Shadow was setting up a trap in the woods, using the sharp metal strings and makes it almost like a spider web trap. Rouge was hovering in the air with her bat wings from her back, tying the metal strings on the tree barks, making sure they're tight and secure.
"Okay. We're good?" Shadow asked the bat.
"Yup. Looks good now" Rouge said, flies down to the ground.
All of a sudden, they hear a distant howl of a werehog coming from the very high cliff near the mountains.
The horses got spooked but stay calm that there's no werehog around and that it's far away from here.
Up in the sky at the mountains they see witches flying on their broomsticks to the Sabbath.
"Well" Shadow pats Sonic's chest, "Far as you go, kid" he walks up to his horse to grab something from the bag, "But…..I'll leave you with this" he takes out the folded unknown weapon, gives it a wave as it combines together into a shotgun. He gives it to the blue hedgehog.
"Wow" Sonic chuckled with a grin and held the shotgun.
"Find a place to hide. Shoot anything that moves" Shadow gave him instructions and he nodded.
"Got it" Sonic said.
"Good luck" Shadow said. Walking up to Rouge that is carrying a bag with the strap on her shoulder, "Ready?" he asked her and she nodded.
"Hang on tight" Rouge said and gives Shadow a lift as she flaps her wings, flying up to the mountains.
At the Sabbath, many witches arrived in as they all wait for Muriel to be here soon. There were a few witches with different attire that resemble from different countries that they're from. Some had disorders and some look very freaky.
The horned and redhead witches had Amy in their grip, walking up to the chains to tie her up but she was struggling too much.
"Shut up! Stop moving around!" the horned witch snarled and punched the pink hedgehog's stomach.
"Ugh!"
They managed to put the shackle cuffs on her wrists near the boulder stone where the metal chains are attached.
Silver had the children in slavery shackles, bringing them along to the execution stance near the cauldron. The little rabbit girl was terrified at seeing the witches looking at her. The children were also scared too.
Muriel in her witch form arrived just in time to prepare for the ritual as soon as the moon turns red to become a Blood Moon. She casts fire on the block of woods to heat up the cauldron.
"After tonight, no sister will be burn from the fire!" she said to the witches and they all listened, "No sister will be ashes on the ground!"
The witches all nodded and continue to listen while waiting for the Blood Moon to approach.
"And now…" she continues and they hear what she has to say, "NOW WE FEAST!" she said and the witches cheered and cackled evilly.
Shadow and Rouge were watching them from their hiding spot. Shadow realized that Rouge was right when she said there would be a lot of witches.
"That's a lot of witches" he said and crawls down on the rock pavement, "Okay. I'm gonna go down around the other side. If you see my signal" he pats on the rapid fire machine gun, "Unleash Hell. Wish me luck" he said and about to walk away.
"Wait. Wait, what's the signal?" Rouge asked and Shadow turns around.
"Oh, it will be me. Blowing one of these bitch's heads off" Shadow told her and walks off with his shotgun to get ready to go down there.
As the Blood Moon approached, Muriel smirks evilly that is finally here.
"Yes. The hour…."
"…..HAS COME!" the witches finished her sentence.
"Blood Moon arrives! The Grand…..White…Witch….dies!" she points her dagger at Amy.
They all cackled out loud. All of a sudden, they hear a gunshot from Shadow as they all stopped cheering. They all glanced at Shadow with the shotgun held in the air when he made that noise.
"Excuse me! Excuse me, ladies!" Shadow grinned at them, "Hi"
The witches all looked at him and held their staffs in defense.
"It seems if I have lost my invitation to your little dinner party here, I apologize" Shadow said as he continues to talk.
Amy smiles that her brother is alive and ready to kick some witches ass.
"But no worries" Shadow held his gun to aim but he did not fire just yet, "I didn't come empty-handed"
Muriel rolled her eyes at this, "Sisters! Allow me to introduce you to the famous witch hunter Shadow" she said and the witches gasped and glared at Shadow with anger, "Personally responsible for the deaths of over 600!" Muriel said.
They all scream and snarl at Shadow for what he has done; Shadow growled lowly and held the shotgun over his shoulder, "Listen to me carefully!" he said to them all as it got their attention, "If you let my sister and the children go now! I'll consider not killing each and every one of you" he said but that made the witches laugh.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"ENOUGH!" Muriel yelled at them to stop laughing which they all did. She looked at the Redhead Witch, "Kill that fucking hedgehog" she told her.
"With pleasure" she said and walks up to the witch hunter, holding up her new wand as it glows red. Amy saw this and is now getting worried for her brother. As Shadow aims his weapon at the witch, she chuckled evilly and is ready to kill him.
"Please work" he whispers to himself. Just as the witch was about to cast her black magic on him, Shadow fires his shotgun at her. Her head explodes but not her whole body. The witches gasp in horror as the witch's headless body collapse on the ground.
As Rouge saw the signal, she prepares the machine gun as it loads up. The witches heard it and looked up to see her ready to fire. She fires and the machine gun was shooting rapidly at the witches, killing them all but some managed to avoid being shot.
Muriel and the Horned Witch takes cover, not caring if the other witches get killed.
Shadow tossed grenades at them and they explode, he keeps shooting at them that they're all defenseless and trying to get away. An African Swahili Witch wearing a lion skull mask tackles Shadow from behind but he stabs her with the blade from the side end of his shotgun, shooting her head off and pushed her aside. He then shot the Irish Witch from the left and stabs the Arabian Witch in the chest.
"We have to hurry!" Muriel said when she noticed the Blood Moon fading away slowly, "You get the children! I'll get her heart!" she told the Horned Witch and pushed her, "Now move!"
Rouge saw this and tries to take down the Horned Witch but she grabbed the other witch as a shield. Just then, the machine gun is out of ammo. Rouge gasped at this and tries to find a way to reload but it was no use.
The Horned Witch saw this and tossed the witch corpse aside, rushing towards the children, taking out the poison dart frogs from the small bag, some dropped on the ground but she didn't care.
"EAT IT!" she forced the human boy to eat the frog but he spits it out in disgust. She snarled in anger but did not have time for this, "Walk! MOVE IT!" she pulled the chains connected to the kids, forcing them to move it.
While doing that, Muriel had the dagger in her hand as she walks up slowly towards Amy, ready to cut her heart out. Amy was fearless and fights back but was useless from the shackles chained up.
"COME ON!" Amy shouted.
"AMY!" Shadow screamed in horror that his sister is gonna die.
Just as Muriel got closer to Amy, she was whacked by the werehog's strong punch which she didn't expect to happen.
"Ugh!" she hit the ground.
Amy gasped and saw Silver, "That was too close" he sighs in relief.
"Silver" Amy smiles.
"AMY!" Shadow screamed.
"I'm okay! Go get the children!" Amy yelled to her brother.
Silver looked back at her, "Don't move, let me get those shackles off you" he said, helping her.
The Horned Witch drags the little rabbit girl on the rock pavement near the cauldron, putting her foot on the rabbit's chest to hold her still, "STAY STILL!"
Shadow saw this but then felt someone grabbing his leg, he looked down to see it was a Legless Witch with no legs, "GET OFF OF ME, BITCH!" he kicked her off the edge, shooting her down and quickly rushes to get the children.
"I SAID STAY STILL!" the Horned Witch said and held the ax over her shoulder, ready to decapitate the rabbit's head.
"AAAHHH!" she screamed in horror as she was about to die, but saw the witch get shot in the stomach, dropping the ax on the ground and kneels down. The rabbit girl sits up and looked at Shadow walking up to the Horned Witch, aiming his shotgun at the witch's head.
*BOOM*
He shot her and the witch's blood splattered a bit on the children's face which made them flinch with their eyes closed.
"Ugh…." the kids groaned in disgust but didn't care and that they're happy to be alive. Shadow grabs the keys from the witch's dead boy from her pocket and quickly tries to unlock the shackles from the kids.
"All right, don't move" Silver said and broke the last metal chains off the boulder stone and Amy was free. She saw Muriel getting up and aims her wand at the werehog.
"Silver, look out!" Amy screamed but Silver got lift up in the air by Muriel's magic from her wand, tossing him over the edge of the cliff and falls.
"Noooooo!" Amy screamed and glared at Muriel, using the chains as her weapon, "Grrrrr!" she tackles her down and fights.
As the Blood Moon is almost fading away, Shadow unlocks the shackles from the last child, letting it drop on the ground.
"Okay, that's all of you. Now get back to the town as fast as you can. Go!" Shadow told them and they nodded.
"Thank you!" the little rabbit girl Cream thanked him and ran off with kids.
Shadow grabs his shotgun and spots a Siamese Twin Witches snarling at him. He shot them between their backs, which made their backs bloody and torn apart but still connected. They snarled and kicked him in the gut but he dodged it, blocking their kicks with his shotgun.
The moon was almost fully white as they fought. Amy did a backhand at Muriel and many punches in anger. But Muriel had her dagger and suddenly got upper hand over the pink hedgehog. She tries to stab her but misses. Muriel growled and smacks Amy to the ground and they struggle. But then Muriel notices the sun is rising up, turning the dark sky to day time.
"SHIT!" she snarled and looks back at Amy.
"Too late!" Amy grins and headbutts her, kicking her off and kips up to her feet.
Muriel gets up and grabs her broomstick, takes flight to get away from Amy and following the remaining witches.
Rouge runs in with Amy's crossbow, "Amy!" she tossed it to Amy and caught. Amy turns her crossbow to a double and shoots two witches from each side. She then grabs the razor-like whip from the ground and swings it at the other witch as it sliced her in half and pieces of rib bones shattered out.
Shadow was still fighting the Siamese Twin witches but he was starting to get tired. Just as they were about to stab him with their weapons, Amy shot them both in the heads with her crossbow.
"Thank you" he said and picks up his weapon, Rouge and Amy runs up to him.
"Muriel is still alive" Amy told her brother.
"We're still not done? Oh, great" Shadow growled under his breath.
"I need that" Amy said to Rouge, grabbing the strapped bag, "She went that way" she pointed at the direction and walks away.
"And where are you going?" Shadow asked.
"I have to help Silver" Amy said and ran off.
"Wait, who the fuck is Silver?!" he asked but Amy already left.
