Amazon Rainforest, Eggman's Tower Base, 8:40 am
"You know, I can handle a lot of things, but when pathetic life forms such as yourselves infiltrate my base…that's going over the limit.'' Mecha threatened.
"Your threats mean nothing Mecha!'' Jenny snapped.
"Oh, they don't, well then.'' he armed his left arm Gatling gun.
Brandy fired a round of her shadow rifle at his power source. He flinched in pain, he put his hand on the spot, then looked back up.
"Quite smart of you to attack first, but, quite foolish to use a weapon against me!'' Mecha armed his chaos cannon.
Omega moved Jenny out of the way, he fired three rockets at Mecha. Mecha teleported, he reappeared behind omega and tackled him into the wall. Mecha threw him through the roof, pointed his cannon up and fired. The blast impacted and ran around omega, throwing him through five more floors.
Mecha retracted his cannon then looked at the others. "Would another one of you try to attempt to attack me?'' he asked raising his fists.
Suddenly Omega landed right on top of him. Omega grabbed one of his quills and tossed him straight through the right wall, making Mecha fall into another room. "Hurry!'' Omega waved his hand at the others.
The three headed for the hole in the wall, Brandy and Mr. Whiskers hurried out first, but Jenny stopped, looking up at Omega with worry. She jumped and wrapped her arms around his neck. She then kissed him on the side of the head. She let go, looking up at him. "Please…be careful Omega.'' she said.
"Roger.'' Omega replied, nodding his head.
Jenny ran out the hole and caught up to Brandy and Mr. Whiskers. Omega turned back towards the hole he tossed Mecha through. Mecha grabbed onto the wall, his sharp claws dug into it. He then walked out of the room, glaring angrily at Omega.
"You should've ran like a coward Omega, is that how your so called 'friends' act?'' Mecha marched into the room.
"Your days of harming and destruction will end Mecha WereSonic, prepare yourself.'' Omega said, hovering off the floor, then arming his Gatling guns.
"Trust me Omega…'' Mecha hovered off the floor with his jetpack, arming his Gatling guns, "I plan to end it soon enough Omega, I guarantee it.'' Mecha responded.
The two shot upwards, crashing through floor to floor. At the same time both began to fire their Gatling guns at one another. Both took the bullets, but it seemed Omega took much more damage. Omega quickly stopped on one floor, Mecha continued flying up. Omega hovered and landed on the floor, he retracted his Gatling guns for his hands. Suddenly Mecha came crashing diagonally through the ceiling and tackled Omega, breaking through the floor.
The two crashed and landed in a wide silver hallway. Omega was smashed against the wall, then pounded head first into the floor. Mecha stomped his foot on hic back. "You are strong Omega, but not strong enough.'' Mecha commented. Omega pointed his flamethrowers up at him and fired. Mecha backed away, omega kept marching closer to exceed the heat. Mecha teleported making Omega cease his barrage of flames. He extended his hands back out and kept them clenched.
Omega looked left and right with his eyes, keeping his sensors on at all times. From below, Mecha's hand grabbed omega's leg. Omega shook his foot wildly trying to free himself from Mecha's tightening grip. Omega pointed both his empty arms down at the floor. Purple glows formed from within. The two powerful beams of energy ripped through the floor and forced Mecha into the ground. Omega jumped into the hole in the ground. With a clank, he landed on the floor. Mecha looked at omega while on all fours. Omega armed his Gatling guns and fired away. Mecha put his arms up in defense.
The bullets began to dent into his armor. Mecha growled, he armed his rocket arms and fired two out of both barrels of each rocket arm. Omega fired and destroyed the first two, but the other two impacted and sent omega crashing through three metal walls. Omega bumped against one wall, then slumped to the ground. Mecha came flying through the holes and rammed his foot into omega's chest. Mecha picked him up.
"What more can you do? Why not give up now instead of dying?'' Mecha said.
"Will sacrifice to protect friends.'' Omega answered.
Mecha shook his head. "That's the kind of attitude that makes me do this.''
Mecha pointed his Gatling gun to his face. Omega grabbed the Gatling gun barrel and swung Mecha to the ground. Omega was released from his grip and fired his energy blasts at Mecha. Mecha was sent flying across the ground, making a clear straight swath down the floor of the hallway. Omega lifted off the floor and dashed down the hall. Mecha jumped up and gave omega a quick uppercut.
Mecha teleported in front of him while Omega was dizzy. Mecha raised his fists over omega's head and smashed them down into his dome. Omega smashed through the metal floor, smacking into the one below. Mecha hovered over the floor, he dropped himself, the spikes under his shoes came at omega. Omega rolled out of the way just in time. Mecha landed on the ground, staring at the ground, then turned his head at omega, who fired a rocket in his face. Mecha flew back across the floor. Omega charged at him, he lunged his fist down at Mecha. Mecha raised his arm up blocking the attack. Mecha then punched Omega in the chest, throwing him back down the hallway. Mecha grabbed his feet and lifted omega into the ceiling, then tossed the robot through the left wall. Omega bounced across the large room.
He looked around and noticed lots of crates and boxes, they were all filled with ammo, such as missiles, rockets, and even fuel cells to power Eggman's robots. Omega quickly looked in front of him to see Mecha charging fast with his jetpack. Omega jumped to the left, turning around in the process. Omega fired five rockets at Mecha. Mecha flew up the wall, the missiles exploded in a trail behind Mecha. Mecha then dived down at Omega. Omega leaped off the ground at Mecha. Both punched each others fists, sending both far back. Omega landed back on the ground safely. Mecha extended his chaos cannon and immediately fired the terrible weapon.
Omega flew to the left, he headed up to Mecha's flank. Mecha pointed the cannon at him again, but omega already punched Mecha in the face. Mecha hovered backwards, he retracted his cannon. Omega sent another punch at him, but Mecha flew back from it. He then charged at omega, omega flew up, dodging his attack. But Mecha teleported above him and kicked both his feet into omega's dome. Omega went spiraling and impacted into the ground.
Mecha hovered down in front of him. Omega crawled out of the small crater he lay in, he slowly got to his feet, looking dizzy. Mecha did a short laugh.
"You never cease to amaze me Omega, it makes me wonder how Eggman built you so strong.'' Mecha said.
"That's true, I will not allow you to harm my friends.'' Omega said.
"Oh, and what makes you think you can stop me?'' Mecha asked curiously.
"Because I'M THE MOST POWERFUL EGGMAN ROBOT EVER!!!'' Omega thundered, raising his clenched fists.
Mecha growled angrily. "Your grandstanding will get you killed, and I'm just the guy to do the job.'' Mecha said, arming his Gatling guns and fired.
Omega fired the shots of his laser blasts. Mecha was thrown into a box of ammo crates. Omega quickly armed his rocket launcher and fired three rockets at Mecha's position. The three rockets culminated with the ammo and made a huge explosion. Fire and smoke mixed as the cloud reached up to the ceiling.
Omega armed his rocket launchers. In the smoke, Mecha's glowing yellow eyes and glowing red power source illuminated. "You're going to regret you ever done that Omega.'' Mecha threatened, as the smoke finally cleared.
"Let's see who's the real ultimate robot.'' Mecha said marching forwards, staring down Omega.
Omega's eyes glowed more red. Mecha armed his rocket arms and pointed the weapons at Omega. Omega aimed his at Mecha. Suddenly, from both of the fierce robots, ten rockets fired out from Omega's rocket launchers, and ten launched out from Mecha's rocket arms. The high speed explosives collided with each other. The two flew through the smoke, with a fist ready, the two just inches away, the brawl continues. With fierce determination from Omega and ruthless aggression from Mecha, who will win this free for all battle between two of Eggman's most powerful robots? Can Jenny and the others get the data of Eggman's super weapon to military hands in time to stop another world wide catastrophe? Or maybe it's too late. Who knows what will happen next in The Dimensional War.
Avatar Dimension, Wan Shi Tong's Library, 9:30 am
The heroes were surprised and shocked at the same time to see Azula once again. "Well, well, well, isn't it the avatar and friends, and Zuko…it's good to see your ugly scarred face again.'' she said.
Zuko growled and attempted a charge, but Shadow blocked his way. Shadow nodded no, so Zuko stepped back.
"You! Who are you suppose to be?'' Azula said, referring to Shadow. "Shadow, Shadow The Hedgehog. You must be that crazed princess who always loses, am I right?'' Shadow said.
Azula gritted her teeth, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH! You will listen to what I have to say.'' Azula snapped.
"I'm not in a good mood, so you better move out of the way, or am I just gonna' have to do it the hard way?'' Shadow said angrily.
"I said…SHUT UP!!!'' she fired a huge blue fireball.
Shadow put one hand out, the fireball stopped right in front of him. He waved his hand, making it vanish. Azula was taken back by this. Jolts of golden electricity came from Shadow's hand. "Would you like to try again?'' Shadow said.
Azula huffed, "No matter, you still have no chance.'' she protested.
"What makes you say that Azula?'' Zuko spoke up.
"I am working with an old nemesis of Shadow, Dr. Eggman.'' she smirked evilly.
Shadow narrowed his eyes. "Such a weak will you have, no wonder you'd go crawling to Eggman.'' Shadow said with his arms crossed.
"He's not the one who rescued me.'' Azula answered.
"Who did then?'' asked Aang.
"A person who looks just like him.'' Azula pointed to Shadow. Shadow widened his eyes, it was Mephiles who saved her from prison.
"You set Azula free!'' Zuko exclaimed at Shadow.
"I didn't, she's talking about Mephiles.'' Shadow said.
"Your lying!'' Zuko yelled.
"No, he's not.'' Toph said.
"What?'' Zuko said confusingly.
"Shadow didn't set Azula free, he's telling the truth.'' Toph confirmed.
"Thanks Toph.'' Shadow said looking at her, then looked back at Azula.
"It was Mephiles, wasn't it?'' Shadow asked.
"Indeed it was. He told me if I wanted to rule and dominate the world…I of course agreed.'' she smirked.
"How will helping the creature responsible for bringing the end of the whole earth! Help you?'' Shadow exclaimed.
"That's just it, I want this pathetic world to end, and with the help of Eggman, we will conquer all your pitiful worlds! And nothing will stand in our way!'' Azula yelled, then laughed evilly.
Shadow had no change in expression at all, he just felt pity, pity for the act of ruling over the world, using Iblis to do it. "Your worlds are coming to an end, you have no chance, our armies are rising…oh, and I must add, without your poor Sonic The Hedgehog around…you have no chance of winning this war!'' Azula spoke.
"You're going to pay for what you did Azula, I promise you that.'' Shadow said.
"Your words mean nothing!'' she snapped, feeling brave enough to back talk the ultimate life form.
A red aura formed around Shadow. Azula was taken back. "You may outnumber us, but you are severely outmatched!'' Shadow yelled.
"That's what you think.'' Azula said snapping her fingers.
Wan Shi Tong's eyes shot open. Metal arms placed pieces of armor on his wings, covering them. A helmet with a cybernetic eye covered half of his face. A chest plate placed on his chest, in the middle the glowing red orb lit. The cybernetic eye glowed red. The giant owl broke through the glass and stopped behind Azula and her robot fire benders.
"Whoa.'' Sokka said, pointing at the new Wan Shi Tong.
"Prepare to die.'' Azula said.
Shadow made his sword appear in his right hand. A red aura glowed around it, it resonated brightly. The gang got in fighting stances. "Destroy them.'' Azula said before walking through the crowd of robot fire benders, that cleared a way for her.
The robot fire benders sealed the path in between them, their glowing orange eyes locked onto our heroes. Wan Shi Tong let out an echoing screech.
Shadow narrowed his eyes, "Let's fight.'' he muttered. What a turn of events! With our heroes surrounded by robot fire benders and a giant cybernetic powered owl, will our heroes rally their foes? Can they escape the library alive? More suspense and action will come as the Dimensional War continues!
Amazon Rainforest, Eggman's Tower Base, 8:55 am
Omega slammed against a wall then ducked as Mecha fist lodged into the wall above him. Omega grabbed his wrist and twisted it behind Mecha. Mecha teleported away freeing himself from omega's grip. Mecha reappeared by ramming omega into the silver metal wall. Mecha grabbed him by his back and continuously smashed omega into the wall, ten times to be exact. Mecha slid omega across the ground, while arming his chaos cannon. Omega bumped against the wall at the end of the hallway. Glowing red energy built within Mecha's chaos cannon.
Omega jumped to his feet, charging his laser blasts. Mecha waited no longer and fired the wide spread beam of chaos energy. Omega fired his laser blasts. The two forces of energy collided. Now in a battle of strength, the two tried to overwhelm the others laser blast. Mecha started walking forwards, while still firing. Omega then released half his energy. His lasers grew bigger and went right through Mecha's chaos cannon blast. The two combined lasers smashed against Mecha, sending him crash through five walls until stopping. Omega climbed through each one to reach him. Debris littered across the ground.
Mecha noticed a sharp shard of metal on the ground. He reached for it and concealed it. Omega grabbed Mecha by one of his metal quills. But mecha quickly turned around and stabbed the shard of metal in omega's arm. Omega backed away, holding the shard of metal. Mecha got up, he grabbed a flipped over table and swung it at Omega. Omega looked to see the table smack him right in the face. Omega was flung across the floor until he came to a stop.
Mecha marched over to Omega's body. Omega was laying on his side, he was taking out the metal shard in his arm.
"Truly weak, I told you had no chance against me.'' Mecha said stopping in front of Omega.
"Then again, you still are strong, but this is where it ends for you!'' Mecha raised his fists over his head.
Omega rolled on his back and stabbed the metal shard right through Mecha's fist. Mecha stopped and backed away in pain. Mecha roared in agony. "You bastard.'' Mecha muttered angrily, taking the shard out, then marched quickly over to omega. Omega swiped his arm at Mecha's legs causing him to trip. Omega got up and tossed Mecha into the ceiling. Then omega lifted off the ground and as soon as Mecha aligned with him as he fell, Omega sent a punch to his power source.
Mecha bashed against the wall. Omega charged at Mecha with high speeds. Mecha jumped forwards, feet first. Omega swung around him, Mecha flew past him and landed on his feet. Mecha turned back around, but omega gave him a punch to the chin. Mecha did a back flip and landed face first to the floor. Mecha got back up, omega came charging again. Mecha swung his fist into omega's face, making omega slide across the floor on his back. Mecha teleported in his path and sent his foot into omega's dome, throwing back across the floor. Mecha teleported in his path again. Mecha grabbed Omega and picked him up. Mecha tossed him threw a wall. Omega rolled across the floor of a new room. Mecha marched on through into the room. Omega tried to get up with the use of his arms, but Mecha stomped his foot onto omega's back, forcing him to stay down.
"Look what you get, all you have is just yourself, you have no friends or even allies, your weak!'' Mecha kicked him across the floor.
Omega attempted to get up, the creaking noises coming from the machinery within him sounded. Mecha slammed his fist on his back, forcing omega to drop again. "Your arrogance is annoying, not to mention very stubborn.'' Mecha said.
Mecha then lowered his head in front of Omega's. "What makes you think you're the strongest Eggman robot? By what I see, I'm surprised your not a pile of junk yet.'' Mecha said, but as soon as he said his last word, Omega's hand grasped him by the throat.
Omega then got to his feet. His eyes glowing more red than ever. "Get ready to regret that Mecha.'' Omega said.
Omega extended a cannon out of his arm. Omega fired it right into Mecha's chest, throwing him to the other side of the room, which was ten feet. Omega fired more of the explosive shots from his ballistic cannon. Mecha quickly teleported. He reappeared behind Omega. Omega jumped forwards, turning around in the process. He fired three shots from his ballistic cannon. Mecha flinched by each shot that hit him. Omega retracted the cannon and charged with his fist ready. Mecha's head was lowered. He looked back up, but omega's fist went right across his face. Mecha spun onto the ground. Omega grabbed his ankles, but Mecha fired a rocket right into omega. Omega was flung back and batted against a wall. Mecha armed his chaos cannon, he fired it quickly. Omega fired up his jet boosters and launched into the air. Mecha retracted the cannon back inside. He readied his jetpack and in seconds he was in the air.
The two faced each other in mid air. Omega armed and started to charge his laser blasts. Mecha huffed, he extended his chaos cannon. Mecha fired his, but omega already lifted higher and fired his lasers down at Mecha. The blasts knocked Mecha back to the ground, landing on his back. Omega extended his hands back out. Suddenly, from the smoke cloud that surrounded where Mecha crashed, a red laser blast shot up quickly and hit omega. Omega smashed against the ceiling and fell back down. Mecha flew up under him. Mecha punched his fist into omega's stomach, throwing him back up against the ceiling. Mecha catched Omega and spun him around in three circles, then let go. Omega spiraled down and smashed into the metal floor with a loud clank.
Mecha hovered down and landed in front of where omega lay. Smoke crowded around where omega crashed. "Come on out Omega, I'm waiting.'' Mecha said, arming his Gatling guns.
Suddenly omega shot out from the top of the smoke cloud and dived down at Mecha. Omega grabbed him by his neck and flew towards the wall. Omega crashed right through it, leading outside. The two were in a freefall. Omega and Mecha exchanged punches toward each other. Mecha grabbed one of his fists. Mecha smashed his fist into omega's face. Omega punched him in his power source, making a slight crack in it. Mecha felt it and growled. Mecha grabbed omega by his head. Omega grabbed one of his quills and tossed Mecha back into the tower. Mecha crashed through the wall, there was ammo and explosive crates all around him. Mecha looked to the hole and saw Omega hovering outside it. Omega charged at him, Mecha grabbed his wrists and pulled him to the ground.
Omega fired a quick laser blast to Mecha's chest, throwing him further into the room. Omega hovered back to the exit. Omega turned around and fired a single rocket at a explosive crate next to Mecha. Mecha saw it coming and grabbed the missile in flight, then teleported. He reappeared behind omega. Omega turned around to see Mecha lunging at him. Omega jumped backwards, Mecha coming down at him. Omega flew around Mecha to his back. Omega quickly aimed his rocket launcher and fired another at the one Mecha was holding. Mecha turned around, the rocket hit the rocket he was holding.
Down on the ground, Jenny, Brandy, and Mr. Whiskers finally got out. "You think Omega's okay?'' asked Brandy.
But suddenly a huge explosion occurred within the middle of the tall tower. The three heroes looked up at the tower starting to fully explode. Falling from it was a damaged Omega. He slammed to the ground in front of them, sparks of electricity coming from his body. Jenny quickly picked him up and put his arm over her shoulder, she fired her jets out of her pigtails and accelerated forward, with Brandy and Mr. whiskers following closely behind.
The whole tower base erupted in flames and a plum of smoke rose into the air. The remains of the tower dropped onto the ground. In the midst of the tower, flames were surrounding all the debris. Mecha rose out of the ground, breathing angrily.
"This isn't the end Omega, I promise you that.'' Mecha said. With our three heroes taking a damaged Omega, how will they be able to get the data to military hands? The heroes have to think of something quick before Eggman's robots find them, and they have to find a way to escape the Amazon Jungle, and fast.
Avatar Dimension, Wan Shi Tong's Library, 9:50 am
Shadow went straight through robot fire bender, tearing it in half. He jumped to the left, dodging a fireball. He threw his sword into the head of a robot fire bender. He jumped and grabbed the grasp, he pushed his feet against the robot's chest, making him jump back, with his sword in hand. Suddenly Wan Shi Tong landed behind him. Shadow turned around to the giant owl. It pointed it's metal wings down at him, but the there were large missiles attached to the metal wings.
Shadow swung his sword, a volley of chaos spears came out of it. Together, the missiles and chaos spears collided in an explosion. Shadow jumped back, skidding across the ground. Wan Shi Tong marched through the smoke and screeched loudly. Shadow fired his chaos spear beam at it's armor chest plate. Wan Shi Tong backed away, screeching in pain. It fired a red beam down at shadow from the cybernetic eye. The beam hit shadow and sent him flying back.
Sokka sliced his sword through the middle of two robot fire benders. One from behind knocked him to the ground. It put it's heavy foot on his stomach. It aimed it's hand at him. It's hand dropped open, Sokka could see fire building up inside. Sokka shut his eyes in fear. Suddenly a quick slash struck the robot. Sokka opened one eye, then he opened the other. The robot's torso slid off, the legs fell back. Katara was standing there with a water whip.
"Thanks for the save Katara!'' Sokka called, getting up.
Aang was running along a wall, then jumped toward a group of robot fire benders. Together, the five robots fired streams of fire at the avatar. Aang swung his staff, a blast of air, distinguishing the fire. Aang then smashed into the group, raising pillars of earth below the robot fire benders feet. They all went flying and crashed into the ceiling, eventually exploding. Aang turned around to Wan Shi Tong. Aang jumped to the left, dodging a strike from his beak. Aang raised a wall of earth out of the ground and launched it at Wan Shi Tong.
The wall smacked the knowledge spirit, throwing him into a wall. He screeched in anger, he fired another group of missiles from his metal covered wings. Shadow teleported in front of Aang and let out a barrage of chaos spears, destroying the missiles in flight. Shadow looked over his shoulder at Aang.
"I think it's time we get out of here.'' he said.
"Right.'' Aang nodded, heading for the large exit door.
"Guys! Come on!'' Aang called to the others.
Katara cut through two robot fire benders with her water whip, then headed for Aang. Toph leaped into the air, she spiraled down at a group of ten robot fire benders. She landed in the middle of them. The robot fire benders all aimed at her. From the left and right, she raised two huge earth walls. She raised a pillar of earth from under her feet, launching herself into the air. She then closed the two rock walls together, crushing the robot fire benders in between. She landed right in front of Aang and Katara. Zuko fired a wall of fire through five robot fire benders, causing them to explode. He ran through the smoke towards the gang, Sokka was following him closely behind.
Appa soared and rammed Wan Shi Tong into a wall, then the flying bison flew back over to the gang. Shadow teleported with them. "Okay, let's go!'' Aang said, running down the huge hall.
He looked behind him and saw Shadow wasn't coming. "Shadow! Come on!'' Katara called.
"You guys go…I'll hold them off.'' he said holding his sword.
Wan Shi Tong landed in front of him. "Let's see how strong you really are.'' he said.
Wan Shi Tong approached him and let out an echoing screech, right in front of his face. "Back off.'' Shadow muttered, letting out a chaos blast.
Wan Shi Tong scurried back, then lifted off the ground. Shadow took one step back. Wan Shi Tong lunged at him, shadow quickly sped under him. Shadow then released a chaos spear beam right into the owl's back. Wan Shi Tong crashed into the ground, sliding across the floor. Shadow ran over to him and leaped up over him. Wan Shi Tong sprang up and swung his large wing into shadow. Shadow smashed against a large bookcase knocking it down. Shadow teleported right in front of Wan Shi Tong's face and started punching him across his face. Shadow teleported above him. Shadow charged down feet first right into the owl's dome. Wan Shi Tong stumbled and bumped against a bookcase, knocking it down. Shadow jumped on his face.
"Let's get that cybernetic eye off you.'' Shadow reached for it, but it lit up red. Wan Shi tong grabbed Shadow in his mouth. Wan Shi Tong got back to his feet, starting to crush down. Shadow kept his hands on Wan Shi Tong's upper jaw, fighting to stop himself from becoming owl mulch. Shadow aimed his hand into it's mouth, it glowed gold.
"I can't do that, it's being under control by Azula, I don't want to harm it.'' Shadow thought to himself. He put his hand back on it's upper jaw. He started to crouch, as Wan Shi Tong's jaws were forcing him to do so. "I can't teleport, not enough energy.'' he thought to himself.
Suddenly a blast of fire hit Wan Shi Tong in the back. He screeched in agony, shadow then jumped out of his mouth. Wan Shi Tong turned around to see Aang and Zuko.
"Shadow! Hurry up!'' Aang yelled.
Shadow jumped for Wan Shi Tong's dome. He raised his fists high up, they glowed gold. He smashed them into the cybernetic mask over half of his face. Wan Shi Tong smashed into the ground head first by shadow's attack. Shadow leaped from his head and landed in front of Aang and Zuko. Shadow went back and ripped the cybernetic mask off Wan Shi Tong's face. Shadow then stepped back to Aang and Zuko.
"He'll be back to normal when he wakes up, let's go!'' Shadow said, running past them.
The three reunited with the others. They looked up to the enclosed ceiling. "Stand together.'' shadow said, raising his palm in the air. The silver chaos emerald appeared in his palm. It started to glow, "Chaos Control!'' he yelled.
The group of heroes teleported out of the library. The six heroes reappeared on the ground, in front of the hole where the library is buried. Shadow lowered his hand, he took in a deep breath. "That was close.'' Sokka stated.
"Way too close, if you ask me.'' Zuko added.
"What do we do now? We're lost in this huge desert! Again!'' Sokka exclaimed.
"Stop complaining! I have to think.'' Shadow said, putting a hand to his head. He sat on the rim of the giant hole where the library sunk in. He sighed, "I'm getting tired of this war.'' he mumbled.
"We all are Shadow, but you can't give up now!'' Katara said reassuringly.
"That's what you think, Eggman has too many resources, he has so many chances to win, the Death Egg, retrieving Sonic's transformation device, creating a huge army of unstoppable of clones! He has the edge on us.'' Shadow replied.
Katara and Aang shared a glance of worry, then looked back at Shadow. Shadow held his hand out, a picture appeared in his hand. It showed Kuki smiling, while hugging shadow, who looked a little bothered by it. Shadow grew a smile. Katara walked over and sat next to him.
"Who's that?'' she asked.
Shadow made the picture disappear in an instance. "A friend.'' he said, resting his arms on his knees.
Katara looked at him with an unsure look. Shadow looked at her with his left eye. "What?'' he spoke up.
"The Ultimate Life Form is worrying? I haven't seen you done that until now.'' Katara admitted.
Shadow huffed and looked out in front of himself. Katara smiled, she wrapped her arms around him. Shadow raised his eyebrows. The rest of the gang came, they all got in a group hug. Shadow looked at each of their smiling faces, except Zuko, who felt it was out of his nature to engage in a group hug.
Zuko sighed and joined the group hug. "We're with you Shadow all the way.'' Katara said.
"You can count on us quill boy!'' Toph said.
Shadow felt proud at this moment, maybe he should better understand the meaning of friendship. Suddenly a roar of an engine went over them. The gang separated from the group hug and saw a fleet of Fire Nation zeppelins. Shadow stepped in front of the group, narrowing his eyes, muttering: "Azula.''
"That's our lead out of this desert!'' Sokka pointed at them.
"Have you ever thought how we're going to get onboard them?'' Toph asked.
"Don't worry, I got the solution.'' Shadow said, holding the silver chaos emerald. "Chaos Control!'' he shouted.
The six heroes teleported on top of one of the zeppelins. Shadow made his sword appear in his hand. He cut a hole in the hull, he kicked down on it, dropping the circular piece inside. "Get in! Hurry!'' Shadow exclaimed. The five jumped in, shadow jumped in last. Our heroes infiltrated a Fire Nation zeppelin, the fleet probably led by Azula, where are they headed? Whatever plan Azula has in that crazed mind of hers, it most definitely involves attacking somewhere, and that somewhere is the Earth Kingdom Capital: Ba Sing Se.
