Tails' Workshop
The Mobians headed back inside the workshop, all discussing May's new power.
"This is so cool, someone I can use telepathy with! Right May?" Silver said, turning behind him to talk to her. "Um...May?" He scratched his head and scanned the room for May. "Has anyone seen May?" He asked everyone. They all shook their heads no. "Maybe she's still outside," Amy suggested. Amy headed out with Silver following behind to look for May.
Silver and Amy walked outside when moments later they noticed a familiar black figure running off with May. "Oh no! Shadow's got May!" Amy cried. The two distressed hedgehogs raced back into the workshop to tell the others what happened. "May's been grabbed by Shadow! He's too fast for us!" Silver yelled as he burst through the door. Everyone turned their heads to face Silver with shocked and worried looks. "Well we can't just stay here, let's go!" Sonic said and prepared to run but Tails stopped him. "You'll need all of the help you can get, Sonic. He's a tough enemy. And, we all can't run as fast as you. We'll just have to meet them at Eggman's base," he explained logically. Sonic rubbed his nose with one finger. "Ah...you're right, Tails. But what are we waiting for? Let's go!" He exclaimed, and raced towards the X-Tornado, Tails' new and improved airplane.
The group got onto the plane, Amy and Cream with Cheese inside the plane with Tails flying the plane, Sonic, Silver, Blaze and Knuckles on the wings and Rouge flying close-by.
"We're nearing his base!" Tails called out, making sure everyone outside of the X-Tornado could hear. Right after he called out to everyone, a few of Eggman's robots bombarded them with missiles and lasers. "Missile launch! GO!" Tails shouted, and many missiles left the X-Tornado at a great speed, right at the bots. Sonic spin-dashed the remaining bots and the group was back on track to Eggman's base.
May's POV: Inside the Base
I awoke with a pounding headache as I sat up. I groaned as my vision finally came together. Bars surrounded me and I realized I was in a cage. And then I noticed a dark figure in the distance. The same dark figure that nabbed me. "Wh-who are you?" I shyly asked. The figure stepped forward into the light, revealing a black male hedgehog with red streaks in his quills. He sported some really neat-looking shoes. He was actually kinda handsome, in a dark sort of way. But that's just my opinion. "What's it to you?" He harshly asked in a low, gravelly voice. "Well, I-I just wanted to know the name of the person who kidnapped me, is all. That, and I'm bored and curious. What else am I supposed to do in a stingy old cell?" I responded sarcastically, then honestly. He glared at me. "Humph. The name's Shadow," he paused for a moment, seemingly lost for what to say next, then finally added, 'And who are you?" I was very shocked to hear this question. "How do you not know who I am if you're the one who grabbed me?" I asked. "I am only shown whom to get and where they are located. I know nothing about you other than what you look like," he responded informatively. I nodded my head in understandment and told him my name. "Well, I'm May. I'm just wondering...who told you to come and get me, and how did they know where to find me?" Shadow stepped close to me and we were face-to-face between the bars. "You will meet my Master soon enough," he replied, and with that, left the room.
Normal POV: Entrance to the Base
The group of rescuers arrived at the entrance to the base. "Wow. Ol' Eggface has really stepped down his game if there are no robots guarding the-" Sonic started, when he stopped mid-sentence to see eggbots pop up out of nowhere, surrounding the group. "-entrance," he finished. The group used their attacks to fight off the bots. With that many Mobians, it wasn't difficult to defeat the bots. After Amy whacked the last bot with her hammer, the group scurried inside before more bots appeared.
Control Room
"DAMN IT!" Eggman yelled, and pounded his fist on the keyboard. "That hedgehog and his friends always have to beat my bots!"
Shadow arrived during Eggman's fit. "The girl would like to meet you," he said. Eggman pointed to his screen, which was full of surveillance videos, and ordered Shadow. "Take this wristwatch. Go stop the blue pest and his friends. I'll take care of the girl. When I tell you to, meet me wherever the watch shows you I am located. Don't fail me, Shadow," he explained. Shadow nodded and grunted. "I won't, Master." Shadow turned to speed off but before he did, his face showed sadness for a split-second.
May's Cell
A large rotund figure stepped into the light in front of May's cell. "Wh-who are you? Are you th-the one who wanted me here?" She asked, frightened. "Shadow told me you'd like to meet me. My name is Doctor Eggman, but you can call me Boss, Eggman, Robotnik, Master, The Big E, I don't care. And yes, I'm the one who wanted you here. But why, you ask? Well, that Sonic the Hedgehog you met is actually a bad guy. He always destroys my inventions!" Eggman began trying to trick poor May into believing that he was the good guy. "I know you're the real villain, Egg-whatever your name was-" she began. "It's EGGMAN! It's not that hard to remember!" Eggman cut in. "Whatever, a good person would not grab a random person, knock them out, not tell them where they are and lock them in a cell," May added. "Argh, ya got me!" Eggman said fakingly. "Your friends are coming to get me and save you, but- WHOOPS!" Eggman pulled out a gun filled with sleeping gas and sprayed May with it. "What...are you...doi.." She didn't finish her sentence as she fell asleep. Eggman quickly unlocked her cell, grabbed her and his hover ship and got out of there. He clicked a few buttons on his wristwatch and spoke into it. "Shadow, can you hear me? Track where I am and come find me."
