Perhaps because shadow has an emerald chaos this make him dont needing to load, since the energy would not be coming from his body, but from the emerald. Or metal sonic charged chaos control, allowing him to stop the time for a longer period, which would require more time to reload the ability (note that in this fight after shadow give a single HIT on silver the effect ends).

And even if you let the colony fall in the earth Zero and X survive the impact(they are far from the base and unprotect). You can  say that they were not in direct impact, but the game shows that they was, since Alia scans the impact region and finds Zero and the next stage are in the impact region:
