The group of friends stayed together, shadow stopped in his tracks as did they did. "I want all of you to run.'' he said quietly. From behind three Apache helicopters and two Comanche's in front of them showed. "NOW!!'' shadow commanded. His friends started to run, shadow backed up, but from behind the apaches fired their mini-guns shadow went to the nearest building and sped upwards. He skated with his hovershoes up the skyscraper, next to him an Apache was to his right it fired its mini gun the bullets trailed behind him the bullets shattered the glass windows. Before reaching the top at edge of it, shadow back flipped and over the apache, he tossed a grenade at the rudder and it exploded and it was broke into pieces.
The pilot remained in the chopper, shadow teleported on top of the window he smashed the window, he picked the pilot up and leaped off as the chopper impacted the skyscraper. Shadow with chaos control was back on the ground shadow put the man on the sidewalk. Shadow saw the two apaches and two Comanche's from behind shadow jumped up and threw grenades both ways. The grenades exploded with them destroying the two Comanche's and apaches. He landed back to the ground, except all around him were military soldiers and M1A1's ready to fire. Shadow looked around him, he saw coming through the crowd of soldiers was General Richards with a 9mm in his hand.
Richards approached the ebony hedgehog he pointed the gun at him the whole time, the general stopped right in front of shadow with the gun aimed at his head. "You…killed all those…my soldiers and laid waste to my base.'' he said. Shadow knew he was wrong, it was metal shadow who did it. "I didn't do anything.'' shadow spoke back with no tone in his voice. "Yes you did, one soldier told me over the radio, that you destroyed the base before YOU shot him!!!'' he yelled shaking the gun. Shadow kept his angry expression on his face. "I should kill you right now!'' he exclaimed "Then do it.'' shadow replied, Richards hesitated and pulled the trigger slowly, the ground shook and he didn't fire the shot. A claw reached out of the ground, its silvery claw shined, and out came Metal Knuckles. Shadow growled and he turned to the metal warrior. Metal knuckles dug underground and shadow looked around he burst from the concrete and with a quick cut, the claws sliced against his skin.
Shadow covered the wound his white glove, stained with his blood. He looked to knuckles he charged forward and grabbed him by the wrists and slammed metal into the ground. He took out his 9mm until a explosions shockwave sent shadow fly frontward's and landed to the ground, he looked and saw metal sonic with smoke coming from his arm, he landed next to metal knuckles. Shadow got up he cringed his eyes, he saw in the crowd his pokemon pals watching the scene. Shadow used chaos control and in his hands were two M60's he was about to fire, but ducked as metal shadow flew over him and he landed in front of metals sonic and knuckles. Shadow watched and then coming down he saw Eggman in his hover ship with a grin on his face.
"I knew you were a coward Eggman, but outnumbering your enemy just proves it more.'' shadow remarked. General Richards saw metal shadow and then it hit him! "So, this whole time Eggman built a metal copy of shadow?'' he said shocked because he was chasing the wrong guy. "Yes I fooled you, I thought your military could kill shadow, but they couldn't nonetheless my metals shall!'' he said victoriously and then laughed afterwards he once again flew away in his hover ship. Shadow looked back at his foes and aimed the twin M60's at them. Metal Knuckles transformed his claws into drills and showed them off by rotating them. Metal Sonic transformed his hands into flamethrowers as the flame alit from them. Metal Shadow changed his hands into machine guns and the sound of the bullets reloading sounded. Metal Shadow was about to fire, but the general fired at its head the general then yelled "DESTROY THE METALS!!'' the soldiers opened fire the three metals fought back as well, shadow looked behind and saw a swarm of Eggman's robots coming he turned around and aimed. Next to him was the pokemon Blastoise he saw that it belonged to misty she nodded and he did as well then a Buizel at his left side came, followed by Pikachu, and Brocks Onix, then May's Blaziken. Shadow smiled "Blastoise hydro pump!'' misty yelled "Buizel use surf!'' dawn yelled the two elements combined the water showered the robots as they landed, "Pikachu use thunderbolt!'' ash shouted the robots were then destroyed as the thunder caused their bodies to explode. More robots soared "Onix use strength!'' Brock yelled The rock pokemon lifted off the ground and then using its own body it smashed the robots below him. "Blaziken use fire spin!'' she shouted the fire pokemon let out a ring of fire that brought down more robots. Shadow was of coursed shocked then together he and the pokemon went into the fray between: The three metals, Eggman's robot Army, vs. General Richards's own armed forces.
The battle continued a squad of soldiers mowed down a group of robots, but from below was metal knuckles creating a quake sending them flying. Robots and soldiers clashed metal shadow spotted shadow, who was fighting metal sonic. Shadow kept firing the bullets from his M60's metal sonic stumbled back, shadow heard metal shadow at full speed coming at him, shadow jumped up and metal shadow tackled meta sonic. Shadow landed back on the ground.
The two metals in front of him and behind him was metal knuckles shadow dropped the guns, the three metals charged for him, shadow remained still he held a C4 in his hand he activated it and dropped it at his feet and he leaped up the three metals stopped before running into each other and they all looked down and it exploded sending the metal copies crashing into a building. Shadow fought against robots. He punched one in the face making it fall, he headed for another and ripped its arm off then pummeled it with the arm he threw it aside. He saw a tank being overcome by robots he dashed over to it and got on the 50. Caliber and bullets blew them all up. He got off the machine gun and as soon as he did he was tackled by metal sonic who then fired his jets and they collided into a building, shadow fell down, but metal shadow grabbed him by the neck and threw him up again Shadow regained consciousness and he dodged to the left from metal knuckles who attempted to stab him with his drill hands. Shadow let himself fall metal shadow came from behind him and he grabbed gave a punch into his stomach shadow flinched from it. Shadow grabbed metal shadow and he saw metal sonic coming back, shadow threw metal shadow into metal sonic and the two impacted into the street.
Shadow finally landed but on a building, from under it and behind him metal knuckles came. Shadow took out his desert eagle in one hand, metal knuckles flew forward to him, but shadow grabbed him by the neck he fell of the building with him. Shadow was on top of him and he fired into metal knuckles chest and sparks and a small fire rose from the bullet hits. Shadow held a C4 then he planted it inside of the gaping hole of metal knuckles, shadow teleported and was back on the ground and looked up and saw metal knuckles burst into flames. He looked back on the battlefield to see the pokemon and soldiers mopping up what's left of the robots. Metal Sonic landed behind him he dodged from one punch then shadow gave him a uppercut kick making metal sonic dizzy.
Shadow spotted a tanker still attached to the truck. He picked metal up and he kicked a hole in the top of the tanker and threw metal in the diesel fuel. Shadow held his hand out and a grenade was in his hands "Peace'' shadow said and he tossed the grenade in and shadow leaped off it and behind him the tanker became a cloud of fire. Shadow stopped in his tracks and in front of him was metal shadow. He cracked his knuckles and clenched his fists, metal shadow charged and tackled shadow and they both crashed into a parked car. Shadow kicked him off, metal shadow changed his hands into machine guns and opened fire, shadow stayed away from the path of bullets. Metal shadow stopped firing and then a blast of water hit him it was misty's Blastoise, Pikachu's cheeks sparked and thunderbolt hit metal shadow. The metal copy fell to the ground with a loud clank, shadow walked up to him he held a 9mm "There is only one shadow.'' then he fired one shot into his core processor. The battle was over, the trainers put their pokemon back in their poke balls.
General Richards walked up to him and he held his hand out and shadow shook his hand. A soldier came running up to the two and he was panting "Sir you have to come and see this.'' he said. Shadow nodded to the general, the group followed the soldier back to G.U.N. headquarters and into the control room. On the large screen was a picture of earth and the gigantic meteorite coming toward it. The general and shadow and pokemon trainers stared in disbelief. "It will hit in about 15 minutes sir.'' the soldier told him. The president was there as well, "We won the battle, but we're about to lose the war.'' the general said with no hope. "Isn't there a way to stop it?'' ash asked "No, the meteorite is too large and powerful to destroy the whole planet.'' the general replied. They all looked down and the people outside saw the approaching meteorite hope was gone or is it?
