"..sensors picking up radio transmission… communication line received.. re-routing connection… sequence begin in 5.. 4… 3.. 2.. 1…"

BRAAAHHH YEEEEHHHH machine sounds could be heard, they were like thunder. Everyone in the ship shot their heads to the sky, noticing the loud crackle.
"What in the world?" Rouge whispered.
The boat started to shake violently.
"yueaaraaah!" Rouge held onto the bathtub, the bubbles and the water splashed everywhere.
Shadow blinks "…Wha?"
Rouge quickly slips back into her clothes, 'Good thing I didn't take my make up off yet' she thought. She ran to the door but stopped when she saw Shadow "Shadow? What are you doing here?"
Shadow got up onto his feet, a little shaken up, but who wasn't, with a ship that big, it was like a giant earthquake.
The boat began to shake more. The vaces and pictures on the well shook off and fell to the floor, glass broken everywhere. Shadow and Rouge were more interested in what was causing this disturbance, then their conversation. They could pick up on that later. But this is NOW. They both looked at each other and nodded, and ran out of the room, and up to the top deck.
"What is that thing?!" Cream shouted "Chao chao!" cheese shouted.
"Stay by me!" Amy ordered, she didn't want cream getting hurt. "Everything will be ok" Cream held onto Amy.
"Heh heh It's about time…" Sonic snickered.
"OK WHAT'S THAT RACKET" Knuckles snarled, running over to Sonic, but quickly taken by the enormous machine holding onto the edge of the boat.
Sonic zoomed up to the edge of the boat. "Eggman! It's about time you showed up! I was getting bored!" Sonic winked.
Knuckles crossed his arms in disgust "Grrr… Some hero"
"What's happening?" Rouge came up to the deck, With Shadow right next to her.
"Eggman decided to show up," Knuckles growled.
Shadow and Rouge looked over at him.
"Eggman? What does he want this time?" Shadow asked.

"Re routing complete. Successful." The machines computers read to the infamous Dr. Eggman.
"I believe you have a chaos emerald that belongs to me!" Eggman spoke through his speaker, to Sonic.
Sonic smirked "Finders Keepers Dr. E" Sonic tossed a dark blue emerald in his hands.
Rouge's attentions turned to the emerald. 'He has a Chaos Emerald..' she thought to herself.
"Give me your emerald and the rest that are present on this ship, or you'll be swimming with the sharks!" Eggman threatened
Sonic shuddered 'Water… yuuuck…' Sonic yawned trying to show no concern.
"Why you!" Eggman quickly launched a small missle.
"Whao!" Sonic jumped out of the way.
Shadow dashed in front of the missile quickly and destroyed it using his chaos spear attack.
"Are You crazy!? Do you want the ship to be sunk?!" Knuckles shook his fist at Sonic.
Sonic ignored Knuckles and Ran across the deck, and then jumped up in the air, facing the giant machine.
The machine launched electric shocks at Sonic. Sonic dodged each one, several times. "Is that the best you got Dr. E?" Sonic taunted, lowering his eyelid, as he landed on the robots shoulder. The robot launched a shield of energy, blowing Sonic away with a great force; he hit the watchtower of the boat. "Ugh.."
"Sonic!" Amy yelled with concern. "That's it, No one hurts my Sonic!" Amy got out her giant piko piko hamer, and charged for the robot.
"Not so fast!" Eggman launched several metal boxes onto the upper deck of the ship; they all bounced in front of Amy.
"Huh?" Amy said confused.
"shwooosh." The boxes quickly surrounded her making a circular cage.
"What?!" Amy hammered against it, no effect. "Darn it!"
"Now if you would just give me that Emerald I'd be happy t-" Eggman was interrupted.
"Doctor!" Shadow shouted. "I've had enough of this show" Shadow began walking towards Eggman. "its your time to leave."
"And who says so?"
Shadow got into battle stance, preparing his chaos spear. "Huuraah! Chaos spear!" Shadow shot it at the core of the robot, it bounced off, nearly hitting Sonic.
"Geez!" Sonic shouted.
"Your attacks are useless, you might as well give up now. With my egg-o-barrier in place, you can't touch me. You're already beaten."
"So you say." Shadow held his stance.
"This is ridiculous, Doctor, we're on a vacation. Couldn't you have waited a few more days?" Rouge snipped.
"My time is precious, my Dear Rouge" Eggman launched the hand to his robot to grab for Rouge, Rouge jumped into the air.
"So quick to touch, Doc?" Rouge mocked. Rouge then winked at Sonic and Shadow from above. She was stalling, keeping the doctor busy. "Honestly, I thought you at least would have some manners."
Sonic and Shadow nodded then looked over at each other nodding again. They started to run for the part of the machine that was attached to the boat.
"Well.. " Eggman continued on, buying into Rouge's stalling.
"Now Shadow!" Sonic shouted.
They both grabbed each other's hands and Spung using a spin dash attack together, creating an enormous force, they blasted against the core of the machine, trying to break the barrier.
"No! what are they doing!" Eggman noticed what Sonic and Shadow were doing.
"They're trying to break the barrier!" Tails called out to everyone, pointing out the obvious, as usual.
"Tails!" Amy shouted.
"huh? Who said that?" Tails asked a little frightened.
"Come on Tails! Get me out of here!" Amy shouted.
Tails took a step away whistling.
"Tails!!" Amy yelled in anger.
"Ho ho" Eggman pressed a button in his control room, an electric pulse shot through Sonic and Shadow. They were flung into the air. Eggman was ready to launch homing missiles, but the controls weren't responding correctly. This held him and his machine back. 'Hmm.. something's interfering with some of my controls…'
"Sonic! Sorry Amy, I'm uh.. busy" Tails Pushed off the deck and flew into the sky to catch Sonic.
Rouge flew up and caught Shadow by the hands. Tails and Rouge flew in the opposite direction of each other, a hedgehog held by both.
"Thanks Buddy" Sonic thanked Tails. Tails nodded with a smile.
"If you won't give me those emeralds, I'll be forced to tear this ship to shreds!" Eggman released a giant spinning blade, ready to chop the boat in half, with the other passengers on board. However, the blade wasn't moving at full blast, it was vulnerable to attack. It seemed like whenever he tried to attack the ship, something went wrong.
"Not if I can help it!" Knuckles growled. "Sonic, lets try the Spin dive!"
Sonic gave thumbs up and winked. Tails dove down with Sonic, ready to spin against the blade.
"That's crazy!" Rouge said watching them dive.
They dove down, against the blade; sparks flew in the air from the two spinning figures. Tails flew into the air throwing dummy ring bombs at Eggman's machine. In return Eggman shot homing missiles at Tails.
"Uh oh!" Tails flew out of the way, but noticed the missiles were following him. "gahh! Homing missiles!" Tails zig zagged trying not to get hit.
"Hmph, ..Hey.. Rouge.., you still have those dummy ring bombs?" Shadow asked.
"..Ah I see where you're going with this, I have something even better. Grab onto my feet."
Shadow grabbed onto Rouge's feet instead of her hands. Rouge got a bunch of round bombs, they resembled poke balls. "Set to go off in 10 seconds!" She dove and flew around the machine, throwing as many bombs as she could, trying to weaken the barrier.
Knuckles noticed Tails problem "Tails over here!" Tails flew down at knuckles.
"Wuuuuhhh!!" Tails shouted in fright.
"Gyeh kyuh eh Kyuh!" Knuckles punched out the missles.
"..Whew.. Thanks knuckles" Tails panted.
Rouge handed Shadow some charges to put on the machine.
"Ready?" Rouge asked.
"Ready" Shadow replied.
Shadow began to spin in a spin dash, and Rouge kicked him at the machine. He nearly made the machine fall over as he made contact with it, a powerful blow. He put the charges on the machine, and kicked off it, Rouge grabbed him and flew out of the way. The charges explode, making the ship fall into the sea.
"What? Nooo! The shields been destroyed!" Eggman shouted. "You pests!"
Shadow gave Rouge a high five. Rouge giggled.
"What's so funny?" he asked.
"Its just fun to fight side by side, like we used to." Rouge said.
Shadow thought back to the last time she said that to him, when they were in the Doctors base, surrounded by guard robots. He finally started to understand what she meant. "Heh"
The machine blasted out of the water, splashing water everywhere.
"What?!" Sonic shouted.
"It's not over" Knuckles growled.
Rouge jumped into the air "I've had enough of you!" Rouge lunged at the machine with a powerful drill kick; blasting right threw the Robot's interior and exterior.
"Uh oh.." Eggman panicked.
"Turn the ship out of the way!!" Tails shouted
The captain gulped and grabbed the wheel, trying to turn the ship away from the machine.
"It's going to blow!" Eggman quickly ran to an escape submarine. And got out of his giant machine, he quickly got away safely as the machine sunk into the ocean.
5…4… 3… 2… 1..
"Broooooowwwwwwwwooooooooowchhhhxchhhhcxxhxxxxhxxxx!" the machine exploded, creating a giant blast of water, the ship almost fell on its side, but luckily got away from the explosion enough to survive.
"Yeh-heah! Too Easy!" Sonic high fived Tails. "Sonic 1,324 Eggman 0!"
"You keep count?" Knuckles asked dumbfounded.
"Uhh.. well I.."
"Hey wait, where's Rouge?" Tails asked.
"Huh?" Sonic looked out into the sea.
Shadow realized Rouge never appeared after kicking through the machine.
"You don't think.. she was.. in the machine when it exploded?! Do you?!" Tails asked franticly to Sonic.
None of them spoke. The sea was silent.
