A/N:

I don't think I'm going to include them actually plotting to get Sonic...just too lazy x_x Plus, we all know Eggman would want him to do that anyway sooooo the next update will start right off with the battle.

Eggman surprised himself with how fast he was running. He had never been so fast in all of his life but who wouldn't be when being chased down by security. Upon reaching his destination, he pressed a big button beside the door causing another heavy metal one to shut in front of him. He had finally reached it; The genius creation his grandfather has left behind was right there in his sight. The only thing in the way was a tall pod like container kept closed by a keypad.

"Uh...well." Eggman sighed as he randomly pressed keys.

Luckily, it opened, releasing tons of fog while a familiar figure sat up.

"It's you, Sonic! Damn you...are you trying to ruin my plans again?!" Eggman complained, backing away from his rival...or so he thought.

A black and red striped hedgehog emerged then knelled before him. The only thing he could do is pick up his jaw from the floor.

"My name is Shadow. In order to thank you for releasing me...whatever you wish...I will grant to you."

~Somewhere else~

Everyone was ecstatic when Eggman and his henchmen disappeared...everyone except for Sonic that is. They enjoyed this break while he died of boredom. Months had gone by without a single bit of action. The hero sat down with Knuckles and Tails on the sofa and let out a sigh. Was it really a possibility that he missed the egg head? A loud noise followed by a vibration, powerful enough to make him move, snapped him out of this thought. Then the electricity went out.

"What was that?!" Amy loudly asked from the shower.

As it continued, it got worse but easier to identify. Soon it was made out to be something close to a giant walking.

"I don't like the sound of this." Tails said, frightened, while he hid under a cushion on the couch.

Sonic walked over and picked it up before tossing it to the other side of the room; Earning himself a dirty glare from the fox.

"Whatever it is, it's big." Sonic stated, ignoring Tails.

Knuckles was still leaned way back into his seat. He didn't look like he was in the mood for anything right now. All this time without having to do any work sure had its affects on them. "Yeah...let's run."

"What?! No way! We can't just run away!" Sonic exclaimed to which Knuckles got up and put an arm around him.

"If it is truly big then we are no match for it. It's irrational, it's impossible, it's-" Knuckles stopped, sensing a chaos emerald nearby, "but I suppose if there's a chaos emerald involved then I could make a little effort."

The echidna rushed to out the door, spinning and leaving a dizzy hedgehog in his dust.

"Wait, Knuckles!"
