Chapter 7
Sonic finally came to his senses. The blackness and the dreams were gone. He looked around. Shadow still hasn't come back. Where am I? He thought. His answer soon came to him when he saw a large man in a red jacket and black pants. Eggman! Now I know where I am. So this is where Eggman was hiding. What reason did M-Sonic and M-Shadow bring me here for? He was hung up by chains from the roof. So was Shadow.M-Sonic and M-Shadow soon entered the room. "All the Emerald's are collected." M-Sonic said. "Now we need to find Sonic and his friends, and trick them into giving me the other Emeralds." "I'll keep the red one here." Eggman said, "just incase they beat you in a battle. They do have the other 5 Emeralds and they can use it to destroy you." "O.K!" M-Shadow shouted. "Let's get on with it already!" M-Shadow scooped up the light blue Emerald and soon disappeared with M-Sonic.
Shadow stirred slightly. He finally came back. "Sonic!" He whispered. "Where are we?" "It looks like we're in Eggman's base." Sonic replied. "M-Sonic and M-Shadow are gone to look for Tails and the others. He looks exactly like me and M-Shadow looks exactly like you. It looks like we lost this battle. Eggman finally won." "I know you two are awake!" Eggman shouted. "How did you know?" Shadow asked. "Well, actually I was just seeing if you guys were awake." Eggman explained. "Well it looks like I won, Sonic and Shadow. The Emeralds will be mine and I will use them in any way as pleased. Maybe I'll just go up to ARK and use the cannon again. The mission file is already deleted. Or M-Sonic and M-Shadow can turn into there super-forms and rule the world with me!" "You won't get away with this!" Sonic growled. "Yes I will. M-Sonic and Shadow took your comm.-watches. They will be able to find Tails' workshop and they are going to take the last 5 Emeralds. Thanks for doing all the work by finding most of the Emeralds!" With that Eggman left into another room. It looks like he is going to take a nap. There is no hope! Shadow thought. I have failed, Sonic, my friends and Maria! "Hey Shadow!" Sonic whispered. He didn't want to wake Eggman. "Isn't that the a red Chaos Emerald right there on the bench. I know I'm not a Chaos Control master and I don't know how to do Chaos Blast, but can't you use it some how if you focus on it. You did it in the Much Music building." "Yeah." Shadow replied. "But in the office, I was just in front of it. The only thing blocking me was the wall." "Yeah, but isn't worth a try to try Chaos Control from here. There is nothing to lose." "Well. I'll try!"
Shadow focused on the shining gem about five meters away. He closed his eyes. In his mind, he pictured the Emerald and focused to see if he can get an energy reading. After five minutes of concentrating, Sonic asked "Shadow can you do it?" Shadow couldn't listen if this was to work. Finally he got an energy reading. The Chaos Emerald detected that someone was reaching for its power. If you looked at the Emerald under a microscope, you would be able to see its energy codes. Shadow opened his eyes. "Time for Chaos Control!" Shadow said. He disappeared and in about a second, he reappeared outside of the chains and on the floor. Shadow ran to the Chaos Emerald, picked it up and threw it to Sonic. Sonic caught it with one of his hands (which was up on chains still, but he can catch it if his palm was open.) and soon he was on the ground. Sonic and Shadow disappeared. They reappeared on the ground outside in the middle of the street. That was when all the police started running towards them. Apparently, they arrived in the middle of a bank robbery. So, Shadow and Sonic just ran along the wall of the bank and went right into the window. Inside, they could see the hold up. The robber was inside the vault and was putting handful after handful of cash into his bag. Sonic ran up to the robber punched him in the face and spin-kicked him into the air towards Shadow. Shadow jumped into the air and made short work of him. Soon, the man was flying out the door. Sonic and Shadow teleported to the roof.
All right here is what we're going to do. We are going to teleport to Tails' house and take the Emeralds before M-Sonic and M-Shadow get there. They took our comm.-watches. Tails is probably out for a around the world trip. He wants to see how long it will take The Storming to go around the world. It will take probably about 2 hours. We wasted enough time. We should probably look around for M-Sonic and M-Shadow.
Sonic and Shadow blazed around the city for about half and hour. That was when realized the truth. Tails said his plane was 4 times faster than the Tornado 2! Shadow thought. That means Tails should be almost home! "Sonic stop!" Shadow screamed. "Tails said that The Storming was 4 times faster than the Tornado 2! We need to get there now!" Chaos Control! Shadow thought.
Sonic and Shadow reappeared close to Tails workshop. Tails were talking to M-Sonic and M-Shadow. He went inside and gotten the other 5 Emeralds. Sonic and Shadow ran to the scene. "Don't Tails!" Sonic screamed. "Don't give him the Emeralds. That's M-Sonic and M-Shadow." Tails stood there dumbfounded. Just as Sonic and Shadow got closer and closer, the red Chaos Emerald in Shadow's hand, the light blue Chaos Emerald in M-Sonic's hand and the other Chaos Emeralds Tails had began to glow. Each produced the light of about 3 mini-suns. It grew so bright that Sonic and Shadow had to stop running when they were about 10 meters from the spot. It's happening! Tails thought.
