My Brother
Chapter Two
Hang on Shadow, I'm coming! Rouge thought as she raced through the dark atmosphere towards the Egg Carrier.
"Oh," Rouge moaned, "If something happens to him I'll never forgive myself… I've lost him once, but not again!" Rouge pushed a red button on the dashboard. The lights that lit up the small ship turned dark, as the ship began to accelerate.
Soon, Rouge was landing on the landing port of the Egg Carrier. When the ship touched ground the white bat was already rushing towards the sector that contained the most powerful foe and ally ever created: Shadow the Hedgehog.
Eggman began attaching new wires to the LP (Life Pod) and was mumbling curses about the Meterx.
The sliding doors made a WHOOSH sound, alerting the doctor that someone had entered the room. He turned around quickly, but to his relief it was only Rouge.
"What happened?" she demanded rushing over to the LP. She gazed into it like a child looks at animals at a zoo, their eyes filled with amazement and awe.
Eggman growled, "The Meterx happened. They ripped out the tube that gives Shadow extra oxygen and also the one that controls his Chaos Energy."
Rouge nodded, but then she asked, "What does that mean? Chaos Energy?"
"I'll give you the basics. Chaos Energy is the power inside Shadow and Sonic that allows them to use Chaos Control or Chaos Blast. But Shadow's body was created with Chaos Energy thanks to my brilliant grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik! Because he was created with this energy, Shadow's body usually can maintain it," Eggman said quietly. "Unfortunately though, the impact on Earth caused a reaction, making his energy levels unbalanced."
He looked at the white bat, "If this energy inside of him loses control, Shadow will die Rouge. You've seen Sonic and Shadow use Chaos Control before. It was strong enough to hold back Space Colony Ark. Think what it would do to Shadow's body!"
Looking at the poor scrap of black fur, now, locked away in a capsule, Rouge's mind could only think the worst.
Her eyes welled up in tears, "Is there anything we can do?"
Eggman nodded, "Yes. But the odds are 50/50. Now either get a hold of yourself and get the towel from the supply closet, or get of my ship. I can't take care of you and Shadow!"
Rouge swallowed her tears and went out to get the towel, her heart now heavy with worries. Shadow? Dead? Not possible! It will never happen, not in a million years.
Even though she continued to tell herself this, Rouge could not help thinking that Shadow had died once before…
Eggman wiped away the sweat that ran down his forehead. He had been working relentlessly for nine hours. He gazed down at the black hedgehog that was enclosed in the glass capsule. He couldn't reattach the oxygen wire. It had been fried pretty well. The Chaos Energy wire was attached, but it would only last about three more days he guessed. After that, Shadow's energy levels would lose control within fourteen hours.
"Poor hedgehog," Eggman muttered to no one. "Never had time to show the world just what evil he could make. He could have ruled! But Maria seems to have ruined that plan too…"
The doctor looked at the Heart Monitor that he and Rouge brought in. Shadow's heart seemed to be beating at a normal rate. That at least was good.
Dr. Eggman also had brought in other machines. Some tested the hedgehog's brainwaves, his blood. The most important machine was in the small room too. The gray machine monitored Shadow's Chaos Energy level.
Shadow's brainwaves were a bit different than usual. They were more active than a sleeping person should have. Dr. Eggman could only hope Shadow was dreaming and that he hadn't been damaged his head too badly by his fall.
Shadow's blood was normal and his breathing didn't seem to messed up. His Energy patterns though were jumping up and down the chart though, like they couldn't decide were to stop or were to begin.
"A real shame…" Dr. Eggman whispered and left the room, flicking the lights off when he left.
