Dark Chao Adventures Episode 15: Shade and Dark's Strange Journey Into the Beyond Part 2: Killer Mafia Of Doom!
Chapter 1: Backup Lost...
[our story begins in CPAK's future, all the chao are roaming the run-down halls]
Chao: What happened here?
Shade: We found Mr. Prower yesterday.
Chao: You did? What happened? What did he say?
Shade: Not much, just that a lot can happen in 30 years. Then, an alarm went off, he told us to hide in the basement unless we wanted to die, so we did. Then, we heard this oddly familiar, somewhat beastly voice. It talked like the God Father, or something like that. We haven't seen Tails since.
Chao: Wow. So, anything else happen?
Dark: Just some horrifying nightmares come to life...
Speedy: What do you mean?
Dark: You'll see when we reach the Dark Garden.
[they leave CPAK and reach the entrance to the Dark Garden]
Shade: Now, you guys listen up! The thing you are about to see is far more scarier than anything you could imagine! I mean it.
[they enter, and most of them scream. Those who don't are too scared to scream]
Chao: Who's that over there?
Shade: Take a wild guess.
[ShadeF steps up to Chao]
ShadeF: Hey, Chao! It's been a while... nemesis.
Chao: How are you doing............................ Shade?
ShadeF: Correct! So, what is it now, Shade? Field trip?
Shade: No... we have come to investigate. Shade? I think we are ready to wait around.
ShadeF: Let me find out for myself. OKAY! ANYBODY HERE SCARED OF BLOOD AND CORPSES?
[silence]
ShadeF: Good. Good. Yep, Shade, you're ready.
[the alarm goes off]
ShadeF: Now, just wait around for 2 minutes, and while you're at it, get me that shotgun.
[Tail hands him the shotgun]
Knuckle: Whaddya need a shotgun for? You gonna shoot some heads?
ShadeF: Something like that.
Chao: So, uh... Shade from the Future? Could you tell me in private what happens?
ShadeF: Do you have a weak stomach?
Chao: No.
[ShadeF whispers something into Chao's ear, and Chao drops onto the ground, hyperventilating]
Chao: (pant) Guys, I don't think we should stick around.
ShadeF: You got 10 seconds to choose. 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, hold on to your hats!
[lightning crashes, thunder, raining blood, moaning is heard from the blood/corpse pit]
ShadeF: Everybody, stand back! (cocks gun)
[a corpse rises from the pool-- Dark's corpse]
ShadeF: Dark, don't look.
[BANG! BANG! Moaaaan. BANG!]
Shade: ....... is that it?
[all the corpses rise]
[the cage is lowered down, and the chao inside scream, while the zombies pull them into the blood]
[Tail screams and covers his head]
[a zombie grabs Hero and chucks him in the cage, and another captures Devilish]
SShade: Watch out, Dark!
[ShadeF shoots a zombie behind Dark, who faints]
[a zombie grabs SShade and moans]
Z: Specimen... perfect... call... boss... moaaaan...
[all the zombies make an eerie sound, throw SShade into the cage, raise the cage, and go back into the blood]
ShadeF: Perfect specimen!? You fellows better leave, quickly! Instantly! GET OUTTA HERE!
[they all run, and spy as a black hearse pulls up, and see a dark figure walk out and step into the garden]
Shade: Everybody, quiet!
?: So... you have survived all these years, Shade.
ShadeF: Well, yeah... all I needed was a shotgun and--
?: Where did you get a shotgun? It does not matter... as punishment for living, you will have your shotgun given to the Instability.
ShadeF: Wh-wha? No! I want to live!
?: I will ask of you to do one thing now, every day, bring me $100 and 1 ton of oil, or I'll bring the Instability back and give them that shotgun.
ShadeF: Y-yes, sir... I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
?: Just remember: NO SECOND CHANCES. I am sick of my slaves always getting more oppurtunities to live, so I will now show no mercy!
ShadeF: A-alright, sir.
[footsteps exit, but stop]
?: Oh, and... Shade? I have a... favor... to ask of you. Just one favor. If the Time Warfare ever come back, stuff them in the cage.
ShadeF: B-but, sir! They are m-
?: I know who they are, fool. I know. Either you do me this favor, or I'll do a favor of you.
ShadeF: Yes, sir! I promise, I will!
[footsteps enter the hearse, and it drives off]
[Shade enters the Dark Garden]
Shade: Sha--
ShadeF: Leave now.
Shade: Who was tha--
ShadeF: I am warning you, leave now!
Shade: Okay.
[Shade leaves]
Chao: Shade, are you alright?
[a tear is on Shade's cheek]
Shade: .... I'm fine. Let's go see the Hero Garden.
Chapter 2: Horror Terror Screams:
[in the Hero Garden...]
Chao: Chao!
ChaoF: Chao!
Chao: How did the future come to this? Please, tell us!
ChaoF: (sigh) I cannot tell you. Or else, I would be called upon by the Murderous Mechetal... and I don't want that.
Chao: Murderous Mechetal?
ChaoF: I have already said too much... just... don't ever bring that subject up again, okay?
Dark: What's wrong?
ChaoF: Why don't you ask what's above you?
[they look up and see a video camera]
[the chao huddle up]
Shade: Okay, who agrees we should find out about this Murderous Mechetal?
Chao: I agree.
Dark: I second that agree.
[the others agree]
[ChaoF, who can hear what they are saying, whispers to himself]
ChaoF: Curiosity killed the cat... I can only hope they don't die of too much screaming, like Hero.
[they exit, and go to the Neutral Garden, and scream]
[everything is destroyed: the plants, the rocks, everything! Except for the waterfall, which has a sign outside that says "Do Not Enter, Dangerous Monster!"]
?: (Voice on loudspeaker) So, you fools have entered the Neutral Garden, have you? I dare to ask... are you sane at all? I imagine not. I'm giving you a chance: Back off now, and I'll let you go back to the Present! If not, then you will live beyond your most haunting nightmares!
Shade: You're bluffing!
?: No, I assure you, I am quite serious. Go back now, and go to the Present from whence you came. I know exactly who you are... exactly who you are. Right down to your first words, and your last words. Shade the Dark, Age: 3, Born: Dark Forest, Mother: Sharen the Dark, Father: Shawn the Dark, First Word: Me: Asked who was the boss of a group, Last Word: -- I'm not gonna say that out loud. Seriously. Not only is it Confidential, but it's the worst swear word ever! What is it? My name.
Shade: Murderous Mechetal?
?: No, that's not it. That's just what people call me. But still, that's a swear word, too! Fool! Swearing in my presence! So, back down while you have the chance!
Shade: NEVER!
Chao: I don't know, Shade, maybe we should go back?
Shade: No way, you wanna back down? Fine! I'm going behind that waterfall!
[he goes behind it, and comes back out, holding a piece of paper]
Dark: You survived! What's that?
Shade: "Stardust Eggman"? Let's go there!
Chao: Hold on a minute, we shouldn't just go to any old name written on a card!
Shade: Sure we should, it's called detective work.
Chapter 3: Stardust Eggman, 2036, Right Now:
[Stardust Eggman is pretty much the same]
?: Wait! I'll give you one last chance! Go back to CPAK and then to your time, and we'll forget this whole thing happened, okay?
Shade: Face it, you're scared! You don't want us to enter because it's your secret hideout! And so, you're trying to scare us, well, you don't scare me, Murderous Mechetal!
?: All right, I warned you.
Chao: Shade, maybe we should've listened to him.
Shade: What? And chicken out? I tell you, dark chao aren't quitters! Much.
[they go to the top of the building and... nothing's there]
Chao: See? I told you! Now we're all gonna die! DIE!!! We came up here FoR nOtHiNg!!!!!!!! HELP!!!
Shade: Calm down, Chao! Sheesh. How embarassing!
Chao: (pant) Sorry. Got a bit... carried away. Anyway, we shouldn't be here!
Shade: Okay, we'll have it your way for once... we'll go back in time to the Present and forget about the whole thing!
[they go back to CPAK, and to the basement]
Chao: Wait-- what about the captured chao?
Shade: We can live without them, can't we?
Chao: Yes, I suppose you're right.
Dark: Uh... Shade? We have a teeny little problem.
Shade: What is it, Dark? Can't you see I'm busy?!
Dark: Um...
Shade: Oh.
Chao: What? What's wrong?
[the lights turn on, and there's nothing there. Literally.]
Dark: We're all doomed! Doomed! 
Shade: Okay, nobody panic! No time machine, so what? Uh... maybe CPAK has more than one basement!
?: I warned you, Shade. I warned you twice. And now, due to your ignorance and selfishness, you're gonna have to go this alone!
Shade: What? What do you mean?
?: Say goodbye to all your friends! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh, and welcome to your living HELL!

Shade: Uh... see ya, I guess. Bye.
