Chapter 2

Shade was hiding in the cave walls, trying to figure out how to turn the shield system off so she could access the staff. She realized that Ace's headband had a Prism on it, in which when it goes near the shield, it turns off. While the group was walking out, she slipped the headband from Ace's head, but it touched her ear before it was removed!
“Guys, I think I felt something on my ear.” Ace said. Shade, quickly understanding the situation she was in, dropped the headband on the floor and held her breath. “Ace, the headband fell from your head!” Zooey said, hearing the headband drop. Ace picked it up. Strangely wondering why there was a delay between the fall, and the noise, she decided to ignore the thought, and she continued to follow Zooey, Tails, and Sonic to the Workshop.
Darn! Shade thought. Her chance was ruined! But then again, she thought, if I kept it, they would have seen that the headband was off her head! Of course, they wouldn’t say ‘it was probably the wind’! Shade needed another plan. She threw a DashRing in a tree right next to a window in the Workshop, and in a moment, teleported right in the spot where the DashRing was.
“These Tornado Swizzle Shakes taste great!” Ace said. “Thanks, but my brother Tails makes them!” Zooey replied. Everyone had settled down in the Workshop. Zooey and Tails had let Ace and Sonic live there when their long journey ended. Ace was shaking her head, as if she were trying to figure out something disturbing. “Something wrong, sis?” Sonic asked, feeling worried about Ace. “What? Oh, sorry, I was just thinking, what if someone did take the Green Hills Prism?”
That’s it! Shade thought. If I set off the shield sensor, Ace will come checking on it. Then I can snatch that headband of hers! She threw another DashRing up to Temple Mountain and teleported up.
“Ace, you are one of the best Green Hills guardians I have ever seen. And with a team like ours, there is nothing you can’t handle!”
Setting off the sensor was easy. Shade walked up to it. She didn’t know that the prism was the whole world. She didn’t know that if she touched it, the world would change. She hesitated but placed her hand on the shield. Shade waited for about ten minutes, but no-one arrived.
“Are you all being ignorant? Someone is setting off the shield!” Shadow had slid into the workshop, looking angrier than usual, surprising everyone. Tails looked over at Ace’s headband and saw the jewel pulsing a light. “Well,” Tails started. “Shadow is not exactly the one to lie. Look at her headband!” Sonic glanced over at Shadow, who was standing in the doorway, looking furious. “Just move it!”
Shade heard five sets of footsteps come up the mountain. And Shade could tell that one set of footsteps had jumped off the mountain. She knew Shadow went back to the Loop-de-loop. He was always guarding the DarkChao and making sure they did not escape. Shade indistinctly pushed her way into a small spot in the rock. When both family groups walked into the cave (Sonic, Ace and Zooey and Tails) They supposed one of Eggman’s robots set off the Shield. “Investigate the cave. I know that one of Egghead’s minions, Orbot or Cubot, could be hiding here.” Ace said. Luckily for Shade, no one looked in the crevice in which she was hiding. “I don’t understand. No one is in here.” Zooey said. Sonic looked around for a way to find out how to find the culprit.
“Can’t find what we can’t see… but we have other senses.” Shade decided to hold her breath. Zooey also has good hearing, better than Shade or Tails. After a long period of silence, everyone thought nothing was wrong. “Maybe it was a DarkChao. Shadow hadn’t finished rounding them up, I guess.” Tails said. Ace said, “Well, the only signs I see here are the sounds of silence!” Sonic shook his head in disbelief. “I mean, if something set it off, it was on purpose. The only way it would go off is if the person next to it had a purpose to touch it. That they had an aura that the shield could feel.” “So Eggman, or a robot, got off the mountain before anyone could check on it. But why would they just touch it and leave? Zooey asked.
“Let’s go to sleep. I am exhausted.” Ace complained. Sonic, Zooey, and Tails felt the same way. Yes! Shade thought, Here’s my chance! Ace might not feel much because of how tired she is. Shade reached out as Ace was walking past and grabbed the headband without Ace noticing! Yes! Shade said in her head.
Once Shade was sure that they had all left, Shade walked up to the shield, with Ace’s headband in her hand. She touched the jewel and then the shield. A large gust of wind blew in the cave once she touched it. “Wow, it works!” Shade said to herself. She took the Prism and held it in the air. She pretended to slice something with it. She couldn't believe it was in her grasp, and in excitement, she grabbed a DashRing and threw it in the direction of the loop-de-loop.
