-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-

Running at max speed Sonic arrived to the meeting point, but he wasn't the first, Shadow was already there waiting.

"You disappoint me, something important show and you get late" Shadow said.

Sonic smiled knowing that Shadow was just kidding and say "You should probably save some energy for the battle" and Shadow just cross his arms.

A sound of an air plane disturbed the silence when Tails arrived in tornado and the other two flying by themselves.

"Well, it's a big fence, isn't it?" Tails said while jumping of the plane and everyone get together.

"Looks like a graveyard of giant robots, its huge place indeed and a small base in the middle" knowing what he said Shadow finish the update.

"Someone did his job" Rouge added. "Ok... let's trash them out!" desperate the echina said while punching his fist on each other fist.

"I'll see what is inside the base while you guys get some fun with the robots" Sonic ended the plan, or kind of.

What was at their back was a tall metallic fence and behind that was an army of robots big enough to destroy an entire city and in the middle a base to command it. A few meters from them was the main gate made of the same metal of the fence and the same height but a little bit thinner than it. So while they distract the robots he will find another way to get in to the base.

Sonic ran around the fence to find a weak point to get in the base, while the others get at the main gate. It was almost mid day so everything seems good. Knuckles punch the gate and it almost fall down, the doors were already falling by themselves but no one saw that. Getting in, they saw something unexpected, yea there were a lot of robots but any of them were working our turned on, it seems like they were waiting for something.

Disappointed the echina throw a rock to one robot "Oh come on!" and something happened, the robot woke up and the rest of them to.

Surprised by the new situation Shadow make a simple plan "ok, let's divide it in sections, left go the trouble maker, center goes you Rouge, Tails I need you to fly and take a good view of what are we fighting and I'll take the rest of them, understood?" Shadow asked to be sure everyone were paying attention.

Everyone seeing him nodded.

"I'll inform when I get a better look" Tails said. Shadow just nodded.

Moving real quickly after this plan everyone get in positions for the fight.

Mean while Sonic break in the base finding it was or it looked like it was abandoned, all in ruins, dark and dusty. Trying to find out where to go Sonic was in the middle of a surprise.

Knuckles advanced hitting some robots to the ground, smashing them, when he was on the last one of that tumult the first one exploded in a big wave of dust and fire, pushing him to the wall, getting again to his feet Knuckles saw another robot explode, he moved real quick climbing the fence and almost hanging on the other side Knuckles hide from the explosion.

In the mean time Rouge moved quick to attack in the middle of a group of robots then she make a move kicking all the robots around to the ground, then she saw Shadow standing at the top of one robot, she shouted to him "what's wrong..." but then suddenly she heard the explosions, she turn around and saw Knuckles falling on the other side of the fence.

While Tails fly way up to see more of the base, but something caught his attention, it was a robot that where shooting at him, then he evade it trying to not get hurt far from where the group was.

On the other part Shadow jump on one robot hitting it with spin dash on the head then another and another as fast as he can, it was the weak point of the robots, then something exploded far from him and then everything get in slow motion... He stopped on the top of one robot seeing to the side where the explosion came from, seeing the echina get smashed against the fence then he heard some shots behind and he casted a chaos spear hitting it with precision, then another explosion came from the same direction, he turn around and saw the robots exploding one after another from where the echina was, after that, he heard Rouge calling him but he was more focused on the robots and he realized that every robot had one charge on their back, and then he got it, this base was settle to be banished but something stopped the process, and now they were standing in the middle of a catastrophe...

Shadow casted a chaos control and appeared right next to Rouge, he grabbed her hand while she was still stunned by the sound of the explosions, then he teleported with her, appearing now outside of the base some far away of the fence, and the time get to normal, after that Rouge realized what was happening and asked

"Why the robots are exploding?" and Shadow stopped his walk and answer

"This base was settle to demolition too, but something stopped it and now we started it" then he said with serious tone "This is going to fall in minutes... get Knuckles and find Tails"

She realized about the missing one in his sentence "Sonic!" she said worried but when she tried to find Shadow, he was gone.

Hurried Rouge fly low to find Knuckles, he wasn't that far, he was just sat right at the fence a little hurt, but nothing serious.

"Honey, are you ok?" she asked just to be sure.

"Yea I'm fine, what was that?" He answered a little confused.

"The explosions? well... everything is going to exploded soon, so let's find Tails, ok?" she said while kneel down to cheek.

He face her "I love you, you know that right?" then he smiled and she just kissed his cheek and both start the search for Tails.

Meanwhile Shadow went in the yard avoiding the robots and the explosions of the others, he was racing against the time, the worst was he didn't know how many time he had. Now he approaching to the base the explosion were louder, when he look back, he saw that every charge were exploding behind him almost reaching him, so he casted chaos control to get right at the door of the base and he entered real quick to cover from the fire and the things flying cause of the waves of the explosions.

Inside the base Sonic was looking for the room that had the computer which control the robots, but he was having some troubles to find it because of the dark was inside and it was made as a labyrinth, as usual of any Eggman base, so he just run and he was guessing where to go.

On the other side of the base Shadow was looking for Sonic to take him out of there, he had too little time to find it. While he was running through the labyrinth he though "Stupid hedgehog, where are you..."

After some thrilling moments they found Tails flying near the base, screaming "Sonic!, get out of there!" as he was expecting to be heard, but there was no windows and the metal was to heavy to be heard from the other side. Knuckles fly up to stand in the fence and call Tails, but suddenly the explosions reach them as well, throwing Tails and Knuckles outside of the fence, Knuckles cached Tails in the air while falling, but they were grabbed by Rouge and she slowed the fall.

"Are you ok?" Knuckles said worried.

Cough was the first thing that get out of his mouth "I'm fine, I guess" a little stunned.

But a big explosion interrupted them followed by the crashing sound of the base

Falling apart, with that, one of the walls felt in the directions they were crashing against the fence and almost throwing down, but it stopped in a precarious way.

Before the base felt down, Shadow found a room and it looked like the control center, the main computer had a piece of roof on it pressing the keyboard, he removed the rubbish and found what he thought, that piece stopped the countdown time ago. Feeling some nervous Shadow tried to think how he can find that hedgehog as soon as possible, the time has gone and it wasn't a small base, part of it was underground, but when he started to run again the worst happened. Everything started to crash and explode under his feet, he could hear the metal crashing and blowing away, he ran at super speed all way up, he had no more energy to cast chaos control.

Mean while Sonic get trapped in a hall where there no was more way to go, he spent all the options to keep going, but an explosion open a way, he was relieve to have his luck, so he continued his run when everything start to explode behind him, at max speed he ran through the end and finally he got out the base.

"Piece of cake" he said while smiling and when he was getting ready to look for the others the wall of the base felt down real quick over him, he could run but he didn't escape from been crushed by the wall, but fire just fortune the fence speed the fall of the wall just in time before it smashed him against the floor, after that hit he realized he was trapped by his legs under the wall and all the dust it was left for the landslide.

Shadow could get out for the only window on the top of the base; he was on the roof when everything felt down.

Knuckles Rouge and Tails get stunned by the happening, then Tails get up and run to rubbishes, worried he screamed "SONIC!", down on the wall Sonic could hear Tails desperate call and tried to answer but the pain didn't let him answer, he calm down and shouted "I'm down here and I'm ok!" he lied, because he didn't wanted to scare them. By heating that the echina started to dig till find him, while Rouge flew around the ashes trying to find Shadow, while screaming his name.

Shadow was sit on the once been the roof now was a pile of rubbish, all around was in ashes or burning, full of smoke that closed the vision, he was just there like trying to assimilate all the errors they made, when he heard Rouge calling him, he just answered "I'm fine..." a little mad, Rouge coughed and flew to the voice. She meet him there where he was sit and she stare at him, Shadow was full of dust with some open cuts, nothing his body couldn't heal. Shadow saw Rouge standing there and said "Are you ok?" concerned by her face, "We almost died" she said while sitting next to him, "How full we were, for coming" she said a little disappointed of herself, but before Shadow could answer she continued "By the way, Sonic could get out, now Knuckles its taking him out" he didn't say a thing, "Well at least everyone is fine" he said after some moments, and he stand up offering his hand to Rouge.

At the time Knuckles could drag Sonic out and find he was hurt, but Sonic wouldn't say a thing. "I'm fine, I'm fine" Sonic said while Knuckles carried him to where Tails was. When they arrive Sonic looked better on the light and Tails didn't notice the seriousness of his injures. The 3 of them just sit there, like seeing what they have done.

When the other two arrive flying, thanks to Rouge, who was carrying Shadow, Rouge said "What are you doing?, I thought you would be bringing the plane" while looking at them with confusion. "ooh, sorry let me bring it" Tails realized he was who should bring Tornado and left. Shadow was staring at Sonic like analyzing him or maybe trying to contain his wrath against him who was still sit there, quiet and seeing to nowhere, which was so unusual for him, when Tornado arrives.

"Let's go!" Tails shouted glad to leave that nightmare. When Shadow interrupted "Something is wrong with Sonic" saying that Sonic didn't react. Shadow kneels in front of him and waved his hand on his face, but he didn't saw any reaction and he noted his breath was heavy and his eyes were expanded. Without thinking it twice he grabbed his hand and casted chaos control with the last energy he had, teleporting Sonic and him to some place.

All the others get paralyzed of what they saw, when Shadow casted the burst of light illuminate the area where Sonic was and was painted in red...
