Nebula couldn't believe this. She looked into the alien hedgehog's ruby red eyes that he was telling the truth and how sorry he was for being a jerk to her. She hugged him and had tears in her eyes which are not sadness, they were tears of joy.
"So you forgive me now Nebula?" Shadow asked her.
"Yes Shadow. I forgive you. But was it Eclipse who sent the monsters to kill me?" Nebula was curious.
"Yes. I can't believe my brother would do that. But we gotta keep an eye out. He's probably in outer-space right now" Shadow said.
"Yes. Let's get back to Hex's house" Nebula said.
"Also, my father wanted the chaos emeralds to become invincible and destroy Earth I bet. We better tell the others. Don't worry, I already forgave them too" Shadow said.
"So that's why he sent you? To destroy this planet?" Nebula wondered.
"That wasn't what I planned to do. My father gave me a mission to find the chaos emeralds but he didn't tell me to destroy the Earth" Shadow said.
"Alright this is serious. Let's go!" Nebula pulled Shadow by his arm and ran to Hex's house.

In space, Eclipse has seen everything through his spaceship's screen.
"I had a feeling you have turned against the black arms. Consider our family tree broken" Eclipse said.
He goes for his next Alien monster, a Scorpion/Spider like monster that both spin web and use poison.
"You'll be the next one to kill her. Your poison can kill a person in just an hour, and they don't know a cure" Eclipse said, "And yes Latro, kill Shadow's friends too" he said.

Back on Earth, Shadow was glad that his earthling friends are not mad at him anymore.
"Glad the whole thing of being mean is over Shadow" Hex said.
"Yeah. I'm so confused who to trust now but now my trust is to you all" Shadow said.
"Here's a way to trust who. Trust doesn't come from you head, it comes from your heart" Hex said.
"Okay. Well we'll seek for the chaos emerald later" Shadow said.
"Yup. We need to come over this day event" Nebula said.
"Sure. The guestrooms are over there" Hex showed them the guestrooms.
"Okay. I guess we go sightseeing here too Hex. And uh is that yours?" Silver sees a pet cobra.
"Uhh….is that cobra your pet? No offense but don't you think it's dangerous?" Blaze asked.
"No he's totally mellow. And my Anubis servants will help you with anything you like, come here now" Hex snaps her fingers, making four servants of hers appear.
"Wow, Anubis statues?" Blaze said.
"Yep. Tell them what you want" Hex said.
Blaze then clears her throat and says to them "May I have a foot-massage with fruits?"
"With pleasure. Follow us" one of the Anubis statues said, leading her to the couch where they remove her shoes.
"Wow. Is Egypt a place of royalties?" Shadow asked.
"In ancient times they were" Hex said.
"Okay. My so called traitor to father is emperor of Planet Doom" Shadow said.
"Cool. But let's forget him and think of something else" Hex said.
"No, he's gonna use the chaos emeralds to kill us all!" Shadow said.
"Oh, my Ra!" Hex gasped.
"I'm not kidding. But I don't know when he's gonna do that. Eclipse might try getting the Emeralds before us" Shadow said.
"We gotta get to the Sphinx right now. But we can't just break in there. There are agents around here and we don't speak Arabic" Nebula said.
"I can speak Arabic" Hex said smiling.
"Alright. But Nebula, stay were you are safe from more monsters" Shadow said to Nebula.
"No, I'm coming with you guys. If those alien monsters are after me, I can't let it chase me in Cairo to watch the people get hurt. And I'm not gonna be scared again" Nebula said.
"Fine let's go my girl" Shadow said. He, Hex and Nebula heads outside and goes to the Sphinx during the night. The rest of the gang stayed.

Hex and Nebula were at the clothing store to buy the black niqab veil face to protect their face from the sand blowing in the faces. Shadow was confused at this but when he looks at the people wearing veil, turbans, or normal American clothing, it was different.
"Better get one too, Shadow" Hex hands him a veil too with a turban.
"Um, what's this for? And why are the people wearing them?" Shadow asked.
"For safety from sandstorms or sun heat to prevent headache" Hex said.
"Oh. Right. Well let's go for the Sphinx after you paid for the veils and turban" Shadow said.
"Yup, but it has been rules in ladies covering their faces in most areas due to the religion Islam" Nebula said. They later go to pay for their veils and Shadow's turban.
"I love fashion in Egypt. Now come on lovebirds. Put them on so we can go get the camels to help us get to the Sphinx" Hex said.
"Okay then. But I see you got cars in Cairo" Shadow said.
"Yeah, but I'm more used to camels and they can take the sand in the desert" Hex giggled.
"Okay, let's go" Shadow jumps on his camel after putting on his veil and turban. Nebula and Hex got theirs on too and they got on their camels, heading toward the Sphinx.
"Wow, I've never seen camels before. But wouldn't they get tired in the heat? Or end up getting thirsty for water?" Shadow asked.
"They got fat in their humps and they can survive without water for weeks" Hex said.
"Cool. I guess I could get my own" Shadow joked.
Their camels made very loud grunt noises that they do all the time in the desert.
"There it is. The Sphinx!" Hex points at the Sphinx.
"Wow. No nose and no beard. I wonder how long it's gonna live over the years" Nebula said.
"How old is it?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know. Over 5,000 years old I guess" Nebula said.
"According to this, we must dig under the Sphinx, but we need to get past the tourists and the guards" Hex said, pointing at some tourists going to the Sphinx either to take pictures, videos or selfies. Other camels were there as well and the guards were at the Sphinx and the pyramids.
"Damn, we got to distract them somehow" Shadow said.
"Hex, do you have something to get pass them?" Nebula asked.
"Watch me" Hex smirked. She sneaks behind some guards and hides behind a sand pile; she then made some hissing sounds like a real snake.
"Hey? It's a snake somewhere here? Better get it away or anyone gets hurt!" One of the guards said.
"Yeah, it must have come that way" they go away to find the one snake that hissed, but they don't know it's Hex.
Nebula and Shadow don't know what the guards are saying in Arabic but they didn't care.
"The deed is done. Now let's get under the Sphinx, there's no entrance" Hex said.
"But it may be a secret lid under it" Nebula said.
"Perhaps there's a…-AAAAHHH!" Shadow fell in the trapdoor and so did the girls too.
The lid closes again and got filled over with sand.
"Great, but I might use my strength to get us out" Shadow said.
"Yes, but the chaos emerald, the yellow one must be in here somewhere" Nebula said and turns on her flashlight.
"Man, I hope there's no such thing as an undead walking mummy" Hex shivers.
"I don't think there are mummies under the Sphinx. But at least I hope there's no scorpions here" Nebula said. They go down the stairs to find many ways and they were unsure what to take.
Nebula looks down and saw a metal scrapped sign written in Arabic writings, "What does this say, Hex?" she hands the sign to her.
"Danger. Keep Out" Hex translated.
"This does not sound good. We better find out which way the chaos emerald is" Shadow said.
