Chapter 2: A Fool's Tools

"APRIL FOOLS SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!"

Shadow merely held a stupefied expression as another flash went off. "What?" Everyone soon stopped laughing and Shadow remained frozen.

"That was THE most best prank I've ever done, and I've done some pretty good pranks on people." Doom began choking while trying to laugh. After catching his breath he grabbed a zipper at the top of his head and began unzipping it to show it was a cheeky faced Sonic, a smirking Blaze, and a grinning Silver within the suit.

"B-But you're supposed to be dead and..Eggman..Mephilles...what's going on here?!" Shadow glared at everyone around him as he rose from the ground clenching his fist as it sparked with chaos energy.

Sonic laughed as he hopped down out of the suit and rubbed his nose. "Well you see, me and mostly everybody else came up with this huge plan. To prank one of the most unprankable persons ever and who better then the most solemn, and antisocial person in the world."

Sonic grinned as he pointed a finger to Shadow. "You, Shadow the Hedgehog."

"But how...how did you even do all of this!?" Shadow gestured to everything around him still fuming but beginning to become calmer.

"Well actually it wasn't easy...really it took not only a lot of work getting this all set up, but keeping you from even finding out about it at the same time." Sonic laughed as he rubbed the back of his head in his characteristic way.

"Explain now Hedgehog!" Shadow growled as he cast his face down.

"I think I can do some of that...

Shadow turned his head and nearly lunged at the bloated man floating down to their level.

"Seeing as how I was the genius able to make all of this possible." Eggman chuckled as he soon stepped out of his carrier and stood in front of Shadow with one of the most smuggest expressions he ever had.

"Originally I laughed at the idiocy of some stupid prank, but soon came to a point where if I could make one of you Hedgehogs look embarrassed in front of millions, then I'd do anything possible to have it."

"Ahh shucks Egg-head, if you wanted to recreate Jackass with me all you had to do was ask." Sonic laughed which in turn made Eggman glare at him.

"Ignoring that blue idiot, I offered my assistance by creating holographic images of my Egg Armada, the Black-Arms Invasion, and the Black Doom suit that they wore...

"While me and Silver created the blasts and effects you saw." Blaze laughed as they shed the rest the suit off showing Silver holding blaze on his shoulders as they flew.

"I did the voice seeing as I had the best Black Doom voice out of everyone." Sonic laughed as he rubbed his nose.

"But that doesn't explain Mephilles, your death, and the world catastrophe." Shadow pointed out as he soon began piecing things together.

"Well, that's where I came in..

Shadow turned his head and once again gritted his teeth at the one person second to the Hedgehog he hated seeing. "Mephilles." He growled.

"Oh come now Brother, it's like these Earthlings say...All's fair in love and war." He chuckled as he walked over to the Sonic still lying on the ground. "You see, I contributed to this prank by killing this...fake Sonic which actually was one of my clones and the fake Emerald you saw which was just some of mine and your Chaos energy." He laughed as he picked up the 'Sonic', which began morphing into a Mephilles.

"Shame I didn't use this trick at an earlier time."

"But you should be dead!" Shadow growled again as he clenched and unclenched his fist.

"Dead!? Hahaha, please...my essence lives within many time-streams and universes. So coming back was but a cinch."

Shadow rubbed his temples starting to understand. "So let me guess whereas Knuckles and Rouge somehow where able to bring a cataclysm to the city. All of the citizens just played along?" Shadow looked in Sonic's direction for confirmation.

"Well yes and no, like I said everyone helped and G.U.N. was a big help in causing some of the destruction to unused buildings during the whole fake Armada thing. So by bringing an ending to the world, leaving it without any hope for saving, and partnering with some of the most dangerous villains. All of this...was just to prank me?!" Shadow seethed as his quills began rising and sparks flowed around him.

Everyone began backing away except for Mephilles who was still laughing as if he where watching a comedy play out in front of him.

"Well...yeah...but it was just for fun and it's tradition ya know..." Sonic sweat dropped remembering just who in fact they just ridiculed.

Shadow clenched his hands and looked down as wind began to pick up. "CHAAOSS..." He drawled it out, loud enough so everyone could hear.

Everyone gasped knowing with the current weather change and the way the energy radiated off of him, he was about to unleash one of his most deadliest moves.

"Uhmm Shads you wouldn't be doing what you think you are?" Sonic frighteningly laughed as he began to slowly back away. Shadow merely gave him a grin which said 'try me' as the ground began t rise around him and he glowed red.

"I TOLD YOU WE SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE HIM SONIC!" Blaze smacked Sonic as her eyes blazed with the same fire that she wielded.

"Well I didn't know he would get that angry!" Sonic sorrowfully chuckled as he shrunk away from Blaze.

Everyone looked at Sonic with a 'really' kind of look as he shrunk even more from their gazes. Immediately everyone was screaming and starting to run away as a small crater soon formed under Shadow.

"OKAY SHADOW I'M REEEEAAALLLLY SORRY, CAN YOU PLEASE NOT KILL US?" Sonic pleaded as he got on his knees and everyone wondered why he wasn't running away from the blast radius.

"...Control!" And he was gone in an instant as everything soon resumed to normal.

Sonic continued staring at the spot Shadow was before doing a worried laugh and falling over.

"I think...Shadow just pranked us."

Somewhere Else

Shadow appeared act least a mile or so away in an alley and leaned against a wall. He wanted to chuckle as he remembered the look everyone had when he fooled them but couldn't as he remembered what happened to him.'

'He had been pranked.'

Not only that, but it was a prank so good, so brutal that his image had just received the biggest blow since the whole saving the whole world incident. He didn't prefer that good of a reputation.

He slid down to the concrete and looked down. What was he to do? If he showed his face, he would surely be laughed at, not that anyone would be stupid enough to do it directly in his face.

Then it struck him. That's what he had to do, if he wanted to not only clear this moment off of history but to also get back at everyone who had wronged him he would need to play their little game but ten times better.

He smirked as he grew a look burning with determination. So the world finally wanted to see the real side to Shadow the Hedgehog? Well they've just made the biggest mistake in their miserable lives, especially that stupid Hedgehog who would be the first on his list...Sonic.

-2 Days Later-

"Do you think we went to far? I mean he's disappeared for the past two days." Tails looked up to Sonic worried as they strolled down the now repaired streets of Station Square.

"Come on, I think it's time for Shadow to start understanding the meaning of a joke." Sonic shrugged as they soon stopped in front of a chili dog vendor.

Tails chuckled and shook his head at Sonic's antics. "Well, maybe you should understand to not rely on chili dogs to much."

Sonic turned to him and jabbed his finger at him. "Don't say that, if anything were to happen to chili dogs, I don't know what I would do."

"Well maybe if you treated Amy like you did this food, you two could probably get somewhere." Tails smirked.

Sonic almost dropped his chili dog and simply chuckled. "What makes you think I like Amy like that, she's just a good friend is all." He gave the money to the vendor who he did not notice gave a evil grin under his hat.

Sonic and Tails continued walking as they soon saw Rouge and Amy laughing amongst each other. "Their goes your chance Sonic." Tails grinned.

Sonic merely shook his head as he finished off the rest of his chili dog. "Hey Ames, Rouge."

They turned with a smile and began walking towards them as Sonic waited for them. While waiting though, his hand shot for his gut which Tails noticed. "Uhmm, you okay Sonic."

He merely chuckled before catching himself. "Sorry, that dog just isn't going down right is all."

Amy and Rouge soon came up on them and gave a smile to each of them. "Hey Sonic, Tails where are you guys headed."

"Nowhere just headed back to the workshop, probably try and find Shadow again." Sonic shrugged.

"I'm actually starting to get worried for him, he doesn't usually do things like this." Amy said with a worried expression.

"Don't worry knowing Shads he's probably just trying to get his pride back is all." Sonic laughed.

Rouge smiled at him nodding in agreement. "I wouldn't be to surprised if he...

*gurgle gurgle*

Everyone stopped and looked at Sonic who sweat dropped and shrugged. "Sorry I just ate something was all."

Tails laughed. "I told you, that you should quit on those chili dogs. They're not always good for you."

"C'mon Tails we all know Blue boy here would give an arm just to have one of those so called delectable foods." Rouge laughed as Sonic pouted.

Amy soon joined in as well and Sonic soon began chuckling himself. They all stood their laughing as everyone looked at them as if they where crazy. Soon everyone stopped laughing except for Sonic who soon looked at everyone staring at him.

"What?"

"Did you just...fart?" Tails gave him a confused and grossed out look.

Sonic gave a shocked look as he began to laugh. "What? Come on what would I do that for."

"Well you did just eat a chili dog." Rouge shook her head as she covered her nose.

"That doesn't mean any...

*Fart!*

Everyone soon moved away from Sonic as they all covered their noses. "Woah, Sonic!? You really need to stay away from those gassy foods."

"It wasn't my fault I think their was something in that chili *fart* dog." He sweat dropped as they all ran from him.

Sonic quickly gripped his stomach as everyone gave him a look while covering their nose. "Something wasn't right with that chili dog." He soon took off faster than he ever did as small stink bombs kept being heard as he sped away.

The vendor soon chuckled as he saw the dust cloud Sonic made and secretly hid the laxative inside of his apron and lifted his hat a bit to reveal ruby eyes.

"And now the games begin."

Thus the pranking can commence. Poor Sonic, guess he'll be dealing with a very 'stinky situation' for the moment.

Who will be Shadow's next victim and what does he have in store for everyone who has wronged him. Read to find out, and remember if you got any pranks then don't be shy. Everybody's getting pranked whether they be hero, enemy, or just random person.

See you next chap;)
