Chapter 1: Shadow's been weakened

Eggman was worried about the position he was in, on one side of him, Sonic glared at him with viciousness in his eyes, and on the other was Shadow, who stood with a sinister grin almost happy to see Eggman cowering.

Sonic ran up to him and with all of his strength punched Eggman right in his jaw; Eggman was hurled backwards crashing into the computers behind him.

Eggman spit blood out of his mouth he screamed out in anger," Even if you finish me you won't stop my greatest creation, he will rid the world of you, and bring the world to his knees."

He laughed with a lot of enthusiasm, as if he believed his creation would win.

Shadow burst with anger and with one final blow, silenced the once great Dr. Eggman for good.

Sonic stood back and started to think about what the Doctor said, he looked to Shadow and said," What did he mean that his creation would rid the world of us?"

Shadow smiled with a smug look on his face," Who cares, I'm sure the fool was just spitting non-"Before he could finish he was hurled across the room, crashing into the wall.

He staggered then got up, he looked over to where he was standing, his eyes were shaking, and standing there was a machine.

Sonic turned around and ran over to Shadow; he grabbed him and took off; leaving the robot sitting near the almost dead doctor.

With one last breath Eggman said," Get them Metal." With that the doctor died and was finally silence, the robot let out a chuckle then with his boosters on took off into the sky to look for Sonic and his friends.

Sonic ran up the step into the large manor which he had bought as a hideout for his gang, Tails and Knuckles were playing cards while Amy and the others were waiting for them to return, the door flew open and Sonic rushed in and put Shadow down.

Amy said scared," What happened to him, did Eggman hurt him?" She looked worried for them both.

Sonic stared down then looked at everyone," No, Eggman was dead before this happened, he was attacked by a metal, but this one was strange he didn't look like me, Shadow, or even Silver."

Knuckles who was proud of himself for beating Tails for the tenth time looked over and said," What, another robot, doesn't Eggman realize that those aren't deadly." He then noticed that Shadow was bleeding from the wound in his stomach.

Amy yelled," Sonic we need to get him to a doctor or patch that up so he stops bleeding." Rouge however, was looking over to Tails who was running over with the emergency kit, he immediately began to fix up the wound and make sure it stopped bleeding.

Shadow winced at the pain and said weakly," We need to take that thing out, if it gets one of those emeralds we might not be able to stop it." Shadow suddenly fainted and the others were shocked at the fact.

After three hours, Shadow woke up, he was bandaged up and was feeling better he looked around and saw Knuckles, Sonic, Silver, and Tails. He looked for the others but they weren't there.

He asked quietly," Where are the others?" The others looked up and came over, Knuckles looked down.

He said," Amy and Rouge went to get some ingredients, the others are sleeping." Shadow shook his head and stood up still feeling the wound, he fell back down.

Tails walked over and said," you're too weak right now so rest." With that he went to sleep feeling beat by fate.
