Shadow the Hedgehog

Kiler Instinct

Crazy for revenge? Or just plain crazy

As Shadow reached the source of the explosion he was met with a horrific sight. G.U.N agents bodies were sprawled along the street, almost drowning in their own blood. Cars and buildings were destroyed, smoke and bodies in the spaces where they once stood. And a green hedgehog standing on top of an overturned G.U.N jeep. Around him were several G.U.N agents, trembling with fear. One took out a walkie talkie and began to speak.

"S – sir, the target is t – to strong!" He yelled frantically.

"Fine, GET YOUR MEN OUT OF THERE ALIVE SOLDIER!" The G.U.N commanders voice was booming over the talkie. The soldier put away the device and yelled to his men.

"FALL BACK! I REPEAT FALL BACK!" As the soldiers began to flee, the green hedgehog's gaze stiffened.

"Oh no you don't fool!" he yelled in a maniacal tone before jumping off the vehicle and throwing it towards the soldiers. Suddenly, a black blur shot towards the jeep and caught it.

"Go, I'll by you some time." Shadow said to the soldiers. The G.U.N agent beamed the black hedgehog.

"Thanks agent Shadow!" Spawn's eyes widened. Then he threw his head back laughing. It was a dark and tormented laugh, filled with years of pain and sorrow. Shadow turned to face the laughing hedgehog.

"You... who are you?" He said coldly.

"My name is Spawn the hedgehog, my brother..."

"W – what!?" Shadow was shocked, but then again this creature could be lying.

"He was right about drawing you out..." Spawn seemed to be talking to no one in particular. Shadow narrowed his eyes.

"Who was right?" Just then Spawn snapped back into reality lunged towards Shadow. With a grunt Shadow leapt off the round just in time to dodge Spawn's earth shattering punch as it made impact with the road.

'He's fast...' Thought Spawn.

'He's strong...' Thought Shadow.

Spawn straightened up and faced Shadow.

"Not bad... but I'll prove that I am far superior to you shadow!" Spawn yelled.

'I can't risk any civilian casualties' Thought Shadow. 'I'll have to draw him away...'

"You're strong." Shadow began. "But are you fast?" Shadow skated at top speeds round the corner and began down the street. Spawn laughed mockingly.

"You don't know the half of it!" Spawn started up his hover skates and went after Shadow.

Back at club Rouge, a certain bat was busy shining her jewels. It was the way she always spent her evenings when she was alone. Just then her phone started ringing obnoxiously.

'I'm coming, I'm coming...' she thought.

"Hello?" Rouge said as she picked up her phone.

"Rouge, It's Sonic. Turn on your T.V!"

"Sonic? What are you –"

"JUST DO IT!" Rouge was cut off by a small outburst from Sonic.

"Alright, alright...sheesh, men..." The bat picked up her television remote and pressed the ON button.

Station square town centre has been completely destroyed today by a strange green hedgehog. Said hedgehog has murdered hundreds of citizens and G.U.N soldiers and was last seen chasing after the renowned hero Shadow the hedgehog. We will give you more details on this story as it arrives. Residents are advised to –

Rouge abruptly turned off the T.V.

"Sonic, we have to help Shadow!"

Shadow was startled at Spawn's speed, and even more surprised when he realised he was wearing hover skates.

"State of the art tech. Straight from the space colony. But you would know all about that wouldn't you brother?" Spawn's voice was filled with an obvious mocking tone. Shadow scoffed.

"I don't believe you're my brother... but what I do believe is that you stole those shoes from somewhere on ARK!" Shadow retorted quickly. It was almost as though he had been going through different scenarios in his head. Who was this guy? He couldn't really be his brother. Could he? After looking around a bit Shadow realised they were nearing the woods that surrounded the east side of Station Square.

'Good enough' He thought as he screeched to a halt. Spawn immediately followed suit.

"What was the point of that little escapade Shadow? I mean, what were –" Spawn immediately stopped and grinned, then he threw his head back and laughed.

"Shadow, you – you actually care about these earth creatures don't you!?" Spawn was still cackling as he spoke, while Shadow merely raised his fists and stood in a fighting stance.

"Let's go." He said through gritted teeth.
