Cory in the House: Trials of the Earth (Season 2)

Zero

The gang continued moving toward Chicago, their chaos emeralds still drained of energy because of the fourth chaos emerald. None of them could teleport or change their appearance because of this. They were stuck doing it the old fashioned way.

Chicago is said to be the location of the fifth chaos emerald. This is why they were heading to Chicago, in order to get the fifth chaos emerald they heard was in Chicago.

Next to nothing could stop them, until a vortex opened from the sky and blaze popped out of it. Everyone was shocked except espio, who merely grunted and kept moving.

"blaze? Why are you here?" silver said as he stepped forward.

Blaze shook her head and silver moved back, "I was told an evil spirit has awakened in this world by the light God in my dimension. Apparently someone freed him from the depths of hell."

Corys eyes went wide as he remembered his trip to hell with Kanye east. The person who freed him must have gone into hell after Cory.

Blaze grunted and stared at them, "it doesn't matter who did it, we'll figure that out later."

"who is this 'we.' Right now we already have enough faggots to run the entire fashion industry," espio said, glaring.

"well then." blaze responded crossing her arms.

"do you have any special skills?" Cory asked, tipping his Fedora.

"I can conjure fire and-"

"you're in"

Espio rolled his eyes at Cory, now even more incompetence could stupidity would follow him around. But it wasn't like he had anyone else to be with.

The gang continued onward into Chicago. They were amazed by the size of the city, except for espio who doesn't get surprised, as you probably already know.

Cory walked up to someone, asking for directions, "locale uh museumoso.. Wherea?"

"uh what?" the guy said, not knowing Spanish.

"where's the museum?" espio cut in.

"oh, I don't know, I'm looking for that as well. But Im not going with the likes of you." the man said, gesturing to most of them.

"understandable." espio cut in.

They parted ways and began asking random people, no one knew where the museum was. Did the museum even exist?

Eventually, they went up the sears tower and looked for it. Using his excellent vision, espio was able to spot it.

"great, let's go," blaze said.

"hmmph, don't act like you're in charge, princess." espio responded.

Blaze crossed her arms, but shut up. The gang exited the building and headed for the museum. As they entered, Michael and silver went straight to the gift shop. The rest continued onward.

"Chris said that the u boat they're holding here was powered by a chaos emerald." Cory stated.

"yeah, we know Cory." espio stated briefly.

They walked through the exhibits, looking for the u boat, as they walked, espio felt like they were being followed. He looked around cautiously, but didn't see anyone. He kept his guard up.

As they walked toward the u boat exhibit, they saw there were lots of people in the room. This wasn't good to Cory. They couldn't have witnesses to his awesome power.

They entered the ship and searched around for the emerald, but couldn't find it. Espio kept looking around for the source of his discomfort, but couldn't see anyone. They moved on toward the driver's area of the submarine, and saw a hatch leading to the reactor. Going down, they realized that the emerald must have been removed to stop the power the ship had. They exited the ship, but were met with a familiar face.
