Muriel and the remaining witches flew on their broomsticks in the forest, passing by trees and bushes. What they don't know is that they're heading to a trap.
The Chinese Witch and the Pirate Witch saw it and they try to slow down but too late, they were slashed into pieces through the metal strings.
Muriel gasped and she was able to slow down her flight, just a few inches close to the trap and flies to the other direction of the forest.
Sonic was resting near a tree and then saw Muriel. He got up and loads his shotgun. He fires a bullet which spreads out and it hits Muriel, making her crash into the trees.
"Whoa" Sonic was surprised and smirks, "Ha! Hell yeah!"
"Sonic!" Shadow called out his name.
Sonic heard it and ran to find Shadow running through the trees, "Shadow! Shadow!" he found him and Rouge, "I did it! I shot her! Muriel!"
"Where?" Shadow asked.
"Over there, come" Sonic tells them, they ran to where Muriel was shot but she was not there but her broomstick is torn up to pieces on the ground.
"She's close. Come on" Shadow said and they start to look for her.
Meanwhile Amy found Silver down the cliffs, still a werehog.
"Silver" Amy gasped, she checks his pulse but didn't hear anything. She picked out the taser-thing, attempting to revive him like a cardiac arrest.
"…..Ugh…" he moved a bit but still unconscious. Amy puts her ear on his chest to check if he's breathing, she hears his heart beating too slow and she gives her taser-thing more power, stabs it on the werehog's chest for electric jolt to fix his heart.
"AAAAHHHH!" Silver's eyes are wide open, sitting straight up from the electric jolt on his chest.
"Silver. Thank god" Amy sighs in relief and slumps her head on his shoulder.
"Ugh…..what happened?" Silver groans a little.
"Muriel threw you after you rescued me" Amy told him.
"And the witches?" Silver asked again.
"They're all dead but Muriel is still alive. Say, do you think you can track her scent?" Amy asked him and he nodded.
"I think so" he said.
"Great. Can you move?" Amy asked again.
"Yeah" Silver said, grunts and groans as he stands up, "Man, that was one nasty fall. Okay, follow me" he said and sniffs the witch's scent in the air.
Amy follows him close.
Rouge, Sonic and Shadow walking in the woods and much to Shadow's shock, he sure was not happy at what he saw.
"Aw, you can't be serious" Shadow said.
They came across to the old abandoned gingerbread house. The candy on the house has melted for years and they sure don't taste very good anymore. The three walked up slowly to the candy house.
"Is this…?" Sonic was stunned.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever you do, don't eat the fucking candy" Shadow said, walking up to the house.
Just then, something knocked Rouge down and Shadow turns to see Muriel holding Sonic hostage.
"Ah ah ah! Stop right there or this little blue hedgehog dies" Muriel warned him, pointing her wand near Sonic's neck. Shadow glanced at Rouge that is on the ground and back to Muriel.
"Thought it would be fitting for us to end up here, where it all began" Muriel smirked evilly.
Shadow growled lowly, aiming his shotgun at her.
"Drop it" Muriel said, waiting for Shadow to drop his weapon.
Shadow put his weapon down and gets down, pretending that he's given up.
"Good boy" Muriel smirked.
"Don't worry, Sonic. I'm not gonna let her hurt you" Shadow said, reaching for his revolver.
"Oh, really?" Muriel asked.
"Really" Shadow grins and pulled his revolver out and tries to shoot Muriel but hits Sonic's shoulder. Muriel drops him and fires electrical spells at Shadow.
"Ugh!" he got hit on the ground as Muriel moves the tree branch at him with telekinesis from her wand, and did the same for the second hit. Shadow hits the tree and groans.
"The end is near, witch hunter" she walks up slowly to him, hearing him moan in pain and rolls over, "I wish I could make this painless, but that would be a lie"
All of a sudden, a magic jinx hit Muriel to the ground. Shadow looked to who shot Muriel, it was Rouge. The bat was aiming her wand at the dark witch.
"Get away from him" she glared at her.
Muriel gets up and grins, "It's funny seeing a white witch with a wand" she said and Rouge keeps her wand held straight, "What are you gonna do? Hit me with your love spell?" Muriel said.
Rouge shoots her magic again at her but missed as it hit the trees.
Muriel then casts a spell on Rouge and she hits the wall on the candy house. Rouge tries to get up but Muriel grabs her by the throat.
"Sacrificing yourself to save a mobian hedgehog? Pathetic!" Muriel stabs the pointy tip of her wand at Rouge's stomach.
"Urgh!" Rouge grunts. This made Shadow very angry, he gets up to his feet and he shoots Muriel repeatedly into the house. He rushed to Rouge that is lying on the ground. He held Rouge close to him. He gasps at the wound.
"Shadow..." Rouge said weakly.
"Rouge….." Shadow said softly, holding in his tears strongly.
"Shadow…I…I t-tried t-t-to stop her" Rouge panting heavily.
"You did. You did good" Shadow said, his tears were sliding down his muzzle to see his first lover dying in his arms.
"I want you to do something for me" she said, almost losing oxygen.
"Anything" Shadow said quietly.
"Kill…that fucking bitch. I-I-I love…..you" Rouge said and with her final breath. Shadow saw her not moving anymore as he gently lies her back down on the ground.
"I love you too, Rouge" Shadow said, kissing her forehead and closing her eyelids all the way down.
He looks at the candy house and growls in anger, kicking the door down to fight that witch.
But he gets whacked by a shovel Muriel used. She attacks like a maniac and Shadow attacks back.
Amy came and saw the candy house.
"Oh, you got to be fucking kidding me" Amy said.
Inside the house, Muriel fights Shadow still until Amy came.
She screamed in anger as she tries to shoot the witch with her crossbow but Muriel whacked it out of her hand.
They fought until Muriel tries to stab Amy one last time, but Shadow grabs her wrist as Amy punched Muriel's side three times.
Muriel punched Shadow and roughly threw him against the old broken cage. She then grabbed Amy's neck and threw her hard against the old oven. She tries to find something to stab but got hit by Shadow. He grabs the chains that are connected to the oven lid, wrapping it around her neck to choke her. He kneels down to open the oven lid as the chains lift Muriel off her feet. Shadow found an old wood to support the lid so that it won't close by itself.
As Shadow punched her multiple times, she groans and changes to human form.
"Oh, please. Stop…please" she begged for him but Shadow wasn't falling for that.
"Yeah, nice try" Shadow punched her face again as it changes back to a witch form. Muriel tries to grab his neck but can't when the chains around her neck is chocking her.
Suddenly, the timer from Shadow's wrist starts ticking. He stopped and knew what this meant. He tries to fight back but his body was too weak and he's starting to get sick. Muriel kicked him to the side and tries to reach for the oven to kick the wood block.
Amy woke up and heard the timer from her brother and looks to see his back filled with the insulin injections. Hearing her brother groaning and is about to die in a few minutes, she crawls up to the injections. Grabbing one and crawls to where her brother is and stabs the needle on his upper leg, injecting the insulin in his bloodstream. He gasped and was able to breathe okay.
"Thanks, Amy" he said to her.
"You're welcome" she said.
The siblings held each other's hands and looked at each other, smiling.
"I fucking hate you" Amy teased him with a chuckle, panting heavily.
"You look like shit…..You know that" Shadow smirked at her.
"Aww…so do you" Amy said to him and chuckled.
Shadow laughed along with her but then heard Muriel kicking the wood off the oven lid as she unwrapped the chains off her neck.
She rushed up to them and grabs Amy's neck, about to choke her when Shadow hit her with the shovel. Knocking her down and screams in anger, shoving the shovel on Muriel's neck.
Amy walks up to her brother and glares at Muriel on the floor, struggling to get the shovel off but Shadow was too strong.
"Finish her already" Shadow said to his sister.
Amy grabbed the handle of the shovel, "ARRGGHH!" she stomped the shovel down on Muriel's neck, decapitating her.
Sonic came in and saw his idols have defeated the dark witch. Shadow was holding the lifeless head of Muriel. He was about to puke but stays strong, "You guys did it!"
"Yes we did" Shadow said and tossed the head in the oven.
Sonic hugs them both. Shadow scoffs in annoyance but Amy liked the hug.
"Okay, that's enough" Shadow gently pushed the blue hedgehog away from the hug.
They have killed the witch but their revenge doesn't change the past nor will it bring their parents back.
Amy walked out the door and picked up Muriel's wand.
"You all right?" Shadow asked Sonic.
"Yeah" Sonic said to him.
"Glad to hear it" Shadow said and pats his shoulder but that made Sonic flinch in pain from the bullet that is on his shoulder.
A while later at the town, Shadow and Amy burned the Tall Witch. Backing away to the crowd and watched her get burned alive.
They now know the truth, their story, their powers and what they can do. They know who they are now.
The man tossed the bag of money to them and Shadow caught it. He and Amy walks away, carrying their weapons.
One Week Later
Shadow and Amy have agreed make Sonic become a witch hunter and he sure was happy as hell. Amy and Sonic became a couple for a few days and they seem to get along very well. As for Silver, Amy decides to adopt him and she was like a mother to him.
As for Shadow, he made a grave for Rouge. Setting the flowers down and kissed the gravestone, saying goodbye to her.
"Rest in peace, Rouge. I love you" he said and walks away.
Soon, Shadow and Amy were at the desert for their mission. Sonic was behind them looking at the paper.
"We should be getting close now. So after this next one we got three more to go" Sonic said.
"Three? You said three more three witches ago" Shadow said.
"Well you always say more witches more money, right?" Sonic grinned at him.
"Yeah, but you ain't getting any of it. Unless you want to pull the cart" Shadow smirked and glanced at Silver in his werehog form, pulling the cart from behind.
Amy smirked and pats Silver.
"Told ya he come in handy" Amy said as they keep walking.
"There it is, guys" Silver points at the desert rock house. He parks the cart of dead bodies of witches and walks along with his friends towards the house.
"Silver, wanna knock?" Amy smirked at the werehog.
"Gladly" Silver smirked and pounds his fists together, walking up to the door and punches it hard with his strength.
The door is knocked down, inside the house was a Desert Witch. She looks normal like a human but has a hideous face when she gets angry or scared. She saw the intruders at the door and she shrieks in anger as her normal face transforms to a monster-like form and then changes back to normal. Amy held out two revolver guns and shoots at the witch but misses every shot when the witch tries to break through the glass window.
As the witch manages to break through the window, Shadow was outside near the window and whacks her with his shotgun, knocking her down unconscious.
Soon she was awake and sees them glancing down at her.
"I hate to break it to you but it ain't gonna be an open casket" Amy said and shoots the witch.
The End.
