Zero Sagas
Chapter 12: The Search for Eggman and the Emeralds
(A/N), I own Zero, Sapphire, Nightmare, and Lifeform 0. I also own the idea of Zero Sagas. I DON'T own Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Knuckles ect. They belong to their respectful owners.
Tails and Knuckles flew towards the Space Colony Ark in Tails' newly modified ship.
"So how long do you think it will take us to locate Eggman's base?" Knuckles fidgeted his fingers out of sheer boredom.
"Well once we arrive at the colony we can tap into the Arks systems and send out a signal, once we do that we will have to single out the systems that it can't be and narrow them down." Tails began what seemed to be too long of a response.
"Tails!"
"Um… About one to three hours…"
Knuckles sighed heavily. 'Great, now what am I going to do for three hours???'
Tails and Knuckles docked in the Ark and exited their ship. "Let's go find the control room!" Tails said running off.
"Wonderful…" Knuckles followed behind slowly.
Meanwhile…
"So all I have to do is get you the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald?"
Eggman sat at his desk, across him sat the gray hedgehog that was released from the crystal. Eggman watched him out of the corner of his eye as he tapped his fingers together in thought.
"That's right. Simple, No?" The hedgehog folded his arms across his chest and closed his eyes.
'This is similar to the incident with Shadow.' Eggman thought to himself. "What makes me think that I can trust you?"
"Well, you choose, I will take this world with or without your help, so you choose." He leaned back in the chair.
Eggman turned his chair and looked out his windows and began to think. Join him and rule the world, or not join him and be destroyed. It was an easy decision for Eggman; he turned quickly in his chair and stood up.
"Let's make this planet ours!" Eggman shook the hedgehog's hand. "Let me introduce myself, I am Dr. Eggman the worlds greatest scientist."
"I am Lifeform 0… You can call me Zero." Zero crossed his arms.
"Very well Zero, so we need to find the Chaos Emeralds, I have one," Eggman pulled out a Chaos Emerald from his pocket.
"Excellent." Zero took the emerald from Eggman; "We already have two allies out looking for the other emeralds, so we should go look as well."
Eggman and Zero stood and left the room, as they walked down the corridor Zero's ears twitched.
"Hm… Eggman do you have any guests in your facility?"
Eggman turned. "Only one blue annoying hedgehog."
"I wish to pay this hedgehog a visit."
Eggman led Zero through a corridor and up to a large steel door. He turned and entered a combination on the keyboard and the door slid open. As they entered the room he entered the combination on the next door, opening it as well. Sonic lifted his head up as the lights were turned on.
"Good morning hedgehog!" Eggman smirked evilly as they entered, "I hope you had a nice nap."
Sonic was about to give a smart response when he noticed the hedgehog at his side. "Huh? I've never seen you before."
Zero approached Sonic and examined him head to toe. "You look like me."
"That's what I've been told." Sonic said remembering his meetings with Shadow.
"So… You're the famous hero that has saved the world many times from many disasters." Zero turned from Sonic and folded his arms, "Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"How do you know who I am?"
"Yet this time you won't save the world." Zero said ignoring Sonic's question, "This time… you won't stop me!"
"Who are you???" Sonic repeated his earlier question.
"I am the element of evil, the one who almost destroyed the world almost two millennium ago." Zero turned back to Sonic, " I am Lifeform 0, yet you can call me Zero."
Meanwhile…
"I got their location!"
Knuckles woke from his sleep to see Tails standing over him with a piece of paper in hand. He stood and stretched, looking around. "How long was I asleep?"
"About half an hour." Tails helped Knuckles to his feet.
"Only half an hour? I thought you said about one to three hours!" Knuckles was glad it didn't take as long as Tails had said it would.
"Well I began to scan for energy signals, as I searched Eggman's energy systems seemed to spike beyond that of any other company could go even if they had all their systems on. Eggman helped us find him!" Tails explained
"Heh well at least we know where he is." Knuckles stood to his feet, "Now let's go find Sonic!"
Knuckles and Tails rushed back to the ship and began to fly back to earth.
Meanwhile…
Amy and Shadow walked through the military base carrying two chaos emeralds in hand. They stepped over the unconscious bodies of the military soldiers.
"Shadow you made too much of a mess." Amy complained. "I told you we should have been more stealthy."
Shadow and Amy casually exited the military base.
"Where is the next chaos emerald?" Shadow said, slightly annoyed of Amy's whining.
Amy pulled out the radar they found in the base and examined it. "Well, the radar says that the some of the chaos emeralds are on the move to Angel Island, we should intercept them in the jungle and take them by surprise!"
"Very Well."
Meanwhile…
Julia, Michelle, and Haze ran through Station Square. "So Haze… Where should we look to find this Sapphire?" Julia asked.
"Well, we should start our search at Angel Island, so lets head through the jungle, I believe it's a shortcut." Haze, Julia, and Michelle ran into the forest, out of sight.
"Hm… the emeralds are gathering in the forest…" A mysterious figure said to himself as he watched Haze, Julia, and Michelle vanish from sight, "Heh… this is going to be too easy!"
Meanwhile…
"Eggman!" Zero turned from Sonic, "We're done here, while the emeralds are being collected for us let's go to Angel Island and get the Master Emerald."
"Very Well." Eggman turned and followed Zero out of the room, "Sayonara, Sonic the Hedgehog!" He said waving evilly to Sonic as the door closed and locked.
"Dang it!" Sonic banged his foot against the wall, "I have to stop them somehow!"
The Chaos Emeralds are gathering together, what will happen? Who is the mysterious figure following Haze, Julia, and Michelle?
