Ch.3: Nazo Appears
When Shadow and Sonic arrived at the scene reported on those news moments earlier, nothing was there except the burnt remains of what was left of Eggman's robot. "I don't see Knuckles anywhere," said Sonic, the blue hedgehog appeared to be confused by his friend's sudden dissapearence. Shadow was searching the surrounding area for clue's, but found nothing. Something is heard over the horizion that makes Sonic and Shadow stop and listen. It was laughter and it wasn't far away, in fact it heading right towards the two hedgehog's. Boy were they surprised when they saw Kimara and Knuckles come up, looking like they just had the best time of their live's.
Sonic grinned, it was his first time to see Knuckles really smile, usaully Knuckles just stayed business acting serious all the time, but not today. Their laughter stopped as they saw Sonic and Shadow standing right in front of them. " What are you guy's doing here?" asked Knuckles. " We heard that you got attacked by Eggman" said Sonic " wanted to make sure that you were alright," Kimara spoke up "Well he is, Who are you?" " I'm Sonic" said Sonic and pointed over to the black hedgehog " that's Shadow," "Nice to meet you," said Kimara. " So Knux, we also heard someone saved you" said Sonic " Who was it?" Knuckles grinned, Kimara blushed. "You're looking at her" he said.
Shadow and Sonic looked at Kimara in disbelief. How could she manage to defeat Eggman like that, that didn't seem possible. " That's impossible" said Shadow. "But it's true" stated Kimara. "How'd you do it?" asked Sonic, getting a little excited. " I'm not sure really" said Kimara " it just happened," " Thing's like that don't happen on accident" said Shadow " I should know," Knuckles and Sonic could sense the double-meaning in Shadow's statement, but Knuckles asked first "What are you talking about Shadow?" " A silver hedgehog a lot like Sonic came and stole a chaos emerald off of the Ark."
Kimara was shocked, ' a silver hedgehog', Nazo, it had to be. That was same hedgehog Tails Doll wanted her to destroy, but why? She still didn't know why Tails Doll wanted Nazo gone, but she knew if she turned agianist Tails Doll who knows what could happen to her. She knew of the legend's and of the curse. Anything and everything the Tails Doll was able to do, everything he knew, she had heard it all. A voice kept prying inside her head, saying the same over and over. 'Force them to tell you where he is, then destroy them all!" She screamed, Sonic, Shadow, and Knuckles covering their ears as Kimara did so.
Sonic and Shadow were shocked at what happened next, her scream grew into a roar and claws began to grow on her hands, to make thing's even more terrifying was that her eye's began to glow red and her howl could be heard from miles away. The setting sun, gave her a firey appearence, like a shadow soluted agiansted fire. There were no doubts now that she couldn't beat Eggman's machine's, because she looked like she could tear three robots apart in one swipe. A silver gleam came from over the hill, and Kimara's gaze was switched over to it
A silver colored hegehog consumed by a bluish glow walked up. His emerald green eye's staring at the snece before him. In his hand was grey chaos emerald he had stolen from the ARK. Shadow's spines twitched in fury, and Sonic stared in amazement. Knuckles was dumbfounded at the sight of another hedgehog like Sonic and Shadow, but this one appeared to be in his Super Form although right now, the only danger present was Kimara. By spending some of the day with her, Knuckles knew she was not the one to think before you act, chances are whatever form she was now in, thinking was no longer an option.
He was proven right when Kimara raced forward her claws ready to slash Nazo apart, but to her and everybody else's surprise her attack sled right through Nazo's chest, but Nazo showed no sign of pain. It was then they saw that he hadn't been hurt at all, the attack had just ghosted through. " Your friend doesn't look very well" said Nazo " I guessing it has something to do with Tails Doll, doesn't it?" "Tails Doll?" said Sonic " Who's he?" " A spirit that has seemed to have taken control over your friend Kimara" said Nazo " he has ordered her to destroy me," " Why?" asked Shadow.
Nazo was reluctant to explian, as Kimara came in for another attack. Nazo dodged and used the choas emerald to call out Chaos Control. All they saw now was a big flash of light, and when it disappeared everyone present was gone. The red jewel on Tails Doll forehead glowed, giving a fearsome glare to his lifeless eye's. He could tell that Kimara had failed, even with the power he had gave her to destroy Nazo, it wasn't enough. Nazo and himself were just phantoms of their former selves, not holding a true body, but enough power to possibly end the world. Unfinished business lied between them, and Tails Doll had used Kimara well to his advantage.
" She has made friend's with Sonic and the others" he thought " soon we shall meet agian Nazo, and I'll destroy you for the traitor you are!"
