Reads reviews Wait… it's Mayahem Temple? Not Mayhem Temple? Thanks for pointing that out.
Sorry this is so late but, THE ACCURSED WRITER'S BLOCK STRIKES AGAIN! So sorry if this chapter isn't up to par with the rest, but I need to get back in the groove.
Chapter 7
The Golden Goliath lunged at Sonic, attempting to bring its fist down upon the hedgehog. Sonic jumped to the side, dodging the attack at the last second.
"Crush him!" Eggman shouted.
The Golden Goliath chased Sonic all around Mayahem Temple, smashing at him. It was making craters in the grass and stone. Sonic back flipped, dodging yet another blow. "Oh please! Is that the best you can do?" The giant monkey swung its arm horizontally at eh blue hedgehog, but he jumped into the air, landing on its arm. Sonic held onto the arm, and when it neared the behemoth's head, he jumped off and kicked the robotic spider. It sparked and released its hold on the Golden Goliath. The gold ape's eyes stopped glowing. It looked at Eggman in his Egg-o-matic, let out a roar, and swatted the floating device. It rocketed out of the area, leaving only the robotic spider behind. The Golden Goliath returned to its pedestal and sank into the ground. The spider scurried away, unnoticed.
"I won't forgot this!" Eggman shouted.
Sonic clapped his hands together, brushing off some debris. "That was easy!"
"It may have been," Tails said as he and Amy ran up. "but Eggman still has the Chaos Emerald."
"I guess you're right…" Sonic said, disappointedly. "Well, if there are now Emeralds left here, we should get going."
"Yeah."
The trio walked towards the exit, planning their next move, when a booming voice echoed throughout the temple.
"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!"
The group wheeled around. On top of a large hill in the temple stood a building mad of stone. Out of it came the largest totem pole the trio had ever seen. On its head was the robotic spider.
"What is that thing!" Amy shouted.
"I HAVE TAKEN THE BODY OF THE GOD, TARGETZAN! SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, I SHALL AVENGE MY HUMILIATING DEFEAT AND EXECUTE MY PROGRAMMING BY DESTROYING YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC FRIENDS!"
"Not good…" Sonic muttered as the totem pole descended on the group Each section of it was at least twice or maybe even tree times as tall as any of the animals. Four of the sections were stacked on top of each other, and on those was a large orange head with glowing red eyes.
"I think we're in trouble…" Tails began.
"Uh… I can take him…" Sonic said, as Targetzan glared down at him. It shout a barrage of darts at him, and Sonic was only able to dodge some of them. The rest grazed his body, covering it with scratches. "Urk!" The possessed totem laughed.
"CAN'T TAKE THE PAIN, HEDGEHOG?"
"Oh please!" Sonic said. "This is nothing!" He jumped at the head of the totem, but it was too far away. While he was in midair, the totem took aim at him and fired darts at him. Sonic tried to shift his position in midair, but he couldn't. Sonic crossed his arms in front of his body in a desperate defense. When they hit him, Sonic was knocked to the ground. He felt his vision blurring as Sonic began to drift into unconsciousness. "What? I c-can't be this weak…"
"Sonic!" Tails shouted. "The darts have a sedative in them!"
"What? Oh, crud…" Sonic said as he passed out.
"Sonic!" Amy shouted.
"It's all right." Tails assured her. "He's just lost consciousness. Targetzan is a much bigger problem right now."
The totem glowered down at the duo. "WITHOUT THAT HEDGEHOG TO PROTECT YOU, YOU HAVE NO CHANCE AGAINST ME!"
Tails glared up at Targetzan. "You forgot that Amy and I can still fight!"

The next thing Shadow the Hedgehog knew, he fell to the ground with a bear, bird, skull-headed guy and a dragon looking at him. He was confused and said. "Wh-where am I?"
"You're at Hailfire Peaks." The bear explained. "About two months ago, you appeared in a flash of light, and was accidentally frozen by Chilly Willy over there."
A wave of memories washed over Shadow. ARK, the core of the colony, the Biolizard, the final fight, and then Chilly Willy the ice dragon who wanted a pizza. "That's right!" He said, struggling to his feet. "You're going down dragon!" He was about to rush at Chilly Willy, but he toppled face first into the snow.
"Listen." A read bird in the bear's backpack said. "First, you were just unfrozen, so don't try anything that involves a lot of complicated muscle work and second, you'll have to forgive Pizza Dragon over there. He thinks everyone eats his pizzas."
Shadow sighed. "All right… thank you for thawing me out. I am Shadow the Hedgehog."
"Pleased to meet you." The bear said. "I am Banjo, the bird is Kazooie, and the skull-head over there is Mumbo Jumbo. Now, we were wondering if you happened to know anything about the Chaos Emeralds." Shadow started and looked at them. How did these animals know about the Emeralds?
"The Chaos Emeralds?" Shadow said. "What do you know about them?"
"Nothing much." Kazooie admitted, "Except that so many people really want them. There's Grunty, Dr. Eggman, and-"
Shadow cut her off. His face had a very dark expression on it. "Eggman…" He growled.
"You know him?" Mumbo asked.
"Know him? I used to work for him! Unbeknownst to me, I was just being used by him and the late Professor Gerald." Shadow still felt so stupid for being used by the Robotniks.
"Professor Gerald?" The animals inquired.
"He is of none of your concern." Shadow said. "He died 50 years ago. I would like to know how you know about the Chaos Emeralds. I was only frozen for two months, correct?"
"Yes, you were only frozen for two months." Banjo said. "And the Chaos Emeralds have been appearing in bright flashes of light all over the island."
"Chaos Control…" Shadow muttered.
"What was that?" Kazooie asked.
"Nothing." Shadow said. "In return for thawing me, I will help you in your quest for the Chaos Emeralds. Besides, I have a score to settle with Eggman."
"Okay then." Banjo said, extending an arm, which he used to help Shadow up and shake his hand at the same time. "Welcome to the team."
