Chapter 10-The Defeat of Shadow

Shadow and Amy made their way to the island. Strangely enough, they thought that someone was watching them. But every time they turned their heads, that someone was gone.

Shadow looked around, and said, "You sure this is the place?"

He looked at the map, and from the looks of it, that island was exactly what they were looking for.

Suddenly, guard robots jumped out of a bush, and shouted, "Freeze!"

Shadow did just that, except he froze everything but himself, and when it was over, they were the only ones left with a head.

Amy said, "We're going to need to watch each other's backs. If we're caught again, then we might not survive to be a day older. "

They stealthily went in the military base, being careful of where they stepped. Mines were scattered across the floor, security cameras were lining the base, and guards were all over. There were even some turrets mounted to the walls. But they got through undetected.

Inside this area was a labyrinth. Shadow said, "I'll take one side, you take the other. Trace your steps."

Shadow and Amy went their separate ways, and as soon as Amy entered the area, she said, "Shadow! I found the exit!"

Shadow said, "But how is that possible? I found the exit!"

Amy took a single step forward, and a shruiken, or ninja-throwing star, was launched toward her feet. It landed where she was about to take a step. The floor in which the shruiken fell opened up, and underneath it was a pit leading into a bunch of spikes.

Amy saw what looked like a shadow of Espio, the chameleon from the Chaotix Detective Agency. He was standing on the roof of the maze, in a ninja style position.

Shadow just stared, wide-eyed and open-mouthed. He then asked Espio, "How did you know that was there?

Espio just stared, and walked away.

As they went along, at various spots they would have to dodge lasers, guards, security cameras, and other things. There were as many traps as there were guards, and when they reached the end, they came to a shocking conclusion.

As they entered the room, they quickly hid. Shadow peeked around the corner to see what was going on.

A guard robot entered the room, and so did a figure cloaked in darkness. The figure stepped into the light. It was Dr. Eggman! He then spoke to the robot.

"Is everything going according to plan?"

"Yes, sir. The article has been secured."

"Good. I want it incinerated."

"But sir, how will we remember the facts?"

"We can copy it on to a computer file in the black room."

"Understood. I will carry out your plans as needed."

"Wait. I've set up a security system in there, and it signifies that something is in there. Wait for them to come out. I'm relying on you, E-107 Alpha."

The robot saluted, and the two left the room. Shadow and Amy stealthily followed along.

At the end of a long corridor, Shadow and Amy spotted the robot walking into a room. Along the way, he dropped the article, and Shadow ran towards it.

Suddenly, Shadow was flung towards the wall, and a red light beamed on in a high part of the room.

Shadow yelled, "It's a trap! Get away!"

But he spoke too late. Before Amy realized what was going on, she was flung towards the wall so hard, she broke the wall.

She fell from where she was, and used her hammer to soften the fall and land on her feet. Shadow used his rocket shoes and the Shadow Reaver to try to slash at the thing, to no avail. The blade was knocked out of his hands and into the ground. He was punched right through the wall.

Amy was still recovering from the blow, and she couldn't move. Then, that robot thing went to step on her.

Shadow rocketed right through the wall, got his sword, and got underneath the robot's foot. He held it off until Amy ran away. He yelled, "CHAOS CONTROL!" Time came to a complete halt, and Shadow ran, stumbling. He kept on running until he was out of energy, and then he passed out.
