Chapter 18

Gerald's Revenge

Sonic and the others stopped as they saw Shadow in front of them.

"Hey Shadow, you came for a rematch?" Sonic asked.

"No, Mona sent me." Shadow responded. "She's going after Eggman with the fake Emerald."

"She's alive?" Amy asked receiving a nod.

"Follow me! We don't have much time!" Shadow said finally before racing in the direction of the control room. "I hope your plan works…whatever it is."

Eggman laughed as he walked towards the other six emeralds.

"Now begins the glorious era of the empire of Eggman!" He laughed before hearing accelerated footsteps. Eggman turned in time to see Mona rushing at him with the fake emerald in her hand.

"NO! GET AWAY FROM THERE!!!" She yelled before both of them tried keeping each other from the panel (fight cloud ensues…). Finally, both humans slammed both emeralds, real and fake, into the panel. Unfortunately, the lights dimmed and Mona looked around. "Great job Egg-belly!"

"What?! The cannon won't deploy!" Eggman shouted just as the mobians ran in. They all (except Shadow) gave out gasps of shock and amazement.

"I told you she's fine…" Shadow muttered to Sonic.

"What, you frame me and expect me to trust you?" Sonic asked bitterly.

"I AM NOT BLUE IN COLOR YOU DIM WIT!!" Shadow retorted. "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW I HAD A TWIN?!" Mona sighed before Eggman pointed an accusing finger at her.

"It was all going to plan until you showed up!" He ranted.

"So it was bound to happen, the real and fake emeralds merged, this probably shut down the whole system and stopped the cannon and power. But that's not going to help either of us out." Mona replied.

"What do you mean?!"

"You're going to cause something worse than the Eclipse Cannon though." Shadow shook his head remembering the pod containing the Bio-Lizard.

"But…it was your idea…!"

"My idea was out of revenge you idiot. I thought I was only going to have the cannon fire but after Mona got everything straight I see I've messed up big time. Including the fact I've allowed you to learn how to use it!" Shadow announced.

"Bout time he got it…" Sonic muttered.

"Shut up faker…" Shadow responded with a growl.

"HEY!!!" Sonic yelled before a tremor went throughout the space colony and the screen in front of the Chaos Emeralds switched on showing an old man who Mona recognized immediately.

"PROFESSOR GERALD!!!" She gasped.

"You know my grandfather?!" Eggman asked in shock.

"Well, uh…" Mona paused.

"We'll talk about it later!" Tails said.

"You ungrateful humans who took everything away from me shall feel my loss and despair!" Gerald announced with a hint of anger in his voice. "According to my calculations at the rate the colony is falling to Earth, it will shatter into pieces!"

Mona shook her head in disbelief. "He's crazy…"

"If you were along long enough you would have known him better." Shadow said to her.

"But how can we stop the colony from falling?!" Sonic asked.

"I've played this video game a few dozen times…this will work!" Mona thought before turning to Knuckles. "Wait, the Master Emerald can control the energies of the Chaos Emeralds right?"

"Yes?"

"We have to get the Master Emerald to stop the Chaos Emeralds and then we might have a chance to stop the collision of the space colony!" Mona said to them. Rouge shook her head with a smirk.

"It's official, you're extremely weird!" She said. "But it might work!"

"Okay, can you show us a map of the space colony and the shortcut to the main power generator?" The brunette asked.

"Sure thing!" Rouge said as she uploaded the map. Mona eventually pointed out everyone's job before they got to work as a team.

Note: Kids at my school constantly mistake Shadow for Sonic. I mean…they look extremely different! How can anyone mistake him for Sonic? For example…
