Amy and Shadow continued to walk in the darkness until Amy bumped into something, "What's this?" she asked.
"What?" Shadow asked.
"There is something blocking my way," Amy said reaching out to grab a knob. She turned, a bright light came from the exit. Amy swung the door and it slammed on something. As Amy and Shadow walked through some small people greeted them.
"You killed the wicked witch of the Black Swamp!" one cheered. Amy looked over, the thing that the door crushed was a body but is soon disappeared.
"Who are all of you and where are we?" Shadow asked carelessly.
"We are citizens of Candy Land!" a second said.
"I vote we go back," Shadow said immediately.
"But they are so cute!" Amy squealed. Shadow turned to the door they came in but it was locked, he pounded his fists on the door but it was still closed.
"How do we leave, tell me now!" Shadow demanded.
"All you have to do is follow the yellow Twix Road to see the Doctor." With out another word Shadow grabbed Amy's and started walking. The little town started singing as they walked down the road.
"Hey you two, yeah you!" Amy and Shadow turned to see Sonic dressed up in a green button up shirt a straw hat and blue pants, he also had hay coming out the sides. Amy and Shadow walked up to the side of a cornfield where Sonic was.
"What do you want?" Shadow asked irritably.
"Are you two going to see the Doctor?" he asked.
"No, we are going to see a play," Shadow said with sarcasm.
"Oh, well never mind then."
"Yes we are," Amy rolled her eyes at Shadow.
"Ah, that's good. I need to ask something of him."
"What would that be?" Amy asked.
"I need a brain."
"Sure could." Shadow mumbled with his arms crossed.
"Can I come?" He pleaded.
"Sure," Amy said cheerfully. The three continued to walk down the crunchy Twix Road, the scenery was a beautiful sight of light, colors, and happiness. Shadow despised it. As they continued through, the three spotted a robot standing next to a tree. They stopped and looked at the robot, it looked female and resembled Rouge the Bat.
"Gins!" she mumbled.
"What did she say?" Amy asked.
"Who cares," Shadow retorted.
"Gems," The robot bat said clearly. Shadow took out a Chaos Emerald and placed it on one of her out stretched hands. She slowly became movable, she then put the emerald in her chest compartment.
"Are you all going to see the Doctor?" she asked.
"Yes!" Amy answered before Shadow could make a smart-ass remark.
"Well I need to go see him, I need gems." The four continued to walk and the bright and sunny pasture got dark and dangerous. Dead trees hung over them so it blocked out the sunny. The Twix Road along this time was crunchy and old, it stank badly. The four walked slowly, looking at their dark setting. They all stopped.
"Did you hear that?" Amy asked.
"Yes…" both Sonic and Rouge held each other. A red furred animal jumped out and roared pathetically. When it did Shadow took boxer's stance and knocked the animal down with one punch. It lay there on its face. The creature slowly stood up, Amy, Sonic, and Rouge took a step back when it did.
"What the hell man!" it tuned it looked like knuckles. He was wearing big dorky glasses and had a bloody nose. "Since when do you hit a guy with glasses?" His blood matched his fur that surrounded his face.
"You poor, baby!" Amy cried as she aided him. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," he said softly. "But that big dumb jerk broke my glasses!" he removed them. Amy frowned as she faced Shadow.
"Look at what you've done!"
"Hey he just tried to attack us!"
"You weren't scared?"
"No."
"Oh god, I'm a puss, and now I can't see…this is the worst day ever!" He yelled into the sky.
"No…no, its ok," Amy said softly to his as she held his hand, "We are going to see the Doctor so you can ask for new glasses!"
"Hey yeah! That could work, let's go!" Knuckles said enthusiastically. So the abandon circus freaks traveled through the woods. A man with a burned face watched them through an orb.
"You three!" He pointed to a mummy, a wolf man, and a leprechaun. "Go and catch those stupid…animals, kids, or whatever the hell they are. Just bring them to me!" The three left. The leprechaun, wolf man, and mummy jumped out of some bushes as they saw the group.
"I think we can take them!" Amy got out her hammer. The leprechaun created a rope that tied them together. They all soon vanished.
The group waited in a jail cell, "What's the plan?" Sonic asked. The door suddenly opened. Two men stood by the door one was about six feet seven inches and the other wore a hokey mask. One man stood in front of them and the other stood in back. They were led to the main room where the burn faced man waited.
"Hello children…" The man said.
"Who are you?" Amy demanded.
"I'm Freddy of the Dark Forest. I stopped you, do you know why."
"You're going to eat us?" Sonic guessed.
"Wrong!" Freddy said in anger, Knuckles cowered in fear.
"R-Really what is it." The coward asked.
"I herd you were going to see the Doctor! I can't let you do that."
"Why not?" Rouge asked.
"I'm getting hungry for kills!"
"You are no serious!" said the Tall Man. The man in the mask stepped forward and stretched out his arm, pointed his machete at the group.
"So you think they are yours?" Freddy stepped forward.
"You can't possibly cause them as much pain as I could!" Tall Man argued.
"let's go," Sonic whispered. They all got out of the tower as the three fought. Soon the light could be seen. They came up to a big city, it had fast cars, cop chases, thieves, killers, drug addicts, and many other problems. A sign read: Welcome To Chaos City!
"Chaos City?" Amy questioned.
"Sounds about right," Shadow crossed his arms. The group walked through the city there were many car accidents, unfinished road construction, and the sidewalks were full of trash. Finally they got to the big mansion which was own by the major of the city. Shadow kicked the large doors open. The group walked down a long hallway to come to a dead end. They only thing they saw was a picture of a tall and slightly muscular man with a full head of red hair, he was dress elegantly.
"All that for nothing!" Shadow groaned.
"Who dares approach me!?" The picture asked Knuckles jumped behind Amy to hide.
"Are you the major?" Amy asked.
"Yes I am, who are you?" it boomed.
"Well I'm Amy and these are my friends." As Amy and the picture talked Shadow looked around rubbing his chin suspiciously. There was a large red button next to him: Do Not Press At Any Time!! Shadow pressed it. The mansion started to shake and crumble. The floor beneath the group disappeared. They slid down a slide to the major.
"How did you circus freaks get here?" a fat man asked.
"Are you the major?" Sonic asked.
"…Yes!" he said after moments of hesitation.
"You look nothing like the picture…" Rouge mumbled.
"Yes I know, that was my youth, I was the best there was in my teen years…I remember it like it was yesterday…"
"Whoa! Whoa!" Shadow stopped him. "We didn't travel here just to see your "glory days". We came here so we could get home."
"Oh and I suppose you all want gifts?" he asked smartly. They all nodded.
"I need gems!" Rouge said.
"I need brains!" Sonic said.
"I want courage!" Knuckles said. The fat man rolled his eyes and sighed.
"Ok, you can rob a shop a block from here, go to school, and get a tattoo," The major said quickly.
"Why a tattoo?" Knuckles asked.
"It will make you look tough, now leave!" The three left quickly, but Amy and Shadow stayed.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"To go home." Amy said. The major quickly zapped them both with his finger and they disappeared. Amy looked up.
"Were home!" Amy cheered.
"Get off," Shadow mumbled.
"What?" Amy was lying on top of him. She helped him up. Everything was back to normal. Amy and Shadow walked out side, looking around they both saw no one. The streets were dark and empty.
