Well here is chapter 2 everybody, hope you enjoy it.

Amy and Cream was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast, though they weren't very good at it... anyway, as Cream dropped the eggs, Amy had to make a dive to catch them.

"Cream, go get the guys, I'll take care of things here."

"Okay Amy." Said Cream, being her enthusiastic self, she ran down the hall and Shouted "C'mon you lazy bones! Time for Breakfast!" and as she turned around, she felt a strong gust and scratched her head, "huh, must be an open window, or Sonic is really hungry this morning." She giggled as she headed back toward the kitchen.

As Shadow walked aimlessly around the forest, he began to wonder where he was. "I felt something here... but I don't see anything..."

Shadow started hearing laughter, as he covered his ear, he screamed "Get out of my head!" the laughter grew louder, and Shadow grew frantic to get rid of it, he staggered around and sat down, the laughter turned to growls as he lifted his head to see a wolf closing in on him.

He jumped to his feet and he ran down the forest path with the wolf on his tail. As the wolf grew closer, Shadow tripped and stared in terror as the wolf lunged at him, but then, out of nowhere, a single bullet pierced the wolf and killed it instantly.

"My, that was a close one, wouldn't you say?"

"That voice... YOU! Dr. Robontik!" Shouted Shadow as he turned toward his direction, just to make sure.

"Yes Shadow, but I'm not here to fight."

"Then what are you here for?" Shadow was shaking now, not sure what will happen.

"I know about your problem, and I'm here to help."

"What do you know about me?!?" Shadow was furious now.

"Don't think I haven't seen you Shadow, on the A.R.K. you kept calling that traitorous rouge Maria, and when we saw that message on the A.R.K., it came clear to me, you missed Maria, and I can help you bring her back."

"... What do you want me to do?"

"It's not that simple my friend, first you must regain my trust, and for you to do that... you must steal the Chaos emeralds for me, once again, but lucky for you, I have one already... if you follow me to my new lab, I can show you a taste of the emeralds power."

Shadow wasn't to enthusiastic about working for Dr. Robotnik again, but if it was to revive Maria...

"I'll do it. I'm at your command... master" Said Shadow as he followed Dr. Robotnik to his lair.

"Well, dig in everyone!" as the crew was about to dig in; Sonic interrupted them, "Hey! Where's Tails? And Shadow?"

Everyone started looking around and saw Tails coming into the kitchen with a very sad face

"Tails? You looked paler than Amy hugging Sonic (okay that was bad...)" Blurted Knuckles, "Ow! What was for, Amy?" Knuckles Scowled rubbing the spot Amy hit him at.

"None of your business. Tails, what's the matter?" Amy said, with a worried look on her face.

"It's Shadow... he's gone"

"Gone?!? What do you mean he's gone?" Cream shouted tearfully.

Everyone stared at Cream, normally she was a quiet rabbit, and so her yelling surprised them all.

"Last night, he said that he had some things to find, I didn't know what he meant, but he never came back."

"I can't believe it, just when I think I got him figured out, this happens" grumbled Sonic as he turns on the news.

"This is Channel 7 news, reporting live From Station Square, there has been a bank robbery and the criminal is fleeing the scene at an alarming rate"

"Finally some action! Haven't had some robot-bashing Fun since we destroyed the A.R.K.!" Knuckles blurted with a mouth full of food.

"Yeah... Amy! Cream! Hold down the fort and look after Tails, he's in no condition to go any where, Knuckles, you and Rouge will go with me to stop the thief. Lets go!"

Sonic, Knuckles, And Rouge ran down the path toward Station Square at top speed.

As they arrive, they see broken glass everywhere near the entrance, some over turned Police cars, and lots of hurt people.

"Who would do such a thing?" Rouge said with a terrified look on her face.

"Robotnik..." said Sonic, tightening his grip, "he's the only heartless fiend that would do a thing like this... hey, what's that?" Sonic bends down and picks up a piece of paper, as he opens it, he discovers a map that has "To do list" on top

"Wow, what are the odds?" Knuckles exclaims.

"yeah, just when you thought Dr. Robotnik couldn't get any stupider" Sonic replies.

"Sonic, you seem to be using that phrase a lot" Rouge said.

"I know, I feel like I'm cursed or something... Knuckles, read the list"

"lets see... the Bank is gone, but the next thing on the list is Prison Island. Talk about irony"

"Then we're off to Prison Island!" Sonic announced as the trio headed toward the next destination.

Meanwhile...

"Shadow, you brought me the emerald, that's a good thing, but you lost the list? It took me forever to write it! Oh well, here's another one, now Go!"

"Yes sir..." as Shadow walked out the gate, he said to himself, "Maria... I will bring you back... some day"

I wonder if Eggman will keep his promise... I doubt it. Anyway, that was chapter 2, did you enjoy it? I hope so... also, Chapter 3 is in works people, so give me (some) credit, I'm trying my best.
