Chapter Nine: Sky Troops
It has been a single day since Eggman suffered the humiliation defeat he recieved from Shadow and it only got worse after that. Soon after Eggman had recovered from the battle, he found that his computer database had been hacked by an unknown intruder. Now, Eggman was standing in the computer room with his robots, watching as the Black Arms were facing off against the G.U.N. soldiers in Westopolis through his computer monitors.
"Those idiots! They're destroying everything! How can I take over the city and build the Eggman Empire, if there IS no city?!" Eggman said in unimaginable rage. He slammed his fist onto the console as he continued to watch the Black Arms destroy the world he was trying to conquer. "I'm at my limit! I have no choice! Send in the Eggman Fleet. CHARGE!" Eggman commanded. The egg pawns quickly left the room to prepare for a war against the alien invaders.
The ruins that once stood in Glyphic Canyon were now floating in the sky to serve as the Black Arms fortress. Black Doom stood beside Shadow atop the main fortress, amazed by the fact that the ruins were actually flying. "No one would ever think this place could fly." Shadow commented. "I transported this magnificent to this planet over 2000 years ago. It is the ultimate killing machine. Ready to impose terror in unimaginable ways." Black Doom said to his greatest warrior.
Black Doom looked out to the distance to find that they would soon be attacked by a fleet of red flying battleships. "Do those fools really believe they can stop me?" Black Doom said. Shadow also to notice to the flying fleet and almost instantly recognized them. "Isn't that...the doctor?" Shadow asked. "Shadow...do not fail me." Black Doom said before disappearing through the floor. "Right." Shadow said before running of to face the Eggman Fleet.
Using a speed charge he discovered, Shadow jumped to another part of the flying fortress and was greeted by Doom's Eye. "Shadow, we must rid ourselves of that idiot scientist. Use our cannons to eliminate his fleet." Black Doom. Shadow looked past Doom's Eye to find the strange alien cannon that Black Doom was talking about. Shadow took his place in the cannon and aimed it towards the first battle ship in his sight. See how the turrets were the greatest threat; Shadow destroyed them before destroying the rest of the ship.
"Well done, Shadow. Now destroy the others and rid ourselves of this insolence." Black Doom ordered. "It is done." Shadow said. Shadow found another speed charge that allowed him to jump to another area of the fortress. When he landed, Shadow found himself in front of the temple that held the main power core to the fortress. Just then, Eggman's flying television floated from one of the nearby ship to him.
"Ah, Shadow, fancy running into you here." Eggman said. "Dr. Eggman." Shadow said. "Shadow I need your help. I have detected the power source of the black alien fortress inside this temple. I need you to destroy it for me." Eggman said to him. "He will do no such thing." Black Doom said as his eye floated in front of Eggman's TV. "So, you must be the one manipulating Shadow to do your dirty work." Eggman said. "Manipulating?" Shadow said confused.
"Shadow, you must not do as he says. If you do, the entire world will be destroyed." Eggman said. "What?!" Shadow shouted in surprise. "Do not listen to him. We only seek to bring order to this world." Black Doom said to him. Shadow looked to the alien and felt confident that he was telling him the truth. "If you do what he says, you'll be breaking your promise to Maria." Eggman said. Shadow looked shocked at Eggman as his mind thought back to the promise he made to Maria. "Shadow, Give them a chance to be happy."
Shadow snapped out of his memory when he heard Black Doom calling out his name. "Shadow, you must choose who you will ally. Join me and I will tell you everything you wish to know about your origins." Black Doom bribed. "But if you do, you will break your promise." Eggman said. "Choose, Shadow." Black Doom said. "Choose, Shadow." Eggman continued. The two kept on pressuring Shadow until it was too much for him to take. Shadow pulled out his chaos emerald, lifted it in the air, shouting "CHAOS CONTROL" and vanished.
"No matter. With or without Shadow, the Black Arms will eliminate your forces." Black Doom said. "I don't think so. You see, I have done a little tinkering recently." Eggman said. Just, black robots jumped from the flying battle ships and onto the many parts of the Black Arms fortress. Black Doom noticed that the black robots were exact robotic copies of his soldiers. "So, you created artificial copies of my warriors." Black Doom said. "What better way to defeat an enemy then with his own self." Eggman said laughing maniacally. "Let us see which of our soldiers is superior." Black Doom said as his eye floated into the temple.
The robot aliens walked into the temple and were greeted by their original selves. "This will be over in a snap. Men, CHARGE!" Eggman commanded. Soon a battle between real and robot alien had begun. The Black Warriors decided to be the first to strike and fired their guns at their robotic copies. The problem was that the laser fire bounced off the robots armor. "What?!" Black Doom shouted in surprise. "Ha, you didn't think my robots would be destroyed that easily." Eggman said with a grin.
The robot warrior extracted their metal claws and charged at the originals. The Black Warrior were helpless against their robotic doppelgangers and were sliced unmercifully cut to pieces. With the Black Arms no longer able to stop them, the robot aliens walked up to the green stone core and loaded their guns to fire. But as they were about to fire, a gigantic black hand popped out of the ground and grabbed the nearest robot and crushed it.
"What?!" Eggman yelled in surprise. "Behold the greatest of the Black Arms, the Black Oak." Black Doom introduced. After Black Doom introduced it, a gigantic Black Warrior appeared from the ground. Unlike the real Black Warriors, the Black Oak were larger and more muscular. "Don't just stand there. FIRE!" Eggman commanded. The robot aliens open fired at the giant, but their guns had no effect on it. The Black raised it fists and brought them down hard to crush its opponent and continued to do so until there were none left.
"As you can see, doctor, the Black Arms are unstoppable." Black Doom said. Eggman had realized that no matter how many robots he would send, they would not stand a chance against this new warrior. All had seemed hopeless for the doctor until a black blur went straight through the Black Oak. The Black Oak looked down to see a hole through it chest before dropping dead. Black Doom and Eggman looked to the stone core to see Shadow standing before it.
"Shadow, what have you done?! Do you realized what you are doing?!" Black Doom said, outraged by Shadow's actions. "I know exactly what I am doing. I am keeping my promise to Maria." Shadow said. Shadow turned back to face the green stone core of the fortress. Shadow pulled back his fist before sending it slamming into the core, destroying it. "NO!" Black Doom yelled. "Now only one left to go." Shadow said as he raised his chaos emerald into the air. "CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow shouted and disappeared.
A few miles away, Shadow had appeared again on another part of the fortress. But when Shadow touched the ground, he found himself surrounded by every known type of Black Arms imaginable. Then, Doom's Eye floated above him and said "This is your last chance Shadow. Join us and we shall being prosperity to the planet." Black Doom offered. "Never." Shadow replied. "Very well. You shall perish along with this planet." Black Doom said before his eye floated away.
The Black Arms soldier readied themselves to pounce on the traitorous hedgehog. "It is a very bad idea to fight against me." Shadow said as he pulled out the white and green chaos emeralds. Shadow crossed his arms with the emerald in hand and began to glow red like the last two times he did this attack. The Black Arms jumped onto Shadow and completely cover him with their bodies. But then the words "CHAOS BLAST" were heard and a gigantic explosion not only destroyed the Black Arms, but the entire area as well.
With the stone cores no longer able to provide energy, the entire Black Arms fortress fell from the sky. Along with the fortress, Shadow plummeted to the Earth as well. Amazingly, he though Shadow used his chaos blast, he still had enough strength to move. Shadow held up his green chaos emerald and shouted "CHAOS CONTROL!" and disappeared.
