"Everyone ready?" I asked into my comm.
"I'm set!" said Sonic's voice.
"Rouge and I are in position," Knuckles said.
"I'm standing by," Shadow said.
"Alright Sonic, go for it!" I encouraged. I watched as he ran up to the front gate, tapped one of the robots on the shoulder, and ran off in the other direction.
"WARNING! Intruder located on premises. All available units are requested to engage. Destroy the intruder!" A loud message system said.
"This is working better than I thought," I said out loud as I watched all ten robots chase after Sonic.
"Now Shadow!" I ordered.
~~~~~SHADOW
I ran around to the front of the security building and quickly smashed the two robots that were guarding the entrance. I ran inside to find three more robots working the controls. I smashed two, but the third one held its laser up to my head.
"Freeze!" it commanded.
I quickly did a flip backwards, dodged the laser-fire, and grabbed two packages of twenty rings I had noticed when I came in. I pointed at the robot.
"Chaos Spear!" I yelled as a bunch of golden projectiles slammed into the robot, breaking it into a thousand pieces.
"Shadow! How are you doing in there?" Tails' voice asked from my comm.
"I just finished up. I'm searching for Maria now," I said as I walked over to the computer screens.
I looked at the screens and couldn't help but shout at the sight of Maria on one of the monitors.
"I found her, Tails. She is held in cell C-130, according to this prison record.
"Great job Shadow, I will see what I can do," Tails said.
~~~~~TAILS
I ran up to the entrance to Prison Lane and was struck dumbfounded. The door must've been modified since my last visit, because the door now needed a security card to open!
"I've run into a small problem," I said into my comm. "The door needs a security card to be opened!"
"Leave it to me," Rouge replied.
~~~~~ROUGE
I slipped on my Treasure Scope to search the area. I also programmed my radar to detect any security card nearby.
"There may be one in that warehouse over there," Knuckles said as he pointed towards a large building on the other side of the prison.
I headed towards the warehouse. Sure enough, as soon as I was close to the warehouse my radar began to blink.
I entered the warehouse and the blinking got faster. It was definitely in here. I looked around. The whole room was filled with crates! I groaned and started breaking them open, one by one. After about five minutes I had busted them all open and had not seen any sign of a security card. I walked to the center of the room and the blinking was going as fast as it could go. I looked around and noticed a table nearby. I walked over to it and the radar began to shake like mad. I looked on the table and found a briefcase. Inside the briefcase was the security card. Feeling kind of foolish, I rushed the card back to Tails as fast as I could.
~~~~~TAILS
"Thanks, Rouge!" I said as I took the card from her and put it into its slot next to the door.
The door slid open quickly and I walked in.
"Shadow? You there?" I asked into my comm.
"Right with you," Shadow's voice replied. "Go forward until you can turn right. That'll take you to the C block."
I blasted through a few weak robots and crates that blocked my way, but I had no major troubles. I followed Shadow's directions and I headed right. After walking for a while, I came upon the cells. Most of them were empty, and I read the numbers as I walked by.
"C-58, 62, 66, 70," I started.
"Just hurry and find 140!" Shadow's voice said anxiously.
I fired my boosters and went as fast as I could down the corridor. Near the end I stopped. The wall read C-250.
"You moron! Go back the other way!" Shadow yelled.
I rushed back the other way and stopped about half way through the corridor.
"130, 134, 138," I continued. I looked at the other wall. "140!" I yelled as I headed over to the cell.
Inside the cell was an old woman. Her wrinkled skin made her look like she was ancient, and her blue eyes showed of pain and suffering.
"Shadow, are you sure this is the right cell?" I asked.
"Positive," Shadow said. "Is there a problem?"
Finally remembering what happened, I hit myself.
"Shadow, the accident happened fifty years ago," I said to Shadow.
"Yeah? So what?" he asked.
"Well," I replied, "Maria looks like she is sixty years old."
~~~~~SONIC
I ran and ran and ran. The robots were close behind me and fired lasers at me constantly. And all I could do was run in circles around the prison. Not my idea of a picnic.
"WHAT!!!???" Shadow's voice yelled.
"Hey, guys, you almost through?" I asked into my comm. "I'm starting to get tired," I stated as I ducked another laser.
"Only a few more minutes Sonic. I am releasing her now," Tails said.
I ran faster as a laser beam blew up the spot where I just was.
"I hope he moves fast," I said to myself as I continued to circle the building.
~~~~~TAILS
I released the Maria and headed as fast as I could to the entrance.
"Incoming enemies! There's about thirty of em heading our way!" Knuckles said.
"Shadow, Knuckles, Rouge, work together to fight them off!" I said into my comm.
"That won't be necessary," Shadow said into his comm.
~~~~~SHADOW
I rushed outside and charged my Light Attack. I ran towards the robots and released my energy. I flew about as fast as a bullet, destroying all the robots in my path. In no time, they were all destroyed.
"That wasn't too hard," I said to myself.
~~~~~TAILS
"Great job Shadow! Alright, everyone into the Tornado 2!" I said into my comm..
Shadow, Rouge, and Knuckles joined me and Maria in the Tornado 2.
"Everyone ready?" I asked as I cranked up the power on my controls.
"Yeah! Let's go!" Sonic yelled as he jumped into the Tornado 2, barely dodging another laser.
I fired the turbo boosters on my Tornado 2 and we were outta there!
~~~~~TAILS
"Everyone ready?" I asked into my comm.
"I'm set!" said Sonic's voice.
"Rouge and I are in position," Knuckles said.
