The two guards escorted Unlce Chuck to the prison, it began to rain heavily, the Old Hedgehog’s head hung low as his arms were gripped by two hawk talons. The main entrance had two hounds armed with rifles and their eyes obscured by black glasses. Chuck was taken into the cell block, there he was placed on a metal bench and a force field of pink was activated. The guards positioned themsleves on either side of the energy door.
Outside in the rain, a hedgehog stood in the shadows outside the lamps, rain drops rolling down its gnarled black and red spines, and black nose. His red eyes squinted at the two hound guards. The two guards exchanged some banter, “This weather is awful,” “Yeah, at least it makes us harder to find.” The two guards heard a snapping sound, like a twig. They turned and aimed their rifles. “What was that?” There was another snap and then the two hounds were knocked to the ground, Shadow kicking them from above with his white and red light shoes. The two guards were neautralized. The prison cell block doors opened, the two guards looked at each other. The Hawk approached the opening and was grabbed by a white glove and pulled into blackness. The final guard ained his rifle and prepared to fire, when suddenly a bent rifle flew at him and hit him in the head.
Uncle Chuck raised his head in the commotion. The energy field dropped and standing there was Shadow. “You made a promise Professor.” Chuck lowered his head, “It’s pointless.. I am beanded a traitor. My life’s work and all I have done to help our cause is now undone.” Shadow stepped into the cell block. “You promised me Maria. You will help me or you will die.” Uncle Chuck shook his head. “Death.. is of little concern to me now. I am an outcast.” Shadow’s patience for this self pity grew thin. “You said the Mecha knew where Maria’s DNA was held, does it possibly know other secrets of Eggman?” Chuck’s ears perked up, and he raised his head.”Yes! Of course! That could be my way to exonerate myself! To show the Princess my methods are for the good of Knothole.” Shadow clutched his fist. “Very well, lets retrieve the machine and head to Robotropolis.”
Metal Sonic had been aiezed by guards and shocked into a stasis state. He was back at the lab, where he was being examined by Rotor who had orders to terminate the assassin. Rotor read the computer screen, as cords fed info to the screen from Metal’s CPU. More hound guards stood outside the lab, work wolves were repairing the roof. Suddenly there was a boom and the main lab dood blew open. Hounds flew backwards, into debrs and wolves on the roof tottered over, hanging on for dear life. Emerging from the flames was Shadow, who walked up to Rotor and threw him agaunst the screen. Uncle Chuck ran into the room and removed the cords and activated Metal who looked at Chuck qnd smiled, “Uncle!” Chuck helped Metal to his feet. “Come.. we must go at once!” An alarm sounded as thw three hedgehog made their escape, heading deep into the woods.
