A STORY OF SHADOW.
Chapter 6:The Countdown to Earth's Destruction/Quest for 7th Chaos Emerald.... By Ninetalesuk.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:This story is getting better and better, right? It's gonna get even better. Here we
go! More memories of Shadow.
...... Everything is going the way I see it. We have 6 of the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Only one more and
my promise to Maria will be furfilled!
I stood at a huge window that overlooks the planet Earth. It looks so beautiful, yet I have a
small feeling that I shouldn't destroy it......
Staring at the Earth triggered a memory of me.... and Maria.....
I remember Maria's face reflecting in the glass and she and I watched the Earth slowly turning,
from the comfort of the room where I am standing today.
"Shadow, what do you think its like on Earth?" Maria asked me.
"The professor said that his life's work was dedicated to all of those who lived down there." I
said to her. "He once told that the reason for his existance was making people happy through the
power of science"
"Shadow..." Maria started....
"Maria, I just don't know anything anymore..." I said, sadly. "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..." I took one look at Maria....
Maria, my friend.... "Maria..."
"Why so melancholy?" A voice said, making me come out of my thoughts. I turned around to see
Rouge walking up to me. I simply turned back to look out of the window as she continued "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!"
"Hmph. You know, I didn't come to save you." I lied. I came back for the Chaos Emeralds.
"Yeah yeah, but that's not the whole story, is it?" Rouge said, not convinced.
Before we could continue our conversation, Dr. Eggman entered the room and coughed to get our
attention. "Everything is ready to go!"
"Are you SURE?" Rouge asked. "We only have 6 of the 7 Chaos Emeralds you know!"
Shes right. 6 of the emeralds won't destroy Earth. Maybe... we can do a little 'show and tell' to
the people of Earth.
I walked passed Eggman, saying "It's more than enough for the demonstration! So let's get the
show on the road!"
I stood with Rouge, look at a television as Dr. Eggman begins his 'special' apperance to tell
everyone that the Eartg is coming to an end.
"Citizens of Earth! Lend me your ears, and listen VERY carefully." He said, shouting. "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...."
I could imagine seeing all the eyes from every people on the planet, looking a small meteor burst
apart, showing a face of a person with a long mustashe. THIS is the space colony ARK that was
hidden by the covers made by rock and metal. 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.
Its weird but.... I could have sworn I hear people shrieking in terror and shock as they saw all
this happening. I looked at the screen again and saw a numble on the screen. 24:00:00. THIS is
the countdown for Earth's doom. 23:58:39, even though Earth is now afride of us, we STILL need
to find the final Chaos Emerald!!!!
3 hours passed by and Rouge was out, trying to collect the final Chaos Emerald. I stood at the
main control room with Dr. Eggman. He was having a 'important' call with the president of the
United States of America. I watched as Dr. Eggman talked to this important man.
"'Mr. President, reports show that since the incident three hours ago, the country is in turmoil.
Our financial communities are impacted, and our satalite communcations are down. An emergency
meeting has been called. Mr. Presedent, this is a national crisis.'" That is what the president's
secretary read aloud from an e-mail sent to him. to the Presedent.
I could hear the president sighing and looked up at the screen. "Spare me the details. Exactly
just what is it that you want... Dr. Eggman?"
Dr. Eggman smiled and said "Heheheheh. Well, let's just get down to business then, shall we, Mr.
President? I won't bore you with all the details since you are a very busy man. Mr. President,
my demands are quite simple. Surrender to the Eggman Empire and make no attempts to resist.
OTHERWISE..."
The Presedent leaned forward, looking very worried. "Otherwise...?"
"Otherwise, your country will cease to exist! You have 24 hours to give me your answer-" Eggman
said, smiling.
Suddenly..... "NO WAY!" A voice said and a familiar blue hedgehog jumped in with a two-tailed fox
called Miles 'Tails' Prower.
"What the-?!" the president said, in shock.
"Sonic! YOU-" I heard Dr. Eggman growling.
"Eggman Empire! Yeah, RIGHT!" Sonic said. THAT was before Tails walked over to the video screen,
disconnecting us.
I sneered. There is no way, no how, that Sonic the Hedgehog and his friends are going to stop us
finishing this 'little' plan of ours!
I came out of my thoughts as Dr. Eggman slammed his fist against the console. Why do I get the
feeling he is upset about Sonic interferring.
At that point, Rouge entered the room. As soon as she saw Eggman throwing his fit, she said "Why
are you SO upset?" She, then, added in a sarcastic tone "Well THAT was really impressive! You've
managed to create havoc on the WHOLE planet! Does this now mean we CONTROL the planet and can do
as we CHOOSE?"
"At this rate, the cannon will take too much time to charge up." I said. "If you want to unleash
its full potential, you'll need ALL 7 Chaos Emeralds."
Eggman whirled around and faced Rouge. "Where in the WORLD have YOU been?"
Rouge looked towards me, confused. "Something happen?" she asked innocently.
"Our threats fell on deaf ears." is all I could say.
Rouge smiled and eyed Eggman. "Look at you! Thowing a tamtrum like a little kid! How TOTALLY
embarrassing!" I gotta agree with her.
Eggman DID shot back at her. "Don't forget YOUR end of the bargain, BAT GIRL! What about that
last Chaos Emerald? We had a DEAL, RIGHT? So where is my emerald?"
With that, Rouge pulled out a newspaper from her pocket and showed it to Eggman. "Here you go! I
found THIS!"
"Why didn't you show me this BEFORE?" Eggman said, angry. He took the paper and read it aloud. I
looked over his shoulder and saw a picture of Tails holding a golden Chaos Emerald. Since we have
a red emerald, a light blue emerald, a dark blue emerald, a silver emerald, a green emerald and a
purple emerald, the Chaos Emeralds are certainly colourful. "'Station Square saved from a
life-threatening Missle Attack. The city has awared its famed prize to the boy who saved Station
Square. Miles 'Tails' Prower was given the Chaos Emerald as a testament for his heroic deed at a
ceremony held in City Hall!'"
Eggman placed the paper down and cleared his throat. "Hrumph! This makes things a WHOLE lot
easier. Hurry, go back to Earth and find them fast! I WANT that Chaos Emerald!"
"Did you get that?" Rouge asked me, which I was a little distant.
"Soon enough... Maria..." I mumbled as I walked out. I hope Rouge don't take that as a insult.
This last mission of ours won't be easy since Tails is Sonic's friend and after our last battle,
he will not be an easy opponent to bring down. Time is running out and if we don't get that last
Chaos Emerald from that two-tailed fox, I don't want to know.........
And what about Rouge, I still have questions about her. I think I got myself a secret mission.
Time...... I'm going to complete this! Find out Rouge, bring that last Chaos Emerald home, defeat
Sonic and more importantly, furfill Maria's wish!!!!!
TO BE CONTINUED.......
What will happen next? Stay tuned...
