As they left the Eclipse Cannon Control Room, Maria smiled, "Time to go see your favorite reptile!"

"What is it with you and attracting highly dangerous experiments to yourself?" Shadow asked, exasperated.

"Look who's talking Mister Ultimate Weapon," Jacob smirked.

"Ultimate Lifeform!"

"Whatever you say," Evan grinned as they reached where the Biolizard was kept.

Maria peered into the window, "That's strange. I don't see anything."

"Alright then now that we know that we weren't missing anything, let's go back to my room and get something to eat," said Shadow as he turned to walk away.

"Not so fast Ultimate Scaredy Cat. Since he's your prototype you have the job of checking up on him. We have no idea what he could be doing in there," Evan replied, grabbing Shadow and pushing him toward the door.

"My little brother? He's a giant red and black mutant with a horrible personality," exclaimed Shadow, turning away.

"Seriously have you seen your reflection lately?" Evan asked.

"Fine I'll go check on that blasted thing. I'll be back," and this time he turned towards the door to walk in.

"Who said anything about going alone? I'm not gonna miss a bit of this," said Evan.

"Me too. We wouldn't miss it for the world," Maria exclaimed.

"Fine, follow me then," Shadow sighed while looking at the ceiling with a what-did-I-get-myself-into look He typed in the password on the keypad and watched grimly as the door unlocked and slid open. They all timidly stepped inside expecting, expecting the giant lizard to surprise them at any moment. Evan looked up at the ceiling, where a hug cluster of air sacks hung.

"What are those?" he asked, with a look of disgust on his face.

"That's the Biolizard's life support system, or lungs," Maria replied casually, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

While they were talking, Shadow was staring wide-eyed at the giant pedestal at the middle of the room, surrounded by seven smaller pedestals, with a giant green gem on one of them.

"There's a Chaos Emerald over there!" he murmured quietly, but Maria had heard him.

"A Chaos Emerald? But grandfather said we didn't have any on board."

"I know," Shadow started walking toward it, when out of nowhere a giant red and black lizard wearing a device on its back with tubes connecting it to its mouth and the lungs above jumps down from nowhere, and roars in a loud, rumbling voice.

"He finally decides to come out now?" asked Shadow through gritted teeth. He ran straight for the Chaos Emerald at breakneck speed and jumped up to grab it. As he caught it he yelled, "Chaos Control!" and disappeared as he was descending.

"Where'd he go?" asked Maria.

"Shh…Thi ih the bet art," replied Evan, who was stuffing popcorn into his already full mouth.

"Where'd you get that from," asked Maria curiously.

"We pahed by a bending mahine on the way here," replied Evan proudly, "Want hom?"

Maria looked at his overstuffed mouth, "No thanks."

Evan shrugged and continued eating his popcorn like it was going out of style.

At the fight in front of them, Shadow had just reappeared in front of the reptile and started toward it again. As he approached it he jumped up and yelled, "Chaos Spear!" A yellow beam of light erupted from his hand as he aimed and threw it at the Biolizard. Shadow hit it dead on in the back, and the Biolizard gave out an unearthly wail. As Shadow landed he spared no time and started toward the Biolizard again. This time the lizard was expecting him and as he jumped up to attack it knocked him down. As he skidded to a halt 20 feet away Shadow looked up to see the reptile's hulking body coming towards him. Shadow acted on impulse and grinded up one of the reptile's tubes. As he neared its back he rolled into a ball and aimed at the machine on its back yet again. As he hit it the lizard tried to knock him down with its massive tail. Shadow Chaos Controlled out of the way just in time and landed behind the lizard.

"You two get out of here! I'll keep him busy while you make a run for it," yelled Shadow.

"But Shadow…"

"Come on! You heard him! He is the one that can teleport remember?" Evan interrupted, taking hold of Maria by the wrist. They smiled at each other and dashed for the exit. They looked around for a keypad, but saw nothing. There wasn't even a manual handle on the door.

"We're trapped!" Maria exclaimed, panicking.

"Shadow, we could use a little help over here!" Evan yelled over Shadow, who was currently running up the lizard's tail to attack it once more.

Shadow looked over to them and, immediately recognizing the situation, bolted over to them, abandoning his assault on the Biolizard. As he got within contact of them he pulled them both into a huddle and yelled, "Chaos Control!"

In a flash of blinding light, they disappeared. Within seconds they reappeared inside Shadow's room, and fell down in exhaustion.

"Whew, talk about an adventure!" Maria exclaimed.

"Now that we have the Chaos Emerald in our possession, it was all worth it," Shadow replied, examining the emerald.

"Didn't you say that the seven Chaos Emeralds power the Eclipse Cannon?" Evan asked.

"Yes, and they also give me power as well. It is also said that they will perform a miracle for anyone who brings them all together. The professor always told me that when he finally got his hands on a Chaos Emerald he would show me exactly how to use it, but until then he simply taught me a few incantations."

But if he had one, why did he hide it from you? And of all the places to pick!" Maria replied, confusion on her face.

"I have no idea, but until I discover why I'm going to hide the Emerald in here in case I have to use it for an emergency."

"And you don't want to have to deal with the Biolizard again," Evan added, a grin on his face.

Shadow crossed his arms and rolled his eyes, "Can we just go down to the café to eat? Its past lunchtime, and I'm starving from all that combat."

"Good idea, I'll you guys!" shouted Maria, running out the door and taking off down the hall, Shadow and Evan at her heels.
