"Hey, Sonic, what do you want to do today?" Tails asked as he sat down in a chair next to me. We were at my house, and it has been a week since we saved the world from the space colony, ARK. Every day Tails asked this question, and ever since a week ago all I ever do is sit and watch TV.
"I don't know. How about we watch some TV." See? I have been feeling down, out of energy. I may have saved the world, but I did it with Shadow's help, and it pained me to see him fall from the sky when I survived. How could that have happened? I thought we were identical, heck, you could even say we were twins if it wasn't for his black color. All I know is that it wasn't fair. It wasn't fair to Shadow that I survived and he didn't. I was in a slump you might say. A slump caused by the loss of a comrade.
"But Sonic, we watched TV all day yesterday, and all day the day before that, too!" Tails complained.
He was itching for an adventure again, I could tell. He probably had created some killer machines and can't wait to test them out. This next invention of his might even have a nuclear weapon for all I knew.
"Alright Tails, we will only watch for an hour today," I bargained.
"OK," said Tails. I popped us some microwave popcorn and we started watching Battlebots.
"Ah, it's a rerun," Tails stated with a frown.
"What, you've seen this one before?" I asked as I shoved a handful of popcorn into my mouth.
"Yeah, this is the tournament where Eggman gets his butt whooped," Tails said with a laugh.
On the screen showed Dr. Eggman controlling his Egg Walker from a distance with his remote controls. His opponent was:
"A giant Omochao!?" I exclaimed as I burst out laughing. "He got beaten by a giant Omochao!?"
"Yeah, this is great, take a look at what Omochao does," Tails said as he leaned forward in his seat.
Omochao used its tiny propellers to somehow fly up above the Egg Walker, which was constantly firing missiles at Omochao, who didn't seem affected by any of the attacks. Suddenly, Omochao came crashing downward and
"We interrupt this program for an important announcement," a woman said as she appeared on the screen.
"Oh man! Not now!" I said as I groaned.
"A week ago, the ultimate life form, AKA Shadow, escaped from the Iron Gate facility," the woman read from a paper.
"Old news," I noted.
"But just recently, Shadow has been spotted trying to bust his way back into the facility," the woman continued.
I was shocked as a live camera view showed Shadow trying to bust his way into Iron Gate.
"The public is warned to keep away from the facility and to make contact with Shadow as minimal as possible. The military has already taken the necessary precautions and has sent for the reinforcements which are now on the way," the woman stated. "More news on this at noon," she finished.
The TV switched back to the battlebots match, which showed a heap of rubble where Eggman's machine once was.
"Did you hear that Sonic? Shadow's alive!" Tails said as he jumped out of his chair.
"I kind of figured that. Someone like him doesn't die very easily," I recalled.
"Let's go to Iron Gate and see what we can do to help!" Tails said with eagerness.
"I'm all for that. Let's go!" I yelled as I ran out the door.
"Wait for me, Sonic!" Tails yelled as he climbed into his Tornado 2.
