A/N – OMG IM ACTUALLY POSTING SOMETHING NOW! amazing how life makes it hard to update anything :P

Anyways, my second story, this one being more adventure than humor. Also, it has an OC people will probably argue with... but whatever, since it's older than even Shadow. Enjoy! ^-^

A Fiery Revenge

Chapter One – A Devilish Message

Sonic sat in the shade of an old palm tree, relaxing as he watched the waves wash over the beach of Station Square. The ocean breeze blew across his face, and he sighed at the perfectness of the day, closing his eyes and kicking back.

"Hey, Faker." Sonic's sun – and his good day – was blocked out by the black hedgehog as Shadow walked up to him. "How's the world's blue blur, hmm?"

"Umm... Fine..." Shadow's mood still surprised Sonic. Ever since Tails revived Maria, Shadow's moody look on the world had improved... Somewhat. "You?"

Shadow grunted as he leaned on the palm tree. "Maria kicked me off the ARK again." Shadow rolled his eyes. "Apparently, she doesn't like it when I decide to "accidentally" walk in while she's showering..."

Sonic rolled his eyes and smirked. "Shadow, did it ever occur to you that you ARENT supposed to do that?"

The black hedgehog shrugged. "We used to bathe together when we were little, so its not like I haven't seen her naked before."

Sonic paled. "So..." he paused, then leaned towards Shadow after looking around, whispering. "Is it like anthros? You know, naked women..."

Shadow looked at the blue hedgehog in disgust. "Sonic! Really? I expected better from YOU!" He waved at two beach bunnies as they walked by. Then, when they were out of sight, he leaned over to Sonic. "And... its just as sexy." the two hedgehogs exchanged smiles, and laughed, enjoying the rare moment between them as the sun began it's decent below the horizon.

Meanwhile, on the other side of town, a blue blur rushed down the road, weaving in and out of traffic. The people of Station Square knew Sonic was in the area, so they just shrugged at it's passing, and continued on with their activities.

However, the blue blur wasn't Sonic.

And he wasn't friendly.

The blur rushed up a fire escape onto the roof of a fifteen-story apartment complez and screeched to a halt. The blue hedgehog, his quills streaked with reds and oranges, crouched on the edge of the roof, glaring at the passerbys below. "Look at them, acting all good and pure." he spat, and he continued in a voice dripping with malice. "All because their so called "Hero" is "good and pure". Hah. As if." He rose, standing at his full height, and smirked. "I should change that."

"And then, As he jumped the gap, Lucas yelled back "The Cake is a Lie!", running away from Ike." Sonic and Shadow laughed harder, holding their sides.

"Ah, man!" Shadow laughed. "They actually made the reference?"

"I said the same thing!" Sirens started to wail as several fire engines careened down the road, heading east. Watching them go, Sonic stood up. "C'mon, Shadow. With that many engines heading up town, there's gotta be a lot of work for them. It might be Eggman."

Shadow drew up to sonic, tapping his boots together to knock the sand out of them. "Well, Faker, what're we waiting for?" They took off, trailing after the engines towards the dark smoke to the east.

Shadow just shook his head. "Carnage like this just couldn't be Robotnik." he stared at the broken, burning buildings and the dead, mangled bodies.

"You're right, Shadow." Sonic was pale, having seen the utter destruction. "It's not his style. Sure, he doesn't care about casualties, but he DOES keep them low. This is just an execution.

"More like an eradication." Rouge walked up to the hedgehogs as Omega followed. She handed a picture to sonic. "And for a reason."

Sonic stared at the picture and almost lost his stomach contents. Shadow looked at him and, seeing his look, gazed at the picture, turning white. In the picture, several mangled and burned bodies decorated the ground. Even children weren't spared. All to spell out three venemous words

Sonic. Will. Die.

A/N – Wow! First chapter, and already a great plot, if I say so myself. Hope you liked it! ^-^

Also, for those of you wondering about the joke Sonic told Shadow, it was about a machinima I had watched called Smash Fighters, in which the Smash Bros. Characters were real people. I suggest watching it on youtube or .

Anyways, next chapter will be up soon... I think... knowing me that probably wont happen anytime soon... ^-^;; anyways, please review... you know you want to :P
