Shadow had 3 days left to get a Queen. He wanted to take things slow first.

He can't marry her that quick even though he wanted to. Cream came into the Nature Kingdom feeling worried.

"Miss Y/N? Have you seen Mr. Tails? I tried to find him all morning but I couldn't find him anywhere." Cream said.

"He said that he was going to the Jewel Kingdom." Y/N said.

"That's strange. He usually tells me where he's going all the time."

"He didn't tell you where he was going?" Y/N asked. Cream shook her head.

"That is strange." Shadow walked towards you and kissed your cheek.

"Hey babe."

"Hi Shadow." You kissed his lips gently.

"You two are together?" Cream asked.

"Yup."

"What about Mr. Scourge?" Cream asked.

"Things didn't work out between me and him."

"Oh. I'm so sorry." Meanwhile with Tikal, she was reading the big book that had the Kingdom's history in it. The one that she showed to Cream and the others.

"Hmm...Which one of these Kingdoms is secretly evil? How can I not know this? I'm starting to get a feeling that dark forces are ready to return. But where?" Suddenly, Tikal began to feel weak.

"W-What's happening?" Tikal opened the secret door and noticed that the Artifact is gone. Tikal gasped in fear.

"Oh no! This is not good! Someone stole the Artifact! I must tell the other Kingdoms." When Tikal got up, she fell down again moaning in pain. The guards saw this and gasped.

"Your highness!"

"G-Guards! Go to the other Kingdom's! Alert t-them that the Artifact has been stolen!"

"Yes ma'am!" They quickly ran off. Tikal was to weak to get up as the glow around her Kingdom began to fade.

The villagers gasped in fear. Later, Tikal got a report that all Kingdom Artifacts have been stolen, Rulers becoming weak and their Kingdoms losing their glow.

"T-The Dark Forces have returned. But who a-are they now?" Meanwhile at the Nature Kingdom, You, Shadow and Cream were becoming weak except for Sonic.

"Guys!" You were moaning in pain. Sonic noticed that the nature around them was dying. Sonic gasped in surprised horror. In each Kingdom, things were not going well.

The Ice Kingdom was slowly melting, The Fire Kingdom was losing its heat, The Music Kingdom was rusting, The Jewel Kingdom was turning into rocks, The Animal Kingdom's animals are attacking the citizens.

The Light Kingdom was turning dark, The Dark Kingdom was getting way to bright, The Water Kingdom way drying up, The Nature Kingdom's plants were dying,

The Speed Kingdom's citizens were losing their speed and The Legend Kingdom was losing their books power which means they can't summon anything from any book.

All Kingdoms were losing their glow very slowly and the danger for each Kingdom is happening very slowly.

"What's happening!? What's happening to you guys!?" Sonic asked.

"I-I...feel...weak." Y/N said.

"Me t-too. I can't m-move." Cream said. Suddenly, The guards ran towards them.

"The Kingdom Artifacts have been stolen." Sonic widen his eyes.

"What!? From who!?"

"We don't know but we found this." The guard handed Sonic a picture of a young mobian stealing the Nature Artifact but he couldn't tell who it was.

"We'll take these three to the Nature King and Queen. Let everyone know what's happening but try not to make them panic."

"Yes sir." Sonic said as he ran off.

*Thinks* "Who would do such a thing?" Meanwhile with the mysterious Hedgehogs, the young kid walked towards them with the Artifacts.

The tied up mobian was behind the three hedgehogs. He widen his eyes when he saw the Artifacts and then he began to feel worried.

"I got them sir."

"Wow. You're not as bad as I thought kid." The left one said.

"Yes! We win!" The right one said.

"Not quite. We still need to kill Shadow and kidnap the princess." The middle one said.

"Oh..." The middle one looked at the kid.

"You're doing a great job so far.........Tails." Tails smiled and then smirked evilly ready for the next plan.
