Still accepting fan characters for short cameo appeareances.
OMG. I was too lazy to go back a read this. Please let me know if you find any ridiculous typos.
The Marvelous Misadventures of Shadow and Co. Finale
Strange voices could be heard from below them. Silver was clinging to one of the large branches. Shadow was holding onto him, knowing he was afraid. Scourge was perched on a lower branch, holding a pistol in case they were found. Spenser was rocking back and forth, shaking the tree slightly.
Unfamiliar creatures came into their view. Everyone tensed up, well, everyone but Spenser, who was more interested in a squirrel. One of them looked up. Thankfully, Scourge had already taken his jacket off so his fur blended in with the colors of the leaves. A moment later, they returned to where they came from.
Silver sighed in relief, releasing his grasp on his fiancé. Shadow smiled slightly at him to calm him down. Their peace didn't last. A loud snap caught Scourge's attention. "Stripes!" The branch the two lovers were on broke off, causing them to fall into a bush below. The white hedgehog's shriek was heard by one of the Pirate Ninjas.
The three returned and grabbed Silver's ankle. He screamed, digging his claws into the earth and refusing to submit to their will. Shadow landed a swift kick to the alien's head. It released its grip. "Shadow!"
The black hedgehog pushed his fiancé away from their attackers. "Silver, run!"
He held his husband's arm. "I'm not leaving you!" Eventually, more of those strange aliens arrived and dragged the two away. Silver was knocked out while Shadow was beginning to throw a fit. A moment after their kidnapping, Spenser noticed their absence.
"Where's that little white guy at?"
Scourge jumped down, slipping his jacket on. "They took them!" Spenser fell down on his backside. He jumped up in pain and desperately tried to pull his spiked tail off of his bottom. "We have to follow them before they take Stripes back to their planet and use him as a fly swatter!"
"Owwie. I hate having quills on my tail." Scourge shot a glare at him. "What?"
"Go get the ship ready! We need to follow them!" Spenser saluted and off in a random direction. The green hedgehog began rummaging through his pockets for something.
"Hey, Boss!" Spenser called from behind one of the trees. It was amazing Scourge could find him in such a thick forest. "Our ship is on fire."
"What!?" The green hedgehog glanced at it, then proceeded to freak out. "How is our ship on fire!? It's fireproof!"
"It is?"
"Yes! That's how we could sail over the lava ocean!"
"That was lava!?"
Scourge sighed. "Yes, Spenser. What did you think it was?"
"…A lot of red pudding." He placed a finger on his chin. "That's why it burned my tongue…"
"Never mind that!" He grabbed Spenser's vest and dragged him in the direction the Alien Pirate Ninjas went. "C'mon! We have to follow them."
"Silver?" He gently nudged the white hedgehog, waking him. "Are you alright?" He placed the back of his ungloved hand on his fiancé's forehead, worried. "You don't look-" He was cut off by a another high-pitched squeal.
"Where are we?" He jumped up and grabbed the bars of the cell they were in. "Lemme out!" He attempted to pull the bars loose with no such luck. "Daddy!" He whirled around and tackled Shadow to the cold floor in a tight hug. "I'm scared!"
He sat up, patting his lover's back. "Calm down. Scourge will be here any minute now." He tensed up when one of the Pirate Ninjas entered the room. It didn't have its mask on, and looked like a cross between a green horse and an octopus. Needless to say, it was rather disturbing. The alien placed a camera on one of the bars, it was facing them.
"What's the camera for?" He pulled Shadow closer, frightened. The alien made a strange noise and did a motion with his hands similar to intercourse. Silver's face became bright red.
"What!? Listen, we don't spy on your personal life! What makes you think that'd we have sex when we knew there was a camera pointing at us! We're not wild rabbits!" A large laser gun was attached to the bar next to the camera, completely changing Shadow's opinion. "W-We'll get started on that then…"
"That's so gross! I'd never do something like that in a disgusting place like this!" Silver stood, arms crossed. He turned away from the Pirate Ninja, refusing to comply. The gun was fired, barely missing the hedgehog's shoulder. It made a large dent in the wall. "I'll do it!" He paused, narrowing his eyes. "Is this thing going to end up on the internet?" It made a strange sound and left, slamming the door shut. The two lovers glanced at each other.
Shadow sighed. "This is beyond awkward." He was caught off guard when his fiancé kissed him, pushing him down to the floor.
"Boss!" Spenser was seated in the pilot's seat of a helicopter. He wore a headset which he used to communicate with Scourge, who was seated behind him. "How did you fit a chopper in your pocket?"
"It's a part of the emergency kit!" He pointed to the Communist Alien Terrorist Pirate Ninja's ship. It was painted bright red with a yellow hammer and sickle on the side. "There! Try to get closer." He pulled the Chaos Spear from out of seemingly nowhere. "I really hope they're not using Stripes as a sex doll."
Spenser whirled around, letting go of the controls. The helicopter veered to the left. The green hedgehog latched onto his seat. "They'd do that!?"
"I'm too young to die, Spense!" Realizing his mistake, he took control. Scourge sighed with relief.
"That's awesome." He lowered the chopper enough for the hedgehog to jump down. "What do you want me to do?"
"Land it!" He tried to shout over the sound of the chopper, but the porcupine misinterpreted it. Instead, he jumped down onto the deck, letting the helicopter fall into the lava and explode. "Nice going. Now they know we're here!"
Spenser scratched the top of his head. "But, they're ninjas. Shouldn't they already know?"
"That's not the point!" Before anything else could be said, a harsh jerk was felt throughout the ship. It began to rise into the air. A clear dome covered the exposed deck. And, basically, the pirate ship morphed into a giant alien spaceship. It floated forward slowly, as if trying to decide where to go.
"Wow, this is nice." The porcupine looked around. "It's like one of those environmental dome things. You know," He turned to Scourge. "Where they have this perfect nature system set up in an enclosed area." He took in a deep breath and coughed. "Smells like gasoline, though."
The green hedgehog crossed his arms, thinking. "They'll probably drive this ship into some large building or landmark, so we should probably get off within the next five minutes." He placed a hand on his chin. "And, they probably have Stripes on the lower level of the ship. Seeing as how this is a spaceship, they should also have an escape pod somewhere on the lower levels." He didn't seem to notice Spenser dancing wildly in the background. "We should grab Stripes and Silver and get out of here using the pod." He snapped his fingers. "Spense, this way!"
"OMGWAITFORME!" He skipped after the hedgehog, singing a song about coconuts.
They snuck past a variety of guards before reaching the cell door where Silver and Shadow were being held. "Stay here." Spenser saluted and returned to poking the unconscious Pirate Ninja. Scourge kicked the door down, being welcomed by an unusual scene. He whirled around and removed his shades. He rubbed his eyes as if in pain.
"What happened?" The curious porcupine wanted to peek into the room, but his boss stopped him.
"Nothing. Just….just go get the escape pod ready." He blinked a few times, blinded by the horrible sight.
"Yessir!" He dashed off.
Unfortunately, a passing guard noticed the miserable hedgehog. It proceeded to attack. Scourge wasn't expecting anything and ducked back into the cell room. He slammed the door behind him. The alien ran into it face first. "Did they force you or something?"
Silver pointed to Shadow, who was partly dazed. "It was his fault!" The black hedgehog merely grinned.
"Whatever." Scourge sighed. "Let's go home."
Shadow finally decided to speak up. "But, you never got the Scepter of Darkness like you wanted." The green hedgehog shrugged, not really caring as much as he used to. Silver's ears drooped.
"Sorry Scourgey. Maybe next time?"
He waved a hand over his shoulder. "Maybe." He pushed the door open, staring at the unconscious alien at his feet before stepping over it. "C'mon. Spenser is getting our escape pod ready."
Silver frowned. "Poor Scourge. He sounds so disappointed." He turned to Shadow, who was still grinning.
"We'll finish this later." His fiancé turned a light shade of pink, embarrassed.
They followed the green hedgehog until they came upon a red escape pod. Spenser would be driving it. He was a good person to have if you were planning to create a little havoc, but if you were in an emergency, he wasn't very useful. The pod jolted forward and left the Pirate Ninja ship behind in a puff of smoke. It spun around, doing a few loop and crazy flips thanks to the pilot. But, that all stopped when Scourge slapped the porcupine across his face. Silver yelled at him for it, stating that being a boss meant treated his 'employees' with respect. Shadow didn't say anything, but he figured the yellow nuisance got what he deserved for once.
The steering wheel, or stick in this case, snapped off as they were nearing their destination. As they went spiraling downward to their death, Tihocan noticed them. "Uncle Ellsworth!" The hedgehog looked up from his newspaper. "Look! It's a shooting star! And, it's heading right for us! Is that doublely good luck?"
Confused, he glanced over the grey hedgehog's shoulder, immediately knowing it wasn't a shooting star. "Tihocan!" He picked up the child and dashed out of the house as the pod crashed into it.
"Whoa! Awesome!" Ellsworth watched in horror as his house was completely destroyed.
Once the pod stopped moving, it opened. Shadow was the first to stumble out of it, coughing from all the smoke. He waved a hand in front of his face, unable to breathe. Silver was next, coughing in the same manner and reaching for his future husband. "Shadow! Are you okay?" He was pulled into a comforting hug by the black hedgehog.
"OMGI'MONFIRE!" Spenser jumped out of the escape pod, failing his arms around wildly, as if it would put the fire out on his bushy tail. "Put me out! Put me out!"
Scourge was the last person to emerge from the ship. He used the Chaos Spear as a walking stick. He had been injured during the crash – The steering stick seemed to like him a little too much and had plunged itself into his lower abdomen. No one noticed until he collapsed. "Scourgey! Are you okay?" Silver rolled him onto his back. Shadow pulled out the stick and gave it to Spenser, who promptly ate it, unaware that the fire was starting to spread to…other places.
After a few minutes of struggled, Tihocan finally pulled himself free from the frozen Ellsworth, who had a horrified look on his face. "Daddy! I knew you'd be here!" He grabbed onto Shadow's waist, hugging him tightly. Silver didn't seem to notice, as he was too concerned about his adopted older brother.
"Hey! Let go! I'm not your father!"
"Daddy!"
Silver's ears perked up at the unfamiliar voice. He whirled around and screamed. Tihocan backed away. "CuteCuteCute!" He scooped up the frightened grey hedgehog and nearly squeezed the life out of him. "You're the cutest thing I've ever seen!"
"Daddy! Help! Rape!" Poor Tihocan reached out to Ellsworth, who looked like he was about to explode with anger. "Uncle Ellsworth! Help! Save! Choking! Ack!"

(I got used to seeing really bad art after looking through my sketchbook. XD ) Happy late birthday! And, thanks for reviewing!
Pocketful of Craziness - Whoa. I never knew everyone would love Spenser so much. I'll get the Shadilver love back eventually. I'll admit that I've been ignoring poor Shadize lately. Thanks for the review!
Kamala11 - LOL. I promise to get back on track after the next chapter, (I promised a friend that I'd dedicate it to him.) Unfortunately, the link you sent me couldn't be found.
