Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory
Chapter 1 - Roll out and attack (to free the top-secret weapon)
Roll up and shine
Deep into that darkness peering, long he stands there wondering, fearing, doubting. Wondering what his next master plan will be, and whether or not he can stop them. Fearing the blue one that foils all his plans, scrap brain, death egg, and chaos.
Doubting himself as an evil genius, doubting himself as a scientist. I never wanted this for my cousin Ivo, but he idolised our grandfather, the madness that consumed his heart created the most diabolic plots and Ivo liked it.
He too has succumbed to the corruption of power, but in a different way. His ambition is to take over the world, and it's the ambition that has corrupted him. Thank god there are those that stand up to him.
He is no longer the cousin I knew as a child, he is no longer Ivo Robotnik. He is Dr. Eggman, and he is determined to fulfil his goals. He frantically searches his hidden base for inspiration,
"Come on there must be something here", Said Ivo. He pulls away sheets of paper to discover a floppy disk, "What is this? This disk doesn't seem like one of mine". He slides it into his computer and examines the files. He has found his inspiration as he learns of project shadow, the ultimate lifeform, the military's top secret weapon. With that in his hands death and destruction won't be far behind. He readies the Eggwalker and heads towards Prison Island, and to the top secret research facility, mumbling, "To fill the world with destruction, release him to the world"
There are many that fight for the greater good and there are those who fight for the dark forces of corruption. Then there are those who chose not to fight, and ignore everything that's happening around them. Big the cat is one such fellow. A giant purple cat that loves fishing sits beside the banks of the forest surrounding the military research facility. Accompanied with his best friend a small frog called Froggy, he casts his line to catch some fish, unaware of what was to come.
Suddenly from the bushes Eggman appeared charging forward in his mechanical walker, which is basically just a cockpit with two giant legs and a laser cannon. He shot down all the two robotic guards and headed for the main entrance. Big ignored this as it had nothing to do with him, he turned to the lake and cast his line. Unfortunately fate has other intentions as the lure snagged onto Eggman's walker.
"My prize rod!" shouted Big. Clinging tightly to it, barring Froggy it was his favourite thing in the whole world. He stood his ground but even his supreme weight wasn't enough to hold back the power of the Eggwalker. Eggman barely noticed this, as he was busy concentrating on penetrating the military's defences.
GUN's, the name of the army, robots fell one my one as Eggman's laser torn through their tough metal. The sirens were blasting out at decibels that would but an airport to shame.
"Intruder alert, Intruder alert. Lock all security doors and capture the suspect", Said the computerised system. The gun and laser fire, the vast number of explosions, the loud sirens, it was like a war zone. Eggman has entered the facility dragging big with him. One by one the doors locked down behind him, one of them managed to cut the line freeing Big. Big banged into the locked door headfirst.
Meanwhile Eggman has escaped the last door and fired his gun destroying the last of the entrance guards.
"That it?" asked Eggman, "ho ho! Now to find what my grandfather had been working on, a top secret weapon. The military shut down his research because they feared "
Action stage: Iron Gate (Eggman)
One by one the robotic guards blew up as a result of Eggman's laser. The security doors blown off in a matter of seconds. GUN couldn't stop him.
Meanwhile Big the cat found himself between a rock and a hard place, or is that two hard places?
"How do I get out of here?" said Big. He noticed a vent to the side, "oh no. I guess that's the only way out". He struggled to fit through the vent hole but eventually made it inside. The space was tight considering Big's, erm, big frame. Squeezing through the ventilation he managed to get quite far. Suddenly though a nearby GUN beetle exploded by the ventilation shaft. Combined with Big's weight the vent shaft fell and big fell out. He just managed to hold on to a wall, he looked down into the darkness and screamed. Another beetle exploded and Big lost his grip. As he fell all he could hear was explosions.
"Whoa! This has turned into a war zone. What's going on?" asked Big. He smashed to the ground screaming the rest of the way down. Big was out cold.
Eggman eventually found himself at the last security door. He used his computer to break the code and entered his grandfather's secret base. It was huge, but all that was in it was a computer and a large hole. He walked over to the computer and pulled out a chaos emerald.
The chaos emeralds are mystical gems filled with an unlimited supply of chaos energy. No one really knows where they came from but many say when all seven are collected miracles happen. Eggman had the Grey emerald; the rest follow the primary and secondary colours of light.
"Enter password? Oh, password is MA-RI-A, Maria", Said Eggman typing my name in the computer. There was a strange sound coming from the hole. Eggman proceeded to investigate. The central object rose and a black hedgehog appeared from the shadows.
"NO! It's can't be. Is that you Sonic? Are you here to spoil my plans again?" Eggman asked angrily. Then he took a closer look, "Wait a minute you're not Sonic, this is impossible"
"My name is Shadow, I'm the world's ultimate lifeform. Since you were so kind to release me, my master, I will grant you a wish", Said the hedgehog, "but first you must tell me your name"
"My name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, the greatest scientific genius in the world", replied Eggman
"Robotnik? Ah you must be my creator's descendant", said Shadow. Suddenly there was a loud sound. A huge Machine filled the area.
"Now what?" asked Eggman
"Great, a chance to show of my power", Said Shadow, "This won't take long". Shadow ran towards the machine.
"No! How did you escape? It doesn't matter, this hot shot machine is unbeatable", said a voice inside the machine.
Boss: hot shot (shadow)
It didn't take long before Shadow destroyed the hot shot.
"Pathetic humans!" said Shadow. Eggman looked on in amazement as Shadow walked back. Shadow picked up the Chaos Emerald.
"Destroying the guard robot was spectacular. So Shadow YOU are the military's top secret weapon, but what did you mean when you said you'd grant me a wish?" asked Eggman. There was a short pause
"Bring more chaos emeralds" replied Shadow
"But…" interrupted Eggman
"I'll be waiting for you, in the central control room, on the space colony ARK", Shadow continued.
"ARK!" shouted Eggman. Shadow grabbed the Emerald and disappeared in a green flash.
"What the? Bring more chaos emeralds? Ark? And how did he do that?" asked Eggman, "I best get back to the base to look for more emeralds". And with that Eggman left, with many questions left unanswered.
