A/N: I'm Back! Did ya miss me? No? Okay. I don't own SEGA.

CHAPTER 1

Elsewhere…

Mephiles sat in his evil throne. He overlooked his small resistance.

At either corner of the triangle, another figure would sit. On the far left, an electric demon with red eyes, known as Electrochaos, sat. On the far right corner, an olive colored hedgehog, named Scar, sat quietly. At the other side of the long room, wisps of shadow, much like tentacles, outstretched toward them, seeking victims to feed on. Out of the blue, Scar whined, "What are we going to do?" "We wait for the right timing…"muttered the dark lord. "I am sick and tired of waiting!" yelled Scar. "I agree," said Electrochaos. "We are drawing out way too long. I want to kill that stupid fox that always seems to be with the blue hedgehog!"

"AND!" yelled Scar, "You MUST let me kill the ebony Hedgehog known as Shadow!" Mephiles raised a hand. "In good time," replied Mephiles. "First, the new leader of Nega's army must ally with me. Then, we'll have more to our army." Suddenly, the shadowy door burst open. "Hello," said the tall figure which emerged from it. "I believe you need me. I have a proposition for you."

Mephiles was now interested. "Hum?"

Sonic ran at an incredibly fast pace, even for him. He didn't seem to break even the smallest of sweats! Tails was holding onto Sonic's arm. This was much too fast for Tails. But not for Shadow. Shadow aimlessly used his powerful air shoes to catch up. The three moved so quickly. They stopped at the sight of Gamma. Sonic broke out a super-friendly smile. "Hey!" exclaimed Sonic. "What's up, Gamma?" Gamma regarded Sonic blankly, but it's not like he could do otherwise. He was with his crew of robots, Omega, Beta, and Zero. All four of the robots were short circuiting. "Hey!" yelled Tails, "They're short circuiting!" He pulled out his trusty tool box and fixed them up. "My gratitude," Gamma beeped. "It seems after years of training," started Omega, "Our greatest test is completed, only to be introduced to a bigger one." "Hm. Tough," Shadow aloofly muttered, looking off into the distance. It looked a lot like a… robot army? "What?" Shadow mumbled.

Suddenly, a flurry of robotic soldiers surrounded them all. "ATTENTION," started one of the robots. "LORD MEPHILES HAS ORDERED MY TROOP TO ARREST YOU BY ORDER OF EGG FEDERATION LAW." "Suck this!" yelled Shadow, taking off his golden wrist rings. He started to glow a deep red color. "Chaos…" "NOT SO FAST," said the android. Two droids grabbed Shadow, one to each arm. They forced the rings back onto Shadow's wrists and made him stop glowing. "Damn…" Shadow grumbled. "WATCH YOUR TONGUE, HEDGEHOG." said the droid. With that, they grabbed Sonic and Tails, too. They also cuffed the E-Series robots before heading off to the prison cell. It seemed hope was not but ash. But, up above, the only chance of our heroes' survival glided across the wind currents.
