Chapter 11- (this has no title 'cause as it stands, I can't think of one...)
Shadow and Midnight watched their surroundings. Both were cautious of ggman because he wasn't in sight. Midnight suddenly heard quick paced robotic footsteps approachng but couldn't find where they were coming from until she felt a sharp punch hit her in her jaw. She was sent flying backwards and towards the the pool of magma. She looked up to see something she didn't expect.
"Metal Sonic?" Midnight gasped.
"That's right! I've been making some adjustments to him so I could destroy Sonic. But this is just as good, to give it a test run." Eggman laughed loudly.
Midnight jumped away from the lava and charged at Metal Sonic. Metal disappeared and appeared behind the fox and hit her right in her side. Midnight fell to the ground holding her torso.Then she rose and faced the machine version of her ex-best friend. Suddenly with blinding speed, Metal Sonic grabbed her and held her by her neck.
"Hands off you worthless piece of scrap metal!" Shadow cried as he charged at the robot.
He kicked Metal Sonic, sending it jerking forward. It turned to face Shadow dropping the fox in turn. Shadow stood glaring a the machine. Midnight scrabled away to recover for a moment. She breathed harder as she ran away from Metal Sonic.
Shadow on the other hand ran straight at the robot. He prepared to punch it but it disappeared before he could touch it. He teetered off balance for a moment and looked around. Suddenly Metal Sonic appeared Shadow. The hedgehog turned around in surprise and recieved a kick that sent him reeling backwards into a rock.
Midnight gasped and then looked around frantically to see where Eggman or the robotic hedgehog was. She spotted Eggman and smirked.
"If I get to Eggman , I can probably shut Metal down." She thought.
She took off for flight but before she got to Eggman something grabbed her tails. She screamed in pain as she was pulled out of the air and thrown to the ground. She was then thrown into a wall. Shadow had finally gotten up and was going for Eggman as well. He leaped into the air and ricoceted off one rock another heading straight for the mad scientist.
He almost reached him but Metal appeared in the middle of one of his jumps. He dropped to the ground after a crash colusion with Metal. Midnight dashed to Shadow.
"That robot is blocking our way to Eggman!" Midnight growled angrily helping him up. "We won't be able to shut him down!"
"Well we're just going to have to take it out ourselves." Shadow said with a smirk.
Midnight nodded and they both scanned the area looking for the robotic menace. Midnight saw him first and shouted: "There!"
Shadow looked and saw Metal approaching in an almost blinding speed. He then grabbed Midnight by the hand and dashed away. As the chase progressed, Metal had gained on them.
"I hope you have a plan!" Midnight cried.
"I do! On my mark I want you to fly us into the air alright?" Shadow yelled back.
"Are you insane? What good will that do?" Midnight was disbelieving.
"If that Egghead made Metal anything like Sonic, I'll bet he has to come to a screeching halt to instantly change opposite directions instead of just veering left and right! So just do as I say!" Shadow shouted.
Midinight looked at him with slight worry. She wasn't too sure.
"Trust me!" Shadow said with a grin.
Midnight paused and then nodded. She then looked over her shoulder. Metal was gaining fast and Shadow was headed directly for a large pool of lava!
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" Midnight screamed frantically.
Shadow didn't answer, he just picked up speed. Metal did the same and he got even closer. Midnight yelped with fear. They were almost to the lava now. Midnight's eyes widened.
"SHADOW?" Midnight cried out.
"NOW!" Shadow screamed.
Midnight began to fly upwards and with all her strength, she lifted Shadow with her. She then threw him up towards a flat surface on top of a rock. Metal looked up following them with his leering red eyes and then to the lava. Midnight had began to advabce higher when a sudden powerful jerk pulled her back towards the ground. Metal had grabbed her and was pulling her toward the lava with it!
"OH NO! SHADOW HELP ME!" She screamed.
"MIDNIGHT!" Shadow cried as he jumped to the ground in a frantic rush to save the fox.
Eggman then sent robots to stop him. They grabbed him and held back. Shadow was thrown to the ground. Metal then fell into the lava pool still holding onto the screaming fox. Eggman laughed hard as the two disappeared from sight.
The screaming stopped and there was an explosion.
"NOOOO!" Shadow screamed loudly. "MIDNIGHT!"
Meanwhile...
Everyone suddenly got a painful jerk in their bodies. Sonic was so overwhelmed he fell to his knees. He gasped for air as beads of sweat trickled down his face. He looked up to see Amy rushing up the stairs.
"Sonic! Did you feel that?" She cried.
"Yeah..." he murmurred.
Knuckles walked in and said: " I felt it too."
"What was it?" Amy asked quietly.
"I don't..." Sonic began. Then he heard a voice in his head. It was loud and clear. It was the voice of Tails. His best friend. The one he had known for so long. Then one that fought along side him for before since he could remember.
Flashback
"Hey Tails?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah?" The small fox asked as "he" skipped a rock across the lake they were sitting in front of.
"We're pals right?" the hedgehog asked.
"Yup!" Tails replied happily.
"And we're always gonna be pals right?" he then asked.
"Of course Sonic!" Tails smiled reassuringly at him. "Why'd ya ask?"
"Just making sure. But it was a stupid question to ask. I already knew the answer." He said smiling back.
End of Flashback
"It's Tails!" He suddenly cried out.
Amy and Knuckles looked at him with confusion.
"Don't you get it? Tails is in trouble! I know she is! We need to find her and save her!" Sonic cried.
"But Sonic, you said..." Amy began.
"What I said isn't important. I don't know what I was saying, but I know it wasn't right. I was dead wrong to say what I said." Sonic sighed. "Now I need tomake it up to Tails... I just have o help her and maybe if I do... she'll come back with us..." Sonic said running down the stairs.
Amy and Knuckles were confused for a moment.
"We gotta help Sonic!" Amy cried suddenly. "Let's go round everybody up, We've gotta save Tails!"
