This is my first fanfiction in a LONG time. I have been working hard on my first novel, so I haven't had much time for fanfics. Plus, I still need complete some others that are unfinished. . So, now that we are all done here (and btw, I am only posting this disclaimer on Chapter 1 ), I hope you enjoy the story. D

Chapter 1: The New-Found Enemies
Sonic
always did despise the ocean. And who could blame him? He couldn't
swim, no matter how many times he saw others try it. He always either
stayed home or went to a different location on the OTHER side of the
continent. But not this time. Amy wouldn't allow it.
"No way! Not
this time, Sonikku! Your coming whether you like it or not. GOT
IT?!" Now, usually, he
would run. If Amy hadn't already pinned him and threatened to squash
him under her Piko Hammer. He sighed. At least Shadow had to go
too.
"And why,
might I ask, am I going on this pointless exploration?" Shadow
muttered without any sign of emotion
"Because I HAVE to go.
Which means you HAVE to go." Sonic retorted.
"...Again,
why?"
"Shadow,
please just go. We can be in fear together!" Sonic pleaded. For a mere moment,
you could have sworn Shadow blushed slightly, but it would soon be
replaced by a skeptical glare.
"...Fine."
He spat out coldly. Shadow hated the water as much as Sonic. But he
didn't have to let that on, so that way, he could pretend Sonic was
more afraid than he was, thus giving him rights to laugh in his blue
rivals face.
The beach wasn't
that far from Sonic's house, unfortunately for him. All of Sonic's
friends lived in that house, as if they were family. Only Knuckles
lived alone, guarding the Master Emerald on Angel Island. A perfect
excuse to not go to some beach, he believed. When they arrived at
"The Torture Chamber", as Sonic put it, Everyone instantly
got in the water, save Sonic, Shadow, and Tails.
"Why don't you
get in, buddy?" Sonic questioned his foxy friend.
"Eh. Water is
cool, but I brought a project I have been working on, and it can't
get wet." Tails replied intellectually.
"So...What
your saying is that your a nerd?" Shadow snickered.
"Funny. And
that is why when I even pull out a small squirt gun, you quiver like
a sad little puppy." Tails whispered.
"What was
that, Tails?"
"Oh..Nothing."
He faked a smile.
"Well,"
Sonic started, "since Amy is distracted, I think I'll--" he
was cut off by his black hedgehog rival.
"Oh, no you
don't. 'I HAVE to be here, so you HAVE to be here', remember?"
He smiled evilly.
"Well...That...I
mean..." He tried so hard to think of something, but alas,
nothing. He was doomed. Doom to eternal suffering on this godforsaken
spit of land. He silently sulked.
Meanwhile, on a
not-to-far away tower, evil was at work. As always, Eggman was at the
center of the trouble.
"So you
understand, right? I want that blue hedgehog demolished. Got it?"
Eggman said with a cynical sneer.
"But of
course. But first, our fee. After we bring him to you, we want one of
your Chaos Emeralds." said a shadow figure.
"One?! This
job defiantly should be worth at least three! This is Sonic the
Hedgehog we are dealing with, you know." Said another shadowy
figure, waving her tail, anxiously.
"One will
suffice...for now. Do what Sypher says, Tsukiko.." Said the last
figure, softly.
"Hmpf..Your
lucky I let you call me Tsukiko, Angel. I might have cut your throat
otherwise." Tsuki said violently.
"Enough,"
stated Sypher, "Do we have a deal, Eggman?"
"Certainly."
He replied, shaking Sypher's hand to seal the deal. "You guys
better live up to your reputation though." Sypher gave a small
smirk, as Tsuki laughed and Angel quietly approved.
"Oh, you
just wait and see, Mr. Robotnik. We never miss our marks." Sypher spoke sadistically.
Sonic quivered
under a blanket.
"Damn it,
Shadow! Stop squirting me!" He whined.
"Not a chance,
'Friend'." He chuckled, shooting at him again with a small water
gun. Tails would have said something, be he didn't have to. By the
time he thought about it, Amy had already started yelling.
"Leave Sonikku
alone, Shadow!" She squealed.
"I don't know
what to be more appalled by: The fact that such a frail girl can lift
such a hammer, or the fact that your screams break the sound
barrier." Shadow grunted.
"That's it,
Shadow!" She said, raising the hammer.
"Let it go,
Amy. He was just fooling around." Sonic said with a fake smile
and a small chuckle.
"Ok, my
Sonikku!" She squealed again, hugging him so tight that he
feared this over the hammer.
"Why? Why
me?! Why do have to have sadistic rivals and psycho fan girls? Ugh.."
he thought silently. As all this commotion went on, they were being
watched in secret. Eyes peered down at them like hawks, observing
Sonic and each of his friends.
"I sense a
strong force in that black hedgehog.." Angel whispered.
"As do I. We
must approach him with caution if we have to face him." Sypher
agreed.
"Well, I say
we go down there now and wring his little neck." retorted Tsuki.
"I could do it by myself."
"Tsukiko, calm
yourself. We need to approached this in a sophisticated way."
Sypher scolded.
"Tch...Whatever.
You have your way. But when night falls, it's my jurisdiction."
"Ok then. But
be warned. He is not the main target. Do not engage him unless--"
"--engaged
first." finished Tsuki. "I already know that, Sypher."
Angel just watched the two silently, while still studying her prime
target.
"Common,
Sonniku!" Amy cooned. For once, Sonic stood there, staring out
into the ocean without being afraid. It was actually quite beautiful
to him, as long as he wasn't in it, that is. Tails saw Sonic wanted
to take that in, so he ushered Amy off back to the house. Shadow
remained there, watching the sea as well.
"So, your
actually able to look at water? I'm surprised." Shadow chuckled
"Can it,
Shadow." Sonic steamed, glaring daggers at him.
"Hm...So...When
do you want to head back?"
"I don't know.
Do we have some sort of time limit?" Shadow looked away
for a moment, then returned a glance.
"I guess not." But
when Shadow looked back at Sonic, his eyes were wide. "...What?"
Sonic barely got
out the words, "S-shadow...Do waves get THAT big..?" Shadow instantly
turned back to the sea, which was about to pummel them with a giant
wave. Shadow moved fast, grabbing the stunned Sonic and moving
towards the main land. The wave barely missed them.
"..Thanks."
Sonic said breathlessly.
"Che...Pathetic."
Shadow sneered. Sonic didn't have time to retort back, for he was too
busy staring at the three figures before him.
Sypher smirked. "So
the rumors are true? Sonic is afraid of water?"
"I suppose
so..." Angel stated blankly.
"What a
pansy." Tsuki laughed.
"And just who
are you clowns?" Shadow said in all serious-ness.
"I am known as
Sypher. The hedgehog is Angel and our wolf companion is Tsuki, but do
you really need to know that? After all, we are only after Sonic."
Sypher grinned coolly. Sonic was now studying his opponents. Sypher
was a purple fox with golden eyes, similar to Tails, but with only
one tail and was a teenager at the least. He wore a grey headband and
scarf, has an armband on his right arm, and black and red boots. He
seemed like the leader of the group. Angel was a red hedgehog with
blue eyes, but nothing like Amy. She has longer quills and a quiet
personality. She wore two dark red and black armbands and a dark red
top. She wore black pants and red running shoes. Tsuki was a blue
wolf with pupiless lavender eyes. At first, he thought she was a man,
but noticed by her voice it was a women. She wore a black tench coat
and a grey tank top. He pants were dark blue with light blue strips
through them and had green running shoes. Sypher pulled out a stop
watch. "Angel, you have twenty minutes. Think you can handle
it?"
"Affirmative."
She said, a violent gleam in her eyes.
"Whether your
after Sonic or not, I will take you out with a single move."
Shadow bluffed.
Tsuki grin a wicked
smile. "So Sypher, does this mean he 'approached' me first?"
"I would
assume so, since he stated he's getting involved." Sypher
responded. Tsuki let out a blood-curling howl.
"Perfect."
