Chapter 8-The Second Article
Shadow picked it up and read:
September 31, 1997
"Mysterious militia goes to outer space, kills all on board space station"
Today, a mysterious secret black project robot militia invaded the Space Colony ARK, claiming to call themselves "G.U.N.". The ultimate life form, in question, was not found on board.
Among the victims were Dr. Gerald Robotnik, Maria Robotnik, and other employees who played an important role in creating the ultimate life form.
As of now, the cause of the crime is unknown, as is their whereabouts, which are currently being investigated.
There was a report of a space vehicle being found, but the vehicle's cockpit is too foggy to see inside of.
The last reported message coming from Space Colony ARK was: You people are crazy! I gave you a gift, and you turned it around on me! How dare you! I will sick Shadow on you for this! He may only be 5, but he is still gifted in many ways! Don't you dare underestimate him! Understand? All of you ungrateful humans who took everything away from me will feel my loss and despair!
The article was ripped off after that.
Shadow took the article with him, and headed back to Yaranzo Avenue to drop off Amy.
On one of the rooftops, Amy's belongings accidentally dropped. Shadow picked them up, and discovered Amy's true identity: the cloaked girl! Among her belongings were the cloak that the girl always wore, and the necklace that she wore. Shadow carefully examined the jewel, and found that it was the Blue Chaos Emerald! Shadow pocketed it, and realized that because of the gaping hole and ruined furniture, she had nowhere to sleep.
He put her on top of the bed that had been torn apart. He then jumped to the rooftop, and off, wondering why that happened in the way it did.
Shadow couldn't sleep that night, knowing about the many illegal things that he did. Was there a reason that he did what he wanted to do in such an erratic and violent manner? Shadow didn't know, but he did know that something big was going on.
That night, Amy woke up, and decided to go to the club down the street. On her way to the door, she spotted a note from Shadow. It said:
Dear Amy,
I'm terribly sorry for what happened tonight. Even more so, I'm sorry that I could not reverse what has been done. I discovered your identity, as the mysterious cloaked woman, on one of the rooftops, when your stuff fell out of your pocket. If you're wondering where that Chaos Emerald is, I have it. The robots were after it, and that's why they tore your house apart. I'll come by tomorrow morning, and get started on reconstruction.
Amy sighed, and walked off.
That night, Shadow went there as well, half asleep. He ordered a drink, and then went outside for a breath of fresh air. He looked up at the sky, and his eyes were fixed on the stars.
Suddenly, a shadow passed by in the sky, and the area behind him exploded. Shadow rushed to the scene, and used his Chaos Control to warp the people out, when suddenly, he heard a shriek from the back of the club. It was Amy!
Shadow rushed as fast as he could, but the smoke was too thick to see. He pulled out his Chaos Emerald, and said, "Chaos Ray!", and as he did the smoke was gone.
He quickly spotted Amy and brought her outside. And there, where he thought it was safe, was Eggman, in his super machine, the Egg Viper.
Shadow saw as Amy was taken into the evil monster's tail. The monster machine then constricted her, painfully crushing her.
Shadow used his sword trick, except this time, he combined three swords, to create a mammoth blade of immense power. Shadow then rushed at the monster, with no mercy, and lifted the blade above his head. A single swipe was all it took to destroy the metal menace.
Amy landed on the ground. Her arm was crushed in two places, and her hammer in pieces. She barely opened her eyes before fainting. Shadow rushed to her side, still glowing silver. He picked her up, and took her to the hospital.
