Chapter 26
Shadow followed his instincts. He let his feet take him away from Mystic Ruins, through Station Square and out toward the dessert. As he approach the desolate wasteland, he suddenly stopped. Clearer than ever, he could sense a chaos emerald nearby.
He looked around and saw nothing but sand being blown about by the vast winds. But in the distance, he could vaguely make out a pyramid.
"It must be in there." He said to himself and sped off toward the pyramid.
Sure enough, as he got closer and closer to the pyramid he could sense an emerald's presence more than ever. He stopped and looked up at the massive structure, wondering how to get inside.
But then he saw that he didn't need to think up an idea to break in. There was a break in one of the walls, looking as if something had smashed through it. Shadow pondered about why this was but didn't waste any time. He jumped through the wall and into the pyramid.
Shadow raced through various long corridors, slowly beginning to recognise his surroundings. He suddenly stopped, as his mind finally clicked.
"This is Eggman's Pyramid Base!" he said aloud.
He looked around, rather confused.
"I thought that Eggman had abandoned it, yet it looks as if the power supply is back up and running."
He shook his head.
"Doesn't matter! I have to get that chaos emerald, fast!" he reminded himself and continued down the long corridors.
He soon reached the door to the main control room. He kicked down the door and saw a shocking sight. The room had been almost completely destroyed. Sharp sparks of electricity flew about randomly and machines were smashed and broken. Broken wires dangled down from the ceiling, slowly swaying to and fro. The place had been left just like Tails' workshop had been.
Shadow carefully walked inside, shielding himself from the sparks and looking around. Suddenly, he heard a weak voice trying to speak up. Shadow blinked.
"Hello? Is anyone here?"
He walked further in.
"The chaos emerald must be in this room. It's presence is very strong." He thought to himself.
He then saw the movement again. It came from just behind a pile of various broken machine parts. Shadow went there and, to his astonishment, found Eggman lying there, bruised broken and bleeding.
There were bruises on his face and various cuts but, most noticeable, there was large metal rod sticking through Eggman's chest. Shadow cringed but knelt down by Eggman.
"Eggman! What happened here?"
"It's…all over now" Eggman spluttered.
"What?"
"DX…100…it's re…belling…It wants …ultimate power and…has lost it's …allegiance to me…"
"It has 6 of the 7 emeralds. I can sense the last one is in here somewhere though."
"Yes…here…"
Eggman weakly held up his left hand and revealed the final chaos emerald. Shadow took the emerald and looked at it.
"I…managed…to keep it away…"
"Well…that was good of you Eggman…but don't think you're a hero now. You still deserve this you know." Shadow said, rather cold heartedly.
"I…know…" Eggman coughed.
Shadow blinked. Eggman then began to hyperventilate a little and then took his last breath.
Shadow stood up, looking at Eggman's body for a second, then at the chaos emerald.
"Chaos control" he said and disappeared in a bright light.
