NoteWow. That took a long time. After updating The Misadventures tagahanga Fiction spot (and yes you can now visit, but I need to add pix and videos, but feel free to add tagahanga art), I've finally written the most kamakailan part in this puwang opera. And, it has been decided that Eggman might rule the world! MWAHAHA! NOT! You'll just have to read and see, won't you?

Lilith and Rouge ran down the corridor. “It’s easy to follow footprints, eh Lilith?” Rouge began to fly. “I mean, talk about fancy footwear! These are high-heeled boots! If anything, our intruder is both elusive AND stylish.”
Lilith rolled her eyes. An intruder was an intruder, no matter what they wore.
Rouge flipped open her wrist-communicator and dialed up Shadow in the Control Room. “Find anything on the cameras?” she asked when he answered.
“Negative.” The black hedgehog replied. “I’m only getting static. Someone’s been messing with the systems. Try to find out their susunod ilipat from your position.”
“Our position, if you must know, is almost too perfect.” Rouge exclaimed. “We’re following muddy boot-prints down to the Conservatory.”
“Good. Follow them and ulat back to me.” Shadow hung up.
Lilith noticed something right after Rouge closed the communicator. The pacing on these boot-prints was off. She tried to sign to Rouge, but the bat shrugged it off. Lilith pointed at the prints again. Nothing. Then, she did it. Insane, but it worked. Lilith walked backwards. Now, the message came through. “Oh! Our feminine sneak decided to walk backwards, did she?” Rouge’s expression went sly. “Good girl, Lilith.”
I’m NOT a pet! Lilith thought.

“I hate ARK. I hate ARK. Why did I come here again?” Lil asked herself as she tiptoed backwards. “This is stupid! Do you honestly think they could be here yet?”
“And who might that be, my little Miss Officer?” A cold, masculine voice echoed behind her. Lil’s skin crawled. “Don’t tell me you don’t remember…”
“I do.” Lil replied. “Only too well…” She spun around only to be shot sa pamamagitan ng a tranquilizer dart. Eggman…

“What’s this?” Sonic asked, pointing to the big machine in the middle of the basement lab. “It looks great, even if it was dented sa pamamagitan ng Eggman.”
“It’s my mind-wiper.” Myzak nodded. “It’s supposed to get rid of the other guy in my brain, but keep the memories I have of my life…even though I don’t remember much.”
“I see.” Tails spoke up. “You wanted the Chaos Esmeralda to power it! What theory were you using? I want to know everything! This stuff is awesome for raw-talent!”
“Maybe we should go to ARK to see if this stuff is connected.” Myzak sinabi in a soft voice. “I mean, you did say that these fancy computers were identical to those computers on that cursed no-good puwang colony.” Then the thought occurred to the tomcat. “Ya’ll didn’t mention that ARK was a puwang colony, did ya?”
“Maybe you were an experiment.” Knuckles offered. “And you escaped in that mysterious other capsule that was shot from the ARK massacre.”
“When did you become a genius?” Sonic raised an eyebrow. “Sure, yeah, let’s go to ARK. Maybe Eggman’s there too!”

Shadow’s fingers raced across one of the keyboards that inter-corresponded with the cameras. Fuzz. Fuzz. FUZZ!! Nothing but static. Who could’ve messed up the cameras? Surely no one. “Omega,” the black hedgehog addressed the E-series robot, “how’s the override coming along?”
“Negative.” It replied. “May I recommend a re-boot?”
“Go ahead.” Shadow scoffed. It didn’t matter what he said, Omega would do whatever it wanted. The screens blinked off as the system restarted. Suddenly, Dr. Eggman’s image popped-up on the all the computers, laughing loudly. The speakers almost broke. It blasted Shadow backwards against the wall.
“HELLO, SHADOW!” Eggman’s image began. “WELCOME TO THE EGGMAN ERA! I’M GLAD YOU TUNED IN TO THE EGGMAN CHANNEL!”
“Omega!” Shadow shouted over the scientist’s overwhelming voice. “Override this, now!”
“IF YOU TRY TO TURN ME OFF, YOU WILL BE ZAPPED sa pamamagitan ng A INDESTRUCTABLE FIREWALL! NOW, LET’S GET TO BUSINESS, REMEMBER THESE CREATURES?” The screens blinked to reveal Tails landing the X-Tornado in one of the abandoned, dusty air-hangers for spaceships. “THEY’RE BASICALLY WALKING INTO YOUR ARMS, SHADOW. NOW, THERE IS A PRICE TO EVERYTHING, ISN’T THERE? WELL, I HAPPEN TO KNOW THAT ROUGE AND YOUR FRIEND LILITH ARE STRIDING AROUND THE HALLS LOOKING FOR YOUR INTRUDER. IF YOU WANT TO FIND HER, HERE SHE IS!”
The screens blinked again to reveal Lil struggling to free her wrists from chains that were imbedded in the wall. Her hair was a wreck; her eyes were fiery and distant like a wild woman. She looked scared. She had bit her lip till it bled. Tears streaked her cheeks.
A lump grew in Shadow’s throat. She had come for Myzak…or to warn the hedgehog himself that Eggman was here. Stupid! Everything was stupid!
“NOW, WATCH AS YOUR CREW IS CAUGHT IN MY TRAP! MWAHAHA!”
