A TALE OF SHADOW.
Chapter 7:The Chase for the Final Chaos Emerald....... By Ninetalesuk.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:Sonic, Shadow, Eggman and other characters appeared on 'Sonic Adventure 2' on the
SEGA Dreamcast and 'Sonic Adventure 2:Battle' on the Nintendo GameCube. What else is new?



Our mission to collect the last Chaos Emerald from a two-tailed fox called Miles 'Tails' Prower
that is friends with a certain blue hedgehog called Sonic.

Rouge told me that she'll track down Tails and the Chaos Emerald using the radar in her car.
Dr. Eggman stayed behind, at his base that was hidden inside the pyramid.


I waited and waited..... I stood on top of a mountain to wait for any news about the emerald.
Then, a blue plane passed by me.... Next, my radio beeped....

When I answered it, Rouge's voice came on "Shadow, they're in that blue plane! Spotted at 11
o'clock!" Could that blue plane that passed by me be the same one. Only one way to find out.

"Copy that. I'm in pursuit." I radioed back.

The chase was on! I jumped from an old rail to another, grinding along, trying to catch up with
that plane!

I'm amazed by the sight of the plane. It looks like a bi-plane, used in the early 1930s or 1040s.
Ha.... I'm no good at history. Prof. Gerald use to show me how planes worked and also said that
the bi-planes are no longer being built except as model planes.

When I was able to see a golden fur from the cockpit, I knew it was Tails! I must catch up with
him and nab that emerald off him!

I didn't had a chance as I ran out of ground and rails. I watched as Tails drove his plane
through the sky and headed towards........ Dr. Eggman's base!!! Looks like they are on to us!

"Doctor, they're heading directly toward us." I radioed in to Eggman "What should we do?" I was
starting to get worried. This is going to present a problem if they stop us from our mission.

"Just sit tight! I've got them on radar." Eggman radioed back. "There's NO way they can get away.
I don't know what they are planning, but I'll be sure to give them a warm welcome..." I could
hear him sniggering as he switched it off. What is he going to do?



As I headed back to Eggman's base, Dr. Eggman told me he sended Rouge to the ARK so she could
guard the Chaos Emeralds. I would said he was crazy but, I need proof about Rouge.

What am I thinking?! Proof of what?! What is so special about Rouge?! I still got this feeling
that Rouge is up to something since Day 1. Since the time she appeared out of nowhere and flew
in front of Eggman at the space colony ARK control room.

How am I going to figure out what is so special about Rouge before the 24 hours is up?! Then, it
hit me! I suddenly got a feeling that I should hack into the government files and see if Rouge is
in there. If she is, then I'll know who she is!



When I arrived at the desert and stood on top of a hill, overlooking 3 pyramids, I simply had one
question. Which pyramid belongs to Eggman? My answer soon came.....

One of the pyramid's top started to open up and a shuttle blasted out of the pyramid. I radioed
in to Eggman.

"Doctor, what has happened?!" I asked, confused.

"Its Sonic and his friends!" Eggman called back, angry. "They somehow broke into my rocket area
and made my Egg Golem attack me!"

"What are we going to do?!" I asked him, worried to know what will happen if they succeed, what
ever they are doing.

"I don't know. I'll call into Rouge and see if she has any ideas. You just head back here and
we'll BOTH think of a way to get the last Chaos Emerald AND destroy Sonic!" Eggman said, almost
yelling. I had to mkove my head away from the radio before he shouted.

I placed the radio away and headed to the pyramid where Sonic's shuttle came out.

I have to agree with Dr. Eggman. If we don't do something about that blue hedgehog, Sonic, our
plans will never work! Time is running out and Sonic has gone too far!! Goodbye, blue hedgehog.

TO BE CONTINUED.......

Exciting, isn't it?
