New chapter! Many people's guesses were close, but none were exact. Ok, one was close. Only one.

Everyone looked over at Tails, who was studying the area, the food on the floor, the table flipped over. "What happened here?" He asked, though nobody payed any attention.

"Something's wrong with him." Crystal said to the others.

"What was your first clue?" Ashley asked, sarcastically. Crystal shot her a death glare.

"Where do you think he went?" Marina asked. I thought about it, and thought about it. There was only one place I could think that he could be.

"Let's try his room." I said. We ran over to the elevator, and the doors opened with nobody inside. We all piled in, the doors closed, and started playing Justin Bieber.

"NOOOO!" Charge shouted, falling to his knees, covering his ears. Everyone else just seemed to ignore it. Jojo, however, was in the back, chilling, enjoying the music. "HOW CAN YOU LISTEN TO THIS GARBAGE?" Charge shouted, but Jojo just ignored him.

As the doors opened up, they ran across the hall, through a large open room filled with people, and to Flash's room. Crystal pounded her hand on the door.

"Flash! Flash, It's me! Open up!" She shouted. Her only response was silence. She pounded harder. "FLASH! OPEN UP!" Still nothing. Finally, she got frustrated. She took a few steps back, and shot beams of ice out of her hands, freezing the door. She then punched the door, and the door shattered. Everyone looked at her in disbelief, except Marina. "Don't mess with Cryokinetics!" Crystal said, giving Marina a high five. They walked into the den of his room, but nobody was there. "Check the rooms!" Crystal shouted, as everyone scattered into different rooms.

Crystal ran into his bedroom, but no sign of Flash. Yet, there was the typewriter and the stack of hundreds if not thousands of papers Flash had written on. She walked over to it, and looked at the first page. It read:

All work and no play makes Flash a dull boy.

Makes Flash a dull boy.

'What? What does this mean?' Crystal thought to herself as she flipped to the next page. It was just the same, the sentence "All work and no play makes Flash a dull boy" Typed over and over again in different patterns. Crystal flipped to the next one. The same. Next, The same. Next, the same. Crystal started flipping through the pages fast, getting more nervous by the minute. 'WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?' She shouted in her head. She finally stopped about a quarter through the stack, hearing loud screams coming from outside. Crystal ran into the main room with the others. "What was that?" Crystal asked.

The screams continued. "It's coming from out there!" Danny shouted, as everyone made their way out into the large open room, but all eyes were wide at what they saw. Bodies. Dead bodies, limbs missing, blood all over the ground.

"Woah... What happened here?" Sonic asked. Nobody answered, they were too bewildered by the scene before them.

"Who would do this?" Blaze asked. Just then, Rouge's bat ears picked up a sound.

"Follow me!" She shouted, as she ran out of the room, down the staircase, and into the lobby. Everyone else started hearing it too. It sounded like... music?

"Where is it coming from?" Zero asked. Rouge stopped and listened some more.

"It's coming from the basement." Rouge said, pointing towards the staircase to the basement.

Everyone made their way down to the basement. The lights were all turned on, but they were rather faint, weak lights. The others could see, but it was eerie. Mina grabbed onto Zero, Zero trying to comfort her as they continued to walk. Now the sound was very audible. It sounded like a dark, distorted guitar riff, with drums pounding behind it. Then I heard the vocals come in.

You my friend,

You're a lot like them,

But I caught your lie,

and you know I did!

We made our way through the halls in the basement until we came to large, steel doors.

Now I'm lost in you,

Like I always do,

And I'll die to win,

Cause I'm born to lose.

We all pushed open the steel doors, as an ebony cat, shivering in the corner of the room, holding the ring in his hand tightly looked up.

"Flash?" Crystal asked, coming a bit closer.

"STAY BACK!" Flash shouted, holding up a large machete, coated in blood. Now where did he get that?

"Flash, it's us. It's okay." Crystal said, trying to calm him down. But he only held on tighter to the machete, pointing it towards them, as he got up, shaking.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" Flash shouted. Then the voices started to speak to him again. "I told you they would try to take it. There is only one way to keep it. Kill them... KILL THEM!" It shouted, Flash coming closer to them with the machete in his hands. Crystal, at first thought he was calmed down, but she knew she was wrong when she saw the dark smile on his face. Everyone started to back away, and then Flash lunged at them, swinging the machete with all his strength. Flash missed, and it got stuck in the wall. (A/N Fail.) Everyone used this as a chance to get away.

"THERE'S NOWHERE TO RUN! SOON, I'LL BE SOAKING THE BLADE IN YOUR BLOOD!" Flash shouted, laughing, as he ripped the machete out of the wall, taking a large chunk with it. Flash started to follow the group, singing where his music had left off.

Firefly!
Could you shine your light?
Now I know your ways,

Cause they're just like mine!

Now I'm justified,

As I fall in line!
And it's hard to try,

when your open wide!

As the group continued to run, Lisa felt a strange presence. A familiar one. A dark one...

Ok, there you go. So, guess what the dark presence was. But for those of you I have told, don't say anything. Later!
