Chapter 6
Shadow walked back through the window he destroyed. He then walked over to knuckles limp body, which was sprawled, on the floor. "He'll be of some use later." Shadow continued to walk down the hall. "I sense a great energy but I have no idea where it is…" Shadow turned abruptly and faced a door. "Aha here!" Shadow kicked the door open. Inside was a large room surrounded by what appeared to be a green energy field.
The nearest computer spoke to him "voice activation required." Shadow laughed at the computer and then with his fist hit the computer. His force caused a large dent in the computer's panels. It also caused the computer to lower the energy shield that guarded the rest of the long room.
"Hehehe looks like I hit the mother load!" In the long room were seven rows of containers that stretched as far as the eye could see. "Looks like they got a hold of Shadow clones-" Shadow heard someone behind him.
"Shadow you…!" Knuckles stood at the door. His left leg was covered in blood and he was clutching a bullet in one hand. Knuckles charged at him punching him in the face. Shadow fell back his nose had been broken. Knuckles collapsed from the pain of his leg. Shadow got up and walked over to knuckles, clutching his bleeding nose. Shadow placed his foot on Knuckles' leg.
This caused Knuckles to cry out in agony. Shadow pressed even harder on the leg causing it to gush even more blood. "Hurts don't it." Shadow was laughing with enjoyment. Shadow picked his foot up and walked away slowly.
"Don't worry Knuckles I won't kill you." Shadow hit a large red button labeled Release on a large computer next to where he stood. "They will!" Thousands of clones poured out of their cells. "Attack!" Shouted Shadow as the rest of his clones charged at Knuckles.
Meanwhile
The Tornado was on its way to Central city. "I CAN'T BELIEVE WE LEFT KNUCKLES!" screamed sonic who was furious. Tails looked back at Sonic.
"I'm sure Knuckles can hold his own with Shadow out of Emeralds." Rouge said reassuringly.
"Yeah sonic, we have six of the five of the seven emeralds and he has none. Knuckles can easily take care of it. We told him to meet as at central city when he finds the right time to escape." Tails said.
"Wait you say it like he agreed to it!" Sonic had not gotten any happier.
"He did I told him, before we left, to hold shadow off until the three of us had left so that the emeralds would be safe." Tails said to Sonic.
"I want to help so badly! I want to teach shadow a painful lesson." Sonic looked at his bandaged leg. "I wish the emeralds could heal this…" sonic looked out the window.
"You know that's imposable, they can only heal flesh wounds and small fractures no major broken bones." Tails said. "Wait there might be a way!" Tails turned the plane completely around.
"What?" said Rouge who was now very interested.
Tails smiled. "The master emerald!"
