Author: Well, this is nothing too special. Just another relax moment of something like that. Andd I am running out of things to say. Whether by that, I am just alone working in this pit full place. One thing for sure is that my mission here would be different. I'm saying too much, anyways, let's get on with the story.

Chapter 19: Magic and Chaos Questions

After the events of what happened to Pinkie Pie. Our heroes decided to rest for a few days before getting back to their usual works. Twilight had sent a reports to Princess Celestia about what happened to Pinkie Pie and still the answer she wanted to know about Pinkie Pie is yet unknown. Rainbow Dash is always doing her laps around in the sky performing tight turns and curves for better action. Rarity is resting for awhile at her house as she has not gaining enough energy to work to the day. Silver is the one who take in-charge of preparing the kit for Rarity, when she wakes up. Fluttershy is checking on her animals to see if they're all fine. Pinkie Pie is at her daily work back at the Sugarcube Corner. Applejack is working again at the farm though without Shadow. As for Shadow, he's at the barn with Sonic.

"So, got any clue to what exactly happened?" Sonic asked the black hedgehog who is observing the emerald left and right.

"I'm still uncertain. I don't know any possible way for me to get an answer. Even checking the energy levels from the inside is still the same." Shadow said as he toss it to Sonic.

Sonic grabbed the emerald and decides to look at it for himself, "Hmm... you're right. We can't easily track the negativity. But I'm really sure that we can see the negativity on a certain chaos emerald."

"It must have to do something with the Master Emerald." Shadow guessed which by then Sonic raised his head from this theory.

"The Master Emerald? What made you say that?" Sonic tilt his head in slight confusion.

"The Master Emerald is the one who balances the energies of the chaos emerald. And without around this world, it could make the chaos emeralds unbalance it self easily. Thus forming a new ability that isn't our reach." Shadow said as he pick out the other chaos emeralds, "Can you see the images of our friends inside?"

Sonic approach Shadow and slowly he thought, "Did he just say... 'our friends'? Heh, he totally changed."

As Sonic grabbed one of the chaos emerald, he tried to look at the chaos emerald directly with his naked eye.

"I don't see anything." Sonic said which Shadow sighed and snatch the chaos emerald.

"Idiot. You have to focus and use that chaos energy you have to see what I'm talking about." Shadow said as he closed his eyes and concentrate.

"Right right.." Sonic said as he rolled his eyes, grabbed another chaos emerald, and do what Shadow just did. He closed his eyes to see what Shadow meant.

He gotten deeper inside of the chaos emerald and what Shadow said is true. He saw a figure, a silhouette of a pegasus.

"Rainbow Dash?" Sonic thought but then he accidentally went deeper in the chaos emerald, "Woah!"

Sonic slowly opens his eyes and saw that he is in a clear blue sky, "Where... am I?"

"Is that really true...?" A familiar voice said as Sonic looked around to see who said that.

He then saw a pegasus flying around the area, "Rainbow Dash? What exactly is this place? Why can I see Rainbow Dash?"

"I know Twilight is my friend... and I'm sure Sonic is also my friend... is he? Argh! Stop thinking about it Rainbow Dash and focus on your mission beating Sonic!" Rainbow said in her thoughts.

"Hey! Why are you training to beat me?" Sonic said from surprise.

"Huh? Sonic? Argh, even his voice is getting to my head. Likewise, I don't really like him... Do I?" Rainbow said in her thoughts again which by then surprised Sonic.

"Like me?" Sonic said again but he got snapped and everything went dark to his vision, "What happened now?"

Sonic then starts to wake up, he can't see properly but he can hear someone calling him out.

"Hey Faker! Wake up! Faker!" It was Shadow's voice.

"Wah..." Sonic then opens his eyes as he see himself being push back and forth by Shadow.

He sighed before he could start to talk, "You idiot. I only said that you would just go and look at the one who activates them to see the image I was talking about, not enter their minds."

"Enter... their... minds?" Sonic wondered.

Shadow nodded, "The chaos emeralds has that ability to let anyone enter the minds of the ones who activates the chaos emerald."

"Activates? What is going on with the chaos emerald? And wait a minute, you can spy on anyone who activated the chaos emerald?!" Sonic yelled out as it seems it is a big deal to him.

"I could do that. But I rather not to. And yes, it appears the energy that Tails have used caused the chaos emerald to be dormant. Making it unable to detect with just my chaos senses." Shadow explained.

"I see. But that doesn't mean I can trust you about spying on our friends." Sonic said as he glared at Shadow.

"Listen faker, I don't have the giggles or fun times to spy on other people but rather secure if the energy levels became unbalance again." Shadow corrects Sonic.

"So let me guess, you're gonna warn us if something happens in their thoughts or minds that would destroy this place?" Sonic asked about it.

"If you put it that way. Yes." Shadow simply said so.

Sonic took Shadow's point and sighs in defeat, "Fine... but the real question is, how did a chaos emerald created a whole new different world?" Sonic wondered.

"That, I'm still figuring how. But while you're experiencing the first time to enter one's mind. I checked at Pinkie Pie's thought. I saw the forest that we are in. But instead of we known as the Darktail Woods, it became natural. A natural color of pink." Shadow tells his story.

"Okay... but what does all mean? The negative thought of Pinkie Pie disappeared and became balanced again?" Sonic guessed.

"Could be. We only have that information. Nothing else." Shadow said.

Sonic sighed again as they have no clue on the new capabilities, "I'm gonna head back and tell this to Twi. She might have a theory to this." And with that Sonic jumps off to the window and landed in a cool way and sped off.

"Twi? Hmph, I can't believe that faker gave the princess a nickname. It's something..." Shadow didn't finish his sentence.

"Something cute isn't?" His magic form shows up.

"W-What? No. It's not. And why are you here now? Can't you leave me alone in peace?" Shadow said as he walked away from the window.

"He is right though."

"About what?"

"Of you, being changed."

Shadow then stood like he is surprised. He then remember what Sonic said to him the other day.

"Tch! That faker doesn't know who I am!" Shadow said as he said his word with a thought.

"Is that so?" The magic form flew near beside him, "You do realize that I can see through your memories. And if I'm not mistaken, your role of being a lonewolf is starting to get changed as if you finally understanding the real meaning of friendship."

Shadow walks away from his magic form, "Maria wanted me to give others a chance to be happy... that's all it is."

"Is that so? I wouldn't be surprise that you are following her promise even if she is a part of the person who ru-"

"I don't care! I'm not that type of person or hedgehog to break one's promise. That's all." Shadow said which made his magic form silent.

"You are interesting Shadow the Hedgehog. You feel nothing has changed but you are mistakenly not noticing the you are being changed by this world. I was wrong that I chose you but it seems that soon you will find out the truth about your destiny and our purpose..." His magic form said in his thought and disappears in thin air.

"Hmph. Finally, peace." Shadow said as he sits down and meditates.

Author: Well that's it for this one. I gotta say, a week for this little chapter? Yeah Ikr. Been busy lately and well I manage to get it done. I also change the titles of my chapters since I notice it on my notifs. It says, "Moonlight Arc blablabla posted a chapter blabla" and then it has the title of the chapter, "Chapter 21: Chapter 19:" So it's totally weirding me out. That is why I remove the chapters making it pretty neat and clean. Anyways, I've been looking forward for my fellow author, LoveandEdify, with his works which it's not that cliche in the other stories I've read when it comes to romance. Also for, Thatoneguy753 which is one of the reasons I started making a fanfiction :3 And if "That guy" do read this, I hope I get to read more of the sequel! :D Yeah... go check his works out.

Author: As for my fellow reviewers, I am glad and happy to have those positive reviews, although I feel bit ashamed that I found out that my grammar is not that good. Tbh, English language is not my first, well, language, so I'm sorry about that. But I do take this as the opportunity to improve :D I more thing, I have a little idea on what to say at top since I make a new chapter after I posted the recent one which gives me a less idea to say. And all of the thought that I would say ended up here since it's been a week, so yeah :V

Author: I wonder what Shadow's magic form meant about Shadow's destiny and their true purpose... hmm. Welp gotta wait for that to find out the real reason. And that's all for me, Moonlight Arc here, signing out!
