Chapter – 7

Over at Tail's workshop, Sonic was watching T.V. in the living room while Tails was at a table on the other side of the room filling out blue prints. Sonic yawned as he flipped through the channels, nothing peaking his interest.

"Wow nothing's on." Said Sonic.

He looked to where Tails was at. Though his back was turned, Sonic knew how focused Tails was on whatever he was working on.

"He's always so focused on everything he does. Sometimes I worry about him; he is just a kid, but all the time he seems to know what he's doing."

Sonic sighed.

The door suddenly flew open making Sonic and Tails jump. Knuckles walked in panting for breathe.

"Sonic, Tails!" Said Knuckles, panicking.

"Whoa Knuckles calm down. What's wrong?" Said Sonic

"It's Tikal, she's missing."

"What how?"

"I don't know. I figured that she was with Shadow after it rained, but it's been over an hour and she still isn't back yet."

"You have any idea where they can be?"

"Maybe; I went to Shadow's house to see if I can find them, but no one was there. I looked around and all I found was this smashed monitor." Knuckles held up the monitor, the screen broken to pieces. "It looks like it could be Eggman's."

"Give it to me!" Said Tails.

Knuckles handed Tails the monitor.

"What are you going to do with it?" Asked Sonic.

"I'm going to scan it and analyze anything that could have something useful in it, like a microchip. If I can be able to analyze it, it might show us where it came from, thus leading us to where Shadow had gone to."

"Well then get to work!" Said Knuckles.


(With Shadow)

Shadow made it to the edge of town after running for miles. He had spotted the forest he needed to go to, but wasn't sure if this was the place Eggman was talking about.

"Where are you hiding?"

Just then he saw a robot go into the forest. Shadow recognized it as one of Eggman's Egg pawns and followed it. The Egg pawn came up to a wall that was covered with vines, leaves, and moss. After a few seconds the wall started to move, and a door slid open. The Egg pawn entered in but was hit with a blast and fell to the ground; Shadow walked up to the Egg pawn and looked inside the base.

"You messed with the wrong life form, Eggman."

Shadow walked in the base, as the door closed behind him.


"Did you get it Tails?" Asked Sonic.

Tails had been analyzing the monitor which was being scanned, it had been a while and the results still had not shown.

"Almost. The system is still loading; give it some time, we'll have our answer any minute." Said Tails.

After a few minutes, the computer that was scanning the monitor was finished and Tails smiled.

"I got it!"

"Where is it?" Asked Knuckles.

"It's somewhere on the northern side of Station Square out in the forest. That doesn't tell us much, but it's something at least."

"Alright, let's move." Said Sonic.


Once Shadow was in the base, he stood in the middle of an empty room.

"All this trouble and to prove what? The minute I find that buffoon, I'm going to make sure he never pushes his luck again."

An alarm suddenly went off and Egg pawns came out and started to charge towards Shadow. Shadow smirked as he watched the Egg pawns get closer to him.

"CHAOS SPEAR!"

Shadow shot the chaos energy out towards the Egg pawns that were in the front, the impact sending the others to scatter. The Egg pawns still went after Shadow, who was ready for the barrage of assaults.

One Egg pawn ran up to Shadow from behind; when it got close, Shadow turned around and grabbed it and threw it to the group coming towards him, knocking a few down in the process. Shadow noticed another Egg pawn running straight to him, he took out the emerald and performed Chaos Control; he disappeared before the Egg pawn got too close and reappeared behind it where he punched through its body.

One Egg Pawn with a laser gun ran towards Shadow; Shadow smirked. When the Egg pawn was close, Shadow grabbed and twisted its arm and took the gun from the Egg Pawn. He gave out a little chuckle and smirked.

"Now to finish this little game."

He shot at the remaining Egg pawns that were coming towards him; not missing a single shot. He used Chaos Spear to help with the getting rid of the Egg Pawns, shooting the chaos energy at the Egg Pawns, leaving a cloud of dust.

When the dust cleared, he saw one Egg Pawn running away; he smirked and aimed the gun at the running robot and shot it. The laser hit the robots head, leaving a hole in its place to see the wires and circuits.

Shadow walked across to the other side of the room to the door; an Egg pawn tried to get up and Shadow stomped on its head before it got up. Shadow followed a path down the hall trying to find the room that had held Tikal captive. He came across a big door that looked suspicious enough and went inside and found Tikal in a cage.

"Tikal!"

"Shadow!"

Shadow went up to the cage and smiled at Tikal.

"Don't worry; I'm going to get you out here."

"So nice of you to join us, Shadow."

Shadow turned around and saw Eggman in a big Egg Pawn like robot suit. He scowled and stepped up to Eggman.

"Judgment Day has come."
