Please keep reviewing! :)
Control Room/May's Cell
Sonic was first to make contact with the Doctor, in his stomach. He smiled at Eggman's groaning. "Turn that smile upside down!" Eggman growled. "I don't think that's how it goes," Sonic simply replied, grinned wider, and punched him in the mouth.
Silver used his telepathy to give the burly Doctor a wedgie without having to touch him. "Ewwwwww!" Silver shouted, contorting his face. He was looking at the Doctor's underpants, which were covered in pictures of himself. "I regret this decision!"
The other groups located Sonic through their wristwatches and sensed Eggman's presence near him, and arrived to see the girls lying on the ground and Shadow preparing to fight Eggman. They watched in confusion as they walked over to join Sonic and Silver.
Shadow kept shooting chaos spears at Eggman after the wedgie incident. "Shadow! Why? I'm the one who helped you, brought you back into this world! My grandfather created you for pete's sake! Why are you helping these fools?" Eggman cried in defeat. Shadow stopped for a moment. "You hurt the girl," he said quietly. "Well, it was the only way to shut her up and to get back at those two!" Eggman pointed at Sonic and Silver. Shadow grunted as the Doctor continued. "Why do you care if I hurt her anyways? She's just a girl. If anything, Sonic should be the one to care because she's perfect for him," he continued.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Back up, Egghead. What do you mean 'perfect for Sonic?'" the speedy blue hedgehog cut in.
"If you must know, she is pretty, competitive, and kind. She would calm you down if you got upset and if I got you a perfect girl, I could use her against you," Eggman explained.
Sonic tapped his foot. "Well yeah she's nice and pretty and all, but my heart belongs to another," he said, blushing at the last part of his sentence.
Just then the two girls began to get up, holding their heads from dizziness. Sonic and Shadow ran to the girls and helped them walk over to the group and Eggman to continue the conversation. "A question to answer Eggman, or you get a hammer to the face. What do you know about May?" Amy regained her strength and summoned her hammer, holding it over her shoulder. Amy never forgot promises she made to friends. Eggman cringed and sighed in anger. "Fine. I'll tell you. I got an idea when we were still on Earth. I would make a machine to transform humans into hedgehogs. I figured I would transform a girl around Sonic's age, taking into consideration the time gap between our worlds, and use her against him. When we got back, I made a transporter to Earth and watched over many females. May seemed the perfect fit for Sonic, so I transformed her and made sure the transformer made her forget everything about her life on Earth along with everyone forgetting her. But somehow she remembered you goofs *points at Amy and Sonic* when you found her. And now she'll remember her life now that I've mentioned this. Aaaaaaand here we are" Eggman told his story. Amy whacked him with her hammer anyways. "HEY! You said you'd whack me if I didn't tell you!" He screamed. "I never said I wouldn't whack if you did tell us!" Amy smirked.
May began to cry as she remembered her family back home and all of her old friends "Okay, first off, not cool! You can't just take some random girl from Earth and bring her here! Second, don't you see what you've done? She's crying for fuck's sake!" Silver screamed at the Doctor while rubbing her back and comforting her. She merely buried her face deeper into his soft, white chest fur and sobbed harder, holding him tightly.
"Um, first off, do you think I care? Second, do you think I care?" Eggman yelled right back. Shadow collided his fist with Eggman's right cheek and made the 'I'm watching you' signal with his fingers.
"Heeeyyyy! We never finished discussing your problem, Shadow!" Eggman taunted. "So, why do you care about the girl so much? And don't think for one second I haven't noticed, Mr. Traitor." Shadow looked around at all the many faces looking at him, including May's tear-filled face. "I am not talking about this now," he said grumpily and started to take off, but Eggman locked the door by pressing a button on his keypad. "No one leaves until you answer the question," Eggman sneered. "That's fine with me," Shadow grunted.
Sonic walked up to the Ultimate Lifeform and grasped his shoulders. "Just answer the question!" He shouted. "Please?" Amy added.
Shadow looked around once more and sighed in defeat. "Fine!" He grumbled. "She reminded me so much of Maria," He started, talking down to his feet. "Her kindness, her positivity, the way she never gave up on me even when I wouldn't reply to her conversation."
May walked up to Shadow and wiped the tears off her face. "Who's Maria?" She asked quietly.
Shadow felt he owed her an explanation and continued. "Maria was Gerald Robotnik's granddaughter, who also happens to be Doctor Eggman's grandfather. They lived on Space Colony ARK, in Space. She had been suffering from a terminal illness so Dr. Gerald worked on project Shadow to possibly find a cure. His project created me, the Ultimate Lifeform. We became very close friends. When G.U.N took over and shut down the ARK, Maria was...killed. She was trying to help me escape the ARK. Afterwards, I was captured and put into stasis by the military because I was considered 'a threat' and 50 years later, Eggman discovered and freed me." May noticed Shadow looked very upset and hugged him, resting her head on his chest fur. "I'm so sorry Shadow," she whispered.
After a moment of Shadow standing awkwardly with his arms at his sides, he put his arms around her and hugged back. They stayed like that for a while, the rest of the group watching over them. Eggman ruined the moment.
"Aw how romantic. Now, would all of you leave except for Shadow, who will continue working for his Master?" he said, unlocking the door. May looked up at Shadow and he knew what he had to do...for her.
Oooh what is Shadow going to do?
