Part 15
Just as he was about to call it a night from the events that had happened today, Chaud began to receive an incoming transmission from his Navi ProtoMan through his own person computer terminal at home. "What's wrong, ProtoMan? Why didn't you put in the transmission link towards Lan's PET for when I've sent you to make contact with MegaMan?"
"My apologies, Chaud, but there seems to be someone who's in the middle of something with Lan as well," was what he heard his crimson partner saying to him just as he saw the image of his long time friend over the computer screen. "From what I could see, he seems to be chatting with some kid with reddish orange hair who appears to be about eight or nine years of age. It could be possible that the kid was the one responsible for the transmission block seeing as Lan couldn't be smart enough to come with a complex firewall program like his father could."
"Well, that aside, what should we do now? It's pretty obvious that the guy is hiding something from us and I want to find out what it is," the skunk haired boy said to his digital friend while blocking out the little private joke that ProtoMan made right before getting back to business. "We both know that he and MegaMan wouldn't be the types to harbor a fugitive that could be a threat to the city unless the guy isn't who we thought he would be. It could be very well be connected with that guy that we've caught him with in one of the surveillance videos. Lan obviously doesn't want the two of us involved knowing that we might accuse the guy of the huge magnetic disturbance that is somehow connect to this gem shard that we've found yesterday."
With those words, Chaud began to pull his eyes' attention towards the black metal box that contained the huge green emerald shard that he'd found right before continuing to speak. "This emerald piece isn't like anything that we've ever encountered. The energy that it emitted was so great that it caused nearly all of the machines at the Net Police Headquarters to go berserk for no apparent reason. Not to mention that Lan accidentally slipped for when he called it a Chaos Emerald. That means he seems to know something about that strange gem more than he's letting on."
"So what do you suggest that we do about it, Chaud?" he heard his Navi asking him with a rather confused and yet composed tone within his voice. "It's not like Lan and MegaMan are willing to tell us what has been going on with them recently."
"It looks like that we might have to take a different approach at the matter, ProtoMan," the young prodigy answered to his long time digital friend while at the same time turning his attention towards his computer screen just before he continued speaking. "We don't want to cause a stir that might cause him or MegaMan to panic or become suspicious about what we're doing. Even if it means going against orders of the Net Savors."
A long and calm silence surrounded the huge office that the young Ace Netbattler occupied, he heard a confused and yet calm response from his long haired best friend just as he spoke, "Chaud, are you suggesting that we keep a close eye on Lan in order to see what he has been up to as of late? Both he and MegaMan might get suspicious and would continue to evade the information regarding the terrorist attacks."
"Then we'll have to just have Dark Miyabi to keep an eye on Lan so that we could find out what he's been up to," Chaud replied to his best friend while at the same time seeing the time of his office clock. "I'm sure that he might be able to come across something suspicious on Lan's unusual activity. After all, he was able to back us up right on time right where we need him the most in the past. He might be able to pick up a clue about those animal creatures that we saw during the virus attack."
"I agree, but I think that it might be time for you to get some rest, Chaud," was what he heard ProtoMan saying to him while at the same time seeing the dark visored Navi checking his internal system's clock for the current time. "It's just pass 11:00 pm and you would need all that rest for tomorrow's meeting at 10:30 am sharp."
"I intend to do just that, ProtoMan," was what the young boy said to his best friend while at the same time giving out a quiet but soft yawn just as he was finishing typing up the rest of his work for the night. "After all of the paper work that Lan has me doing after the virus outbreak that ended with me doing late night work, I'm really going to need it. That kid has a lot of explaining to do for when I meet up with him at his home later in the afternoon."
"But there's one thing that bothers me about this whole situation, Chaud," he heard his Navi saying to him through his PET while at the same time turning off the main computer terminal and heading out towards the door. "It's about those creatures that you've saw with Lan during our fight with the viruses in the real world. From what I could look at from my point of view, they seemed to be too real to be ordinary kids in costumes playing hero. That's what bothers me. I just hope that they don't turn out to be some alien race that could become a threat of sorts. Not only that, but why do I get the feeling that they are the beginning to some of our troubles?"
While opening both of her eyes towards the shine of light over her lids, Sylphiel began to give off a cute yawn in order to shake off the exhaustion that she was feeling. "Did I have the strangest and most terrifying dream," the young shrine maiden thought to herself while at the same time turning her attention towards the face of the person whose arms she was in. "Miguel seemed so warm and cuddly for when I'm within his arms. I think that all I cause nothing but trouble for him since he started to notice my own night terrors. They seemed to crept up towards my mind for ever time I fall asleep alone."
The young woman felt her entire body shiver with a chilling fear crawling all over as she thought of what she dreamed about. The reaction of her body caused Miguel to give off a little mumble within his sleep and held her within his arms embrace a bit tighter and more protective than he did before. The shrine maiden giggled softly at the reaction that the young man gave off for when he felt that she was about to leave. As much as she would like to stay within the safety of Miguel's arms, Sylphiel needed to get up right now in order to get everyone's breakfast ready to eat. Slowly, she managed to slipped off of the young man's gentle embrace without waking him.
After managing to get up from the bed, the shrine maiden began to look down on her body and blush with embarrassment for when she saw her once new sun dress that she wore from yesterday now ruined. That was when her memories of what happened yesterday suddenly came flowing back into her mind as well as what had happened to her for when everyone used the power of the Chaos Control in order to arrive to where Yai was taken to. "Oh, I remember now. I hit my head on the floor for when I've tripped over my new shoes and lost my balance. The last thing that I remember was Miguel going over to me to see if I was alright. Then I remember seeing..."
Once again, her body began to shiver with cold fear for as she tried her best to forget the dream that she had last night. But what caused her to blush the most is the fact that she managed to remember how Miguel comfort her by pulling her into his arms while at the same time trying to calm her by stroking her back. This thought cause Sylphiel to blush almost to the color of a tomato. As she looked all over the room in order to search for some spare clothes to wear, the shrine maiden began to panic for when she saw that her new bag purchased by the young girl Yai was nowhere to be found. If it were filled with only the new clothes along her shrine maiden attire, the young female wouldn't be worried at all. But when the bag contains one of the most powerful forces that no other living creature should get his or her hands on, this would cause the young woman to panic with fear if her own regained self control hadn't gotten the better of her.
Just as she was about to think about exiting the room in order to search for the missing item, Sylphiel suddenly heard a knock on her own bedroom door, causing her to jump with surprise. While recovering from the shock from the sound, the young woman began to regain most of her composure and grabbed the handle of the door just as soon as she reached it. When she turned the knob of the door and pulled it open, the shrine maiden was greeted by the face of a young woman in a blue and white maid's outfit. When she came to realize that the older woman was a part of the huge group of maids that accompanied Yai within the huge flying vessel yesterday, Sylphiel began to say to her with both a flustered tone of voice, "Oh! I'm sorry that I might look a bit...improper this morning, but I can't seem to find the clothes that Miss Ayano has given to me while on one of her..."
Right before she could finish the rest of her sentence, the young shrine maiden began to see the young woman in front of her held out what appears to be a neatly folded pile of dresses. Not only did she see both her shrine maiden's garments and her newly selected attire, but she also noticed the same bag that she once held is also slung over the maid's arm in order to keep her hold on the fresh laundry. Before she could ask what was the meaning of it all, Sylphiel heard the woman saying to her with a cheerful smile on her face just as she felt her clothing being carefully dumped into her arms, "Miss Yai told me to have your clothes all washed and pressed for while you were having your rest, Miss Sylphiel. She also told us all about you and your strange friends as well as your situation. I would just like to say that I'm terribly sorry for our outburst. It was definitely uncalled for."
The words that the shrine maiden heard from the female servant's mouth was enough to cause her to nearly fall over with both shock and confusion before she noticed the weight of her clothing and bag being on her arms, preventing her from doing so. "Uh, well, thank you, miss. I think," was what the young dark haired woman said to the maid while at the same time managing a friendly smile towards her in gratitude right before a thought struck her mind. "Excuse me, but what happened to my friends the Chaotix and what are they doing right now? And did you happen to see one of them that appeared to be black and red all over his body with spikes on his who's with a young woman with blond hair wearing a rather strange magician's outfit?"
"Oh, they're out in the kitchen having breakfast at this very moment, Miss Sylphiel," she heard the older woman saying to her while at the same time noticing her looking at her rather dirty and tattered looking sun dress that she slept in throughout the night. "If you want, I would be more than happy to have one of the other maids repair and clean off the dress that you're wearing right now so it would be as good as new. I would be waiting outside near the door until you're finish changing so that I could get it done right away."
Sylphiel noted the polite manner in the woman's tone as well as the friendly smile that told her that her visitor was very well trained in greeting the guests that Yai had within her estates. But she force that thought aside and bowed her head respectfully to the young woman who brought her clothing with a kind smile right before she gently closed the door. She quietly walked over to an unoccupied chair near the window of her room and placed the neatly folded clothing on it. She selected a beautifully made and sewn dark violet dress that's sleeveless and was made to what feels to be a special type of soft cotton. Right as she went towards a nearby bathroom door, the young woman took one last glance at Miguel's sleeping face, smiling at the peaceful and content expression that he was wearing.
"Miguel is certainly unlike some of the men that I've ever come across throughout my own world," Sylphiel thought to herself while at the same time carefully closing the bathroom door shut behind her and began to undress herself through the back zipper of it. "Perhaps maybe he could become the type of man that I would want to stay with, to kiss, and to hold onto..." that was all that the shrine maiden thought to herself just as she realized what went through her mind and mentally chided herself for thinking that way. "What am I thinking?! I know that Miguel is an attractive young man, but I'm sure that he doesn't feel the same way about me. I wonder how the Chaotix as well as Shadow and his new female friend would think about the new dress that I'm going to wear? I just hope that none of them get any strange or funny ideas for today that could put us in trouble."
Just as both he and Mana began to wake up from their slumber, Shadow gave out a huge yawn of air just as he opened both of his crimson eyes in order to see the room filled with the morning sun. That was when he heard his humanoid girlfriend mumble something within her slumber for as he felt her arms tighten their hold around his entire body clearly not wanting to let go. The black hedgehog chuckled a bit at the way that the female magician would act like a sleeping baby, not wanting to wake up into the world of light. He felt her stroking her cheek against the top of his head's fur as if it were like a that of a teddy bear. Shadow gave out a little smile on his face for when he felt that reaction.
"As much as I would like to stay this way a bit more, I'm afraid that it's time for both Mana and I to get up," the Ultimate Life Form thought to himself while at the same time trying his best to free himself from within the young female's arms just as he spoke up to her softly. "Mana, it's time for the two of us to get up. We have another day ahead of us for we still have that last remaining remnant of the Chaos Emerald."
With those words spoken, the black hedgehog heard the young woman beginning to stir within her comfortable state just as she spoke with mumbled annoyance, "Mmmm, can't we just stay here for a few more minutes, Shadow Dear? I really too comfortable to move right now and you're just too warm to let go. I'm sure that those friends of yours could handle the search by themselves."
"As much as I would like to stay like this with you, Mana, but I'm afraid that we have to get up in order to keep Vector from getting too suspicious about what we're doing in the bed that might get us in trouble," Shadow responded to his lover's tired words with a rather playful tone just as he managed to get himself free from within the female's arms, feeling her shiver a bit.
"Aw! But I really don't want to get up, Shadow! You're so mean!" he heard Mana saying to him with a rather hurt but playful tone to assure him that she was only playing around.
"I'm sorry, young lady, but if we're to avoid anymore trouble from either those young humans and the Chaotix, we have to get up," the black hedgehog responded to her with a stern but fake tone just as he turned his attention towards his love's beautiful face and kissed her on the cheek. "Besides, both Miguel and Sylphiel are bound to be awake by this time. Plus, if we don't get there soon, all of the food would be gone."
"I thought that the two of us wouldn't need to eat food in order to be sustained?" he heard the female magician saying to him while at the same time feeling her lips touching the tip of his nose, causing him to blush a bit just as he saw her moving away from the bed. "But I suppose that most habits die hard. I mean, we could taste and enjoy food like everyone else despite the fact that we both don't need it in order to gain energy. Not to mention feel our mouths water for whenever we smell something that feels delicious! Like those cookies that most female wives make for their children as a snack. Mmmm!"
Just as he was about to add in something to the short but interesting conversation, Shadow began to notice a thick and noticeable odor in the air. Something that smells cooked and fresh from a stove. Something that he thought that he would smell coming from a kitchen for whenever Sylphiel cooked. "Heh! Looks to me that I was right. Everybody seems to be awake and having breakfast without us," the Ultimate Life Form said to the young female spell caster while at the same time managing to stretch his arms and legs in order to get himself to wake up properly.
"You could say that again, Shadow darling," he heard Mana saying while at the same time turning to see her picking up her strangely shaped magician's hat as she carefully place it at the top of her head. "I mean, from what I could gather by looking at him, that Vector friend of yours has a mouth that could finish an entire buffet of food."
The black hedgehog chuckled a bit in amusement for when he heard those words come from the playful female as he walked over to the door and began to open it. When he poke his head out to see what was causing the smell, he was soon taken by surprise for when he was welcomed by the face of what appears to be a young lady in a pink maid's outfit. The loud scream that she let out was so great that it could be heard from anywhere within the tree house. Just as he saw the young girl falling towards the floor and landing on her bottom, Shadow began to say to her in a polite tone of voice, "Easy there young lady. I'm not here to hurt you. I'm a friend of Yai's guests. Please calm down."
As soon as he said those words, he saw the young lady beginning to pick herself off from the floor and then began to speak with a stutter, "Oh, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's very rude of me to yell like that! I know that you're suppose to be Miss Yai's welcomed guests, but the way you look really creeps me out!"
"Hmm. She must be the one little girl that nearly sent all of us to our doom," Shadow thought to himself while letting a small smile escape his lips just as he nearly forgot the name of the person standing in front of him. "Kiyruuin Sakurako, I think that was the name. At least that's what I could remember from all that shouting that big forehead girl gave out."
Right before he could have the chance to say anything more that might help the girl to calm down, he heard Mana saying to him right as he began to fully open the door, "Shadow darling, who is it that you're talking to right now? She seems scared witless from the way that she was yelling."
Just as he was about to answer his girlfriend's question, the Ultimate Life Form began to feel the presence of his love coming from behind him and turned just in time to see her looking at the meek looking young lady that had just barely started to compose herself just as the spell caster asked in a polite tone, "Excuse me, miss, but do you think that you could tell us what happened to the rest of our friends? You know, the ones that look like my boyfriend over here but are from different species?"
When he heard those words coming from the blond young woman, Shadow began to see the young girl beginning to calm herself a bit just as she began to speak with recognition within her voice, "Oh! You must mean those friends of yours that call themselves the Chaotix? At least, that's what I've been told by the one called Vector say that the name of their group is. Right now, they're all having breakfast and three of my other partners are with them at this very moment at the kitchen serving their food."
The Ultimate Life Form began to smile at the way the young girl said those words, imagining the way that Vector along with any one of his friends declare themselves to be the greatest detectives all over Mobius. One of the many things that he now considers to be hilarious just as he was starting to open up more to the group since having met Mana. When blocking those thoughts out for the time being, Shadow began to hear Sakurako saying with a rather curious and confused tone within her voice, "Um, I don't mean to be rude to the two of you, but aren't you both a bit too...different to be considered a couple?"
The moment that he heard those words come out of the young girl's mouth, the black hedgehog began to hear a cute giggle coming from Mana's mouth just as he heard her saying in mock offended, "Why, young lady, I'm shocked. I would like to have you know that this creature is the most wonder and friendliest person that I've grown to know and love since the day we've met. He may look to be scary to you at first, but he's really a nice person once you get to know him better."
As soon as he heard those words coming from the female magician's mouth, Shadow began to hear the young girl saying to the two of them while at the same time looking as though she had suddenly realized something, "Oh, I just remembered! I'm suppose to inform Miss Yai about what Mr. Vector told me! But I'm not suppose to tell anyone else about it! I'm sorry, but I've got to go! Enjoy your stay at Miss Yai's tree house, Mr. Shadow! Miss Mana! And I'm terribly sorry that I've offended your relationship with what I've said! I hope that you both would forgive me!"
As soon as she saw the little girl in the cute pink maid's outfit beginning to run out of the hallway, Mana found herself giggling a fit for as she saw the bewildered expression that Shadow was giving off. Just as she saw the black hedgehog carefully closing the door of their bedroom, the female began to hear her love saying to her with a rather suspicious tone within his voice, "Mana, I don't know about you, but I think that Vector has something up his sleeve. Knowing the guy, I bet that it has something to do with matchmaking a couple of people and I have a pretty good idea with who he's going set up."
"Just who is it that you're speaking of, Shadow?" was what the young female magician said to her boyfriend with a rather confused tone just as she thought about what the Ultimate Life Form talked about.
"Who I'm talking about are both Miguel and Sylphiel, Mana," is what she heard Shadow responding with what appears to sound like a bit of amusement within his voice just before he continued. "Those two have been rather sweet on each other since the day that they both met. They may come from completely different worlds, but that didn't stop the two of them from blushing whenever they're speaking with one another about anything that doesn't concern world domination, universal destruction, or Nightmare Parasite. It seems to me that Vector has it up to here with those two beating around the bush and has finally decided to do something about it. He just better pray that his plans doesn't have the two of us involved or I'd make him regret that he did it in the first place."
Mana gave off another cute girlish giggle for as she heard those words coming from Shadow's mouth. Just as she looked at him straight at the face, the female magician did something that caught the black hedgehog off guard. What she did was that she went jumped towards his direction at a great speed and pulled the Mobian within both of her arms, embracing him into a warm and playful hug. The blonde girl began to hear Shadow give off a soft and friendly chuckle just as she snuggled herself against the soft black fur that he was created with.
"Just what was that for, Mana?" she heard her boyfriend saying with both a playful and confused tone just as she felt the softness of his black and red fur stroking against some of her exposed body.
"Oh, it's for being the overprotective and yet suspicious little cutie that you are, Shadow darling," was what she said to the Ultimate Life Form just as she felt one of his hands stroking one of the locks of her golden mane. "You're so cute for when you do that. Almost like a little black and lonely puppy feeling like he's not wanted by anyone!"
When she said those words out loud, Mana turned her eyes' direction towards the black hedgehog's face and laughed a bit for when she saw the light pink blush appearing on his charcoal exposed cheeks. Just as she was enjoying teasing Shadow, a thought suddenly struck the female magician that she almost would've made her want to slap herself on the forehead for not thinking about it sooner. "Say, Shadow deary," was what the blond female said to him with a playful and mischievous look all over her face, "how about the two of us give them both a surprise? Something that the two of us could really make everyone really jump out of their feet?"
With those words out of her mouth, the female magician saw the pink blush that he had on turning to crimson. She gave out another cute giggle for when she figured out that Shadow must've been embarrassed by the idea that he thought she was planning to do. As she released her hold from around the Ultimate Life Form's body, the young woman stepped back a few feet away from him and began focusing her thoughts on making her magical staff appear right in front of her hands. Just as Mana began to chant out the words to the carefully memorized spell within her mind, she began to hear Shadow saying to her in protest for when he finally understood what she was planning to do, "Mana! You can't be serious! What would everyone say for when...?!"
Just before she could have the chance to let him finish the rest of his sentence, Mana felt all of the magical power within her staff gathering and burst with intense pink light. Before she knew it, both she and Shadow were in their human forms barely even recognizable from their normal forms. The cloths that the once black hedgehog wore were exactly the same ones that he had worn for when both he and Mana toured Dentech City. The now disguised female magician, on the other hand, wore an attire that's completely different from what she wore yesterday.
What the female magician wore is something that a young teen aged girl would wear for when she's going out on a date. She was wearing what appears to be a pink and sparkling beautiful sky blue shirt that seemed to glitter with whatever light source was being emitted. What she also wore is a short but decent looking pink skirt that went to her knees. She had her now brown hair worn in the same hair style as well as the same color. Her eyes stayed as cute and innocent looking as they are when she was in her spell caster's attire.
Just as she saw her boyfriend recovering from the shock of being transformed into a human being again, the Ultimate Life Form began to say to Mana while still feeling a bit shaken from what just happened, "M-Mana! You do realize that the others are probably going to be scared to death for when they see us like this!"
"That's exactly what I'm counting on, Shadow deary!" was what the young woman was now saying just as she went over to the black clad boy of her dreams and wrapped her arms around one of his own, wearing a playful and impish grin on her face. "I can't wait to see the look on all of their faces for when they see us! Come on! We've got to get going!"
Just as she dragged her now tall dark and handsome boyfriend towards the door, Mana thought to herself with a cheeky look on her face just as she opened the door, "I wonder how the rest of the others would take it for when they see us? Tee Hee!"
Just as the four of them started munching on any piece of food that they could find, the Chaotix began to talk amongst themselves with worried and smiling expressions on their faces. Most of the worrying happens to be done by Mighty, Espio, and Charmy while Vector smiled. "Vec, you realize that Shadow would most likely blow us sky high for when he finds out what we're doing," was what the purple chameleon said to his older friend while at the same time trying to calmly eat some sausage along with his eggs.
"Oh relax, Espio. This is one detective that knows exactly what he's doing for when it comes to the game of love," was what the tall green crocodile said to his ninja friend while at the same time receiving a fresh new plate of toast given to him by one of the attractive female maids that are working around the clock in order to prepare their breakfast. "I know a forming couple when I see one, even though that two of the pairs are a bit weird.
"Both Miguel and Sylphiel aren't too hard to figure out considering the fact that they blush whenever they touch one another. Those two kids, Lan and Maylu, seem to have it in for one another like little sweet hearts. The same could be said about their Navis, seeing as that little pinky named Roll gets jealous for when another girl goes for little boy blue. Mana and Shadow are another story."
"As much as it pains me to admit this, Espy, but he's got us there," Mighty said to his purple friend while at the same time politely giving his thanks to another maid who wore her brown hair in a bun. "I mean, this Mana girl that we've seen with Shadow is something else. Not only is she a good looker, but it seems that she has more of a story between both her and Shadow than meets the eye."
"Even I have to admit that Shadow does seem a bit more...loose that he usually is. That's what really creeping me out!" added the normally hyperactive Charmy with a sort of playful tone within his voice before he continued. "From what we could tell since we've known the guy, he seems all business. Now, he just sort of acting like..."
"Like a regular person?" was what the leader of the Chaotix said to the young bee just as the green Mobian finished his sentence. "Well, whatever's gotten into him, I'm sure that it has something to do with that Mana girl that he's been hangin' around with. Judging from the way that she was sort of overly affectionate towards the black dude, I'm sure that she's a good influence."
"Well, that aside, Vector, I think that the four of us should be more worried about Shadow's fierce temper," was what the purple chameleon said to his older friend while at the same time calmly finishing the last of his breakfast. "I mean, in the past, you've saw how violently powerful he could be for when he gets mad. He was able to reduce an entire city block to bits! If he finds out what you and Yai have been talking about, then..."
Just before Espio could finish the rest of his sentence, all of them heard the voice of the black hedgehog saying to them from out of nowhere, "What is it that all of are talking about? Are you all planning something?"
At the sound of hearing the Ultimate Life Form's voice, all of the members of the Chaotix suddenly jumped up from where each of them were sitting and immediately looked for any place that they could find to hide. But it would seem at the time that all of them were thinking the same thought for when the four Mobians hid under the table in fear of the upcoming wrath that Shadow would lay upon them. Just as they thought that they were going to be on the receiving end of the black hedgehog's power and anger, they all heard one of the young female maids asking them with a rather confused tone of voice, "Uh, is something that matter with you boys? You four seemed like you saw a horrifying monster or something. The only thing that I see here is a normal young man despite his bizarre choice clothing along with a pretty young lady."
With those words said by the older human, all four of the Chaotix looking up from the safety of their hiding place in order to see what the young woman was talking about. As the Mobians looked at the direction that she was looking at, they all became shocked when they all met the sight in front of them that made them want to either attack or faint with surprise. What the four Mobians saw was a young human couple looking as though they were getting ready for their first date. One of them appears to be a teen aged young man wearing a huge jacket made of black leather. What made the guy in black more noticeable than his brown-haired female companion, who's wearing a rather adorable pink and blue outfit, is his hair spiky style. It was all in spikes with red streaks mixing in black, just like the way that Shadow's own spikes.
In response to the new visitors arrival in their presence, Vector was the first of the Chaotix to speak a piece of his mind just as he turned at their new visitors, "Wh-Who in the world are you two?! Just how was it that you both were able to get through Yai's advanced security system without being soaked like one of our friends did the other day?!"
As soon as he finished those words from his huge reptile mouth, his only response from the supposed male stranger was a deep but amused chuckle coming from him. The strange thing that got all four Mobians to become frighten at the moment was the fact that soft laughter almost sounded like the one that Shadow rarely gave off for when he found something amusing to him. Not only that, but cute girlish chuckle coming from his young brown haired female companion sounded like the cute magician girl for when she was treating the Ultimate Life Form as if he were her personal teddy bear. The way that the girl was so attached to the young man arm was no different.
After a moment of feeling confused with the response of the unexpected guests, the Chaotix heard one of the maids saying to them while feeling as though nothing has ever occurred, "It seems that Miss Yai has forgotten to inform me about the new arrivals that have just arrived here. I'll go inform her about the news and be back momentarily."
Just as they all see the young maid go off towards the exit of the tree house, the four Mobians turned their full attentions back towards the young human couple for when they've heard the serious and familiar voice coming from the young man saying to them, "Heh! You know, Vector, for someone who's suppose to be Mobius's greatest detective, you sure are slow on the uptake."
As soon as all of them heard the young man's voice, the Chaotix began to jump up with both fright and shock for when they heard his words. That was when all of them finally recognized the voice to be that of one of the most serious people that they've ever met: Shadow the Hedgehog. Just as they all thought that they were probably in some sort crazy dream, the four friends began to hear the voice of the girl clinging to his arm saying to them with a rather familiar girlish giggle, "Heh! Heh! Heh! I think that your four friends are very shocked with our sudden change, Shadow darling. But I suppose that our voices have sort of gave us away. Heh! Heh! Heh!"
When the four of them heard the voice of the young lady respond to her boyfriend, the Mobians once again want to jump from their shoes just as Vector stuttered to the two of them, "What the hell?! Just what is going on here?! You two are now...but then you both are...I mean, how is it possible that you both are...?"
Just before the crocodile could have the chance to figure out what was going on as well as try to understand what to say to the human couple, Sylphiel's voice appeared from out of the hall leading to the bedrooms while asking everyone in a rather confused tone, "What's going on, everyone? Why are all of you staring at that made you look like that you've seen a ghost and who are our two new guests? They seem to be emitting a sort of magic aura that surrounding their bodies."
End of Part 15
A/N: I would like to say that I'm sorry for the long delay in updating this fiction of mine. It's just that it was so hard for me to find inspiration for when new things keep running up to my face like my college work, reading new types of fictions, and coming up with new ideas for new stories. It's a huge project that I've been working that involves having my characters as well as most from Sonic the Hedgehog involving going into an unknown world that no one would be familiar with. But that's all that I'm going to say about it. Right now, thanks to a certain writer, I've got back on my feet and I'm going to finish works like this so that I could hopefully have enough ideas for my project to be up and running. I would like to extend a special thanks to the following people that have been very supportive: Koinekid and the group Generation-A. Thank you for your support and I hope that the help that you both provide continues. But I would like to extend a special thanks to two writers that have reminded me of what I should be really doing rather than ignore them and leave them unfinished: AnimeMasterZero and Hikaru Irving. Thanks to the two of you, I've got the energy that I need to continue no matter how far behind I am. I sometimes forget about important things like that and I hope that the two of you would continue the good work. Everyone rest assure, any new ideas that I would come up with would be put on hold so that I wouldn't forget them for when the time comes. That's right, Maurice A. Nigma is back and is determined to get his works done even if it means reading new fictions on hold! Well, later everyone and I hope to hear helpful feedbacks.
