Chapter Fourteen "Being Watched"
Tails walked slowly with Cosmo behind looking back a few times not completely trusting Leo yet.
He was distracted at the moment though there was a code that Cosmo may be able to decipher.
Cosmo smiled with glee in her eyes.
"Tails I can read this." said Cosmo. "Old data and new data's here. There are constant gaps in here but I think this message was resent apparently."
Cosmo began reading aloud. "Survivors…four…send ships, four still alive?"
"What could that mean?" said Tails. "Does that mean there are four Meterex still alive? That's impossible all the Meterex commanders are destroyed."
"There's more." said Cosmo fixated on the screen. "Enemies, sent me, black hole, four enemies, send ships."
"Four enemies…" Tails thought. "Wait a second."
Tails flinched as he caught sight of something; he twirled his tails going closer to the ceiling as he saw the camera there.
Tails gasped.
"They know we're here." said Tails.
Shadow quickly destroyed the camera with a quick. "CHAOS SPEAR!" and the little lightning bolts shot through him to the camera.
Shadow stood looking at the chaos emerald waiting for Cosmo and Tails to finish.
Leo sat down on the box watching Tails and Cosmo.
"Why don't I just use chaos control." Shadow realized.
"What's chaos control?" said Leo standing up.
Shadow looked oddly at him.
"You don't know what chaos control is?" said Shadow in a quiet voice.
"No." Leo said simply.
Shadow just turned on him not in the mood to talk.
Tails was about to repair the ship then realizing Shadow's idea would be a lot simpler.
The enemies were watching the entire time as were on their way as fast as they could to get there before the four left, they also realized the cameras were destroyed as Shadow used the emerald.
"Sir! They've recovered our chaos emerald!" the robot said franticly.
Red Pine banged his hand on the table.
"Without that we will not be able to go ahead with Dark Oak's plan!" he said angry.
"But sir, the planet was destroyed along with Lord Oak…how do you expect to make all the planets filled with no wildlife? It's impossible since the forestation project was destroyed." the robot said quivering at the sight of Red Pine's rage.
"I am not going to do that it's impossible now, I was first going to try his plan again but now I realize there's no point in that; I shall take all the chaos emeralds and with them I shall one by one wipe all life from the galaxy! If I can't wipe them all out with one blow from the master's old plan I shall wipe them all out with the power of the chaos emeralds!" he said taking over the controls himself.
Tails walked over to Shadow.
"Shadow will you use your chaos control and get us out of here." said Tails.
"Frankly I'm not in the mood to 'save' you." He said turning his back to Tails slowly.
Tails's eye twitched.
"Then why even suggest it!" he said. "Besides that the Meterex are bound to know we're here, it was because of me you made it out of space alive!"
"You two stop fighting!" said Cosmo. "This isn't going to get us out of this, frankly you two are beginning to give us all more problems then you're worth!"
Leo was wide-eyed.
"A fox with two tails who can build planes and a hedgehog with the power over the legendary chaos emeralds…yeah... not much in common."" thought Leo. "Well those two must have a confusing past behind them, I can tell there's something I wasn't told."
"Cosmo you may have been saved by Shadow before, but he once tried hurting you, don't think I forgot about how you thrashed me to the wall just because the Meterex were using Cosmo!" said Tails.
Shadow remained silent.
"I was ordered to take her out and if you remember I gave you a warning not to challenge me, you're lucky I even used the chaos emerald on her." said Shadow quietly as he had his back turned to an irritated Tails. "I wouldn't have if your balling wasn't so loud."
