"I told you Amy, stop tackling me every time you see me, your going to give me brain damage or something!" Amy chased after Sonic who, after five failed attempts to open the doors, realized he was stuck with his assailant, turning he tried to calm the girl down. Dodging another tackle he quickly ducked into a vent nearby, quickly sneaking into it.
Sonic felt safe at the moment, crawling up the vent he began to ascend up the floors, from what he could here he was near Cream's room, peering in through the vent, he realized it was empty, carefully he slid out and placed the vent cover back on, slowly he inched around the corners of the room when he stopped suddenly, a pink book was lying on the table, little butterflies and drawings on it, with the words: Cream's Diary, on it.
A small smile slid across Sonic's face, he unwittingly snatched it up and quickly snapped open the lock, flipping through the book he began to read," Today was just great, after Tails fixed up my table I was able to have my tea par-" He quickly yawned and stated," Boring, what else she got?" flipping again his eyes widened at the topic, Likes and Dislikes.
Smiling he began to read," Today I have decided to list off the people I like and dislike as well as a reason why, first off I will write the Likes: Number 1 is Tails, he is sweet and will always give me the time of day to talk to him about problems. Number 2 is Vector, even though he can be a pain he is still funny with how he talks and acts, I find him very amusing. Number 3 Charmy, he is like a little brother he usually comes to my tea parties and will talk for hours with me. Number 4 is Big, even though he is not on the ship really, whenever we do land on the home planet he always ha funny stories to tell. Number 5 is Cheese of course, the little Chao is my best friend sometimes I doubt I would manage without him."
Sonic took a few breaths and snickers and continued," A for those I dislike: Number 1 is Knuckles, I find he is to hot headed and mean, I wish he would lighten up who knows why he is like that. Number 2 is Espio, he is very creepy not to mention that he is a spy and can turn invisible which means he could watch when girls take showers, and not to mention how much he despises Vector and Charmy. Number 3 is Amy, I find her love for Sonic way to unsettling, I mean it is the only thing she will talk about, even after seeing that black hedgehog who in my opinion is probably different then Sonic in many good reasons maybe she is just insane. Number 4 is Sonic, he is such an arrogant, self-centered, selfish jerk, he doesn't even care that he causes Tails so much problems or the fact that he is a danger to a lot of us. Oh I have to go now "Sonic" Is calling us for a meeting, see you Mr. Diary!"
Sonic placed the book down, his smile was gone he thought to himself," Self-centered huh, well I will show her, that girl will pay for mocking the great Sonic!" Sonic turned and exited her room, turning his head back and forth to make sure no one saw him, smiling he exited and walked to the control room, Tails and Knuckles were in front of the terminal looking in the training room he had been stuck in, they were obviously searching for him.
Smiling Sonic walked right up behind them and shouted," Hey guys we got an emergency!" Tails and Knuckles both jumped from their seat an crashed down, Sonic burst out laughing and was rolling on the ground, Tails and Knuckles both got up Tails rubbed his neck while Knuckles walked up to Sonic, he shouted," What the hell was that for!"
Sonic smiled and said," You just had to lock me with her didn't you?" Knuckles smiled as well, rubbing the back of his head and said," Well you had it coming for trapping her in my room that one time, she nearly destroyed it trying to escape, granted she didn't, but she got pretty close to it, besides it was Tails' idea."
Knukles pointed over to Tails who dropped his jaw in surprise, Sonic smiled and said," So it was you Tails, well what should I do about this?" Cream turned from her terminal and said," Actually Sonic it was Knuckles not Tails, he is innocent except for laughing he did that." Sonic seemed to be glaring at the bunt as she spoke, both Tails and Knuckles looked confused and Cream seemed to back up in fright.
Sonic rose his two fingers to his eyes and then towards her, he said," I have my eyes on you….." slowly he backed out of the room and the doors finally shut, Knuckles and Tails turn towards her and ask," What was that about?" Cream shook her head, nothing registered why he looked so mad, turning back they tried to forget it and get some work done.
Metal Sonic slowly opened his optics, turning his head slightly as he hopped down from his charging station, his eyes quickly flashed a yellow color for concern, frantically scaling the room for life he shouted a he left," Damn it all Shadow, were are you?" Turning a corner he nearly slammed into Rouge who happened to be flying by.
Rouge startled flies with him and asks," what is the rush Metal?" Metal Sonic was surprised she called him that but responded," Shadow I not in point alpha 1-056, Station 6-B, his energy was very slim meaning it had been some time ago!" Rouge slowly nodded her head, she followed close behind hoping he was still locked on to shadow's energy.
Metal slowed to a hover as he looked down a few corridors, his sensors spinning like crazy, turning towards her he said," He has been down each way very short time ago, he could be down either one, you take the right and I'll take the left!" He quickly flew down the left side of the hallway leaving her to go right.
As she continued down the cooridor she could see that a lot of the station was no longer intact, there was wires hanging from busted lights and machinery, as she continued down the strange area, she noticed there was an old medical station there inside was nothing but old medicine bottles scattered around and various machinery, suddenly something behind her caught her attention, she turned in time to see the missile that was headed towards her, quickly she flung out of the way as it crashed into the large plain of glass near her.
A loud cracking noise told her the whole thing was about to shatter, she launched into the room with the medical stuff as the glass exploded outwards and the oxygen and objects were sucked outside, grasping for anything she found that nothing was bolted down and all of the machinery came with her, she could no longer hold anything and was sucked out into space, her oxygen fading quickly.
Metal continued down the left cooridor until he was sure she was down hers, turning he raised his hand, a slot opened up, a small missile pushed it's way out, aiming he locked onto his target, a bat creature flying down the hall, and then went beyond to the airlock station near the medic, he said before firing," You will not take my friend from me!"
He missile shot out from his hand at incredible speed, he turned back and flew in the opposite direction once again, heading down the hallway he came to the last room, nodding his head he quickly bypassed the security and pried open the door, slowly he entered and searched for Shadow's energy force which was in the far back.
He quickly flew over and helped Shadow up, he seemed fine and was standing again, looking towards Metal he said," How did you find me here…." Metal looked around and said," I locked onto your energy source and was able to track you down, where are we?" Shadow glanced around and said," This is one of the rooms in which me and Sonic fought at, it ended all the way down at the far end of the cooridor on the right side, were all the damage took place…. Wait were is Rouge?"
Metal shook his head and said," I…. I tried to stop the doctor but he wouldn't listen…. He….. he finished her off he launched her into space, before I could get her…. It was to late….. she is dead….." Shadow fell to the ground, a few tears rolled down from his face, Metal bent down and hugged him, he said," I am sorry Shadow, but I am still here, your friend Metal Sonic…."
Shadow nodded his head, he still had one friend, smiling he rose to his feet anger rushing through him, he glare outside of the room and said," Time to pay the doctor a visit then, I think it is high time that I end that fat ass' rule once and for all, after all these years he still hasn't helped me with my problem….. your all I have left now Metal, please will you join me in my vengeance?"
Metal nodded his head and said," Of course my friend, I will meet up with you down the hall, I need to check out this room first, it is one of many I have not seen." Shadow nodded his head and left the room, after the doors shut Metal said," And after Eggman's death, that will be the end of the tow people that can keep me from my friend….."
Shadow tapped his foot waiting, finally Metal came out and they ran down the hallway, before they could even reach the doctor a holo image of him appeared, he had a huge grin on his face, Shadow snarled at him as Eggman began," Well Shadow, your timing couldn't have been better, I have a surprise that you will just love, well two but the other not so much…"
Shadow smashed the machine and battered down the door way, Metal slowly trailing from behind, Eggman turned from were he was standing, he locked eyed with shadow and then with Metal, he rubbed his mustache and said," Well you didn't have to break down the door now did you Shadow, I think it is time I showed you why I called you….."
Tails typed into his terminal, the strange energy that was in space was headed towards them, it was no traveling fast but ut was defenetly headed towards them. Sonic was outside the ship waiting for Tails to signal for him to check it out, his suit fully sealed, the object came into view on Tails' screen, Tails said," Alright Sonic intercept it, it should be infront of you any minute now."
Sonic jumped off the ship and flew out, within five minutes the object was now in front of him, his eyes widened as he saw it, slowly he dragged the object back, opening the hatch to the ship he helped it onto a medical table. Tails rushed I and gasped, he moved closer and leaned down to listen, luckily there was still a heartbeat.
Tails said," Hang on Rouge, we will help you…." Tails quickly brought out medical supplies and the machinery required to test her blood, Rouge groaned as she slowly rose from the bed, Tails and Sonic were there, the others had not been informed yet, she slowly coughed as she struggled to stand. Tails sighed and said," Well you are so lucky rouge, if it had not been for that oxygen mask you may have severly injured your lungs and probably would have died, this would have been the second time this has happened."
Rouge lifted and eyebrow as she asked," what do you mean would have been the second time?" Tails said," well the first was that guy, Shadow I believe, five years ago remember he died from is broken respirator?" Rouge chckled a little and said," Yah, I think you guys have the wrong story, Shadow is alive." Sonic cut in and asked," But we haven't seen him in all these five years, why hasn't he attacked us?"
Rouge shook her head and said," It is rather upsetting but when that fight ended the doctor was able to save him and allow him to breath again, but do to the severe damage to his lungs and heath he was just to hurt to be able to fight again, he can't even go into space any more, at this point I think he will die any day if he doesn't be careful, I was barely able to save him today as it was."
Tails quickly asked," Oh yah your injuries rouge, what were you doing floating in space?" Rouge shook her head and said," Uh, don't remind me, I am ot even sure, you see I was looking for Shadow because he wasn't in the Medical lab, Metal told me to follow him because he could track me, when we got to a cross inter section he told me to go right and said that shadow had been down both ways recently, whne I got to an old Medical ward, I heard something come behind me, a missile swerved around the corner, I was barely able to move before it struck the glass behind me, as I jumped into the room, I then was sucked out and was able to snatch a mask before passing out."
Tails confused asked," Wait, you jumped into the medial room right?" Rouge nodded her head, he continued," then why didn't you just grab some of the equipment and hold onto something bolted down?" Rouge shook her head and said," sugar, there was nothing to hold onto, every last thing in that room was detached from the walls to the floor, I mean everything, not even the wiring in the ceiling seemed to be attacked."
Tails slanted his eyes and said," Ok that is weird, why would everything in that specific room be unbolted and detached, are you sure someone didn't set you up?" Rouge opened her eye, she asked," But that wouldn't make sence, I was the only other person down there and the only other person looking for shadow, had to go down there after…. Metal told me to….."
Tails and Sonic both nodded there heads, Rouge's eyes burst into a red color, Tails and Sonic both backed away, her armor seemed to even glow from her anger, she shouts," When I get my hands on that machine I am going to rip him to shreds, he is going to pay for this, I don't even want to hear his name or I will go crazy!" The two glance at eachother befre inching away.
