1 Chapter 3
Gerald's Plan
Prof. Gerald typed, with a sad and heavy heart, at his diary:
"I found Maria's name among the list of those who died when the A.R.K. was shut down. She meant everything to me, and I couldn't bear the thought that she died because of my research. I lost everything! I had nothing more to live for! I went insane! All I could think about was to avenge her, somehow, someway. I got scared, as I was no longer able to control my thoughts. I could think about was how I wanted it all to end."
Gerald saved and removed his diary from the console. As he put it away, he recalled the events that happened when he found out about Maria's fate!
*Flashback*
Gerald looked down, after his huge outburst. The soldier walked towards him and said, "I am sorry, but she…" He was interrupted when a huge beaker flew past his head. "GET OUT!!!" yelled Gerald. "But, but…Gerald", stammered the soldier. An angry Gerald yelled, "Get out you ungrateful human! I worked hard on projects to help benefit mankind, and THIS IS WHAT I GET!!!" With that he threw another beaker.
The soldier quickly pressed on the com-link an yelled, "Attention, We have Code 3, I repeat, we a an out of control person here. I think the person here needs solitary confinement."
Minute's later dozens of other soldiers came in to the room and began restraining the Professor. "Sorry Professor", one of them said, "but it is for your own good!"
Hours later, Gerald brooded in a holding cell. He still had his rage built up inside, and his mind full of hatred. All he could think about was getting rid of the humans, and avenging his daughter.
"There is nothing left for me", said Gerald, "except for me to avenge Maria! But how, how do I get rid of these humans." As he thought it hit him, his last invention. "Of course, the Eclipse Cannon!"
He found a piece of chalk, lying in one of the corners, and he began drawing the scematics, formulas and calculations around his cell.
*End Flashback*
Gerald was happy that the military let him out, after he calmed down, and let him continue his work. Gerald was at work at a new machine, a transporter. This machine would allow him to tap into the A.R.K. systems and teleport there. However, he knew he couldn't do it alone.
This thought of this made him wonder, What ever happened to Shadow.
***
The city was full of hustle and bustle that morning. Everyone was so busy that no one noticed a black hedgehog was walking among them.
Interesting place, thought Shadow. He had been wondering for some time, trying to find some clue to what Maria wanted him to do. He had searched and searched until, he had came apon this city. He thought that perhaps his answer was here.
Well here he was, roaming the streets like a rabid animal (no offense). Just as he turned his head, he noticed someone throw a newspaper away into the trash. He quickly retrieved it.
On it was written: "A.R.K. Shut Down!"
Shadow quickly read the article: "The Space Colony A.R.K was shut down and evacuated immediately because of a terrible laboratory accident!" "Yeah Right", scoffed Shadow. He continued reading the article: "One of the many to evacuate was the famous scientist, Prof. Gerald Robotnik. All he said was, 'I have no regrets, except I have to leave my work behind!' Gerald is now continuing his work at the military base called Prison Island…"
"Gerald's alive", exclaimed Shadow, "He is the only one that can help me now. All I have to do is go to Prison Island."
He looked and searched for someone that can tell him how to get to Prison Island. He grabbed the nearest person and yelled, "Where is Prison Island?"
***
Meanwhile at Prison Island, the General was busy at his desk, when a fellow cadet ran into the room, out of breath.
"Sir, we have a problem!" "What is it", groaned the General. "Remember that black hedgehog that escaped on the Space Colony!" "What about him", the General asked. "Well he is alive and is here, causing trouble in the city", yelled the cadet. "What", yelled the General, "Stop it, and capture it alive!'
***
The soldiers from G.U.N. moved on the scene. The hedgehog was destroying the city, building to building. He stopped when he saw the soldiers. "WHERE IS PRISON ISLAND?" he demanded. The response was several tranquilizer darts. A few hit him and he fell unconscious.
****
Gerald was trying hard to think up a solution to his little problem. "Where can I find help", he said, "I can't trust these soldiers and Shadow is…"
He suddenly heard a familiar voice yell, "Let me go! I have a promise to fulfill!" Gerald looked out and saw a handcuffed Shadow ushered by some gaurds.
He gasped and said, "He is my only chance. I must get him!"
***
Shadow was taken into some sort of office. He was thrown to the floor. He looked up and saw a familiar face. It was General Motack.
He gleamed at Shadow and said, "Well, if it isn't that hedgehog that ran away from me on the A.R.K." "Unfortunately", said Shadow. "Yes", continued Motack, "unfortunate for you! You are a threat if our enemies get their hands on you, so therefore I hereby…" "STOP", yelled a familiar voice. Shadow looked and, to his delight, there stood Professor Gerald.
"General", he said, "Shadow has just been on our planet for a while, and, unlike that lizard that is on the A.R.K., he has a good mind. I strongly request that you give custody and responsibility of Shadow." The General looked at his friend and said, "Under normal procedures I would refuse, but you, being the worlds most respected scientists, I accept. However, if he makes one false move, you will regret it!" "Yes General", said Gerald and he and Shadow left the room.
Once they where back in his lab, Shadow explained everything that happened on the A.R.K., how Maria died, how she jettisoned him and how he ended up here. "I see", said Gerald, "Anything else?" "Yes", responded Shadow, " before she jettisoned me, she made me promise her something, but when my pod crashed, the shock from it resulted in giving me momentary amnesia. As a result, I don't remember what it was she promised me."
This gave Gerald the right idea. "Shadow", he said, " I know what it was she asked you to do." Shadow jumped at this, "You do! What was it?" Gerald smiled and said, "She asked you to avenge her death. You see you told me she said to 'do it for her' and 'for all the people on this planet' so it all makes sense." Shadow looked a tad puzzled, "It doesn't sound like her, but you raised her and know her better than me so I believe you." Then he looked up and said, "Maria, I now know what it was you wanted me to do, and I will promise you I will fulfill it. I promise you…REVENGE!" Gerald smiled at this.
Suddenly Shadow looked worried and said, "How do we do it Gerald, it could take us years to wipe out everyone on this planet!" Gerald laughed and said, "My dear Shadow, I have a plan to do so. First you remember my last invention I made on the A.R.K." Shadow said, "The Eclipse Cannon." "Yes, it was near completion when we evacuated." Then showing him the transportation device he said, "Using this, we will travel to the A.R.K. and finish the last parts of it."
"Interesting", said a now sly and (thanks to Gerald) cold Shadow, "but what if we are caught and executed?" Gerald pointed to one of the monitors and on it was a computer overlooking a pit with a strange capsule that was raised over it. "I anticipated the small possibility we might meet again. So I made this special chamber for you in the core of the base. It would put you to sleep until someone enters the password and inserts a Chaos Emerald into the console. You would trick that person into helping you carry out Maria's and ours will."
Shadow again thought it over and asked, "Yes, but what if the Cannon becomes congested or malfunctions, then we would have been in vain." Gerald gladly responded, "I anticipated the small chance that might happen. If that ever occurred, a special program would activate and would move the energy into the core, making it extremely explosive. Plus the A.R.K. would jet itself on a collision course to earth, and when it crashes, it will blow the planet to pieces."
"Very intriguing plan", said Shadow, "Very well, I shall help in any way that I can." "Good", said Gerald.
*3 days later*
Space Colony A.R.K.
Shadow waited impatiently on the A.R.K. for Gerald. It has been 3 days now and the construction of the Cannon and the backup was nearly complete.
The teleportor suddenly whized to life and after a bright flash Gerald appeared. He gleefully stepped of the teleportation platform and said, "Sorry I am late but I had to get this from the vault!" He held out the familiar gem that Shadow saw only days before. "The Chaos Emerald", Shadow said. He looked up and said, "Gerald, I know these Emeralds are important to our cause but why these gems." "Gerald explained, "Well Shadow, as you know these Emeralds were used to create you and the Biolizard, and I used them to help create the Eclipse Cannon, but these have a huge mystery behind them. They can give off tremendous energy and can give great power." He paused for a sec then said, "And according to a legend that when all seven are together, their power creates a miracle." Shadow gasped, "You mean there are six more emeralds out there." "Yes", said Gerald, "There is also rumored to be a Master Emerald, that has enough power to stop the energy from the Chaos Emeralds, but I don't know the details. Well enough said let's get to work."
In the following hours, Gerald and Shadow used the Chaos Emerald to finish the hollows in the Central Control Room. Then Gerald later made the backup program on it.
When they just finished Shadow just happened to notice a door. He and Gerald were curious and so they decided to open it. Gerald hacked in the security system and opened it. They were greeted with a huge, "GROARRRRRRRRRRRR", from the Biolizard. "Nice to meet you too", Shadow said sarcastically. "Hello my creation", said Gerald, "Did you miss me." Suddenly, an idea came into his mind. "Shadow", he said, "how about we use our friend here to guard the core of the Cannon, incase anyone makes it through the security and tries to destroy the core." Shadow said, "I think that is a great idea!"
The next day, Gerald brought a mind-programming computer. Using it he tapped into the Biolizards brain cells, making it think that it's mission is to serve it's master by remaining encapsulated inside the core, until his services where needed. He also made a sub-command in its brain that if the anyone succeeds, the Biolizard would use its Chaos Control powers to combine with the colony to keep it on its course towards Earth.
His programming complete, he let the Biolizard transport itself into the core, where it would stay. "Well we are finished", said Gerald, "now all we have left to do is to find the other 6 Chaos Emeralds."
1.1 Prison Island
A guard was making his rounds around Gerald's laboratory. He passed by at first but then he began to wonder what was up with him and that hedgehog, Shadow, over the past several days. He unlocked the door and entered the lab.
He gazed around the room. Suddenly, his eyes took notice of a picture on the wall. On the wall was the Professor's granddaughter, Maria Robotnik. He must miss her, he thought. He touched the painting just to get a better look, then suddenly, the wall opened, revealing the transporter.
He stepped towards the transporter to see what it was, and he noticed the coordinates led to, "A.R.K.!" He began to wonder, what he was doing up there. Just then the machine whirred to life, and a beam of light appeared on the platform. Before he knew it, Gerald and Shadow materialized.
Gerald saw him, as did Shadow. Before they could do anything the guard ran out yelling, "Security, security! Get here quick!"
"We're done for", exclaimed Shadow. "No, we still have the chamber. I may get killed, but will live to carry it out", said Gerald. Quickly he gave Shadow the Chaos Emerald. "Shadow, quickly use your powers now!" Shadow nodded. He held the emerald in front of him and yelled, "Chaos Control!" In an instant, he and the Professor vanished.
