Chapter 6- Discoveries

Shadow

It was the next day. Shadow was walking to the park. For the first time in a while, he was excited. I just hope they aren’t late! It sure has been a long time, but it will be good to see my close friends once again! He went and sat on a bench and prepared to wait, but was in no need to. Two figures were approaching. “Well well. Long time no see Shadow!” said one of them. He smiled. “Indeed. Nice to see you Rouge. You too Omega.”

Knuckles

Knuckles was walking down to meet Sonic, Amy, and Tails with Silver and Blaze when he looked to the side. What! It’s her! And she’s with Shadow! What could she be up to? “YOU!” He yelled, running through the bushes. Rouge turned to see the angry red echidna heading straight for her. She flew into the air for safety, smirk on her face. “Well hello to you too Knuckie!” the white bat called down. The black hedgehog asked curiously, “You know him?” She smiled, “Well, he used to guard this big jewel and I kept trying to steal it from him. He was no fun, so I left him alone.” Shadow shook his head, “Some things never change.” “So Shadow, you know him?” she asked. “You could say that.” he replied looking at the trio knowingly. “Aww, is there some kind of inside joke I’m missing? No fair!” Rouge said pouting. Not changing his gaze, Shadow said, “Nope. Not at all.”

Sonic

Sonic waited impatiently with Tails and Amy. Finally, Knuckles, Silver and Blaze arrived. “What took you so long?! You’re five minutes late!” Sonic said. “Sorry! We had a encounter with Shadow, so we-” Knuckles began explaining. “You mean the black hedgehog from school?” Sonic asked curiously. “Yeah. He was with someone I knew.” Knuckles replied. Sonic gave him a curious look but said no more. Suddenly, a robot rushed out of the bushes, caged Tails, and proceeded to fly away. On the back of all their eyelids, they all saw a picture of Tails flashed. While shocked, Sonic still reacted by jumping up and tagging the cage. It clicked open and Tails flew out. Knuckles, Blaze, Silver, and Amy stood there stunned. Great, now I’ll have to explain… “OH SONIC!” Amy said happily jumping to hug Sonic, “Why didn’t you tell me you were part of the Curse! Then I could have told you-” “What?! How do you know about it?” Sonic asked surprised. “Oh Sonic. Knuckles, Blaze, Silver, and I are ALL part of it.” she told him quietly. “Well well well. Look what we have here.” said a familiar but unexpected voice. Sonic turned around and said, “Shadow?!”

Shadow

Finally. I know all of my Curse mates. And now, I have to test and see if they can tell who I am. “Hello Sonic. Tails. Amy. Knuckles. Silver. Blaze.” He felt a little more confident with Rouge and Omega by his side. “Shadow! Why are you here?” Amy asked. “Didn’t you listen to your friend? I saw him and knowing what you’re involved in, we followed you. And look what I found! Six Curse members of seven!” Shadow explained smugly. “Why are you working so hard to find out?” Silver asked angrily. “You want ME to tell you? Uh, I don’t think so.” Shadow replied. Tensions were high. A fight will be inevitable… Okay, this will be fun! Right before anyone struck out, swarms of robots surrounded them. There’s no way we’ll be able to fight our way out! Looks like I’m stuck using my powers to get us out of here… but I didn’t want to have to show them! I have no choice but to…
