Shadow's Christmas Carol
Chapter 2
The mall on Christmas Eve was a madhouse. This is especially bad if you happen to work at the mall. Silver was working as a security guard to pay for his Christmas shopping. Silver was constantly getting knocked about and trampled by insane shoppers. Silver took shelter in the security office, desperate to get away from the maniacs.
Silver sat down, exhausted. "Being a security guard is hard. At least it's my last day."
The office chair was very soft, and Silver soon fell asleep. While he was sleeping, Scourge the Hedgehog and his Suppression Squad stormed into the mall.
"Alright, everybody out!" Scourge demanded. "Do as I say or else blondie here gets a makeover." He gestured with a knife towards Boomer, who had the blonde hedgehog from Shadow's house in his arms.
People started to flee the mall, not wanting to endanger themselves or the poor hedgehog. Suddenly, a fire ball exploded next to Scourge, knocking him to the floor. Blaze followed by Cream ran up to him.
"Let her go and get lost" Blaze ordered.
"Get out of here you big meanies!" Cream added.
A whimper stopped them in their tracks. Boomer had a knife of his own and was pressing it against the golden hedgehog's throat.
"Move and she dies" He hissed.
Miles and Fiona stepped forward and grabbed hold of Blaze and Cream, tying them up and bringing the hostage count to three. By now the mall had emptied out, and the Suppression Squad was in charge.
