Launch of the Egg Rocket!! PART ONE: THE CHASE IS ON!

(Shadow has just revived Maria using the time stones, and has got back to find that something ELSE got revived too. It's too complex to explain, so just read my last fic if you haven't already!)

Eggman (Gerald's voice): You fool, Shadow! Now I've posessed Ivo, I can continue our legacy!! I will carry on the EVIL where his mind went SOFT!!!

Shadow: Gerald... y-your..MAD...

Eggman: Your point BEING?!

Shadow: (thinks) Oh great! What have I DONE!? I've got to warn the others!!

Eggman: Aaand since you're the only one HERE.. I may as well dispose of you first!

(Eggman grabs Shadow's wrist)

Shadow: Get OFF of me!!!

Maria: Shadow!!

Shadow: You'll never take me alive! Maria!

Maria: O-kay! (nods knowingly, then grabs Shadow's arm)

Shadow: Chaos control!!!

Eggman: Oh no you don't!- Gh-AH!

FRRAAASSSSHHH!!!!

(Shadow and Maria disappear, and appear on the floating island with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy. They are in the echidna village.)

Shadow: Gasp! Whew!.. Sonic! It's an emergency!..

(A few minutes later, outside the emerald hill base.)

Sonic: You WHAT!?!!!

Shadow: I know, I didn't MEAN to.. I just didn't think..

Sonic: If you're gonna do something stupid like THAT, you should tell the rest of us!!

Shadow:I already TOLD you! I wasn't THINKING!!!

Sonic: Well, you SHOULD have been! NOW look what you've done! Some 'ultimate lifeform' YOU are! Shadow: So, what would YOU have done, then?!

Sonic:...-Well, I wouldn't mess up, for sure!

Shadow: Shut UP! You are such a JERK sometimes!

Sonic: Look who's TALKING!! THAT'S funny! Like I'M the one who just put the whole WORLD in danger!!

Shadow: Nnng.. Why I oughta.

Amy: LOOK, there's NO POINT arguing!! If Gerald really IS back, we're gonna need to work together!!

Sonic: (Thinks) I HATE it when she's right..

Shadow: Sonic.I'm sorry.

Sonic: Oh well. there's no point moaning about something that's already happened.

(Tails dashes out from inside the base)

Tails: Sonic! If Gerald.I mean, ...Eggman.no..um, whoever! If they really ARE evil again, we'd better find out what they're up to!

Sonic: Yeah, .before it's too late!

RRIING! RRIING!!

(Tails gets out a phone)

Voice: There's just one PROBLEM with your plan.

Tails: It's Eggman!

Eggman: It's ALREADY TOO LATE!!!-- *K-KSHHHHHH*

Sonic: Already too late?! How's that POSSIBLE? He only went evil again a few minutes ago!!

(The ground begins to shake)

KKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR-----

Sonic: What the?!

Tails: SONIC! Look on the news!!

(They dash in and look at the TV)

TV: The people of Metropolis city are in a state of total panic, as the entire Proman Industries building is collapsing.

Tails: NO! My company.!

TV: In the building's place, a large structure is rising out of the ground. At this point it is hard to tell what it is, but we should know once the smoke has clea-AARRGH!!!-This just in..- the structure is a massive rocket!! And it's launchIIIIIING!!! ---RRRRMMMBBBB----KISSHHH!!

(The TV cuts out)

Sonic: What's going on?!

Shadow: Come on, let's go!- Chaos Control!

(Sonic, Tails and Shadow appear in Metropolis city, right by the massive rocket)

Tails: (Shouting to be heard over rocket boosters): HOW DID HE BUILD THIS SO QUICKLY?!

Sonic: It doesn't matter! We HAVE to get to that rocket!! If he gets into space again.well, you know he'll have SOME kinda death ray or something- he ALWAYS does..

Tails: But it's already a few miles up in the air!!

Sonic: No problem! We can just Chaos control there, right Shadow?

Shadow: Sorry.I can't. I just used up. the last of my energy. getting us here!

Sonic: Oh, that's convenient!.. Tails! Grab the tornado!

Tails: My Cyclone was damaged, remember?

Sonic: Well, get the old one, then!!! We need to get to the floating island, NOW!

Tails: There's no time!

Shadow: Wait! The floating island? I might have .just enough. energy. just grab a hold. Chaos Control.

(They appear in the angel island zone (S3 style))

Shadow: Gasp..here. I ..whew. I really..need to rest..now.--Uhhhh.

(Shadow collapses)

Tails: Shadow!!

Sonic: Shadow'll be fine- but WE need to get that rocket!

BWOOOOSSSHHH!!

(The rocket is just passing the floating island)

Sonic: Quick! We need to get to the highest part of the island- the mountains!

Tails: But the mountains aren't anywhere NEAR the Egg Rocket!!

Sonic: Well, what's the highest place near to it, then?

Tails: That should be..the ancient ruins!

Sonic: Let's go!

(They arrive at the ruins, a few seconds later)

Sonic: There's the rocket! Let's go for it!!!

(Sonic begins to dash up a pillar, but is smacked down to the floor)

Sonic: OW! Who's the wise guy?

Tails: Umm..Sonic?

Sonic: Oh no..NOT him again!!!

Next: METALLY DISTURBED!
