Chapter Twenty-Eight "Eggman's Surprise"
Eggman could see a bright light appear that lit up the whole colony, when it was gone the person he thought was Shadow was gone, along with his chaos emerald.
Eggman rubbed his eyes.
"Oh no! If that was not the real Shadow who was it?" said Eggman.
"Sir, there's another hedgehog waiting to see you." said E562.
"Oh what now? Is it Sonic?" asked Eggman.
A black hedgehog with red highlights came over.
"Shadow? Is it the real Shadow? If it is you'll have two chaos emeralds" said Eggman.
"I don't know what it is you're talking about Doctor, but here's the chaos emeralds I've collected." said Shadow showing his chaos emeralds.
"Shadow it is you, well maybe you can shed some light on my problem, a moment ago I could have sworn it was you that came over and took my chaos emerald." said Eggman.
"Took your chaos emerald? Doctor what are you talking about?" asked Shadow.
"Well YOU just came and took my chaos emerald but it wasn't the REAL YOU I guess, but it looked just like you." said Eggman.
Shadow was puzzled.
"you said you needed a chaos emerald to find the ones you lost, I thought it was you Shadow, I think it was tricking me to get my chaos emerald, and now its gone." said Eggman.
"It looked just like me? Which way did it go?" asked Shadow.
"That way." said Eggman pointing.
"Here's your chaos emeralds Doctor, I'll be back when I retrieve your other one." said Shadow handing Eggman the chaos emeralds then turning and heading the way Eggman pointed.
Shadow saw a light coming from somewhere he began to follow it.
Spike was running with his team behind doing the same, poor tired Tails was chasing behind.
"Spike can I help the fox? I know he's an enemy but he's awful hurt." said Jewels.
"If you're on my team you'll know I have no time for helping my enemies." said Spike.
"And besides, I don't think the fox is why you want to stay." added Power.
"What do you mean?" said Jewels.
"You're wondering where Rex has gone off to." said Power.
"That's not true, that dummy's the last thing on my mind, right now I'm worried about the fox, he's hurt and if he keeps trying to keep up with us he's not going to make it, he may not survive." said Jewels in a whisper so Tails couldn't hear.
Spike stopped.
"I've had enough with this." said Spike turning to Tails.
"Get your nose out of my business or I'll have to use force, I was able to put up with you tagging along but no more." said Spike.
"All I'm asking is what you're up to, do you have something to do with Sonic going missing?" said Tails.
"I need to find that hedgehog that gave me this scar, I am not going to stop looking for him until I know he's paid his price, that's all the information I'll give you, now get lost before I loose my patience." said Spike.
Tails turned around and went the other way but looked back when he saw smoke.
"What? What's going on?" said Tails running back.
