CHAPTER 14

Tikal looked back at Nails and the group of detectives that stared each other down. Judging by the way they looked at each other, she had a feeling that they had already met. "…You know each other?" Suddenly, her body was practically dragged away from Nails by Tonya. "Hey! What's going on?"

"Get away from her, Tikal!" Tonya held the confused echidna close to her, "She's dangerous!"

"Wha? No! She's not…" Before she could start explaining, she saw Espio reaching out to her.

Espio placed his hand under her chin and made her look at him. "Holy shit! She charmed her with her black magic!"

Tikal jerked Espio's hand away from her, "What? What on Mobius are you talking about?"

"Hold on! Just let me explain…" When Nails tried to get close to Tikal, Rouge had stood in front of her.

Rouge gave Nails a hateful look. "You stay the hell away from her!"

Nails stopped in her tracks and formed a smirk towards the white bat. "Baby sister, it's so good to see you again."

Tikal's mouth practically dropped to the floor as she looked back and forth at Rouge and Nails. "…You two…"

"I didn't know you were good friends with my little sister." Nails spoke while she never took her eyes away from Rouge.

"Oh you're a whole year older than me! Big freakin' whoop!"

Shadow pulled Rouge away from Nails and decided to handle the situation. He stood in front of her while giving her a cold glare. "What are you doing here? How did you get out of prison?"

Nails placed her hands on her hips, "I got released early for good behavior." Her eyes widened when she saw him take out a handgun that he had in the holster around his leg.

"That's the biggest load of bull I've ever heard!"

Tikal gasped in horror at the sight of Shadow pointing the gun at Nails. "Shadow, no!"

Despite Tikal's pleas, he didn't move his finger off the trigger. "You better start making some fucking sense before I blow your brains all over that wall!"

Nails sighed heavily in frustration, "I'm trying to tell you! I got out early after some day to day counseling I took back at the prison. Once I got out, I decided to change my life around and stop using black magic. Now I only want to use magic to help people with their problems."

Shadow arched an eyebrow, "Oh really? You? Giving up black magic and making men your slaves?"

"Oh absolutely! I discovered that I was obsessed with dark power. It drove me mad. I had to stop."

Rouge refused to believe Nails' story. "Please! Let me guess you gave up your helpless obsession with Shadow too?"

She nodded repeatedly, "Actually yes."

Espio shook his head, "I don't believe her."

Shadow had to agree with him, "Me neither. What are you supposed to be now exactly?"

"Gay."

Just hearing her answer made Shadow drop his gun to the floor. "…What?"

"It's true! My obsession with men only increased my instability with black magic. Once I learned that dick was evil, I converted over to becoming lesbian."

Shadow was lost for words. He placed a hand on his forehead and turned away from her. "I need to sit the fuck down."

Espio refused to believe that Nails had turned lesbian. "No! No! No!" He confronted the black bat. "You took so much dick, you were practically swimming in it and now you're trying to tell us you're gay?"

She made a nod, "Yup!"

Espio turned to the rest of the stunned detectives. "Does nothing make sense anymore?" He pointed at Shadow who was sitting in a desk chair behind a huge desk. "You wanted his dick! You wanted to plow him backwards and forwards!"

Shadow placed his hand over his mouth in disgust as he remembered his past encounters with Nails. "Dear God, stop. I'm getting nauseas over here."

Nails carelessly shrugged her shoulders, "Sorry but, I'm just not attracted to Shadow anymore or any guy for that matter. I made a vow to myself. No more dick for me."

After hearing Nails say that she had changed, he turned away from her in disbelief as well. "This whole world has gone to Hell."

Tikal was in shock as well. She had no idea that Nails was attracted to women. She heard her talk so much about her ex boyfriends, she thought she clearly like men. Now that she had thought about it, there were little things that Nails had said while they had been hanging out for the past few days together. She even began to think that she had a secret attraction towards her.

Rouge crossed her arms and confronted her sister once again. "Okay Nails, we'll give you the benefit of a doubt for now, but if we catch you doing some shady shit, I'll make sure my fiancé barbeques your ass."

Nails' ears perked up when she heard Rouge's threat. "…Fiancé?" She looked at Shadow and back at Rouge. "You two…are getting married?"

Rouge made a small nod until she was pulled into a sudden hug by her sister.

"Oh my God! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" She pulled away from her excitedly, "My baby sister's getting married! I always knew you two would end up together! Oh I can't believe it! I can't wait! When's the wedding?"

Rouge's eyes widened in surprise at how well Nails was taking the news of her and Shadow's engagement. She appeared to not be upset at all over the news. Just witnessing the way she reacted, she was beginning to think that Nails really had changed.

Later on that evening at Razi's house, he and the rest of the group were going over their plans for that night in the basement.

Nack held up a piece of paper that showed a picture of a fairly big diamond in front of Damon. "Now are you sure? This diamond is supposed to make us unstoppable?"

Damon made an uneasy look, "Hold up I never said all that. It's an ancient myth claiming that any user who possess the diamond will give them God like strength."

Zena shrugged her shoulders, "Who cares about some stupid ancient myth anyway? If it doesn't work, we can still get rich with it."

"It's true", Maxcell agreed.

Nack dropped the paper to the floor and crossed his arms. "Whatever, we're still doing this tonight."

"Uh I don't know, Nack", Maxcell spoke with an uneasy expression. "This isn't some typical convenient store or a bank. We're hitting up that fancy museum that's probably swarming with security guards."

"Stop worrying. We'll take them out easily", Nack acted like he wasn't concerned with the heavy security at the museum.

"But what if we run into an ass ton of cops or…worse?" Zena had a feeling at the pit of her stomach that they would run into the Chaotix.

Damon formed an evil smirk and looked over to Razi who was sitting at a small desk across from him. "I'm sure that won't be a problem."

Razi had a book laying open on the desk and he had held a strange flute in his hands.

"Do your thing, Razi."

The beaver made a nod and looked down at one of the pages of the book as he began to play the flute.

Everyone watched as a black portal had opened up in the middle of the floor. In a matter of seconds, a hideous tall gray monster had emerged through the portal. The portal faded once the creature stood before the group. With their mouths hung open, they all stared at the creature.

The demon was tall and gray. Its eyes were a dark blue color, it had sharp fangs and claws, and multiple spikes were upon its shoulders.

Everyone remained silent until the creature surprisingly spoke out to them.

"Who summoned me?"

Razi's heart skipped a beat when everyone said nothing and pointed their fingers at him.

The demon turned to him while him while heaving heavily, "You dare call upon me?"

Razi tried not to let the demon intimidate him. He had summoned him so he acted like he was his all powerful master. "That's right", he said in a shaky voice. "I summoned you here to bid for me. You must obey me."

"…Then what is your request?"

He was filled with a strong relief that the demon was indeed cooperating with him. A strike of dominance had fueled him for the first time ever.

In The Next Chapter…

Ker: The Villains are back?

Shadow: It seems that way.

Ker: So about Charmy…

Shadow:…What about him?

Ker: You mean…you haven't noticed?

Nack: Well, well if it isn't my least favorite person in the world!
