"Eggman, we will defeat you!" Shadow shouted.

"There is no Eggman! I am the Darkness King!" Eggman announced.

"Okay then, King Doc, we'll beat you down still!" Sonic yelled as he and Shadow used the emeralds. Amy was about to as well, when Tails held her back.

"This is their fight, Amy. Let them finish this the way it was started."

Sonic and Shadow charged at Dark Eggman, who flicked them like they were bugs. The two then tried to light speed dash Eggman, but he knocked them down again.

"This is getting ridiculous. Give up now, and I might spare your lives,"

"Not a chance, Egg!" Sonic yelled.

The two charged one last time, but Eggman released a dark blast of energy that sent them flying into a rock cliff. The rocks fell onto the hedgehogs as they fell, burying them alive.

"Sonic! Shadow!" everyone gasped.

Eggman's laugh boomed across the valley. "Now there is nothing that can stop me now! I can create this world in my image! All hail the Eggman Empire!"

With that, Eggman shot a dark blast at the ground, and a dark tornado tore up the planet's surface.

"Large seismic energy is tearing the planet apart!" Tails shouted.

"If we don't stop him, the world will be destroyed!" Fang moaned.

Amy and Knuckles nodded at each other and absorbed the power of the Chaos Emeralds as well, turning into their super forms. However, things seemed bleak against the powers of Eggman.

Sonic and Shadow awoke in a grassy field in a strange place. There stood Jules the Hedgehog and Tikal.

"Dad? You're not dead, are you?!"

"No, son, I'm not dead. And neither are you. I came here with the help of your friend here to tell you that you can't give up."

"The world is counting on you both, Sonic and Shadow. You cannot fail the world now," Tikal said.

"Shadow…" a voice from above called, which materialized into Maria, "You must defeat the darkness. Make a world worth living in… for me."

"Chaos is power… Power enriched by the heart. The user is the one who unifies the chaos," Tikal stated.

"Good luck, my boy! Win one for the hedgehog legacy."

"Good luck, Shadow. I know you can do it."

With that, the three faded out of their dream.

"Dad…"

"Maria…"

The hedgehogs stood up together and looked toward each other.

"We must never give up…"

"For our friends…"

"For our family…"

"Together! Hedgehogs forever!" the two shouted.

Meanwhile, Knuckles and Amy's attacks were no use against Eggman's power. Scarlett began to think that it was hopeless now to defeat him.

"We can't win. We'd need a miracle."

Fang placed a hand on Scarlett's shoulder. "Then, we'll make one." She moved toward the Master Emerald. "Master Emerald, hear our plea! Give our friends the strength to defeat the darkness!"

A surge of pain ran through Scarlett as the fox fell to the ground. "I sense something… It's…"

The Chaos Emeralds suddenly began to glow with a white light as they grew into Super Emeralds. The rockslide encasing Sonic and Shadow exploded, and Hyper Sonic and Hyper Shadow emerged from the rubble.

"You ready, Shadow?" Sonic asked.

"Always."

"Chaos Control!" shouted the two as they glowed and moved in toward themselves. When the light faded, one hedgehog stood, which looked like Shadow and Sonic combined.

"We are Hyper Shadic! It's time to finish this fight!"

Notes: One thing I must say, that "Hedgehogs forever" bit always seems to remind me of the line from Power Rangers Samurai "Rangers Together, Samurai Forever!" I find it rather odd now that I think of it (But heck, without Odd, there'd be no comic relief. LOLz Code Lyoko) Anywhays, I also really like the "King Doc" Sonic Free Riders reference. I thought of that all on the spot, so yeah.
