Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory
Chapter 6 - Half of the moon is gone
Half of the lies you tell aren't true
"Shadow what do you think its like down there on Earth?" I asked shadow
"I honestly don't know. It must be a great place as the professor has said numerous times, that the reason he exists is to make the people happy. To make people happy through the power of science", replied Shadow, looking glum.
"What's the matter shadow?" I asked
"Oh Maria, I just don't know what to believe anymore. Sometimes I wonder why I was created, what my purpose is, why I live", replied Shadow.
"No-one really knows that Shadow, I don't know why I exist either. Maybe you're more of a natural being that you think", I said
"Maria…" said Shadow.
Back on Ark the dark team began plotting again. Shadow gazed at the Earth as Rouge approached him.
"Why so melancholy? That was so unlike you Shadow, to come rescue me. Well your ability to use the Chaos control certainly came in handy", said Rouge
"Ha! You know I didn't save you. I was only looking out for the chaos emeralds", replied Shadow.
"Yeah yeah! But that's not the whole story now is it?" said Rouge
"Are we ready to begin then?" asked Eggman
"Yes, but we only have 6 emeralds", Said Rouge
"That's more than enough for the demonstration. Well then lets get this show on the road", Said Shadow. Everyone left for the control room, Eggman took his place in between a camera and a blue screen, Shadow had the camera and Rouge broadcasted the message to the people of Earth.
Citizens of Earth, lend me your ears and listen very carefully. My name is Dr. Ivo Robotnik, better known as Dr. Eggman. I'm the greatest scientific genius in the world and it's time the world realised that. Perhaps you doubt my genius; well then look up to the moon and prepare to be shocked.
The rock around Ark blew up with a light blue light. Inside was a large cannon shaped to be the nose of a familiar face. The cannon charged up and fired very close to the Earth. But the Earth wasn't the target. The beam headed towards the moon and created a huge crater. Half of the moon was gone as the debris orbited around the satellite.
You have 24 hours to surrender the world to me; or else the Earth will be next.
Eggman laughed as a countdown began. The clock was set and the day was forever known as Day X.
Back in the City our heroes looked on from Capitol City.
"Whoa! Half of the moon is…Gone!" shouted Amy
"Eggman, that creep never knows when to give up," said Sonic
"But how could he harness so much power", Said Tails
"It must be the Chaos Emeralds. Yeah that's why he was collecting them", said Sonic. Tails pulled out the yellow Chaos emerald, "Tails?"
"The mayor of Station Square gave this to me for stopping Eggman's missile threat. It was a shame chaos destroyed it. Anyway the chaos emeralds are like magnets. I can use this one to find out where the others are", said Tails.
"The three of you, stop where you are. Put your hands up into the air", Said the police.
"I'll take care of the police, you go to the centre of the city and hide for a while", Said Sonic.
"Ok, see ya later", said Tails, walking off in his mech.
"The three of you? Hey that includes me too. Hey wait you guys", said Amy following.
Action stage: Mission street (Tails)
Big saw Tails running from the military on the suspension bridge. He decided to watch from the tower holding it up. He fell back into the water. Tails meanwhile found his safe area as Sonic caught up with them. Amy too landed panting and gasping for breath.
"Hey guys why do you always leave me behind?" Said Amy. Sonic just smiled.
"If you can't keep up with us why don't you just go home", said Tails
"No way! GUN are after me as well you know. It was me who released Sonic. He owes me", Said Amy
"Dream on girl. Thanks for saving me and all but we have bigger more important problems and you'll just get in the way", Said Sonic.
"Well, you can't get rid of me that easily Sonic", Said Amy
"I know, I know", Said Sonic.
"Hey we do have a psychopathic doctor trying to blow up the world, and all you can do is argue. You really should get married", Said Tails. Amy Smiled.
"What?" said Sonic panicking, "no you're right lets get going before we get caught again"
Tails just laughed, Sonic ran off.
"Aw come on Sonic, it was a joke", Said Tails, "Oh come on Amy grab hold, we have to follow him". And so they did.
Meanwhile Knuckles was busy in the mines looking for the emerald shards. The mines have become flooded and haunted after a freak accident. Big followed Knuckles to the mines as well, but soon left afterwards.
"It seems Knuckles is just reclaiming pieces of the Master Emerald. But I know Rouge is also going after the shards too. Well I best go look for Sonic or Eggman. I don't know where Sonic is but I bet Eggman is in his desert base".
Action stage: Aquatic mine (Knuckles)
After collecting the shards Knuckles stood still trying to find a signal no matter how faint.
"That's strange I'm not getting any kind of signal besides one very strong signal. It isn't like the other shard's signals; perhaps it's a chaos emerald. Well only one way to find out", Said Knuckles heading towards the city.
