Chapter 4; Sabotage one enemy, release the other

Sonic stepped into the control room through the hole he'd made in the door. "Hello Eggy." Eggman screamed, his face red with fury, "CONTINUE FIGHTING! KILL THE HEDGEHOGS AND FOX! CALL ME WHEN YOU'VE DESTROYED THEM!" Eggman jumped into an escape pod and it took off, "Aww no fair Eggman!" Sonic complained. Shadow smirked, "Nothings perfect is it Sonic?" "I guess not." They smashed everything in sight, even a glass tank that seemed only a quarter full of water for some reason...

The water from the tank moved slowly, if it wanted to look innocent but get the chaos emeralds that Eggman had left in his office he would have to move slow. He looked at the distant end of the corridor, suddenly, he heard the robots evacuating, the ship was going to explode, the water moved faster, it reached Eggman's office, it thrust itself under the door, reared, and absorbed the five chaos emeralds in Eggman's office, then, it became a ball of water as the ship exploded.

Sonic high fived Tails, "Woo hoo! Oh yeah! What lovely fireworks eh Shadow?" Shadow looked at Sonic in amusement. "Are you only saying that because it's Eggman's ship?" "Yup." Shadow smirked and shook his head, "Now we are allies." The two robots held out their hands. "So, were to now Shadow? I remember your looking for the chaos emeralds?" As Shadow nodded and held up the chaos emerald he had to take them back to Station Square, a ball of water hurled itself from a nearby pond, absorbed the emerald, and disappeared. "What the...?" Shadow suddenly realized what it was, "Sonic hurry, we have to find those emeralds before that thing collects them all!" He shouted, "Shadow what's wrong?" "DON'T ASK QUESTIONS, THE FUTURE IS AT STAKE!" Sonic was shocked by Shadow's frantic attitude, "Okay Shadow, we're looking!"
