Chemical Plant
"Oh June. You should be more calm about these things." Knuckles said.
"I won't let Robotnik get away with this! I'm not taking revenge for my father, I'm taking revenge for Angel Island!" June yelled.
Knuckles sighed and watched June aggressively steer the wheel.
"Let's get out of Chemical Plant, then we'll make it to Prison Island." she said.
"We should have got help from Sonic first before attacking Robotnik. Why did you do this June?" Knuckles asked.
"We haven't got time to go back to Green Hills. And even put that aside, I'm not going to rely on anybody!" June shouted.
"Yeah... Of course not." he said.
Green Hills
"I'm gonna go for a dash, be back in a flash!" Sonic exclaimed.
"Alright Sonic. See you in a bit! I'm gonna modify the Tornado, is that alright?" Tails asked.
"Sure thing buddy! Just don't break it." Sonic said.
Tails nodded his head. Then, Amy ran towards Sonic before he left.
"Sonic! May I come with you?" Amy asked.
"Sorry Amy, I wanted to go for a sprint on my own. But maybe you can stay back with Tails instead." Sonic replied.
"Hmm..." Amy wondered.
Sonic sprints away and swiftly dashes around the loop-de-loops. Without Sonic knowing, Amy followed behind him and tried her best to keep up. Sonic didn't look back, and he still didn't notice Amy.
Amy was soon so tired of chasing Sonic, she slipped up and fell on her face. Sonic heard a girl behind him gasp, so he turned back the other way. When he saw that it was Amy, he shook his head and rolled his eyes. Then, he grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up.
"Thank you Sonic." She said.
"You! Stop following me! You're ruining my freedom!" Sonic replied angrily.
Amy tried to make Sonic feel sorry for her by showing her 'upset' face to him. Yet again, Sonic shook his head, and then he ran.
"Oh. Why does this have to hurt so bad?" Amy asked herself.
Prison Island
"RoBUTTnik!" June bursted with anger.
"You again?! What do you want now?!" Robotnik asked in an annoyed tone.
"Revenge, I want REVENGE!" She replied.
Knuckles sighed at June, remembering that this was probably a bad idea.
June went right in to attack. She was going to run straight to Robotnik, but then, Robotnik unleashed numerous robots inside of his base.
Knuckles said, "Oh no."
June continued, and attempted to destroy the robots. She uses her pistol to shoot down the ones in front of her, but shortly after, she was grabbed from behind by a swatbot.
"June!" Knuckles yelled.
Knuckles attacked some swatbots thinking that would protect June. The swatbot ran away with June and took her to the top floor. Knuckles turned around and saw that June was gone.
"June!!!" he shouted.
"It's too late Knucklehead. Game over." Robotnik said.
"First you took the Master Emerald, then you burned down our whole island, and if that wasn't enough; now you've abducted my best friend!" Knuckles shouted.
"Well that's the price you pay for teaming up with that pest called Sonic and betraying Robotnik!" he yelled.
Knuckles growled and tried to run up the steps but swatbots were guarding it. Knuckles only had one choice; and that was to go to Green Hills.
"There's nothing left anymore. I'm all on my own. I'll have to get help from Aleena." Knuckles said.
Green Hills
"Hey Sonic!" Knuckles shouted. But there was no response.
"HEY SONIC!" He yelled again.
Sonic skidded after running slightly to far. He ran back the other way to see what it was that Knuckles wanted.
"What's the prob' Knux?" asked Sonic.
"Where's Aleena? This is really important." Knuckles tries to barge through.
"W-w-wait. Let me just stop you right there. So... when there's an important issue that needs to be handled, you go to my mom about that?! When I'm the one busting Buttnik's badniks and stopping him from terrorizing the planet?! I don't think so! If you've got a problem; you say it to me." Sonic stated.
"I haven't got time for this. Outta my way!" Knuckled yelled.
Knuckles pushed passed Sonic in search for Aleena. Then, he stumbles across Tails.
"Oi you! Little guy! Do you happen to know where Aleena is? I'm desperately in need of assistance right now..." Knuckles asked.
"Uh, I'm kinda busy at the moment but... I'm sure Sonic'll be able to help you out!" said Tails.
Knuckles growled aggressively.
"I'm sorry." Tails replied.
Knuckles headed back the other way but he was unable to spot Sonic anywhere. It seemed Sonic had disappeared. But in a flash, Sonic returned, and with his mother Aleena.
"I'm sorry about that Knuckles. I had important duties to attend to." Aleena said.
"That's okay. But that maniac Robotnik has got a hold of June. He has her captured in his base!" Knuckles screamed.
Sonic says, "...Okay so... Why couldn't you just tell me that?"
"You're getting on my last nerve Sonic! Just shut up, alright?! Is that too much to ask?!" Knuckles shouted.
"Stop it! Enough! Look, now is not the time to argue. You boys better get out there and rescue June. You know the evil deeds of Dr. Robotnik; do you think he'd have mercy on her? Now get a move on! Hurry!" Aleena said sternly.
Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other and sighed in disappointment. However, they both proceeded and began to take action.
Prison Island
Meanwhile, Maria was still irritated by Shadow's behavior.
"I just can't comprehend it. Why would you do such a thing?" Maria asked sadly.
"Do what?" Shadow replied.
"How could you be the one to kill my father? I thought we were such close friends Shadow..."
"And I thought you said you didn't like the things Gerald Robotnik was doing..."
"So you thought killing him would fix the problem?! There's still Dr. Ivo Robotnik; are you going to kill him too?!"
"Maybe..." Shadow shrugs his 'shoulders'.
"Look Shadow, there's a difference between killing somebody and ending an evil scheme. You have to understand this otherwise you'll end up doing things that you will later regret." she said.
"What. So wanting to kill a useless blue hedgehog is an 'evil scheme'? I don't really understand what's so evil about that."
"It's not about Sonic. Dr. Robotnik wants World Domination! Why are you acting as if you are unaware?"
Shadow grunted, "Hmph. So what do you want me to do then?"
"I want you to assist Sonic in defeating Robotnik."
Shadow laughs, "Mm, is this a joke?! You know I don't like cooperating with pitiful fools. I prefer to stay alone."
"No Shadow! Do as I say! Perhaps if you two work together, it'll be easier to defeat Robotnik."
"Fine. Leave the rest to me. But... One thing before I set off; what's your definition of 'defeat'?" he asked.
"Not to kill, but to discipline. Teach him how to do the right thing. He should use his skills in an alternative way, not for World Domination." Maria replied.
"Well I may not be the best of teachers but sure I can boil some egg!"
Shadow took a key from the sill and opened a small window.
"What are you doing?!" Maria exclaimed.
"Jumping out of the window, what else would I be doing?" Shadow said casually.
Shadow jumped out from the window as Maria gasped dramatically. After she heard a 'thump' she gasped again. That was the sound of Robotnik's robots getting close to her room. She swiftly ran across the small room and hid under her bed. The robots entered the room and began to search for her.
One badnik said, "Come out, come out wherever you are, you worthless human!"
Another badnik yelled, "Don't think we don't know what slimy business you're up to! Dr. Robotnik has his cameras everywhere! Have you influenced Shadow to make a sneaky escape?! I hope not!!"
Maria's heart was beating quickly. She thought she had no chance to escape.
"Perhaps she's hiding in the closet." the badnik said.
The four badniks went to the closet and searched for her thoroughly. It seemed Maria's chance to break through was now. Whilst the badniks senselessly ravaged through the closet, Maria quietly got across the room without being seen. She took a few breaths but it seemed she did not even have enough time for that; because to her surprise, Robotnik was standing right in front of her.
"YOU!" Robotnik shouted agressively. "Well, well, what do we have here?!"
"... Dr. Robotnik..." She said hesitantly.
"What? Are you going to act all innocent, or are you going to own up to your fishy behavior?!" he exclaimed.
"I... I..."
"Why did Shadow want to escape? You're a part of this, aren't you? You're the one influencing Shadow to do all these ridiculous acts, isn't that right... MarIA???"
"Well..."
"Shut it! I don't want to hear your story. I already know what I'm going to do with you. Badniks! Take her to her room, AND LOCK THE DOOR!!! And yes; you can eat the key."
A badnik exclaimed, "With pleasure, my boiled highness."
Another badnik replied, "Haaa. You're really cracking the yolks out of this one."
Robotnik interrupted, "If you don't get on with it now, I don't know whether I'll fry or scramble your brains... the very few that you have."
The badniks immediately take Maria to her room, lock the door behind them and eat the keys.
"Mmmm. Tasty." A badnik said. "Haven't had a snack that good since I ate Robotnik's glasses last month."
"Crunchy too."
Robotnik shouted aloud, "And you can remain in your room forever. The last thing I need is nuisance like you ruining my plans! I couldn't care one bit if you starved to death!"
GREEN HILLS
"No way!" Knuckles shouted, annoyed.
"What? Did you think you could beat me in a race?!" Tails exclaimed. "I learned from the best!"
Sonic interjects, "Who taught you?"
"Uh... You did!" Tails said awkwardly.
Sonic scratches his head and says, "Funny. I don't remember that."
Shadow intrudes their conversation.
"I've had it. You infants have bored me long enough with your nonsensical chatter!"
"What infants?" Knuckles asked curiously.
"I believe he was referring to us, Knuckles." Sonic replied. "What I'd like to know is; where did this creep come from?!"
"Listen. I'm not here to loiter around. We have an egg to boil..." Shadow said.
"Oh! So you're on our side now? Somebody must've talked some sense into you!" Sonic exclaimed excitedly.
Knuckles yelled, "Alright! Let's go then!"
"Alright Shadow. I'll race you to the finish line. Don't cry when you lose!" Sonic shouted.
Shadow replied, "Hmph. Don't make me laugh."
Tails awkwardly added, "Actually... I've never seen you laugh before..."
Sonic and Shadow raced each other through Green Hills and dashed round the loops. They then both headed different ways as the planned to ensnare Robotnik at Prison Island.
Prison Island
Maria spoke to herself, "This can't be! I hope that Shadow is following my instructions, otherwise, I am doomed! No... There must be some other kind of hope... First, how can I escape?" She gasps, "The window!" she said happily recalling Shadow's rather absurd idea.
Maria took the key and opened the window. She was very hesitant to jump out but she eventually did it. She jumped whilst her eyes were closed. Fortunately, Sonic had arrived at Prison Island, and caught her.
He put her down and asked curiously, "Easy there pal! You must be out of your mind to jump out of a window! Who taught you that?!"
Maria just laughed and then directed Sonic to the central chamber. Sonic sprinted over there before even thinking.
"So this is where you manufacture your robots?! I'll have to thank that young lady a thousand times for showing me the way in!" Sonic exclaimed.
"MARIA!!!" Robotnik shouted angrily. "You won't get away with this!"
Robotnik ordered his badniks to attack Sonic. It appeared Sonic had a lot to handle. He jumped from wall to wall, and bounced off each badnik. He swiftly ran across and dashed into Robotnik, knocking him over.
Shadow had also arrived. Whilst Sonic was handling Robotnik and the badniks, Shadow went to Maria's room to rescue her. He took her hand and skated instantly.
But for Sonic, things weren't going too well. Each time Sonic would defeat a bunch of badniks, another set would come. All these distractions for Sonic allowed Robotnik to make his way to the Generating Station. However, Robotnik was more afraid than Sonic was despite not having hundreds of badniks chasing him. He was lost, and didn't know what to do. As the badniks were coming, Sonic was destroying each one. Soon there would be none left.
Eventually, Sonic ran towards Robotnik and curled into a ball. Robotnik was more afraid than he had ever been. All he could see was his creations dead on the floor. At this point it seemed that he was hopeless. He prepared for a huge escape. Robotnik quickly pressed the 'self-destruct' button and hopped into his mini mobile. He got out from there immediately. The timer on the bomb had started to count down. "9... 8... 7..."
A confused Sonic said, "Huh? Did he really just do that?!"
Sonic very rapidly ran out from the Generating Station, through the Central Chamber and out of the base. Unfortunately, Shadow and Maria were unaware that the base was about to self-destruct. When the explosion happened, Shadow was able to survive it, however, Maria did not.
"Maria?!" Shadow asked. "Maria?" Shadow asked again.
THE END.
