A streak of green sped by as Tails dodged for cover.
"What, nothing goes that fast except for Sonic, and he's blue." Shadow and Silver suddenly shot into view and to a stop in front of Tails.
"Hey, did you see him Tails? You know the evil Sonic?" Silver asked urgently.
"Huh, evil Sonic?" A confused Tails wondered. "Oh, you mean that green streak?"
"Yeah. Which way did he go?" Shadow was obviously in a hurry.
"That way." Tails pointed north. Shadow shot off.
"Thanks" Silver murmured before following. "We can't let him find that portal." Silver yelled over the air rushing through his ears. "If he does it's gonna be a lot harder to stop him."
"What was he planning again." Asked Shadow.
"I told you this already. He's collected all the Chaos Emeralds. Now he can use Chaos Control to cross through the portal to my dimension." Silver explained.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh, got that part." Shadow nodded.
"Since there were no Chaos Emeralds created in Moebius, all he needs now are the Sol Emeralds from my dimension and to return them to his throne. As you know his throne gives the same power as the Chaos and Sol Emeralds because of the Anarchy Beryl embedded within it. If he combines the Emeralds with his throne who knows what kind of chaotic mayhem he could create. We must not let him through that portal!" Silver finished.
"Let's go!" Shadow put on an extra burst of speed.
"And if he opens that portal we'll have the added risk of Eggman Nega." Silver muttered to himself bursting after Shadow.
"Please, Eggman, you have to help us stop him!" Sonic pleaded.
"Never, hedgehog." Eggman roared.
"Look, he's too powerful for us to beat alone, and if he destroys us he'll come after this entire world including you and there go your Eggman Land plans." Sonic reasoned.
"You're right." Eggman muttered before continuing. "And if I help you . . ."
"Let's see . . . I know, I'll give you all the Chaos Emeralds and a half-hour head start on your next plot." Sonic said.
"That is a good deal. I agree." Eggman said.
"Great, I-"
"Not so fast!" Eggman cut him off. "I agree, but I offer you only this, Metal Sonic and three others shall assist you." Eggman smiled as he said this.
"Who're the other three, some Eggbots?" Sonic grinned.
"No, what is the name of this threat again?" Eggman turned away and began to scribble something on a piece of paper.
"Scourge, Scourge the hedgehog."
Eggman stopped for a moment and looked at Sonic. "What does he look like?"
"Uuuuh, same as me except green with two scratches across his chest, and wearing a black leather jacket with flames on the sleeves and sunglasses.
"Mmhmm, and powers?" Eggman returned to paper.
"Same as mine? Little stronger I guess. Why are you asking all this?"
"It is for what will be accompanying you."
"And that is?"
"This." Eggman stopped writing and held up the paper. It contained a blueprint. A blueprint for a Metal Scourge.
