Alright, since the last chapter, I haven't really been playing Shadow The Hedgehog, but I still have time to do this. Even though I have Finals next week, I will continue to work on this (since most of my classes won't really have a long Final). Anyways, here is Chapter 6...

Chapter 6: The Attack Of The Devils

"A week ago, the Black Arms attacked our homes in a surprise attack", Sonic started, "we didn't expected it at all".

"Do you know why they attacked?", Shadow asked.

Rouge stepped forward, "We didn't know at first, but we found out they were looking for the Chaos Emeralds".

"Why?", Elle asked.

"We don't know…", answered Sonic.

"Typical…", Shadow said as he crossed his arms, "Anyways, how did they overpower you so easily? I'm sure most of the Black Arms were destroyed when the Black Comet was destroyed".

"That's what we thought", Dr. Eggman said without turning around, "It seems the Black Arms found a excellent place to hide…the Glyphic Canyon".

"What does that have to do with anything?", Elle asked.

"I sent some of my robots to the canyon to find out, what they found was that the Black Arms had already built some type of breeding ground", Eggman said finally turning around.

"How much attacked your homes?", Shadow asked.

Everyone looked down, but Sonic looked at Shadow and finally said, "Almost one thousand Black Arms attacked Green Hill alone. The other areas the Black Arms attacked had smaller numbers, but they did a lot of damage anyways".

Before Shadow could speak, Rouge immediately said, "The Black Arms had become more advanced than the first invasion. The Black Oaks were the most dangerous…".

"You were injured in the first day, right Sonic?", Shadow asked.

"Yeah…I fought for almost the entire day really…", Sonic answered, "they just kept on coming-"

"What about the Master Emerald", Elle asked unexpectedly.

Everyone started at her, possibly asking themselves the same questions, "How does she know about the Emerald?".

"What?", Elle asked looking confused

"How do you know about the Master Emerald?", Knuckles asked.

"She may have heard about it from a Black Arm", Shadow said, "Go on, I want to know about the Chaos Emeralds".

"When Eggman joined us in the defense of our homes", Sonic answered, "Rouge, Knuckles, and the Chaotix went to look for the Emeralds, while Eggman's robots fought the aliens or so I'm told by everyone else".

"Why were Amy and Tails at Central City?", Shadow asked.

"We went there to get the President to approve helping us", Amy said, "but they seriously didn't want to help us".

"So they did know about the attack", Shadow said.

"They did, but the government didn't want the citizens to panic", Tails answered

"How long did it take to find the Chaos Emeralds?", Shadow asked

"It took almost the whole week", Rouge answered, "but when we finally found them, we waited to give them to Sonic since he was injured"

"You went to Central City after that didn't you, Rouge?", Shadow asked with frown.

Rouge smiled and nodded, "You got that right".

What happened to the President and his aids during the attack?", Elle asked Rouge.

"The President carried you until he finally passed you to me and Amy", Rouge said, "But the Black Arms easily surrounded us, so we put you down and fought back".

Shadow kept his eyes on Sonic the whole time, he didn't trust him and Sonic noticed it. Everyone fell silent, waiting to see what the two hedgehogs will do. Knuckles finally stepped forward and said, "How about Elle finally tells us her story?".

Sonic turned to Elle, "You ready?".

Elle nodded, "Yes".

Everyone looked at Elle as she took a deep breath.

"I don't remember much really, but I know the Black Arms have been chasing me since the first invasion", Elle said

"What about your parents?", Cream asked.

Elle started to cry, "I…lost them…during the attack on Westoplis, I didn't know what to do then. The G.U.N soldiers helped me, but I ran from them when they didn't bother to try to find my parents".

"The bastards…", Shadow said while looking down

"Shadow, please restrain yourself from using such words", Vanilla complained.

"…Alright…",

"Will you please continue, Elle", Sonic said as he tried to contain his laughter.

"The fighting between the Black Arms and G.U.N was such a scary time", Elle said, "the whole time some Black Arms started chasing me, even before the first invasion"

"Even before the first invasion?", Vector repeated

"Yeah…", Elle answered.

"You also told me you have been having strange dreams, right?", Tails said, "When did you start having them?".

Elle smiled, "Yeah, I did tell you that. They started when the first invasion started".

Eggman turned around briefly, but turned back to his robots. Everyone stared at each other with a look asking, "What is up with this girl". Shadow walked to Elle and put his hand on her head, she smiled and wiped her eyes dry. Shadow looked at Eggman and Sonic and asked, "Where are we now?".

Eggman turned around, looking proud, and answered, "We are in my newest base in the Mystic Ruins, it-"

"Has been done before", Sonic said with a mocking tune as everyone else laughed except Shadow and Elle

"Why you-", Eggman began to say before the alarm went off. The lights went off turning the room red awhile the alarm repeated the same words over and over again. Shadow held on to Elle as Eggman checked what was the threat.

"No way! I can't believe this!", Eggman yelled

"What is it?", almost everyone asked in the same time

"A large force of Black Arm soldiers are heading this way, Eggman said as he slammed his fist on his desk, "All Eggman robots, defend the base!"

All the robots saluted and began to run toward the doors to pick up their weapons.

"We need to fight them before we can begin our plan", Eggman said turning to everyone else

"Shouldn't be too hard", Knuckles said sarcastically

Shadow turned to Vanilla, "Can you take of Elle?"

She nodded, "Yes…"

"Going to help?", Sonic said smiling as he knows he just asked such a dumb question to Shadow who eyed him angrily

"Enough talking…let's get this over with", Shadow said as he ran forward

Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, and the Chaotix rushed forward as well to help defend the base (ironic isn't it?)

Elle turned to Vanilla and Cream, "I hope they will be okay"

"They will", Vanilla said, "Cream, will you take Elle and get into one of the back rooms?"

"Right", Cream said as she bowed her head

Vanilla watched the two girls leave the room and turned to watch Eggman leave to take command of his robots. Vanilla smiled, "Things are going according to plan", as she turned to follow Cream and Elle as her eyes changed for a split second to yellow…

Shadow looked out to the jungle. Sonic walked up to him with a serious look on his face. They both nodded and looked out, they knew it was going to be tough to out fight the more advanced Black Arms. Sonic pulled out the green Chaos Emerald and gave it to Shadow, "You ready?"

Shadow tossed the Emerald into the air and caught it as it came down, "I'll show them the true power of Chaos Control…"

The Egg Pawns took their positions and prepared for the worst. Soon the Black Oaks could be seen rushing the robot's positions. Everyone knew what was at stake: A girl, a powerful Emerald, and their own lives. It has begun…

Well that's it. The next chapter will be action pack with a battle, I just hope I will do well with that chapter. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this and I hope I answered some questions at least. As always, HAVE A NICE DAY!
