Emerald Fire 2: Rising of the Red Sun
By: Tidota Eru
Ch.1: A Darkened Day
From river to sun, a shot of a gun. River of flame, oh what is thy name. Sun beating red, fill my heart with dread. And bring me the end of life!
Shadow did not know how true those words were fixing to become. The dark clouds that had darkened the sky earlier were gone. Peligro and his army were put to dust. And yet it felt like the whole battle had just begun. The Master Emerald was still releasing fire, the ritual was still at large, and Knuckles who had started it had no idea what to do. Neither did the others. Amy took a wild glance at the sky and gasped in alarm. The other's looked at her and then turned their gaze on the sky. The sun was slowly turning a blood red, it was everybody's turn to gasp.
Sonic: What the heck's happening?
As soon as the sun seemed to change, everything changed. The emerald fire was begining to rise up into the sky as the reddened sun changed the whole sky to the souless color of red. Shadow noticed that the fire was starting to take shape, and soon a pair of blazing green eye's were soon staring down at all of them.
The Devoyer: Finally after ten thousand years of imprisionment I am free to roam once agian. You fools tried to keep me cotianed, but seems like one of your friend's has broken that trust.
Shadow: We've already forgiven him. Who are you?
The Devoyer: laughs If I were you Shadow, I'd be seeking a safe place to hide. I'm not called The Devoyer for nothing.
Sonic: So you're the one behind all this, like it or not the game's over.
The Devoyer: I wouldn't count this as over, just, the begining of the end.
The eye's fade away and Shadow is left staring after them while the other's try to figure this out.
Knuckles: It's my fault he's free.
Tails: Hey, we're not pinning this on you. That nightshade had you under his control.
Rouge: Does anybody know anything about this Devoyer guy?
Everyone except Shadow shook their heads, his attention was focused on the sky. Sonic notices Shadow's stillness.
Sonic: You okay Shadow?
Shadow tilted his head down and said.
Shadow: What about the book's?
Knuckles noticed the question was directed at him.
Knuckles: What about them?
Shadow: If you kept records of everything wouldn't there be some mention about The Devoyer?
Knuckles:gets the point Oh I see. It may take a while, but I'm sure I can find out.
The others were listening to the two as if they had forgotten they were even there.
Sonic: Uh guys remember us? Some of us want to know what's going on here.
Shadow: We'll fill ya in later, Knuckles...
Knuckles needed no further urging and opened the hidden door that led inside of the Master Emerald's alter.
