Shadow ran faster than he ever had in his life. The blade that Ceneca had designated was in Switzerland. Why not Russia? They were supposed to get it, not Umbra! At least, she had got it where there were no Arms . . . yet. The Swiss had already found the item and were waiting for Shadow to come a take the 'small space shuttle.' Thankfully, the Swiss were more than eager to give the Protectorate the capsule. This was one more reason to get rid of the lizards.

He had already encountered resistance. Black Arms were swarming. They were becoming bolder and bolder. The domain of Umbra was spreading from that one island in the Atlantic. One little island with the most powerful communication array in the galaxy.

Shadow thanked God that he had these Hover boots. He hated to have to run with just his feet. He could do it, but who in their right mind would want to do that? His blue brother in-law didn't qualify for sanity. He led a bunch of teens into a war zone. HELLO!

Even though he knew the Bem were one of the most advanced races he had ever encountered, how could they have developed a way to kill something that could easily regenerate his limbs and his could shape shifter? Still Shadow was never one to question a free ride. Of course, sending the stuff to Switzerland didn't truly make it a free ride.

Shadow had to admit, the Bem knew what they were doing when they made this blade. It was shaped like a Japanese Katana, just as long, just no hand guard. It was made of something similar to steel but far stronger. For example, to test the strength of the blade against the katana he owned at home, he sliced a bolder in half. When he looked at his handy work, he saw that the blade had left such a smooth cut sandpaper wouldn't be able smoothen it any more. Too bad he didn't have this when he was younger. Still, he could scare the hell out of Sonic. And to wield this while breaking up Shade and Emily's make-out sessions. He could scare them to death

Thank God his little girl didn't have a boy friend. He would never have any peace. A teenage girl going out on dates scared him. He knew she was just as smart as her brother but still. All dates in general scared him when he was younger. He was never for one for romance in his opinion. Sonia disagreed. Shade and Crystal were proof. But still he was terrified of dates. Now, just to think that his children were dating scared him to the point of breaking. Apparently, Shade had inherited his mother's confidence in that department. Shadow had never been able to live down the giant poster that Sonic had put up over his apartment building.

Shadow the Hedgehog is scared of DATING!

Almost the entire male population of Station Square had called him in stupid girly voices. Then it was broadcasted on the local news. Every single damn channel he turned to had the same $*&%!^ banner! Lucky for him, revenge is best served with a flaming torch and a girlfriend who can seriously deliver a powerful knee to her brother.

Tails was in a dilemma. Should he tell the world's leaders, they would fight over the info for their own purposes. Most of which would be non-beneficial to the big picture. He needed someway to hide this info and yet leak it weakly so it won't look what was. Thankfully, he was genius so he make it look he was a scientific breakthrough. Course he would have to come up with all the notes. Not the easiest thing in this insane world to do.

He put his fingers up and began to pinch the bridge of his nose. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Couldn't he get an easy metaphysics problem to pass the time? I knew I shouldn't have lost that Theoretical physics problem book by Steven Hawking. Tails sighed mentally. He almost didn't notice the warm hands wrap around his neck.
