The Prophecy

"I can see you're wondering where this power came from," Shadow said. The world around them was still frozen in place, most of it with a dark shadow hanging over it. "Well, after I came down to Earth again, I was told of an ancient prophesy, a legacy more like it, of the Seven. It was about seven warriors who were selected to bring balance to the forces of Good and Evil. Their power was given through seven magic objects, weapons mostly, that were enchanted by the powers of the seven magical beasts. Pheonix, Dragon, Cobra, Falcon, Tortioise, Angel, Giant. Those were the creatures. When the chaos became too great in the world, these warriors were chosen to bring back a balance to everything. When balance was reached the weapons disappeared until they were needed once more. That time is now. Sigma coming here has created a massive disturbance in the balance of Light and Dark. I am one of the seven. I am now Shadow of the Black Dragon, Spirit of Death. Unfortunately, it is one of the evil-sided spirits. Because of this, you can never seek me out. Since you are filled with good I would be compelled to destroy you.

"So that's why time has stopped," Sonic said, suddenly realizing. "You aren't really here, you're here telepathically. Only the Dragon is really here."

"Correct, Sonic, well done. I am sure though that you are also one of the seven. Therefore, you must seek out your weapon as well. I'm not totally sure who any of the others are, but I suspect that one of your new friends could be as well. You can tell him later. I do believe, though, that I know the location of your weapon."

"Where, Shadow? This must be the cool thing X talked about."

"What? What are you talking about?"

"Nothing… just finish what you were going to say."

"Right. Anyway, I can feel that your weapon is somewhere in the Green Forest. You have to go there now. If it is your weapon, it will draw you toward it. You shouldn't have much trouble at all." Shadow nodded to him and waved his hand. He abruptly dissappeared and time resumed. Suddenly, every robot in the hangar and outside broke down and the humans fell unconcious. The rest of Sonic's team looked around, baffled as to the sudden lucky break.

"Let's go guys. There'll be more coming at any moment.," Sonic yelled, already heading for the bay doors.

"What about the mission?" X asked, still looking stupefied. "Don't we need that information on G.U.N.?"

"We have more important things to worry about. Just get back to base. I trust you can all make it back by yourselves?"

"Yes, but why not go as a group?" Zero asked.

"Because I have somewhere to be. I shouldn't be long. Knucks, the base is yours for now."

"Alright! I can order those really expensive defensive autotracker guns with your account!" Knuckles said, rubbing his hands together.

"You do and I will bust open your stupid face and sew it back together with your own blood vessels," Sonic retorted. "Just make sure no one breaks in, OK?"

"Yes, boss. Whatever you say," Knuckles sneered.

"Zero, keep an eye on him, got it?"

"Hey, why Zero?" X said, looking surprised.

"Because, Zero is more responsible." Sonic shot a smirk Zero's way.

"Yeah, responsible my processor. Zero can't even keep track of his own purchases, much less Knucles'."

Zero looked at him. "Shut up, shithead. That was just that one time."

X just smiled at Sonic.

"Ok, two."
