Ch.10: Countdown 'Till Choas!
The emeralds were in place, the cooridinates set, now all Fox needed to do was activate the cannon's firing sqeunce. A door suddenly slid open and Fox turned around at the sound. There standing in what light the door provided was Shadow. His red eye's glaring at Fox.
Shadow: What do you think your doing here?
Fox: Ah, you figured it out haven't you? I'm surpised that you didn't stay down there with your friend's like I planned.
Shadow: That fire you set on the Ark was all an illusion, just to make me leave, so you could use the Eclispe Cannon.
Fox: Congratulations Shadow I'm impressed. I guess you also know why I kidnapped your friend?
Shadow: You stole Knuckles and the Master Emerald to help your cause. You tried to get control of his mind so he would use the Master Emerald to power up the Eclispe Cannon.
Fox:clapping her hands I'm impressed Shadow. Unfortunely for you, the cannon is set to fire. Even without that stupid echidna, my master's plan to destroy your world will comense.
Unknowily to Fox "that stupid echidna" was listening to their conversation from a ventalation shaft with Sonic and Tails. Sonic and Tails didn't notice what Knuckles was doing until it was to late to stop him. Knuckles had ripped a hole in the metal shaft and dropped through it. He secretly stalked up behind Fox and punched. Fox fell forward, but Shadow seeing his chance ran to grab the emeralds. After punching Fox Knuckles headed for the Master Emerald. Sonic, Tails, and the others came out of there hiding places to surround Fox. Fox growled.
Fox: Zagarow! Master! Help me!
A burst of white fire shot down from above, surrounding everyone in a circle of flame. Shadow couldn't pry the emerald's from the machine's socket's and found himself trapped with the others in the circle of flame. A howling noise came from above and what looked like a white wolf with flaming wings tucked under it's arms dropped out of nowhere. He glowered at the sight of Fox.
Zagarow: You have failed Fox!
The wolf-like creature's eye's landed on Shadow, then Knuckles, down to Sonic and the restof the group.
Sonic: So your the big Boss of White Fire.
Zagarow: I am White Fire! The company would be nothing without me! Not even Ms. Black Fox! looked at her and explianed See my idea was simple use the Eclispe Cannon to destroy just like Robotink did. Only problem was that after the Black Arms were defeated Shadow decided to stay in the Ark. I rounded up Fox and put her on the mission to steal the choas emeralds, plus the Master Emerald, and it's Guardin. looks at Knuckles The first thing we tried to control his mind didn't work out as planned. So we tried using the dark choas emerald to get him to work for us instead. We almost suceeded hadn't you two intervined. pointing at Shadow and Sonic
We were planning on creating the ultimate weapon. With Knuckles under our control, he could've made the Master Emerald power up the Eclispe Cannon into the most dangerous weapon in the world.
Knuckles: To bad your plan didn't work.
Zagarow: Oh, I wouldn't go that far, thanks to Shadow your planet is doomed!
