Chapter 10:

Eclipse Cannon Threat

Eggman stood in front of the control panel while Shadow stood to his right while Rouge stood on the other side. Eggman sneered before pulling a lever.

:---:

Back on Earth, the trio of Sonic, Amy, and Tails had made it to Station Square where they had hid in a small area. Suddenly, they heard the sudden sound of the huge monitor on top of a building change to show Eggman standing.

"What the?!" Sonic gawked just as the Eggman on screen laughed.

:---:

Mona felt a sudden memory envelop her and shuddered. It was almost like the event she had seen on TV except she was caught in the middle of it.

"Oh god…what have I done…" She shook her head and bit her lip.

:---:

"Citizens of Earth lend me your ears and listen to me very carefully. My name is Doctor Eggman, the world's greatest scientist, and soon to be the greatest ruler!" Eggman sneered as he watched the fearful looks of the people who were watching. "Now to reveal what is to be the greatest era of the greatest empire of all time! (Does he say that? I don't really have a good speaker on the mini-screen.)" He immediately pressed a switch on the control panel.

Outside, the spherical space colony glowed before one half of it broke off revealing the rest of the Eclipse Cannon. The restraint arms surrounding the cannon separated slightly just as a sky blue aura surrounded it as energy from the six Chaos Emeralds swept through it. A slight orb seemed to grow on the tip before it was suddenly fired straight at the moon.

:---:

The trio watched in horror was one half of the moon was blown off.

"Half of the moon is gone!!!" Amy shouted.

"It's Eggman! Argh! That creep never gives up!" Sonic grimaced.

"But how did he harness all that energy?" Tails asked.

"It's got to be the Chaos Emeralds." Sonic started. "Yeah! That's the reason those guys were looking for them!" Tails paused before pulling out a Yellow Chaos Emerald. Sonic and Amy looked at Tails.

"At least we know they don't have this one." The fox smiled. "The Chaos Emeralds are like magnets. I could use them to track down Eggman!"

"Great idea!" Sonic smirked before the three turned to hear sirens. "Okay Tails, I'll take care of the police while you try to get out of here, and find Eggman!"

"Got it!" Tails nodded before jumping back into the Cyclone with Amy as Sonic played cat and mouse with the police cars.

:---:

Mona continued watching as pieces of the moon spread out through the area. She clenched her fist and felt a feeling of guilt spread through her as she gripped the handle of her sword and somewhat pulling it out before shoving it back into the scabbard.

"It's a nightmare…and I helped…" She thought. "I have to live with my choice."

Shadow: Aw…

Are you being sympathetic?

Shadow: No…I was about to sneeze.

WHYYOULITTLE-!!!!! (Chases him around the room)
