Chapter 6: Hell has no fury like a Hedgehog

Rouge glided down elegantly from the air vent. She was followed by Metal Sonic, who landed with a thump. Rouge checked the blueprints given to her by Eggman. This looked right. Rouge turned to Metal Sonic.

"The safe should be just down here." Metal Sonic glanced around with a cynical eye.

"Pathetic security for such a large collection of Chaos Emeralds. Morons." Rouge noted that Metal Sonic's new voice box sounded like a metallical version of Sonic's voice. Suitable.

"Just do your bit." Metal Sonic nodded. He looked upward at the rotating Cameras. After a brief pause all the cameras shut down simultaneously. As soon as that happened Rouge dashed for the safe, calling Metal Sonic. "They'll be here to inspect those cameras soon!" Metal Sonic followed, using a wireless feature Eggman gave him to scrabble and close any electrical device, to rid the path of any infer red beams. Rouge reached the Safe and started to hack into the coded lock. Metal Sonic came closely after. He waited five minutes for Rouge to crack it before growing impatient.

"Stand back or lose your inconsequential life" Metal Sonic sneered. Metal Sonic approached the door and rested his hand on it. Rouge stepped back and watch as Metal Sonic effortlessly made the wall collapse on itself. Rouge looked impressed

"Eggman could have told me he gave you that ability." Metal Sonic paused.

"He didn't give me it." Metal Sonic walked into the room and approached the Emeralds. Purple, blue, green, orange, yellow. With Shadows Emerald that should make six. There's one missing. Metal Sonic pondered this for a moment before hearing Rouge shouting. Millions of military robots were closing in on them. Metal Sonic turned to face them. He could not see the floor due to the sheer amount of them. Metal Sonic, as cool as ever, simply walked down to greet the masses of robots. The robots took aim at Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic simply clenched his fist. The robots fired a blinding amount of laser fire at the metal hedgehog. Metal Sonic simply watched the flying death. The second before the lasers hit Metal Sonic activated his shield, destroying all the shots. A leading robot signalled his lackeys to hold there fire. Once the barrage of lasers stopped Metal Sonic turned off his shield. Before the robots could fire a second round Metal Sonic aimed his hand and fired what seemed to be his fingers at the robots. As the missiles hit the robots Metal Sonic aimed his palm at them and let forth a mighty flame. In a matter of seconds all the robots were littering the floor with there insides. Metal Sonic looked at Rouge. "We should go before the real security get here." Metal Sonic walked towards the air vent, followed closely by Rouge.

"Metal, that was amazing! How did Sonic ever defeat you?" Metal Sonic stopped briefly. He looked upward.

"I was handicapped with inexperience and Eggman's limited imagination. A problem I have no more." Metal Sonic then continued to the air vent, kicking a robots arm on the way. Rouge followed. What did Metal Sonic mean by that? Was he planning something, could robots plan? Why should she care, capture Eggman and run off with the emeralds, that all she wants. Not to get mixed with traitorous ploys. Rouge watched Metal Sonic jump up back into the air vent and followed. Metal Sonic looked back at her. "Where's the last emerald?" Rouge shrugged. In reality she knew exactly were it was, but was under strict orders not to reveal its location. The government didn't want Eggman's Mangabot to run at optimum efficiently, just enough for them to know what threat it possessed. Strange tactic Rouge thought.

Shadow looked around his surroundings. Where did that fox go Sonic was talking to? Shadow had almost forgot about him. The decedent area the G.U.N base inhabited showed no sings of life. Shadow sat himself down on a large rock. He closed his eyes to focus. Shadow sat immobile for about five minutes. Suddenly Shadow's arm shoot upward. It blocked an incoming fist. Shadow got up to be greeted by a red armadillo. Shadow and Mighty circled each other as they exchanged pleasantries.

"Who are you suppose to be? Sonic's spikeless twin?" Mighty cast a sarcastic eye

"Look who's talking."

"Do not compare me to that murderer!" Shadow sent a fist in Mighty's direction. Mighty dodged the fist.

"Murderer? The only people Sonic has killed are robots."

"Lies! He killed Maria, when G.U.N massacred everyone on the A.R.K." Mighty frowned

"Dude, Sonic is only sixteen."

"So?"

"A.R.K was raided by G.U.N fifteen years ago." Shadow stepped backward. His eyes burned in there sockets

"You vile bag of deceit!" Shadow jumped at Mighty. Mighty moved out of the way as Shadow came down from above. Shadow ran at Mighty. Shadow elbowed Mighty and hit him countless times before he could react. Mighty kicked Shadow between the legs and jumped backward. Shadow's eye twitched violently. Shadow snapped out of it, determined to continue his attack. Mighty couldn't believe what he just saw, he had just kicked the guy... there... hard, and he shock it off as if it was just a bruise on his arm. What steroids was he on! Mighty decided to try to reason again.

"Shadow, G.U.N are coming to capture you. I was informed beforehand to help save you." Shadow spat at Mighty.

"Why should I believe you? Let them come, they can't win, I am the ultimate life form!" Talk about big ego. Mighty tried to come up if a plan fast. It was unlikely he will be able to knock him unconscious and take him that way. Shadow stared at Mighty, he smiled slightly. Then before Mighty's eyes Shadow disappeared. Mighty closed his eyes. He listened intently for signs of Shadow's presence. Mighty heard a fist piercing the wind to his left. Mighty blocked. He hear the same sound to his right, again he blocked. Shadow was randomly teleporting around Mighty, trying to hit him. Mighty blocked all the hits. Then Mighty heard two fists coming at him. Mighty ducked to hear a loud 'whack'. Mighty opened his eyes to see Amy standing over him, her hammer was making contact with Shadow's face. Amy looked around the area, then at Shadow.

"Aren't you dead? Doesn't matter, where's Sonic?" Amy removed the hammer from Shadow's face. Shadow reconnected his bottom jaw and looked at Amy

"And you are?" Amy was confused by the question.

"Don't you remember me? I helped you realise that all of earth wasn't made of evil dictators." Shadow and Mighty both cast Amy a sarcastic eye. "What? Seriously."

"Right, whatever. Oh and Sonic's has been placed above many spikes. Now if you don't mind, I'll like to kill this liar." Shadow rose his fist. Mighty rolled out of the day. Shadow was about to pursue Mighty when he was again hit by Amy's hammer. Amy started to attack Shadow with her hammer violently. Shadow dodged the hammer with ease. Amy swung with never ending power. Shadow jumped halfway up the cliff, out of reach of Amy. Mighty walked up to the cliff, clenched his fist and punched the cliff. The cliff started to tremble and crumble. Shadow began to lose his footing. He pulled out the emerald and shouted "Chaos con.. ahh!" Shadow fell. The Chaos emerald flied out of his hand. Shadow landed on Mighty's head. He then jumped off it and tried to grab the emerald. He missed and landed. Before he knew it Amy swung her hammer, knocking Shadow off his feet. Shadow fell on his back. Shadow got out his mobile phone, dialling Eggman. Shadow waited for an answer, then shouted "Doctor, I need help!" From within the phone came Eggman's voice.

"I'll get you on the monitor... What's the matter, you can defeat the pink hedgehog and the Armadillo."

"Doctor, I can't move or reach the emerald." Shadow looked over his shoulder. "And now G.U.N are coming." Eggman's voice again came

"Shadow, you don't need to touch the emerald, just be close to it!" Shadow smiled and put away the phone. He looked at Amy and Mighty.

"I hope you're prepared for them, Chaos control!" Shadow and the emerald disappeared. Amy and Mighty watched the oncoming mass of G.U.N soldiers.

"I think we should leave" Mighty analysed. Amy didn't argue.
