Well, it's been a year and i've completed a different story that hasn't been posted yet and I decided that this was going to need to be finished before it's incompleteness irritated me haha. Anyways, I hope you somewhat enjoy at least :)

It's going to take a while to upload new chapters since I need to write them around college/work/assignments/learning to drive etc but i'll be doing the best I can. My appreciation would be shown if you review :3

Happy New Year and DISCLAIMER!

Chapter 9: Fighting the Robot.

Roxxii and Shadow slowly got up out of the rubble from the wall.

"You ok?" Roxxii looked at Shadow as he said it, he looked at her and she nodded.

"Your still glowing!" he looked at his hands and smirked. He helped her out completely then observed the robot carefully, that's when he noticed it.

"The robots being powered by two Chaos Emeralds."

"Yeah and my powers, well my sister's powers."

"There has to be a break there always is. Wait what?" he looked at Roxxii and she simply tilted her head and smiled sweetly. Shadow glanced at the robots neck, then back to Roxxii's position. "You're brilliant." she smiled and hugged him, he pushed her away slightly then turned to face her. "Do me a favour."

"Sure."

"Get the girls out ok, the rest of us can deal now, do you understand?"

"But what about -"

"Don't worry, just trust me and get them out, you guys are hurt."

She simply nodded and followed her orders, as Shadow ran towards Sonic. She bent down to Knuckles who was by Rouge's side. "Knuxy i'll take her home." he nodded simply and stood up, Roxxii slowly helped Rouge up as Blaze rushed to help support her. "Could you call for the pink one, Shadow said we should leave it to the rest to them." Blaze nodded and called for Amy who soon followed them out of the building.

They stumbled for a while through the halls and outside, managing to make it back to Roxxii's place, Amy collapsed on the sofa leaving Roxxii and Blaze pulling Rouge up stairs. Roxxii pushed one of the doors open to reveal a double bed, bed-side tables, a vanity table and stool, TV and wardrobe. Blaze looked around in amazement as the purple and white room contrasted well with the silvery white furniture.

"You have a lovely place."

"Thanks." they placed Rouge on the bed lightly and Roxxii ran down stairs to the kitchen. She came back up with a first aid kit and some ice-packs. They fixed Rouge up as best as possible since she wasn't that bad, just a few scratches or so. Then left her in the room and went downstairs to tend to themselves.

Knuckles watched the girls leave then turned to join Sonic, Silver, Shadow and Tails.

Shadow spoke quickly and without hesitation. "Tails you and Knuckles distract the robot now." the two didn't question, they just did as told and aimed as Shadow continued. "The head, we need the robot to tilt it's head like Roxxii does, aim for the neck. It's powered by two Chaos Emeralds which is where you come in Silver, hopefully you can use your ESP and stop the energy flow, only for a second or two while Sonic hits the neck and I Chaos Blast the thing to hell."

"Wow Shadow, I didn't think you could use that many words all at once."

"DON'T MAKE ME WASTE THIS ON YOU. IT WILL PAY!" with that the two hedgehogs split from Shadow in fright. The five of them attempted to make the robot tilt it's head and successfully couldn't.

"What now?" Sonic shouted. Knuckles looked up at the robot then at the floor ranging it's height.

"Stand underneath it's head, so it looks down." Knuckles pointed to the area at the bottom of the robot. They nodded and attacked as planned, the robot tilted its head as Silver controlled the Chaos energy. Sonic spin dashed into the head taking it straight off and Shadow stood where the head was and performed Chaos Blast.

Tails threw Sonic a ring just to be sure and he spun straight through the neck and back out. The robot exploded and they watched victoriously. Shadow not so happy walked threateningly towards Eggman himself who was attempting to get back into his flight machine. Shadow grabbed Eggman and threw him – lighter than he would have – onto the floor, Eggman put his hands up in defence and looked mockingly at the hedgehog.

"Now, now Shadow, we don't want to be too hasty." Shadow smirked devilishly, his eyes glowing with rage. "Shadow come to reason, I was only -"

"Touch her or any of the girls again and I will kill you without thought." with that Shadow turned back to the group and walked past them not even looking back.

"Shadow, where's the others?"

"You'll have to find out, I just asked them to leave." they watched him power up his skates and leave, watching the faint yellow light fade away, and Eggman float into the horizon.

"So, uh... what now?" Silver watched the group turn to him at the question. Sonic picked up one of the Chaos Emeralds as Tails picked up the other.

"I'll call Roxxii." Knuckles lifted a mobile phone from his trouser pocket. "What?"

"You have a mobile!" Tails looked at Knuckles weirdly, Sonic tried to hold his laugh and Silver looked shocked by the purple and red object in Knuckles hands.

"It was a present from Roxxii... she said it ... matched my eye's." Sonic burst into laughter and Knuckles tried to push the tiny buttons with his massive hands.
