’s right! I’m back, there is no getting rid of me. Frankly I’m disappointed with you lot. I Leave for four whole days and I get one review. Oh well that one review from Lunarian is enough to fund a whole month of medical equipment for my old abandoned nephews sisters uncles deadly spontaneousiemcombustionismkidney-iem. A deadly disease.
I have also decided to make my next fic a ShadowXCream(older) and after that I plan on either doing a ShadAmy or doing a SA2 game adaptation. With a lot more in the mindless killing department than usual.
Yep I’m blood thirsty, wanna make something of it. Anyway time to stumble blindly through what I’m assured by Lunarian is a readable story. As any self-respecting author does, I dedicate this fiction to the proud brave people of almighty Finland. (this is how I talk normally).
------------------------------------------------------- ----------------
Rotor watched as a streak of golden lightning, similar to the blue streak Sonic had, flew past the pool of water he was swimming in. As he watched it suddenly disappeared. Looking around he saw it reappear around ten metres back from where it had vanished. It passed him again slower and vanished in the same place, repeating the process again and again. It had been going as fast as Sonic usually went and that meant only one thing. Most of Knothole had seen the News clip by now, although it was not shown to the children. As it slowed to what Sonic referred to as around jogging pace- around 70 Mph- the golden glow faded and he saw a blur of black and sunset orange.
By now all swimmers in the pool had seen it and were looking on with mixed reactions as the black blur stopped and they saw the hedgehog. A permanent scowl was on his face and in sunlight his jet black fur and red highlights gave the impression of a demon out of its element. In his powerful looking arms was an orange fuzz ball, which Rotor managed to identify as Tails. His heart soared as he realised that the kitsune hadn’t been killed, but what company had he found himself in? The Hedgehog glanced directly at the group of swimmers and they were treated to a look at his unnatural red eyes. Tails still in his arms he started down the clearly marked path to Knothole, where the wooden buildings were in view, until a clearly blushing and almost stuttering Tails asked to be put down.
“Looks like Tails has a crush.” A Fox vixen near him remarked with a smirk. “Of the male persuasion too, I always thought if anyone would turn out to be straying from the path of the straight it would be Antoine.” Impossible, Tails isn’t gay. He’s probably just embarrassed that we all saw him being carried like that Rotor thought to himself then again, Sonic’s carried him like that a few times and he never blushed then.
“That fox sure can pick them, that’s the same guy from the News! Handsome though, I wouldn’t be surprised if confused little Tails has competition.” This time it was an Otter male who was laughing. But he was probably right, looks like that were bound to be noticed by some of Knothole’s shallower women, who might not even care about the humans killed as long as they could bag him first.
Knowing what a change this news would bring to Sally the Walrus Mobian ran to her hut as fast as he could, spurred on by the thought of cheering Sally up he ran at a speed that most athletic clubs would be satisfied with.
------------------------------------
Sally’s hut had the curtains drawn and she had refused to come out into the village, preferring instead to live in the memories she had of Tails, the little she had left. Nicole lay on charge and silent, for although the calculator sized AI construct had little or no emotions she knew enough to leave Sally to recover. Sally lay on her bed, a pillow muffling her sobs in the twilight room. Her self-pity was interrupted however when she heard a large bump against her door, like someone had ran into it.
“Ow” came Rotors voice through the wood. She managed to get herself together enough to tell him to go away but he continued trying to get in whilst talking further, “Sally you don’t understand! Its Tails!” All despair was forgotten as new hope coursed through her veins. Opening the door she found a wet Rotor in swimming trunks, but too anxious to hear what he had to say she urged him on. “I saw Tails at the pool, he was with that psycho hedgehog! There in Knothole. Now!”
She fainted.
------------------------------------------
Shado w followed Tails into Knothole and smirked at the fear on the other creatures faces, the mobians were similar only in height and general stance but beyond that they were obviously different species. The village had gone silent and all eyes were on them, assessing the strength and speed of each villager in sight was done in a few seconds and he determined that he was superior to any creature here, like he hadn’t already known that.
Suddenly a blue flash flew past him and brought Tails with it, the villagers actually cheered at this and he was left confused. Why would they cheer at Tails being taken? The flash stopped a few meters away and he could see the person Tails had been talking about holding firmly on to the fox and glaring directly at him.
“Sonic the Hedgehog I presume. I am Shadow. Tails told me we looked alike and he was correct. The resemblance is uncanny.” However underneath this calm speech he was really analyzing the other Mobian. Whilst Sonic was slightly shorter he seemed to be just as fast, but his physical strength couldn’t compare. Shadow knew he would beat him in a straight fight, even without Chaos Powers but he was still a threat and should be eliminated. Instead of answering Sonic started to growl at him, he guessed Sonic knew about his little revenge on the Humans. To be honest he had intended to destroy only Prison Island but found it almost gone, killing the repair workers hadn’t been enough to slake his bloodlust and he had gone after some other targets.
“Sonic what’s wrong? This is Shadow, he saved me from that basement level.” Why did Sonic seem so hostile towards Shadow? He could have been Robotnik himself for this reaction. Finally Sonic talked, taking on a cocky tone and starting to grin at him.
“So your not a secret weapon! Eggman has just had another go at trying to make a copy! Your nothing but a fake!” this seemed to explain everything to the blue hedgehog and Shadow decided that he would probably kill him soon but decided to first try and madden him.
“ Hah! You seriously believe a creature like me could ever be a fake? I am too powerful for that! Your comparing yourself to me? Your not even good enough to be my fake, I will destroy you!” Tails was worried now. He had no idea who would win if they went up against each other but Shadow seemed to have a lot of tricks up his sleeves (metaphoric, he’s naked). Letting go of Tails now Sonic launched himself at Shadow, who simply stood there with his arms crossed until Sonic almost touched him. And then disappeared! Looking around wildly he was surprised when a strong kick landed on his back and he flew forward.
Shadow had teleported behind him! Getting up he tried a spin dash, only to be met with one from his enemy. Sparks flew and they both leapt back. After exchanging a few more spin dashes Shadow changed tactics, jumping into the air his right hand began to crackle with energy and he let it loose at a confused Sonic with a cry.
“Chaos Spear!” the lightning bolt struck Sonic dead on and he flew back stunned. Feels like I got hit by a car! His brief time in the air stopped when he hit a tree. What was that? Whatever it was he was charging up another! The other hedgehog’s hand crackled again, but more this time and Sonic was barely able to get out of the way before the tree was obliterated by the attack. When the smoke cleared it was burnt and a large jagged hole was in the trunk before it fell back. Luckily not onto any huts or people. He really is trying to kill me!
Shadow chuckled darkly at seeing his double try to dodge the attacks and decided to step up the action a bit, purple light glowed around his hands and he threw the deadly energy attacks down at the tired and singed Hedgehog.
“This is the ultimate power” was accompanied by explosions as the globes met the ground. The villagers had long since abandoned the area around them and were looking out of the huts. Only Tails remained and Shadow made sure not to accidentally hurt him. One of the globes struck the ground near Sonics foot and forced his light frame into the air where Shadow teleported above him and dealt him a flying kick, driving him into the ground. Sonic lay there exhausted as the demon Hedgehog walked up to him and prepared to finish him. He raised his hand for another Chaos Spear and pointed it at Sonic.
“I’m afraid your high speed adventure is coming to an end Sonic th-ugh” Something interrupted and smacked into his face with enough force to send him flying.
----------------------------------
Tails watched in horror as Shadow easily beat Sonic and sent him flying to the ground, not content with his victory however he then quite literally moved in for the kill. Determined to protect his older “brother” and hero he wound up his twin tails and used them to propel himself to them. Jumping into the air and knowing the relative weakness of his arms he flung his tails around to hit Shadow away. The result was surprising to say the least, Shadow was hit with the only strongly muscled limbs in Tails’ body and flew away into the trees, knocking over several and settling in a cloud of thrown up dirt.
At that moment a pair of furred arms grabbed him in an embrace and he saw a tearful Sally hugging him tightly. This must be what Sonic suffered from when Amy had a crush on him! I can barely breath!
“Tails! I thought you were dead” she explained loosening the grip, tears falling freely. “When Robotnik’s basement level blew up we had to leave you!” she cried.
“Well Shadow rescued me, I think. I was unconscious at the time.”
“well done little buddy” came Sonic’s weak voice “but do you think you could help me up? Only Shadow kind of did a number on my back.” A few villagers dare to come out now and attempt to help Sonic but froze again upon hearing the dark commanding voice of the anti-Sonic as some had come to think of him.
“Whoever did that is going to die!” he leapt out of the small crater he had created and flew directly for them with murder on his face. Sonic collapsed, Sally screamed and Tails braced himself and brought his hands up to try and defend himself against the attack that never came. When he opened his eyes he saw a fist, barely an inch away from his face, and a very confused Shadow.
He had expected to see another rival or threat but it was only Tails, he had only just managed to stop himself from striking the poor fox and actually felt guilty for scaring him. Him! Guilty! He decided to try and explain himself. “If you wanted me to stop that much you could have just told me to stop.” This really shocked the scared fox, who stopped cowering and just stared open mouthed at the frankly confusing person fate had thrown him In with.
“ You mean you would have listened to me? I could have just asked you to stop and you would have? Why?” This puzzled the spectators too, why would this psycho even listen to Tails?
“You did release me from my prison, I owe you something.” Tails tried to think fast and take advantage of this odd mood while he had the chance.
“okay, first no killing villagers, especially Sonic. He’s my best friend.” A mischievous grin appeared on Tails face “unless of course I tell you to” there were a few bullies that wouldn’t bother him anymore.
“Your lucky he likes you blue boy, or you wouldn’t survive the day.” He threatened Sonic with. Shadow then simply walked over to a tree and leaned against it, closing his eyes “I’m sure you have a lot to catch up on” was all he said before falling asleep .
----------------------------------------------
“I s psycho-hog asleep?” Bunnie asked as they managed to get Sonic into the medical hut.
“I think so, and his name is Shadow. He is not a psycho” Tails told her, sounding annoyed. Sally began to treat Sonics wounds, they weren’t that extensive. Just a few cuts and bruises from the fight and a bit of singed fur.
“oh come on Tails, look at what he did to Sonic” she remarked.
“So what, Sonic attacked first” she hadn’t know this an immediately began to question Sonic in whilst cleaning his cuts.
“Okay so maybe I did fight first, but you’ve seen the news program, he’s a psycho anyway.
“What news program?”
“Oh just a video of your gothic friend attacking Station Square”. Sonic answered. “Nicole play the tape.” Nicole projected the same video as most of Knothole had seen and listened to it talk about Shadow being insane or dangerous. But all that went through his brain was this thought I was unconscious for Chaos knows how long and he didn’t hurt me, he helped me and protected me from the explosion, in fact. I haven’t even seen him start fighting by himself, he’s always been provoked.
“That doesn’t matter, what matters is I was in danger and he helped me, when I fainted you know what he did?” he asked the stunned Mobians, Tails was never usually like this. “He took me into the forest, found me a place to sleep, put me there and guarded me all night!” Sally was surprised, Tails was really getting worked up about this. What was it about this new hedgehog? She didn’t think it was just gratitude for saving him.
“Doesn’t matter? He killed all those humans. Don’t they matter?” Sonic asked him, what had gotten into his little buddy?
“I’m sure he had a good reason! Can we just drop it!” Everyone was silent for a while until Bunnie got an idea.
“Do you think he’d help us fight Robotnik?”
------------------------------------------------- ---
Shadows dreams were full of memories.
The fragile little blond girl stood in front of his tank unafraid of him. So unlike the others his curiosity peaked. She waved to him, he did the same. The researchers had been trying to get their weapon to do something like that for days.
“Maria, do something else please” the Professor asked her. Confused to why she settled on placing her hand on the glass, which he also did.
“Fascinating.”
“Can we let him out now, break the glass or something?” Of course, why not just break the glass he thought she wanted him out after all. His fist raised and he prepared to drive it through the barrier.
“Shadow stop! The glass will hurt her!” The template told him urgently, he didn’t want to hurt the new creature and stopped. “Everyone, get behind a shield barrier.” Several odd machines were taken out and placed on the floor, plugged in and turned on they produced something which Shadow somehow knew was a force field. Seeing them safe Shadow started again, bringing his fist into contact with the glass with so much force the entire tank shattered and flew outwards. He ripped of any pipes still attached to him ad took the first breath of his life
He stood there amongst the broken glass and walked towards the scientists, the professor presented him with four gold bands and a pair of whatever it was the researchers had on their feet. Putting them on where instructed he searched for the one who had helped him.
Maria grabbed him and held him against her, why she did it he was unsure but it felt nice. His damp fur pressed up against her strangely furless but clothed body. He looked around clueless at the scientists sniggering, his introduction to life was complete. He hugged her back, feeling that this was what he was supposed to do.
-----------------------------------------
“I still don’t think this is a good idea”
“Come on Sonic, if he can do to robots what he did to GUN he could be extremely useful, right Tails”
“Yeah, if we can wake him up.” Shadow kept his eyes closed and gave the appearance of sleeping.
“Can I help you? Or do you prefer just watching me sleep?” Shadow asked opening his eyes and treating the Freedom Fighters to a scowl.
Tails jumped back when he heard that voice and blushed again, Sally decided to do the talking.
“Okay Shadow, I have a proposal for you.” he raised his eyebrow but didn’t interrupt “We are currently at war with a human named Doctor Julian Robotnik, who is apparently your creators grandson. He currently controls around half of the planet and kills or enslaves anyone who gets in his way. He uses a device called a roboticiser to change people into mindless machines and we want you to help us stop him.” Shadow chuckled, it seemed that the destiny of humans was to destroy each other, if he didn’t do so first. Still, he must have inherited some of Gerald’s genius to be able to do that. Of course he would still be killed, Gerald said all humans must die. “I am willing to reward you quite handsomely for your assistance.”
“Reward me with what, there is nothing I want that you can possibly give.”
“How about money?” she hoped that he was greedy, maybe if she paid him some of the jewels and money that her family had left behind he would help.
“ I have no need for money, what would I buy?” Maybe power? He seemed to enjoy that.
“How about power? I could make you a duke or a general or something” she really seemed desperate for him to help them, he hadn’t realised how bad they must have it. But still his original objective remained, and this human seemed too strong to go up against until he knew more.
“I have all the power I need, I control the powers of the Chaos Emeralds!”
“How about women? There’s a lot of good looking women in Knothole I’m sure they would love to….” She trailed of. For a while he just stared at her- as did Sonic, Tails, Bunnie and Rotor. A few villagers who had overheard her giggled. After a while he spoke.
“Don’t offer something that your not prepared to give yourself.” Did he mean he wanted her? Tails was disturbed that his Aunt Sally was offering women to Shadow, and even more that Shadow might pick her. He was even a little bit….jealous? okay, no more weird thoughts about Shadow now okay? Good.
“Well if you really want me and that’s what it takes to get you on our side, I just need a bit of time to sort it out with my boyfriend.” Sonic was fuming, Shadow had given him another reason to hate him.
“Excuse me Miss….”
“Acorn” she filled in “Princess Sally Acorn”
“Right, I do not intend to mate with you. I may murder people and enjoy destruction but I still have morals. That really was advice, don’t offer anything that your not prepared to give yourself.” He sounded a bit surprised, Tails guessed the offer of sex had caught him of guard a bit, as it would anyone. Tails decided to try and convince him instead.
“Shadow, you said that you owed me for releasing you.” he tried to put on his best cute face to convince him.
“That is correct, I owe you one wish as it were. I was originally hoping you were some kind of madman so I could use you to destroy the humans but that doesn’t appear to be the case. After you saw the writing on the pod I would be surprised if a sane person let me out”
“But I didn’t let you out on purpose, the Emerald started floating.”
“Well you indirectly let me out then, you brought the Emerald” he took out the green Chaos Emerald and made it float in the air to demonstrate himself.
“So this wish? Could I wish you helped us stop Robotnik?” he asked timidly.
“Yes, but you could also wish to be ruler and overlord of Mobius, wouldn’t you prefer that?” his voice was bordering on hopeful now. This actually made Tails laugh, it was just the way he said it.
“No, my original wish if you’d be so kind” this was accompanied by Shadow muttering something about some people being beyond help but he eventually agreed. Sally spoke next although somewhat embarrassed about her earlier offers.
“well then welcome to the Freedom Fighters, we just need to find you a hut to sleep in.”
“My hut has a spare bed” Tails sounded a little too eager to have him in his hut “he can sleep with me” Damn it another innuendo! Sally was suspicious but eventually decided that would be best, since Tails was the only one who could control Shadow.
“Okay Tails, help him get settled in.”

Yeah! Another chapter done, I’m setting this out to be a gradual thing so it might take some time until the lemon. Luckily I’m showing a remarkable attention span at the moment. If you have any ideas for this story or future fics please tell me.
I also need reviews! I know people are reading this, there is large number next to it! So review, I want my first flame as well. With the things im gunna do in these then ill need practise fending you lot off.
Oh Lunarian, I sent you an email thanking you personally. If you haven’t got it tough.
I have also decided to make my next fic a ShadowXCream(older) and after that I plan on either doing a ShadAmy or doing a SA2 game adaptation. With a lot more in the mindless killing department than usual.
Yep I’m blood thirsty, wanna make something of it. Anyway time to stumble blindly through what I’m assured by Lunarian is a readable story. As any self-respecting author does, I dedicate this fiction to the proud brave people of almighty Finland. (this is how I talk normally).

“Do you think he’d help us fight Robotnik?”

Shadows dreams were full of memories.
The fragile little blond girl stood in front of his tank unafraid of him. So unlike the others his curiosity peaked. She waved to him, he did the same. The researchers had been trying to get their weapon to do something like that for days.
“Maria, do something else please” the Professor asked her. Confused to why she settled on placing her hand on the glass, which he also did.
“Fascinating.”
“Can we let him out now, break the glass or something?” Of course, why not just break the glass he thought she wanted him out after all. His fist raised and he prepared to drive it through the barrier.
“Shadow stop! The glass will hurt her!” The template told him urgently, he didn’t want to hurt the new creature and stopped. “Everyone, get behind a shield barrier.” Several odd machines were taken out and placed on the floor, plugged in and turned on they produced something which Shadow somehow knew was a force field. Seeing them safe Shadow started again, bringing his fist into contact with the glass with so much force the entire tank shattered and flew outwards. He ripped of any pipes still attached to him ad took the first breath of his life
He stood there amongst the broken glass and walked towards the scientists, the professor presented him with four gold bands and a pair of whatever it was the researchers had on their feet. Putting them on where instructed he searched for the one who had helped him.
Maria grabbed him and held him against her, why she did it he was unsure but it felt nice. His damp fur pressed up against her strangely furless but clothed body. He looked around clueless at the scientists sniggering, his introduction to life was complete. He hugged her back, feeling that this was what he was supposed to do.

“I still don’t think this is a good idea”
“Come on Sonic, if he can do to robots what he did to GUN he could be extremely useful, right Tails”
“Yeah, if we can wake him up.” Shadow kept his eyes closed and gave the appearance of sleeping.
“Can I help you? Or do you prefer just watching me sleep?” Shadow asked opening his eyes and treating the Freedom Fighters to a scowl.
Tails jumped back when he heard that voice and blushed again, Sally decided to do the talking.
“Okay Shadow, I have a proposal for you.” he raised his eyebrow but didn’t interrupt “We are currently at war with a human named Doctor Julian Robotnik, who is apparently your creators grandson. He currently controls around half of the planet and kills or enslaves anyone who gets in his way. He uses a device called a roboticiser to change people into mindless machines and we want you to help us stop him.” Shadow chuckled, it seemed that the destiny of humans was to destroy each other, if he didn’t do so first. Still, he must have inherited some of Gerald’s genius to be able to do that. Of course he would still be killed, Gerald said all humans must die. “I am willing to reward you quite handsomely for your assistance.”
“Reward me with what, there is nothing I want that you can possibly give.”
“How about money?” she hoped that he was greedy, maybe if she paid him some of the jewels and money that her family had left behind he would help.
“ I have no need for money, what would I buy?” Maybe power? He seemed to enjoy that.
“How about power? I could make you a duke or a general or something” she really seemed desperate for him to help them, he hadn’t realised how bad they must have it. But still his original objective remained, and this human seemed too strong to go up against until he knew more.
“I have all the power I need, I control the powers of the Chaos Emeralds!”
“How about women? There’s a lot of good looking women in Knothole I’m sure they would love to….” She trailed of. For a while he just stared at her- as did Sonic, Tails, Bunnie and Rotor. A few villagers who had overheard her giggled. After a while he spoke.
“Don’t offer something that your not prepared to give yourself.” Did he mean he wanted her? Tails was disturbed that his Aunt Sally was offering women to Shadow, and even more that Shadow might pick her. He was even a little bit….jealous? okay, no more weird thoughts about Shadow now okay? Good.
“Well if you really want me and that’s what it takes to get you on our side, I just need a bit of time to sort it out with my boyfriend.” Sonic was fuming, Shadow had given him another reason to hate him.
“Excuse me Miss….”
“Acorn” she filled in “Princess Sally Acorn”
“Right, I do not intend to mate with you. I may murder people and enjoy destruction but I still have morals. That really was advice, don’t offer anything that your not prepared to give yourself.” He sounded a bit surprised, Tails guessed the offer of sex had caught him of guard a bit, as it would anyone. Tails decided to try and convince him instead.
“Shadow, you said that you owed me for releasing you.” he tried to put on his best cute face to convince him.
“That is correct, I owe you one wish as it were. I was originally hoping you were some kind of madman so I could use you to destroy the humans but that doesn’t appear to be the case. After you saw the writing on the pod I would be surprised if a sane person let me out”
“But I didn’t let you out on purpose, the Emerald started floating.”
“Well you indirectly let me out then, you brought the Emerald” he took out the green Chaos Emerald and made it float in the air to demonstrate himself.
“So this wish? Could I wish you helped us stop Robotnik?” he asked timidly.
“Yes, but you could also wish to be ruler and overlord of Mobius, wouldn’t you prefer that?” his voice was bordering on hopeful now. This actually made Tails laugh, it was just the way he said it.
“No, my original wish if you’d be so kind” this was accompanied by Shadow muttering something about some people being beyond help but he eventually agreed. Sally spoke next although somewhat embarrassed about her earlier offers.
“well then welcome to the Freedom Fighters, we just need to find you a hut to sleep in.”
“My hut has a spare bed” Tails sounded a little too eager to have him in his hut “he can sleep with me” Damn it another innuendo! Sally was suspicious but eventually decided that would be best, since Tails was the only one who could control Shadow.
“Okay Tails, help him get settled in.”
