SONIC ADVENTURE 2.
Part 8-Night time at Pumpkin Hill and the start of the Eggman Empire. By Ninetalesuk.

17.30pm. In a mountainous region.

(Afer 5 chapters, Knuckles and Eevee finally made their appearance again. The sun slowly settled
behind the mountains as the red echidna and the small brown fox-like Pokemon looked around).

KNUCKLES:This place sure feels haunted. I hope we don't run into any Ghost-type Pokemon like
Haunter or Gengar.
EEVEE:Vee...
KNUCKLES:There's no time to lose. We HAVE to hurry and find the Master Emerald..

(Watching them was a set of white figures, with a giant white figure).

GHOST 1:Is that him, boss?
BOSS:Yes.... The legend says that the red echdina with the moon crest on his chest and a creature
that can change into 5 other creatures will destroy ME! That will NEVER happen!!! Thats why I
call on you. The 10 Most Powerful Scaring Ghosts ever!!
GHOST 2:Thats us! Except... there are 3 more Ghosts that scares US....
BOSS:Yeah, yeah, I know, I know... Gastly, Haunter and Gengar. I wouldn't call on them.
GHOST 2:Why not?
BOSS:Because they can't hurt that Eevee since Ghost Pokemon attacks can't hurt Normal Pokemon
like that echdina's buddy! Now, hop to it! Whatever that echidna and his friend is doing, don't
give up till hes destroyed!
GHOST 3:Okay, boss! Your the ghost!

(Knuckles, with Eevee on his head, landed on a mountain).

KNUCKLES:Whats this area called? (Reads a sign) Church Mountain. Hmm... that could explains why
there are graveyards here....

(Knuckles closed his eyes and sensed a shard).

KNUCKLES:I know wheres the first shard of this place is, Eevee!
EEVEE:Vee?

(He walked towards a gravestone. Behind it was a ghost, holding the shard).

GHOST 1:When that echidna comes around to this side of the stone, THATS where I'll attack him!

(Knuckles pushed the gravestone and it fell onto the ghost! The emerald shard flew up and landed
on Eevee. A green glow covered the little animal. Knuckles picked the shard up and looked at his
little friend).

KNUCKLES:Are yo all right?
EEVEE:I'm fine... Hey, I can talk?!
KNUCKLES:I think it must be the energy from the Master Emerald! Don't worry, Eevee. At least I
can talk to you normally without hearing you go speaking your name again and again.
EEVEE:Good...
KNUCKLES:Heh..

(Knuckles picked Eevee up and placed him on his head and jumped off the Church Mountain where
he glided to another mountain. Underneath the gravestone Knuckles pushed, the ghost was able to
pop out and was dazed).

GHOST 1:Hes tougher than he looks!

(He fell down and disappeared. Knuckles landed on another mountain where there were tons and tons
of pumpkins! Eevee jumped off and looked at a sign).

EEVEE:This is called Pumpkin Mountain.
KNUCKLES:No kidding! Everywhere I look, theres pumpkins this and pumpkins that!
EEVEE:Remind me not to have any pumpkin pies when we get back to Angel Island.
KNUCKLES:Hahaha! Okay.

(Knuckles looked down and found another shard. While he walked towards it, the two ghosts were
nearby, holding a pumpkin each...)

GHOST 2:Heres the plan! We'll both attack him by covering his head with these pumpkins! While hes
getting them off! We'll attack!
GHOST 3:Great idea!!!!

(Knuckles bended down and picked the shard up. The third ghost appeared and threw the pumpkin).

GHOST 3:Take this!

(He missed. Instead, it hitted the second ghost with direct hit!!)

GHOST 2:Ow...!!! You fool!

(The second ghost vanished. The third ghost quickly hid behind a giant pumpkin as Knuckles looked
up after shrinking the shard and placed it into his glove).

KNUCKLES:What the...? Eevee, did you do that?
EEVEE:My paws are small and my Tackle isn't strong!
KNUCKLES:Hmm... somebody else is here. Come on, I got 2 shards from this place!
EEVEE:And one more to find in Pumpkin Hill!

(At Ghost Train Mountain, Knuckles and Eevee looked around the long forgotten train track).

KNUCKLES:The next one is around here somewhere.
EEVEE:Yeah, but where?

(Then, they heard a whistle. They looked behind to see a train heading their way. Driving it was
the third ghost).

GHOST 3:Prepare to meet thy doom, echidna! Hahaha!!!

(One problem though, Knuckles and Eevee weren't on the tracks. They were looking at the SIDE of
the tracks. The train missed them... A sweat-dropped from the ghost).

GHOST 3:Blast that echidna! Blast it! Blast it! Blas--- Uh oh...

(The train crashed into the mountain....)

KNUCKLES:Its a good thing no one was on it...
EEVEE:Yeah...

(Then, an emerald shard landed in front of Eevee).

EEVEE:Hey, Knuckles!!
KNUCKLES:The last shard! Boy, Eevee! This stage was easy. No one got hurt....

(As Knuckles and Eevee left... the third ghost climbed out...)

GHOST 3:Easy for you to say......

(The third ghost disappeared....)

ARK

(It was another memory of Shadow's.... He and Maria stood beside a giant window of the medical
room, watching the planet Mobius slowly turning...)

MARIA:Shadow, what do you think its like on Mobius?
SHADOW:The professor said that his life's work was dedicated to all of those who lived down
there. He once told that the reason for his existance was making people happy through the power
of science.
MARIA:Shadow...
SHADOW:Maria, I just don't know anything anymore...I often wonder why I was created. What my
purpose is for being here... Maybe if I go down there I...I will find the answers...maybe...
Maria...

(The scene slowly changed to where Maria and Shadow once stood. Instead... Shadow was looking
down at Mobius while Rouge called, interupting Shadow's thoughts...)

ROUGE:Why so melancholy? That was so unexpected, so unlike you, Shadow, to come and rescue me...
But your ability to use the Chaos Control certainly comes in handy!
SHADOW:Hmph. You know, I didn't come to save you. I came back for the Chaos Emeralds.
ROUGE:Yeah yeah, but that's not the whole story, is it?

(Their conversation finished when Robotnik entered the room, clearing his throat).

ROBOTNIK:Everything is ready to go!
ROUGE:Are you SURE? We only have 6 of the 7 chaos emeralds you know!
SHADOW:It's more than enough for the demonstration!

(Shadow walked past Robotnik and stood at the door, open his arm to show them to the door).

SHADOW:So let's get the show on the road!
ROBOTNIK:I like your style, Shadow! Haha! I know the perfect target to show these free citizens
what power the Eclipse Cannon has! Hahaha!!!

Day X. 18.00pm.

(All telivision signals and satilaitte transmissions were interupted. Those in Capital City
looked up as a large TV on a building flickered on, revealing mad doctor, Robotnik!)

ROBOTNIK:Citizens of Earth! Lend me your ears, and listen VERY carefully. My name is Dr. Eggman,
the world's GREATEST scientist, and soon to be the world's greatest RULER. Now witness the
beginning of the greatest empire of all time! Hahaha....

(All eyes all over the world turned to the sky, as out in space, what seemed to be a small meteor
burst apart, revealing the face of a person with a long mustashe. The needle nose opened up,
revealing a blue light. It fired a blue beam, which could clearly be seen from the surface, and
it struck the moon. Half the side heated up, and blew apart, leaving only half the moon. People
started shrieking in shock, as on the TV screens, a counter started counting down. 23:58:39. Was
this the end of Mobius? While the clock was counting down... the evil laughter of Robotnik echoed
throughout the city....)
