Me: I own nothing except for the story! I am so excited that I am getting close to the end of "Part 1" of this story!
Fleetway: Review… Or Else…
Me: ^^'
Chapter 12 Revenge Part 3:
Sonic had just been abducted. That was the thought that was currently in everybody's minds. They had expected Fleetway to at least tackle the blue hedgehog, but kidnapped?
"What the heck just happened," Knuckle finally said voicing everybody's thoughts.
Back with Fleetway and Sonic:
The two hedgehogs clashed furiously in a series of spin-dashes and Chaos attacks. Sonic and Fleetway were almost an even match, but the blue hero was at a slight disadvantage because he was not able to go Super Sonic. The demon knew this and realized that all he had to do was wear the other one down to win.
"It seems that you aren't as weak as I thought… but you are still nothing compared to me," Fleetway smirked. The demon hedgehog teleported behind Sonic and kicked the bewildered blue hedgehog in the back causing him to fly forward. Sonic managed to get his hands on the ground and flipped himself back up to a standing position. Fleetway stood there waiting for his impatient counterpart to charge forward recklessly. Sonic launched his sonic wind attack at the golden hedgehog and leapt into the cloud of smoke that his attack had created. He knew that it was a pretty foolish move, but he also knew that he wasn't going to be able to defeat somebody who practically knew everything about him using tactics that they both would most likely use in that situation.
"At least he is trying something different. He forgot about my Chaos sense, though," Fleetway thought to himself. He grabbed the other one's arm and performed the same maneuver the he used on Knuckles. Sonic was ready for this, however, and used this momentum to spin-dash towards the ground to minimize the damage.
"Chaos Spear!" a voice yelled. A shower of yellow energy daggers flew down towards Fleetway causing the demon to leap out of the way instinctively. Both Sonic and Fleetway looked over towards the direction from which the attack came from.
"You weren't meant to get distracted as well, faker. Always keep your eyes on your opponent," Shadow reprimanded as he Chaos Controlled next to the blue hedgehog.
"Yeah, yeah… I know," Sonic muttered. He recovered his stance, ready to dodge an attack at a moment's notice. Knuckles, Tails, and Ebony appeared shortly after Shadow had thanks to Ebony's teleportation spell. Fleetway shook his head and laughed at the group.
"How many times do I gotta tell ya? Numbers mean nothing to me! Let's make things interesting… Chaos Division," the demon hissed. Several ghostly hands of Chaos energy appeared and floated around. Some of the hands were slowly floating around their creator while the other hands dove forward dividing the group again. The hands smashed into the ground and dug underground. Knuckles tried to follow in pursuit since he was able to dig very quickly. The hands underground disappeared leaving Knuckles confused. Fleetway had used Chaos Control to return them to the surface and focus on the assault above ground.
"All you do is dodge… do something interesting. Entertain me," Fleetway said before faking a yawn. Shadow growled at the insult, but he knew that the demon was trying to get a rise out of him. Sonic, on the other hand, was unsurprisingly easier to aggravate and a small feral snarl escaped his lips.
"Damn it, Sonic! Don't let him get to you. He's baiting you," the striped hedgehog hissed shooting a quick worried glance towards the irritated blue hedgehog. Sonic sighed and took a couple of deep cleansing breaths.
"Right… I know," Sonic sighed.
"Aww~ you're no fun," Fleetway whined. The demon snapped his fingers and two more 'hands' appeared. He pointed at his current targets and the 'hands' rushed forwards. Sonic used his Sonic Wind to deflect the hands, but Fleetway's attack acted like homing missiles. Shadow fired several Chaos spears at the hands which also didn't do much damage. The 'hands' regenerated as quickly as they were destroyed.
"This isn't working too well…," Sonic commented as he dodged out of the way of Fleetway's attack. Shadow growled and decided the more direct approach. The dark hedgehog spin-dashed the 'hand' and was pleased when he noticed that it wasn't coming back.
"Shadow! Behind you," Sonic yelled suddenly. Shadow was so busy gloating over his insignificant victory that he did not notice the 'hand' that was attacking Sonic had left and floated towards the one that had destroyed its partner. The 'hand' grabbed the midnight hedgehog's neck and slowly started to strangle him.
"Looks as though I've caught at least one of you. Now, are you going to allow me control or is this going to have to get messy," Fleetway said grinning triumphantly. The hand around Shadow's neck squeezed tighter for emphasis causing him to wince and struggle harder. The demon chuckled at the dark hedgehogs futile struggles which were getting weaker as time passed.
"Don't you dare," Sonic retorted angrily emerald eyes shifted between his demon-self and Shadow's twitching body. The blue speedster's usual easygoing front diminished slightly as fear took its place. Fleetway's grin widened even further feeling confident that he had defeated his 'soon-to-be-once-again-host'. Sonic stood stalk still as the demon hedgehog casually floated towards him. The Chaos energy hand holding Shadow vanished, dropping the limp and unconscious hedgehog on the ground. The blue hedgehog saw that Shadow would be fine, angry when he wakes up, but fine.
"I have plans in store for us… yes, us," Fleetway said smirking. He landed on the ground soundlessly and walked over to his 'host'.
"All you have to do is accept me and my power. As long as your friends don't interfere, I suppose I could spare them… depends on your answer. I'll even let you stay in control for the most part… you will just have to let me have control when I ask (demand) for it," the demon said. He was lying about sparing Sonic's 'weakling friends' of course.
"I don't want my friends to die… even if I die… but then, who will protect the folks back home…," Sonic muttered to himself quietly. Wait a second, why was he suddenly feeling all depressed? The blue hedgehog shook his head to try and clear his head of the strange thoughts. We can't even go Super… if I surrender, my friends will live… where are these thoughts coming from… I see some reasoning behind them…
Fleetway smirked as he watched the confused blue hedgehog that stood before him. He knew that even though they were separate, he could still influence his host's ideas and manipulate him. Fleetway waited patiently for Sonic to finish his internal struggle.
"Fine… but you had better keep your end of this deal," Sonic said. The blue hedgehog looked utterly defeated, and all was done by Fleetway's manipulation. The demon hedgehog shook hands with Sonic and was reabsorbed into his conscience. The blue hedgehog's eyes were shut as he absorbed the energy. Sonic's eyes slowly opened once the process was complete revealing that his right eye was still a bright emerald green and the left eye, a crimson swirl.
To Be Continued…

A/N: Yup, I am almost at the point where I would have ended this story and started a sequel, but I changed my mind at the last second. So this story is hopefully going to reach about 25 or so chapters!
