Chapter five! Chapter five! Chapter five! Super hyperness!

Tails's workshop…

Knuckles had to stay over at his house so Tails can watch over his actions. I can't believe we got these cool watch phones! These are expensive! Eggman probably stole them…

Tails tried them out. He looked at his watch and pronounced clearly "Shadow."

The watch phone contacted Shadow and Shadow's face came up on Tails's watch.

"Whaddoyawantnow? Itswaypastmidnight…" Shadow mumbled.

"I still can't believe these watch phones!" Tails squealed.

"Is this the 3rd time you woke me up because of that?" Shadow asked.

"No… 4th… what do you think Eggman's plan is?" Tails asked him.

"Oh, I know you asked me this… 6 times now… go to sleep!" Shadow yelled.

"Shut up! You'll wake up Rouge!" Tails said.

"Whatever…"

Tails crawled into bed, eager to find out what awaits him the next morning

And now it's the next morning…

"So, right now… while we're here in your lab… Pro.Dow. is out there?" Shadow asked Eggman.

Eggman pointed at the huge computer screen and they saw Tails… talking to Sonic, Amy, Charmy, and Cream.

Tails stared wildly at the robotic replica of himself. He could not believe his eyes. Pro.Dow. acted just like he would.

"What's your first plan, Egghead? Tiny kept waking me up to find out…" Shadow said pointing to Tails.

"Met.Ic. will explain that to you… Met.Ic!" Eggman called out.

Met.Ic. walked over there, carrying blueprints. He dropped them on the huge table in Eggman's lab. Shadow pulled Tails from the huge screen and sat him down.

"Okay, Sonic is oblivious to all of this…" Met.Ic. said.

"Yeah? And what about Knuckles and Rouge? They are too…" Tails said, pointing to 'Leo' and 'Gemini'.

Leo and Gemini nodded. "Yes… like right now… Rouge is calling out to her loved one… she doesn't know what's going on…" Gemini said.

"Oh really?" asked Shadow with a smile. "What is she saying, exactly?" he asked, curiously.

"She's calling out to Knuckles…"

"Oh… that's so sweet…" Tails said.

"Whatever…" Shadow mumbled.

"First… we need the 7 Chaos Emeralds!" Eggman said loudly.

"I have one… but I have to get it back afterward… Or I'll skin you, Eggman… then kill you…" Shadow said.

Shadow put his emerald on the middle of the table.

"I have a fake one…" Tails said, holding a yellow emerald. (SA2B)

"Isn't that the one that made my ultimate plan backfire?" Eggman asked angrily.

"You don't want it?"

"No, of course we want it… the more, the powerful…" Shadow said coolly.

"Yes! My plan will go perfectly!" Eggman shouted.

Shadow cleared his throat. "A-hem…"

"I mean… 'our plan'… I thought of it! You guys are just… in it!"

Writer's block… trying to prevent… grr… didn't work… any suggestions?
