Song: Follow Me-Team Rose

The girls were in the forest. Jasmine and Amy, were picking flowers, Rouge was eating a sandwich, and Cream and Marine were playing with Cheese the Chao. "This is so peaceful. It's hard to believe that brute walks through here everytime he attacks town. You'd think it'd be in flames." Amy pondered.

"Well, everyone has a soft spot for something. His must be for nature." Jasmine theorised.

"Or maybe he's focused on one thing and doesn't even notice the forest." Rouge interjected.

While they were talking, Cheese had wandered off and Cream and Marine went to go look for him. "Cheese! Cheese! Where'd you go?" Cream yelled.

Marine looked around every tree, and climbed up one to see above the canopy, but she couldn't see the chao anywhere. "I can't see him Cream."

"Where could he be?"

Cream and Marine enter a clearing and take a break. While they were there, they saw an older, multi colored mobian. Orange head, blue body, and brown tail. He was wearing a red shirt, blue pants, and green shoes. Cream walked towards him, and Marine followed.

"Hey mister, have you seen any chao?"

"No."

"Oy mate! I've never seen you around here. Ya got a name?" Marine asked..

The older mobian pondered for a second. "My name is Samuel. What about the two of you?"

"My name's Marine, and this sheila is Cream."

"Nice to meet you." Cream did a curtsy.

The mobian appeared to be thinking. Then he spoke again.

"You two should go find your parents."

Cream giggled. "We're here with friends. But maybe they're looking for us."

"Then let's get going! Later mate!" Cream and Marine walked back to the others.

"He seemed nice." Cream pointed out.

"He acted like the strong, silent type. Maybe he's strong enough to fight the cloaked figure." Marine said.

"Hmm… I think all we need is Shadow. But a little extra help wouldn't hurt."

"Back to another subject. We still have to find Cheese." Cream thought a bit.

"Maybe he went back to the others?"

Song: Soleanna Forest

Amy and the others were looking for Cream, Marine, and Cheese.

"Where do you think they went?" Jasmine asked.

"I'm not sure. We'll just have to keep looking." Rouge said.

They found themselves near a path. Jasmine took a look on it and saw the multi-colored mobian. She felt enchanted by his fur. She watched him walk away.

"Jasmine, are you ok?" Amy brought her out of her trance.

"Oh… yeah." Amy saw that Jasmine still wasn't completely there.

"You saw a boy. Didn't you?" Jasmine jumped at that.

"What makes you say that?" Rouge was amused.

"You look like you've experienced love at first sight." She giggled while Jasmine blushed.

"C-c-c-come on guys! We have to find Cream and Marine."

"I think I hear them." They turned around and went back the way they came to see Cream and Marine at the picnic site with Cheese. "There you guys are."

Cream turned towards them. "Sorry we left. Cheese wandered off."

Amy walked over and hugged them. "It's ok. But the forest can be dangerous."

They finished their picnic and went home.

Song: Soleanna Castle Town

Shadow and Silver and Espio were at a restaurant in the Sorean town, Twilight Station. Shadow told them about his day.

"So you met a girl in town, and you think you like her?"

Shadow blushed at Silver's comment, but kept a cool head. "I don't remember saying anything about how I feel." Espio was amused.

"Your actions speak louder than your words."

Shadow scoffed. "I'm still cooler than both of you put together." Silver sighed.

"You sound kinda vain Shadow. Girls like Maria don't like that." Shadow began gathering yellow energy in his right hand. "I'll shut up now." He let the energy disperse.

"I thought you needed a Chaos Emerald to do that." Espio pondered.

"No. I've studied up on Chaos Energy. Everyone has the capabilities to use it, and everyone has some in them, so you should be able to do small techniques. Like Chaos Snap. Larger techniques like Chaos Control require a Chaos Emerald. And both kinds of techniques can become even stronger with more Chaos Emeralds."

"That's pretty cool." Silver stated.

"I've also read that some people can use entirely different techniques based on their elemental affinities, new techniques are get discovered from time to time, the last time was 10 years ago. But Chaos Control and Chaos Snap are common to practically everyone who uses Chaos Energy. No one else could replicate my Chaos Spear, so I can assume that no one has my Affinity."

"Well, not too many people know how to harness Chaos Energy. In fact, I think you're the only one in town who can." Silver said.

"Maybe."

Song: Aquatic Base

It is now nighttime. Jasmine was out of bed. She decided to go out back to relax in nature.

Espio was out of bed. He had always pushed to get someone out patrolling at night, but no one was ever assigned, so he was unofficially patrolling each night.

Tonight was pretty calm. He could hear every rustle around him. But then he heard footsteps. Fast ones. He quickly ran to see what it was. He jumped up onto the highest building to see a green crocodile and a yellow fox just sitting there. He heard more footsteps around the town. He decided to give his friends a call.

"We have intruders in town. I see 6 hostiles, but there may be more. Be on guard." The two mobians heard him make the call. "Might I ask what you two are doing on the roof of our temple?"

They looked at each other. "We're just resting." The crocodile lied. Espio got his ninja stars out and threw it. The croc and fox jumped over it and ran. Espio chased after the crocodile.

Song: VS. Character Sonic 06

Silver ran over to Espio and saw an unfamiliar yellow fox. He gave chase. "Hey fox! What are you doing here?" The fox saw Silver behind him and began to fly. "Whoa! That's some fast flying" The moment he said that he felt lighter all of a sudden. He looked below him and saw green energy lifting him off of the ground. "Cool." He spread his wings and, along with his new powers, chased after the fox.

Rouge, Marine, and Amy were all running to the town square. Cheese was with them. It was dark, but they were able to see three figures running around. One was running up and down every thing he saw. Another was digging up the grass. And the last one was ramming into everything. Rouge and Amy were pissed.

"Those idiots are making a mess." Rouge ran and kicked the digging one in the face, and Amy hit the wall runner with her hammer. Marine decided to ram into the one that's running into everyone.

"Do you think it's alright to be digging up someone's property? Do you?" Rouge asked the echidna as he was getting up.

"Why yes. Yes I do. Now leave me alone." Rouge kicked him again, but this time he caught her foot.

Amy was getting ready to slam her hammer into the hedgehogs skull again. "What do you think you're doing?"

The hedgehog got up and dusted himself off. "I think I'm running up buildings. Is that alright, Ms. Hammerhead?" Amy was really mad now, and attempted to make his head go splat, but he was too fast.

Marine and the armadillo were in combat, but Marine wasn't sure she actually stood a chance.

"Give it up girlie. I'm faster and stronger than you." Marine tried to keep up, but wasn't doing a really good job.

"Why did I think I could do this."

Cheese was watching the fighting. He was about to help Marine when he saw a bee flying over. He thought maybe the bee was with the intruders and chased after it.

Song: Egg Dealer

Shadow ran in the direction of Jasmine's house to make sure she was safe. And he saw the cloaked mobian parting ways with two other cloaked mobians. He was about to run, but Shadow stepped in front of him.

"You!"

Shadow got ready to fight. "I tire of chasing you around. I will kill you now. Maybe you and Satan can be friends."

The mobian growled. "You'll be the one saying hi to Satan, vampire."

Shadow ran up to the cloaked mobian and punched him in the gut, followed by kicking him up into the air. The mobian got up and swung his staff at him. Shadow spin dashed up a building and on top of it. The mobian followed and threw his staff at Shadow. He ducked and jumped, anticipating the staff coming back.

"You won't get me with the same trick you did last time." Shadow spin jumped into him. "Just give up." The mobian got up again and materialised a lightning bolt, which he shot at the hedgehog. It was a direct hit.

"Who should give up now?" He followed up the attack with a few punches to the Shadow's gut, and a kick to his head. He was getting up when the mobian swung his staff at his head. Shadow dodged the swing kicked him in the gut.

The mobian got up. "I won't lose." He took out a gem, It was a Chaos Emerald, and used Chaos Control. His speedy figure instantly got behind Shadow and proceeded to beat on him with his staff.

'This idiot has a Chaos Emerald!? Ughh. If only I knew earlier.' Shadow warped away for a second so he'd have time to use his Emerald. "Chaos Control!" Time slowed down around him, but the cloaked mobian appeared to return to normal. Shadow slid into him and kicked him off of the building. He jumped off too.

"Pant… Pant… You can slow down time too?"

Shadow scoffed. "Chaos Control is a basic Chaos Power. Nearly everyone can do it. You're nothing special."

"Alright then. I'll try something else then. Like… Bolt!" The mobian's energy wrapped around Shadow and hurt him.

"AHHHHHHH!" Shadow knelt down to catch his breath.

"Now, It's time to end this." The mobian held his Chaos Emerald up and pointed it at Shadow. Shadow had an attack in mind to counter the mobians. He charged up his energy for it.

"THUNDER SPREE!"

"CHAOS BLAST!"

Amy was still fighting the blue hedgehog. "Why won't you stay still!?" The hedgehog was avoiding her hammer like his life depended on it.

"I kinda don't want to get smooshed, thank you very much!" He spin jumped into her in an attempt to subdue her.

Meanwhile, Rouge and the echidna were in combat as well. "You're really getting on my nerves bat-girl."

"You're the one trespassing! Now leave!" The echidna noticed something.

"You're completely different from before. You're not flirting. I'd say it's an improvement, but you nearly took my head off with that last kick."

"You are in my town. I'll kick you wherever I want!"

The armadillo still had Marine outmatched, but their fight was interrupted by an explosion.

"What the hell!?"

The mobian's attack missed Shadow completely, and he was engulfed in the red energy Shadow was emitting.

Shadow looked at the mobian as he got up, and noticed his staff broken beside him.

"My staff." Shadow heard him say. And he was repeating it, as if he were in a trance. "My staff."

Shadow walked towards him, ready for another fight. A reddish violet aura surrounded him. "MY STAFF!" The mobian got up and rushed at Shadow. He was caught off guard by this shift in attitude. The mobian usually fights Shadow like he's afraid to lose. Now it's like he's got nothing to lose, and he's much more serious about breaking every bone in Shadow's body.

'Damnit. He's using the dark energy of the emerald. As long as he keeps attacking me, I won't be able to use Chaos Boost like he is, and I won't stand a chance.' Shadow fell unconscious.
