Chapter 9: To the Egg Fortress!
Shadow gazes at the clock as the others sleep.
"5AM and he hasn't arrived yet..." Shadow mumbled to himself. "Damn it, I figured I wouldn't get a break! I guess I'm going." Shadow hurries out the door.
At the Egg Fortress, the heart of the formally known Station Square.
The silver hedgehog makes his way to a balcony with mid-sized walls that overlooks the city and places T on a large table-like structure and attaches him to it, locking his wrist, ankles and waist.
"When Argman wakes up, he'll be ecstatic to know I caught one of them instead of killing them all!" Silver says with a smirk as he walks off.
"It's Eggman!" Silver somehow heard Eggman's voice say.
"Strange..."
With Shadow, outside in the city.
Shadow walks along the streets under the now lightly colored sky. He stops and glances at the Egg Fortress which is clearly visible almost anywhere in the city; being the tallest building, it overshadows every building nearby.
"Don't worry T, I'll come get you!" announces Shadow vigilantly. He begins skating really fast down the street. "Even if I don't know my way around here, it's pretty damn obvious where you are!" Shadow doesn't realize the little fly camera behind him.
Egg Fortress, security room.
D.R. is watching on the fly camera.
"I didn't think you were dumb enough to show yourself so soon Shadow." D.R. says with a grin. He presses some buttons.
The alarms began to ring loudly, they can be heard everywhere.
"Damn that was fast!" shouts Shadow angrily. Helicopter gunships began to appear.
"Halt! Failure to comply and we will be forced to fire, resistance is futile!" announces one of the robots piloting the gunships.
"I choose... the futile part!" Shadow is now moving just like Super Sonic by using the jets on the bottom of his shoes. The helicopters fire machines guns non-stop but Shadow has no trouble dodging them. He come across a steep road and to the left of it, a normal road. "Hmm, going up the hill would be the fastest way to the fortress but suicidal since it could slow me down and give the helicopters their chance, or I could take the really long way but still get chase by helicopters and get killed eventually... guess I gotta pick one." Shadow then leans forward and his shoes burst out a large amount of flames, giving Shadow twice as much speed. He goes up the hill, shifts his feet back on the ground and launches himself right into the helicopter's cockpit. The two robots which happens to be E-1000 robots turn to him and open fire. Shadow moves with incredible agility and smashes both of their heads together. Their bodies become electrified and spark out. Shadow is just about to let out a sigh when a scary thought strikes him. "THE HELICOPTER WILL FALL!" The helicopters communication activates.
"Pilot one, requesting visual on escaping prisoner!" says the robot. Shadow quickly handles the controls so it won't fall.
"Ok, how do I fly this thing?"
"Pilot one, requesting visual on escaping prisoner. Prisoner has appeared to have vanished." Shadow manages the control stick and turns the helicopter towards the other. Shadow then looks at the red button on it.
"Bad things happen when you press red buttons right?" Whoosh-BOOM! He presses the button and to his surprise the helicopter fired a missile right into the other cockpit decimating it completely. Shadow watches in awe at the sight of the falling debris. "Cool... I guess this is my ride!" He spots a button on the right of the stick. "Can't hurt to figure out what this button does!" he holds the button and the machine guns fire. "Alright! To the Egg Fotress, Shadow style!"
The helicopter flies sloppily towards the fortress.
