Chapter 3:
Shadow's POV:

"okay mister Chris McLean, you're the list prisoner." Said shadow opening the last cell.

"finally, they are totally gonna need for the next total drama season!" said chris before going.

"Okay sonic I freed everyone." Said shadow.
"The rescue choppers just arrived, and Arnold came back with our chopper too." Said sonic.
"okay I am coming back."

He was about to get back when rouge called him.

"hey shadow I might have a bit of a problem, I am stuck in the core of the prison." She said.

"WHAT?!"

"I know, I must have triggered an alarm, it was rooky mistake…" but shadow cut the transmission.

"I guess that I had that coming."

She watched the timer, she had 3 minutes left to live.
"I wish I could have told how sorry I am knuckles." She said closing her eyes.

The Robot vs Wrestlers arena:

"THEAR HIS HEAD APPPART!" yelled sticks.

"Common those are just robots, AND YOU ARE A MAN!" cheered knuckles.

"did you ever watch a wrestling match before?" asked knuckles.
"nah this is my first." Answered sticks.
"what Robot vs wrestlers?" asked knuckles..
"I did catch a game before." Answered sticks.

"are you actually enjoying this?" asked knuckles again.
"Nah I am just letting out my stress because I am worried for Sonic and Shadow…" she answered. "Oh… you got me."
"I used to be a lawyer you know, for a whole hour even!" Said knuckles proudly.
"Aren't you worried?" asked sticks.
"I've known this two for a longue time, and I know something…"
Back at Prison island:
Nothing can stop them.

Sonic helped everyone get inside the choppers.
"were is your black friend?" asked fisk.
"I am sure he'll be here soon." Said sonic.
"I hope so, I've recently experienced the loss of a good friend, and I don't wish same for anyone else." Said fisk before getting on the chopper.

They will never leave each other behind.

Rouge kept looking at the timer, she only had seconds now.
But suddenly she heard a loud noise and the door exploded.
And they will never leave a friend behind.
"you are more trouble then you are worth." Said shadow grabbing rouge.
"CHAOS CONTROL!"
he teleported them in the airport of prison island.
"You guys are finally here!" yelled sonic once the appeared.
"We need to hurry we only have seconds!" said rouge flying to the chopper.
"Get in the choppa!" yelled Arnold.

"Wait don't tell me the only reason you are called Arnold is because of this reference…" started sonic.
"We don't have time for this!" said shadow, "GO!"

And they flew away, seeing the island explode from a distance.

Rouge sat next to shadow.
"I didn't think you would come for me." Said rouge.
"Neither did I." stated shadow, "and don't think this changes anything."

She stayed silent for a moment.
"I'll find a way to redeem myself in front of knuckles." She said.
"I doubt you can." Said shadow.
"Challenge accepted." Said rouge with a smile.

Back at G.U.N's HQ:

Everyone met back at the lab.

"told you they'll be fine." Said knuckles.

"so how was your day guys?" asked sonic.

"tails and I had the most delightful day at the mall." Said amy, "right tails."

"I don't want to see a sing girl shoe ever again." Said tails with a traumatized face.
"what about you guys?" asked sticks.

"well it could have been worse, at least nobody back stabbed us." Said sonic.

"that's still a possibility," said shadow, "towers still needs to do his side of the bargain."

"I am a man who respects his world." Said towers who just got in.
"were you waiting in front of the door until we mention you so you can make a dramatic entrance?" asked amy.
Towers coughed and said:

"Anyway, we did research and we fond your brother."
He gave sonic a picture.
"His goes by the name Manic, and has quite the criminal record, but mostly for pity thievery." Said towers.
"where is he now?" asked sonic.
"the bargain said that we will give you information not find him for you, I've putting everything we have on the flash disk, now finding him is up to you." Said towers.
"why you.." started sonic before getting cut by shadow.
"it's okay sonic, I know who can help us."

Later; in an office at station square:

"Hello, Chaotix Private investigations here. oh it's you! Oh has it been? A case? What kind of case?"
