Zero Sagas

Chapter 11: Past, Present and Future

(A/N), I own Zero, Sapphire, Nightmare, and Lifeform 0. I also own the idea of Zero Sagas. I DON'T own Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Knuckles ect. They belong to their respectful owners.

"Behold the room of destiny!" Haze raised her arms into the air and presented them the room.

"Wha?" Julia looked around the room. It was a long room that was medium sized, every couple feet in the room was a pillar that once held a fire in the torches. Julia examined some stones on the floor that apparently had fallen from the roof, then looked to the walls and gasped. On the walls were pictures, not just any pictures, pictures of events that almost destroyed the world, and some she couldn't identify, most were colored some weren't.

"Yes, these are the prophecy's that have occurred, when I was a little girl my parents took me here and showed me." Haze approached the pictures and examined them. "This, is Perfect Chaos, here is Biolizard, and Metal Overlord."

Michelle lifted Quartz onto her shoulders and approached the tablets. "Then what are these colorless ones?"

"Those are events that have yet to happen, remember, these only show major events that are going to happen, not little ones." Haze explained.

Julia looked at each tablet individually, and labeled the events from what she had heard from her travels. She then approached a gray one and stared at it. Yet she didn't know what it meant.

"Haze!" Julia called "What does this tablet mean?"

Haze looked at the tablet and became shocked; she did not remember seeing this tablet.

"Wait, this wasn't here before, something that has happened has changed the course of the future!" Haze stated.

Julia cast Haze a confused look. "So… What does it mean?"

"Well if I'm reading this correctly, Lifeform 0 will rise again!" Haze became very worried. 'What will we do if he returns?'

Suddenly a booming sound from the entrance interrupted her thoughts.

"Someone's coming! We must hide!" Haze beckoned to Julia and Michelle.

They jumped down into a crevice between the panels of the floor and hid silently, waiting for the people to come.

"Why did we come here again?" came a deep male voice.

"Look, if we are going to retrieve all the Chaos Emeralds we are going to have to look everywhere. Besides, I heard rumors of this place and I wanted to see it for myself." Answered a high-pitched female voice.

Julia, Michelle, and Haze peaked out enough to see who was there.

Standing in the center of the room was a black hedgehog; his quills spiked a bit and had red stripes running through them. His shoes were red with what seemed a hover system in them. He wore white gloves and a confused look. The girl standing next to him was pink, she was also a hedgehog and wore a red dress, she had on white gloves that had gold bracelets on them. She wore red boots that went up to her ankle. She wore an evil expression.

"Amy, can we leave now? You know the Chaos Emeralds aren't here." The black hedgehog requested.

"Shadow, if you wish to help, you shall do what you're told or you won't get your wish!" Amy gave Shadow and evil smile, which made Shadow turn away.

Amy turned to the tablets and examined them; she searched them left and right and did not miss a single detail. Shadow kept his back to her, not saying a word.

Julia, Haze, and Michelle sat unmoving in their hiding spot. Haze looked up and saw Shadow's black quills, she examined them for a minute then finally realized.

"Shadow!" Haze said to herself under her breath.

As if hearing his name being called, Shadow's ears perked up, and he turned his head, but to their luck, Shadow did not look in their direction instead he turned to one of the stone tablets on the wall and began examining it. Very soon Amy became frustrated.

"Darn! Shadow! Let's go!" She commanded

Normally Shadow does not do well being given orders but for some reason he did not fight back, he just turned and followed her out. As soon as they were sure Amy and Shadow were gone; Michelle, Julia, and Haze climbed out of their hiding spot.

"What was that all about?" Haze asked

"I don't know…" Julia averted her gaze to Quartz and rubbed her head

"Maybe we should go find Sapphire now, she'll be able to help." Haze stated.

Julia and Michelle promptly agreed, turned, and left for the exit.

MEANWHILE…

"Tails, we should be looking for Eggman! Why are we going to the Ark?" Knuckles asked.

"You know that the Ark has a great system of computers right?" Tails scrambled around the lab for tools to change his ship into a two seater.

"Yeah, I know that! The Ark had the best of everything. Why?" Knuckles was too confused to think things out for himself.

"Well, if we access the computers to the Space Colony we can track down the electrical currents that Eggman's base emits and trace his location." Tails grabbed one of his skateboards and had slid under his ship.

"What makes you think Eggman's base will emit electrical currents?" Knuckles began to fidget with a strange device he found on Tails' desk.

"C'mon Knuckles, this is Eggman we're talking about! He's not just sitting around messing with Tinker Toys and playing Go Fish with his robots all day, he must be working on his next scheme for revenge." Tails explained.

"Oh, well that makes sense…" Knuckles said.

MEANWHILE….

"Do you have any threes?" one robot asked his master.

Eggman set aside his tinker toy robot and glanced at his hand, "Not again! Dang it!" Eggman shouted at the top of his lungs.

Eggman pegged his robot in the face with his last card; having lost 205 times in a row, he grabbed his robot by its shoulders and began chewing its head.

"Sir control yourself, please!" One of the other robots begged.

The robots managed to convince their master to stop and began a new game under the influence that they had lost the 205 games, not him, and delt a new hand.

"Master" one of the robots began, "Do you have any sixes?"

Eggman glanced down to his hand and counted one, two, no, three sixes!

"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!"
