Chapter Two

Lord Shadow's Ambitions

Meanwhile, in the darkened areas, a dark castle stood amongst the dark city, inside a large room a black hedgehog with red quills dressed in black clothes and a red cape paced the area thinking hard to himself and looking around the dark room. His red eyes narrowed as he thought hard, "King Sonic" he growled, "King of Mobius, that bastard....one day I'll overthrow that faker, he was never meant to be King, how can that blue tryrant rule the Kingdom, when someone like me could...." he clenched his fist as he paced the room.

His ear then twitched as he heard the door open and the black lizard walked in and bowed, "What news?" asked Shadow looking down at the lizard as he rose his head, "I have been spying on the King my lord" he said, "I have information" Shadow nodded letting the lizard continue.

"…Sonic has been preparing his little girl for the throne, as it's her sixteenth tomorrow" finished the lizard. Shadow nodded again "So!" he said "King Sonic's having a ball at the palace huh?" In honor of this daughter's sixteenth" he looked up and his eyes glowed red. The lizard then arose, "thank you" said Shadow nodding at him "that will be all" the lizard bowed again and left the room.

As the lizard departed, a beautiful white bat dressed in a purple gown and dark purple robes appeared, "my love?" Shadow turned to her, "I have had news from the scouts on Activities in Mobotropolis" Rouge smirked, lowering her eyelids as she did, "and what is the news?" she asked walking over to embrace her husband.

"That the king is giving his daughter a ball in honor of her sixteenth birthday" Rouge smirked again as she wrapped her arms around her husbands neck and he placed his hands around her waist, "I have plans" said Shadow, "I will send another scout to the party under disguise so he can tell us what Sonic plans for his daughter, at sixteen she is becoming of age and preparing for the throne"

Rouge smiled again "and when he, the spy goes to the palace, he shall kill Sonic and his daughter too?" she asked "No not yet…" said Shadow smirking seductively as he began to waltz with his wife around the room, "I shall after the scout has returned with news I shall send Angel to the kingdom to spy, he is now of age" Rouge nodded "our son…." She smiled "he is sixteen a strong young man" Shadow smiled again, then turned to a rat who was standing by the door, "You!" he barked at the rat, the rat stood to attention, "find my son and ask him to come here"

The rat nodded then turned from the room, he then ran through the halls till he got to a room, he opened it, the saw inside the room was a young black hedgehog doing push ups on the stone floor with one hand behind his back. As he was doing that a rough looking rhino was watching him.

"Good work Angel" said the rhino, "you sure are becoming as strong as your father" Angel then up and stretched making his muscles flex, "thank you" he said, "I hope to be as strong as him one day" the rhino smiled then looked up to see the rat standing there.

"Angel" said the rat, "your father wishes to see you" Angel nodded "thank you" he nodded at the rhino then followed the rat to his father's chamber. When they got there, Angel walked into the room; he saw his father and mother waltzing in the room still smiling seductively at each other.

"Mother" he said "father" as soon as he spoke the two stopped dancing, "Angel" said Shadow, Rouge then walked over to Angel and stroked his quills, "ah, my handsome son" she said, Angel smiled at his mother then looked at Shadow "you summoned me?" he asked, "yes I did" said Shadow, "we need to talk about your coming of age" Angel nodded, "ok father"

"You are now sixteen years old my son" said Shadow "and you have grown into a strong young hedgehog" Angel smiled as he heard his fathers words, "and we, your mother and I have decided, that you are ready to be part of the spies and assassins of the rebels"

Angel beamed when he heard that, "you mean I will be what I have always wanted, and what you have promised me?" Shadow nodded, "yes my son" he said "we have decided you are now ready" Angel nodded, "I feel ready father, ready to overthrow King Sonic" Rouge smiled as he rubbed her son's shoulder, "then it is decided" said Shadow "We shall hold a ceremony for you tomorrow" Angel then bowed "thank you father" he said.

So the lizard was one of Shadow's spies! And now Angel is to be given the honor of becoming a top assasin!

Hope you like!
