Sorry about the wait, i've had writers block and for the record it sucks – completely. Plus my college course is full of work but you know...

MUST READ: if you do want another story that involves Roxxii then there's one by mew mew pomegranate – I love you, wait, what did I just say!

AND I ALSO WANT TO WARN ALL MY READERS THAT I AM CHANGING MY NAME FROM "Roxxii the Hedgehog" TO "Obsession121" BY JANUARY 7TH.

DIACLAIMER: I don't own anyone but Roxxii.

Chapter 8: Losing the game.

Shadow watched helplessly, he noticed strange sparks and the glint of something that was oddly being taken out of Roxxii. He went to move forward but stopped as Sonic, Knuckles, Tails and the rest of the gang including Blaze blasted through Eggman's door.

"Shadow!" Sonic called to the not so interested hedgehog who just nodded his head.

"Looks like your a little late Sonic."

"Nice to see you too." the hedgehogs both aimed for the machine holding Roxxii, Shadow destroyed the Right side, Sonic the left, Knuckles went for Eggman destroying the control panel and turned to face what Sonic was now holding.

Knuckles gasped as he ran towards Sonic and Roxxii. "Roxxii, ROXXII!" Sonic looked at him with a 'you-know-her' look on his face. "What happened?"

"Your asking me, I just got here, ask Shadow." they both turned to the scene as the rest of the robots were destroyed leaving heaps of metal.

"No matter, I now have one last thing 'EGG-Battle319' destroy them!" Eggman pushed a button and and a giant robot, combined with armour and a hell of a lot of power rose from behind where Roxxii was. Sonic and Knuckles jumped down to the rest of the gang and watched as the robot stood to full size.

"Shadow what happened?" Knuckles turned to the black and red hedgehog glowing slightly red. He placed his rings back on his wrists and turned to Knuckles.

"The machine took something from her, but I don't know what." he growled ferociously. Roxxii squirmed slightly in Sonic's arms as she slowly woke and stared at the robot, he placed her on her feet supporting her waist.

"Hey, I remember you." she smiled as she looked at Sonic, then turned to Knuckles. "Knuxy, it's been too long. You know i'm slightly bored now and very hungry, can we finish this up and leave?"

"Fine with me." Shadow growled. He launched his body powerfully and forcefully forward, Roxxii stumbled slightly forward pushing Sonic away and going to attack the robot along side Shadow, she threw some bubbles in it's direction and watched Shadow - now glowing a brilliant red – chaos spear the thing continuously.

As they thudded to the ground Roxxii stumbled a bit but stood straight and gasped at the damage that didn't occur. She looked at Eggman who seemed angry then back at the robot. Sonic and Shadow ran up different sides trying to figure out a break in the armour, Rouge attempted a few spin kicks, as knuckles, Blaze and Amy pounded the thing. Tails grabbed a ring from his tails and threw it to Sonic who caught and attempted to use but failed.

They all stood back in amazement, as none of them made a single scratch. The robot opened it's arms and ejected missiles from them, lots of missiles. Everyone dodged in and out using agility to move from the explosions. Roxxii watched as everyone moved and put her hands up to freeze the incoming missiles.

But nothing...

They didn't freeze, she attempted again but Shadow knocked he out the way just as they hit the ground, Shadow glared at her, but she looked at him and waved her hand as if to slap him, but nothing. She stared at him horrified.

"What? why are you acting so -"

"I've lost them..." she whispered, Shadow leaned in to hear properly but still didn't understand, he looked at her puzzled. "Shadow i've lost my powers!" he stared at her and pulled her up into his arms again to move them out the way. He landed gently but again dodged the swinging arms of the robot, more missiles where let loose and Shadow turned for a second as Rouge got hit by an explosion only to get caught and thrown by the robot with Roxxii into the wall...

Authors note: I WONT BE FINISHING THIS STORY FOR A WHILE BECAUSE I'M MOVING ONTO OTHER PROJECTS. IT'S NOT BEING PUT ON HIATUS, IT'S JUST BEING POSTPONED UNTIL IT IS MORE OF A HIT.
