Ch.6: Jewel of Trust

The red sky seemed to release an eerie glow as the group walked through. Shadow was keeping close to Shadow6000, he still wasn't sure he could trust this andriod, Shadow6000 was probally thinking the same thing. The group stopped in the forest and decided to make camp. Like always Knuckles was sent out to fetch the wood.

Knuckles: Why can't somebody else gather it for a change?

Shadow sugguested that they should probally keep watch for The Devoyer. It was agreed and he took the first watch. The others were soon asleep, all except Shadow6000, being an andriod and all. Shadow was staring into the red sky thinking, not just to himself.

Shadow:I know your out there. I know what your here for. I know you won't win.

Shadow then notices Shadow6000 step up behind him.

Shadow: What do you want?

Shadow6000: What are you doing?

Shadow: I asked first.

Shadow6000: Well...who is this Devoyer you guys keep talking about?

Shadow briefly explianed The Devoyer, but it felt like this converstation was getting nowhere fast. Shadow shook his head and turned away.

Shadow: If you expect me to trust that easy don't bet on it.

Shadow6000: I won't. After all I was built for the purpose of destroying you.

Shadow: And that's supposed to help? his head snapped up suddenly He's here!

Shadow6000 looked at the sky seeing the ghostly green form of The Devoyer approaching. Shadow quickly awakened the others and they all turned their gaze to the sky. The Devoyer opened his mouth to reveal gleaming fangs, he lunged right toward Shadow. There was no time for him to move out of the way. He closed his eye's preparing for the worst, but it did not come. His chaos aura was not being drained, he reopened his eye's to see Shadow6000 had taken the hit.

Shadow6000:to Shadow I'm supposed to destroy you...not this guy...

Shadow: You'll be destroyed!

Shadow6000:tries to wink Trust me.

In flash The Devoyer and Shadow6000 were gone, but something was left in their place. A jewel shining brightly despite of the red sky. The Jewel of Trust.
