A/N Thanks for the reviews I really appreciate it. To Looneyman: There may be a big fight between shadow and phantom. You'll just have to wait and find out. To Pink Emerald816: I'll try to fix those capitalization errors. Also Phantom looks like shadow but his quills are red and he has flame marking on his feet and arm, (like Blaziken from pokemon).He wear's baggy black pants and a short sleeved black shirt. Other than that let's get on with the fic.

The Phantom Shadow

When Phantom left the gang had gone back to sonic's house to discuss what they should do. As they were thinking when sonic suddenly yelled out in frustration.

"I don't get it why did that hedgehog just get all angry when I called him a shadow clone."

"What I want to know is why he reacted the way he did when we called him shadow."

"I think it's just another plot by Eggman to destroy the world."

"But why would phantom attack us like that."

"I guess well have to find out when we see him next time."

Meanwhile Phantom has just returned to Eggman's secret base.

"Excellent job Phantom, now the next phase of my plan can begin but first I need metal sonic." As Eggman walks towards the repair chamber he finds metal sonic finishing up his repairs.

"So metal sonic are you ready to serve me again."

"Yes master, I am sorry that I have disobeyed you're orders but I felt a need to defeat sonic and prove that I am superior to him."

"Very well, anyway here is a chaos emerald to enhance you're powers." Hands him the chaos emerald.

"Now tell me were can I find shadow."

" Currently his whereabouts are unknown but I know someone who can find them."

Tails who was currently in the lab on his computer was looking for files on the ARK to find a connection between shadow and phantom. Once he accessed the ARK's files the began looking through until he found an interesting file.

"Hey you guys look at this "

"What is it."

This is a file on projects that were on the ARK."

"So what's so important about that."

"I f I remember correctly there were only two projects on the ARK and that was shadow and the biolizard."

"Yeah so what."

"Well in this file it says that there are three projects."

"What does it say about that project."

"Project chaos this project was canceled due to it's immense power and unstable condition."

"But how can that be I've never heard about any other projects."

"Shadow do you think that the professor kept this project hidden from you."

"No, the professor has never kept any secrets from me."

"Well that doesn't matter. We need to find out more about this project chaos. Who's up for a trip to the ARK."

Back at station square phantom walks through the city until he sees a building that says Chaotix Detection Agency. He stops outside the door and says chaos illusion and in a flash of light his body changed. Once a black hedgehog his body was all grey and is eyes were black. He then walked inside were he was greeted by charmy. Inside the choatix agency vector and espio were busy filling out paper work for a case that had just been solved. The room was quiet until Charmy flew into the room.

"Vector, Espio we have a new client."

"Well show him in "

"Okay" disappears for a while the reappears with a grey hedgehog.

"Hello were the Chaotix Detection Agency. Anything you can't find we will."

"That's good because I need you to help me look for this hedgehog." Pulls out a picture of shadow'

"Whoa you need us to look for shadow."

"Is that a problem."

"Well no but he will be hard to find and it may take a while.

"That's okay I'm a patient hedgehog."

"Well that's good but it will cost. A lot of money."

"Will this be enough" pulls out a bag with 500 rings. Vector stares greedily at it.

"Yes that will be more than enough."

"If you find him there will be 500 more rings for you."

"Okay well get right on it". He walks out and changes back.

"Those fools will lead me fight to shadow." He laughs as he chaos flashes to Eggman's base.

Meanwhile inside the Chaotix building vector, espio, and charmy were getting ready to look for shadow.

"Are you guy's ready I wanna go."

"All right charmy we heard the first four times.."

Vector gets ready to go but notices espios hesitation.

"What's the matter espio."

"It's just that I have a bad feeling about that hedgehog. Why does he want to look for shadow anyway."

"He's probably some crazy fanboy looking for an autograph."

"Still I don't trust him."

"That doesn't matter because if we don't find shadow we wont get those rings now let's go." and with that vector ran of to find shadow along with charmy. Espio hesitates before leaving saying roger.

A/N Well that's it for this chapter. If you want to read the next chapter you'll just have to read and review.
