"We're almost to the coordinates that Commander Tower gave us! Be prepared to jump toward Eggman's secret base!" Tails shouted.
"Roger that, buddy!" Sonic yelled back as he, Knuckles, and Amy stood on the side of the plane ready to jump.
"Um, Sonic, do you really think this is a good idea?" Amy asked nervously.
"No worries. We should be able to land in those trees over there and crash into Eggman's base."
"B-b-but isn't this a bit dangerous?"
"I've survived worse falls. Now, let's go!"
Amy screamed as the three jumped off the plane together falling toward the ground. Suddenly, they saw Scarlett jumping from the plane after them.
"Scarlett, what are you doing?" Sonic asked.
"I'm coming with you. It… it feels right for me to come."
Just then, Scarlett began to spin into a ball and spin dash toward the ground. Sonic was surprised because only a select few could pull off that maneuver. He hadn't even heard of it until Tails showed him how.
Crashing through the ceiling into the room where Team Dark was, the 4 heroes readied themselves for whatever was in here. They lowered their guard as they saw Team Dark on the ground, injured badly but still alive.
"Shadow, what happened to you?" Sonic inquired.
"Ugh… Met… Metal Shadow…"
"Metal Shadow? What the heck's a…" Sonic turned to see a metallic robot staring him in the face. It looked similar to Metal Sonic, but was black and red like Shadow. Its eyes glowed with a powerful rage that burned intensively. Metal Sonic stood behind the robot as they prepared for battle.
"METAL SHADOW ONLINE. I AM THE TRUE SHADOW. MUST ELIMINATE ENEMY OF DR. EGGMAN, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG."
With that, Metal Shadow released a dark blast of energy from its hands similar to Shadow's Chaos Spear move. Metal Sonic doubled up with a spin kick attack toward Sonic. The hedgehog was knocked back a fair distance and hit the wall hard. Knuckles tried to punch Metal Shadow, but it was no use. The black robot pounded Knuckles into the wall next to Sonic.
Amy prepared her mighty Piko Piko Hammer to fight Metal Shadow, but it grabbed the hammer and threw it into the far corner of the room. Scarlett stood helplessly as the two robots ganged up on her, ready to strike. Suddenly, time slowed down around Scarlett, and the fox punched Metal Shadow so hard he flew back into Metal Sonic and the two crashed into the wall.
"How… how did I do that?" Scarlett wondered.
The robots stood up and assessed the situation. "THE STRANGE FOX TARGET IS STRONGER THAN WE ANTICIPATED. BROTHER, LET US PREPARE THE FUSION MANUVUER."
Suddenly, Metal Sonic and Metal Shadow began to break apart and come together as one bigger, more powerful blue, black, and red robot. "WE ARE METAL SHADIC!"
Metal Shadic prepared a punch toward Scarlett, but Amy jumped in the way to protect her from the blow and fell unconscious as well. Then, Metal Shadic opened its chest to reveal a Chaos Disruptor Cannon, which was fueled by two Chaos Emeralds inside its chest. Just as it was about to fire, however, a shot pierced the robot's chest. Fang stood up, holding a GUN standard issue pistol, and shot more at the robot until it fell over and deactivated.
"That… was for blasting me in the face," Fang growled.
Just then, Tails ran into the room to see all the carnage that happened. Rouge slowly began to stand up as he ran in, but Sonic, Shadow, Amy, and Knuckles wouldn't regain consciousness. "Oh man. What happened here?" Tails asked.
"Apparently, Fang and fox-girl just saved our bacon. Guess I misjudged you after all, wolf," Rouge stated.
Fang wasn't listening, she stood stunned at Scarlett, while Scarlett did the same. Memories began to come back to her slowly as a connection to Fang rekindled inside her. "Sis?" Scarlett gasped.
"Scarlett? I… I thought I'd never see you again!" Fang shouted as she ran toward Scarlett. Tails and Rouge looked at the two of them, confused to all heck, as Scarlett and Fang celebrated their reuniting.
"Um… I'm a bit confused here. Scarlett, do you know this person?" Tails asked.
"It… it's quite a long story, and I personally don't know all the details."
"What I want to know is what Eggman's planning to do with the Master Emerald." Rouge wondered.
"It's the Staff of Gaia he is really after," said Uncle Chuck, who had untied himself in the chaos, "If we don't stop him, he'll use it to summon a monster so powerful, that Mobius will be doomed!"
Notes: Seriously. There's been a Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, and Evil-Tails-Doll-Thing. There should be a Metal Shadow. And yes, I did take the whole Shadic thing from Nazo Unleashed, but at least Metal Shadic makes more sense than regular Shadic (Who will show up in later chapters)
Also, for those of you confused on how a fox and a wolf could be sisters, you'll have to tune in for the next chapter. Also, I remember wondering what Scarlett did in that attack thing against Metal. My friend Olivia gave me a theory that she "slowed down time and reacted matrix-style". While I'm still not sure, I like her input. For those of you who haven't, go check out her fanfics on Hetalia. They're really good. Her pen name is ThatOneGirlDoodlingInMathCla ss.
