While Sonic was busy ripping the robots apart, shadow went and picked brandy up. "How are we gonna' get out of here?'' Kuki exclaimed. Shadow looked back at Sonic going crazy, destroying each robot that came in his way. "He's going to run out of robots sooner or later.'' shadow said. "We'll use my car.'' shadow suggested, they walked towards it, but an egg titan was thrown on top of it by Sonic.
"Damn, I hate irony.'' shadow mumbled. Sonic destroyed the last robot and was still very angry. The others took cover, Sonic was bumped by a civilian in a car. Sonic growled madly at it. Sonic started smashing his fist into its hood, the civilian hurried out of the car. Sonic threw the car into a building. Sonic picked a civillian up and threw him into the windshield of a car. Sonic latched onto a building and punched a hole in it. Sonic jumped in the hole, a streak of flames came out of the hole. Furniture was thrown from the windows.
Sonic jumped back onto the street hungry for more chaos. Eggman watched in some interest, but then he spoke up. "Citizens! This creature is destroying your homes and lives. Will you allow him to do this?'' the civilians started talking to each other about what he said. "That beast must not live! He is destructive!'' Eggman shouted. "He's right, lets kill it!!!'' one citizen exclaimed.
They all chanted. The hole city was now heading for Sonic carrying handheld weapons like, clubs, torches, pipes and some had guns. Sonic spotted them, he growled. Atop the roofs, the people were throwing bricks at him. "Sonic can't take this anymore!'' dawn yelled "Look!'' Kuki pointed. It was a kids next door S.C.A.M.P.E.R. It landed in front of the group, the door opened, there standing was numbuh one. "Come on!'' he shouted. "Sonic!! In here!!'' shadow yelled. Sonic looked at him with one eye, sonic ran to it quickly and got inside despite his size. The ship lifted off and dashed across the sky. Sonic fell to his knees he grabbed his head. He reverted back to his normal self. "Whoa that's weird.'' numbuh 4 stated, Kuki elbowed him in the ribs.
"Are we going back to the tree house?'' asked Kuki "Yes. I see you guys really need medical attention.'' numbuh one told them. "We got one injured, and possibly might be dead.'' shadow placed brandy on the seats. Sonic stayed in the back not speaking a word.
Flying from New York all the way back to Sector V's tree house was a long boring and quiet ride. The S.C.A.M.P.E.R. landed in the hangar and everyone exited the transport. The group went into the meeting room. Shadow brought a stretcher and placed brandy on it. "What's the plan now?'' asked numbuh two "We hold up here hopefully Eggman won't attack.'' shadow said crossing his arms.
Sonic sat against a wall staring at the ground. Dawn walked over to him, "Would brandy really want to see you like this?'' she asked, sonic turned his head away. "The whole world knows about me, they want me dead, how am I suppose to take it?'' sonic said annoyed "Brandy loves you, she wouldn't you to mourn for the rest of your life.'' Kuki said walking next to dawn. Sonic then just walked away out of the room. "Let him cool off, he needs it.'' shadow told them.
A few hours had passed, no sign of Eggman. "Why should we worry, we flew from New York to here!'' numbuh 5 exclaimed "Eggman's been known to not give up so easy.'' shadow stated "The army is after Sonic and since we're protecting him they're not going to take it so easily.'' said kuki. Whirling started to sound from outside. Shadow ran to a window, outside was a squadron of Apache and Comanche attack helicopters, along with on the ground hummers with 50. Caliber machine guns, also M1A1 tanks followed. "This could get ugly.'' shadow said. A hummer drove up. The door opened and General Richards came out.
He carried a megaphone, "Shadow! Give us Sonic! If you do not acknowledge this you and your friends will be arrested or maybe death.'' general Richards explained his demand. "No answer? So be it.'' he said. A row of soldiers lined up they fired their heavy assault guns at the tree house. Inside they took cover from the bullets. "Kids next door get the weapons!'' numbuh one ordered. The four got their two by four technology and fired back. Shadow fired his two MP5's. Five soldiers had rocket launchers, "Oh crap, GET DOWN!'' shadow shouted. They dropped to the floor when five rockets bombarded the tree house. Shadow threw five grenades in between two hummers. The five culminated in a large boom blowing both off to the side. Tanks aimed their guns, when one was about to fire a missile came and hit it. The missile was from Metal Sonic. "Oh great.'' shadow said. Metal and a large army of other Eggman robots swooped in.
Shadow launched ten chaos spears among the army and robots. "Give me cover.'' shadow said to numbuh one, shadow jumped out of the tree house. "You heard him!'' numbuh one yelled. Shadow kicked a robot in its chest, and grabbed a soldier and threw him into a another robot. Metal Sonic hovered above the carnage, an apache fired a missile directly hitting him. Metal shook his head from the hit, metal flew and speared right through the tail of the chopper sending it falling.
Shadow jumped above metal and used both his fists to smash him atop the head. Metal flew at a tank, the tank fired a round sending metal flying back up to shadow. Shadow gave an uppercut to Metal Sonic and let him fall. Sonic was watching from the top of the tree house. Sonic jumped off the spot he was on and landed on a platform of the tree house. He walked and walked through a hallway. He thought about how Eggman tricked the citizens of New York, how they attacked him. Sonic put a hand on his head and shut his eyes, he remembered the night he was turned into a werewolf, that excruciating pain when the chaos emeralds gave him this curse. Sonic both his hands on his head, gritting his teeth he remembered the worst memory and it's a fact: Brandy's dead. Sonic fell to his knees grasping his head, "I…hate…him.'' he muttered "Eggman…you will.'' his eyes started turning dark green, "PAY!!!!'' he transformed into his werehog form once again.
Shadow jumped behind the cover of a destroyed tank and fired his MP5's at metal sonic. Metal fired back with missiles, shadow took back behind the cover and felt a pound against the tank. "Where's Sonic?! He could be helping!'' ash exclaimed. From behind Sonic in his werewolf form leaped over them and shattered through the wood and flew outside down towards a group of egg gunners.
The egg gunners surrounded shadow, Sonic came in and grabbed one by its arm and yanked it off. Sonic fired the missiles out of the arm at the remaining robots. Sonic dropped the arm and growled at Shadow. Sonic picked up a tank and loomed it over Shadow. "Oh sh-'' he jumped out of the way before it dropped onto the ground. An apache fired its mini-gun at the two. Sonic roared and grabbed a hummer. Sonic threw it with all his might at the helicopter.
The chopper turned into a ball of smoking flame as it crashed down to the ground. Shadow got angered by Sonics constant temper for destruction. Shadow glowed red around him. Sonic turned around and roared. "Chaos.'' shadow whispered. Sonic lunged at him with his claws coming at him. Sonic was an inch away from shadow but he yelled "BLAST!!!!'' he thundered. Sonic and everything around them was blown back flinging robots into houses as well as the army vehicles. The dust cleared, shadow was still standing but looked like he couldn't stand for long. Shadow teleported himself back in the tree house. He fell down sideways. "Shadow!'' Kuki shouted running to his side. "Please tell me your alright.'' she said "I'm…okay.'' he responded, Kuki smiled and hugged him. Sonic however got back up. Sonic shook his head like he was dizzy. Sonic saw people emerging out from their houses complaining. They all went to the tree house.
"What's going on here!?'' one shouted but stopped when he saw the hulking sonic werewolf. "Hey its that creature who attacked New York! You trying to ruin our lives too?'' another yelled. Sonic looked back and forth at the people. Sonic had no idea what to do. Shadow jumped in front of Sonic. "People please, calm down! Sonic here has barely no control when he's like this!'' shadow told them "Your right about that!'' one person shouted "Wait!'' Kuki said running next to shadow, along with dawn and ash. "Sonic is a hero, he wouldn't want this, It was Eggman who turned him into this!'' dawn pointed out.
"Eggman is the reason for Sonic being like that?'' one person asked "Yes, it was his fault Sonic being this werewolf, it's Eggman's fault, not Sonics.'' ash stated. Sonic then changed back to his normal self again, "Its true.'' sonic said himself. "Well, uh sorry then.'' another person said. The group of people walked away, "They may forgive you but New York sure won't.'' shadow reminded sonic "Thanks for the enthusiasm.'' sonic grumbled. They all got back in the treehouse and all got settled. Numbuh 4 was flipping through channels on the TV.
"Can't you just make up your mind?'' Kuki said annoyingly "No.'' he replied. A channel passed by with a quick glimpse of the Egg Carrier. "Turn it back!'' exclaimed sonic, sonic snatched the remote from numbuh 4's hand and turned it back to the news. "New York City is under siege by Dr. Eggman, a fleet of his ships along with his flagship: The Egg Carrier have made their way here.'' the reporter started "Great now he's back there again!'' ash complained "In other news the whereabouts of the mysterious blue werewolf have been updated as today he stood up against a brigade of the militaries forces, the general himself said that the hedgehog must die.'' the reporter finished. Sonic turned the TV off and tossed the remote on the couch. "Looks like we're heading back to New York.'' shadow announced.
