Shadow the Hedgehog was now standing right infront of both Chris and Helen. It had been such a long time since they had seen eachother, infact the first time that Helen had ever really met Shadow herself.

"Shadow, I should've known.", Chris said to the Hedgehog, "Where are we going?". Helen herself stayed quiet, all she wanted to do was go home, or at least to any other place than Scrap Brain's prison chambers.

"I'm taking you away from here, now follow me!", Shadow then blasted off with Chris and Helen right behind him. He didn't go at his full speed, so that the two humans behind him would not be left behind. Thanks to his Flashlight, Shadow was able to make his way out of the prison cell and into the main halls of Scrap Brain, which were pitch dark with no light other than the flashlight Shadow had brought with him. The Sounds of jetpacks, gun shots, explosions, and basically complete chaos could be heard from all directions. However, the three escapees did not pay any mind to these, their only focus was getting off of Scrap Brain safely. How Shadow made it here didn't even matter, all that mattered was that he was. Shadow, Chris, and Helen focused on the path. Of course, this brought Shadow some flashbacks. He couldn't recall it fully, but it was of him running down a hallway in a similar problem. Except, it was with an old man and a girl. He almost fell to the ground in confusion and shock of this flashback, but his determination to get the President and his soon to be wife to safety was enough to give him strength to not do so. However, it was only a matter of time until gun shots reached them. Suddenly, Egg Robo henchmen were firing in their direction. Helen almost screamed in terror, but Chris kept on a serious face. Shadow fired back Chaos Spears at the darkness, hoping to cause destruction to the firing robots. It was at this time the Hedgehog saw the Elevator in his view. "Let's get MOVING!", he shouted as he ran faster towards the elevator, Chris attempted to run faster, but an unaimed shot of an Egg Robo's gun claimed his back. Helen screamed as she and her love fell to the ground. Shadow turned back and in pure rage fired seven chaos spears to the areas behind the two. The rolling parts of Egg Robo soliders told him he claimed his kill. The Black Hedgehog then rushed over to Helen and Chris, helen crawled from underneath Chris as Shadow held her into his arms.

"Chris? Chris!", Helen cried out, "You have to save him!", Helen pleaded. Shadow silently looked down, closing his eyes. Chris was not moving at all, and the hole the Egg Robo solider shot into him went directly through his heart. It had only barely missed Helen herself. Helen started to Cry when Shadow heard more footsteps coming their way, so the hedgehog looked up. Since he was now carrying Helen it would be hard for him to use his Chaos Powers.

"We have to go, NOW!", Shadow said in a bit of an angry tone. Before any response was made from Helen, Shadow dashed into the elevator, and soon enough they were heading upwards towards the deck of the ship. They never did wait to find out that the footsteps heading towards them were actually those of Rouge the Bat, Dr. Eggman, Decoe, Bocoe, Vector the Crocodile, and Cream the Rabbit aswell. However, they would soon meet up with that group, who had only managed to get this far thanks to the lack of electricity. They somehow felt their way around to this point. Of course, they still could not see eachother at all, and Cream even tripped over Chris's body.

"What was that? I just tripped over something!", Cream said loudly as the sounds of the others came louder.

"Who cares? Where are we on the ship?", Rouge asked, through the sounds of the others. It was clear that they all would be in a massive pile or close grouping if the lights were on. That could be told from the sounds of others struggling to move while having to bump into others.

"I have no Idea.", Vector replied, "Never been here before, Eggman ya still with us?"

"Yes I am here, but I can not tell you where we are on this ship! Perhaps I could have kept the lights on and just shut down the Weapons instead.", the Doctor replied.

"Ya think?", Decoe and Bocoe said in unison in response to their creator. Luckily for the group, they would not be spending much time in the Darkness. This was because on the top of the ship, Shadow had reached his destination and the Elevator began descending back into the ship's main tower. As Shadow ran out with Helen, the daylight stopped him a bit, blinding him for a short time. Once it cleared, he could see the struggl clearly. There were Three G.U.N airships and a fleet of Robots engaging the forces of Scrap Brain. Both sides were facing losses, but the Airships were blasting away at Scrap Brain. Without weapons, the Eggman fortress could not respond, only be defended by it's robots. Metal Sonic and Silver Sonic 2 both could be seen fighting alongside the Egg Robos and against G.U.N, but of course all of this was of no concern to Shadow, he simply ran across the Deck, hoping to get to the jet in which he arrived. It was parked right at the center of the Deck of the ship. Of course, right as he and Helen reached it, the Jet exploded. Shadow and Helen both flew back. Luckily Helen landed on the Deck and not off of the ship itself, and Shadow landed on his feet with a flip. Shadow looked up and from the smoke and flames of his one escape, was Silver Sonic 2. The robot had a cold, icey stand off with Shadow. Shadow prepared for the battle. He was ready for any robot Egg Robo could possibly dished out. Even Metal Sonic too, the one he planned on slaying in the end.

"You are Shadow the Hedgehog, I presume?", Silver Sonic 2 spoke, "The Ultimate Lifeform."

"Yes, I am Shadow the Hedgehog.", Shadow stated, keeping his battle stance, "Don't you forget it either, even though you're going to be destroyed before you leave this ship."

"You are mistaken, it will be you that will perish to my power.", Silver Sonic 2 said back at Shadow. The two then glared at eachother. At least, Shadow glared at the robot. Then, the first strikes. Silver Sonic 2 flew directly into the air and used his fingers' energy blast projecticles at shadow. Shadow dodged all three rounds of this before firing back a Chaos Spear which Silver Sonic 2 dodged. Shadow then homing attacked Silver Sonic 2 but was tossed towards the ground. Shadow curled out of ball form just in time to stop himself from smashing into the deck. Once on Ground, Shadow fired two more chaos spears and homing attacked at Silver Sonic 2 once more. Silver Sonic 2 dodged the Chaos Spears but in this was hit directly by the homing attack and him and Shadow went directly down onto the deck. Shadow relentlessly punched Silver Sonic 2 as much as he could but Silver Sonic 2 fired energy projectiles at Shadow directly. Shadow got off of the robot to quickly dodge these. Silver Sonic 2 then tried something different, he curled into his spin dash form and lunged directly at Shadow. Shadow jumped out of the way and Silver Sonic 2 instead went directly into the air and then back down. Shadow saw this coming and dodged so Silver Sonic 2 went through the deck itself. Of course he came back up however, and soon him and Shadow were standing off with eachother once more. This time, it was Silent. Helen herself simply layed on the ground, watching the fight. It was after only three seconds of a stand off that the two relentlessly used their projectile attacks at eachother while dodging. Shadow's Chaos Spear and Silver Sonic 2's Energy Blasts. Of course, this caused damage to the deck at a severe level. It was at this middle portion of the fight that the group previously in the Scrap Brain came up using the elevator. They two were briefly blinded, but once that cleared, they saw the battle. They gasped at the sight and danger of Silver Sonic 2 and Shadow fighting while in the background a full on war was occurring.

"Silver Sonic 2!", Eggman shouted out.

"And Shadow!", Rouge finished. Before any other members of the group could speak, a blast from Silver Sonic 2 came towards them. Shadow saw this and as the group scattered to avoid it, he fired a Chaos Spear directly at it and spin dashed at Silver Sonic 2. The robot was so busy firing that it was struck directly by Shadow, and the hedgehog engaging it followed this with a kick to the back of the head directly afterwards. Cream and Vector rushed over to Helen's aid as the fight intensified. Rouge, Eggman, Decoe, and Bocoe watched the fight continue. As Vector and Cream helped Helen by carrying the paraplegic, Shadow was thrown by Silver Sonic 2 directly infront of the three. Silver Sonic 2 once more took aim. He was going to finish Shadow, no matter how much the Hedgehog fought back.

"Shadow, come on! Destroy that thing!", Cream cried out. She was hoping with pure desperacy that Shadow would get up and finish Silver Sonic 2. Luckily, her hopes came true. Right before the robot could fire his next shots, Shadow lunged at him in spin dash form and hit the machine right inbetween his eyes. Shadow followed this three constant Homing Attacks and then a powerful chaos spear. Silver Sonic 2 was sent crashing to the ground, and was even partially damaged as well. With Silver Sonic 2 temporarily defeated, everyone gathered towards Shadow as the war being fought around them continued. Shadow was about to send one final Chaos Spear at Silver Sonic 2, but to everyone's wonder Eggman had stopped him from doing so.

"Hold on Shadow, don't kill him!", Eggman stated. Everyone was suprised by this statement.

"What do you mean, Doctor?", Shadow asked, "That Robot tried to kill me, and you!"

"Yes, but only thanks to Egg Robo's programming.", Eggman explained, "Now If you don't excuse me, I'm going to reprogram this robot to follow MY orders instead."

"Wouldn't that be worse?", Vector pointed out. He did indeed have a point.

"Again, I am on your side for now. We are all working in the fight against that traitor Egg Robo!", Eggman exclaimed, "Now, you may all go. Leave with Silver Sonic 2, if I succeed in this I will not need your assistance anymore.", the Doctor then got to work on hacking into Silver Sonic 2's programming. Shadow turned to Vector and Cream. Vector was holding the still awake Helen in his arms.

"Wheres, Chris?", Helen asked, "What happened to him?"

"Chris? Ya mean that kid that was with Sonic?", Vector asked.

"Christopher Thorndyke?", Cream added.

"Yes! Where is he?"

"He, died.", Shadow reminded Helen, "He was shot while we were escaping from the halls. I saved you from suffering the same fate, I am sorry I could not save him.", Shadow folded his arms, he was not happy about losing Chris at all. Helen had tears beginning to run down her face, even Cream and Vector showed minor mourning for the human they knew so long ago. Suddenly though, the harsh reality seeked in. Metal Sonic. He could arrive at any second. Shadow remembered this first.

"You guys get out of here now, the other robot could come in at any second. You need to get Helen off of this ship now before he does!", Shadow exclaimed upon remembering the reality of Metal Sonic's exsistance.

"Shadow's right! We need to get out of here now!", Decoe stated with fear of Metal Sonic.

"Yeah! Let's go now!", Bocoe continued with further and maybe even more fear than that of Decoe. Cream agreed and used her ears to take flight. Vector grabbed on to her feet and thanks to her greater age Cream was able to carry Vector and Helen both off of the ship with Cheese following close behind them. It was at that very moment that Eggman sucessfully reprogrammed Silver Sonic 2 to be on his side. The Side Against his brother Metal Sonic. Silver Sonic 2's eyes lit up once more, and he stood. He was still damaged from his fight with Shadow, but the reunited group of Eggman, Decoe, Bocoe, Shadow, and Rouge looked on at their new partner.

"Completed, now Silver Sonic 2, take me off this ship would you?", Eggman asked. He was quite proud of reprogramming his robot back to his side.

"Yes, Doctor.", Silver Sonic 2 replied to his new master, "I will sir. Which Location do you wish for me to take you?"

"How about to the white house? I always wanted to be in there. It would also be a great place to think our plans out!", Eggman pointed out. Shadow and Rouge looked at eachother and nodded in agreement with Eggman. Rouge took off into the air and Shadow grabbed onto her hand to leave alongside her. Silver Sonic 2 grabbed Eggman by the arm as well and used his rockets to go into the air. Amazingly he was able to carry Eggman without trouble. As the Four took off into the air, Decoe and Bocoe grabbed hold of Eggman's feet and took off with him and Silver Sonic 2. As they left Scrap Brain at last, Metal Sonic arrived on the Deck. He simply looked at the sight of his brother Silver Sonic 2 leaving Scrap Brain, he was not pleased with this upperhand given to the opposing side. Of course, Egg Robo dished out orders before Metal Sonic could do anything.

"Alright Metal", Egg Robo said through a communicator inside Metal Sonic, "I have found my way to the computer room, I will now reactivate power and weapons. Don't leave the ship, I need you alive!". As Much as Metal Sonic wanted to go after Silver Sonic 2, he also had to follow Egg Robo's orders.

"Yes, Master.", was all Metal Sonic stated as Egg Robo managed to bring back the power to Scrap Brain. As soon as this happened, the weapons completeley attacked the .G.U.N. forces. A Barrage of Missles, Bullets, and other military based weapons fired at the battleships. The Ships had severe amounts of damage, and all of their soliders were defeated within seconds. The Ships themselves were eventually destroyed, and Metal Sonic watched every bit of it. As the .G.U.N. forces continued to die, Metal Sonic walked back into the tower of Scrap Brain. He had plans, that were going to attempt in vanquishing this advantage for the heroes, at least, it had a big chance of doing so that is.
