Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory
Chapter 5 - Just looking to escape
Just looking
The next day the Dark team met on Prison Island's jungle. Prison Island is the military's base. It has a huge central core with a massive safe called the security hall, a research facility guarded by an Iron Gate and a huge Prison, nicknamed Prison lane for it's structure. On the nearby coast of the island is the navy's harbour where all their weapons lie offline. The rest of the island is a dense jungle, which is full of devious traps left there by the islands old natives, who are long gone.
"Right, here's the plan. I'll distract the troops while Rouge sneaks into the base to get the emerald. I'll continue to distract them while Shadow will…" Said Eggman turning to Shadow, "…start the timer on these dynamite packs. Once Rouge has the Emeralds we'll escape and blow the dynamite to give them new more immediate problems to take care of. We'll be in an out so fast the military won't know what hit them".
Meanwhile Big was being shown around the base by GUN's general.
"And this area is what we call the Weapons Bed, it's where all our robots 'sleep' when they're not being used", Said the general.
"Ok, but you still haven't answered my question. Why are you showing me around here? Shouldn't you be executing me by now", Said Big
"From what you told us your partly innocent, you were trespassing on the island but you were no threat so we have a deal for you. We have an operative following Eggman but we don't trust her. We want you to give us a report on what Sonic the Hedgehog and Dr. Ivo Robotnik are up to", Said the General.
"Sonic is innocent you know. The hedgehog that stole the emerald was black, Sonic is blue", Said Big, "There's an fake Sonic, and it was him who stole the emerald".
"We know. But the other Sonic is a top-secret project developed by us. If the truth got out, well it is called Top secret for a reason. Sonic is being used as a scapegoat. We'll be making a deal with him soon enough", Said the General.
"So you want me to spy for you. What's in it for me?" asked Big.
"Besides your charges cleared? Well we do have your frog friend…" replied the General, "You co-operate with us and he wont be harmed."
"And you're meant to be the good guys? I guess I have no choice", said Big
"Good then it's settled then", Said the General
"Yeah", Said Big.
"Well we're just not ready to release you yet. These soldiers will take you to the armoury", said the General. Big followed the soldiers to the armoury.
Suddenly Eggman in his Walker burst past followed by GUN soldiers.
"What Dr. Eggman? Here?" said the General
"Should we go after him?" asked the soldiers
"Yes, I think you better. I'll escort Big to the armoury", Said the General
"Yes sir!" said the soldiers going after Eggman
Action stage: Weapons bed (Eggman)
Eventually Rouge and Eggman reached the security hall, Shadow looked on.
"Ok Rouge it's your turn", Said Eggman
"Right", said Rouge
"Oh Sonic I'm so glad I found you", Said a familiar voice.
It was Amy Rose, a sweet young pink hedgehog who has a crush on Sonic. She's been a part of Sonic's adventures before, mainly as the annoying damsel in distress. Lately though she has armed herself with a rather large hammer and has become a hero herself. She currently had her arms around Shadow.
"I'm not letting you go this time. Did you really steal the emerald and why have you dyed you spikes black?" asked Amy, "Wait you're not Sonic"
"Ah Amy, your timing is impeccable. You two complete your tasks, I'll take care of her", Said Eggman.
"No, Dr. Eggman", Said Amy running away.
In nearby Airspace Tails was approaching the island in his tornado 2.
"This is it, Prison Island. It's an well-armed base, re-enforced and super strong. Sonic is being held there, which he should be. Hang on sonic I'm on my way", Said Tails. He looked down to see Amy at the edge of an aircraft carrier, with Eggman about to do something to her.
"Amy? And Eggman? What's she doing here? Doesn't matter I have to help Amy, She's in danger. Tornado transformation", Said Tails turning the tornado 2 into the cyclone and landing on the carrier.
"Tails? Oh well I'll destroy you both, you wont get passed me you weak little fox", said Eggman
"You better leave Amy alone Eggman. I don't know what you're up to Eggman but you're not getting away with it", said Tails.
Face off: Tails and Eggman 1
Both walkers fought hard but stopped the battle halfway through. After all Eggman had troops to distract and Tails had a hedgehog to save.
"This time I'll let you go, but next time you wont be so lucky", Said Eggman running off.
"Doctor I'm in position", Said Shadow over a radio.
"I've run into a little problem, I'll be delayed slightly. Set the timer for 15 minutes. Rouge I hope you can find the emerald in time", Said Eggman.
"Don't worry 5 minutes should be plenty", said Rouge.
Action stage: Security hall (Rouge)
Big picked up some spy gear and put it on. Suddenly there was an explosion and Big found himself hanging on the edge of the security's hall ventilation system. He couldn't hang on and so fell. He found himself in the Prison's again.
Meanwhile, back on the top of the aircraft carrier.
"Oh Tails! You were brilliant thank you. But what are you doing here?" asked Amy
"Hey I should be asking you that. It's too dangerous here", said Tails
"I know but I'm here to rescue my hero Sonic", said Amy
"Again you follow him. When will you take the hint", Said Tails
"Sonic loves me, he's just hiding it to be cool", said Amy
"Whatever. Stand aside Amy", said Tails running off in his walker into Prison Lane.
"Hey wait for me, I want to save Sonic too", Said Amy following.
Action stage: Prison Lane
Big arrived at the cells where some guards spotted him.
"Isn't that Big the Cat? How did he escape?" asked one guard.
"I dunno but we should put him back in a cell, pronto", Said another.
"You're right. Hey you, get in a cell now. I'm warning you", Said the guard
"Hey I'm on you side", Said Big
"I don't care, get in there now or I'll shoot", said the guard.
"I don't believe this. Ok I'm going", said Big entering a cell. Suddenly Tails shot past shooting down the guard robots, before continuing on. Amy entered the area soon afterwards, gasping for a breath.
"wait…..up…..Tails……Hey…..aren't…..you…..Sonic's…..Friend?" asked Amy to Big.
"Yeah, can you get me out of here?" asked Big.
"Sure", said Amy, "If you're a friend of Sonic you can't be bad. I'll just take this keycard". Amy picked up a prison cell keycard from the fallen robot guards and let Big out.
"Thank you. I take it you're going to free Sonic?" asked Big
"Of course", said Amy
"Well be careful", said Big
"You too", Said Amy. And both left.
Meanwhile back in the security hall Rouge had found the Cyan, Magenta and Red chaos emeralds and was making her escape when a huge GUN machine flew over her.
"I can't believe I'm come this far, just to fail", Said Rouge, securing the Emeralds in a safe place.
Boss: Flying Dog (Rouge)
"It's over Bat. This flying dog is invincible. Flying dog to headquarters, found suspect and preparing to attack", said the soldier in the machine. Rouge climbed on the walls and flew to the machine's cockpit where she attacked the glass. The Flying dog shook her off, but Rouge got back up and tried again. Eventually she broke the glass and blew up the machine.
"Hey, how's that. I'm pretty strong alright", said Rouge
"What this flying dog can't be beat", said the soldier, "Flying dog to headquarters I'm down. Lock down the security hall"
"What?" Said Rouge. She ran to the door but it fell, trapping her inside.
Back in the Prison Sonic paces up and down in his cell.
"I've got to get out. This place is so boring", Said Sonic. Suddenly Amy dropped from the ceiling, "Amy?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down", Said Amy.
"Well don't just stand there let me out", Said Sonic
"I dunno you're a criminal now!" said Amy
"The reason I'm in here is because of that fake hedgehog", Said Sonic
"You mean that black hedgehog?" Said Amy
"Did you see it, where is he now?" asked Sonic
"If I let you out will you marry me?" asked Amy
"No way", replied Sonic
"Oh! I though I had you this time", Said Amy releasing Sonic from the cells, "That black hedgehog came here with Dr. Eggman"
"So they are working together, there's no time to lose. I'll meet up with you and Tails in the Jungle", Said Sonic
"How did you know Tails was here?" asked Amy
"Like you could ever get passed all the guards!" replied Sonic. Running off.
"Hey who wrote all that writing on the walls anyway, Sonic, hey wait up. He's such a brat sometimes", said Amy. Sonic ran through the harbour distracting the guards.
Action stage: Metal harbour (sonic)
Big was also on the harbour trying to escape himself he ended up falling into the water, the water took him to the White jungle, named due to the amount of mist in it.
Meanwhile Shadow was placing the bombs when Rouge contacted everyone over the radio.
"This is rouge, I have a small problem. I can't believe I'm stuck here with 3 chaos emeralds. I guess I can't call myself a hunter anymore", Said Rouge. Shadow had a flashback and remembered his true motive. If the emerald go the cannon won't fire.
"Troublemaker", Said Shadow running through the Jungle towards the security hall.
Action stage: White jungle (Shadow)
As he approached the harbour he crossed paths with Sonic.
"Well so far so good. Wait that's", Said Sonic pointing at Shadow.
"That blue hedgehog again, of all places, of all times, why now?" asked Shadow
"I found you, faker", Said Sonic
"Faker? I think you're the fake hedgehog around here. You're comparing yourself to me, ha! You're not even good enough to be my fake", Said shadow
"I'll make you eat those words", Said Sonic
"There's no time to play games, you wont even get the chance", Said Shadow.
"There's no way I'm going to lose. There's only one real Sonic!" said Sonic.
Face off: Sonic and Shadow 1
Both stood panting for breath, anymore fighting and they could destroy each other. Big meanwhile watched on from underneath the platform.
"Shadow, what are you doing? Get here right now before the island blows up with you on and Rouge on it", Said Eggman
"Blows up?" shouted Sonic. Shadow ran off to the security hall. Big fell back into the water completely surprised, The Island is going to blow, I better get out of here.
"I better find Tails and Amy, right away", Said Sonic running off shouting "Tails, Amy" as he went. He eventually got a reply and ran towards it.
Action stage: Green forest (Sonic)
Sonic arrived at the tornado 2.
"Tails prepare the tornado for flight now, the island's going to blow up. Amy get inside now", Said Sonic running to the Plane's wings. Amy jumped in, Tails started the engine and the heroes left.
Big swam under the water and tried to get away from the Island that way.
Meanwhile Shadow had reached the security hall; Eggman had just blow open the door.
"Shadow I don't know how to escape in time", said Eggman.
"I do, stay close", said Shadow running in. the timer ticked down 5…
"Shadow?" said Rouge, 4…
"CHAOS CONTROL!" shouted Shadow while grabbing hold of Eggman 3…
They disappeared while Sonic, Tails and Amy had just took off, 2…
"Come on Tails move it!" shouted Sonic, 1…
0:00
The island blew up as the heroes made it out just in time. The Dark team arrived on Ark.
"Phew! That was close", Said Eggman.
Big landed on the Pumpkin hill area. A desert like area famed for being both haunted and full of pumpkin shaped mountaintops. He noticed Knuckles was there digging about looking for the emerald shards.
Action stage: Pumpkin hill (Knuckles)
Knuckles found the Emerald shards and continued to head west towards Capitol City. Big followed him.
