Chapter 1: Rescuing the Emperor

"Ready…aim…FIRE!" Shadow yelled. The cannon in front of him blew up. "Good job, Shadow, now let's get to the General's ship and get this over with!" Sonic said. Sonic and Shadow were in separate jets, but heading for the same location. Shadow noticed something, "Look master, the door is closing!" Shadow said. Sonic noticed it, too, "Increase speed!" They went as fast as their jets could take them, and barely made it in.

They both jumped out of their ships. "Woo-hoo! Let's do it again!" Shadow yelled as he threw his fists up. Sonic sighed, "Don't get too cocky." Sonic motioned for his android to follow them. "R4, can you open this elevator?" R4 made a few noises that sounded like people in a cafeteria on bean day, and went to the elevator door. It hooked up to the elevator's mainframe, and opened the door.

"Good work, R4. Stay here in case we need help." Sonic commanded as he and Shadow went into the elevator. R4 made a few more squeaks and pops, and the door closed. "Doesn't listening to R4 make you want to laugh?" Shadow asked. Sonic chuckled, "You're worse after eating a burrito!" "Very funny…" Shadow replied. Suddenly, the elevator stopped.

"What's going on? R4? R4! Fix the elevator!" Sonic ordered. Little did he know that R4 had to stop controlling the elevator because there were to droids inspecting the ship landing dock. Shadow used his light saber to make a hole through the roof, and started to climb out. "Shadow! Get down!" Sonic called. Shadow reached out his hand, and Sonic grabbed it. Soon, they were both out of the elevator.

After getting to a hallway, they looked around. They found a directory to see where they were. "We are here!" Shadow said, pointing to an X that said "You Are Here" on the directory. "Well…we need to be here!" Sonic said pointing to a spot labeled "Jail Cell #4234623846248734673". They ran off into their desired direction. Reaching it, they found the Emperor.

"Yay! I found him…I mean, we found him!" Shadow said. The Emperor said hello, but it wasn't heard, because at that time a voice from behind was talking, "Well, look who it is!" It was Count Dooky-Face! "You better watch it, Count…I'm stronger than last time." Shadow said, taking out his light saber. Sonic also took out his light saber, and the two ran up to the Count.

It quickly turned into a one-sided fight, until the Count used the Force to knock Sonic back and drop a piano that came out of nowhere on him. "That's it, Dooky-Face! You're going down!" Shadow yelled, and went twice as fast as before. Shadow knocked away the Count's light saber, and grabbed it. "What are you waiting for?" asked the Emperor, "Kill him!" Shadow argued with the Emperor for a minute, but did what he was told. He grabbed Sonic, and they ran out of the jail. "I shouldn't have killed him." Shadow said.

Running through the hallway, a beam came out of nowhere, and trapped the Jedi's and escapee. "What do we do?" asked Sonic who now came to. "Relax, master. R4 will be here any minute!" R4 did come, but came so fast, that he ran into a wall. Unfortunately, it killed him, so they were still stuck. Some Storm Troopers came and took the three guys to General Nauseous' main room.

"Where are my Tums?" demanded Nauseous (he lived up to his name), "Oh good! You have the Jedi's." "Not for long!" Sonic shouted, and he and Shadow took out their light sabers. They killed everyone in the room except Nauseous, the Emperor, and themselves. The General ran away, so the Jedi's and Emperor went to the jets. "That was odd." said Shadow. "Too odd!" Sonic said. They headed back to Naboo, not knowing how odd the situation really was.
