Chapter 2: Trouble Starts
"What was that for?" Shadow shouted as he got up. "Nothing." The object replied, "Just decided to drop in and let you know something that's all." "Seriously Sonic, I'm in no mood to play!" "Umm…Shadow?" Sonic called from the floor. "I don't have red eyes, then obviously I'm the real Sonic." "OK? Then who are you?" Shadow asked pointing at the other Sonic." "My name is M-Sonic," the android said. "I was sent here by Dr. Robotnick to do things of which most of it I will not say." "You sound like a human," Sonic inquired. "But your name is M-Sonic. So I'm guessing M stands for Metal. Eggman just keeps on getting better at this." "He does, I can trick anyone here that I'm the real Sonic." M-Sonic replied. "Enough talking." Shadow called.
Shadow dived towards M-Sonic. M-Sonic however, jumped upwards so Shadow would land under him. Just as M-Sonic landed; Shadow flew his legs towards M-Sonic forcing him to do a handstand. M-Sonic was immediately launched about 10 meters away from where Shadow was lying. Although he was flown through the air at high speed, M-Sonic still landed on his feet.
Hearing a quiet hum, Sonic looked up into the sky. Flying at about 1,000ft was Tails new prototype. "Yo, Tails!" Sonic screamed. Tails looked down to see who had just called his name. "Sonic!" Tails joyfully called. Very soon Tails was on the ground. "Who's this other Sonic?" Tails asked. "Don't listen to him," Sonic replied. "Remember that I have green eyes not red. Can you do something to harm him?" "Guns nor missile can hurt me at all." M-Sonic said coolly. "Why don't you give it a try?"
Quickly Tails fired a radar-homing missile. M-Sonic leaped backwards into the air, dodging the missile. "All right, try this one for size!" Tails launched four missiles one right after another. M-Sonic back flipped again and landed on his feet just as the missile exploded in front of him. The second missile which was fired headed towards M-Sonic at full speed. M-Sonic caught the missile and threw it at Tails' plane. The entire was instantly ignited and soon exploded. Tails flew away from the plane at high speed. The explosions also exploded the next tow missiles which were heading for M-Sonic.
"I don't get it!" Sonic shouted. Everything that Eggman builds must have a weak spot." "Well anyways," M-Sonic began. "You should be protecting the Chaos Emeralds from harm so that they wouldn't go into the wrong hands." "There gone now!" Sonic said. "Well!" M-Sonic showed the two hedgehogs (Tails landed somewhere else.) a bright green chaos emerald. "I guess you won't be needing this," M-Sonic said. Immediately, Sonic ran up to M-Sonic and punched him. M-Sonic shifted his head to avoid the blow and he kicked Sonic straight in the face. Sonic, showing a bit of his own reflexes caught the foot and lifted it and M-Sonic into the air. Just before M-Sonic landed, Sonic spin kicked him away. Losing his grip on the precious emerald, M-Sonic flew away leaving the green emerald behind. Soon he was up and running to the emerald. Shadow however, sprinted to the emerald and… "Chaos control!" Shadow suddenly shouted. Shadow, in a split second appeared on the roof of a nearby house. M-Sonic looked around for Shadow wondering what happened to him. Sonic seeing his chance, leaped at M-Sonic and jumped kicked him away from Shadow. Right after he jumped onto the nearby roof Shadow was standing on. "Chaos Control!" They both choired. In a split second, they were gone leaving M-Sonic on the ground surrounded by running and recording news cameras.
At home near the shore of Station Square, Sonic studied the chaos emerald. "Its real alright!" Sonic finally shouted after about 10 minutes of studying. "Not a mistake anywhere!" "Well what do think it was?" Shadow said as he came out of the kitchen with a plate of a hot dog in his hand. "M-Sonic wouldn't be very happy if he stole a fake chaos emerald." Shadow picked up the remote and turned on the T.V. "Two Chaos Emeralds were stolen today!" The anchor on site said, "Both from the World Safe Keeper here in Station Square. Witnesses said that the perpetrator was Sonic the Hedgehog or Shadow the Hedgehog. Others say that it may look like Sonic the Hedgehog or his look-alike, but it may be something built by Dr. Ivo Robotnick. Heavily armed Military and Militia are looking for Sonic and Shadow for questioning and to see if they have taken the Chaos Emeralds.
Shadow picked up the remote once more and turned off the T.V. "Once again," Shadow sighed, and spoke. "We are under a game of tag. Where should we go?" Suddenly, the front door blew open and Knuckles, Tales and Amy showed. (Cream was on a vacation with her mother.) "I heard about it on satellite T.V." Knuckles spoke. "Why would you do that again?" Amy screamed, "Last time this happened you were nearly caught!" "Relax you guys!" Shadow shouted back, "They are not going to catch us! We need a place to hide for the time being." "We can build an underground base," Tales said. "Not enough time." Sonic said, "We are being searched for right now." The group was silent for a while.
Suddenly, the green chaos emerald began to shine very bright. Everyone knew what that meant. "There is a chaos emerald nearby!" Tales shouted, "It can be either the police or the real person who stole the second Chaos Emerald. Sonic only has one in his hand." That was when the window behind Sonic exploded and men in green suits dropped down from the helicopters hovering above. "Put your hands in the air!" The man in the middle shouted. He had so many badges on him that he'll set off a metal detector 2 miles away. Sonic put his hand in the air with the Chaos Emerald. He had only one destination that he could go to. He quickly yanked everyone close to him and… "Chaos Control!" Everyone disappeared except for the militiamen whose faces had bewildered looks and a hotdog without a bite.
