Before I start the story I need to say I don't own any of the characters ( I did create Deathstorm but anyone can use him if they want.) they all belong to Sega (except for the Zelda characters who belong to Nintendo). Also the story stars sonic but shadow and link tell the first two/three segments. Also this is a Sonic fan fiction not a Zelda or both, I only brought them in because I need the triforce to tell the tale.

Ultimate

Character intro:

Hello my name is Shadow; Professor Gerald Robotnik created me about 50 years ago on the space colony "Ark". I have many fond memories of the ark. Sadly the military troupe G.U.N. landed on the colony about one year after I came to life. The professor told us to get to a causal as soon as possible. But when we got to a lab with one the door was being rammed only one of use would be able to escape. Maria suddenly activated the capsule around me. I was in shock; I did not want to leave Her. All she asked was that I keep the people on Earth happy. Than she sent me off and I never saw here again. The professor was captured and I was found in the capsule. Because I was still not compete the professor became mad and made me think Maria asked for revenge. Later I was encapsulated and Professor Gerald was killed.

Three weeks ago I was released from my imprisonment by Gerald's grandson Dr. Eggman Robotnik who wants nothing less than the world. Believing Maria wanted Revenge I tricked Eggman into helping me activate an Armageddon program Gerald designed. Luckily for everyone a young female hedgehog named Amy Rose helped me to remember Maria's true promise to keep the people on Earth happy. I helped Sonic battle the biolizard. And before Sonic and I warped the ark back to orbit with the chaos control I nosiest that I was right next to the real ultimate life form.

Unlike Sonic I did not warp into the ark but started to fall to Earth. I know what to do. But before I used the chaos control to get to down to ground a blur rush out of my armband, it was a exact replica of Sonic except for his eyes which were filled with pure hate. I than went out cold. When I awoke I saw Sonic above me shaking my body till he knew I was ok. I told him about the dark hedgehog, after that he told me I could have one of his tax-free rooms at the SS hotel. At that moment the dark Sonic attacked caring Knuckles the Echidna another friend of Sonic's who protects Angel Island. He turned out to be a reborned Professor Gerald. Sonic transformed into an unknown form "Light Sonic" and defected Gerald. We placed the emerald he was trapped in within a deep cave in the mystic ruins. Finally I could keep Maria's promise or so I thought.

Part 1 - Peace to War:

It has been about a week since Gerald was defected. The Gang and I where at the local fast food restaurant talking about are resent trip to twinkle park. "Man…" said Sonic " I don't think I'll every get sick of that roller coaster ' Hoops o Death' its such a great ride." I just sat there eating my cheeseburger. I nuttiest that the young fox Tails, who was like Sonic's sidekick, was walking to the restroom. Than I said "Hay, Sonic I was wondering, how did you transform into "Light Sonic" I mean you've always turned into "Super Sonic" and that was with the chaos emeralds. You did even have them but you turned into a more powerful form it doesn't make since".

Sonic replied, " Don't know, must have been a extremely powerful force though." I knew that we would soon know. What was weird to me was that I thought the chaos emeralds were more powerful than all the other power sources combined, or were they. "Sonic I am going to the library. Maybe I'll bring back some info on it." I started to air skate to the library. When I got there I found a book called "The legend of the seven sages." In the book was information on a land called hyrule. There lied the triforce, three triangles with unlimited power, one triangle had the power of courage, the second had the power of wisdom, and the tired had only pure power. I remembered the unfinished poem Knuckles told me. "The servers are the seven chaos, chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart, the controller serves to unify the chaos…" Than a trigger snapped. "The missing part of the poem must have the answer. I raced back to Sonic to tell him what I learned but I was suddenly hit in the head by a black figer.

Part 2 – Deathstorm:

The Black figer came into focus after a few seconds. He was a black hedgehog who looked almost exactly like me but his from his forehead to his nose was red and his white fur was shaped like a skull. "I see my copy is doing very well for himself." He said, "Finally got some friends, a nice place to live, but there is one thing that will never happen."

"Who are you, how do you know me, and what do you mean there is one thing that will go wrong?" I asked in a harsh tone.

"Your promise for I am going to kill you know." He raised his hand into the air clanging on to a huge knife. Suddenly I heard the voice of the ultimate life form " Oh no you don't." The figer turned but before he lad eyes on Sonic he was hit with a homing attack.

"Ah, Sonic the hedgehog nice to see you. I hear you're quite a pest."

"Who are you, what do you want."

"Oh, I'm sorry," said the black hedgehog " I am the true ultimate life form, I am known as Deathstorm. And what I want is nothing less than to be the ruler of all life in reality. " Than Sonic cried "Sonic Wind." And a gush of blue wind cycled around Deathstorm but then Deathstorm held out his hand and the blue wind became a sphere of energy. "Attack control!" the energy than hit Sonic high up into a skyscraper.

"Ha, You think I am as weak as all the evils you've faced. I am more powerful than even the chaos emeralds. Well it has been good toying with you but I must be going." I stared was he more powerful than the emeralds, how could he, they have unlimited powers. Sonic was starting to look injured but he started to run towards Deathstorm.

"Leaving already the party is just starting." Said Sonic as he made a huge leap to the evil hedgehog.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Deathstorm vanished.

"Sonic, how'd he use the chaos control without a emerald." I asked. Sonic replied, "I'm not sheer but he spells trouble to me big trouble." I stud there, what was going on, does it have to do with the poem, the sagas, the triforce, Light Sonic, how'd he know me and Sonic, Why did he want to kill me, how powerful was he. Right than I didn't know he was part of me.

Part 3 – 50 years ago:

That evening Tails, Sonic, and Me where talking about our new foe. " He seems unstoppable." Said Tails. Sonic gave him a duh kinda look.

"Tails, please tell me, how many times have I defeated a faker like him. Lets see Silver Sonic, Metal Sonic, Mecha Sonic, Hyper Metal Sonic, even…aaa…" I knew who the next one on the list was.

"Me." I looked at Sonic. Had he forgiven me for real, I haven't apologized after all.

"It's okay, Shadow." Sonic seemed like he could read my mind. " It was a misunderstanding."

"Ya, well I am really sorry, I created a lot of pain for you all." I was beginning to fell relived; I finally could push the event aside. Than suddenly I was hit in the head but not by Sonic or Tails.

"Professor Gerald Robotnik!!" said Sonic in a shocked tone. I don't blame him. He was supposed to be imprisoned within the dark emerald. "How'd you get your fat butt out of that emerald?"

"Oh it was all thanks to Deathstorm. I am now helping him conquer the planet. But he can tell you himself." Right than Deathstorm appeared.

"Gerald I would like to speak to them alone." He said in a mater of fact tone. Then the Professor ran outside.

"Well Sonic, Shadow nice to see you again."

I than outburst "Earlier what did you mean copy, why'd you try to kill me."

"Oh…" he said " Well It all starts hundreds of years ago. At that time I was known as the Satan's Son I was so feared. Those where good times for me. I could kill a lot of people fast." I stared at him. I knew he was mad. " Alas all great eras end. I was defected by the one who had the most powerful source in reality."

"The chaos emeralds." Sonic said without thinking.

"No. This power makes the emeralds look like ordinary rocks. Anyway he inprisoned me within the deepest of dungeons of the hyrule castle. But about 60 years ago. I escaped and found out about the ark. Gerald was creating a new ultimate life form. I didn't want any fake screwing up my plans so I sent G.U.N. an anonymous e-mail telling about you, Shadow, but I told them that Gerald would use you for world domination. Ha fools. When I heard you where free 50 years later I was enraged all my work was for nothing. Than, oh than I saw another danger. And that danger was more deadly to my cause than you Shadow. That danger is you, Sonic." He turned to face Sonic. " I knew if I could kill Shadow you'd be to busy morning over your lost friend. So I acted. But it doesn't mater for soon, really soon, I will rule Earth!"
