"That was so awesome!" Pinkie exclaimed as she sat atop Omegas head as they exited the movie theatre with Shadow, Rouge and Vector.

"I agree. Although the pacing was slightly flawed it was still a good movie all the same." Shadow added while wiping the popcorn off of his chest fur. "Every damn time..."

"Maybe I should get into this Ratchet and Clank series." Omega mumbled to himself, only to have Pinkie bend over and look him in the eyes upside down.

"You'd love it Nanny! It's got tons of weapons, pretty explosions and hordes and hordes of enemies to mow down with glorious instruments of death!" The pink balk of energy explained with glee.

Rouge leaned close to Shadow while looking at Pinkie worriedly. "I think maybe we should limit her interactions with Omega from now on...she's getting way too into violent things lately."

Shadow just shrugged and took a sip of his cola that he had brought out from in the theatre. "I don't think that will help, we're already going into life threatening situations on a daily basis with those same things involved, there's no helping her, not that she needs help of course."

"Why oh why am I the only responsible parent?" Rouge asked while rubbing her face with both hands.

"Says the one that has been teaching her daughter how to steal jewels and other items of value." Shadow quipped before ducking to avoid a slap on the back of the head. "Nice try Rouge."

"Omega, if you would."

"With pleasure." With that said, Omega punched Shadow full force, sending him flying down the street.

Pinkie just laughed as she watched her father peeling himself off of a brick wall. "I hate you Omega..." Shadow grumbled.

"I love you too emo-hog."

Meanwhile

Eggman smiled as he watched his new Black Arms soldiers getting to work on finishing the construction of his new base. After they all had left Black Doom to fend for himself, Eggman had taken in half of the army to use as soldiers and to give them a purpose with work familiar to them, as they were designed to take orders but after being exposed to Pinkie they had gained individual personalities and free will. Although there was a sense of comfort with being told what to do, so they were more than happy to serve under Eggman for the time being.

The rest of the Black Arms had either began to develop their own communities around the world. While they would eventually need to feed again, they had enough energy to go on without feeding on living Lifeforms until Eggman, Tails and many other scientists could find an alternative source of food for them. The most successful attempt so far was Chao Fruit, having somewhat life giving properties and other substances that naturally grew in the fruit, the aliens that had tried them so far seem to have been satisfied and the tree seeds were being distributed to the communities of the aliens.

Before being allowed to settle on earth the aliens had to pinkie promise not to eat any humans while they were there. Of course Pinkie was unaware of the aliens true intentions for coming to earth in the first place she still held them to their promise, and there was no alien alive that was brace enough to break it.

"The aliens settling in ok?" Shard asked as he walked into the control room.

Eggman chuckled as he watched one of his larger robots having an arm wrestle with one of the huge aliens. "Yes, they've adapted very quickly and they are getting along perfectly with the Egg Pawns and Badnicks."

"Well this has to be beneficial to you, your workforce doubled and you have all of this new land to create Eggmanland."

Eggmans smile widened at the thought. "You know something, I've been thinking of turning Eggmanland into an actual theme park instead of a series of death rides."

Shard just raised a brow and looked to one of the many screens, detailing new plans for rides and amusements. "So...your plans of returning to evil are out the window?"

Eggman shrugged and set his hand in one of the control panels. "While I do miss being evil, there are things in this world that should just be left alone. The world is messed up enough without me adding to the mix, perhaps it's time to start fixing the world instead. And what better way to start fixing the world than to bring joy to the people?"

Shard just shook his head and sighed. "It's not that, I know it isn't."

Eggman let his smile falter before it became nothing more than a frown.

"It's because of Pinkie, and what happened with your parents. Isn't it?"

Eggman sighed and turned around, walkimg towards the door. "I'd be lying if I said it wasn't."

Meanwhile...again

Black Doom sat alone in the main chamber of the Black Commet which was currently settled on Mars. "I will not stand for this any longer!" Doom slammed his fist into the side of the chamber, causing it to shake due to the strength behind the strike. "Those foolish Black Arms have no idea what they're doing! We were supposed to enslave this pitiful rave and devour them, not befriend and coexist with them!"

As he slumped back in his throne Doom sighed and looked around the empty chamber.

"Oh well...at least I still have one of the Chaos Emeralds." As soon as he said this Shadow casually walked across the room while whistling and tossing the final emerald in his hand.

"I need to borrow this. I'm not returning it. Chaos Control!" With a flash the black hedgehog was gone.

Doom just stared wide eyed at the spot of which Shadow had teleported out from. He clenched his fists in anger and rise up into the air. "THAT DOES IT!!!"

He teleported to the main control room of the Commet and began to pilot it off of the red planet.

"I'LL TAKE THE EMERALDS BY FORCE AND TELEPORT THE COMMET DOWN TO THAT MISERABLE PILE OF DIRT AND DO WHAT WE CAME HERE TO DO IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!"

Author's Notes:

Yeah, the next chapter will probably be the last of the Shadow the Hedgehog game arc.

The next will most likely be my own version of the Sonic 06 story without the retcon ending as it won't reach final story.

Either that or do a bit for Riders before jumping into Sonic Unleashed.
