CHAPTER 2
CHLOE'S WARNING
Shadow stood there not knowing what to say for a minute or two. He turned to Dark in confusion, "So you're saying that I can open the gate to hell?"
Dark slowly nodded.
The black hedgehog crossed his arms, "Then I won't do it."
Dark frowned, "You won't huh?" He placed his hand on his shoulder and suddenly Shadow felt kinda evil. Dark made an evil smile, "You will now obey me, Shadow. Transform into your demon form."
After Dark's request Shadow's eyes turned piercing red.
Back at the Chaotix everyone was stunned to see the beautiful young girl standing in the middle of the room.
Vector was puzzled about her appearing. 'Could she be a threat? She couldn't be. She looks so innocent.' "Who are you?" Vector asked.
The mysterious girl walked towards the group staring at every single one of them, "Where is he?"
Tonya was confused about the girl as well, "Who?"
"Darkness."
"Darkness?" Charmy looked over to Espio, "Isn't he the demon form of Shadow?"
Espio nodded, "That's right, but..." He looked over to the girl, "How did you know that?"
The girl sighed, "My name is Chloe and I've come to send a message. Shadow the Hedgehog is the key to hell and now him and Lord Dark is going to the Syherin Desert to do it."
"What!" Tonya shouted.
Rouge tilted her head to the floor, "Shadow..."
"Come on! We gotta stop him before it's too late!" Chloe shouted with panic.
Charmy flew up to her before she went anywhere, "Hey we could use the X-jet. It's a lot faster than walking."
The girl smiled, "Yes much better."
Later at the Syherin Desert, Dark and Darkness were ready to open the gate.
Dark looked over to Darkness, "You know what to do."
He nodded and held his hand with his strange birthmark on it towards the sky. The mark on his hand glowed a green color and the light shot towards the sky.
The weather in the sky was no longer sunny, now it was dark and cold.
Dark looked up at the little green hole in the sky and smiled evilly, "The gate is opening, but it won't be complete until three days."
Darkness looked over to him waiting for him to give him another order.
"You've done enough." Dark's eyes glowed redder than usual then they turned back to its original color.
Darkness then kneeled to the ground and started to change back into the black hedgehog he once was.
Behind him, Dark noticed he heard the X-jet. He looked over to the Chaotix getting out of the plane. He crossed his arms, "Too late, losers."
Vector walked up to him and cracked his knuckles, "Dark. Well what do you know."
"Challenging me to a fight, crocodile?"
Rouge ran over to Shadow and kneeled next to him. "Shadow, are you okay?"
He slightly nodded, "Yeah."
"Oh no!" Chloe shouted while staring at the little green light in the sky, "It's already done. The gate is opened and there's nothing we can do about it."
Charmy looked over to her, "Can we close it?"
Chloe sadly looked over to Charmy, "Within three days the gate will be completely opened", she said in a low voice just enough for Charmy to hear her. "The only way to close it is if we destroy the key that opened the gate."
Charmy looked over to Shadow slowly, "That means Shadow."
Shadow turned to Rouge, "What happened?"
Rouge pointed to the green light that was centered in the sky, "That's the gate to hell and Dark just forced you to open it."
Shadow hit the sand with his fist, "Damn! How dare he!" He stood from the ground and ran towards Dark with a red light coming from both of his hands, "Chaos Blast!" The red light hit Dark critically.
Dark fell to the ground bleeding all around his body.
Shadow stood in front him with his hand glowing a yellow color.
The demon began to laugh a bit, "You're too late. What good will this do to Mobius if you kill me?"
The hedgehog gritted his teeth, "Don't worry, we'll think of something." The light from his hand struck down at the demon killing him instantly.
