Chapter 3

"What have you done!" yelled Sonic as he held Dr. Eggman against the wall.

"I told you I have no idea what you're talking about." Eggman was inside one of his egg-ships of his egg-fleet. "I am trying to tell you I am not controlling shadow as you say I am." Eggman reached for his pistol but sonic noticed and stepped on the pistol.

"Shadow is killing innocent people and I want answers to whose controlling him. You are the only one I know that would do such a thing! If I don't stop he'll kill us all." Sonic dropped Eggman and walled to the opposite wall thinking. "If it wasn't you then who?"

"How should I know!" Eggman reached for the gun while sonic was occupied. "Ha!" Eggman got to his feet and raised the gun pointing it at sonic. Click.

"Looking for this Dr?" Sonic held up the clip for the pistol. "I'm not that stupid!" Suddenly a huge explosion went off in the distance. Eggman ran to his computer. He stared in horror.

The computer screen was flashing red. 'Enemy detected' It chanted.

"My God" whispered Dr. Eggman.

"What?" Sonic walked out the exit door. An hour ago he could see about forty of Eggman's cruser but now all he saw was fire and smoke. It seemed that the other ships were under attack. One of the ships was on fire and constant explosions littered its sides. It slowly descended until it crashed into a second with a large explosion.

Eggman ran to the railing next to Sonic to look at the damage. "What is happening?"

"Shadow… that's what…" Sure enough a black streak went from ship to ship with the same catastrophic ends as the first two sonic looked at. "He's looking for the emerald you have, not to mention the one I have that he doesn't know about."

Sonic waited there for shadow to realize where the emeralds were. Once every ship but the one sonic was one had been obliterated Shadow chaos controlled aboard the last one. Sonic stood ready as he watched shadow dodge the giant bullets, from the cannons onboard, being hurled at him. Shadow ran at incredible speeds to and fro destroying cannons one after another.

Shadow stopped dead once he saw sonic. "How'd you survive!" he called to sonic. "Oh well I always try again but trust me this time you will die!" Shadow cast chaos blast, which split half of the ship off from its counterpart. "I sense two chaos emeralds. Where did you get yours? I didn't expect two." Shadow raced at sonic who was not fast enough to dodge. He felt shadow quickly grab the emerald and punch him in the face. "Hurts doesn't it!" Shadow then with his feet jump off sonic's back causing sonic to be knocked over the railing and hurled off the ship.

"How am I going to get out of this." Shadow watched until he was sure sonic was doomed till he went after the Dr. who was about to board an escape pod. Shadow kicked the steel door off its hinges and went after Eggman. He pulled eggman out of the pod and slamed him against the wall knocking him unconscious. Shadow reached inside the Dr.'s coat pocket and withdrew the emerald.

"Thank you…" Shadow said casually as he threw eggman back into the pod and pressed the button labeled launch. "Bye Dr. I'll need you alive later…" Shadow went over to a door labeled emergency and withdrew a parachute.

He walked outside and tore off a metal plate from the wall, which he put under his feet like a snowboard. Then he jumped out of the ship. "Next stop G.U.N.'s secret base!" he said as he fell through the air.
