Later downtown in apartment complex, Knuckles, Rouge, Blaze, and Tails were waiting for Sonic and the others to show up. Tails was on his laptop doing research, while Blaze sat on the couch and Rouge was standing waiting for them to show up..

Knuckles: What's taking them so long?

Rouge: Be patient Knuckles. I'm sure they'll be here soon.

Tails: Yeah I mean we are still learning our way around this world after all.

Blaze: True but they should have at least called.

Knuckles: I'm sick of waiting. We need to find those emeralds before Eggman can get to them first.

Blaze: Well we have two emeralds in our possession and Eggman has 1.

Tails: Which means there's still 4 emeralds uncounted for.

Rouge: Well we do know there's at least 2 emeralds somewhere around that school.

Knuckles: Then why haven't they found it?

Tails: Beats me.

-The door opens and Sonic, Amy, and Silver comes walking in to the apartment with shopping.

Sonic: Hey whats up guys.

Knuckles: Finally where have you guys been?

Silver: Amy wanted to do some "quick" shopping.

Amy: I got new clothes for all of us to wear.

Blaze: Oh can't wait to see them.

Rouge: Hey where's Shadow at?

Sonic: I don't know he ditched us and took off on Omega.

Rouge: I knew we shouldn't have turned Omega into a motorcycle.

Amy: Well what else were we suppose to do with a him?

Tails: Why don't we just call them?

Silver: Good idea and while Rouge is doing that we're gonna watch this anime series I bought.

Blaze: What's it called?

Sonic: It's called Dragon ball Z.

Knuckles: What the heck kind of name is that?

Amy: It sounds cool to me. let's watch it.

Silver: I'll make the popcorn!

Sonic: I'll go put in the DVD.

Tails: Right behind ya.

-Everyone headed to the living room while stayed to called Shadow on her communicator. With Shadow and Twilight at the library sitting at a table with their books.

Twilight: So Shadow how long have you been at Canterlot High?

Shadow: Not long. We're not from around here.

Twilight: May I ask where you're from?

Shadow: Some place you probably never heard. So what's the deal with you and that Flash Sentry guy?

Twilight: He's a guy met when I first came to this world. He's been so sweet to me.

Shadow: I'm guessing you like him.

Twilight: A little.

Shadow: I see.

Twilight: So what about you?

Shadow: What about me?

Twilight: Is there anyone you like?

Shadow: No I'm not really into dating I prefer to be alone.

Twilight: Oh.

Shadow: That's just how I am.

-Suddenly Shadow phone went off.

Twilight: What's that?

Shadow: Someone's calling me I have to take this. Be right back.

Twilight: Ok I'll be here waiting.

-Shadow got up and walked away, then Spike climbs out of Twilight bag and onto her lap.

Spike: That guy sure is mysterious.

Twilight: I don't know Spike. I think there's more to him than meets the eye.

-Where Shadow is.

Shadow: What is it Omega?

Omega: Incoming call from Rouge.

Shadow: Put her through.

Rouge: Shadow?

Shadow: I'm here Rouge. What is it?

Rouge: Where are you? Sonic says you just took off.

Shadow: I had something to do.

Rouge: Like what?

-Omega joins in.

Omega: Shadow is with a female name Twilight Sparkle.

Rouge: Oh really?

Shadow: It's not like Rouge, she's just a friend.

Rouge: Sure she is.

Shadow: Whatever. (turns and looks out window) Listen I have to-

-Shadow notices someone in armor outside the parking lot with 3 Eggbots.

Rouge: Shadow? You there?

Shadow: I'll have to call you back Rouge.

Rouge: Shadow wai-

-Shadow hangs up and runs back to Twilight.

Shadow: Twilight we need to go now.

Twilight: Go? Why?

Shadow: I can't explain it to you now but you have to trust me. Grab your dog and let's go.

Twilight: Ok Shadow. Come on Spike.

-Spike jumps into her book bag, Shadow and Twilight then make their way outside to Omega(motorcycle).

Shadow: Where'd they go?

Twilight: Where'd who go?

Cyril: He means me.

-A man in battle armor walks out of the shadows standing 10 feet away from them.

Twilight: Shadow do you know him?

Shadow: No. But something tells me he's to chat.

Cyril: You're exactly right...Shadow the hedgehog.

Shadow: WHAT!?

Twilight: Hedgehog? Why he call you that?

Shadow: Just who are you and why are you here?

Cyril: I'm a mercenary from Mobius just like you are. And the good doctor is paying good money to capture you alive.

Shadow: You'll have to ask him yourself. Now we can do this the easy way...

-3 Eggbots fly down next to Cyril.

Cyril: Or the fun way.

Shadow: Twilight go.

Twilight: But what about you?

Shadow: I'll take care of this guy you just hide.

Twilight: Ok just be careful.

Shadow: I will.

-Twilight ran off to hide behind a car away from the soon to be fight and watched.

Shadow: You just gonna stand there or are we gonna do this?

Cyril: Eggbots...ATTACK!

-The 3 bots charged at and Shadow run at them and punched through one of them and use chaos spear to destroy it from the inside.

Twilight: Incredible.

Spike: Wow I guess there is more to this guy.

Shadow: Chaos Spear!

-Shadow fired two more spears at the other two remaining robots destroying them both.

Shadow: You're next.(looking at Cyril)

Cyril: As you wish.

-Cyril pulled the two twin swords he had on his back and ran at Shadow. Shadow got in a fighting stance and was blocking sword hits with his Inhibitor Rings. Shadow managed to grab Cyril's arm and disarm one of the swords out of his hand and kicked him away.

Cyril: Impressive.

Shadow: You haven't seen anything yet.

The two began a epic sword fight and delivered kicks and punches to each other as well but Cyril managed to cut on his arm causing him to stagger back as he began to bleed from his arm.

Cyril: So this is the Ultimate lifeform? I'm not impressed.

Shadow(growls) That's it!

-Cyril slashed Shadow from behind and cut him on his back. Shadow fell to the ground.

Twilight: SHADOW!

Spike: He's hurt.

Twilight: We have to help him.

Spike: How that guy will tear us apart.

Cyril: This was easier than I thought and here I thought you be a challenge for me guess not.

Shadow(thinking) Damn this human body made me weaker than I thought. Using my chaos powers weaken me too much.

Cyril: Time for us to go.

-Then out of no where a purple beam hit Cyril from behind hurting him.

Cyril: Argh!

Shadow: What the?

Twilight: Get away from him!

Shadow: Twilight NO! GET OUT OF HERE!

Cyril: I was gonna let you live girl(pulls out pistol and slowly points it at Twilight)

Shadow: Don't do it!

Cyril: Goodbye.

-He pulls the trigger and fires at her as she stands there in shock. Shadow got up and skated over to her and pushed her out the way and was hit but the bullet in his shoulder.

Twilight: SHADOW!

-She runs over to him.

Twilight: Come on get up!

Shadow: Go now please.

Twilight: I'm not leaving you!

Cyril: How touching. (Points the gun at them again)

-Suddenly motorcycle comes out of nowhere with no one riding it and transforms into a red and black robot and punches Cyril sending him crashing through a wall.

Shadow: Glad you finally showed up Omega.

Twilight: You know this thing?

Shadow: He's a friend and now we have to get out of his(groaning in pain)

Twilight: Let me help you up.

-Omega transformed back into a motorcycle and Twilight helped Shadow onto the bike.

Omega: Hold on.

-Omega revved up and sped away from the scene. Cyril made his way back out with his broken armor and stood there in anger as police sirens made their way to the location.

Cyril: This isn't over.
