Part 9: The Dark One Returns

Location: Ice Cap of Mobius

Time: 9:00 a.m.

Somewhere in the land of Mobius, a mysterious man in a dark brown cloak walks through the wintry land of Ice Cap carrying a bag behind his back. He soon stops in a clear area as the wind blows the snow in a wild motion. He drops the bag down on the ground and removes the contents of the bag to reveal…The seven Dragonballs.

The man smiles a wicked smile from underneath his cloak. "Who would ever known that these Dragonballs would show up here on Mobius. How lucky could you get."

The man then places the balls in order as the balls pulsate a bright glow. He the extends his hand outward and then shouts out "Come to me Eternal Dragon!"

The skies darken, the wind stops, and suddenly a bolt of lightning hits the Dragonballs! The man pulls back his brown cloak to shield him from the intensity of the light. After the light had died down the suddenly notices the Eternal Dragon in front of his own eyes.

"This is so magnificent! Never in my dreams I could see the Eternal Dragon before my very eyes! Hahaha!" The man spoke out.

"I aM ThE EtErNaL DrAgOn! I WiLl GrAnT OnE WiSh AnD OnE AlOnE…WhAt Is YoUr WiSh!"

said the Eternal Dragon.

"Eternal Dragon, I want you to give back the life of the one who will destroy everyone in the world. The power of the Chaos emeralds they have been depicted in ancient Mobian history! Bring back the one named Shadow!"

"It ShAlL Be DoNe!"

A bright red beam emitted from the dragon's eye and engulfed the entire area. Once again the mysterious man shielded himself as the glow slowly deticipated.

"It Is DoNe!"

The man turned toward the direction of the light and saw a figure standing a couple of feet from him. But he knew who it was…

"Hahahahaha! So you finally come…Welcome back, Shadow!"

The figure turned around to the man with his bloody red eyes looking back at the cloaked man. Shadow was alive again. He took a look at himself examining his body. He was the same as before. Black fur, his gloves, his superpower rollarblade shoes, and his oddly pointed quills running from his back. He smiled and evil smile and looked back to the cloaked man.

"I am grateful for you returning me to this plain, who ever you are. Instead of killing you right now, I will do what ever you want me to. Just name it." Shadow said.

"Excellent!" said the cloaked man. "The first thing I want you to do is go to Robotropilis and participate in the World Martial Arts Tournament that's being held there."

"A tournament?" Shadow said with a puzzled look. "What is this so called tournament that is being held in Robotropilis?

"You will find out soon enough Shadow," said the cloaked man "and I also know that Sonic and his friends will also participate in the tournament as well."

"Sonic…" Shadow said as his eyes glowed bright red as he said Sonic's name. 'I can still remember what happened after the end of the ARK. I had to sacrifice myself for him and his friends. But they did nothing to help me! NOTHING!'

The cloaked man walked be hind him and spoke. "I know now that you will be able to defeat that pesky rodent for you death Shadow. Go and make sure you finish him and his friends off."

"That will be my pleasure!" Shadow said as he speeds off into the wintry plains.

"YoUr WiSh HaS BeEn GrAnTeD. FaReWeLl!"

The dragon soon disappeared into the horizon and the Dragonballs scattered throughout the planet Mobius. The cloaked man stood there silently in the snow as he chuckled and soon grown into an evil laughter echoing through the sky.

"Ehehehe…Hahahaha…AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

Location: Outskirts of Robotropilis

Time: 9:50 a.m.

The Z Fighters and the Freedom Fighters make their way out of the Great Forest and enter the outskirts of Robotropilis. They are soon surprised to see that there were millions of Mobians and Swatbots gathering around for the tournament.

"My god. Robotnik must be up to something if he got the attention off all these Mobians!" said Tails.

"What ever Ro-butt-nik is up to, well find out." Sonic said as he continued to walk into the crowd.

The gang walked into the crowd and looked around to see many Mobians training for the tournament. Some were boxers, karate fighters, kickboxers, and many more. There were also robots that were also participating in the tournament. But one robot in particular caught the eye of Sonic, who was exactly like him.

"Its Metal Sonic!"

The robot duplicate of Sonic turned around and gave Sonic an evil glare. "So we finally meet again rodent." Metal said in his robotic voice.

"What are you doing here cromedome. I thought Robotnik only wanted us to fight in this tournament." Sonic said with frustration.

"I'm just here under Robotnik's orders to participate in the tournament." Metal said with a grin on his metal face. "But there is also another one who will be joining me." He turned around to reveal a robotic look alike of Knuckles.

"Mecha Knuckles!" Knuckles said with a low growl in his voice.

"Well, well, well. Look who we have here. Knuckles and his friend trying to enter the tournament and lose!" Mecha Knux said with an evil smile on his face.

"Shut the hell up Mecha! I'll show you who is the strongest by beating the screws out of your metal body!" Knuckles said as he held up one of his fists toward Mecha.

"Oh sure you would. But words won't describe anything that what I can do to you!" Mecha said.

Steam poured from the top of his head as Goku and Tails held Knuckles back from beating up on Mecha.

"Hahaha! See how your friends hold you back. You'll just have to wait until the tournament Knuckle-head!" Mecha said laughing outloud.

"We'll see you at the tournament later, Sonic!" said Metal as they both left the gang alone.

"What the heck were those things?" said Goku.

"Those two were Mecha Knuckles and Metal Sonic. They are duplicates of Sonic and Knuckles which Dr. Robotnik created to destroy them." Sally said.

"Ha! Those two aren't any powerful than me!' Vegeta said with an evil smirk. "I can trash those two bots into tincans."

"Yea well, if I ever fight Metal in the tournament, I'll show him a thing or two." Sonic said as he cracked his knuckles.

"Oh is that so…"

The gang quickly turned around to the voice and the Freedom Fighters were shock to see…

"SHADOW!"
