CHAPTER 3 : Mazuri

" But its true!They came in with a and a, and carried poor professor Pickle away!" The professor's assistant exclaimed moving her arms making large gestures.

Shadow sighed, the doctor had many different bases all around the world. It would be a hassle searching all of them. Maybe the assistant, knew were they took her.

"Do you at least have an idea as to were the doctor took the professor?" Shadow questioned uncrossing her arms.

Tails and Sonic both turned too look at the assistant hoping her answer would be a positive one. The assistant sadly shook her head muttering a soft sorry, Tails and Chip both slumped solemnly.

"Hey don't worry guys! Maybe the other residence in the town may have an idea as to were the professor is. We just have to ask around."Sonic said grinning.

The two mobians chiwawa thing and human turned too Sonic. Chip and the assistant smiling.

"That's actually a really good idea Sonic." Tails spoke surprised. Beside her Shadow nodded." I am impressed Sonic. I did not think you could come up with ideas like this."

"What?! Come on I have had plenty good ideas! Come on! I mean I expected a response like this from Shadow But you too Tails!?" She exclaimed shaking her head in a fake disappointed manner.

Tails blinked placing her hands on her hip scowled at Sonic a sly grin spreading on her muzzle.

"Really Sonic? Usually your ideas are really unreasonable. Remember the avalanche incident on Angel Island?"

Sonic spluttered and denied that that ever remembered it all too well. Knuxy had gotten so mad with them she had not allowed any of them back on the floating Island for one month.

Shadow and Chip looked between the two wondering what exactly they were talking about.


"Alright! While you guys search for clues on the professor's whereabouts, I'll go ready the tornado!I will be waiting at the town's exit!"Without even waiting for a response, Tails took off in the air twirling her twin tails.

Sonic glanced at Shadow before chuckling.
"So I guess your stuck with us for now, eh Shadow?"

"It would seem that way."Shadow sighed."Look why don't we split up and ask around it will be faster this way. We will meet up at that bakery near the town's exit at noon."Shadow suggested looking at Sonic.

"Sounds like a plan Shads!"Sonic grinned grabbing Chip before running away .
She could faintly hear Shadow angrily yell at her, It only caused the azure hedgehog to laugh Chip glanced down at Sonic from his perch on top of her head wondering why she was laughing. Maybe it was because of the scary ebony hedgehog?

Shadow sighed not really angry just annoyed with the other hedgehog. Looking around She decided to start with questioning the students. It would seem reasonable to start with them.

Sonic groaned, nobody seemed to have seen the professor in days and nobody she asked knew were he could possibly be.
Chip floated down next to Sonic it was nearly noon and not a single lead.'This is becoming a hassle. If nobody knows then what are we going to do? Hopefully Shadow had better luck.' Looking up at the town's clock tower she noticed time was up just in time as she was in front of the bakery.

"I really hope you got any leads Sonic." Shadow said walking towards the azure hedgehog.

"You didn't find anything either?!"Sonic asked tiredly.

"No nobody seems to know where the professor is. I see you did not have any luck either." Shadow answered.

"Excuse me?"

The three animals turned to see an adult woman approaching them.

"I could not help but overhear. Is the professor your looking for, is Professor Pickle by any chance?" She asked stopping in front of them.

"Have you seen him?!"Sonic exclaimed suddenly seeming full of energy again.

"Why yes i have. He was being carried away by these round robots. The seemed to be listening to that egg shaped Lady, laughing well, her laugh kind of sounded like Santa Claus." She answered Sonic.

"Do you know were they were heading? ."Shadow said much more calm then Sonic.

"Actually yes She had yelled that they were off to Mazuri"The lady said facing Shadow.


"You know Shadow..."Sonic began standing on the tornado's left wing.

Shadow hmmed and looked at Sonic from were she was standing on the right wing.

"I have been wondering for a while now about your rings. What happened to them they are all cracked and kinda glowy."

Tails and Chip perked up interested and glanced at the other hedgehog's wrist and enough the four rings were all golden color seemed to be steadily dimming, and the red cracks spreading.

"I cant believe i did not notice that earlier!Shadow are you alright with your rings in that state?"Tails esclaimed knew full well what purpose those rings served. They're current state was worrying.

Chip looked at the three females confused."Hey whats going on? Why are those rings so important?"

Shadow sighed looking at the small chiwawa she explained "These are my inhibitor rings."She held up one of her hands up showing the damaged ring."They seal away a big portion of my chaos i have such a large amount of it i have diffulculty controlling all of it at once, so when i use it i exaust all my chaos energy and tire myself rings keep me from collapsing of overuse"

"Whoaa!I had no idea such small things could do so much!"Chip exclaimed its large eyes comicaly wide.

"They got this cracked the other night when the planet split and I lost my chaos energy. It would seem it is trying to keep whatever little chaos energy I have left inside my body."She sighed tiredly gazing down at the clouds."But at night my chaos energy keeps slipping out through the cracks."
