Time after time, there is always a disaster or force that threatens our world. Explosives, guns, fighting, all and many more make us pit ourselves against our enemies. Except every time it happened there was the heroes who sacrificed their own lives for the good of others. Like Sonic The Hedgehog, the fastest thing alive. When he came across Brandy Harrington, at first she was just a normal person, but he grew to be her friend. On the other hand, there's Shadow The Hedgehog, The Ultimate Life Form.
A lone wolf character, created to fight and the knowledge of the chaos emeralds. This gloomy hedgehog was someone with barely no friends, that is until he met Kuki Sanban of the Kids Next Door. At first he had no feeling towards her, but just like sonic he later stood to protect her no matter what. Now after countless times these two groups fought against forces beyond their belief, but they never left each others side. What if these four had to meet? What would their purpose of seeing each other be? It all starts in the mystical Amazon Jungle.
The sun shining bright in the day, the tree house where Brandy and Sonic live at for the moment. Brandy was in her recliner chair reading one of her magazines. The door opened, sonic walked in. He stretched his arms and yawned. "Where've you been?'' brandy looked up from her magazine. "I was out running, you know daily exercise.'' he walked to the bathroom and shut the door. Brandy sighed, she looked at the burlap sack with the seven chaos emeralds in it. She put her magazine down and walked over to the counter. She opened the sack, there were the emeralds glowing. She set them all out on the counter aligned in a straight line. Brandy then heard a buzzing noise coming from outside. She walked to the window, flying across the sky was Eggman! In his hover ship, following him were a group of egg gunners. "It's Eggman!'' she exclaimed. Quickly running out of the bathroom came sonic, the seven emeralds came to him, a bright flash he went super and pushed through the door following Eggman to where Sonic's demise shall be there waiting for him.
Sonic flew low in the jungle so his robots wouldn't spot him. "What are you up to?'' sonic whispered. Hours passed and sonic still flew behind Eggman's trail. Sonic stopped in a part of the jungle, he made his way through the brush. Sonic pushed some of the bush aside. He gasped, in front of him was a large temple, but what really surprised is the amount of robots surrounding the place. Eggman landed in his hover ship. He got out of the machine and walked inside the temple. "I'll wait awhile.'' sonic said to himself.
He waited for two hours, sonic was dozing, he heard loud noises. He stood to his feet, he saw bright flashes resonating from the inside of the temple. "Alright.'' he whispered. Sonic hovered up from the ground and made a mad dash to the entrance. Sonic's super form was lighting up the dark hallways he traveled through. Sonic took a left, but when he saw egg gunners at the end of the hallway he took back behind the wall. The robots looked down the hallway and saw the gold glowing at the end of the hall. "What is that?'' one of them said with its robotic tone.
"Oh snap.'' sonic noticed what was going on. The robots marched down the hall, sonic then clenched his fists and drawled all the energy inside himself. The glowing stopped, the robots turned their lights on. Sonic was no where in their site. Then a bright glow came from behind them, the robots turned around hastily but sonic speared through both of them dismantling the two. "Piece of cake.'' he remarked. Sonic walked aimlessly through the halls avoiding any other patrols inside. Sonic then came across a large room. "Whoa.'' he said. Spanning around the room were wires, metal tubes, and coils all running into the machine in the middle of the room. There were three metal hook like objects aiming into the middle of the machine. Sonic walked toward it, he took careful steps. When Sonic was walking across it, a glass bubble close around him. He punched every side of it, nothing worked. "Curiosity killed the hedgehog.'' a voice said. Sonic looked to one of the entrances, out came Dr. Eggman.
"What are you up to fat man?'' sonic asked threatening. "No need to get rash, just stay comfortable for the moment.'' Eggman smirked. Eggman stepped in front of the bubble incasing sonic. "Why did you come here, may I ask?'' said Eggman. "Your never up to good, so yeah I couldn't let this pass.'' sonic responded. "Hmph, very well.'' Eggman turned away and walked over to a panel. "This machine with it's power can force anyone even you, out of their super form.'' eggman chuckled. Sonic widened his eyes, "Have you ever been forced out of your super form sonic? It's excruciatingly painful.'' he laughed. Eggman grabbed the lever on the panel and pulled it down. Inside the bubble were a few bolts of blue lightning.
Suddenly seven blue bolts of lightning struck sonic. He screamed in pain, it was the worse feeling he felt in his whole life. The blue bolts started retracting out of Sonic's body, at the tips of each were the seven chaos emeralds. Sonic was back in to his normal self. The area started to shake, chunks of rock started to fall from the ceiling. The cables and wires started to snap from their position. "What is happening?'' eggman panicked. Sonic was still in the bubble, the emeralds started to go back inside of him, then they quickly came out over and over again. The temple was on the brink of imploding.
The emeralds rapidly entered Sonic's system and out again. Eggman ran outside and hopped inside is hover ship and took off. A sudden explosion came. A blue beam of light shot up into the sky. The beam ran for a few seconds then vanished. What once was the temple was nothing but rubble. Sonic's hand raised out of the rubble then the other. He got out of the pile of rock. He was pretty beat up, bruised and dirt spots on his body. He limped off the ruins of the temple and onto the grass. "Owww, my stomach.'' he put both his hands on it. "I gotta get back to brandy.'' he said to himself. With that he took off running, but not too fast because of his injuries, not knowing that a force inside his body was waiting to be unleashed.
Sonic's constant running began to tire him out, what?! He never felt this way before, each step caused more pain. He stopped and started limping while putting his hand on his chest. Sonic put his hand on a tree and started having blurry vision. Sonic looked behind him to see the sun fading under the horizon. Sonic stood back up and continued walking despite of the sharp pain in his stomach. The moon revealed itself. Sonic fell to the ground, he rolled on the ground. "What's happening?'' he said. His shoes had small spikes run across the top, he got on his knees and let out a loud shout that echoed across the jungle.
Brandy woke up, she was in her pajamas. Brandy looked out the window, seeing birds hastily flying out of the forest. Then a thundering roar came. Brandy walked away from the window, she locked the door and sat back on her bed with many things to worry about. Eggman who was welding a piece of technology, he stopped when he heard the gristly roar. "That's not normal out there.'' said Eggman. "Send out five squads of egg gunners and two squads of egg titans, now!'' he ordered. "Something's out there.'' he said to himself. Brandy put her robe on and head out into the jungle. Rustling noises sounded all around her.
She heard explosions and something that sounded like something being thrown to the ground. She followed the source, what really caught her was the upper half of a egg titan landing in front of her. She looked closely and saw three slash marks in the middle of its chest. She then started running until she came across a large silhouette smashing the robots that came at him. The beast grabbed an egg gunner and ripped it in half, an egg titan fired its rockets two hit the creature. It growled and lunged until he tackled the robot. The beast started ripping out everything in the center of the robot.
Two egg titans charged at it, the monster shoved its two fists into the two egg titans power cores and ripped them out. A bright explosion fired, brandy gasped. The creature had dark blue fur, razor sharp claws, and the same with its teeth. It was wearing shoes although they were a darker red, they had spikes along the top of the shoe. Brandy couldn't believe what she saw: It was Sonic. She took a few steps back, but she stepped on a twig which made a snap sound.
The new sonic beast ears perked up when he heard it. Brandy started running of course to get far as possible. However sonic was swinging from branch to branch following her. Finally sonic landed in front of her. She fell back to the ground staring at the new and deadly sonic. It was doing a good job of showing his teeth with drool dripping from his mouth. "Sonic…what happened…to you?'' she calmly said. Sonic just roared in a angry mood.
Brandy stood up slowly trying not to provoke him. She held her hand up and put her hand on his cheek. His obsessive growling stopped. He then whimpered, he put his large hand on the spot where her hand was. Sonic then picked her up and ran through the jungle speedily. "Well he still has his speed.'' she thought to herself. Sonic came to a sudden stop in front of the tree house. He put her down, brandy walked up to the ladder and turned around to speak, but sonic was already gone.
Across the country in Afghanistan, in the middle of the desert area was a U.S. military base. At the shooting range, a soldier had trouble firing his weapon. "Man what's wrong with this thing!'' he shouted. "Let me see it.'' someone said. Some of the soldiers looked to see who it was. It was Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow took the gun from his grasp, shadow surveyed it. "I have an idea.'' shadow told him. Shadow then crumbled the gun up like it was nothing. Shadow held his hand out to the left and another gun appeared in it. "Use this one.'' shadow handed it to the soldier.
"Thanks sir.'' the soldier thanked. Shadow smiled then walked away and watched the soldiers fire at the distant targets. "Shadow, Sir.'' another soldier came "Yes?'' he responded "General Richards is here, he wishes to speak with you.'' he explained. Shadow then walked to the tent the general was at. He went inside. Inside was sitting the general. "Ah shadow, please sit.'' the general told him. Shadow took the seat in front of him. "You wanted to see me?'' shadow reminded him "Oh yes.'' the general took out a map.
Shadow looked to see it was a map of a town. "So what's the deal?'' shadow asked "Well there is a disturbance at this town, we need you to lead our force in and secure the town.'' Richards said "What're we going up against?'' asked shadow "Well, terrorists nothing a hedgehog can't handle.'' he joked "Yeah not literally though.'' shadow replied. "Anything that Eggman might have to do with this'' shadow asked "No, we have no Intel of what Eggman's been up to, so don't worry.'' Richards said. APCs were ready each filled with soldiers ready to fight. M1A1 tanks came as well. For Shadow he went to a garage. Inside was his black G.U.N. motorcycle. On the left and right sides were his dual MP5s. He got on, revved the engine and rode out. He stopped outside the base. "I'll be back someday Kuki.'' he said in his head. Shadow was about to leave, but when someone cried his name. He looked over his shoulder. It was Richards, "This is a note for you, from a friend of yours.'' Richards saluted him, shadow back and rode off. He saw on the front of the letter it said TO: Shadow FROM: Kuki Sanban.
He rode along side the convoy of vehicles while reading the letter. It said;
Dear, Shadow
I hope your alright, ever since you defeated Eggman you've been off helping the military. Promise me that you'll write please. I miss you shadow.
Sincerely, Kuki Sanban
Shadow smiled, then the communicator on his bike came on. "Shadow we're approaching the town, get ready.'' the person said. Shadow put the note in a bag on the side of his bike, he saw in the distance the town. "Alright everyone, we got forces going in through all the major entrances of the town, with shadows help this should be easy.'' the soldier said. Then explosions started raining down on them, "What the hell!!!'' one of the soldiers yelled over the intercom.
"They got artillery, everyone spread out!'' shadow told them. The APCs and tanks moved out in a wider pattern. "First battalion here we made it in.'' the commander said "Second battalion in as well.'' the other said. "Shadow get your forces in there!'' general Richards exclaimed from his ear piece. Enemy soldiers waited on top of the outside buildings. They fired RPG's. "I've had enough.'' Shadow jumped off his bike, his hands glowed. He fired a barrage of chaos spears impacting the outer part of town. Shadow landed back on his bike and skid to a halt at the left side of the entrance of town.
He watched the APC's move in followed by the tanks. Shadow went in last. The soldiers charged out of the APC's and started firing immediately at their targets. Shadow stopped and saw a machine gun nest pinning down a group of American troops. Shadow revved the engine and sped towards it. Shadow placed a satchel charge on his bike, he then jumped backwards off it. The bike went spiraling into the machine gun nest then a ball of fire sprang into the air. Luckily shadow brought his MP5s before jumping off his bike. Shadow took cover behind one of M1A1's. The sergeant in command came to shadows side.
"So what now?'' shadow asked over all the noise. "We have these key spots of buildings we can take care of, but your target is a munitions depot in the center of town.'' the sergeant explained. "Alright, you do your job and I'll do mine.'' shadow yelled. Shadow teleported away into another part of town, he took cover behind a wall and looked around to see nothing but quietness.
Shadow was about to walk out when terrorists started firing on his position. Shadow chuckled, "Fools.'' he said then shadow teleported. He appeared behind a terrorist and fired into his back. More soldiers saw it happen. Shadow quickly vanished again and appeared overhead. Shadow fired three chaos spears in the group sending them flying all around the place. Shadow landed back on the street and headed for the munitions depot.
Shadow kicked the doors down with his two MP5s pointed forward. Shadow walked inside. "Where are those weapons?'' he asked himself. Shadow came to a larger door, he opened it slightly then all the way. Inside were crates of weapons and explosives. Shadow came to a crate which was dusty. He wiped some of it off. He widened his eyes, it was Eggman's symbol.
"General Richards, the munitions depot in this town are actually a cache of Eggman weapons!'' he spoke fast "How can that be? There's no way eggman would be siding with people?'' Unless…'' general Richards stopped. "What is it?'' shadow asked demandingly "The enemy must have stole his weapons, eggman must be on his way there!!'' Richards exclaimed. Shadow ran to the window and opened it, outside the sky was filled with a whole army of egg gunners. "Oh crap.'' shadow said grimly. "General call your men back I'll handle this.'' shadow said.
"No Shadow retreat back no-'' shadow took the ear piece out and crushed it in his grip. Shadow stood inside with the explosives. Shadow took a deep breath. He teleported on top of the depot. He put his guns down. He clenched his fists, they started to glow furiously. "CHAOS SPEAR!!!'' he fired hundreds of them into the sky at the egg gunners. Most fell down like flies. Shadow picked his guns up quickly. He saw driving away the U.S. soldiers knowing that they'll at least be safe. Shadow saw a red glint coming at him, it was Metal Knuckles!
"I'm tired of these damn things.'' Metal knuckles came shadow charged up at him as well. Both hit each other hard that they both were sent flying opposite ways and crashed into two different buildings. Shadow got up from the wreckage. Metal knuckles came and tackled him into the rubble. Shadow grabbed his neck and threw him through a wall. Shadow came but ended up blocking his strikes. Metal hovered up then dive bombed his elbow into his head.
Shadow attempted to get up, but metal took care of it by kicking him in the face. Throwing him far back. Shadow looked up and saw metal with his razor claws ready and he charged. Shadow rolled to the left and threw a grenade below metals feet. It detonated firing metal up through the ceiling. Shadow teleported on top of the building. Shadow sent lefts and rights, kicks at metals body. Shadow swung his fist in a circle then thrust it across metals face. Metal crashed through two walls then fell outside onto the street. Shadow sped through the holes then lunged down at him. Metal introduced his uppercut sending shadow flying all the way back onto the roof of the depot. Shadow woozily got up and jumped inside the depot.
"Come on you piece of junk.'' shadow whispered. In front of shadow, metal dug his claws through the floor and up onto the floor shadow was on. Shadow wasn't there though. Metal turned left and right scanning the area. Metal turned around and saw shadow come at him, glowing red around his body. "CHAOS BLAST!!!'' The depot lighted up and a huge cloud of fire shot up into the air. All those munitions were gone, but what of Shadow? Darkness was all he was seeing. "Am I dead?'' shadow's voice said.
"Where am I?'' he said again. His vision started coming back to him. He saw people looking over him. They were a group of children from the town he was just at. The children looked scared of him, shadow looked up, he was in a large tent that spanned widely. He saw more beds and medics checking wounded soldiers. He lowered his head back on the pillow "Well at least I'm safe.'' he thought.
The kids then ran off, they saw general Richards coming. Richards stood next to his bed. "Good afternoon shadow.'' he said smirking "Very funny, now what happened?'' shadow asked "Some of our scouts saw the explosion from the town, they called us and we sent a search party out to find you.'' Richards told. Shadow sighed, "I need a vacation.'' he said with a exhausted tone "The ultimate life form doesn't need vacations.'' Richards jokingly said. Shadow chuckled a little, "Oh and shadow you have some visitors.'' said Richards "Visitors?'' shadow said confusingly. Shadow looked to the entrance to the tent and standing there was Kuki Sanban.
She had her hands clasped until she ran over to his side and hugged him fiercely. "Looks like I don't need to write back.'' shadow said "I've missed you soooo much though.'' she began. She pulled apart from the hug and wiped some tears away. "We thought it would be nice if you could see one of your friends.'' Richards spoke up.
Kuki noticed the bandages across shadows body and the bandage across his forehead. "What happened to you?'' asked Kuki "There's no way simple weaponry could've hurt shadow.'' she said stunned "Actually yes simple weaponry did injure me, it was Eggman.'' "Well he has no simple weapons!'' she exclaimed "His robots came to fight me, leading them was metal knuckles.'' shadow told her "I trapped him inside this towns munitions depot-'' "Wait, who's munitions did it belong to?'' Kuki interrupted "Just a bunch of terrorists, anyway I used my chaos blast and along with me the whole place was destroyed, somehow I lived.'' shadow finished. "I'm just glad your okay.'' Kuki said relieved.
"General you said I had "visitors" where's the other?'' asked shadow "Oh yes, um come in here miss.'' he called to the tent entrance. Shadow looked and saw a person he doesn't even know: Brandy Harrington. She walked over to his bed, "I need your help.'' Brandy said.
