Chapter 1: The Pick Off

Shadow's POV

Day 1

The stadium was quiet and dark, just how I liked it. We all had come together to participate in these games, even the villans had promised to not cause any havoc. I looked to my left to see Blaze, staring straight ahead. She looked as if she was ready to pounce into action at any moment. She turned her head to me and nodded. We had promised that if either one of us got picked as team captain, we would pick the other one to join the team. I nodded back and turned my head toward the front again.

I looked down the row of various animals and humans on my side that I knew too well. There was me, Shadow, and there were several others including Blaze the cat, Tails the fox, Amy the… well… whatever she was, Silver the hedgehog, Sonic the hedgehog, Vector the alligator, Eggman the human, Knuckles the enchinada (1), and even Metal Sonic had come.

Then I looked over at the other side of stadium, where ten people stood. I had caught some of their names, but not all. Apparently the tall man with the green cap that had an L on it was called Luigi and the small turtle was Bowser Jr. A camera panned around to show all of our faces.

The stadium around me suddenly erupted with roars of excitement. I looked forward again to see a small man wearing a white cap with blue spots and a blue vest and what looked to be a diaper (gross) came running in with a lit torch in his hand. He ran up to a very giant torch. He lit the bottom of the giant torch with the torch in his hands and we all watched as the flames licked up the side of the torch in a circular motion until they reached the top. The top lit up and a large flame sprang to life at the top of the giant torch. The stadium around me exploded with light and I squinted at the sudden light.

A loud microphoned voice came from out of nowhere. "Let the games begin!" The crowd roared even louder.

A parade of small tiny men (that looked a lot like the one that came running in with the torch) all wearing diapers (again: gross) walked in drumming on drums and playing trumpets. They played a marching fanfare and when they were done that voice that came from nowhere before sounded again. "Now it's time to draw four names from a hat to determine who will be the team captains! First up is… Shadow!"

I perked up at the sound of my name. I almost felt the edges of my mouth turn up into a smile but I quickly forced them back down. I waved to the crowd with one hand as I stepped forward.

"Next up is… Mario!" A short pudgy man that looked similar to Luigi but was wearing red, stepped forward on the other side and waved to the crowd.

"Then it's… Knuckles!" I looked to my far left to see the familiar red enchilada with those things on his hands step forward and wave to the crowd.

"Our final team captain is… Silver!" I again looked to my far left to watch as the silver furred hedgehog stepped forward and also waved to the crowd.

"And now it's time for our team captains to pick their teammates! Starting with Shadow!" the voice said.

My gaze swept over the 16 animals and people remaining. I know I promised Blaze that I would pick her… but… that Luigi guy… My eyes stopped at the tall slim man with the green cap. His eyes glimmered at me. He looks… promising. "I choose… Luigi!" As soon as the words came out of my mouth I regretted it. I knew what would happen if someone else chose Blaze to be on their team and I wasn't looking forward to it.

As Mario, Knuckles, and Silver all choose their teammates (thankfully none of them had chosen Blaze yet) it was my turn to choose again. I chose Blaze, to avoid the lecture I would get from her if someone else chose her.

Then when it was my turn to choose again. I chose Bowser Jr. He was feisty and had loads of energy. I wasn't really listening when the other team captains had chosen their teammates so I had no idea what we were up against.

I named our team Shadow Blaze, because it contained both mine and Blaze's names.

The Olympic Winter Games had begun.
