I own nothing. I only own the plot and a laptop to type this.
Hello, readers! I have decided to enter JazzHeart's contest! You'll see who it's about in the story. Enjoy!
o.o.o.o
I sigh as I am teleported back to the stage entrance. I stretch my arms and crack my white-gloved knuckles.
I was just called to perform Chaos Control on another brawl.
I don't understand why I wasn't accepted as a Smasher, but they accepted Sonic. I am just as good, no, better than Sonic. I growl under my breath at the thought.
There is an upside, though. I can still continue my rivalry with Sonic. Next tournament, I will be accepted. I know it.
Speaking of my rival, Sonic runs up to me. "Hey Shadow!" he greets me in his usual cheerful tone.
"Hello, Sonic," I say.
"Do you want to race?" he asks enthusiastically.
"Sure," I say coolly. If I beat him, maybe I'll have a better chance of getting into the next tournament.
"Great! C'mon, let's go outside!" he says. He dashes outside so fast that, to the normal human eye, he looks like a blue blur.
Not to me. I could see him perfectly as he runs off. I run after him.
Sonic is waiting for me outside. He has drawn a straight white line on the ground. There is a camera next to the edge white line "How about we race around the Smash Mansion about… eight times?" he suggests.
I nod. "Sure," I say.
We stand side by side.
"I'll count," I say.
Sonic nods.
"3…" I start.
Sonic bends his knees, stretching one of his legs behind him. He puts his hands on the ground.
"2…" I continue, smirking. I will win this.
Sonic seems excited.
"1!"
With that, we both dash off at the speed of sound.
The wind whips my face as I run as fast as I can. I glance next to me.
Sonic is right next to me. He seems determined.
After a minute, we reach our final lap.
I see the white line. I feel a sudden burst of speed as I rush towards it.
Sonic is running right next to me, seeming more determined than before.
We pass the white line.
I stop, panting slightly.
Sonic stops a few feet away, panting slightly as well.
"Let's check the camera to see who won," I say.
Sonic nods.
We walk over to the camera.
Since the camera was recording the whole time, I rewind, then press play in slow motion.
The camera shows that we pass the finish line… at the exact same time.
"It's a tie!" Sonic exclaims.
"No really, Captain Obvious," I say sarcastically.
"Good race, Shadow!" Sonic says enthusiastically.
"I will beat you next time," I say.
Sonic chuckles. "Well, bye Shadow!" he says. He waves before running off.
I smirk as I watch him go. One thing's for sure, our rivalry will never end.
o.o.o.o
And that's that! I hope you enjoyed it! Sorry it was so short… Wish me luck!
