I finally got chapter 3 done, and for those who have a problem with my story, you can e-mail me, and I will (try to) solve the problem, thanks to those who don't give me trouble. Enjoy chapter 3

As Shadow moved closer to Prison Island, he looked from the helicopter and saw that it was in a different location, "Wow... didn't know that they built a new Prison Island, though they would have to anyway since most of that military crap is there."

As Shadow came closer to his destination, he jumped out of the plane (that was 1237 feet above sea level) and dive bombed toward the island, and before he hit the bottom, he did a flip and activated his rocket shoes and he floated down gently and as he landed, he said, "I need to lay low and be careful... the last thing I want to do is..."

BRUUUUUUOOOOOOAAAAAAAMMMMMM!

(Well... something like that)

"... Trip an alarm..." as the alarm continued, the military started heading towards Shadows' direction, he frantically looked for a place to disappear, quickly, but as he did, the military arrived and Shadow found himself surrounded.

"Damn, didn't think they were here too" as he turned around, the military started shooting.

"Don't move! We have you surrounded!"

"Kinda hard when you're being shot at!" shouted Shadow, dodging bullets left and right. He began to hear something coming... something big... as he turned toward the direction of the noise; he was shot in the arm. As he grabbed his arm, the military moved closer... big mistake.

Shadows' eyes grew red and fire was in his eyes as he grabbed the nearest person and slammed him into another.

That was all they needed to open fire on Shadow again. He began to mimic the machine guns' rat of fire as he shot wave after wave of his Chaos Spear; hitting everyone with supreme accuracy, he turned his attention to the tanks and glared at them... and one exploded. The other tank quickly retreated.

Then Shadow fell to his knees and returned to normal, "What has happened to me?" as he looked up, he saw jets moving toward him, "No time to find out" he said running towards the main vault; knowing that's where the emeralds were last time.

He arrived at the vault and examined it, "Rouge made this look so easy... oh well, here goes nothing," Shadow muttered to himself, before punching the middle and opening the safe.

He took a minute to rest his hurting hand, and went inside to search the vault. While he was searching the vault, he heard a familiar voice.

"Just like old times, huh Shadow?" said Rouge the bat, holding an emerald.

"I don't know what you're up to, but we are going to put a stop to it, though it's kinda weird seeing you here." Said Knuckles, grasping an emerald

"Yeah Shadow, you're slipping" said Sonic, tossing an emerald into the air and catching it.

"Give me the emeralds," said Shadow, "Now!"

"Don't think so Shadow, I have no idea what you're going to do with thes, but were not going to give these to you" Sonic said with a frown.

Shadow wasn't happy with the response and lunged at Rouge and tried to snatch the emerald.

"Hey! Back off pal!" Knuckles yelled pounding Shadow in to the wall.

"Knuckles, I didn't know you cared!" Rouge said, blushing.

"What?! NO! I was just... protecting the... emerald!" Knuckles said with a blush.

"Yeah, right. You love bucket you!" Sonic said with a laugh.

While the Sonic and Knuckles started to scrap, Shadow rose from the floor and grabbed Knuckles and threw him into a wall.

"I will take those emeralds, or you will suffer the same fate as your friend" Shadow said, holding the emerald that Knuckles had. He then turned toward Rouge and started walking towards her.

"S-s-stay back! I don't want to hurt you!"

He moved closer to her and that's when she saw his eyes, they were blood red and he had fire in his eyes. She started to back away and closed her eyes and she gave him a few good kicks. She opened her eyes but didn't see Shadow; she looked around, trying to find him but couldn't find him.

"Rouge! Shadow's above you!" screamed Sonic, at the top of his lungs as he ran toward her, but couldn't get to her fast enough as Shadow dropped down near Rouge and slammed her into Knuckles.

"S-S-Shadow? What happened to you?" Sonic stammered walking away from Shadow. This isn't the Shadow I remember!"

"You're right... I'm not the Shadow you remember!" Shadow threw the two emeralds into the air and used the emeralds to super-charged the Chaos Spear, and Sonic gasped as the spears soared through the air like a hot knife through butter and hit Sonic repeatedly.

Shadow grabbed the emerald and watched Sonic fall back, "Sweet dreams hedgehog, but have no fear, I didn't kill you, but when you wake up, this will all be a memory" Shadow walked out into the open and used the Chaos emerald to warp away.

"S-Shadow..." Sonics' final words before falling unconscious.

Three hours later...

"Ugh... what... where? Knuckles? Rouge? Are you all right?" Sonic shot up and looked around to find his friends.

"Yeah... got some sore spots, but were okay" Knuckles replied.

"What happened to Shadow? We have to find him!" sobbed Rouge.

"First things first, we need to check on Amy and them." Sonic pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number to his house.

"... ... No answer, that's a bad sign, lets head back guys!" Sonic, Knuckles, and Rouge ran toward the tornado 2 and Sonic started it up, Knuckles sat in the back, and Rouge flew off toward the house, leaving the guys behind.

They arrived at the house and Sonic ran inside yelling, "Amy! Cream! Where are ya'll? What the...?"

To be continued...

How was that for a story? I hope it was good, and as you noticed, I changed it from a mystery to Action/Adventure. And I upped it to P.G. 13; just to be safe, anyway, keep a look out for Chapter 4! Later peeps!
