Sonic picked up the small shiney stone off the ground. Tails, Blaze and Shadow edged closer to take a look.

"Sonic, isn't that..." Tails traield off.

"I think you're right." Sonic was thinking the same thing.

"That's right." The voice said as a figure materialized in front of them. The figure walked up to the group. "It's a piece of the preciousestone."

"Void!" Sonic shouted.

"That's right, Sonic. In the flesh." Void laughed.

(For those of you who do not know what Void looks like, please look at this picture. http/ the hell are you?" Shadow asked Void.

"I am Void, of Maginary World." Void introduced himself. "And you are?"

"I am Shadow The Hedgehog." Shadow also introduced himself. Blaze stepped forward.

"What's a preciousestone?" She asked Void.

"I wasn't expecting you to know, and I was correct. You were right about the Sol Emeralds and the Chaos Emeralds, but their reaction to one another is not the thing keeping the two worlds apart. Didn't figure that one out, didja Tails?" Void shot Tails a nasty look. "Not so smart now, huh?" Sonic put a shoulder on Tails' shoulder.

"Leave him alone!" Sonic shouted.

"Don't commande me, Sonic!" Void's eyes filled with fury.

"So, the Preciousestone's absence is the thing that is causing the worlds to collide?" Shadow asked, still very confused.

"Correct, Shadow." Void was gald somebody was beginning to understand his plan.

"And what do you plan to do once the world collide?" Blaze asked.

"Watch it all play out and wait for the end." Void answered.

"Yeah, but you'll be gone too! Didn't you think of that?" Sonic reminded Void. Void shook head and smiled.

"My goal is not that of Eggman Nega's. I want to destroy the worlds, not rule them. And this is only the beginning. There are many world beyond these two. Soon, all will be nothingness." Void smiled. His plan was actually working.

"Where did you find this Preciousestone, anyway?" Shadow asked.

"It resides, or resided in Maginary world." Void answered. He felt no need to explain, as Shadow had no idea what Maginary world was anyway.

"And what about Illumina?" Tails asked, in concern for the Preciousestone's guardian.

"She was not an obstacle." Void responded. "She is a worse guardian than the echidna."

"You're not going to get away with this, Void!" Sonic told him.

"But I already have. I can't speed ti up, but your hours are numbered. I control all dimension and time now, and I'll have a little fun until the time comes. Don't try to stop me, I'll send any attacks of yours to another world, as I did with the kitty's fireball." Void explained.
"That was you?" Blaze was amazed. He was the most powerful being in any world now.

"Indeed. you have both sets of emeralds, keep them. They're of no use to me now." Void levitated in the air so he could talk down to the group.

"Goodbye, Sonic, Tails." Void waved. "You've stopped me before, but not this time. You're too late, and totally unaware. Shadow, you seem like an interesting person, I wish I had time to know you better. Farewell, Kitty!" And he was gone.

"Sonic, what do we do?" Blaze asked Sonic.

"I...I don't know, Blaze." Sonic was at a loss.

"We don't even know where he is!" Shadow screamed.

"And he can detour anything we can throw at him." Tails reminded the group. Nobody knew what to do. Eggman was predictable, Black Doom was at least visible. Nobody ever thought Void would be the one to end it all.

"Look!" Shadow pointed to the horizon. A very faint outline of a building could be seen. It was pinkish in color and rather tall.

"It's a mirage." Blaze said with confidence.

"Then why do we all see it?" Tails asked her.

"I say we check it out." Sonic announced.

"Let's not fall for anymore of Void's tricks." Shadow warned Sonic. "Let's just admit the time has come. The world had to end sometime. My promise to Maria will finally be finished. The people had a chance to be happy. Thier chance has ended, as has everybody's. Just let it end, Sonic."

"Hell no!" Sonic shouted. "If you want to die, fine. Blaze, Tails, Let's go!"

"Way ahead of you!" Blaze shouted. She was already ahead of him and running to this new building.

"Wait up!" Tails propelled himself to catch up. Sonic took off after them.

"Faker..." Shadow said under his breath as he watched them run blindly to the building.

Note: Okay, I doubt anybody here has played Sonic Shuffle, so as for Void, he is from that game. I did not make him up. I think this is the first fanfic to ever use him as the main bad guy, so this story is unique. I like reviews, flames welcome. I love hearng what people think, good or bad. Thanks for reading!
