Chapter 10: The Dark Signal
A few days had passed now Team Natsu, Laxus the leader of his Thunder Legion and Gajeel and his exceed friend and partner Pantherlily had recovered from their wounds and back at the guild to compete on jobs. Sonic and Kenny as Team Sonic been going on jobs together as a team and as best of friends working together to complete their jobs and not bringing any ruckus. The people of Earthland thanked Sonic and Kenny rewarding them with money and gave them an extra bonus for not wrecking the towns.
The people talked about Team Sonic and the reporter had been making news about Sonic and Kenny in Sorcerer's weekly and they're in the front page of the magazine. Few wizards of Fairy Tail especially the females like Cana, Laki, Wendy and even Lucy wanted to join Team Sonic but Sonic declined it and they're not accepting any new members.
Sonic told Kenny that he would meet with him at the guild even Erza. Sonic decided to take some alone time for himself so he went out on the run and begin traveling a bit before heading back to the guild. Sonic stumble a cliff of a view of the forest looking at the view with his arms crossed.
"This sure is a nice looking view." Sonic commented.
Sonic sighed to himself spend a moment to look at the view. Seconds after, his wrist computer was acting up notifying him that Kenny is contacting him so Sonic raises his left wrist and responds to his friend's call.
"What's up Kenny?" Sonic said looking through the screen.
"Sonic, I need to talk to you. Can you come back to the guild, I have something that you may want to know." Kenny communicated.
"Sure. I'll be there right now."
Sonic ends the transmission and speeds off to the guild to meet Kenny.
Sonic arrives to the guild in minutes and enters inside the guild greeted by everyone.
"Sonic hey pal where did you run off to?" Natsu asked.
"Out for a run." Sonic responded.
"Hey Sonic can I give you a massage?" Lucy asked.
"Maybe later. Is Kenny here?"
"I'm here Sonic." Kenny waved sitting with Wendy and Carla.
"Good. Let's go outside so we can talk like you mentioned before."
Kenny nodded in response so Sonic and Kenny exit the guild so they can talk.
"What was that about?" Happy asked.
"It maybe something important." Wendy guessed.
"Whatever it is I suggest we stay out of Sonic's business." Pantherlily suggested.
"You know Sonic doesn't like anyone getting into his business."
"That's true." Carla agreed.
With Sonic and Kenny…
Sonic and Kenny went to the woods so they can talk.
"Ok Kenny, what do you got?" Sonic asked.
"While you were out on your run, I picked up a trace coming from the Mt. Hakobe." Kenny informed.
"What is it?"
"I don't maybe an energy reading."
"It must be Darkness."
"It could be, you want to go check it out?"
"Yeah. I hope it's Darkness. We still have a score to settle."
"Let me grab my gear and then we'll leave."
Kenny rushes back inside the guild and grabbing his stuff.
"Where are you going Kenny?" Carla asked.
"Sonic and I have matters to attend to." Kenny answered.
"Is it something important?" Wendy asked.
"Yeah it sure is."
"Then what is it?"
"Sorry. That's question is classified so me and Sonic won't tell you all."
Sonic enters inside the guild.
"You ready Kenny." Sonic asked.
"Yeah I got my stuff so let's go." Kenny responded.
Before Sonic and Kenny can leave, Macao stopped Sonic for the brief moment.
"Hold on Sonic. Where are you guys going?" Macao asked.
"Business." Sonic answered.
"What kind of business pal?" Natsu asked.
"It's not of your concerned. We have urgent matters to attend to."
"Sonic. What's going on? You've been very secretive for two weeks. Are you hiding something?" Macao asked.
"No."
"You can tell us Sonic. What is it?" Lucy asked holding Sonic's hand.
"It's… nothing. I'm not hiding anything."
"Sonic. You need to tell us what's on your mind and why are you being very secretive." Erza asked.
"I'm not hiding anything."
"Sonic I'm your wife and I demand to know what's going on. So tell us right now."
"I already told you I'm not hiding anything."
"Sonic at least just…"
Sonic lost himself and yelled at Erza.
"I SAID I'M NOT HIDING ANYTHING SO STOP ASKING ME!" Sonic yelled out of rage.
Erza jumped up in fear and so did everyone else. Sonic look around seeing everyone looking at him so he turn his back around to them facing the guild doors.
"I'll be back and I'll see you all soon." Sonic said before leaving.
Kenny watched on and follows Sonic out of the guild leaving everyone speechless and never hear Sonic yelled to anyone before. There was a moment of silence of the guild until Lucy breaks the silence.
"I never seen Sonic yelled at anyone like that before." Lucy said couldn't believe it.
"Yeah. Maybe we must've pressed on asking him a lot of questions." Levy assured.
"It was wrong for us to make him this angry." Wendy said sadly.
"We haven't seen Sonic this angry since his war against his old enemy." Wakaba reminded.
"I know. When Sonic comes back, we all should apologize to him." Makarov suggested.
"Yeah… I never want to make my idol angry like that again." Romeo said.
Meanwhile, in Mt Hakobe…
"You know you shouldn't yelled at Erza and to everyone like that Sonic." Kenny said.
"I know. Ever since Darkness has been revived, my anger towards him builds inside of me. I wanted to get this done and save everyone before all of them know about his revival." Sonic replied.
"I know and I understand but you shouldn't yelled like that to Erza. You know she's going to whip your butt."
"I know and I'll apologize to Erza and everyone when we get back."
Sonic and Kenny continue their way to search for the signal that Kenny had traced in his laptop. As they get closer to the signal, the signal had suddenly disappeared shocking Kenny and shocking Sonic from using his wrist computer to follow the signal.
"The signal disappear from my laptop." Kenny said.
"I know, so does my in my wrist computer." Sonic added.
"How can we trace the signal now?"
"Well we're here so whoever traced the signal it has our attention."
"Indeed I do Sonic."
Sonic and Kenny turn around glancing over to the dark hedgehog known as Darkness the Hedgehog making his appearance again.
"Darkness!" Sonic glared.
"Sonic. Case if you're wondering about the signal, I'm the one who had set the signal and brought you here." Darkness confessed.
"So it was you, I knew it was you."
"But why?" Kenny questioned.
"To have some fun. To fight of course."
"A fight huh? Ok then I've been waiting to fight you Darkness and this ends now." Sonic said getting to his stance.
"Oh you won't be fighting me."
"What. Then whom?"
"That will be us."
Darkness grinned as five figures appeared in the blue. It was a male mobian wolf, elephant, viper, scorpion, echidna and a female coyote appearing with Darkness.
"Meet my new crew Sonic. This is Crash, Candy, Viper, Sting, Death and Hunter." Darkness introduced.
"Six new henchmen huh. You created them yourself?" Sonic asked.
"Correct."
"Is he the one that creates his own henchmen Sonic?" Kenny questioned.
"Yeah your guess is right Kenny." Sonic answered.
"They know a lot about you and they watched you fight that Black Dragon Slayer who doesn't have the guts to finish you off." Darkness informed.
"Is that so, they don't look like a challenge to me."
"Oh I'll make you eat those god damn words Sonic. You may be stronger but you cannot beat me." Crash threatened.
"Now now Crash let us not get too very hasty right now." Darkness calmed.
"So are you going to fight me Darkness? If you is then let's finish this once and for all." Sonic questioned getting ready to use one of his forms.
"Sonic. I know you are so very eager to fight me but our fight will be on hold just for now anyways. Don't think that I'll be leaving which I will watch and fight."
"Oh we'll see about that."
Sonic charges over towards Darkness to strike his arch nemesis. Just when Sonic could get a chance to strike but however, a pale grey echidna jumps in and deliver a drop kick towards Sonic and back flipping away. Sonic hit the ground but roll backwards, lifting himself off the ground using his hands and kneel to the ground sliding down leaving a little trail of snow during his slide. Sonic glances over to the pale grey echidna wearing a skull mask.
"You will not harm lord Darkness." The pale grey echidna known as Death stated.
"I don't know who you are but get out of my way or else I'll beat you down too." Sonic threatened.
"You words will not get you anywhere or scare me. You should be afraid of death."
"So your name is Death I see?"
"That is correct. I am a reaper and I will take your soul using my scythes."
"You surely do look like a reaper but you won't be taking my soul."
Darkness smirked, glances over to Kenny and extends his left arm out lifting Kenny in the air and bringing him close to him shocking Sonic.
"Sonic. Help me." Kenny pleaded.
"Let him go Darkness!" Sonic demanded.
"My my Sonic, I never knew you would have help with this little exceed. Is he some kind of your puppet pet?" Darkness asked looking over to Kenny.
"He's my friend and my partner. I said let him go!"
"I think I should kill this little cat instead."
"Sonic!" Kenny cried.
"NO!" Sonic roared.
Sonic uses Sonic Boost in top speed and bashing Darkness against him sending him flying. Darkness had been forced to release Kenny from his telekinetic power and Sonic soon catches him in his arms.
"Are you ok buddy?" Sonic checked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Sonic watch out!" Kenny warned.
Sonic look over his shoulder seeing Crash coming towards and strikes a punch, Sonic then backflips over Crash and get out of sight away from Darkness's crew. Candy, Fang and Sting rush over to Darkness's aid while Death, Crash and Hunter glance over to Sonic glaring at him.
"You're going to regret hitting our lord punk." Hunter said cracking his neck.
"Oh I am so going to enjoy this." Crash snickered.
"You should leave this to me first. I want to see how Sonic can fight with his sword." Death said.
"Go ahead and knock yourself out skull head. Try to soften him up for me will ya."
*Song start to play the fight: Through the Fire (Sonic and the Black Knight OST)*
Death ignored Crash and takes out two of his scythes and get to his stance.
"Show me what you can do Sonic the Hedgehog: the Guardian of Earthland." Death provoked.

"I don't care about what you say the matter is I can't stand you and I will end this right now." Sonic countered.
"Ah. That's the problem right there, you sure don't like waiting and you can be very stubborn. However, you and me will someday but today is not the day. I will tell you this Sonic the Hedgehog, this time: you will die by my hand and my hand only. Consider this a warning and a message that I have to you."

"Damn it! He got away." Sonic cursed.
"Sonic…" a voiced called.
Sonic turn his attention over to his exceed friend and partner.
"Are you alright?" Kenny asked.
"I… I don't know, my mind has been so focused on Darkness and my angry towards him explode and it boils inside of me whenever I see him." Sonic responded softly and sadly.
"I know Sonic. You and Darkness had long history and I know your anger towards him and you have issues against him."
"Yeah… I know."
Sonic calmed himself down and takes a deep breath and come to realize that he's hurting himself and to his friends back at the guild for yelling at them.
"Kenny. I'm sorry if I went overboard and to everyone back at the guild." Sonic apologized.
"Hey it's ok. I'm not mad at you, you were so concerned about their safety and to everyone in Earthland too." Kenny softly replied.
"Yeah… I know…"
"Hey by the way, is that your new form?"
"Oh no I don't think so. Now that I come to think of it, this is my second level of my fire form so I can guess you can call me Fire Sonic 2."
"Wow a new level. That's a first."
"(Reverts back to his normal state.) Yeah it sure does. Well I think it's time to go back home and to apologize to everyone for yelling at them."
"I believe so."
Sonic nod his head, smiling to his exceed partner and so they both went back to Magnolia.
Meanwhile, Darkness's Citadel…
"I can't believe that hedgehog beat me." Crash said.
"You're not the only one that got beaten up. He got me too with his Ice-Volt form." Hunter reminded.
"Although, Sonic is very well skilled with his swordsmanship. I feel like we're equally matched." Death said crossing his arms.
"Sonic maybe powerful and strong but when I see him. (Starts to punch the wall with his fist.) How make him pay for trying to kill me!" Crash threatened.
"Simmer down my elephant friend. You will have a chance to fight Sonic another time but we have matters to attend to." Darkness said appearing out of the blue.
"Lord Darkness, whatever do you mean? We can't let Sonic humiliate us like that." Hunter interjected.
"Yes. I know how all of you feel but we don't have to take revenge against my arch nemesis at least not yet."
"So what do we do then?" Death asked.
"Don't worry, I have a plan when it comes to the Grand Magic Games. The fools will be feel my wrath and your wraths as well when I make my surprising return and have everyone to fear me."
"I like where this is going. We do whatever we want when we wreak havoc in Crocus?" Crash questioned.
"Correct. Do what you all like but leave Sonic to me, I have a surprise for him. Well a shocking surprise that will shock and lighten up everyone to their nightmares."
Darkness extends his arm out looking over to the black room, the shadow figure came in the room appearing to be the black hedgehog with blue lightning streaks on his quills and his arms. He even begin possessing black lightning knowing he has electrokinesis and have black lightning dancing around.
"Believe me, Static the Hedgehog will shock Sonic and kill him again and again and again." Static threatened grinning with black lightning.
Elsewhere, Magnolia…
Sonic and Kenny return back to the guild entering inside seeing the Fairy Tail wizards turning their eyes on Sonic. Sonic sighed and begin to speak.
"Guys I want to say that I'm sorry that I yelled and lashed out on you all." Sonic apologized.
"No Sonic. We're sorry for pressing you about questions. We're the ones who should be sorry." Macao countered.
"You're forgiven. I didn't meant to yell at all of you."
"It's ok Sonic. (Hugs Sonic.) We're not mad at you and you're forgiven." Lucy accepted.
"Sonic. I know you have a lot in your mind so if you're ready to tell us let us know. We'll wait." Makarov said with a smile.
"Thanks. I do want to tell you guys but I'm just not ready yet." Sonic stated.
"I understand. If you're ready to talk, we'll be ready to listen."
"Thank you."
Sonic turn his attention to Erza. She walks over to Sonic facing him eye to eye.
"Erza… I'm sorry." Sonic apologized.
Sonic waited for Erza to strike him but instead, she pulls Sonic into a warm and comfort hug shocking him and everyone in the guild.
"It's ok beloved. I forgive you and I am not mad at you. You were going through a tough time and I understand that. I love you." Erza said softly.
"I love you too Erza."
With that being said, the blue speedster and the Titania share a soft and passionate kiss on the lip locking as it goes on. Lucy, Cana, Laki, Evergreen, Kinana and even Mirajane sighed lovingly see the two share a kiss and make up.
"That's true love there." Mirajane said smiling.
"I just wish that was me." Lucy, Cana, Evergreen, Kinana and Laki murmured in unison.
Looks like things have settled down and Sonic and Erza make up and things are going to be ok. Darkness has something in store for Sonic and what is he planning for his surprising return? Who knows? Tune in next time for more Fairy of Darkness 3: Age of Darkness.
