Chaos Control had brought him a deserted patch of land in the middle of an ocean. The only real thing populating the area was of the towering metal fortress that sat smack dab in the middle of what little room the ground had.

Air shoes splattered sand all around the dark hedgehog as they stomped heavily into the sandy textured ground. Onyx eyelids squinted at having direct sunlight fall upon him since he had nothing to shield him from it. This unamused look plagued the male’s face as he reached the large metal door of the tower.

As soon as he did that a floating metal video pod appeared before him. On the screen was of the mad man Shadow had come to see.

“Ah, Shadow, what brings you to my lovely abode?” Asked Robotnik with an excited tone to his voice.

The front door slid open for the life form allowing him entrance.

“I want answers!” Was the not-so-happy answer he gave him.

“What kind of answers?” The doctor asked being surprised this time.

Walking along with the pod that floated but only a couple of inches ahead, a sneer formed on a pale muzzle. “Don’t try to play innocent with me!” Growled the hedge-male with the ends of his quills bristling up. “I know of that little creation of yours that you’re tricking Rose with!” That growl exceeded into a yell at the second remark he made.

A heavy eyebrow was arched at the last bit of information. “Creation? What creation?”

“That mini-look-a-like bot of me with the green eyes.” Explained Shadow in a lower tone this time.

Walking up to another metal sliding door, it opened up just as the pod had flown away. On the other side revealing the heavy set villain lounging in a floating black leather chair.

Eggman leant over having a gloved hand held up to his mouth in a thoughtful observatory way. One long skinny leg folded over another one.

“What is this thing that you are accusing me of creating?” Is what he asked tapping free gloved fingers over and over against the arm rest of his chair.

This shocked expression came to Shadow’s face as he was halted in his tracks. “You mean… you’re not responsible for that faker?”

That round bald head of Robotnik’s shook in response. “I don’t even know what you are talking about.”

Now the Ultimate Life Form was frowning in uncertainty. Crimson orbs shifted uncontrollably in thought. “Then if you’re not a fault… Then who is?!”

“Are you going to tell me what is going on?” Bellowed the elder human male growing slightly annoyed now. “Or are you going to continue to stand there talking to yourself?” A small frown formed on fat lips. “You know how I hate to be left out like that… It’s rude, you know!” Was what he whined brushing out his brunette mustache with the thumb and index finger.

Shadow sighed as his eyes closed shut. A gloved hand was rising brushing back dark spines. “I was in Station Square when I caught Rose walking hand-in-hand with this thing that looked exactly like me, but with the same colored eyes are hers.” This grimaced expression formed on his muzzle as he continued. “The thing called her ‘mama’. Then when I tried to seize it, it attacked me with this attack it called ‘Chaos Bomb’.”

“I see…” Said the doctor in an intrigued manner. “And by ‘Rose’, I presume you’re talking about Amy Rose… Did the thing look metallic in any way?”

Ruby streaked quills swayed from side to side when he shook his head. “It looked real more than anything.” Black eyelids opened revealing ruby orbs. “I don’t enjoy this thing going around as it is!” Began the life form growing made once more. “It goes around acting all happy and…” He paused having his lips twitch. “Cute…! Then it clings to Rose calling it its mother! I will not have that!”

“So…” The fat man leaned back resting the side of his head against the back of his hand. “What do you plan to do? Do you need any of my help, or did you just come here to accuse me then pout?!”

Shadow didn’t like hearing those little insults coming from him one bit! “You need to watch that tongue of yours, doctor, because I am in no mood for this!” He warned him with his hands clenching into shaking fists.

“And I’d advice the same to you Shadow!” Robotnik threatened. “You just don’t go around messing with evil geniuses who are in their laboratories fully armed!”

Snorting, the ebony male turned himself from the evil genius starting to walk off. “I’ll just figure out what’s going on some where else since you proved to be no use to me…” Remarked the hedgehog clutching his trusty emerald to him. And after mustering the magic words… he was gone…

Just as Shadow had left, this sinister grin extended from ear to the next upon the doctor’s face. That is when a holographic row of assorted computer screens appeared clear across the air before Eggman.

“If I can get my hands on this little Shadow look-a-like I could remove Shadow and a certain blue hedgehog along with their pesky friends out of my way…!”He exclaimed with his long arms stretched high into the air while this enormous laugh echoed from off the walls.
