Sonadow: Poker Face 17
Jules secret
Silver and Sonic started to crush robots they made it to the front door. They opened it and in a flash ran inside, Scourge waited for them in the control room they made it in very quickly quicker than usual. For there surprise there were a few robots inside, "Looks like we have some company" said Scourge, "Let's take them out" said Sonic, Silver manage to destroy most throwing his razor tabs cutting heads as well as Sonic with his steel folding fans, Scourge just enjoy stabbing there system control witch was in the middle and taking there heads out with his arm. "Was that it?" asked Scourge after they finish destroying each robot, "Yeah I think that was most of them" said Silver, "Are there others we should be aware of?" asked Sonic, "Yes but I thought they would come the system was shut down so we have more than enough time to check and use the system to localize the Ice Temple" said Silver he walked over to the main computer when he tried to look for the place he couldn't the computer needed a password. "Tell me you know the password" said Sonic, "Let me think" said Silver he typed different thing but nothing worked, "Okay time for plan B" Silver slammed his Bojutsu against the computer keyboard and manage to hack the computer. "For a realm advance in technollogy, I have to say that I can't believe that actually worked" said Sonic, "Well what can I say sometimes a little hit can fix it all" said Silver. Scourge chuckled a bit, "Okay all we have to search is for the Outworld's gates witch is where the gate keeper is" Silver began to type in some words that let him locate the place in the Outworld map, "How are you sure that it will appear in the map?" asked Scourge, "I'm not, this system hasn't been the same as it was before Mephiles too over" said Silver, "Mephiles took over?" asked Sonic. Silver continue typing on the computer, "Yes ever since Mephiles uncle died he left the Realm to Mephiles, after that disaster he became to change the rules of the Nether Realm" said Silver, "I see" said Scourge. After a while Silver keep searching but was having no luck, "I'm sorry guys I can't the system won't let me check on it, we need to find another way" said Silver, "Well this was a f***ing waist of time" said Scourge, "I'm sorry" said Silver, "That's okay let's just leave before we get in big trouble" said Sonic he lock on his wrist chain, "Amy bad news we couldn't find information on the Ice Temple" said Sonic, "No worried I know a easier way I will tell you soon, I will send a portal where you three are standing" said Amy. A minute pass and the portal was there they entered it one by one and ended in the same place as always Flesh Pits. Amy had 2 gems on her hands, "Are those?" asked Sonic, "Yes this are mostly the key for the opening of the gates, but I am afraid we are missing one" said Amy, "Witch one?" asked Silver, "Well I have the purple and red, the last one is the yellow gem" said Amy, "Where do we find that?" asked Scourge, "I don't know but without the tree gems united I'm afraid the Ice temple will not appear" said Amy. "But there is another one, the one in Ancient Realm is that the yellow gem?" asked Sonic, "I'm quiet nit sure, the Ancient Realm had been attacked and burned to the ground" said Amy. "It was said that Shadow took it maybe it's in Edenia" said Sonic, "I'll go look for it don't worry" said Amy, Silver notice the red gem, "Amy how did you get that?" asked Silver, "It was easy to track down the guy you were telling me about" said Amy. Scourge looked outside and notice the time, "Umm excuse me I have to leave" said Scourge, "Where are you going?" asked Silver, "I'm going to check around if you don't mind" Scourge rushed out. "I wonder what is up with him?" asked Sonic, "Eh! Tarkatans" said Silver.
Scourge headed to the middle of the forest to meet up with Fleetway, he didn't saw him. Scourge looked around but he wasn't there, "Hello? Fleetway" called Scourge "This idiot better have not canceled out battle training" though Scourge. Scourge could scene something he was being watch, something came out to attack him with 2 blades, Scourge block him with his sai he saw it was Fleetway and push away. "What are you trying to kill me?" asked Scourge, "No testing your reflexes, there good" said Fleetway, "Well you be surprise how much I improve" said Scourge, "That sounds tempting" said Fleetway. Fleetway knew this was Scourge who he was dealing with so he needed to be careful not to show him all his moves. "Okay listen up main things us Tarkatans use in battle are out blades but since you don't have any just use your sword things" said Fleetway, "There called sai" said Scourge, "I don't care, you need to know good block techniques" said Fleetway. "Like witch ones for example?" asked Scourge, "We'll since you already know the surprise block, how about the back block" said Fleetway, "Back block?" asked Scourge, "Not all enemies will attack you from the front" said Fleetway, his blades came out and vanish in a portal he looked up behind him waiting for Fleetway to appear instead he was push from behind, "What the #€££ but you just use the portal attack" said Scourge, "Yes but unlike you my portals don't always appear behind and from upwards" said Fleetway, "How do you do that?" asked Scourge, "Well if you really want to learn it I can show you" said Fleetway. After hours of training Fleetway and Scourge decided to take a break and talk a little more, "So can you tell how the Tarkatan Realm is like?" asked Scourge he was sitting on a tall rock, Fleetway was leaned against a tree "Well it's not the pretties of all Realms, it mainly has blood every where it keeps us controlled, ever since my father gave me the Realm I decided to take things more at my way" said Fleetway, "And how things turned out?" asked Scourge, "Well it was all fine, years later I meet Shadow, he seemed to be the kind of King I was so we keep our Realms in a peaceful way" said Fleetway, "Wait you work with Shadow?" asked Scourge, "Yes he and I have a little bond my army helps him when ever he needs it but still we try to be separated most of our times" said Fleetway, "Why?" asked Scourge curious, "Because of the segregation, non Tarkatans and Tarkatans can't live along sides, not when they always discriminate my species so we decided to only reunite in battle nothing more" said Fleetway, "But that's not true" said Scourge, "What do you mean? there all the same" said Fleetway he crossed his arms. Scourge jumped off the rock and went over Fleetway, "Fleetway I understand all you want to do is protect your race but if you keep hiding it, it won't change a thing, don't you ever want the non Tarkatans and Tarkatans be together again" said Scourge, "Why would I want that?" asked Fleetway, "Because it can protect our race, Fleetway when was the last time you ever saw a Tarkatan being with a Edenian or people from other Realms?" asked Scourge, "About 1568 years" said Fleetway, "Exactly you just said it, maybe things have changed from that time on and maybe it hasn't but why not give a chance to those who want to welcome us?" asked Scourge, Fleetway looked away "What do you care?" asked Fleetway. Scourge put a hand on his cheek and moved his face back looking at him, "Because just like you I want to save our race, I may not be fully Tarkatan bit it runs in my blood" said Scourge, Fleetway just started at Scourge in silence, "I know your not a bad king, I just want you to think things more at our advantage" said Scourge, "You don't think that?" asked Fleetway, "Well even after that I knew you were just trying to avoid another lost" said Scourge he chuckled a bit. Fleetway rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Fine if you think so" said Fleetway, Scourge gave Fleetway a Tarkatan kiss as a thank you. Unlike most people, they kiss by wrapping there tongues together, "I hope there is more where that came from" said Fleetway, Scourge gave him a little push messing with him, "Maybe there is, maybe there isn't" said Scourge he turned his back on Fleetway.
In Shadow's castle, he had been spending the day speaking with Mephiles but night came quickly for Shadow. Shadow started to move around in his bed and started to sweat, he was dreaming. In his dream he saw flames everywhere surrounding him, "Where am I? Have I return to hell?" he asked, he looked around and saw Jules hiding something in his drawer, "Jules?" asked Shadow. Thunder landed in front of him color purple, and started to hear a strange voice. "Because of what you are or what you earn doesn't mean it's everything you deserve" he looked at the thunder but it had no form nothing just purple thunder. The flames went away it was like he was in space dark but with no planets, "Secret are keep lock in box full of dark, don't trust you're eyes, appearances are full of lies" the purple thunder took the same form as Shadow. In that instance Shadow woke up, he held his head with a hand, he had never had a dream so detailed like that before, but what that all about? Why was Jules the only one he could identify in his dream. All he saw was him putting something in his drawer but didn't knew what it was. Shadow went back to sleep just calm himself a bit. He woke up early the next morning he just drank a cup of coffee to keep him awake, he was curious about his dream and was in deep thought. Amy saw him and went to him, "Shadow?" she asked, but he was so concentrated he didn't hear her, "Shadow!" she said a little louder, she broke his attention and looked over at Amy, "Amy what is it?" he asked, "I was just wondering what's with you? You look like you were in deep thought" said Amy, "I had dream last night, it was telling me strange things" said Shadow, "Want to talk about it? Maybe I can help" said Amy, "No I know what I have to do but it concludes me doing it alone" said Shadow he left Amy and was planing something. He had went to the training hall where Rouge was, "Rouge, I need you to open the gate to Earth Realm" said Shadow, "Going to Earth Realm? Okay what time?" asked Rouge, "Right now if you can" said Shadow, "Leaving your guest so soon?" asked Fleetway, "Fleetway? Now is not a good time" said Shadow. Rouge opened the gate to Earth Realm, "It's open" she said, "You need any help with your investigation?" asked Fleetway, "I'm not sure" said Shadow, "Trust me you alone can get killed at any moment" Fleetway jumped into the portal and Shadow followed him. They were in the front gates of the Earth Realm castle, "So this is Sonic's home?" asked Fleetway, "How do you know that?" asked Shadow, "I knew Sonic scent of blood was similar to Jules but it's been a long time now" said Fleetway, "Why have you come to company me?" asked Shadow, "No reason just though I helped" said Fleetway. Shadow wasn't to pleased with the Tarkatan species but still having Fleetway's army by his side was very convenient, "Alright but don't ruin anything, I just came for a quick investigation" said Shadow. Fleetway nod they both went in front the entrance before Shadow could even touch the door nob, Manic had open the door. Manic looked different from the last time Shadow had saw him, "Shadow what a unpleasant surprise" said Manic, "Manic it's been a long time, the last time I saw you, you were saying goodbye to your dear brother" said Shadow, Manic glared at him. "Where is your brother?" asked Shadow, "How should I know? You are the one who took him" said Manic, "What? But he said he was coming here for a while" said Shadow he was starting to get suspicious, "Well he hasn't maybe he tricked you just so he could get away" said Manic, "This is foolish" said Shadow, "Well he isn't here and you have nothing to do here either so take your leave" Manic closed the doors on there face. Shadow was suspicious why would Sonic be in Earth Realm did he lied to him or those his brother just doesn't want him in the castle. "Well that a good family conversation" said Fleetway, "Shut up, I guess I'm going to have to get in another way" said Shadow he looked up around the castle till he found Jules balcony, he grabbed his Kunai tied to a chain and threw it wrapping it's self on Jules balcony, he started to clime it, "Are you coming?" asked Shadow, "No I will be on the look out" said Fleetway. Shadow continue till he made it up to his room, "This room hasn't changed a bit" said Shadow he looked all over the room and saw a drawer, he started to opened it to see if something was inside but all he found was Jules clothing. He then searched around he saw a picture of Jules with Aleena, little Sonic, Manic, and Sonia. Shadow grabbed it and took a good look at it, it was pretty old and it seemed they were happy, Shadow saw something odd in the photo also it felt a little heavy, Shadow tilted it and a golden key came out of the picture, "What do we have here?" though Shadow. The key was hiding for a reason he put the picture back, "What does this key open?" though Shadow he keep looking around till he stepped on something under the carpet. Shadow looked down and removed the carpet there was a door there, he assumed the key was to open it and so he did there was something metal inside he pulled it out it was a safe was really odd it needed to be open by a key, Shadow had the key "I just hope this works" he said, he pulled put it in and twist it inside opening it. It was strange that it needed the same key, he saw a book he thought about it twice before he grabbed the book. He started to pass some pages till he read one that grabbed his attention.
"It had been sometime since Bernadette and I have been together she was my love but I also loved Aleena and can't help to feel guilty by cheating on her she was my wife after all. I was giving the news by Bernadette that she was going to have my first child, but Aleena also told me the same. Months later, Bernadette was going to give birth first but the problem was she was going to have a daughter, I couldn't let that happen. I talked with Metherna and she tried her best but instead Sonic came out hermaphrodite and Bernadette had died during birth. I realized my grave mistake but decided to keep Sonic has memory of Bernadette, I had no choice but to tell Aleena everything. She didn't took it too well but she loved Sonic as if he was her son, the day came in witch Aleena gave me twins Manic and Sonia. I loved my 3 children equally do none would feel less loved and so Aleena did the same she loved them all, she just didn't wanted Sonic to know she wasn't his mother and that she would lose his love because of that. The years pass on, one day Sonic asked Aleena why was he so different from his brother and sister, Aleena couldn't bare the though of Sonic and her kids knowing the truth so that night she committed suicide by drinking poison. I was left alone to take care of my children, as the years keep on passing Sonic grew amazing abilities and Sonia and Manic as well I decided to train them as my new strongest warrior in war" Shadow closed the book he had enough he never knew that side of Jules story. He barely even knew Jules, his ear twitch as someone was heading his way he put the safe back and closed the door, also put the carpet over it but keep the key and the book and jump of the balcony landing next to Fleetway he pulled his Kunai out, "Finished?" asked Fleetway, "Yes now let's get out of here" said Shadow he quickly open the portal both Fleetway and Shadow ran in the portal returning to the castle. "Welcome back, did you find what you were looking for?" asked Rouge, "Actually yes and a little more then what I thought" said Shadow, he gave the book to Rouge, "Put this in my room" said Shadow, "What is this?" she asked, "Something important" said Shadow. Rouge nod and took the book to his room, "So what are you planing to do know? Find your precious Sonic?" asked Fleetway, "Maybe I don't know why he lied to me about going to Earth Realm and not really going maybe he is up to something and I am going to find out" said Shadow.
Silver had gone out of the Flesh Pits for the day. He didn't wanted to be there, he was thinking and concentrating about the Ice Temple. He was so in mind about that he couldn't find it in the system he didn't knew someone had been watching him. The person was none other than Mephiles didn't knew Silver was alive he saw him from the distance and got closer and closer till he made it "Silver?" he asked, Silver turned around when he heard the voice calling his name, "Oh your the guy that had the red gem, who are you and how do you know my name?" asked Silver, Mephiles grabbed Silver's arm, "So it is you.... Silver" Mephiles said, Silver pulled his hand away, "Who are you?" asked Silver he didn't liked what Mephiles had done but neither he knew that was Mephiles. "Don't you remember me my love?" asked Mephiles, "No one had ever called Silver that unless it was Mephiles. Silver's eyes filled with shock he froze there, "Silver I've missed you" said Mephiles he reaches out to grab Silver's arm but Silver activated his Bojutsu hitting Mephiles chest and hit him again making him fall on the ground hard. Mephiles got up slowly, "Don't you dare touch me!" yelled Mephiles, "Silver?" Mephiles didn't expect such a thing, "You think your going to just come to me after all you did, your wrong I don't forvige and I don't forget!" Silver ran at his dirrextion and swang his Bojutsu at Mephiles several times but Mephiles dodge and grabbed it, "Stop this istint!" yelled Mephiles holding onto the Bojutsu, Silver tried to pull it away. Mephiles manage to pin Silver with it, "Would you just stop and listen!" yelled Mephiles, "No leave me alone!" yelled Silver, "What happen years ago wasn't my fault!" yelled Mephiles, Silver struggle "You killed my mother and that is all I need to know!" Silver manage to push Mephiles away, "If you would have let me explained to you what happen" Mephiles continue but Silver didn't wanted to listen, "Just shut up I want you dead!" yelled Silver he swang his Bojutsu at him again, Mephiles grabbed Silver's arms and pulled him close yanking Silver's mask off, "You don't mean that, I know you love me" he said. Silver glared at those red and green eyes, "Your wrong I would never love someone like you, you pathetic mons-mmmm!" Silver was silent by a kiss that Mephiles had planted on his lips. Silver pulled away, "Stop it!" he yelled wiping his lips, "Let it go Silver I know the truth and you cannot deny it" said Mephiles, "I hate you so much" said Silver he only wanted Mephiles dead he was so angry at him, Mephiles heard someone coming there way and vanish in a second. Silver was so mad, he barely notice Sonic coming towards him, "Silver what happen?" he asked going to him, Silver put his Bojutsu away "Nothing just...... I thought I saw someone" said Silver. "I hope you don't dare come near me ever again Mephiles or next time I will be sure to destroy you" though Silver.
Amy had been now back at Shadow castle she head to his room to look for him but nothing, she only saw a book that was placed on his bed. She gazed upon it and wonder if she should read it.
