Chapter 4: Action Gets Out

Note: If you noticed, chapter 2 and chapter 4 titles are linked. It would be like 'planning gets there, action gets out' kind of thing.
Shadow felt a rumble in the earth. Small sparks came from the cuffs since his body was moving. The single light above him sputtered, then shut off, just like that.

"What the? Sir! There's a blackout of some sort! Rewire the power fast!" The man screamed into his walky-talky that guarded the door, but saw a weird sort of glow from Shadow's table. "Oh my…" he couldn't finish the sentence as a disk of energy hit him in the stomach, knocking him to the ground.

"Yah, hold me all you want, but all it causes is pain…to you." Shadow didn't bother lighting a path for me as the doors opened and bunches of shielded soldiers busted in with so many flashlights, who needed lights. The put their lights to the cold table, but it was empty. The looked at each other, then heard the sound of a hanging light swinging from movement as the general used his to look up. And sure enough, it swung hard, but still no hedgehog. Shadow looked down on them from the ventilation pipe that he laid on top for cover and didn't dare to move.

Moments went by as Tails had covered himself with his tails and used a rock as a shield. He could hear the sizzle of the trees around, since the road here was lined with them. The patch of grass that is under him is now the only grass for three miles. He slowly uncurled himself, some burns on his arm, but nothing horrible. His attention went straight to the crater where the giant machine had once stood. Nothing was left; everything was gone, except piles and piles of dirt. Overturned cars were smashed against any standing, bare tree. Policemen lay on the street, but not dead. Their clothes were torn and even slightly black, but still wearable. Tails didn't care if they all died or not, he just wanted Sonic.
Shadow knew it was time, and lunged at the guards. He was quick enough to destroy flashlights, but now it was time to take them out. He smashed into the blind men's heads and tripped many others, hitting them in the back to keep them down.

"Defeating a few of my officers may get you out of this room, but you'll never get out alive!" The general called out in the darkness, still unaware to his surroundings. The black hedgehog was already gone, down the long hall, and in the prisoners' room. Many animals were frantic, their night eyes still not kicked in yet. Shadow quickly opened all the doors and let them all out, but the girl was at the end. The creatures had all be out before, so they knew the way.

Tails was frantic now. A good five minutes had past and still no sign off life. He flew in circles around the hole, but then saw it. His eyes were so keen now from practice that he saw even just the white finger from a glove. He let his tails go so he could fall as fast as he could. He started to move the dirt and rocks, his strength increased from wrestling with Knuckles and Sonic. He managed to pull the blue hedgehog free, as he showed life by coughing and groaning.

"Sonic! You're alive!" Tails' face couldn't get any happier as he looked at his best friend. Though it just snapped in his brain how hurt he was. Sonic's leg was bent in a way that's unnatural, and his arm was still bleeding from the glass. His head had a deep gash and his body was burnt. Tails had to carry him back, flying most of the way. As the small fox looked back, the power plant was gone.

Shadow was face to face with at least twenty men, all having stun rays, tranquilizers, and even guns. The girl who helped him before stood behind him, in total fright. It gave him strength to fight, but not just to get himself free, but her, too. Now the G.U.N members all had their weapons pointed, their fingers in the trigger, ready to fire on the slightest sign of movement.
Aw...he cares for her...i think...maybe...who knows? More chapters may take a while because of my other stories sorry sniff dang cold! lol
