A/N Okay here's the next chapter of this story. Hope you enjoy.

The Phantom Shadow

While phantom was coming up with plans of his own shadow and the rest of the gang were trying to find out who phantom really was. Using shadows chaos control they sonic crew were able to get to the ARK. Once they were inside they began to look for clues. Tail's using the systems main computer was able to access the Ark's mainframe. Once this was done Tail's called shadow.

"Hey shadow I think you need to see this."

"Well what is it."

"It's a bunch of files about phantom and his ability's."

"Well let's see it."

As tail's begins to open the file a message appears on the screen that says that the file has been deleted. Tail's try's to refresh the file but is unsuccessful.

"Dang there could only be one person who could delete this file so even I wouldn't be able to find it."

"Eggman."

"Exactly so if we find him we can get those files."

"We don't need to find Eggman."

"What are you talking about rouge?"

"I saying that don't need Eggman when we have the professor's journal."

"Where did you find that?"

"It was on the table but you guys ran past it."

"Well then let's put it in."

Suddenly a loud sound is herd inside one of the rooms. As shadow rouge and tail's open the door they find a very frightened Amy.

"Amy what happened."

"I turned on the t.v and the sound was up real high. (A/N Please don't ask were the t.v came from. It's in the professor's room.)

Then as they were talking to amy a breaking news report came on the t.v.

"We have breaking news. metal sonic is attacking station square and is causing mass destruction."

""Isn't metal sonic tired of getting is butt kicked."

"Sonic were did you come from?"

"We came when we herd the loud sound. Anyway we don't have time to discuss this right now. Metal sonic is destroying the city."

"All right then let's go chaos control."

Back at station square metal sonic was destroying the city. People were running in panic and metal sonic loved it. Then in a flash of light sonic and the rest of the crew appeared. They were all shocked because metal sonic was in his upgraded form. (the one from sonic hero's.)

"What the heck. Shouldn't you be in the scrap heap?"

"You mock me now sonic but wait; you haven't seen true power yet."

As he said that his body began to glow and in a flash he became super metal sonic.

"No way, how did he do that."

"He did that when I fought him to at the sky sanctuary, but I thought he could only do that with the master emerald."

"I don't need that master emerald when I have the chaos emeralds."

"But that's impossible. Me and shadow have a chaos emerald and phantom has three emeralds and we can't find the other emeralds so how can he transform into super metal sonic."

"Fake emeralds. Eggman must have found out how to make them."

"Well it doesn't matter anyway because I'll still beat you, and with that sonic charged at metal sonic.

Meanwhile inside eggman's base phantom was watching the fight on t.v. He smiled when he saw metal sonic and sonic fight. He knew it was useless though. Without chaos emeralds sonic would never last. As sonic fought it reminded phantom of the past.

Flashback

"Ow please stop. You're hurting me."

"Shut up before I beat you until you're unconscious's.

Then the mysterious person began to kick phantom in the ribs until he was to tired to kick anymore. Phantom never cried out once. Crying would only make it worse. Then the mysterious person spit on him before he left the room.

End Flashback

Phantom frowned at the memory of being beaten. He decided to pay shadow and his friends a visit since metal sonic lost his super form. He then chaos flashed away to station square.

Sonic who was bleeding from his head and mouth and had a long cut thanks to metal sonic's claws. Sonic was ready to charge at metal sonic again when phantom appeared.

"Thank you metal sonic. Now that you have gotten there attention you can go back to the base. I'll handle things from here."

"You better remember the deal." And with that metal sonic flew off.

"What do you want phantom."

"I'm here to help you. Since you can't figure out who I am I'll tell you. As you know my name is phantom, but I'm also shadow's younger brother.

A/N So phantom is shadows younger brother. If you want to find out the rest you'll have to read and review.
