I don't own sonic. Oh, and by the way does anyone have any ideas about what kind of girl Shadow would like? Cause I don't. I'd make up my own. But I don't wan t to be tackled by a hoard of Shadow's fan girls.

Knuckles sat in front of the master Emeralds shrine. His eyes glazed over, and his mind utterly empty. This past year had been boring and useless. Since his return from space colony ARK, guarding the master emerald had seemed... dull. Suddenly the sound of an aircraft snapped him back into reality. A large plane landed on the tiny island and out stepped a bat (not Rouge, it's a guy!) in a suit.
" We claim this land for..." He stopped short seeing Knuckles staring at him.
" What are you doing Boy? This land s as of now government property!" Said another man. By now quite a few people had disembarked.
" I live here. This land belonged to my ancestors you can't take it!" Knuckles stated looking around at the people.
" Do you intend to make a stand?" said the bat in a bored tone. He didn't see Knuckles as a threat merely as a nuisance.
" Damn straight!" Knuckles shouted than charged. But he hadn't seen it and when he did it was to late. By the time he noticed the gun the bullet was in his chest.

Meanwhile...
Sonic was racing metal sonic around a track. He won for the fifth time that morning so he stopped.
" Eggman was right, I am getting better. I'll have to get him to make metal faster so I can train harder!" Sonic thought. He and Tails had been staying with Eggman since the happenings of SA2. It was a fair trade. Eggman had agreed to take care of them after Sonic had bragged about how young he was to a news caster covering the " ARK Story". A government official had immediately pointed out that sixteen was far too young to raise a child. Despite Sonic's protests the man told him that the legal adoption age was twenty-one. Eggman said he'd take them. It was the least he could do after making their lives hell. But Eggman apparently was going to jail. A man like that could always go back to his old ways. Sonic then said he'd make sure Eggman stayed out tof trouble.
The odd arrangement had worked out surprisingly well. Sonic was given the best training equipment in the world, and Eggman was teaching Tails. Tails loved learning all the new information, and Eggman, secretly, was enjoying all the things Tails unknowingly was teaching him.
Sonic entered the lab where Tails and Eggman were working on some weird new machine.
" What are you guys up to now?" Sonic asked studying the machine with mild interest.
" Were gonna bring Shadow back to life!" Tails said turning to look at Sonic. His face was covered in oil so his eyes stood out remarkably.
" How?!" How Sonic said in amazement.
"If I remember correctly the last time we tried to explain an invention, you lost interest halfway through and wandered off." Eggman said.
" That's nice," Sonic, said wandering off.
