"Heh. Well done my robots, you made an old man proud." Grinned Eggman.
"Why it was our pleasure…" began a robot when Metal Sonic pushed him out of the way.
"Doctor. I have the Chaos Emerald."
He held up the emerald.
"Excellent." Grinned Eggman. He reached out his hand to take it, but his creation pulled away.
"Remember our agreement I get to kill the hedgehog."
"What? That was never a part of the deal!" said Eggman, gritting his teeth.
"It is now." Said Metal Sonic coldly.
Eggman pressed a button under his sleeve soon Metal Sonic began electrocuting.
Eggman grinned again, "Don't ever speak to me that way again, my creation."
Metal Sonic grunted. "Yes of course. Master."
"I have plans for Sonic, yes Sonic the Hedgehog I will show you who you truly are and who you are supposed to be."
Sonic walked on the bridge, waiting for his cue. He pulled his glove up and turned on his communicator.
"Tails, are you in position."
Tails voice echoed through the radio.
"Yeah I'm in the Tornado, I see the tanker. The last Chaos Emerald is inside. They're keeping the Chaos Emerald in there in order to keep Eggman from it, fools it won't stop him.""Don't worry I'll just jump in and take it from them." Said Sonic grinning.
Sonic started running his fastest then at the tip of the bridge he jumped apparently to fall in the water, but he knew that it would be the death of him, he can't swim after all. He jumped onto the tanker. And Tails followed in his plane.
"All right Tails, I want you to fly around, don't come on
the ship it's too dangerous for us both to try it."
"But Sonic if you fall in the water…"
"That won't happen. Pick me up at the next bridge."
"All right, grab the emerald and get out of there fast."
"OK, see ya." Sonic turned off his communicator then he ran into the holds, jumping and swinging so the GUN agents didn't see him. He stopped when he heard a man and woman talking.
"That Dr. Eggman guy, he sure won't give up will he?" said the girl.
"Nope, he just took one of those emeralds. If there's one thing he doesn't do its give up."
"What about that blue hedgehog?" asked the girl.
"I don't know, nobody knows why he takes it upon himself to fight Eggman. I guess only he knows."
Actually I wonder about that too. Thought Sonic.
SPACE COLONY ARKThis place looks like hell. I haven't been here in so long.
Shadow stepped out of the transporter and walked through the central control room. There was the Eclipse Cannon. In front of it was the computer. Shadow activated it. It flashed on. Shadow entered the password.
MARIA
"Let's see here." Shadow pressed the keys and looked for missing files.
"You're not moving fast enough."
Shadow turned and punched and kicked the person. She screamed and hit the ground. Shadow realized who it was.
"Rouge the bat, what are you doing here?"
"I followed you here, I didn't think you'd lead me here."
"I didn't ask you to come."
Rouge got up.
"You didn't have to hit."
"You didn't have to come."
"I'm beginning to wish I didn't, there's no treasure here."
"Is that what you're here for? Don't you ever grow up? There's no treasure on this godforsaken place. End of story. Get lost."
Shadow pointed his finger at the transporter.
"First, I want to know what you're doing. I heard you want to find out about Sonic."
"Hmm, you could say that."
"Then move." She shoved him aside. "I'll find out."
Rouge typed on the computer. In no time she had accessed a secret file.
"Ha!" she yelled in triumph, but there was nothing. Instead a disc popped out.
"Huh?" She reached for it, but Shadow took it.
"I'll take that." He said.
Suddenly a message appeared on the screen. On the screen was Gerald Robotnik.
"The professor?!" exclaimed Shadow.
IF YOU ARE READING THIS MESSAGE THIS MEANS YOU HAVE UNCOVERED THE LAST OF MY WORK, THE TRUTH BEHIND THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM EXPERIMENT, WITH IT THIS SPACE COLONY ARK IS NOW NOTHING, IF YOU WISH TO LIVE I SUGGEST YOU EVACUATE NOW. YOU HAVE 10 MINUTES.
"Damn!" exclaimed Shadow.
"I don't know about you, but I want to live." Said Rouge.
Shadow wondered.
"He must have inserted this before he lost his mind and
programmed the colony for collision."
"Stop thinking and come on." Exclaimed Rouge, she took Shadow's hand and they
both stepped into the transporter.
Approximately 10 minutes later, the Space Colony exploded all traces of the good professor's work was no more.
Sonic heard something in the sky, but he didn't know what it meant.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you have nothing to worry about. It
is believed the explosion in the sky was just a star going nova nothing to
worry about."
"I wonder about that." Said Sonic. He went into the holds and saw the Chaos
Emerald.
"The Yellow Chaos Emerald." He said. He reached for it, only for it to be stolen by Metal Sonic. Metal Sonic's hand grabbed it before Sonic had a chance to reach for it.
"You" sneered Sonic.
"Yes, me. I'm glad to see you here Sonic the Hedgehog, I can finally kill you and have my revenge."
Metal Sonic lunged at the blue hedgehog, but Sonic jumped and snatched the Chaos Emerald.
"Eh, I don't think so." Said Sonic.
He chuckled and tossed the Chaos Emerald, but before he could catch it again, Metal Sonic grabbed it.
"Don't think I learned anything from our previous encounters. I don't have time for a fight. I wish to kill you immediately despite what the doctor says."
"What does Eggman want this time?"
"The same old thing, but there's something about you he's interested in. Hell
if I know, and I don't care."
Sonic stood there.
"With this emerald I'll destroy this entire ship you with it!"
The Chaos Emerald began to glow, and a golden aura surrounded Metal Sonic, Sonic watched too shocked to move, when suddenly the walls began to burst. Sonic activated his communicator. But the water pushed him onto the floor.
A G.U.N guard stood at his post when suddenly the wall burst behind him.
"What the hell?" he exclaimed, but it was too late to do anything water began pulling into the entire ship. The soldiers tried to run, but the water caught them. Sonic got up and looked at Metal Sonic, he had just ripped a hole in the middle of the ship.
"STOP!" he yelled.
Metal Sonic just turned and looked at Sonic.
"Your not a worthy adversary after all, you'll die Sonic! Along with everyone on this boat!"
"Sonic, what's going on? The ship is exploding?" Tails' voice came from the communicator.
Metal Sonic then ripped the tanker in half with an incredible energy blast. Sonic jumped at Metal Sonic, but with a quick elbow, Sonic was knocked into the ocean water, he sunk slowly into the deep water.
Suddenly the tanker split in two. Metal Sonic flew out. Tails approached the ship with his plane, and watched the horror.
Metal Sonic looked at the damage.
"No problems, doctor, I have the last Chaos Emerald.""Good, come back immediately. I have interesting info awaiting here about Space Colony ARK."
"Of course." With that Metal Sonic took off.
Tails flew the Tornado 2 into the wreckage.
"Sonic's got to be alright, he's got to be!" Tails held back tears as he skimmed the boat, but the blue streak was nowhere to be seen.
Soon the tears came rolling out.
"SONIC!" he screamed.
