Shadow and Knuckles were on the train to Station Square. Knux was looking out the window admiring the scenery.

"Where is Nightmare City?" He asked Shadow.

"Somewhere near Central City. The only way to get to it is from some secret entrance that is located in Central City." Shad answered.

"So we get to Station Square, from there we go to Central City, and then ask around about the secret entrance to Nightmare City?" Knux asked.

"Correct." Shadow stated.

"We will soon be stopping at Station. Get ready to depart." The voice said with a beep as it signed off.

"Well look's like it's time to get off the train." Knux said as he hopped up out of his seat and exited the train. Shad followed.

They walked around looking for a way to Central City when the transport that they had before it disappeared landed. Out came Sonic.

"It's the brainwashed Sonic!" Knuckles screamed.

"How did you survive!" Shadow asked in anger.

"I faked passing out so you would leave. Then I got up and ran quickly to the transport and flew away before you got there. Now I'm heading to Central City to take it over! Danger awaits you both there!" Sonic told them as he jumped back into the transport and started take off.

"No!" Knux screamed. Right before the transport got out of reach Knuckles jumped up and grabbed on to it. Shadow didn't jump and the transport flew away with Knux clinging on to it for dear life.

"Damn that Knuckles. I can't find what I'm looking for alone! I have to find transport to Central City ASAP." Shadow muttered. He then ran to find a way to get to Central City without running the whole way.

Meanwhile, Knuckles was still hanging on to the transport. Sonic noticed this and started swerving and looping in mid air to try to shake Knux off.

"Damnit! Get off!" Sonic screamed angrily as he barrel rolled the transport.

"Woah!" Knux screamed. He was having the time for his life. "This is so awesome! But it'll suck if I let go!"

Shadow finally found that Gun was about to launch a military jet into the skies on a reconnaissance mission to find something. Before the pilot boarded Shadow hopped in and said "Thanks for the jet!" Then he took off.

"What…. Just happened here?" The pilot said as he watched his jet fly away.

A few minutes later Sonic landed in Central City. It was now nigh time. He exited the transport and Knuckles was standing right in front of him. Sonic looked at the scenery. He landed on the ground in the middle of a circle formed by skyscrapers. Light were everywhere and he noticed a neon sign that had the words Get yourself a burger at Mr. Pizza's Burger Shack lit up in blue.

"So are we going to fight yet or what?" Knux asked at the Sonic who wasn't paying attention.

"Oh yes. Sorry about that. Let's begin shall we?" Sonic screamed as he ran at Knuckles and uppercut him into a nearby pole.

"Dang. That freaking hurt." Knux said as he shrugged off the pain and ran at Sonic.

He started punching and kicking at Sonic but Sonic easily dodged all of his attacks. He dodged an extremely fast jab from Knux and countered with a quick and simple spin dash to Knuckles' stomach and knocked him back but he didn't fall.

"Ow." Knux said as he looked like he was about to puke. "That hurt worse than the pole. I really need Shadow to get here fast."

"That's what you get for following me!" Sonic screamed as he homing attacked Knux into a car.

It dented the hood and Knuckles fell off. The owner of the car rushed out and yelled "Hey! My car!" But he immediately ran away when he saw the brainwashed Sonic.

"Well, Sonic, it seems I'm going to half to fight you with my full power!" Knux said.

Knuckles ran at Sonic and kicked him in the shin.

"Ouch!" Sonic said as he grabbed his shin. "I'm going to freaking kill y-." Before he could finish Knux replied with a kick to the jaw which made Sonic fly back.

He got back up quickly and ran at Knuckles and poked him in the eyes. He then uppercut him in the jaw once more which sent him flying.

"Cheap shot!" Knux screamed.

"Well at least I didn't kick you in the shin!" Sonic yelled at Knuckles.

"Let's just continue the fighting."

Knuckles and Sonic charged again and fought each other and connected with each blow. But they kept on attacking. Knuckles made a fairly powerful blow to the eye and Sonic grunted in pain. He stopped attacking and Knuckles hit him with a flurry. It knocked him back. He stood up and charged at Knuckles. They started exchanging blows again until they both jumped back. They fell to the ground in exhaustion.

"I'll… destroy you…. Knuckles." Sonic said in between pants.

"Not if I destroy… you… first." Knux replied also in the middle of pants.

They both struggled to get and but Sonic fell. Right when Knuckles was about to get up he fell back down. They both kept struggling for the next few minutes. They finally got up.

"Now let's fight again." Knuckles said.

They both walked up to each other and fought fiercely again. They dodged each other's blows and countered. But they kept blocking and dodging all blows until Knux connected with one which led to many others.

"Damn you, echidna. Damn you to hell!" Sonic screamed as he charged at Knuckles again.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the skies above Earth, GUN sent jets after Shadow, the jet jacker. Shadow saw them in his radar and they started firing at him.

"Oh Damnit!" Shadow screamed as he spun to dodge the blasts from the enemy jets. He swooped down low and let them pass. Then he stared firing at them and picking them off one by one. Finally there was one left. It turned around and flew at Shadow's jet.

"A game of chicken, huh? I never lose at this." Shadow smirked.

The jets flew at each other and they were about to collide when the enemy pilot swerved out of the way.

"Is he crazy?" The pilot asked himself.

"Now you die!" Shadow screamed as he fired at the jet. It exploded, killing the pilot.

He kept flying taking out GUN ships the next few minutes until he arrived at Central City.

Meanwhile, down at Central City Sonic was knocked back. "You've won this battle but I will return!"

Sonic jumped into the transport but right before in took off Shadow landed the jet on it crushing it down to as flat as a pancake.

"Takes care of that." Shad said as he hopped out of the cockpit of the jet.

"So we should begin searching for the entrance now?" Knuckles asked Shadow.

"NO! I'm not finished with you yet!" Sonic screamed as he lifted the debris off of him.

"OH so you're back for more." Knux said. "I've beaten you once and I'll do it again!"

"I'll be using my Chaos Emerald this time." Sonic pulled out a blue emerald. "Chaos Control!"

Sonic used the emerald to move at the speed of light and appear behind Shadow. He kicked him in the back and then teleported behind Knux but Knuckles anticipated it and jabbed him in the face. He stole the chaos emerald and threw it to Shad.

"I'll use this to enhance my power. Chaos Spear!"

The chaos energy hit Sonic right in the face. Shadow kept firing more and more chaos spears at Sonic until he was sure Sonic wasn't getting back up.

He was right. Sonic stayed on the ground.

"Well we should ask around about the entrance to Nightmare City at that restaurant over there." Knuckles said pointing to Mr. Pizza's Burger Shack.

"You just want to go there because you are hungry." Shadow assumed.

"Maybe but we need to start somewhere."

So they went inside and saw a familiar looking yellow mouse sitting at a table eating pie.

"Blade!" Knuckles screamed.

"Oh hey Knuckles! What are you doing here?" Blade the Mouse asked.

"Well we are trying to find the secret entrance to a place called Nightmare City. The entrance is located somewhere in this city. Know anything about it?" Shadow explained and then asked.

"Novar hurr a i." Blade said with his mouth full of pie.

"What did you say?" Knuckles asked.

Blade swallowed the pie. "I said I've never heard of it."

"Oh well. We'll find it I guess." Knuckles said.

"Okay well I've finished my pie so I'll be going now." Blade said as he walked out the door.
