Chapter 1: Prologue
Sonic burst through the hull of the Egg-carrier, landing on his feet. He carried a burlap sack filled with multi-colored emeralds. He activated the communications device on his wrist. "Shadow!?" He called, the device only letting out a soft static sound. "Dang it!" He jumped back into the hole in the ship's deck.
Shadow threw a punch at Metal Sonic, hitting him in the face. Metal stumbled back, crashing into a series of control panels. Metal's red optics flickered and his head sparked, his whole body shook as he stood up. "Terminate!" He sputtered, his optic's slowly fading.
Shadow raised his hand, his palm pointing towards Metal. "Chaos Spear!" A series of small yellow spears shot from Shadow's Palm, hitting Metal in the head. Metal stumbled back, leaning against one of the control panels to the generator that once held the Chaos Emeralds. He struggled to stay balanced on his feet, sparks burst from the side of his head, and his glowing red optics slowly fading and glowing again and again in a constant. Shadow materialized behind the Sonic replica, holding his hand close to Metal's face. "Chaos Blast!" A burst of energy engulfed Metal. The blast began to spread throughout the chamber. "Damnit." Shadow jumped out of the hole in the ceiling, watching the blast of Chaos Energy slowly fade. He looked to the communicator on his wrist. "FAKER!?" He called out to Sonic through the hiss of static emitting from the comm-link.
"Sha…...I'm...my way…." Sonic's dialogue was cut into several pieces due to static.
"No, no, no, no, no, no!" screamed as he watched his droids failed in their attempts to kill Sonic. He slammed his fists down onto the keypad in front of him. He looked down, seeing a deck of oddly colored cards and growing a devilish grin on his face, and letting out a small chuckle.
Sonic and Shadow spun around, each creating a small blue and black tornado. The two combined, creating an even bigger multi-colored twister. The Egg-droids on the ship's deck were thrown into the air and off the ship. The two stopped, Sonic showing a cocky grin towards on of the cameras facing both him and Shadow.
The entire ship began to shake. The clanging of metal and the grinding of gears echoed throughout the skies. Without warning, a massive, winged Egg-droid erupted from the deck, tearing through the helm and the hull. "What the heck is that?" Sonic and Shadow took several steps back, nearing the edge of the bow.
The glass dome near the centre of the droids chest slid open, revealing Eggman on the inside.
"See you got yourself a new toy, huh Egghead?'' The blue blur chuckled, rubbing the underside of his nose.
"Laugh while you can, hedgehog. But I will laugh last!" Eggman slammed his fist down on a bright blue button, the glass dome slide closed, and the wings of the droid became engulfed in flames.
Sonic stretched his arms, bending them around the back of his head. "Come on, Eggy. Gimme a little bit of a challenge." The cocky blue hedgehog smirked to himself. Shadow simply rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Let's get this over with." Shadow sighed as Sonic emptied the bag of Chaos Emeralds onto the ground.
"Alright!" Sonic exclaimed, filled to the brim with excitement. The Emeralds began to circle around the two. A blinding white light growing and shrinking back and forth in a constant. The ball of light completely engulfed the front of the Egg-Carrier.
"What?! NO!" Eggman's robot reached out to grab the two hedgehog's, being pushed back as the light expanded then faded, revealing Sonic and Shadow in a bright golden yellow forme.
Both of the golden hedgehog's dematerialized, and rematerializing behind the winged droid. Sonic crashed into the side of the the robot, leaving a crater under its arm. The Eggman robot stumbled back, its massive wings flapping, stirring up winds as it launched into the air and out of Mobius' atmosphere. Sonic and Shadow blasted upwards at supersonic speeds, leaving a yellow afterimage behind them.
Eggman growled as Sonic and Shadow stopped in front of him. "Not so fast, Egghead." Sonic chuckled.
"Curse you, Sonic!" The robot's arm converted into a large gun, firing at the two hedgehogs. Sonic and Shadow avoided the blasts, flying around the droids frame. Sonic pressed his face against the glass dome covering the control dock where Eggman sat. "Nanananana." Sonic stretched his lips at the side, sticking his tongue out to mock the evil doctor. The robot's arm went to punch the golden speedster. Sonic blasted away, the robot's arm hitting the glass dome in its chest, cracking it. Eggman groaned, slamming his fisted hands on the control panel.
"Catch me if you can, Egghead.'' Sonic smirked as he sped around the robot.
"Quit playing around Faker!" Shadow commanded. "Chaos Spear!" He swung his arm to the side, a barrage of yellow spears firing towards the droid. The spears hit the robot all along the torso and arms, a few tearing holes in the wings. Sonic blasted through the droid's left wing, leaving a gaping hole in it.
The robot's arm twisted and shifted around, forming a long, sharp, glowing blade. "I'd be happy to oblige you, Sonic." Eggman declared, as the droid's wings folded in, and a large jet engine slid up it's back, stopping at it's shoulder level.
"Not so fast, Doctor." Shadow floated behind the droid, and under the jet engine. "Chaos...BLAST!" A growing burst of chaos energy erupted from Shadow, the blast consumed the droid, causing several bits of it to tear off, falling down into the planet's atmosphere. The Eggmobile broke through the glass dome, with Eggman protected behind it's protected shield. The Eggmobile began to emit black smoke out of it's exhaust pipe, as it slowly fell to the deck of the Egg-carrier. It crashed into the control deck, breaking through the glass shield, and destroying the control panels. The alarm began to flash, and a warning bell rang through the entire remains of the Egg-carrier.
An explosion burst through the rear of the ship, blowing off several hundreds of components from the engine. It began to descend at a quick rate towards Mobius.
"You ready for this?" Shadow looked at his companion. Sonic nodded in response. The two hovered next to each other, focusing their chaos energy into their hands. "Chaos…...CONTROL!" The two released a blast of chaos energy from their palms, the beam of energy shot towards the ship, a ball of light engulfing it upon impact. The ball of light began to spin in a clockwise motion, as it sucked in the Egg-carrier. The suction from the chaos energy fueled vacuum, began to pull in the two golden hedgehogs. "We gotta get away from this!" Sonic yelled, his voice somewhat muffled by the pulling winds of the vacuum. The winds became heavier against the them as they flew in the opposing direction, eventually being swallowed by the chaos vortex.
