Shadow walked around the town. Apparently after a little spar between Eggman and G.U.N, his Emerald had been lost, and found by a local jewelry store nearby.
Shadow was walking down the street, hugging the walls of the nearby businesses. Gladly many of the people kept their distance; Shadow didn't care, as long as he got the gem in the end.
"Up here, on the left…..I can feel it." Mephiles whispered, looking at him from his Shadow reflected on the ground. Nobody would normally notice the difference of his shadow, maybe Blaze or Silver could but there wasn't much of a difference.
Except the frightening lizard green and yellow eyes that occasionally looked up.
Shadow gave a small nod nobody else could see and walked into the small cute jewelry store.
The girl at the counter stiffened, her eyes widening slightly with shock, Shadow narrowed his eyes slightly and with a small flick of his finger, Mephiles sprang, a thin black stream of dark energy knocking the lever that held the blinds up.
Fliiit! The blinds on one window fell, in seconds, all windows and doors had been blocked by curtains and blinds, the open sign flipped to close.
The windows were blocked and Mephiles returned, waiting in his shadow.
"Hello little girl, I am interested in something I believe you have." His tone was slightly dark, she was shivering slightly.
"N-No S-sir, I d-don't know w-what you are l-looking f-for." She stuttered, backing away.
Shadow narrowed his eyes. Zzzzpop. A single light popped out, thanks to Mephiles that is.
Zzzzzpop! Zzzzzzzpop! Now only one light remained, the light directly above the girl. She yelped and backed into the wall.
"Give me the Chaos Emerald. There is no point in trying to hide it."
The girl was trembling, Mephiles hissed in annoyance and separated, spreading across the floor in a thin black mist, deep in search for it.
"Here, under the red cushion." Shadow walked over to a glass case showing watches, and punched through the case. Knocking the watches aside. Glass flew and the girl shrieked, blocking her face from the shards. A single little shard slashed her cheek, a little dribble of blood clumsily rolled out, dripping onto the display case.
A black hand carefully moved the cushion and took out the hidden glittering gem. His hand almost glowing as the gem reacted with the energy inside the hedgehog's body.
The girl was still in shock, trembling greatly, she was wide eyed as she spotted her blood dripping down her face, it had already slipped through her hands, yet she caught it, as if she could somehow heal herself with it.
Shadow gripped the white gem and casually stashed it in his quills, next to the crimson red one. Two Chaos Emeralds….only five more to go.
"Go, I hear a commotion outside, I shall take the girl." Shadow nodded, heading towards the door. He froze, and silently looked out between the blinds, and stiffened.
G.U.N. robots marched down the streets, aiming their weapons on robots that were obviously Eggmans. Bolts and spare machine parts were flying, oil gushing down the street in absence of the scarlet liquid Shadow was so used to.
"Your right, Eggman and G.U.N. are playing a little game." Shadow's voice was monotone, simply alerting Mephiles of the possible danger nearby.
"I see….we should wait in the alleys, watch the chess game as it destroy each other's pawns." Shadow glanced over at Mephiles, who was strangely quiet. He really wished he hadn't.
The girl's eyes were purely white, the iris's rolled back into her head. Her mouth was dropped, in a silent scream; her hair was splayed, like it was filled with static.
The most frightening was the black mist seeping through her mouth, nose and ears, running through the girls body how Oxygen would. The blood on her cheek was slowly hardening, until a little drop fell, turning into a perfect drop of hardened blood. Almost like hail in a raindrop form.
The girl twisted, neck moving to the side, as if looking over her shoulder, but Shadow knew it wasn't the girl's doing, it was Mephiles. A strangled ripping noise sounded, before collapsing, arms on the case and eyes dim.
"She has the effects of a Heart attack None shall know of her true death."
"What….What did you do to her?" He whispered, looking at the lifeless corpse.
"I entered her mind, took her brain and heart as my own, but she was not strong enough….she was to….breakable."
Mephiles stated, Shadow looked away and nodded, exhaling and vanishing the sick feeling he had.
Shadow walked out, sticking to the alley's, simply watching as more G.U.N. troops fired at Eggman's little robots which took out a few.
"Fire!" The people on the ground shouted, missiles slamming into large dog like Robots, which shrugged them off and attacked again.
A blue blur shot out of nowhere, smashing into the dog's back. The fanged jaw on the dog twitched before it dropped and the dog collapsed a shower of sparks.
"Eggman!" Sonic shouted, standing on the dog's remains.
"What are you doing here?" Sonic shouted again, Eggman wasn't smiling or ranting. G.U.N. stopped firing for a little bit.
"Taking over you're city!" He shouted, firing another round of bullets which Sonic dodged. There was a change however, instead of his all out attack like he normally would, attacking from all sides. He was focusing his army onto a single stream of firing, to be more precise only this road.
Lasers were fired, Sonic avoided them but a few of G.U.N. solders were taken out in a fury of sparks and melted metal. Sonic jumped to avoid another laser, but quickly twisted into a spin dash, easily knocking down another hound.
A Vein was popping out of Eggman's forehead, his furious hands swiped the controls, sending out much of his arsenal.
Sonic jumped, eyes wide muttering an 'uh oh'. He jumped, grabbing an incoming missile and throwing it the other way, destroying all the others with a large cloud of debris.
"He relies of speed more than tactic."
"Injure his legs and he's down."Shadow mumbled back, he could see his shadow pondering. It's frightening lizard green eyes focused on Sonic and Eggman.
Sonic jumped and dropped, sliding under another of the robot dogs, ripping off its hind legs and taking out the battery pack. It dropped over destroyed. All the hounds were gone now.
"It will take much to terminate his speed."
"He dodges easily, it's nearly impossible to get him down."
"Ah, you still have much to learn young Shadow. All weaknesses, no matter how small or untouchable they are, are important in our fight."
"How so Mephiles?" Shadow asked, a robot nailed sonic in the ribs, sending him flying into a building. The blue blur just raced back in again.
"His weakness is his legs? Attack him in a place where he cannot run. Put him in water, what happens then dear Shadow?"
Shadow's eyes widened, Mephiles was smart to see that, smarter than anyone else Shadow had ever met, even the Doctor. It was a wise choice to serve under Mephiles, or with Mephiles.
"Hero's are the same, they have a hero complex, a desire if you choose, to save the innocent. But you and I Shadow, we see the truth, that none are innocent. Why should we save those who have caused us pain and suffering? No, we shouldn't and we won't."
Shadow was still pondering. A Hero complex? Now how could that turn to his favor.
"You are pondering the Hero complex? I must say, it is always in our favor. Grab someone from the sidelines, the hero will always 'help' then you strike when he is weak."
Apparently Eggman knew of this also, as he used a long robot claw to grab a few G.U.N. solders, however Sonic quickly and skillfully free'd them without a swipe of his quils.
"Such a pity the fool has no idea of how to swap a pawn."
Mephiles spat bitterly, a robot on G.U.N.'s side combusted randomly suddenly. The people surrounding it jumped away, calling it off as a 'stray laser'.
"Mephiles." Shadow scolded, Mephiles crossed his arm, he looked away, still annoyed.
"Why shall we wait? Turn the tides and kill."
A small smirk grew on Shadow's face, he turned to sonic but didn't budge.
"Knowin Sonic, he probably just ran off, therefore somebody would follow him."
"He doesn't seem to cooaperate with others."
"You'll see."
At that moment a large fireball shot down and coated a robot in sickly orange flames.
A lilac cat danced through these and quickly commanded them to turn, to charge against the others.
Green energy grabbed streetlights and hurled them, piercing the robots like lances.
Mephiles snarled, twisting suddenly in a fit of rare anger.
"Blaze and Silver, they deserve to rot!"
Shadow looked down at the furry ridden Mephiles, his form wasn't staying the same, twisting and finally Shadow gave up trying to recognize it.
"Is their a way to attack them without them recognizing us?"
"No, Blaze and Silver will always recognize me, as Sonic will recognize you. I can hide you, change our forms to be unrecognizable."
Shadow gave a short nod, and Mephiles seeped up from the ground.
His body split, one large porton sunk deep inside Shadow's fur. He shivered as it twisted, Shadow struggled and the mist recoiled.
"Stop struggling or it wont set! Relax Shadow."
Shadow unwillingly let the bone searing cold rest on him, finally, the cold spread to his core, drenching it with icewater. His core froze, turning his blood to ice, making him grow used to the feeling as he was normally.
Black mist set on his fur, hardening and thinning until it was as smooth as glass, his arms lengthened as his legs, his tail grew and his flesh hardened until he dropped onto four legs.
He flickered his eyes open, easily seeing all with a strange grey tint. A sharp purple surrounded all living things, and a dark blue surrounded all threats. He opened his shark like muzzle now to feel rows of pointed teeth, his quills flexed into sharp spines at the back of his neck.
His sat down on his large but strong hindquarters. Looking as the mist swirled into a black portal like thing.
Slowly a large purple, black, and white wolf like creature walked out. Its belly white and it's back the purple in Mephiles's crystals. Strange black patters swirled on his flesh like the shadows themselves lived on him. His shark like mouth looked dangerous and his long ears sat just before a long crystal mane of diamond bladed rock.
Green eyes met Red and Shadow actually looked to see how big he was. He was easily the length of a human door, while the height of a small car. Around the size of a horse.
"These are one of my shadows. My beings of darkness. You shall remain in that form until you command not to. Blaze and Silver will recognize my monsters, but not recognize it as us."
Shadow nodded his head, opining his muzzle to speak, but then freezing. How did he speak in this form.
"Our minds are linked as I am within you presently."
'Oh….shall we just run in there and attack?'
"Start with G.U.N, we are enemies, not friends. The fools shall take it the wrong way."
Shadow nodded and started slowly walking, the shadow blending him in so well, only his crimson eyes could be seen, same with Mephiles.
Sonic was narrowly avoiding bullets now, from G.U.N. and Eggman. Blaze and Silver were hacking at a strange metal scorpion now, Shadow and Mephiles growled and jumped into the G.U.N. ranks.
Screams were their music.
At the beggining, i was randomly going with the monster thing, but i found a pic that perrfectly matched it.
I just want to say, i DID NOT STEAL IT!
I was trying to explain the wolf demon things, so i looked up some pictures of demonwolves to hlp with my ideas.
I found the Sergal or something like that, a Sergal is not what the monster is but its body shape is most like it.
By the way, i'm 13 so no, the demon wolves do not do the... activities...sergal's do
