All right, kiddies. Here's yet another story of mine. I got the idea for this after watching Mission Impossible 2. The whole 'brand new hyper deadly desese' idea really appealed to me. So, here's my own twist on the idea, one that will leave the ending in your hands...
Ladies and Gents: The Minotaur!
X-X-X-X-X-X
Sonic walked into the kitchen of his apartment. As he entered, he was greeted by the smell of bacon and syrup. The room was basic, holding a round table that sat 4, a couch and TV, and a small kitchenette where Shadow was just finishing their breakfast.
"Morning Sonic," Shadow said without turning away from the stove. "Ready for pancakes?" Sonic just licked his lips as he sat down at the table. Shadow brought over the plate of pancakes, along with a cup of coffee for himself, and some hot chocolate for Sonic. The two ate in silence, and before long they were done. After the meal they just sat across from eachother sipping their drinks.
Sonic and Shadow had been dating for almost a year now, but hadn't told anyone. Sonic was the real reason they'd keep their love a secret. At first the blue hero thought being gay would hurt his image, but to help calm him Shadow told him that it would help other gays be more comfortable with their identity. Still, Knuckles was a bit homophobic, never exactly comfortable with the idea of 2 people of the same gender sleeping together, and if Amy found out...let's just say we don't want another crazy person plotting to kill Sonic.
"So," Shadow said after awhile, "You up for visiting Apotos today?" Sonic just shrugged as he focused on his mug. "We could get one of those Chocolate Chipped Cream Sundae Supremes you told me about. From the way you described it, it sounded like you almost enjoy them more than chili dogs." Sonic just continued to stare at his mug, until it was shattered by a chaos spear.
"Shadz, what the hell?!" Sonic asked, rather annoyed, "I thought we agreed no more using cups for target practice." "Sonic," Shadow replied with a hint of worry in his voice, "Something's wrong. I can tell by the way you're acting. What is it?" Sonic just sighed.
"It's Eggman." Sonic explained after a minute. "There's been nothing on him for the past 6 months. He hasn't even come looking for you, and although I know how many times he's tried to kill me, I'm worried for him." Shadow nodded before making an offer. "I'll go check in on him, and then meet you in Apotos. Sound good?" Sonic agreed, and after the dishes were done, and the broken mug in the trash, Shadow chaos controlled over to Eggman's base.
X-X-X-X-X-X
When Shadow arrived at the base, it was surprisingly quiet. You could hear a pin drop if you tried, and that meant something was wrong. Shadow knew from past experiences that It never took The Doctor more than a month to draw up blueprints, and after that his base just got busier and busier as he built whatever his doomed plan was. If things were this quiet six months after The Doctor's last defeat, then something was very wrong.
It wasn't hard for Shadow to find Eggman's quarters, and when Shadow opened the door he got a real shocker. Stuck in his bed was the brilliant Dr. Eggman, and from all the equipment that surrounded the bed, it looked like Eggman was sick. Very sick. "Shadow?" The Doctor managed to ask "Is that you?" Shadow approached the bed, but halfway across the room Eggman forced himself up, stopping Shadow dead in his tracks.
"Don't come any closer." The Doctor instructed, "I'm sick Shadow. I know you, being the Ultimate Lifeform, don't get sick, but this disease is something new, something diffrent, and I'm afraid only that young kitsune will be able to cure it. Be careful, Shadow. Not even you...you..." Before Eggman could finish his warning, he fell back on his bed, limp and pale. Blood started to run out of his nose and Shadow knew for him, it was over. Dr. Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik was dead.
