Ark Fox Chapter 10

Thanks to prowerboy, TailsLovesCosmo and Sierra Zanimalini14 for reviewing...

Three things before we start.

1) I'm not sure exactly what year it is on Mobius, but just guess that it is 80 or 90 years before what you read.
2) You know those two funny reoccurring cops from Sonic X, the laid back ginger and the fat one with the epic stache who was always eating burgers or doughnuts... well I'm not sure if they had names but I'm calling the moustache dude John, and the ginger one Ron. I would call them by their real names, but couldn't find them anywhere.
3) It took Chris 6 mobian months to get to Mobius, I'm guessing it took something like 2 months for the Meterex thing to end, and in my fic it's 8 months after that.
So with the whole 12/1 Earth Mobius time conversion it's been 16 years Since Sonic and that have been to Earth.

Don't own any characters, if I did, those cops would be called Ron and John.

Something was wrong with this place...

Shadow was standing in the middle of a dark and gloomy cemetery, it was night time, and every star could be seen in the sky, though he could not see more then 30 metres away on either side of him. The only source of light apart from the moon above was a small candle, lighting up a grave stone about 10 metres to Shadow's left, a hooded figure at the foot of the grave, from the sounds of her crying, she was an old lady.

"Tails must have screwed up his invention!" he muttered.

Glancing around, Shadow could tell this wasn't an ordinary place, it just felt odd.

Shadow watched as the hooded figure got up and started moving towards him. As she walked past she noticed him, and looked Shadow up and down.

"You!... you said this would happen, I guess I shouldn't be surprised!" she said in a distressed tone, as hard as Shadow tried he couldn't see past the veil of darkness contained within her hood.

"What!" Shadow asked, genuinely surprised, this place just kept getting stranger and stranger.

"He's been waiting down there for you for a long time." She continued, Shadow knew he had heard the voice somewhere before except it was older, but couldn't put his finger on where. "He saved me from death you know... but I'm not supposed to say much, just show you the way."

"The way?" Shadow asked.

"When you get back, don't tell anyone about this... I know you won't as you never did, please just think of what you saw today. When the time comes you will make the right choice." The figure sobbed and started moving away, a shroud of darkness covered her suddenly and she was gone from sight.

Sighing in defeat, Shadow moved closer to the gravestone, the light from the candle showed that it was fairly new. But what he saw on the stone scared Shadow for the first time in his life.

As horrifying as this gravestone was, Shadow couldn't help but draw his gaze his eyes to another right beside it.

Taking the candle from Tails grave, he moved between graves. But the other stone wouldn't light up, no light could be placed on the stone it stayed as black as if there was nothing there.

The graveyard faded from Shadow's eyes and he was on Earth, beside Tails and Sonic who were just starting an argument.

"So Tails?"
"Yeah Sonic?"
"What was that you were saying before we left home?"
"Ummm don't know what you're talking about..."

"You know the thing about us not being seen by humans or else it'll cause a flash mob or mass panic or G.U.N. to come after us and we don't want that because we probably won't be here that long." Sonic explained.

"I don't remember saying anything like that!" Tails said, rubbing the back of his neck.
"Sure?" Sonic asked
"Yeah."
"Well perhaps you should have listened to whoever did say that..." Sonic said condescendingly, clearly annoyed at the fox.
"What do you mean?"

"You know, when YOU DECIDED TO CHAOS CONTROL US INTO THE DIAMOND STADIUM WHEN THERE'S A GAME ON!" Sonic yelled, as worried security offices began running up to the three, thousands of screaming people were threatening to storm the field.

"Perhaps we should just run outa here?" Tails asked, to the agreement of Sonic and Shadow (Who's fur had somehow managed to turn slightly less dark since he came to Earth.) blue, black and yellow suddenly streaked from the pitch to out the main gates.

Sam speed was doing his normal rounds, commentating on how a boring night it was tonight, he had only pulled one driver up so far, 20 years of him being on the Speed Team and he'd never met anyone who had the skill to race him except Sonic. Sam Speed was without a doubt the fastest thing on wheels.

Though he supposed the boring night was all down to the fact the big game was on tonight, and reminiscing about the past wasn't going to bring Sonic back just to challenge him, even if the roads were empty tonight. "Well if no-one's around, I may as well go a bit crazy!" Sam barked madly, foot to the floor and gears to the max.

If Sam was paying attention however, he would of noticed the radio crackle something about Sonic being seen at Diamond Stadium, A blue hedgehog land on the top of his highly tuned car and Shadow and Tails both come up to the side of him.

Instead he was eating fries at well over 400mph while listening to Ozzy Ozbourne's 'Let me hear you scream' at extreme volumes and complaining to himself about what a boring night it was.

After half a minute of Sam driving along obliviously, Sonic knocked on the windscreen, achieving a very loud response from Sam when he saw the hedgehog poking his tongue out at him.

Without a word, Sonic jumped from the car and over a concrete barrier, joined by Shadow and Tails.

"Huh, eyes must be playing tricks on me!" Sam said as he turned the radio to an easy listening station and threw the fries to the side.

"Hey Ron, you believe this thing about Sonic coming back?" asked a slightly obese officer who obviously spent too much time in the sun, while eating noodles from a generic Chinese noodle box.
"Yeah John, sure hope we see him tonight, too bad we got orders to arrest him though!" Ron replied. Both burst out laughing at this, the duo were currently in a parking lot outside of a dairy.

The three heroes chose this moment to stop by the two.

"hey guys..." Sonic began "...What's going on?"

"Hey Sonic, see I told you he was here Ron..."
"Hey I never said he wasn't John..."

"Arghh guys" Tails complained.

"Yeah foxy?" Ron asked

"What's the story on us?" Tails asked.

"Well you caused quite a stir apparently and hundreds of people are going crazy down at the stadium..." John informed, Sonic shot a nasty glance at Tails "... and we got orders from the president to arrest you guys and bring you in." John finished while slurping his noodles, Tails had a toothy grin plastered on his face.

"So what do guys think we should do" Sonic asked Ron and John.

"I'll say get in the car and see what the president wants, but we're not stupid enough to try chasing you." Ron said while laughing the last bit out. This time it was Shadow who replied, although his voice was shaking it was what he said that confused everyone else.

"Guess the faster we get this hysteria thing sorted the faster we can do what we came here for."
