Shadow was in his room, lying on his bed. He was starting to get nervous. G.U.N. said they would find where Rouge was in no time. It has been 2 weeks. Things were going through his head of what could be happening to Rouge right now. He was so stuck in his thoughts that he jumped a little when he heard G.U.N. call.
"Hello? What? Have you found her yet? Tell me!" Shadow shouted.
"Calm down, Shadow," the agent told him, "We need you and Omega to come down here, A.S.A.P." Then, the agent hung up. Shadow ran downstairs to Omega. He told him and they both went to the G.U.N. Base.
~G.U.N. Base~
"Eggman, answer." The Commander said. After that, a picture appeared on-screen and Eggman was there.
"Hello, Shadow and Omega. As you know, I have your little Rouge and-"
"Where is she? Tell me, now Eggman!" Shadow shouted/
"Hold on, Shadow. She's just over there." Eggman then pointed to the back where Rouge was shackled to a wall, clearly knocked out.
"Let her go you bastard!"
"Calm down! I will let her go, on one condition. You bring me all 7 Chaos Emeralds. If you don't show up or bring the Emeralds, Rouge will burn in hot magma. Here is the location of my base. Only Shadow and Omega come, NO ONE ELSE!" Then, the screen went blank.
"What do we do, sir?" an agent asked.
"Rouge, is our agent and Shadow and Omega's best friend. She will not die. We'll have to bring the Chaos Emeralds to Eggman."
"But, sir-"
"No, buts. Besides, that is my opinion. But, Shadow and Omega make the choice. Agents? What will it be?" Omega and Shadow stared at the Commander, and it was clear what their decision was. "Alright then. Agent James, bring the other 5 Chaos Emeralds to Shadow. Now you two, this will be tough. We looked at the location and it's in the jungle. Eggman also never told the exact location of his, but we at least know which jungle. It's in Tropical Jungle, and it's near a small town where a guy knows some information. Just ask the man with a brown hat in front of the coffee shop. Good luck."
The agent gave Shadow and Omega the Chaos Emeralds right before they left. Then they headed for Tropical Jungle.
~Tropical Jungle~
Shadow and Omega were searching all over the jungle and couldn't find the village. They looked at the map about 20 times. Eventually, someone snapped.
"This useless piece of paper is getting us nowhere! I can't take it. I will destroy this entire ecosystem if I had to!" Omega shouted. He pulled out the flamethrowers and was about to burn it to the ground until Shadow stopped him.
"We finally found it." Shadow told the robot. The small town had a few buildings in it, one that was a coffee shop. There, in front of it, was the man with the brown hat. Shadow and Omega walked to him and then he spoke.
"Shadow and Omega?" the man asked. The black hedgehog and the robot nodded, "Go speak to the owner of that club over there and you'll learn what you need to know." Then, the man walked off. The place he pointed to was a club called Club of the Amazons. There was a huge line, but Shadow and Omega just cut in front when the next guy went in. Then, the bouncer, who was a lion with a tag that said 'Leon' spoke.
"Back of the line. No cuts."
"We'd like to speak to the owner of this place."
"Ok. But, first get in line."
"If you don't let us in, I'll send your head to the back of the line." Right before it seemed like a brawl would start, someone noticed who they were.
"Hey, that's Shadow and Omega!" Someone called out. Everybody noticed and everybody was excited. Leon looked embarrassed.
"I thought you looked familiar. Sorry, come in." Everybody in the club was dancing to the music. Then, they saw those 2. Whispers could be heard in the room as Shadow and Omega went to the back. They entered the back room, and before Leon closed the door he shouted, "Nothing to see here. Go back to being crazy." The party people followed his orders.
"No you listen to me. You said the investment would triple what I put in…I put in $1.2 million!" A dragon was shouting these things over the phone, and it was obvious he was angry, "Alright then. Whenever I lose, the opponent loses too!" Then, he hung up. "Stupid son of a-"
"Excuse me Sharp," Leon said, "We have some visitors."
"Sorry, Leon. Woah! Shadow the Hedgehog and E-123 Omega in my club! I can't believe it! It's so awesome to meet you two. I'm Sharp the Dragon and I see you met Leon the Lion. What brings you here?"
"We heard you might help us. Do you know where Eggman's base is?" Shadow asked the dragon.
"I might. Why do you need to know?"
"He kidnapped our friend Rouge."
"Woah! Hold on! White bat, big breasts, fine ass'n'body?" The dragon then looked up and smiled
"Yes, and she's my girlfriend…"
"…You know you should take what I just said as a compliment."
"I need to know where Eggman's base is so I can get her back!"
"Chill, dude, chill! I know where his base is. I can get a guy to take you there. His name is Camouflage the Hedgehog, but everybody calls him Camo. I'll call him up right now to get you. How does that sound?"
"This is what we needed. Thank you for the information." Omega said.
"Anytime, I'll call him up, he'll be in a helicopter. Leon, lead 'em out." Leon took Shadow and Omega out of the club and then a helicopter came down with a green hedgehog flying it.
"This is Camo the Hedgehog here to pick up Shadow and Omega." The green hedgehog said. Shadow and Omega climbed in and the helicopter flew over the town. Shadow and Omega were looking down at the ground and were silent until Camo spoke.
"So, I here you're going to Eggman's base to pick you're fine bat friend."
"Yeah. She's now my girlfriend."
"So, now you're that kind of partners. I knew it would happen. I wish I was you." Shadow had a clearly annoyed expression on his face, but he still spoke.
"You should wish to be me. She is the smartest, most beautiful woman ever."
"We are approaching the base," Omega spoke, "Are you ready, Shadow?"
"Let's do this." After the helicopter was where they wanted it, Shadow and Omega jumped out and destroyed the robots guarding the base. They ran in and tripped some security lasers, making a red light shine and a siren go off.
"Intruder alert! Intruder alert!" was heard through all the rooms as Shadow and Omega destroyed robot after robot, moving through the base, searching for Rouge. After finally reaching the end of the base, they saw Rouge shackled to the wall and ran up to her.
"Rouge!" Shadow shouted as he saw her. Rouge shouted Shadow's name when she saw him. Omega broke the shackles and Rouge hugged both of her friends, keeping a long time on it. After they were done, they ran to the door, but it shut closed right when they came near.
"You think you can just escape!" Eggman said as he appeared in his ship. After he spoke, robots fell from the sky, blocking the 3 in all ways. "It's not going to be that easy. Hand me the Chaos Emeralds now, and might let you go!" When he was done speaking, Shadow jumped and hit the nearest robot. When he did, the power was so strong, the robot slammed on another and exploded, along with every other robot in a chain reaction.
"That's my answer to you, Doctor!" Shadow said.
"Ok. You want to play the other game then!" As Eggman said that, the base lifted in the sky and turned into an air ship. Another ship was added to the base and Eggman entered it. When Team Dark followed him more robots showed up. They started shooting at them, but it was useless. Shadow sent Chaos Spheres down at the robots, Rouge kicked at and destroyed every robot she fought, and Omega shot them down. When more came, Rouge and Omega fought them off while Shadow entered the room Eggman entered. He saw Eggman with a strange device, and Shadow could see the percent signs going up.
"Eggman!" Shadow shouted at him.
"Huh! Shadow! Give me the emeralds!"
"How about I give you this!" Shadow then jumped and kicked at Eggman, hitting him right in the face. Eggman then saw the Emeralds with Shadow and grabbed them, with Shadow keeping them with them. Neither of them knew that the device's percent rates were over 100%. Then, Shadow and Eggman dropped the Emeralds and the percent signs skyrocketed. After that, it started to malfunction, and then, there was nothing but white.
Author's note: As stated in the first chapter, I only own my OCs (Sharp the Dragon, Leon the Lion, Camo the Hedgehog, ect.). Hope you enjoyed this chapter!
