The Overlooked Link
By Master hunter
Notes:
This is a continuation of Arorn's brilliant fic, Sonic Adventure 4: The Darkness within. You could say that this is fanfiction based on someone else's fanfiction based on my fanfiction.
Basically this aims to bring everything back to normal, but figuring that out was much more difficult.

You should know the characters that belong to Sonic Team. Do I really have to repeat them?
The 3 Shadows, Joz the bat aka Master hunter, Miles Prower (character not name), the Annemuir, the terms Ultimate Rogues and Rose petals, and the concept behind Streak all belong to me.
The names Streak and Metal Miscreants belong to Arorn.

Prologue
BOOM! The sound of a huge explosion could be heard all around GUN's new prison. After what happened on Prison Island, the Government (more commonly referred to as GUN) had to make a brand new prison. The Security this time was much more intense than before but nothing could hold the genius.
Dr. Ivo Robotnik turned himself in after what happened to Sonic. He wanted to respect his noble sacrifice, but he didn't say anything about staying there. GUN knew that explosion could only mean one thing, someone wanted Eggman out or Eggman sent for someone to get him out.
But this time it was unexpected. Eggman didn't see this coming at all. In front of him stood a traitor to the Eggman Empire, the leader of the Metal Miscreants, Metal Sonic.
"Metal? I thought you abandoned my cause," said Eggman.
"I did. But you are the only one who could help us. Prepare to be shocked", said Metal.
"Huh?" asked Eggman.
Suddenly spotlights shone on the two villains. GUN naturally wasn't going to let them escape.
"Dr. Ivo Robotnik and Metal Sonic, stay where you are, we have you completely surrounded", said a GUN soldier.
"You think you can stop us?" asked Metal, "Nothing can stop me, especially since Sonic is dead"
"We won't let you escape", said the GUN soldier, "If they move an inch, shoot them"
Metal turned to Eggman.
"Grab hold", said Metal.
Eggman nodded and grabbed Metal's hand. Metal Sonic aimed for the hole in the wall he created earlier.
"Black shield!" shouted Metal Sonic. As he ran to the hole his black shield blocked all the bullets hitting him.
Metal Sonic jetted Eggman and himself out of the complex and out of sight. He met up with the other Miscreants, leaving Eggman with them. He turned as if to go back to the complex.
"There. You guys do what you have to do", said Metal.
"What are you planning Metal?" asked Miles.
"No-one shoots at me and gets away with it", said Metal.
"Now is not the time for that. If we don't do something soon he will die", said Miles.
"Who will die? Me?" asked Eggman confused.
"You'll find out soon enough", replied Mighty.
Metal still looked as if he was going to jet back to the prison complex.
"Metal? No, we need your speed. We can't leave him alone for too long. He's dying," said Miles.
"Ok. Grab hold", said Metal reluctantly turning around.
The Miscreants shot off into the distance.
