CHAPTER 2

THAT'S THE HEAVENLY LIFE

Later in heaven, Shadow was sleeping on one of the soft fluffy clouds, until a light blue hedgehog shook him startling him.

Shadow woke up with panic. He glared at the light blue hedgehog, "Why did you do that? You almost gave me a heart attack!"

He laughed, "A heart attack? Not likely."

"So why did you wake me?"

He shrugged, "For the fun of it." He sat down with him.

The black hedgehog crossed his arms, "Very funny, dad."

Dash once again laughed, "You're just too easy."

Shadow looked around seeing a lot of fluffy clouds and all he could see was the color white, "I love it here."

"Same here, because of this place I gave up on all those drugs."

"That's because there are no drugs here."

"And that's why."

His smile faded, "Yeah, but back on Mobius I still miss all my friends."

"And I'm sure they miss you, but they all know that you're still with them no matter what."

Shadow turned away from him, "Rouge doesn't think so."

"Oh yeah that Knuckles guy took her over didn't he? I wouldn't take that shit. If I were you, I'd go down there and kick his red ass for ever trying to lay a hand on her."

"Too bad they're married", he said sadly.

"Yeah too bad. That white bat girl sure looked hot", he said with a smile.

Shadow turned to him with a confused look, "Don't tell me that you have a crush on her! That's disgusting! Dad, she's my girlfriend!"

Dash started to laugh once again and fell back on the cloud he was sitting on.

Later in hell, Deminse was talking with Ker, "I'm telling yea Ker, this idea is flawless."

"What plan?" Ker asked.

Before he could explain, Karu and Seraku had appeared, "What are you two up to now?"

"Let me explain, okay? My plan is that I break into heaven and steal the light that allows people to enter heaven. So when nobody can get into heaven, they have to go to hell."

Seraku shrugged her shoulders, "What's your point, bro?"

"Not only that, but with it's power we can revive anyone from the grave."

"Deminse, that's a great idea! Let's go tell Dark", Ker said.

"No way, that demon's the reason why we're in hell. I'm going alone and don't worry once I bring you guys back to life, Mobius will truly know what hell is!" He then found the portal to heaven and hell. He then went through the portal and ended up in heaven. He looked around and found it completely disgusted, "Ugh, if this is what heaven is, it sure looks much worse than hell." He began to look for Heaven's Light. "Where is it?" He then saw a white light kept in a fancy container. "Heaven's Light!" He walked up to it and carefully removed the container. He set his hand near the light and the light was being consumed into Deminse's body. "Hell yeah! I feel the power!" He was interrupted when he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Get away from that!"

He quickly spun around and saw a black hedgehog with a light blue hedgehog beside him, "You! What are you doing here?"

"I saved Mobius and I was sent to heaven instead of hell."

"Lucky you", he said with disgust.

Shadow smirked and held out his hand towards him, "Chaos Spear!" Nothing happened.

"Shadow, you can't use your powers here", Dash said.

"Damn it, I forgot!"

Deminse smiled even though he couldn't use his powers either, "You can't? Awesome! How cool is that shit!" He held his hand in the air, "Heaven's Light!" He shouted. Then a stream of white light came down on him. He smirked at Shadow, "Later, Hedgehog." He then disappeared within the light.

"He's gone!" Dash shouted.

"But where did he go?"

"To Mobius", a voice said behind them.

Shadow and Dash spun around and saw a ball of white light.

"It's God", Shadow said.

"Deminse has the light to heaven and without it no one can enter."

Dash gasped, "That's terrible."

"If he's down in Mobius then how are we going to stop him?" Shadow asked.

"You will", God said.

"What? Me? I-I can't go down there. I just can't do it." The real reason why Shadow didn't want to go back was because he was afraid of running into Rouge.

Dash placed his hand on his shoulder, "Come on, Shad. Just because a lot of things had changed doesn't mean it has any effect on you. Besides you saved Mobius before I know you can do it."

Shadow had to agree with him on that. He looked up at him, "I'll do it."

"Good, now Shadow, I have some things to tell you before you go", God said.

"Okay let's hear it."

"When you go back to Mobius you will need all the strength you need to defeat Deminse and possibly any other obstacles that come your way. So I will give you three forms." A yellow light came from God and went inside of Shadow, "The first form is your super form. You're familiar with that form aren't you?" A red light came from him and went inside of Shadow. "The second form is your demon form. Hell's strength is inside of this form. You're quite familiar with that form as well." The last light was a white light and it was consumed into Shadow, "The last form is a new form. It's your angel form. Heaven's strength is inside of that. When you use these forms, they take up a large portion of your power so use them carefully."

"What about my basic powers?" Shadow asked.

"You have them back as well."

"Well I guess I'm ready to confront Deminse."

"One more thing", Dash added. "When you die, you're gonna be brought back here or hell depending on your motives before you die so you'll have unlimited chances of defeating Deminse."

"Please hurry", God said.

From where Shadow was standing a giant hole opened and he fell through. He was now on his way back to Mobius.
