Chapter 4: The Beginning of The Adventure
Shades looks around.
They're surrounded by black and red aliens.
He then looks on the ground near him.
He sees a gun.
"Cream...I need you to prepare yourself for something," Shades whispers to Cream.
"Ok..." Cream whispers back.
Shades then quickly grabs the gun, grabs Cream, zips on top of a nearby car, and shoots all the aliens dead.
From the car, still holding onto Cream and his gun, he jumps on top of a high building and looks down at the ground.
"Where the heck could he be...?" Shades whispers to himself.
Shades sees Shadow grabbing a green chaos emerald, and going on ahead.
"Lets go!" Shades says.
They start to follow Shadow, seeing that he's killing GUN soldiers.
"Is he really that evil?" Shades says to himself.
Shades watches as Shadow kills the last soldier, and grabs the second emerald.
"WAIT!" Shades yells.
But its too late, a black alien warps him somewhere.
"Well, that wasn't any luck," Shades says sadly.
"MR. SONIC!" Cream yells running off.
"Sonic...?" Shades says, turning around.
And there he was, Sonic himself.
"Hey there Cream! Who's this guy?" Sonic asks.
"My name's Shades, I need to find Shadow." Shades says.
"Well, if you're looking for Shadow, I can't help you," Sonic says.
"Darn..." Shades says to himself.
Suddenly, without warning, Cream is blown away by an explosion, and so is Sonic and Shades.
Shades wakes up in some kind of castle-like place.
"You gotta find Cheese! I'll be fine here," Cream says in the distance.
"Ok, we'll come back for you," an unknown person says.
"C'mon Amy, lets find her Chao so we can get her out of here," the unknown person says to the other.
"Ok Shadow," Amy says.
Shades gets up just in time to see them leave.
He runs over and finds Cream.
"Mr. Shades!" Cream says, jumping out and hugging him.
"C'mon, I'll help you find Cheese. Shadow must have something else to do here anyway.
Later, they see Shadow find Cheese along with a fourth Chaos Emerald.
"Hey there!" Shades shouts.
"Huh?" Shadow looks at Shades.
Shades walks over and lets Cream get Cheese.
"I thought that with Cream and Cheese here, you'd have a little too much to handle," Shades says, smiling.
"Thanks, but who are you, might I ask?" Shadow asks Shades.
"My name's Shades The Hedgehog, but I'll tell you more later, you go back to looking for whatever you're looking for," Shades says to Shadow.
"Ok, thanks," Shadow says, and zooms off.
"WAIT FOR ME!" Amy shouts, running off after him.
"I think he can handle this on his own," Shades says to Cream.
"Yeah!" Cream says.
"All I need is someplace to stay," Shades says to himself.
"You can live with me!" Cream says.
"What a great idea! Just tell me where your house is," Shades says.
Later that night, they arrive at Cream's house.
Shades rings the doorbell.
Vanilla answers the door.
"Cream! Where have you been? And who's this?" Vanilla asks.
"This is Shades! He needs a place to stay!" Cream says.
"Uh...hi?" Shades says nervously.
"Well come on in!" Vanilla says.
They both walk in, and Shades feels calm, not knowing of what is going to happen.
