Inspector Shadow

None of the Sonic characters, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Scourge, Blackdoom, Mephiles, and Silver belong to me. THE ORIGINAL IDEA AND CONCEPT OF INSPECTOR SHADOW DO NOT BELONG TO ME OR SWEETCORN-CHAN. INSPECTOR SHADOW IS BY "BRAINSCRATCH COMMS." Only the story of which we were influenced by the concept

Episode 4

Outside the Warehouse

"Hah, I swear, you two had the most priceless look on your faces!" Vector wasn't letting Shadow or Sonic off the hook, continuously teasing the two as the left they walked to their car.

Shadow groaned to which Espio digressed. "Alright, Vector, I'm sure you've butchered them enough already. Some of Black Doom's men could still be around so let's get back on our job." And with that, he slapped the croc's butt and giggled.

Vector chuckled at his partner and smirked a bit as he slapped his ass back, making the chameleon blush "Sooner we get this done then, the sooner you pay me back for what you owe." And whatever Vector meant by it, had the purple chameleon blushing a deeper shade than his skin.

Charmy waved to the two inspectors as he and his comrades went back to the scene. "See you around you two!"

Sonic waved back smiling unlike Shadow. "See you too!" Getting in Shadow's car, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. "Hm? Who's number is this?"

Shadow quickly intervened and looked over to his lover's phone as he got into the driver seat with some trouble thanks to his knight costume. "W-wait! Don't answer that-…" Though, he was a moment too late.

"Hello?" Sonic answered only to hear a light, innocent voice reply.

"Sonic? Is it you, Sonic?"

The azure hedgehog chuckled happily. "Yeah it is! Silver, are you okay?" He put his phone on speaker so the ebony inspector could also hear.

"That's great, and I'm okay! Oh yes, just to make it clear before I continue, Mephiles was able to find your number because he works at the same place Shadow does. He recently joined early morning so he apologizes for not having informed you earlier." The ivory hedgehog giggled a bit making a little noise over the phone as if someone else in the back was tickling him.

Shadow grimaced. "Hmph…Well, I have no clue what reason he had to pull that stunt back here."

A deep voice spoke next, notably Mephiles "I apologize for my brashness. I had undergone this case before you, so you were in the way of my mission. I couldn't have you jeopardize it with your…carelessness."

Sonic stuttered a bit feeling taken aback by what Mephiles had told them. "Ah, W-we're very s-mmmhph!?"

The ultimate covered his hedgehog lover's mouth, not wanting the other to apologize for anything. An enraged aura started to emanate from him. "Oh…Careless eh? And I'm sure you'd know plenty about that…Faker."

The 'faker' didn't seem too happy either. "Oh, I wo-"

But Silver had cut between them. "Oh yes! I uh…Would like you both to come to my Halloween party that Mephiles and I organized together! So, please come by as soon as you can so we can make the most of the day as possible!"

Sonic spoke up after removing Shadow's hand from his mouth. "W-We will!"

"Thank you, Sonic! See you two there!" Silver chirped, hanging up after.

Shadow however didn't seem too satisfied with Sonic's behavior on the other hand. "Sonic…since when did you two start getting so friendly with each other? Actually…isn't it I, as your superior, who should say whether or not it is okay for you to go to this party or not?"

The junior inspector began to sweat nervously as he put his hands up in his defense. "W-well, we should t-try to get to know them shouldn't we? And silver went out of his way even after what he's been through to do this…so...wouldn't it be terrible if we just flaked out?" Sonic gulped hoping what he said would help the situation at least.

The inspector stared for a moment before a scheming smirk formed on his muzzle. "Alright…let's go to that party then…"

The hedgehog felt unsafe from his lover's wrath though, and was he very right to be as he barely made out from reading the other's lips as he whispered,

"You better enjoy it while you can..."

-Moments later-

Having received a text of the address where Mephiles and Silver resided, over a secure server of course, the two stood at the door step of a house as normal and homey as theirs. Its walls were painted blue and its roof was a grey along with the front door.

Before Sonic could ring the doorbell, the front door opened and there stood the hedgehog Mephiles had rescued. Being that he was the one to walk out of the warehouse with him.

"Welcome! I'm glad you were able to make it." Silver exclaimed happily, his tail wagging in delight. He was dressed in an new outfit due to the "mess" he made of it. He was dressed as Little Red Riding Hood.

Shadow clicked his tongue. "Well, it was rather sudden but, we're here." His eyes were already scanning over Silver for the 'faker' currently.

Silver nodded. "We haven't been introduced properly since I couldn't talk before, and, this is my first time actually seeing you both as well." Giggling, he then started. "I'm Silver the Hedgehog!" He extended his hand out

Sonic replied. "I'm Sonic the Hedgehog, Inspector Sonic." He was about to extend his hand also until Silver was pulled away by another hand behind the door. "Huh?"

Shadow grimaced a bit. "The faker…" He said between his teeth as the door opened further, seeing a similar but pale green striped hedgehog dressed in a grim reaper outfit.

Mephiles stared into Shadow's eyes as his mouthless muzzle began to move while he spoke. "I'll let it pass this time Silver, but never answer the door without my knowing. It could have easily been one of Black Doom's minions. After all, you've never met these two."

Sonic shuddered a bit at the other wondering if he was still allowed to shake his peer's hand or not. "Um…-"

The ultimate cut in. "Shadow the hedgehog…as you already know. And…a pleasure to meet you too." He said with as much poison as he could in his voice.

The two began to glare at one another, the atmosphere becoming more and more intense as they continued.

Silver pushed his way between the two. "P-please you two…I just want all of us to get along and enjoy the party I set up for all of us. Please, we are all in this together, we aren't enemies." The rescued hedgehog almost was on the verge of tears which had quickly jerked away Mephiles' attention.

"Y-yes…Right. Yes I wanted to make up for my actions, and explain everything also. Please, come inside…" Moving aside with Silver, he finally let the other two into their home.

Shadow wrapped his arm around Sonic's shoulder and entered the home, only to receive a chuckle from his rival.

"Oh yes…and nice outfit. The look suits you, Sir Shadow." The look alike almost seemed to be smirking with his muzzle.

The inspector rolled his eyes as he took a deep breath containing himself telling himself to just take the compliment.

The four all went past the living room where there were little Halloween decorations about, some yummy treats and deserts, and two couches on either side, and went into the dining room where dinner was prepared.

Cutlery and dishes were all set up with a pie in the middle and a set of drinks to choose from, alcohol, soda and juice.

Sonic looked to both Mephiles and Silver who sat at one side of the table. "Which one of you cooked dinner?"

The two looked to each other before looking back, Silver answering "We both did. And we had just finished also."

"And what about Dessert?" Sonic continued as he sat down with Shadow.

Shadow answered for the two hosts however. "Bought." The inspector smirked as he crossed his arms and continued. "Within the amount of time they had after leaving, they had to buy the desserts first, then immediately prepare the chicken pot pie. By working together, it sped up the pro-"

The blue witch dressed hedgehog covered his lover's mouth with his hand ignoring the death glare he received from him. "So you guys made chicken pot pie huh? Shadow's nose is pretty good after all."

Mephiles laughed for a moment before nodding. "Yes indeed, I was preparing the pie crust this morning. Now…help yourself. I'm sure you both must be hungry after such a hard day."

Blue had removed his hand from Shadow's mouth and immediately grabbed the pie cutter to slice a piece for himself.

The inspector looked toward his look-alike and asked. "Mephiles. Do you ever find that you might need to discipline your partner at times and let them know their place?"

Sonic and Silver froze in place of eating the pie, having just stopped before forking a piece into their mouths.

Mephiles leaned forward resting his chin atop both his hands to respond. "All the time."

The two inspectors were most certainly smirking at each other, but the junior inspectors kept their eyes from them as to hide from the scheming eyes that laid upon them.

"Wow S-Silver…this is some really good pie…ahaha…" The azure hedgehog trembled physically and vocally.

The white furred hedgehog replied. "Y-yes…I g-gave it my all." He said no different than his peer.

The black furred hedgehogs gave their loved ones a break from their impending doom as they dug into dinner. "Ah yes, so to start off. I am an Ultimate, as well as that kidnapper, Scourge." Mephiles received the attention of both Sonic and Shadow whom listened intently.

"However, we aren't perfect like yourself Shadow. I only come extremely close…but I like Scourge, will degenerate with time, unless some way to prevent that is found. As you are aware of Black Doom's plan to create an ultimate that is perfect like yourself, he needs you to accomplish that."

Shadow sighed. "Hmph, and it's quite unfortunate he's a pervert monster too."

The incomplete hedgehog continued. "He does however, have one creation…no…I'm not sure what it is, but, he has something that may already be perfect…but I'm unsure whether it's an Ultimate or not. Whatever it is, he has been holding back on using it and he's confident it can do the job."

Sonic thought for a moment confused about the whole thing. "Wait…Is it some kind of trump card? He hasn't been playing us for a fool as he?"

The pale shadow look-alike shook his head. "Honestly, I think he's just an idiot or…I can't really imagine what he might possibly have planned with this so called trump card, but I feel it's already in play. He just has it on standby."

Silver decided to give his own input on the topic. "M-Maybe Black Doom thinks this is like a video game…M-Maybe."

Everyone looked to the stuttering hedgehog truly curious and waiting for him to continue…which had left him baffled that they didn't shut him down right there.

"He may just be starting small first while trying to go toward a bigger reward or trying things because he doesn't even know what may happen either. He could send someone new beside Scourge at us to see what kind of fun he could derive from it…or…he's just the least dangerous thing compared to what will be next to up his game."

Mephiles nodded in agreement with his partner. "That…does sound like a reasonable hypothesis. If any of those are accurate, it could help us prepare better for whatever he may attempt next time."

The hedgehogs continued to eat the chicken pot pie, finishing off what was left. Soon after, they were in the living room, both inspectors having a cup of tea, and their partners having cookies and cupcakes.

Mephiles chuckled as he brought up to Shadow quietly as to not catch the attention of the junior inspectors. "I've turned the basement into a bdsm room. We can dress them up a little more…erotically and go from there."

Sonic didn't pay any mind to the ultimates…but Silver had a good feeling he knew what was up.

"Sonic…we should get out of here while we still can…" The ivory hedgehog whispered to his azure friend.

The green eyed hedgehog stared at him and spoke out loud. "Huh, what are you talking about?"

Silver went to hush him, but as he did, he himself was hushed by Mephiles' hand. "RMMNN!" He tried to say run, though, it was already too late.

Sonic gulped as he saw Shadow already approaching him with a smirk. "Hey, want to see something very cool Sonic? Mephiles offered to show us…"

The two were immediately taken against their will down into the basement the degenerating inspector spoke of where Sonic stood with his mouth agape at the large amount of…"toys" that covered the walls of the room, as well as the theme itself.

Silver blushed deeply fidgeting about knowing that Sonic was about to see a whole different world.

That night had been a long night for the two victims, and not without plenty of enjoyment either.

End of Chapter 4 (until I update it)

Sorry everyone, I took incredibly long, but that didn't go without life getting in my way and motivation being lost along with it. I just couldn't bring myself to do the lemon scene on this one, I don't know why. But regardless, life has me in its grasp and it's hard to escape it. And I just couldn't get my motivation back up to write more…

I felt terrible about this chapter for the longest time. I have another fic on the side I want to continue but I'm trying not to get the plot and events mixed up. Thank you all for being so patient though, I really appreciate it. You've been waiting forever on this chapter and so have I…I'll have to update this at another time unfortunately.

For now, please be as patient. I'm terribly busy and can only write when I truly feel able to.
