Chapter 1: Beginning of an Adventure

Knuckles was running as fast as possible away from his enemy. He was being chased by Dr. Eggman in his hover ball thing while in the desert at the edge of a cliff.

"Surrender, Knuckles! I have already captured your friends!" Eggman persuaded.

"Stay away from me! I will defeat you using the Master Emerald if you continue to chase me!" Knux said as he dodged a blast from Eggman.

"Impossible." Eggman said with a smirk. "I've already captured it by using Rouge! I've brainwashed her along with your other friends!"

"You don't have Shadow!" Knux said as he ducked from a blast.

"Shadow will not help you! No one even knows where he is except himself!" Eggman explained.

"I will find a way to defeat you and save my friends, Eggman!" Knuckles said as he dove to the left down the cliff. He disappeared from view and landed in a river.

He got out of the water and stood there for a second.

"How could Eggman do all that to us? He's never been able to do that before. He had to have help. And I need to find Shadow because I can't save the world by myself." Knux asked himself.

Knux started running again and made it to an abandoned G.U.N transport. He got in and activated it.

"I hope I can pilot this thing." Knuckles said as the transport flew into the air.

He didn't pilot that good as it kept swerving but luckily there was nothing in his way so he didn't collide with anything. He made it to Metal City and landed. He got out and saw that it was night so not many people were out.

"The only thing I know about Shadow's location is that he is somewhere in Metal City. I'm here so where should I begin searching?"

Knux walked into an alley and he was suddenly knocked out. When he woke up he saw a dark hedgehog figure fighting a machine created by Eggman. The figure finished the machine off with a Chaos Blast.

"Shadow!" Knuckles screamed.

"Yes. And I will help you on your quest to find Sonic and his friends and defeat Eggman." Shadow said mysteriously.

"What? Why?" Knuckles asked confusingly.

"I will help you for reasons I cannot say. But let us depart from Metal City and find where Eggman is." Shadow answered.
