Chapter 1: Two Hedgehogs on the Loose!
*Prison Island*
The alarms went off and the lights were flashing red, and the doors were shutting down. The G.U.N. robots were searching around for the certain intruder, same goes with the security. The speaker was heard all over the island.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert! Security breach at Gate 3! Intruder has been located in the quadrant and is moving in the direction of the underground base! All units prepare to engage. Emergancy battle formations! Standard battle procedures initiated. Loacte and stop the intruder from entering the security area! This is not a drill! Repeat, this is not a drill!" One door was blown, and the walking machine came in with Eggman on it. He laughed evilly.
"That was too easy!" Just then, two of his little robots appeared on his walking hover machine.
"Doctor, surely you don't need to go alone." Orbot said. The yellow and black robot came by him.
"You need some help out there. The robots and security are all over this area!" He said. Eggman growled at them.
"And I told you Cubot and Orbot to stay at my base! I don't need your help. I'm going alone to find my grandfather's project!" Eggman said as he moves his machine forward. But the robots of his stay in the machine. Before the evil scientist could banish his robots, the G.U.N. robots appeared in front of them! Eggman made a lock-on on those robots and shoot them perfectly. "Hahaha! I am unstoppable!"
"That was thrilling, doctor!" Cubot said with excitement. "Find more robots!"
"Quiet, you idiot!" Eggman snapped. "We're not here to have some fun around here! This is serious business!" The three villains head over to the halls in each level of the base to find this project that Eggman had researched about. Orbot activated the map on the screen.
"Project Shadow is this way. It's in level 7." He said. "And according to this, it's in its deep sleep that lasted over 50 years."
"That is because they feared it." Eggman said. "Once I awakened it, I will use it to conquer the world! Sonic and his foolish friends won't even try to stop us!"
"Doctor, watch out!" Cubot cried out as he pointed at the flying G.U.N. robot that nearly shot Eggman, but it missed him. Eggman pressed the button and the missile shot the robot and the others that are coming their way.
Not for a while, Eggman and his robots are in front of the level 7 door. Eggman hacked the password and the door opened. He walked in and found a capsule there with a lot of dust. Orbot and Cubot got off of the machine and flew over to the capsule and try to see what is inside the capsule. Eggman got off of the machine as well and found the little screen in front and there are keyboards.
"So, this is the military's top secret weapon? It's a lot smaller than I expected." He said with concern. "Hmm, enter user data, aha...enter password." He started to type. "Password is MA-RI-A. Maria! Now all I have to do is to place the Chaos Emerald into this console." Eggman places the white Chaos Emerald in the behind glass and closed it. Eggman went by the capsule with Orbot and Cubot who backed away. The pipes suddenly pop out some holes, making smoke come out around the room. The beeping noise is heard, and the capsule door is opened, having more smoke to come out. The robots started to shake in fear. A mysterious figure with spikes sat up from the capsule and started to stand up, it opened its eyes that is red. Eggman cried out in shock.
"What's that?! Is that you Sonic?!" He asked in anger. "Are you trying to spoil my plans again?!" But just as the fog dies, the creature is now visible. It happened to be a black hedgehog with red stripes on his spikes, and a white chest fur. He had white and red hover shoes and wearing gold bracelets.
"Wait...that's not Sonic!" Orbot said. He flew up and studied the black hedgehog who now crossed his arms in silent. "He looks like him, but more different."
"This is impossible!" Eggman said. "This couldn't be the military's top secret weapon!" The black hedgehog raised his hand to make the doctor silent. He jumped down from the capsule and made a bow on one knee and had his left hand on his right shoulder.
"My name is Shadow. Since you were kind to release me, my master. I will grant you one wish." He said in a dark, mysterious voice. Before Eggman could speak, the alarms went off again. And the robot walked in that is red, yellow and blue. On the top there is a human inside controlling it.
"Get away from there!" He shouted. Eggman growled.
"Now what?!"
"Bad timing as usual." Cubot said.
"Uhh, Shadow?" Orbot asked as the black hedgehog got in front of Eggman by facing the guard robot.
"Behold the true power I possess!" He said. He skates forward the robot and uses his powerful punch on the window where the security guard is.
"The creature is awakened! I have to take it down!" The guard said as he backs away with a robot he is in. Shadow made a smirk and made a jump and had yellow bolts in his hand.
"Chaos Spear!" He yelled and threw his spears at the robot. He jumped down and watched the robot fell to pieces. "Hmph! Pathetic humans!" Eggman and his robots watched in amazement.
"Dear lord, he is the powerful one." Cubot said.
"I know, his powers are unbelievable." Orbot said. Shadow stood up and stare at his hands.
"I am free..." He whispered. "Awakened from the deep sleep that lasted over 50 years." He turned to Eggman. "Forgive me by asking, are you happened to be related to my creator, Professor Gerald?"
"He is my grandfather." Eggman replied. "Since you are the military's top secret weapon, what do you mean when you said you will grant me a wish?" Shadow smirked. Showing his canine fangs, which make the robots shake in fear. A very dark hedgehog indeed.
"Bring more Chaos Emeralds. I'll be waiting for you in the central control room on the Space Colony ARK." He said. He started to walk away from his new master and the robots. Eggman watched all speechless.
"ARK?" He asked. "In space?"
"Should we go?" Orbot asked.
"...If he wants us to go there for him, I will get my wish." Eggman said with a look.
*San Francisco*
The next day, things are getting out of control. But up in the sky, the helicopter flew above the city. It's a military helicopter. The pilot is on a talky.
"Sigma-Alpha 2 heading due south over the city." He said. "We're en route, everything's a go." A voice replied from the speaker.
"This is control tower. We have you on radar. Report cargo status of captured hedgehog aboard, over!" The pilot replies back, as he did, way behind him is four soldiers, but behind them is a certain hedgehog, Sonic! He is quietly unlocking one of the handcuffs with a key he stole.
'All right, I'm free! Now I have to flee from these guys who took me! They think I stole a Chaos Emerald from a bank!' He thought. He quietly went over to the sliding door, but the click is heard. Sonic turned his head and saw one soldier with a gun.
"Don't move!" He said, making the others turn in surprise. The pilot turned and saw Sonic loose.
"What? The hedgehog is on a loose, he's about to escape!" He said.
"Didn't copy that, over!" A voice replied on the speaker. "What's going on there?!" Sonic opened the door and flew out, but grabbed the wing of the helicopter. One soldier watched him.
"Freeze! What do you think you're doing?! Get that hedgehog!" He yelled. But Sonic climbed on the wing and took the piece off and glared at the soldiers.
"Talk about low budget flights, no food or movies... I'm outta here! I like running better!" He said. He places his feet on the board and jumped off of the helicopter. He grinned as he flew down and spins with his board. "Yeah!"
Sonic flew down with his board and landed on the streets of San Francisco. He skates down the hill and pass the houses and cars. He got off and started to run in full speed. One question came to him. Why is the military after him? He didn't steal the Chaos Emerald from the bank. It happened last night, but he didn't do it! Sonic stopped as he spotted something on the sidewalk, a newspaper of last night. He picked it up and looked at the picture of a black figure with a Chaos Emerald running down the streets from the bank. Sonic looked carefully at the black figure, he knew this is a hedgehog, but he doesn't know for sure, the figure in the picture is too dark.
"Is this why?" He asked himself.
"Hey, there he is!" A voice yelled. Sonic dropped the newspaper and turned and saw the G.U.N. soldiers across from him. The blue yelped and ran off in full speed.
"I didn't do anything, honest!" Sonic yelled as he ran. "Man, this can't be happening to me! All I want is to be on vacation! Who causes this madness?!"
*Tails' house*
Tails is finishing up his Walking Tornado that can turn into a plane too. His radio is on to listen his favorite music, but the voice interrupted the song.
"We interrupt your radio for this top story: Sonic the Hedgehog is on the loose from the military helicopter. Last night, he is spotted outside the bank and had a Chaos Emerald with him and destroyed the security robots." The female voice said. Tails stopped doing his work after he heard.
"Sonic?! Robbing the bank?! Stealing the Chaos Emerald?!" He asked in shock. "This can't be true, he will never do that!" He turned to the Tornado with a look. "Time for a sudden test on this and I will find Sonic and find the truth!" Tails got on the plane and turn it into the plane, he opened the garage and took off with his plane. "Hold on, Sonic! I'm coming!"
