Shadow and Rouge had been going out for some time now and they have been the perfect couple. Rouge always treated Shadow to anything he needed and Shadow did the same. They truly love each other and nothing could change that.

~One day at G.U.N.'s base~

"Sir," one G.U.N. agent said to the Commander, "I have the plans you requested."

"Thank you. You're dismissed," Commander said to the agent, "Alright then. Team Dark. We have acquired plans for Eggman's newest robot." He then pulled out blueprints of a robot that seemed to resemble a spider with spikes on its back. "We believe it to have the abilities of shooting webs out and to drill underground. Your job is to find it-"

"And destroy it?" Rouge said.

"Exactly. We have found him to be hiding at this location. The door is password activated. Good luck."

"Got it. Shadow said as they left the room. Then, Rouge kissed him on the cheek.

"Kiss for good luck."

"As long as I have you, I have all the luck I need. Now, let's go."

~Eggman's new base~

Rouge entered the password and the doors opened. They quietly entered the base and noticed something strange.

"No security has appeared at all except for the code," Omega said.

"Yeah, and I think we're near the room this thing is kept," Shadow said, "In fact, here it is." They opened the door leading to the room, turned the lights on, and found that the robot was there.

"Woah!" Rouge exclaimed, "This thing is huge! Why would Eggman not have security here?" Suddenly, the lights turned off. Omega then used his night-vision and found someone.

"We're not alone. Someone is-" The lights turned on and revealed Eggman in the spider robot.

"Aw, the traitors again. It's so nice to see you." Eggman told them.

"Eggman, why would you hide a robot and have no security after it?" Rouge questioned.

"Because, I knew you three would be here and I wanted to test my newest creation on you. Now, you shall be destroyed!" The spider then launched the spikes out of its back and they went after the three teammates. Shadow threw a Chaos Sphere at his, and it was destroyed. Omega grabbed his and threw it at the spider. Rouge kicked hers back and it hit the spider as well. But, they didn't even make a scratch.

"Ho ho ho! Didn't see that coming now, did you? My spider is made out of the strongest steel in Mobius! Nothing can penetrate it!" Omega then launched his missiles at the spider and it didn't do anything to the massive robot. The spider then launched more missiles at the team and they kept throwing them back, but they had no effect. The same routine had happened for what felt like 20 minutes. However, after Omega started shooting his weapons in the same place, a dent had formed in the spot. Rouge and Shadow started throwing theirs back in that spot as well. After some more time, when Shadow threw a Chaos Sphere after a missile, a giant hole appeared in the chest. Shadow then crawled inside the chest. Then, he started ripping wires and sending Chaos Spheres all over the place, causing it to start malfunctioning.

"What? No! Work right you stupid machine!" Eggman shouted. Everyone then started to hear beeping. Eggman got into his ship while Shadow ran out of the robot. All of them got out of the base right before it exploded. A mechanic arm then grabbed Rouge from behind and lifted her to Eggman's ship.

"Shadow! Omega! Help me!" Rouge screamed. Omega started shooting at the ship, while Shadow used Chaos Control to appear in front of Eggman.

"Ah! Shadow!" Eggman shouted. Shadow then kicked Eggman in the head, making him fall out. Shadow released Rouge and then used the arms to grab Eggman. They then lowered to ground and Shadow released Eggman at about 1 foot near the ground. He fell with a big thud and when he looked up, he saw Omega right in front of him with Shadow and Rouge walking near. Eggman started to crawl away, with the three just coming near until Eggman slammed into a wall. He revealed to have a remote with him. He then pressed a button and another arm lunged out and tried to grab one of the three. They dodged and hit back, but the arm was made out of the same metal as the robot. It then grabbed Rouge and pulled back into the ship it came from fast enough that Shadow couldn't grab her. Earlier, Eggman had sneaked back into his ship and both had gotten so far away neither Omega nor Shadow could do anything about it. Shadow started crying as he and Omega just stood there and watched as Rouge was taken away.
