Shadow's POV
I arrived in Westopolis and saw the streets destroyed and most of the buildings on fire, the city looked worse than it did when the Black Arms invaded. "Whoa…" Was all I could say before they arrived. I turned to face the Anti-Sonic team standing behind me, led by both Scourge and Sonic. "Hey Shadow, how are you?" Scourge said with an arrogant smirk. I can't wait to wipe that off his face. "What do you want?" I asked them straight, Sonic just laughed, then said "We just wanted to see an old friend, what's wrong with that?" The rest of the Anti-Sonic team just glared at me. I glared back, then said "Hmph, I don't have time for this…" I turned around and started walking in the opposite direction, while counting down in my head, "…3…2…1…" I backflipped just in time to dodge a charging Anti-Knuckles, who was quite pissed that I predicted his move. I landed, and before he could charge at me again, I hit him with a Chaos Spear, sending him reeling back. I felt myself being raised in the air then getting hit with a fireball as Anti-Blaze and Anti-Silver stepped in. I collapsed on the ground, back smoking. Anti-Silver raised his hand to telekinetically pick me up again, but Sonic stopped him, saying "You haven't even introduced yourselves to Shadow yet, do that first, then kill him." Anti-Silver smirked, picked me up telekinetically and turned me to face him and the rest of his team. "I'm Mercury…" Anti-Silver said, then pointed at Blaze and said "…This is Embers…" He then pointed to Anti-Knuckles who just recovered from my Chaos Spear "…That's Spikes…" my attention was casted towards Anti-Rouge and Anti-Omega, "And that is Ladrones the bat and the A.L.P.H.A prototype." Mercury finished then looked at Sonic and asked "Can we kill him now?" Sonic gave an evil smile then said "Of course…" Mercury returned the smile before throwing me towards a nearby building. This is going to hurt.
?'s POV
I just arrived on the outskirts of the battlefield, crouching to avoid being spotted. I saw Mercury throw Shadow into a nearby building, reducing it to rubble, while the rest of the team got ready to fight. The A.L.P.H.A prototype's one hand changed into a grenade launcher and launched a grenade in between the rubble, only for it to launch itself back, the grenade hit the A.L.P.H.A prototype in the chest, blowing up and sending A.L.P.H.A flying. Shadow, then, appeared behind Mercury and roundhouse kicked him in the head before Chaos controlling above the entire team, sending a chaos trident towards the middle of them then clenched his fist. The Chaos trident split into its three parts and attacked Embers, Ladrones and Spikes. Mercury recovered and tried to use his powers to attack Shadow, but Shadow was gone. Mercury was then blasted into the rubble that Shadow was once in, by a chaos spear. Shadow was standing behind him, eyes were glowing ghost blue, but the colour faded. "He used Chaos Warp…" I said to myself, grinning like an idiot. Shadow started to approach the rubble, when I saw the A.L.P.H.A prototype recover, change his arm into a laser gun and aim it at Shadow. I Chaos controlled in front of A.L.P.H.A and backflip kicked him in the face, sending him up, when I landed, I fired a Chaos Javelin towards him and squeezed a fist. The chaos Javelin flew past A.L.P.H.A, split into hundreds of massive chaos shards and came raining down on him as he landed back on the ground hard. His robotic body jerked like someone being filled with lead shot from a gun that can carry 100 bullets. When the last shard hit him, his body was smoking and his systems powered down. He didn't completely shut down though, he initiated sleep mode, which us organics refer to as unconscious. The entire Anti-Sonic team, including Sonic and Scourge, turned to face me displayed the reaction I've come to enjoy on their faces: Fear. Even good old Mercury, who climbed out the rubble, had a face that shows he is seeing his worst nightmare. Shadow turned to face me and his face displayed one of shock, as he said my name, "…Gemini?"
Shadow's POV
"What the hell?! I thought you were dead!" I shouted at Gemini as I grabbed Mercury by the hair and threw him into Embers. "Long story…" Gemini said, ducking under Spikes' fist and sending a Chaos trident into Sonic, Scourge and Ladrones, "…I promise to tell you later, but right now focus on fighting." Gemini finished as he elbowed Spikes behind the head, knocking him out. Ladrones and Embers came for me and Mercury went for Gemini. "Ladies…" I said as they approached me, poised for the kill. I cracked my knuckles then finished my sentence with my hand stretched out, "…May I have this dance?" Embers lunged at me with flaming hands, intending to hit me, but I dipped under her arms and gave her an uppercut to the face, sending her flying back. As Embers collapsed, I approached Ladrones, who said "You know it's rude to hit a lady." "You're no lady, Ladrones." I replied, dodged her 5 fists of fury, then struck her in the throat. She stepped back, coughing and spluttering and I finished her off with a corkscrew heel kick. As she collapsed on the ground I saw Gemini casually dodge Mercury's lunge and strike him in the back. Mercury got up and tried to use his telekinesis to pick Gemini up, but all Gemini did was approach him, saying "Come on, Merc. You're supposed to know that that doesn't work on me." When Gemini came in an arm's length of Mercury, Mercury made a desperate attempt to try and take Gemini down one last time, and it didn't end well for him. Next thing I knew, Mercury was on the ground and Gemini was casually dusting himself off. He chaos controlled next to me then said, "Time for the big finish…" He placed his hand on my shoulder and I immediately knew what he intended to do.
Sonic's POV
I had no idea what they were planning, but it ends now. Scourge and I lunged towards Shadow and Gemini only to hear them utter the word that we all dread, in unison: "Chaos Blast!" Scourge and I flew back; our bodies were searing in pain as we were blown back by the doubled intensity of the Chaos blast. It ended and the entire team was flung back into the surrounding buildings. I was grimacing in pain, my body was smoking, and I could barely open my eyes, but I still saw what happened next. Shadow approached Scourge, grabbed him by the quills and flung him towards Gemini, who grabbed him by the neck and slammed him down on the ground so hard, it formed a mini-crater. "You bastard!" Gemini said and started beating Scourge to a pulp. "Let's see how you like it when the team is hunting you…" Gemini said, Scourge just laughed in his face and said "You have no proof." Gemini removed both his gloves, grabbed the back of Scourge's neck then touched the back of Shadow's. "Now I do." Gemini said as he stole every single one of the memories of the Rosy incident, and transferred it over to Shadow's mind, both was done via the nerve. Scourge's face turned to horror as Shadow ran around and transferred every single memory to each and every one of us. When Shadow transferred it to me, I saw how Scourge lied to me, and how gruesomely he killed Rosy.
Gemini's POV
I managed to Chaos control everybody to Sonic and Tails' house, where Tails told me he built the tachyon slingshot. I told Shadow to heal my team and he did so, and boy were they pissed. I called Tails and told him to bring Amy and Miles with him when he came. They arrived in seconds, Amy was first shocked to see me, then relieved. Shadow transferred the memories over to Miles and he, too, became pissed. Tails activated the slingshot and I approached Mercury, asking "Can you take him back to Moebius and teach him a lesson?" Mercury nodded, then said "Sorry, for what happened all these years." I reassured him, "No hard feelings." Mercury nodded, grabbed the injured Scourge by his neck and motioned for the rest of the team to follow him. He took one last look at me and said "I'll see you around Gemini." He, then, sped forward, shattering the dimensional wall and disappearing back into Moebius with the rest of the team following. Tails turned the slingshot off and portal was closed. I turned to Shadow who was being bombarded by apologies from Sonic on how Scourge indoctrinated him with lies. I expected Shadow to backhand him away, but instead he accepted the apologies but threatened Sonic to never let it happen again. Amy, then, invited us all to her place for supper like nothing just happened and we all agreed like nothing just happened. Mobius is my new home now; these people are my new friends; I expect my new life is going to be full of surprises. Before we left, I took one last look at where the portal to Moebius used to be and said one sentence before leaving to join my new family: "Give him hell."
