Sonic Battle Adventures
Episode 8: Battle Aboard the ARK!
"TAKE THIS!" Shadow yelled as he fired a blast of yellow chaos energy at Omega and Rouge. Rouge flew out of the way, and Omega took the attack head on! The attack didn't deliver any damage to the metal agent, shocking Shadow.
"Ha, ha, ha…" He laughed. "My newer upgrades can take even the strongest of attacks!" He yelled. "In fact, my power competes with your Super Shadow form!" Shadow gasped, and Omega fired at Shadow! Shadow ran out of the way, thinking of a way to get a hit on Omega. Shadow jumped into the air, jumped off a tree, and kicked Omega in the head. Omega didn't feel a thing, and grabbed Shadow's leg!
"You're mine!" the black and red hedgehog cried. He raised his Emerald, and yelled, "CHAOS CONTROL!" The warp of energy sent Omega's new armor shattering away, weakening Omega to about the strength when he faced Sonic and Tails. Omega fell back, lying on the ground. Shadow smirked.
"I've developed an ability to use a Chaos Emerald to my will," Shadow explained, way up in the air. "I can also now use Chaos Control as a short range explosion of energy, while I teleport away!" Suddenly, a whip came from above, and knocked the Silver Emerald out of Shadow's hand!
"So if I remove your Chaos Emerald, you'll be about as strong as Sonic?" Rouge asked, nearing the falling hedgehog. Shadow scowled, but nodded. He didn't like being called equal to Sonic, though it was true. The Silver Emerald landed far away, and Shadow kicked Rouge in the gut! He flipped in the air, landed safely in the air, and saw two missiles heading for him! Shadow gathered some energy in his fingertips, and fired his Chaos Spear at the missiles. He ran at Omega, careful to dodge the bullets that were being fired at him.
"If you're as strong as Sonic, I'll be able to defeat you!" Omega yelled. Shadow smirked.
"You really didn't know?" Shadow asked.
"Know what?" Shadow neared Omega, and slammed his foot into the robot's face. Omega stepped back, and his hand went directly in front of Shadow's face.
"You didn't know that Sonic was holding back on you?" He asked in disbelief. "And I thought you were a machine!" Omega became furious.
"What reason would he have to hold back?" He asked angrily.
"Simple; he's Sonic," Rouge replied behind Shadow. She tried to kick him, but Shadow ducked and her foot struck Omega's arm, sweeping it to the side. Shadow jumped into the air, kicked Rouge in the face, while using his other air shoe to fire his jets at Omega. The bat and robot were knocked back, and Shadow just smiled.
"Pathetic!" He said. He heard a clapping sound from behind, and saw Big applauding his performance.
"HOORAY!" Big yelled. "That was awesome!" Omega sat up, and aimed his hand at Big.
"Don't interfere!" He yelled, firing a single bullet at Big. He shot went to his shoulder, shooting a certain frog. Froggy rolled to the ground, bleeding.
"FROGGY!" Big yelled as he picked up his friend. "NOOO!" He gently placed Froggy down, and stared angrily at Omega. He ran at him with surprising speed, enraged by the robot's actions. Omega fired a bullet at his stomach, but it just bounced off!
"How can this be?" Omega asked, firing the rest of his bullets into Big. The bullets had the same result of the last, and Big slammed into Omega! Big grabbed his arm, swung him around, and slammed his head on the ground. Big slammed his fist into Omega's face, and repeated it several times. Shadow looked at the dying frog, and just stared at it with pity. I can't just let an innocent creature die… He thought. After all, I failed with Maria…
Shadow walked over to the creature, and grabbed the Purple Chaos Emerald. He transferred his Chaos Energy into the Emerald, and pointed the Emerald at Froggy. The Emerald sent a shot of energy into Froggy's wound, and the wound healed completely. Shadow became a little dizzy, and Rouge watched with amazement.
"Who is Shadow anyway…" She muttered to herself. "At first he seems like a cold, heartless villain, and then he goes to save the world by almost killing himself. Then he threatens to take lives, and saves one!" Shadow turned towards Big and the pummeled Omega, and tapped the purple cat on the shoulder. Big turned around, and pointed to the frog hopping happily towards him.
"FROGGY!" He yelled, hugging his best friend. The two had a cuddling moment, and then Big set the living frog down. He pointed towards Omega, and said, "You still did a bad thing!" Omega sat up, punched Big in the face, and watched the purple cat roll back. Shadow decided to use the distraction to escape, and held up his new Chaos Emerald. He'd have to come back for his other one later.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" He yelled as he prepared to warp back to ARK. Suddenly, Rouge's whip grabbed his wrist, getting the attention of the two fighting behemoths. Omega rammed Shadow, and Big grabbed Omega's arm. At that instant, the four were transported!
"OW!" Amy yelled as the silver object landed on her head. She pulled out her hammer, ready to defend her Sonic.
"What is it?" Sonic asked, lying back on a tree. Amy looked around for a bit, and gasped.
"I-I-I-it's a Chaos Emerald!" She cried. Sonic yelped.
"What?" He asked in disbelief. Amy picked it up, and showed it to Sonic. "That's Shadow's Emerald!" Amy was the one to be shocked.
"Shadow's?" She gasped. "He isn't the type to just forget about a Chaos Emerald! Something must have happened to him!" Sonic struggled to stand up, but he brushed himself off.
"Without Chaos Control, he can't be too far away!" He cried, excited. "I've been waiting for this!" He slammed his fist into his palm, and started to walk away. After about ten steps, he collapsed, no longer able to walk.
"You still haven't recovered!" Amy said. "After you're better, you can chase after Shadow!"
"But I-"
But nothing," She replied angrily. "Even if you did find him, do you think Shadow's gonna waste his time fighting a hedgehog that can barely walk?" Sonic gave in, knowing that he had come so close to getting a rematch.
"I'm gonna get soon enough…" He muttered to himself, happy that he was at least on the right track.
"So, you just had to come up here, didn't you!" Shadow yelled angrily. "You've no right to be here!"
"We're government agents!" Rouge replied. "We do whatever we want!" Big just looked around.
"Where are we?" He asked. "AND WHERE'S FROGGY?" Shadow sighed.
"You have gotten me very mad!" He warned the three of them. "I think I'll vent physically!" He ran at Omega, slammed his fist into his metal chest, kicked him, and jumped off him towards Rouge. Rouge lashed her whip at Shadow, but the black and red hedgehog grabbed the end, tugged the whip towards him, knocking Rouge off balance. Shadow was about to strike her, but she put her foot forward, knocking Shadow in the face!"
Everybody tries to be straight, but things are still unchanged.
"Don't think just because you're the ultimate life form you'll win!" She yelled. "I'm the world's greatest thief, and Omega's Eggman's strongest robot, with upgrades from the government!" Shadow smirked.
It's useless to resist; their efforts will be wasted.
"You won't catch me off guard again!" He yelled as he fired a Chaos Spear at her. Rouge was struck by the attack, sending her into the glass wall. She slid down the wall, and slumped to the ground. "Pathetic bat, she did- OOF!" Omega struck Shadow in the back of the head, knocking him to the ground. Shadow rolled on the ground, flipped up, and fired a Chaos Spear at him. Omega fired a missile at the attack, and the two canceled each other out. Shadow dashed toward Omega, while he fired several bullets at Shadow. Shadow dodged them all, but his speed was cut in half due to the dodges. Omega took this chance to smash him in the face, slamming him against the wall. Shadow jumped from the wall, and delivered a kick to Omega's chest. Omega stepped back, and threw his fist downward at Shadow. Shadow jumped back, only to be kicked in the back by Rouge. Shadow fell to the ground, while Rouge placed a pair of handcuffs on him.
Head straight for your goal by any means, for there's a door you've never opened.
"As much as we're friends, I still have to do my job!" She said. She picked up the Purple Emerald that Shadow dropped due to her last kick, and stared at the jewel. Shadow stood up, and let out a "humph".
There is a window you have never seen, get there, no matter how long it takes.
"Like I said before; you wouldn't catch me off guard again!" He yelled, destroying the cuffs with his Chaos Spear. Shadow punched her in the face, but Rouge remained in the air, waiting for Shadow's next attack. Instead, the attack came from Omega! His punch in the back knocked her on the ground, and she dropped the Chaos Emerald. Omega picked it up, and Rouge just stared at Omega.
Oh dark, the darkness that dozes the dusk, throw it all away"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING?" She asked angrily. Omega let out a laugh.
No one can break you, nobody can tear you, you live an endless life forever.
"Simple, I am serving Master Robotnik!" Omega cried. "The wonderful doctor has reprogrammed me, and created me to serve him fully!" He aimed his gun at Rouge. "You have been a very bad partner, and for that you must be punished!" He was about to fire, but Big jumped in the way, and hit Omega to the ground!
Oh dark, the darkness that dozes the dusk, throw it all away"You're a bad guy!" Big yelled unnecessarily. Omega threw Big off, and Big just stood up, and faced Omega angrily.
You see a light, wherever you go, you have to face it again and again…"AND YOU HAVE ANNOYED ME FOR THE LAST TIME!" Omega yelled. "FIRE FULL ARSENAL!"
"CHAOS SPEAR!" Shadow yelled, shooting the missiles before they even left his body. The explosion blasted Omega so hard; he slammed into the wall, and remained inactive! Shadow panted from the exhausting battle. His carrying three passengers a long distance with Chaos Control and all of his Chaos Spears and his healing that frog didn't help much either. Shadow went down to his knees, and panted harder. The sweat was pouring down his face. Shadow felt like he would collapse, but he's faced harder before.
"That was amazing!" Rouge yelled. "I didn't know you were so strong!" She walked up to Shadow, and attempted to pull the hedgehog up, but the ultimate life form refused any help from her, and slapped her hand away. Shadow stood up, and walked over to Omega. He tried to pick the Chaos Emerald from his limp hand, but the hand tightened, and threw Shadow across the room! Omega jumped into the air, and smashed his fist into Shadow's gut!
"I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!" He roared, kicking Shadow across the room. Rouge jumped into the air, and did a forward flip kick on top of Omega's head. Omega wasn't phased by the attack, and smashed the back of his hand into her, knocking her against a wall. Now it was Big's turn. Big punched Omega in the chest, but Omega quickly retaliated by bringing his large metal knuckles into the rotund cat's belly. The punch knocked he wind out of Big, and Omega knocked him out by kicking him in the face. Shadow, Rouge and Big struggled to stand, but when the three managed to rise to their feet, a rumbling sensation was sent through the ARK!
"What was that?" Rouge asked. Omega chuckled.
"That would be Eggman's robots boarding," He said. "When I arrived on ARK, I sent out a distress signal. I will be leaving now, I'd like to let you live with your defeat. And go tell the president about this; Omega's now with Master Robotnik and has stolen a Chaos Emerald! HAHAHA! By the way, I'm no longer 123-Omega. I'm not E-1023 Omega!" The walked off, leaving with the Chaos Emerald.
When Shadow, Rouge, and Big watched the huge ship leave the ARK, they just stood there in defeat.
"Shadow, you wouldn't happen to have any communication systems in this colony, would you?" Shadow pointed to a computer consol, and Rouge practically scrambled to it.
"It won't have much power, so make sure your message is important yet short." He warned. Rouge nodded.
"This is Agent Rouge reporting from ARK!" She called into it. "The ultimate life form is currently in my custody, but I have no way of returning to Earth. I am located on the space colony ARK. Repeat; I am located on the space colony ARK. She message cut off, and she sighed.
"How long do you think they'll get here?" Big asked. Rouge shrugged.
"They'll probably get here soon, since I did report that I placed THE ultimate life form under arrest!"
"You have?" Shadow asked. Rouge winked.
"Well, you can't escape right now, can you?" Shadow shook his head. Rouge then snapped her fingers.
"Do you think you can still use your chaos energy to energize this, I still have a couple of calls I need to make!"
"Why's that?"
"There's only one way Omega could have been reprogrammed, and that's by someone within the government!" She explained. "I need to call for some… help."
"Really? Who?" Rouge sighed.
"You're gonna have to make one call, because they'll probably hang up on me if they heard my voice…" Shadow shrugged. He gathered a little energy for his Chaos Spear, and sent it into the computer. The computer became energized, and Rouge picked up the communicator. She dialed a number, and got the call transferred.
"Hello, this is Agent Rouge calling so because there is an internal investigation going on!" Said. She nodded a couple of times, and she was listening to whoever was on the other line. She explained what happened on ARK, and told them to investigate on who reprogrammed Omega. She then asked for a number, and five minutes later she nodded and turned off the communicator.
"So who are you calling anyway?" Shadow asked.
"I need to call some investigators that are outside of the government, so they won't know an investigation's going on!" She explained. "I just called some agents I can trust, but the other guys don't trust me, so I need you to hire them for me!" She held the Communicator to Shadow, and Shadow took it. He put it on a loudspeaker mode, and Rouge dialed the Number.
"Hello, this is the Chaotix detective agency, how may I help you?" Vector responded after three rings.
"Hello, I'd like to hire you for a job," The voice on the other line said. Vector's eyes lit up.
"And how much would are you offering?" He asked.
"I work for the government, how much do you want?" the voice asked.
"We should discuss that after the job has been completed."
"Very well, go to the Station Square train station, and you will find a duck, a bear, and a squirrel. Those three will debrief you on your mission. I don't have much time left. Goodbye."
Vector stood up, and looked at Mighty and Charmy.
"Come on boys, we're going on a mission!" He said.
"No you're not," Espio said walking through the door. "You still have the job of protecting the Master Emerald, but you can leave this mission to us. Just tell us what we have to do!"
About three hours later, Rouge and Shadow were facing the president.
"Why have you brought this criminal to my office?" He asked angrily. Rouge smirked.
"I told him about my mission, and he says he'll make a deal with you!" Rouge replied. The president looked curious.
"What kind of deal?" He asked.
"You want Sonic dead, don't you?" The president nodded. "Well then, let me go free, and I'll kill him for you!"
"No deal!" He said. Shadow shrugged.
"Whatever…" He muttered. "Rouge is your best agent, and she knows she can't take Sonic! And since you've lost Omega, Sonic could get away from everything you throw at him! Besides, he has a Chaos Emerald I want, and I could probably escape your pathetic prison if I wanted to!" The president sighed, knowing that this was the only way.
"Fine, you now are considered honorary agent Shadow and Rouge's temporary partner," He said. "But after this is over, and you commit one crime, I will deny this deal and send all charges back down on you, with the murder of Sonic the Hedgehog on you as well! I believe that will get you capital punishment!" Shadow shrugged again.
"Like you could possibly catch me!" With that all said, Shadow and Rouge walked out the door, giving our blue hero one more dangerous threat…
