I landed on my feet next to Shadow, Rouge, and Omega and, to my surprise, I wasn't dizzy. Shadow tapped his foot impatiently. "Where are they?!" he grumbled.
"THERE IS SHADOW," a robotic voice spoke. I whirled around, only to find Rouge and Omega.
"How did you guys get here so fast?"
"Chaos Control," Shadow and I said simultaneously. Rouge smiled. "Good. You two ready?"
"WARNING!" Omega chanted. "IMMEDIATE DESTRUCTION IF DISTRACTED!"
"Hn," Shadow muttered. "Hope you can keep up with me." And with that, he took off running at full speed, leaving us in the dust. Rouge chased after him.
"Hey, WAIT UP!" she called as she ran after him
"AFFIRMATIVE!" Omega took off after the two, leaving me behind.
"Aw, NO FAIR!" I yelled. "I CAN'T RUN AS FAST AS YOU!" I took off after them, but I was way behind even Omega. "OMEGA!" Omega came to a halt. "WAIT UP!" Omega stared blankly at me.
"CLIMB ON TOP OF ME." I thankfully obeyed him and climbed onto his back. Within seconds we were catching up to Rouge.
"ROUGE!" I yelled out to her. She skidded to a halt and whirled around.
"Oh…" she mumbled. "Sorry Omega! Sorry Keiko! SHADOW! GET YOUR EMO ASS BACK HERE NOW!" I could barely see Shadow, and it was not just that Omega's head was blocking my view. The tiny black dot that was Shadow stopped and grew larger and larger as it ran closer and closer toward us. As soon as he was around three feet away from us, he came to a halt.
"What?" he snapped.
"Look, Shadow," I started. "Rouge and Omega may be able to keep up with you, but I can't. So please slow down a little." Shadow slowly nodded, as if I had just recited pi to its fullest.
"Well why didn't you say so?"
"I just did!" Shadow immediately grabbed my hand and took off running. Maybe it was my lack of experience with sudden bursts of full speed like this that made everything seem like a blur of color. I saw a blur of white and purple, possibly Rouge, and a blur of red, an Eggman robot. We came skidding to a halt. The world spun around me. As soon as I regained control of my senses, Shadow was on the move again. This time, I was used to the blur of color, but my head still spun when Shadow stopped.
"Get behind me," he whispered. I looked up, only to find a great metallic red bird staring at us. In the cockpit was an egg-shaped man… Dr. Eggman.
"So you're the ones who were playing games with my army!" he thought out loud. I couldn't catch everything Omega said… something about destroying Eggman… I was thinking about an attack plan. The robot flew backwards.
"Shadow, catch up to him!" I yelled over the roar of the engine. Shadow stared at me, shocked at the fact that I just gave him an order.
"What?"
"I'm just trying to help you guys!" Rouge smirked.
"The last time you said that, you sided with the echidna."
"That doesn't matter! Anyway, Shadow, run up to him! Make sure he doesn't get away, and, whatever you do, don't attack him! Get the robots surrounding his machine instead!" I didn't bother to add that the speed character was the most useless character in the game. "Rouge, you fly up and destroy the motor so it slows down! Omega, you attack Eggman directly!"
"AFFIRMATIVE."
"What about you?" Shadow asked.
"I'll run and catch up, now GO!" Shadow broke into a sprint to keep up with Eggman, Omega close behind him. Rouge sprang into the air and flew toward the bird. She kicked the robots controlling the motors, putting an end to them once and for all. Shadow homing-attacked each of the robots surrounding the cockpit while Omega punched the head of the bird with all the strength he could muster. Smoke rose up from the bird as Eggman slammed his fist into it.
"This isn't the end!" The seat holding him rose into the air, leaving the bird in the sand.
"All right!" Rouge cheered. "That actually worked!"
"Well of course it did!" I exclaimed. "I've played this boss a million times before!"
"So that's why you knew exactly what to do," Shadow muttered.
"Yup!"
"So…" Rouge started. "Where to next?" I tried to think of an explanation of where to go next. What would I say, Grand Metropolis?
"Um… in the game, it wasn't clear exactly how you got there, but you're supposed to get to some sort of energy plant."
"Energy plant…" Rouge mumbled as she tried to make sense out of what I just said. Suddenly, she snapped her fingers. "Oh, you mean the Grand Metropolis!" If I knew it would have been that easy, I would have said that in the first place. "We just keep running down this beach and then we'll reach the city walls! Let's go!" She broke off into a run, and Shadow followed her.
"CLIMB ON MY BACK," Omega ordered me. I obeyed gleefully as he also started zooming down the beach.
