Disclaimer for all chapters: We only own the plotline, nothing else.
This story is centered on an idea that was created when someone suggested a team up with two main characters from two different stories. Sora Shimomura (main character of the fic Ghost Rider for the Kingdom Hearts section… yes, you read it correctly) and Sonic Suai (main character of Sonic the Hedgehog: Secret Identity, in the Sonic section… duh). So we decided to write a team up, this is aimed to be 10-15 chapters long.
Michael Connor Fri made the plot for Ghost Rider.
Mark Angelus Fri made the plot for Sonic the Hedgehog: Secret Identity.

Midnight Oblivion
By Michael and Mark Fri of Black Scepter
Chapter 1: Party crashers
Night. The time when the sun falls into a deep slumber, leaving the world to survive the darkest shadows alone. Night is the veil of darkness that the light leaves us to, but with the promise of returning again. That's what the Moonlight Festival is about, the darkness of night, the veil of shadows, and a promise of slumber. That's what Sonic Suai and Maria Robotnik were doing on that fateful evening, joining the festivities of the Moonlight Festival, or as Sonic calls it; a celebration of the lousy moon!
"Isn't this great Sonic?" Maria said, pointing over to the floats that were coming by.
"Yeah they're great… but the floats remind me of a certain Christmas Parade from Time's Square, minus the jolly fat man," Sonic grumbled, eating a corndog.
"Oh don't be bitter!" Maria snapped, "I got you your corndog right?"
"True…" He acknowledged, walking through the crowd.
Maria sighed and guided Sonic to the sidewalk, where they could have a great view of the parade. They watched all the floats pass by and gave their comments on the ones that were awesome, and the ones… well, they needed work. Finally, the last float was coming by; it wasn't extravagantly decorated or anything, it had a chair in the middle, and a girl with short dark hair and wearing a white dress was waving to the crowd.
"Hey Sonic, isn't that Yuffie?" Maria asked, pointing towards the girl.
"What is she doing up there?" Sonic gasped, recognizing his fellow classmate.
"Her family started the festival years ago," Maria explained. "The role of Midnight Queen is passed from mother to daughter; looks like Yuffie got the title this year."
Yuffie looked excited from where Sonic was standing; he gazed at her as she waved to the crowd, but then this feeling came out of nowhere… was it fear? It was fear, and a sense of foreboding… something was going to happen tonight.
Yuffie tried to look excited about being here, but she was thinking differently. She didn't want to be the role of the Midnight Queen, she didn't even want this to begin with. But her parents were adamant about her taking on the role. They had assured her she would only need to do it for this year if she didn't like it. All she had to do was wave to the crowd, walk up to a mock stage, and accept some odd medallion in the shape of a moon. Simple and yet boring.
Finally, the float stopped in front of this mock stage in the middle of the road. Yuffie stepped off the float and onto the stage, walking up the steps towards a podium that was on the stage. A man in a white priest's robe stood in front of the stage, bowing to her when she made it to the podium.
"Queen of the eternal night, do you accept the Lunar Pedant and bring peace during the dark evening before us?" The 'priest' asked.
"I do," Yuffie answered, mentally pleading for this to end.
The priest handed her the necklace and she took it quickly. She slipped it around her neck and turned to the crowd, waving at them like she was supposed to. God this is soooo boring, I wish something interesting would happen. Just then there was screaming coming from the crowds, she turned her head and gasped: black creatures were running through the crowd and leaped onto the stage, surrounding her.
More black creatures popped up and started attacking the crowd, forcing everyone to panic and run around. Sonic looked around the crowd to try and find where the creatures were coming from, but then he saw something move on the rooftops above him. But it was so dark he couldn't see who it was, and Maria yelling in his ear didn't help.
"Sonic! We have got to get out of here… Sonic?" Maria looked around, Sonic had disappeared.
She tried to find him, but then an officer grabbed her arm and pulled her away before the black creatures could find them. Sonic was in the alley across from them, sorry about this Maria, but duty calls. Sonic pulled off his jacket and his shirt, grumbling mentally, this can't be how most superheroes do this…
Yuffie tried to find a way to escape, but the creatures had cut her routes of escape and kept her boxed in. She stood in the center of the circle, hoping that none of the creatures would jump her or anything. Then she heard a sound from behind her and looked at the podium, a black portal opened from the ground and a figure in a black cloak rose from the ground. His face was concealed by a black hood and he stood next to the creatures, apparently he was their master.
"Ah the Midnight Queen, forgive me if I do not bow," He chuckled evilly. "I have come for the key to the only element that can kill the eternal night: the god of the sun; Solaris."
The key? Solaris? Yuffie thought, stepping back in fear. The man in the hood walked towards her, holding his hand out to her.
"It's time to come with me… or I let the Heartless rip you to shreds and I take the key for myself," He growled.
She wanted to run, more than anything, but the creatures behind her were tensing up, ready to pounce when ordered. She sagged her shoulders in defeat and was about to take his hand, when there was this sound of whistling wind rushing around her. Then a blue blur of wind rushed around her, forcing the creatures and the man to back away in fear. Then the blur leaped up to the top of a building and stayed there, a smallish figure standing there.

"Pretty snazzy intro you have there!" He called out, just as the searchlights shone on him.
The smallish figure was a blue hedgehog with white gloves and red sneakers. He looked at the group on the stage and gave a cocky grin.
"Like my intro line? I got it from one of my own video games," The hedgehog chuckled, just as the creatures shot out balls of dark energy.
He leaped right before the balls hit him and landed on the stage, a bluish jewel shining in his hand. Then he glowed with a blue aura and leaped around the area, slamming into the Heartless and taking them out, within seconds the he was done and the Heartless were defeated.
He landed right next to Yuffie and grinned, "I'm Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog!"
Then with lightning fast speed he ran towards the shadowed man, but then the shadowed man raised his hand and caught his fist. He pushed Sonic away towards Yuffie, he narrowed his eyes at the shadowed man.
"I see you're going to be one of those unstoppable dudes right? Well, lucky you I have a plan…"
Before the man could do anything he picked up Yuffie in his arms and yelled, "Run away!"
Then he took of in a burst of speed, the shadowed man saw the blur moving on the sidewalk and growled, "Oh no you don't, get him!"
Just then more black creatures rose from the ground and launched black energy balls at Sonic. The blasts fell short and just slammed into wall behind him, shattering bricks from buildings and destroying the sidewalk behind him. Yuffie let out a yell fright and clutched onto Sonic tightly, who gave sly grin at the enemy and began to run faster, leaving the shadowed man and the Heartless behind.

As Sonic and Yuffie ran away from the shadowed man a figure watched them from the building top, he folded his arms and smirked as he watched the hedgehog took off.
"Sonic the hedgehog… I've wanted to meet you for awhile now," The figure said, as smoke began to rise from his black, spiked leather jacket.
Then his head caught on fire and burned away to reveal a skull with red orbs for eyes and flames around its head, the he leaped off the building and landed on the ground, creating an impact crater as he landed. He walked over and got on a motorcycle that was dark blue with flames on the wheels and two yellow eyes on the headboard. He gunned the throttle and took off down the road, leaving a trail of flames behind him.
Michael: That's it. If this story seems a little confusing for you then check out the fics Sonic the Hedgehog: Secret Identity and Ghost Rider, they're on our profile page.
Mark: The next chapter will be written by me, so I hope I do well.
Michael: Interesting note: Jun Senoue who is in charge of the music for the Sonic the Hedgehog games, is a member of the band Crush 40. It was started by him and their lead singer, that's why they do a lot of the songs for their games.
Mark: Please review and comment, ideas are welcome, flames are not.
