Shadow 2
Chapter 1
A Dark Legacy
Westopolis was once again in peace, erecting a statue in honor of their savior, Sonic the Hedgehog, who had just built a home in the plains outside their fair city. Although Sonic himself had been too busy to attend, likely having something to do with Amy Rose, one of his allies could attend. But this ally wasn't there to enjoy the moment. He was there to mock it.
"HA! You really think Sonic is all that don't you? Not honoring this cities original hero? Not honoring the Ultimate Lifeform? Well honor this!" Shadow quickly flipped off the construction crew lifting the statue and began to walk off in a huff. " Why cant they honor me, huh? I'm just as good as Sonic if not better! If I had ahold of the Super Emeralds I could beat him down without trying.." As Shadow marched off, he was blind to an approaching storm, its blood red clouds quickly gathering over the city. Just as the eye of the storm formed, Shadow noticed the reddened tint to everything surrounding him. He quickly looked to the skies just in time to see very familiar alien creatures falling from the eye. Their dark grey, scaly skin and blood red markings instantly struck fear into the citizens of Westopolis, and hatred into Shadows heart. The Black Arms have returned.
"Damnit! I thought I destroyed them all!"
"You didn't" Shadow heard a deep threatening voice behind him, one that would forever rest in his mind as the voice of a ruthless killer of men, women, children, and lovers. He turned around to stare into a set of three eyes he could have sworn he knew all too well. But it was not Black Doom. This one was the size of an average Black Soldier, but with Dooms eyes, his horns, and long elastic arms with three pronged tentacles on the end.
"And who might you be?" Shadow took his battle stance, prepared to fight to the death, ignoring the soldiers, clearly recognizing this one warrior as their new leader. The three eyed menace turned to him, his blood red cloak moving as a wisp of smoke.
"I am the son of Doom, Black Death. And you must be Shadow. Killer of my father and my brethren. I must say, I'm impressed that you were capable of killing my father. But you had only begun to see his power. My father was a god, and we are here to resurrect him!" Shadow immediately reached for his wrist to detach a ring, but Deaths reflexes were faster. He quickly opened the mouth concealed by his tentacle, and expelled an odd black ink. The ink splashed onto Shadows wrists and ankles, coating the rings an a thick black film, which quickly turned solid. Shadow tried to remove the blackened ring, but it was no use.
"What have you done?!" Shadow angrily inquired Death to answer him swiftly, and he did so.
"I simply sealed your rings. Without them, your greatest power is of no use. And without that power, you have no chance of defeating me!" Death began to laugh maniacally, then slowed it into a chuckle before leaving Shadow with his last remarks, as a large battalion of Black Arms soldiers surrounded them. "Before long my father will be revived. And you will be the first to experience his wrath. My father WILL have his revenge!" Death quickly disappeared in a flash or bright red light, leaving Shadow to face his worst nightmare with only a fraction of his power.
