I do not own Sonic

The next day

After finishing The Tornado, Casey jumped on one of the plane's wings, while Tails was starting it up.

"Be careful out there, you 2," Grey said.

"We will," Tails said with a look of determanation.

Turning on the plane, it studder abit before cranking on. Casey grabbed on tight while Tails flew it out of the garage they were in. Lily sighed before closing the door to the garage, preying that Tails and Casey would stay safe.

Tails promised Lily he would come back to visit, after Shadow and Sonic was saved. Lily intended to see the yellow fox again.

But that's besides the point.

This time, Tails flew to the top of the Egg Carrier, and aloud Casey to jump off his plane. He qucikly left to fly around the Egg Carrier, letting Casey run in there alone.

Casey had to say, it was HUGE! Not to mention she had to be sneaky since, for God knows why, the alarms didn't go off. Eventually, she found the room Shadow and Sonic were in. Unfountally, she needed a key, which was a password. Fountally, she knew the password.

Casey approched the typing thing and typed in: Eggman is the smartest being in the universe.

If he's so smart, than why does Sonic beat him all the time? Casey thought bitterly.

"Passcode accepted. Welcome, Dr. Eggman," the machine chimed. Casey rolled her eyes at the machine, than looked over at Sonic and Shadow and smiled.

"It took me quite awhile, but I'm finally getting you 2 out of there," she said before turning her attechion to the screen, seeing there was alot of prisoners. Most of them were failed Metal Sonic upgrades, so she disregard them and unlocked Sonic and Shadow's cells. But...

"INTRUDER ALERT! INTRUDER ALERT! GETTING READY TO SELF-DESTRUCT IN T-MINUS 5 MINUTES!" a blazing alerm screamed.

Oh, sure, NOW it activated!

"Sonic, Shadow! Go!" Casey the hedgehog exclaimed.

"What about you?" Sonic asked

"I have some business to do with Dark! I'll meet you outside!" Casey exclaimed. "NOW GO!"

The 2 knew it was no use to try to bother with her, so they started running/skating to get out before the Egg Carrier explodes...for the billionth time. Casey stretched abit before she started to run off in the other direction of Sonic and Shadow. She could hear Eggman going 'NO! MY PLANS ARE RUINED AGAIN!', but she didn't care. She had to find Dark!

With Sonic and Shadow

The 2 hedgehogs ran to the top of the ticking time bomb. Shadow heard what sounded like a plane and walked to the edge, seeing The Tornado come up. The 2 hedgehogs hopped on the wings and waited for Tails to fly the plane away.

As Tails made the plane fly away, Tails asked: "Where's Casey?"

"..."

"...She's still in there..." Shadow went quietly.

"Shadow!" Sonic exclaimed.

Tails looked back at his friends with a shocked expression.

"What? How could you 2 let her stay in there?" Tails asked.

"Well...she said she had some business with Dark, and knowing how stubborn she is, we letted her," Shadow stated plainly.

Tails was probably the only one who hadn't met or seen Dark yet, but he knew something was wrong if Casey was going after this thing.

Inside the Egg Carrier

"4 minutes, get out now," the alarm went.

Casey rolled her eyes at the alarm.

"Not until I get down to finding Dark!" She went as she rolled into a ball to spin dash.

Luckily, she found the room Dark was in with ease. The spin dash she used broke down the door. Casey got out of the spin dashed and looked at Dark.

"Hey, Darky! How about we dance!" Casey said as she did a pose.

Dark smirked, then disappeared. She reappeared behind Casey and kicked her into the ground.

"It'll be my pleasure!" Dark went.

"3 minutes till destruction, get out now!"

The 2 hedgehogs ran at each other, punching the other in the face.

"OW!" Casey screamed but saw Dark didn't seem affected. Dark grabbed Casey by the throat, then she throw the chocking red hedgehog at the wall. Dark smirked before summoning 7 black emeralds.

Casey looked at the now even blacker with no eyes hedgehog in terror before recalling that she could go in super mode. The red hedgehog got up and called forth the 7 chaos emeralds, which appeared out of nowhere. The red hedgehog closed her eyes, letting the power of the emeralds go through her being, changing her fur to a golden color. When she opened her brown eyes, they were red as she was hovering over the ground, an expression of determanation on her face.

The black hedgehog smirked at Casey, which sent shivers down Casey's back.

"So I see you can use super mode," the black hedgehog said plainly, not caring about how much stronger her rival has gotten. "But that won't be enough."

However, the ship exploded, the remaining time to excape reached zero. However, since the 2 were in super mode ( or in Dark's case, dark mode ), the 2 were unharmed.

Off in the distance, Tails saw the 2 hedgehogs flying. He smiled at the thought that Casey was safe, but also had a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

The 2 hedgehogs were about to fight for real.

Dark rolled up into a ball, then blasted off, hitting Casey hard at the stomach/chest area. The spikes on Dark went Casey's fur/skin, eventually making her bleed. And during this, the golden hedgehog screamed in pain.

Eventually, the black hedgehog jumped back, having a teasing smirk on her face. Casey death glared at the black hedgehog, before summoning spares, which she threw at the black hedgehog. The black hedgehog dodged the attack, before doing the same thing Casey did not 5 seconds ago.

The golden hedgehog dodged the attack, then spin dashed straigh into Dark. Dark's emeralds came out, returning Dark to normal, and as such, Dark couldn't sly anymore.

"CRUD!" The black hedgehog sreamed before falling to her doom.

Casey frowned as she watched Dark fall before deciding to fly after her, saving her by catching the black hedgehog in her arms. The golden hedgehog flew to the ground, placing Dark down.

Dark gave the golden hedgehog a frown, before asking: "Why did you save me?"

"Because no one deserves to die," Casey replied before looking to the side from the sound of a plane's engine getting closer to them.

The Tornado was landing, and when it finished landing, Shadow and Sonic jumped off, then ran to see if Casey was alright. Dark frowned before walking away, vowing to get revange on the golden, whom was normally red, hedgehog.


Me: I'm actually really happy with how this chapter ended up. * smiles *
