Hey, I'm back with Chapter 2. I hope to get more reviews this chapter.

Sonic and Knuckles were standing and talking, when all the sudden the ground began to shake.

"Oh, no..." said Knuckles. "I really should think twice next time I want to intercept Eggman's calls with Nacho Palace..."

Rouge fell down to the ground.

"You!" shrieked Knuckles.

"That voice...so familiar."

Knuckles tore off his monkey suit and Rouge gasped, but then forgot about it two seconds later. "The ARK is about to crash towards earth at an incredible velocity because some old guy on the Sci-fi channel said it would," said Rouge, sadly. "Because of the Chaos Emeralds or something, because some blonde Mary-Sue type chick named Maria died."

"Uh...okay," said Sonic. "Anyway, so that's how I got the nickname Sock." A police officer's rock and the bird with a helmet over it clapped somehow, while Knuckles rolled his eyes.

"Sonic, you really need to stop watching When Laundry Attacks..."

"You guys, this is serious!" said Rouge. The old guy appeared on the TV while Amy and Tails somehow appeared downstairs.

"You guys ruined everything even though you had absolutely nothing to do with it!" shrieked the old guy. "Now you must pay!"

The earth began to shake again. "NACHO PALACE, WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED ME?" screamed Knuckles.

Eggman fell down, which only caused the ARK to go faster. "That's my grandfather, Gerald Robotnik. He's a genius!"

"How is he still alive?" Sonic wondered aloud.

"Now...you must pay," whispered Gerald. A huge lizard appeared somewhere. Rouge was standing by a picture of Shadow. The picture laughed, and then spit on Rouge.

"It's the spitting image of Shadow!" yelped Rouge.

"They don't look that much alike," said Gerald. "But yes...it will kill you!"

Meanwhile, in some room...

"Shadow, you must help them!" said Amy.

"Will you shut up?" argued Shadow. He ran at Amy, but she dodged, causing Shadow to fly through the wall. He saw a huge lizard, and accidentally flew onto the thing that made him invincible with incredible force. It screamed and looked for a toilet.

"Is that what...Chaos Control is?" said Shadow, as the thing warped away.

"We're the stars of this game, so let's use the Chaos Emeralds for ourselves!" suggested Sonic. The emeralds flew around him and somehow caused Shadow to turn into a more powerful form as well. When Sonic flew out, Shadow wanted him dead, so he followed.

Shadow darted at Sonic with incredible force...but Sonic dodged, causing Shadow to hit the wound and scar it severely. The lizard screamed and a bunch of blobs flew out of his mouth. Then it died.

Shadow warped to find Sonic, but little did he know Sonic had been right next to him, so he warped the ARK back to its normal position instead. "NO!" said Shadow, pulling his hair out. "I am the ultimate life form..." He fell down to earth and caught on fire.

Sonic entered and everyone looked sad that he had lived.

"Where's Shadow?" asked Rouge. "UGH! Why didn't Sonic die instead?"

"It's okay Rouge. He'll be back in Sonic Heroes," said Sonic, sadly. "You know, I don't think that game costs much anymore. Let's all go buy it."

Everyone agreed and ran out the door.

Oh yeah, and I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog or any related characters. Sorry if the second chapter wasn't too great. Review.
