Sonic and Shadow were flying Tails' newly upgraded Tornado, due to the next Doom Express car being located on a huge mountain. The plane was being remotely controlled by Tails, so both could jump out. They didn't bother with parachutes."Parachutes are for wimps." was Sonic's reason. Shadow ignored the comment, and they both plummeted from the airplane to board the car.

"Strange." Puzzled Silver." This one has no weapon systems. I have a really bad feeling about this. Be on your guard."

"Right." Sonic nodded. He found a handle on the roof of the car, and held onto it."Let's break this thing open."He swung the Ball into the side of the car, making a gaping hole in it. Out of the hole came a huge robotic bird with a clock for a head."Wow! That really gives new meaning to the term "time flies"."Sonic gasped."Uh, Tails? Could you send the Tornado in?"

"Will do, Sonic!" Tails answered over the transceiver. The blue biplane came to pick up the two hedgehogs. They pursued the new robot menace."By the way, I made an adaptor to use the Engine Cores. Put one in and see what happens."

"Good ol' Tails." Sonic complimented."You always get us out of a pinch. You're a pal." He inserted the green Engine Core, and the Tornado started firing green energy bolts. Sonic charged the blast, and it knocked the bird's armour off. The clock on its head started spinning, and the robot turned red. It retaliated with black slicing attacks, which caused the tornado to overheat.

"Dang!" Sonic shouted."Tails, I don't suppose you have any ideas…"

"Don't worry, Sonic. I've got this." Tails pushed a button on his Miles Electric, and the Tornado's wings changed to resemble those of an eagle.

"Boy, wouldn't Jet love to see this thing."Sonic commented. The Now larger Tornado spun around, and the bladed wings hit the robotic bird. Shadow then decide to do something gutsy. He jumped out of the plane, charged Chaos energy into his leg, and thrust it forward into the robotic beast, destroying its shell. After the bird had fallen, Sonic jumped out of the plane onto the mountain and ran down it, catching the Engine Core.

"Wow!" Sonic let out a satisfied breath."That was exhilarating! You should've tried that!" His heart was beating at a fantastic rate. This was the energy he loved, and a split second later, he and Shadow were back at the campout.

This might just be the most action chapter to date. Please give me a review telling me which one you liked the most. And that guy with the review about Shadow, I'm giving Shadow funny lines because I don't think of him as all dark and cold; I think he has a nice side, and a sense of humour, contrary to popular belief. I just think that Shadow needs to smile more, that's why I make him smile in my fanfic. Well, see ya later, everbloody!
