Chapter 8

The Return of an Old Enemy

Ruins of Station Square. 8:30 pm 6 days after the Ark incident
MJ and Shadow were standing in the ruins of Station Square. Buildings, telephone wires, cars, everything was in giant heaps or was on fire. The sky was pitch black like the hope of the people.
"You didn't have a choice to help Eggman, MJ. He controlled you with some mind control device." Shadow explained to MJ.
"Yes...but if I was strong enough to get out of the tube then this never would've happened." MJ answered.
"Are you two done? Because I need to destroy you." Eggman cackled over a loudspeaker somewhere. "GET THEM MY ROBOT ARMY!" He demanded just before turning off the speaker.
At that moment MJ and Shadow lost their super forms while a swarm of robots surrounded them.
"I'll take the 500 on the right you take the 500 on left." Shadow ordered.
"Okay I'll try." MJ said. They went in to attack the robots. MJ freezed her side and began pelting them with ice balls while Shadow homed attack through the robots making them explode. They continued doing this until there were none left.
"Okay we need to find Eggman." Shadow said.
"Yeah but where is he? He could be in Siberia for all we know!"
"We'll have to get everyone else to help look."
"Where are they anyway?"
"They're coming back from the Ark let's go find Eggman now!" Shadow explained just before Chaos Controlling.

Meanwhile

"Hey did you guys find Egghead yet?" Sonic asked over the communicator.
"NO SONIC! This is like the 50th time you've asked me in the past 2 minutes!" Tails yelled into the communicator.
"Well SORRY!"
"Hey guys Cream, Knuckles, and me found Eggman's base!" Amy replied into her communicator.
"WHERE IS IT AMY!" Sonic practically screamed.
"It's underground somewhere in City Circle."
"Okay we're on our way Amy!" and Sonic said as he sped off towards City Circle.
"Hehehe. Sonic fell right into my trap." Eggman chuckled as he turned around to look at his new captives. Knuckles, Cream, and Amy were tied up in the corner trying to escape.

City Circle 9:00 pm

MJ was running around the city trying to find Eggman. Tails told her earlier that Eggman's base was located underground somewhere. That was the only thing she was trying to figure out. Shadow told her something earlier that puzzled her to the very brink of her mind.

Flashback

"Yeah okay Tails I'm on my way!" MJ replied to the communicator. She learned about where Eggman's base was and was about to head over there.
"MJ I'll meet up with you later. I got to go do something..." Shadow told her.
"What do you have to do?"
"Something I just remembered I was supposed to do...50 years ago..." Shadow mumbled just before running off at sonic speed.

End Flashback

"Could this mean that...he remembers everything now?" MJ thought to herself. "AH! LET ME- huh?" MJ asked as she just got caught by the leg." Are you...?"
"The one and only." Rouge replied as she let go of MJ's leg.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at Club Rouge or something?"
"Well I WOULD have if Eggman didn't destroy Night Babylon."
"Not another city..." MJ whispered barely audible to Rouge's super sensitive ears.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Rouge asked.
"Station Square was destroyed too... Anyway why are you here?"
"I got some info from a friend of mine that Eggman's base was around here, so I came to beat him to a pulp!"
"You and everyone else I know."
"Well then what are we standing around here for let's go!" Rouge exclaimed. They set off in search of Eggman's base.

Eggman's base 9:30pm. 6 days after the Ark incident

Sonic, Tails, and Chris had landed in Eggman's base and were now searching for the doc himself. They had been wandering around for the past half hour and were now getting annoyed.
"I'M BORED!" Sonic shouted. "Where are you Eggman because we got to kick your butt RIGHT NOW!"
"Calm down Sonic! Geez you're worse than Knuckles on a good day!" Chris commented.
"Speaking of that hothead where is he anyway?" Sonic asked.
"Knuckles said he was going to look for Eggman here on his own after Amy gave us the message." Tails replied.
"Hey guys what's up!"
"Huh?" The trio said in unison as MJ and Rouge ran up to them.
"Where's Knuckle- head?" Rouge asked.
"Looking in here somewhere. Where's Shadow?" Chris asked.
Everyone stared at MJ waiting for an answer.
"What?" MJ questioned, beginning to feel very awkward.
"Don't you know where he is?" Sonic asked.
"Well...he said he had to go do something..."
"Why can't he just cooperate with us for once? He's always running off being all mysterious." Tails said.
"Well there's no use standing around talking let's go find Eggman! I need to pay him back for ruining my club!" Rouge exclaimed. They all began to run off in search of the doctor.

2 hours later

"UUUHHHH WHY DOES THIS BASE HAVE TO BE SO BIG?" Rouge screamed rubbing her aching feet. They had been running around for 2 hours just to see if they could find Eggman and their patience was running out.
"Hey...what's up with that wall?" MJ panted between breaths. She pointed to a wall with a keypad and a picture of Eggman instead of the Eggman logo.
"That's probably where Eggman is!" Chris said and he began to run towards the door. "Hey it's already unlocked."
"WAIT CHRIS DON'T!" Tails shouted. But it was too late Chris had been caught in a glass tube and was now being transported to where Eggman was.
"Follow that tube!" Sonic commanded and they chased after Chris. Chris was now thrown up in a hole that opened on the ceiling. Tails and Rouge grabbed MJ and Sonic and flew the team up through the hole still chasing Chris.
"Hey there's a light coming up!" Tails stated as they flew towards the light after Chris.
They landed in Eggman's room where Eggman was watching Knuckles, Cream, and Amy.
"Welcome Sonic, MJ, Rouge, Chris, and Tails." Eggman said turning to face them.
"Eggman surrender now or face the consequences!" Sonic demanded.
"I don't think so. You may have escaped the Ark, but you failed to stop me in time from creating the Eggman Empire. Now your friends are captured and Shadow is nowhere to be found. Not that I care." Eggman cackled. "But here's a small surprise. Most of you don't know this creature, but Sonic and Amy should very well. HAHAHAHAHA!" Eggman laughed and pushed a button. A tube rised from a hole in the floor with a creature inside.
The creature was Metal Sonic.

Thank you that was chapter 8! I just noticed I made Eggman like obsessed with tubes in this story! Weird… As always please R&R! Sorry I have updated for awhile!
