Enjoy.
The time is after the battle, Sonic the hedgehog landed in the city of Station Square. Normally, this would have been a time of great celebration and joy amongst the fighters, but since the loss of Shadow, no one was to cheery, especially Sonic. "He was what he was, a great and heroic hedgehog, who gave his life for this planet, Shadow the hedgehog." The words rang through Sonic's mind, as he tried to bring some comfort to himself, and everyone else, who was feeling down. The space capsule opened, and immediately, everyone crowded in, cheering and yelling joyously, glad that their heroes were home. Sonic pushed through the crowd (or more like spin dashed) and quickly plowed through the mass gathering, and headed toward the mystic ruins, his buddy Tails close behind.
"Sonic! Its not like you to just ignore all of the glory, what gives?!" "Not feeling good Tails, it doesn't feel much like a victory."
Tails landed when Sonic finally decided to stop running. He sighed, and allowed his tails to relax and resume their normal flicking motion.
"Yeah..you're right."
Settling beneath a tree, Sonic watched forlornly out. Since when did Shadow affect him so much? Why it seemed like hours ago they were out each others throats, trying to prove one another as the "faker". Tails kept Sonic company, but he soon went to his laboratory to work on his cyclone, he was ready to test a new add-on to the walker, so that when it was transformed into the tornado 2, it would hold 4, not just one.
Mean while...back into the Jungle of this mystic ruins...
"BAH! Curse that hedgehog! CURSE HIM! Always the hero, always the one to stop my plans and prove me wrong!!!" a very disgruntled Eggman walked in, not very proud of his attempted to dominate the world, only to almost destroy the entire planet and himself. And what was worse, he had been forced to pair up with the very menace that caused him so much turmoil. Flying in his "egg globe", he soon spotted his base which was located just on the outskirts of an ancient ruin, which could be seen upon the cliff it sat on. Entering the bridge, he stomped all the way down, cursing to himself momentarily while gathering his faults. This would not be the end, oh no, he wouldn't allow it to be.
As if things weren't going well enough for the Dr. already, he tripped and fell hard upon entering the main area of the base, falling in front of a glass capsule. "GRRRRRRRRR!! Son of a." Something caught his eye. Looking at the glass capsule, he realized that his answer, was, and always had been in his very base. His mouth twisted into a toothy grin, which was as disgusting as, well Robotnik. "I think its time I revive....an old friend." An evil cold laugh escaped his mouth as he pressed the button to release the prisoner inside. Red shoes with white on the bottom stepped out, its metal quills stiff and sharp. Its eyes momentarily flickered, but where soon clear, and were as magma.
"Metal Sonic online, how can I serve you, my master?"
**Mean while, in Station Square**
Amy had returned to her apartment, glad to be away from that bustle. "Left me behind again.." She thought, as she settled down on her magenta couch. She loved Sonic, and would do anything to be with him at this moment. But once again, the blue glory hog hadn't said so much as a "good bye" to Amy. Every time he did it, it really hurt her. "I guess he really will never love me..and I did say I needed to be more independent." The thought brought a glazed subdued look to her face. Exhaustion filled her, and soon, she slipped off to sleep.
****Meanwhile***
A shadow of a fat egg like man stands upon one of the many hills of the Mystic Ruins, over looking a certain hedgehog, who has fallen asleep.
"Sleep well...my adversary." Said the cold voice. "You will certainly need it, for the pain you will suffer, will be unbearable." A sinister laugh erupted into the air as he walked off, to finish his upgrades on metal sonic..
