A/N I'm reposting this story again but in a different format, and there are some changes. Hope you enjoy.
The Phantom Shadow
Deep in an underground base Eggman was busy searching his computer for anything that could help him defeat sonic. Finding nothing he yelled in aggravation.
"Argh why can't I find anything, metal sonic isn't repaired yet and I can't persuade shadow to help me. There must be something in my grandfather's journal that can help me."
After reading the journal for a while he found a section he never read before. After reading it he then runs a search on the computer.
"Let's see project shadow, biolizard. What's this project chaos? Let's see what this is".
He then proceeds to open the file but needs the password. After a while he still doesn't have the password so the hacks into the mainframe and steals the password.
"Now what is this"? He then proceeds to read the file. "Project chaos this project was stopped due to it's immense power and unstable condition. Well it seems that I have to make a trip to the ARK." He prints out a map of the room which will take him to the hidden room of the secret project. After printing the map he then enters the teleportation pad and it takes him to the control room of the ARK. Following the map finds the room but cannot find the capsule which holds the sleeping project.
"Where is it, I must find it if I am to defeat that blue hedgehog and his friends".
After walking around the room aimlessly he bumps into a hidden machine. After figuring out its controls by using his labtop he opens the capsule. As smoke fills the room he finally sees the hidden project.
? POV
"As the smoke cleared out of the capsule I was finally able to open my eyes after 55 years. I felt weak but I was beginning to feel my strength returning to me. I looked around the room until I found the one who released me. He looked like the professor but much younger and a lot fatter. I approached him and he then started to introduce himself."
Normal POV
"I am the world famous DR. Eggman and I have released you from your capsule. You now serve me and will do as I say."
"Number one I serve no one but myself and number two why do you look like the professor."
"The reason why I look like Gerald is because I'm his grandson."
"Okay so now that we have that cleared why did you wake me in the first place?"
"I need your help. There is this hedgehog called sonic and he stands in my way of world domination so I need you to help me to defeat him and his friends."
"Who are his friend and what do they look like."
Eggman holds out a picture of sonic and the gang and tells him who they are until he shows him a picture of shadow.
"Is that shadow."
"Why yes it is, do you know him."
"You could say that we go way back. So what do you need me to do?"
"I need you to steal three chaos emeralds for me. We will discuss the rest of the plans later."
"So let's go."
In Eggman's secret base he tells the mysterious hedgehog where he can find the chaos emeralds.
"After you've collected the emeralds return to the base. The password is domination."
"I'll be on my way then", and with that he ran out of the base and into station square.
Once inside the city the mysterious hedgehog's first target was the station square museum.
'Hey were closed so get lost."
"I have no time to deal with the likes of you now die." After saying this he then proceeds to do a homing attack to the guards knocking out all except for one.
"Emergency a hedgehog has taken the chaos emerald request backup." The guard then faints.
Inside sonic's house everyone was enjoying the party after metal sonic's defeat. Amy turned on the t.v. and began to watch a movie until a breaking news report came on.
"This just in a hedgehog has just robbed station square museum. It seems that the person is shadow the hedgehog."
Amy after hearing this became confused and called the rest of the gang.
"Hey you guys come look at this".
"What is it Ames".
"Look a shadow look alike has robbed the museum."
"Eggman just doesn't learn does he? Well you guys lets go.", and with that they ran out the door.
They arrived at the museum only to find confused looking police men.
"What happened?"
"The hedgehog it just disappeared."
"We have a robbery in place at the jewelry shop all forces requested."
"Dang lets go guys."
As they arrive at the jewelry shop the see the hedgehog for the first time. He looked like shadow except that his quills were all red and he seemed a lot more evil.
"Hey you shadow clone put those emeralds back right now.
Hearing this the hedgehogs face seemed to darken with anger.
"Don't you ever call me by that weak hedgehog's name? It's phantom and you better remember it, Chaos flash", and in a burst of light he disappeared.
A/N So how was it for a first chapter I hope I didn't give away too much. Tell me what you think in a review.
