Thorn went down the path. The Netherworld's sky was pitch black. Numerous souls waded past Thorn on their way to the gates.
"They look so...lost." Thorn said.
The souls of the dead went through the gates.
Thorn pushed on the gates, but they wouldn't open.
"The living are unable to pass through the gates into the next plane of existence." a voice said.
Thorn turned around, and saw a young man. He was a male echidna, orange, wearing a black trench coat and jeans.
"Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Noon." he said.
"I've been looking for you!" Thorn exclaimed.
"Really?" he asked, surprised.
"Why so surprised?" Thorn asked.
"I just thought...G.U.N. had given up on me." Noon said.
"Actually, G.U.N. didn't send me." Thorn said.
"Oh?"
"Nails did. She said you could help find your sister." Thorn said.
"You know Midnight?" Noon asked.
"Yeah...she's uh...um, friend of mine." Thorn told him.
"Midnight doesn't have friends." Noon said. "She uses people, then discards them."
"But she's your sister!" Thorn said. "You...you can't say that."
"When you've known her for as long as I have..." Noon began.
"Come on. Please help me find her." Thorn said.
"Fine." Noon said.
Noon brought Thorn back up the path.
"Did Nails really send you here to find me?" Noon asked.
"Yeah, she did." Thorn nodded.
Noon smiled for a split second, then stopped.
"How did you enter the Netherworld?" Noon asked.
"A charm." Thorn said. She pulled it out from under her jacket.
"Where did you get that?!" Noon exclaimed.
"I found it in the Dry Lagoon..." Thorn said. "What's the matter?"
"That charm...was how I entered the Netherworld. G.U.N. assigned me a mission to find an ancient tome." Noon said.
"What is this tome?" Thorn asked.
"The Chaos Chronicles." Noon replied.
"Did you find it?" Thorn asked.
"Yes. It appears to be a list of spells." Noon said.
"Nightshade is looking for that!" Thorn exclaimed.
"Nightshade...why does that name sound familiar..." Noon muttered.
"Come on. We'll figure it out later." Thorn said.
The two went back through the portal into the mortal world.
Nails, Kyle, and Honey were waiting at the edge of the portal.
"Guys!" Thorn exclaimed.
"Nails..." Noon said.
Nails ran to Noon and hugged him.
"I was so worried about you." she said, kissing him.
"Wait...where's Rose?" Thorn asked.
Kyle and Honey looked at each other, saddened.
Nightshade met with Mephiles and Midnight on Angel Island.
Rose looked on in terror at her former friend.
"Is everything prepared?" Nightshade asked.
"Almost." Mephiles said.
Nightshade smirked as she looked on at Rose.
