Chapter 2! Christmas holidays are here! I apologise for any spelling mistakes! Thanks for the reviews so far!

Chapter 2: With the help of Shadow.

Amy and Cream walked as fast as they could to find Shadow. Since Sonics death, Shadow has worked with Eggman. It wasn't his choice; he needed to go his separate way and without Sonic, there wasn't much hope anyway. Shadow guarded around Eggmans base to make sure no one would walk in.

Amy was a bit frightened. Not of Shadow, but of what he would say. They needed to fight. Even though there wasn't much hope, Amy was determined to finish what Sonic wanted finishing. They walked up to Shadow.

"Who goes there?!" Amy frowned.

"Shadow."

"Amy? Cream! What are you two doing here?"

"We need your help Shadow!" Shadows eyes widened. Normally it was Sonic they needed not him. Then he remembered. Sonic wasn't around anymore.

"What are you two on about?"

"Shadow, Tails found a way to get into the base-"

"WHAT! I MUST TELL ROBOTNIK!" Amy walked up to him and got her hammer out.

"I'm not scared of that Amy!" Then the hammer started glowing.

"Did I say that? Nah, I'm sure it was one of the other guards!"

"Listen to me Shadow! You will help us! You didn't even want this job in the first place, so whatever you're trying to do won't work!"

"I want my life back! I want Maria! Robotnik has promised that!"

"Are you really going to believe that trash again Shadow?!" Cream yelled at him. Shadows fists clenched.

"He promised! I'm not backing down just for two girls!"

"GIRLS!" They both yelled.

"We can do more than a bunch of girls can!"

"You'll help us Shadow!" Amy's eyes filled with hatred. Shadow sighed.

"What do you want me for anyway?" Amy smiled.

"If you come with us you'll find out!" They started walking but Shadow stopped.

"I'm not helping you guys for Sonic," Amy turned to him ready to kill. "I'm helping to get rid of Eggman and get my memory back faster! Don't even think I like Sonic! Do you understand?" Cream nodded and Amy smiled.

"For the record, you hate Sonic right?" Shadow smiled.

"Yep!" Amy smiled. 'Same old Shadow. Apart from the smiling.' They walked to their base. Tails new X tornado. It was almost as big as Eggmans base. They walked in to see Rouge looking at a map.

"What's that Rouge?" Cream asked.

"A map of the base." She replied, still looking at the map. Amy smiled at Rouge. Rouge looked up at them.

"See you found Shadow. Long time, no see." Shadow nodded. "Tails has been worried about you two. You've been gone a while!"

"Well, his 'directions' weren't exactly accurate." Cream giggled. Rouge smiled at them.

"Go to the bridge, Tails will need help." Still smiling, Amy and Cream dragged Shadow up to the bridge to see Tails.

"There you guys are! I was just about to send Knuckles out there. You came just in time Shadow. I need you to help me."

"What d'you need me for?" Tails smiled.

"Do you know the security codes?"

"Most of them not back to front though!"

"Good because I need front to back!" Shadow frowned while Amy and Cream giggled.

"Shadow, I need you to turn off all the security up to sector 0 can you do that?" Tails chucked a walkie talkie to him. "Any problems press the left button. Knuckles, you and Rouge you need to get rid of as many security guards as possible." As Tails chucked a walkie talkie at him, Knuckles nodded as he and Shadow walked off to get Rouge and get going. "I'll give you the signal for when to go!" He yelled at them. "Amy, you and Cream will run about 3 minutes behind them to get the green emerald. Hopefully Shadow will take security off the emeralds. If not, there'll be red lights all over them so don't touch them." He chucked a walkie talkie at Amy. "Shadows the right button, get Shadow if not, press the left on to get to me got it?" Amy and Cream nodded. "Off you go!"

Amy and Cream ran to the exit as Shadow, Knuckles and Rouge got out and, with the help of Shadow, ran at full speed to Eggmans base. Amy and Cream waited, then got out and ran.

"Good luck guys." Tails spoke down the walkie talkie.

"Don't need it Tails." Tails smiled as Amy spoke. Knowing her she'll be back in a flash.

"Good good."
