Hey guys. Thanks to everyone who reviewed. I appreciate it. Hopefully this story will get much more fast paced within the next few chapters. Anyways, heres chapter 2.
"Is that you again Sonic? Here to ruin my plans again! How did you find me!" Eggman yelled to the figures. They stepped out of the shadows revealing themselves.
"Don't worry Doctor, I'm not that pesky hedgehog, but if you want to get rid of him, I believe that we can help," The hedgehog told him.
"Oh, and just who are you two?" Eggman asked.
"Just call me Shadow, and this is Omega," Shadow said to him. Omega just looked at Eggman in awe.
"Is there something wrong with your robot friend? He keeps staring at me," Eggman said.
"Sorry," the Omega replied. Even though he was a robot, his voice was not completely robotic.
"Anyways, what do you mean you can help me get rid of him?" Eggman asked Shadow.
"Well you see, I'll start from the beginning. Your grandfather has a space station as you may know, he called it-"
"The Ark, I know, but what did you just play the video game and figure that out?" Eggman asked him.
"Not quite. We have done our research using Gerald's computers, and we know that there is indeed a weapon capable of destroying a planet,called, the Eclipse Cannon. " Shadow continued.
"Yes..." Eggman listened.
"Well heres the deal, we will help you power the cannon, and get rid of Sonic and his friends, and you let us control part of the world, when they give into you of course," Shadow explained to him.
"I see where your getting. You help me take over the world, and all I have to do, is give you each part of the world to control?" Eggman asked.
"You got it," Omega spoke.
"Of course, it will be difficult to find the Chaos Emeralds, that is what we will need to power it," Eggman told them.
"That is where Rouge comes in," Shadow told him.
"Rouge?" Eggman asked. "Who's Rouge?"
"About time you asked," A bat, dressed in a black outfit, with a pink heart in the middle fell from the ceiling.
"This, is our treasure hunter, Rouge the Bat," Shadow told him.
"So, you can find the emeralds you think?" Eggman asked her.
"If you have a radar, I'll be able to find them no problem," Rouge winked at him.
"Hmm...And I suppose you want part of the world too?" Eggman raised an eyebrow at her.
"You got it," She answered.
"Well, I suppose I could use your assistance, It's a deal," Eggman shook Shadow hand. "We should get started right away."
"Will this, be a good start?" Rouge said, handing him an emerald.
"Haha, lovely!" He tried to grab it from her, but she moved her hand quickly.
"I don't think so, I'll hold it until we get to the Ark," She told him.
"Alright, but lets go now. I'll show you to my newest base," Eggman told them, and the new team was off. But, Eggman stopped right before they were going to walk out of the lab. "How exactly are you going to stop Sonic and his little friends?" He turned to Shadow and asked.
"Hehe, lets just say that, When I'm done with him, he won't be in any condition to try and stop us," Shadow said, starting to laugh a little. They all laughed with him, and walked out of the lab.
----------------------------------------
They followed Eggman for a good hour, until they came to a desert.
"How far did we go? Are we in Egypt?" Rouge asked.
"No, were only one state away from our home state," Omega told him.
"That's right, how did you know?" Eggman asked.
"Lucky guess," Omega told him.
"Anyways, Were almost at my base," Eggman told them, he walked up to a stone pillar, no taller then he was. He pressed a hidden button on it, and slowly, a pyramid rose from the ground!
"That was just to weird..." Shadow said in amazement.
"Come, we have much planning to do," Eggman guided him into the pyramid, and into a room. There was a table with chairs all around it.
"What room is this?" Rouge asked.
"A room I set up in case if something like this happened," Eggman told them. They sat down, and went over a plan for about a half hour.
"Alright, so in a few days we will begin this little scheme of ours, correct?" Shadow asked.
"Yes, I will go up to the Ark, and get things ready, in the meantime, just make it so the government gets hold of Sonic and his friends," Eggman told them.
"Why? I thought we were going to, take care of them," Rouge asked him.
"Don't worry, once we rule the world, you will all have the pleasure of beating them senseless. But, we want them out of the way while we go trough with this," Eggman told the group.
"I suppose your right," Shadow started, then saw the time. "But, we need to get going, we will check back with you in a few days."
"Here, take these," Eggman handed them each a walkie talkie.
"For what?" Rouge asked.
"This way, we could keep in touch, just don't turn them off!" Eggman yelled to them, they got up and started walking out of the door.
"See ya, Doctor," Shadow winked at him while walking him. The three walked out of the pyramid. "What a fool," Shadow said to the other two, turning his walkie talkie off, even though he was told not to. The other two did the same.
"He is not the same man who left us last month," Omega said, sounding a bit sad, his voice was not completely robotic. Shadow pulled out his own emerald.
"I'll Chaos Control us back home, but then I gotta get going to the hospital," He told the others.
"Maria still sick?" Rouge asked, sounding concerned.
"Yeah, they said the disease is going trough her body extremely fast...She may not have, much time left," Shadow told his friends, trying to hold tears back.
"I'm so sorry Er- I mean Shadow," Omega said to him.
"Me too," Rouge put her hand on his shoulder.
"It's alright. I just have to stay positive and keep my hopes up, she will be okay," Shadow said.
"Okay...Send her our best," Rouge said.
"Alright, thanks guys," Shadow said. Hr grabbed onto them and screamed..."Chaos...Control!" There was a bright flash, and they were gone.
"Thanks for that lift, I'll catch you guys later," Rouge said, once back in their town.
"Yeah, see ya," Omega said, also running off. Shadow jumped behind a tree, took his ring off, and ran to the hospital. He was pretty good at Chaos Control, so he warped them right down the street from the hospital.
"Sorry I'm late guys," "Shadow" said to his older brother, and parents. They were sitting in his sister's room, all quiet, tears in his mom's eyes.
"Eric...we have some, bad news..." His dad told him.
"What is it?" The boy named Eric asked. He was praying it was not what he thought it was.
"Your sister...Maria...shes gone..."
Well, there you guys go. Chapter 2. I thought it was pretty good actually, I know the whole Maria thing might tick some of you off, well, if you hate Shadow anyways, but I felt as if I needed to put it in someway. Anyways, please REVIEW!
