This is so relaxing.

"Yeah..." Tails said with a relaxed smile.

Don't you feel like we were supposed to do something else other than relax?

Tails sat there for a moment then shrugged. "Nope," He replied.

Yeah, this is where we're meant to be.

Several minutes later...

Shadow and Knuckles returned the with the chaos emerald. When they got there, Blaze was holding Sonic's hand. "You won't be holding his hand for long, Blaze," Knuckles told her with a frown on his face. Blaze jumped and looked at them.

"You have returned...how did you get pass all of those traps?! That was impossible, I can't believe it!" She exclaimed amazed.

"Well, believe it because we're here," Shadow told her. Blaze frowned.

"So, what are you gonna do, Shadow?" Knuckles asked. Shadow looked at the chaos emerald in his hand.

"I'm chaos controlling into The Zooma Trance," Shadow replied with a whole lot of confidence in his voice.

"Why are you even doing this Shadow? I thought you didn't like Sonic and Tails," Knuckles said. Shadow looked at him.

"I'm just doing it because no one else is," Shadow answered coldly. Knuckles didn't believe that but didn't say anything about it. Shadow held up the chaos emerald.

"Fool!" Blaze said. "You are not going to be able to come back!" Blaze laughed.

"I promise you, I will return. With Sonic and Tails," Shadow told her. "Chaos control!" Shadow exclaimed then fell to the floor, not moving.

"Shadow chaos controlled his soul into The Zooma Trance..." Knuckles said quietly, as he stared at Shadow's body.

In The Zooma Trance...

Shadow appeared in The Zooma Trance. He looked around and frowned. Everything looked so peaceful and strange. Shadow began walking. Suddenly, he heard Sonic and Tails talking.

Yo Tails, I feel so peaceful.

"You keep saying that," Tails told him peacefully.

I know...isn't it wonderful?

"Yup, you said it pal," Tails answered happily. Shadow walked over to them.

"What are you two doing?" He asked. Tails and Sonic looked at Shadow with happy looks on their faces. Shadow couldn't stand looking at their happy faces.

Oh, hi Shadow. Come on and relax with us, it's such a peaceful day today.

"Yeah Shadow, come relax with us," Tails told Shadow, as he stretched out his arms.

"SHUT UP AND GET UP, WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE!!!" Shadow shouted at them, making Sonic and Tails lose their happy faces.

"Why...why did you yell at us?" Sonic asked nervously.

"BECAUSE WE'RE GETTING OUT OF HERE, NOW!!!" Shadow shouted angrily with fire in his eyes.

"Oh...oh yeah! Now I remember!" Tails turned to Sonic. "Sonic we need to get out of The Zooma Trance," Tails told him. Sonic thought for a long moment then nodded.

"Yes, of course!" He said.

"Now that you guys are back to reality we need find a way out," Shadow said with his arms folded.

"You've changed Shadow, what happened?" Sonic asked.

"There's no time to discuss this, we need to find a way out, dummy," Shadow replied.

"Why didn't you bring a chaos emerald with you?" Tails asked.

"This is The Zooma Trance, remember? I can't bring a chaos emerald in here," Shadow answered, looking annoyed.

"Oh...oh yeah. Sorry about that," Tails said then looked at Sonic. "Well we can always try sleep paralysis," Tails said with a smile. Sonic shook his head.

"Nope, no, never! I'm not doing that, nada!" Sonic exclaimed.

"SHUT UP!!!" Shadow yelled at them. "Follow me!" Shadow starts walking. Tails and Sonic followed silently. Shadow kept walking until he found the cave he and Knuckles went in before. He stopped and stared at the cave. It looked very different. It was all glowing yellow. "This is...different," Shadow mumbled.

"You've been here before, haven't you?" Tails asked. Shadow nodded.

"Yes but it looked different," Shadow answered.

"What was in the cave?" Sonic asked. Shadow explained everything that happened in the cave. Sonic looked very amazed. "You...you defeated Perfect Chaos and Knuckles was singing?!" Sonic asked. Shadow nodded.

"Exactly," He said.

"How is that possible? There were three doors?" Tails asked. Shadow nodded looking extremely annoyed.

"Yes, now let's go," He said, as he walked into the cave. Tails and Sonic followed.

A couple of minutes later...

They made it to five doors. "Oh great, now there's five doors," Shadow sighed in anger.

"Hey, cheer up. We'll get through this," Sonic walked over to the last door on the left. "Let's take this one first,"

"Yes, we should start with that one," Tails walked over to the door where Sonic was. Shadow followed.

"Well...let's see what's behind this door..." Sonic opened the door and the three walked in.

Please review, the next chapter will be up soon.
