Mobotropolis, Hospital

Rouge was lying on the bed, sleeping. Shadow was standing besides her. Sonic and Sally walked up.

"Is… is she… ok?" Sally asked.

"The bullet only hit her wing," Shadow said. "She'll recover."

"That's good." Sonic said.

"But, when whoever wanted her dead finds out she's alive," Shadow said. "They will attack again!"

"Why would anyone want to kill Rouge?" Sally asked.

"When Rouge was doing some flying, she found something interesting," Shadow explained. "It was the remains of the Egg Heart, along with the Egg Mobile, but Robotnik was nowhere to be seen! Rouge hasn't had the time to tell us where the machines were, but she must of been seen by an Egg Boss or Egg Soldier."

"So Eggman could still be alive?" Sonic said.

"Yes," Shadow said. "Omega connected to the Eggnet and it seems that none of the Egg Bosses have found him yet, meaning he's stranded with no food, water or weapons. If we find him, we can finish him off and completely end the Egg Army!"

"But Dimitri will still lead the Egg Army, albeit, under the name Dark Legion!" Sally said.

"If one two echidnas can defeat the Dark Legion on Angel Island, then GUN can end the Dark Legion!" Shadow said, walking out.

Outside the Hospital

Silver and Gold were hiding behind a tree, watching Shadow exit the building. Silver wrote on a piece of paper.

"Are you sure this will work?" Gold asked. "Aren't we changing the past by not working with Dark Legion?"

"I've come to realize that you can't change the past." Silver said. "Everything we do, won't change anything. The world's destined to be destroyed and we're destined to betray the Dark Legion and help the others!"

"Nothing is destined, Silver," Gold told Silver, through telepathy. "If things are destined, give me some examples."

"Ok," Silver said, carrying on writing. "It is destined that the grass is green, it is destined we shall all die one day and it is destined that Blaze and I will very happy together…" Silver's face went bright red. Gold laughed.

"Aww… Silver has a crush!" Gold laughed.

"Shut up," Silver said, still red. He turned the letter into a paper airplane and threw it at Shadow. "We need to get back to Blaze." Silver ran off. Gold followed.

"Just so you can look at her beautiful face, again?" Gold teased.

Shadow saw the plane and grabbed it. He opened it up and read the note.

"There is a secret entrance round back of Sky Sanctuary Zone, if you want to surprize the Dark Legion," Shadow read out. "Also, the Egg Heart is just north of Soumerca." Shadow looked around to see who threw the note but couldn't see anyone.

Behind Casino Night Zone

Tails climbed out of the bin where he was left. He was covered in dirt and rubbish, along with blood and bruises. He saw two shadows. One of female Mobian, other a big bucky make Mobian. He couldn't make out who they were or what race. Tails sneaked up to them. It was Clove and Axel.

"We're doing this one together!" Clove said, getting in the Egg Monster. "We need to capture the two rogue Kommissars and hand them over to Lien-Da so she can torture them!"

Castle Acorn

Naugus and St. John were speaking to the King and Elias about the other world problem.

"I was merely doing my magic, when suddenly, a portal from two other worlds opens up and out comes the leaders of both of them!" Naugus lied.

"I was there, mate," St. John added. "I saw the whole thing!"

"Then it appears that both worlds seem to want to start a war with us!" the King said.

"Father, that is not such a good idea…" Elias said.

"Silence, my boy!" the King yelled. "I shall order my guard to arrest a purple cat with can create fire and a hedgehog who looks like Sonic only green!"

"Wonderful choice, sire!" Naugus laughed, walking out with St. John. They started talking when they knew they couldn't be seen.

"Did the king seem… not himself, today?" St John asked. "Or was it just me?"
"Don't know why you'd think that," Naugus laughed. "It's not like I used my magic to manipulate his mind or anything." St John laughed with him. Unknow to all of them, Blaze watched the whole talk with the king through the window.

Mobotropolis Park

Sonic decided to try again to confess his love with Sally.

"Sally, when I'm with you, I feel faster, stronger and as if anything is possible!" Sonic said. "There's just one thing I've really wanted to get off my chest and this is…" Suddenly, he was hit by a green blur! It was Scourge.

"You again?" Sally yelled, getting her ring blades. Bombs flew from above, with Bean jumping down from a tree. Bark jumped out of a bush and grabbed Sonic's legs, holding the blue hedgehog upside down. Fiona kicked Sally from behind, making her fall.

"Just hanging out, blue?" Scourge laughed. "Hope you don't mind if we interrupt!"
