Omega's Turn
Chapter one:
A Peaceful night Broken
It was a calm, peaceful night, with the stars dancing around in the full moon. Small puffy clouds walked around the pitch black sky, glowing in the light cast by the moon.
Yes, it was a calm, peaceful night, indeed.
Suddenly, the calm and peaceful mood made by the night was broken by a broken Ka-Boom sound as a round vehicle flew in front of the mood. The vehicle was, ironically, egg shaped with a single engine booster on it, and a wing on each side, that looked ready to fall off at any time. The engine was making a clinking sound like it was about to stop working, and letting out a small black clouds as it moved along. At the head of the vehicle was a robot, looking just as broken as the machine he was piloting.
The engine booster suddenly Ka-boom again, and a much larger smoke cloud came out of the engine, but the vehicle continued onwards, as if nothing was wrong with it.
"Processing -Buzzzzzz-. Tarrrrgeeet fouuund," the old robot spoke in a broken computer voice. " -Buzzzzzz-, droopping looaad."
The bottom of the vehicle opened, and a something begin to fall from the opening. The mysterious falling objects were shrouded in mystery as they fell from the vehicle's inside, and out of the light of the moon.
(And where are the objects falling to, you ask? Well lets turn back the clock and see)
"Andy! Get off the computer, and get ready for bed!" a black hedgehog with red strips in his quill and a pair of golden bracelets above his gloves called to his son.
This hedgehog is none other then Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate life form, and probably the biggest anti-social bug on the face of three planets. Or that what the blue faker, Sonic the Hedgehog says, though Shadows doesn't listen to him often.
He turned his head slightly and saw his young son, Andrew "Andy" Hedgehog, still on his laptop, chatting with the faker's son. How the two got alone better then their fathers was a mystery to Shadow.
Up to a few years ago, Andy was actually Shadow Android, a robotic copy of Shadow himself. After a ran in with one of his creator, the round one himself, Doctor Eggman, stupidly name invention changed all of that. This event had changed Shadow Android, along with Metal Sonic, and Metal Knuckles, into organic toddlers. Shadow, Sonic and Knuckles later learned that because of fluke, the former robots were now their sons, and each decided raise their new sons to the best of their power.
Shadow grinned slightly as he looked away from his son, deciding to give him a few more minutes, it was the weekend after all.
He caught moment from the corner of his left eye, but didn't looked, knowing who it was already. Maria the Dark Chao, the only good thing that blue faker had given since their meeting. After Shadow has been turned into a toddler himself, Sonic had taken him to a Chao garden and he picked out, and named Maria. Or so he was told.
Shadow noted that Maria has been searching for something lately. What that something is, Shadow didn't know or didn't care. Maria was more of a friend then a pet to Shadow, and as long she didn't do anything to harm Shadow or Andy, then he was fine with her roaming.
Turning his head slightly to his right, and could make out the glowing yellow light, coming from Omega, last of Eggman's E100 series, and probably the most dangerous one in the entire series. Omega was the closest thing Shadow had to a best friend. When Shadow usually get evicted from one of his apartments, Omega would let him bunked with him until he found a new place. When Andy came into the picture, Omega suggested staying at his place.
Thinking back now, Shadow realized that it was a sound choice. He doubt that Andy's young body could handle all the moving around. Shadow frown as he recalled a list that Omega had made, and once showed to Andy. He was once evicted from seven different apartments in one day.
Shadow's frown deeply as he thought about the cause as to why he was evicted some many times in a single day. Sonic had managed to find him at each apartment he went to, and annoyed him to no end. The end results were never pretty. Most of the time Shadow would begin firing Chaos Spear, after Chaos Spear, hoping to at least shut up the stupid blue idiot. The building, let along the room he wanted to rent, wouldn't remain undamaged.
Needless to say, Shadow never even got a chance to see the room he was going to rent let alone get his stuff moved in.
Shadow looked away from his friend, and down at his own laptop. His brow wrinkled slightly as he let the memory fad into the back of his head, and his attention was completely focused on his screen.
For a mouth now, someone has been dumping trash on in front of his house. And it wasn't just Shadow who was experiencing this problem. Sonic and all of his friends were having this problem as well.
Now, Shadow was all for seeing his annoying rival in such pain, he couldn't take a blow to his pride, especially when Sonic challenge him to find whoever was doing this. Shadow took the challenge in a heart beat, and with Omega's help, installed some of GUN's latest spy cameras, and linked them to Shadow's laptop.
Now, all Shadow had to do was play the waiting game. And that was a game that Shadow the Hedgehog was a master at.
(And now, let fast forward)
"ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ," Shadow was fast asleep. (Hmm, guess Shadow isn't that good at playing the waiting game, is he folks?)
Shadow had stayed up half the night, staring intently into his laptop's screen. The only problem in his plan was that he was out of coffee, and even the Ultimate Life Form needed something to keep him up to the early morning.
Shadow was suddenly awoken by the sound of many things crashing in front of his house. He had to hold back a cry of pain when his right knee slammed into the bottom of his table. Robbing his knee, the black hedgehog looked into his screen. He had to bit his lower lip from crying out and waking his son up.
Sure enough, there was a large pile of trash, just a couple of inches outside of the front door. Shadow, unable to hold his anger in anymore, jumped right out of his chair and ran outside, without opening a door, creating a Shadow shaped hole. There was another Shadow shaped hole right next to the one the black hedgehog just made.
Of course, all of the noise did wake Andy up. He set up, robbing some sleep from his eyes. He lazily looked at the second hole that his father mode, and get out of bed. He walked over to the hole shaped like his father, and calmly stepped out into the night air. The younger hedgehog saw his father, digging through a pile of garbage that has mysterious appeared.
Shadow looked like a man, well hedgehog, possessed as he fiercely dig into the pile, throwing back large clumps of trash in all directions. He was trying to find any evidence as to who was behind all of this. And this wasn't his firs time doing this either. And so far, his search has turned up nothing.
Andy yawn as he watched his father dig through garage like some wild fox, looking for it's next meal. Just watching his father was putting Andy back to sleep. After watching his father for another 30 seconds, the younger hedgehog decided to go back to bed. He turned around to go back inside, when he saw it, by chance actually, from the corner of his eye. He turned to the piles and his eyes widen when he saw a object, sticking out from the far edge of the pile.
Shadow was ready to scream his head off. He's been searching through this pile for about three minutes now, and he still hasn't found anything that brought him closer to the guy who's been dumping on his front lawn. He was close to Chaos Controlling this garage into the nearest black hole, and be done with it.
"Father, I believe I might have found something," came the muffled voice of Andy.
Shadow spent the next minute to pull himself free from the pile. He hadn't realized that he had dug so far down. When he finally managed to free himself, he nearly tripped on a diet coke can. He managed to catch himself before he fell, and then blow the can into teeny tiny pieces with a quick chaos spear.
With that task done, Shadow turned to looked at Andy. The former machine held up what appears to be a simple toy squirt gun.
"That's very nice, Andy. But didn't Steven give you something like that for your third birthday?" Shadow asked dryly.
The child hedgehog shook his head slightly as he said," No, this is the device Eggman use to turn adults into babies."
To prove his point, the former machine turned the device on a stray, normal, still on four legs dog, and fired. Shadow watched, with growing interest, as the 12 year-old dog was bathed in a white/pink beam. His jaw dropped ever so slightly when he saw a puppy, about 2 mouths old, in the place of the dog, once the light died down.
"I think you better give me that," Shadow told his son strictly.
Andy just nodded, and handed over the device. The younger hedgehog then yawned again, and decided to head to bed. Shadow watched as his son tiredly walked back into the house through one of the holes that Shadow has made.
Once he was sure that Andy inside, Shadow turned to looked at the pile in front of him. By now the puppy had moved up, and would probably be picked up by someone soon. Shadow could care less about some dog. His thought were on the grandson of the man who created him.
So, Eggman was behind all of this. Somehow, Shadow should have realized it a good while ago. Even back when Shadow had worked with the doctor, he was forced to take out the trash a couple of times. Of course, he just put up with it until his plans were carried out.
Shadow suddenly yawned himself, having the events of the last few hours quickly catching up with him. He decided to put things on hold for the rest of the night, and get some sleep. Luckily, it was the weekend and he didn't have to go to work. The tired older hedgehog walked up his home, and stepped through the first hole he created some time ago.
"Father, Maria was trying to pull this out of one of your suit cases," Andy said, holding up a checkered Chao egg.
Shadow's eyes snapped opened when he saw that thing. It was the egg that Maria has laid with that faker's freak of a Chao, Zombie. And it was probably what Maria has been searching for this entire time.
Speaking of Maria…the dark Chao suddenly appeared from nowhere, trying to grabbed the egg. Shadow wouldn't allow that. He didn't want another freaky Chao running around. So, he wiped out his red Chaos Emerald and Chaos controlled in front of his son. Still, Maria was closest, and that was enough to grab the egg before Shadow came out of his chaos control.
Maria, in a clever move, shoved her weight, and the weight of her egg into the older hedgehog just as he came out of his Chaos Control. Shadow, stunned by the move, fall backwards, loosing his grip on the items he has in his hands.
The two objects, ironically, landed near each other, namely the Chaos Emerald landed in front of the baby making ray gun. The fall cause a short in the ray gun, causing it to fire…right into the Chaos Emerald! A charge built up for about 15 seconds before firing a chaos amplified beam of energy. And the energy hit right at Omega's recharging chamber.
The ray gun completely shortened out after three seconds of continuous fire.
The room suddenly grew silent, as the two hedgehogs stared wide eyed at the chamber where their robotic family member sleeps, or whatever a robot does when he's offline. The only sound echoing was the beating of Maria's wings, as she use this to escape with her egg.
"Omega!" Shadow screamed as he scrambled to his feet.
The older hedgehog hurried over to his friend's side with his son close on his heel.
"Omega, are you-," Shadow stopped in mid-sentence when he say the state his friend was in.
"Father! How's-," Andy jaw dropped to the ground when he saw his second parental figure.
Without wasting time, Shadow spun into action. Traveling at near sonic speed, he gathered up his emerald, the ray gun, and Omega. He then made a hastily exit, ironically, creating a third Shadow shaped hole in the wall.
"It's just not possible. Mister Prower said it himself," Andy ponder softly to himself, looking out at the hole his father just made.
(About 30 seconds later)
Shadow found himself in the mysterious and beautiful Mystic Ruins, running through the familiar landscape. He ran on a mental course, taking the needed twists and turned, eventually reaching where he wanted to go.
The work shop of one Miles Prower, best known as Tails.
Shadow ran up to the front door, coming to a complete stop right in front of said door, and begin to slammed his fist against it.
"TAILS!! Open up, TAILS!!" Shadow continue pound on the door until he heard some low mumbling.
A few seconds later, a very sleepy looking Tails opened his door, slightly glaring at the ultimate life form for interrupting his sleep.
"This better be good, Shadow," Tails said in a low voice.
"Just look, Prower," Shadow replied pointing down to thing in his arm.
Tails looked down, and his eyes nearly snapped opened completely. In Shadow's arms was a sleeping toddler, about two years old. Odd thing about this toddler was how he looked. He like a mix between a bat and a hedgehog. He was mostly bat, but the hedgehog part shine through in his quills. He was mostly red with patches of black around himself. His quill, surprisingly, looked like a downward vision of Shadow's quills, only the color was reversed with the quills being red with black straps.
Finally, this toddler was finally dressed. He wore pants that were mostly red, but black around the ankle. He wore a red tee-shirt with black sleeves. He also wore gloves, but there were gray in color and has sharp ends. He has shoes on that looked like black visions of Shadow's shoes, only without the rockets. Finally, he wore a set of cylinder red bracelets, with a red Omega symbol on the front of each bracelet.
"Who is this, Shadow?" Tails asked, nearly fully awake now.
"It's Omega!" Shadow replied hastily.
Hearing that, Tails become fully awaked and invented Shadow into his house, asking him what happened.
(Writer's corner)
If anyone is wondering about the Chao egg, I have an idea. A Chao egg can remain alive for countless years as long as there is a Chaos Emerald around. And since Shadow keeps one with him, the Chao in an egg can remain alive for years without hatching. Oh, and StarVix, if you don't approve, I would take this story off in a heart beat.
