So umm, a combination of me having nothing to today plus being requested will equal this chapter and the next. This is being revived from the grave and may go back in it after this. As said in the previous chapter, speaker is similar to person in the body. Not the body itself. Who equals who you ask? Read the previous chapter. Like, the first paragraph :x
Chapter 21: Role Reversal II
Shadow notices the others as they approach the starting line. He runs towards Amy as quick as possible with the meanest look on his face.
"How did you idiots find out about this race?" Shadow asks.
"What race?" Amy asks. "We will just ask Yoshi for the prize and be on our way."
"Hell no you won't," Shadow replies.
Mario, well Peach, well whatever has ran into the stands to reach the very top where Yoshi is. She is located in the sky box which overlooks the entirety of this part of the island. Since it is so huge, there are many binoculars in a line. Each are labeled with a different track. Anyway, Peach gets on with it right away. She explains the situation to Yoshi who nods her head to every word. Yoshi reaches over and grabs the case that contains the two star emeralds. These are the Black Star Emeralds which control the environment. She hands Peach the case. She gives Yoshi a hug in return and runs out of the box. An announcement comes over the loudspeaker informing people that the race has been canceled. Many angry yoshi leave the stands. Shadow, Wario, and Waluigi are shocked at this site. Amy laughs.
"What the hell," Shadow exclaims. "What's going on?"
Wario points at Peach who is running down from the stands with the two star emeralds. Shadow is of course overcome with rage. He jumps in the air and fires a Chaos Spear into the stands. Peach sees this and jumps over it. It cause the stands to break in half. Peach runs down the stand as fast possible while holding on to those star emeralds. She jumps into the air and tosses them down to Amy and Cosmo. They catch the Black Star Emeralds, but they don't activate. Omochao doesn't appear. Nothing happens and Shadow plus his crew are stunned.
"Er um, what's the deal with this," Shadow asked.
"Wawawa," Waluigi says.
"Can someone translate that please?" Shadow says.
"Yeah," Wario says. He pulls out some glasses then reaches in his back pocket to take out a dictonary. It is titled Wario and Waluigi Linguistics For Dummies. Wario points Shadow to every word that Waluigi meant.
"So, Daisy told him that because of something that Amy did they are now in the reversal phase? What's the reversal phase?" Shadow asks.
Wario shakes his head because he has no idea. Waluigi doesn't get it either.
"You guys aren't really Mario, Luigi, Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles. They must be fakes," Shadow remarks.
Everyone else is standing there with a blank look on their faces. Amy comes up with an idea and hope that everyone else will follow her lead.
"What are you talking about," Amy says. "I'm the one and only. I will beat you down, you faker!"
"Wow, she's good," Rouge remarks.
"Okay, this will prove my theory. If I kick your ass then you can't be Sonic," Shadow says. Shadow orders his goons to back down and Amy does the same.
"One more thing, no star emeralds," Shadow orders. "No sword either."
Amy hands over her sword to Peach. Shadow takes off the golden rings around his wrist. Amy makes the "bring it on motion" with her hand. Shadow wastes no time. He immediately jumps into the air and homing attacks towards Amy. Amy does the same. The attacks clash and cancels out. Shadow rises in the air and does chaos control to make himself seem to fast for the naked eye. Amy doesn't know anything about chaos control, but what she does think is that Shadow will most likely appear from behind. She back flips and Shadow appears right in front of her with his back turned. Amy runs up to him and kicks him up the ass. Shadow flies into the air.
While in mid flight, he regains his composure and starts shooting chaos blasts to the ground. Amy dodges all of them. She then makes the biggest mistake of all. The idiot pulls out her hammer from hammerspace which is now apparently spiritual instead of body dependent. She reflects a blast back at Shadow which hits him causing him to fall on the ground while the others just look at her and shakes their heads. Amy puts the hammer back before Shadow notices it but Wario and Waluigi did. They rush to Shadow's side whose face is in the ground. Wario pulls Shadow's head out of the ground and Waluigi grabs the dictionary.
"Mama mia," Waluigi says. He points to a word in the dictionary. Shadow reads it while wiping dirt off of his head.
"Hammer that came out of nowhere?" Shadow says. "What is going on today?"
Wario slaps Shadow and then starts to write something in the dirt using his finger.
"Amy," Shadow says. "You mean Sonic is Amy?"
"Yeah," Wario replies.
"Ah, the reverse thing. It all makes sense now. They are the princesses," Shadow explains. "Do you know what this freaking means? They can't activate or use the star emeralds unless they are in their own bodies. This is full of win. Gather around you two."
Shadow uses Chaos Control to go back to the castle.
"This won't end well," Rosalina says. "Why did you pull out the hammer?"
"Sorry, instinct," Amy says. "We have to go back right away!"
Back at the castle, Shadow and his squad appears in the main hall. The place seems quiet. Not a sound can be heard. Shadow orders them to split up because they are on a mission to find the others and beat them down to take the star emeralds. Shadow goes upstairs, Wario goes downstairs, Waluigi goes to the backyard. Shadow run up the stairs and through the sliding doors which takes him to the endless staircase. He continually runs through it. He can see the door on the other side, but he notices that he never gets any closer to it. Nevertheless, he keeps running. Fast forward to an hour later, and he is still running. He stops and his air skates cancel out causing him to slip and fall downstairs face first. He is now back at the door of the endless stairs. He reads the sign next to the door. "These staircases are endless. Only Mario and Peach can climb these stairs. Anyone who knows the art of the infinite backwards long jump can go up the stairs as well." Shadow basically gives. up. He runs back to the main hall to find Wario waiting there as well.
"You came up empty too?" Shadow asks. "The castle is large and confusing. Your brother went in the backyard, right? Let's go check up on him."
They take the door under the staircase and run towards the star door at the end of the hall. They see Waluigi standing in the middle of it, but he is blocking their view.
"Hey, what did you find over there," Shadow screams. Waluigi turns around and does the finger over the mouth routine to keep them quiet. He order Shadow and Wario to get on the left side of the hall while he takes the right. All three of them peak through the doorway. What they see, is well. I can't describe it since story is rated T. Moving along, Shadow's mouth is wide open and his eyes have nearly popped out of his head. Sames goes for Wario. They slowly back away from the doorway and turn around.
"We never speak of this to no one," Shadow says. The others agree. "I have never felt so confused before. It's like a mindfuck. Anyway, since they were naked the star emeralds must be around somewhere. Let's check the one place we skipped."
That place is Yoshi's old room. It is closed and locked. Shadow orders Wario and Waluigi to stand outside of the door and keep watch. Shadow uses chaos control to get to the other side. He hits the switch in the room to notice that it's completely empty, except for a closet to his right. He uses chaos spear to open the door. There is nothing in it of interest except for a yoshi egg. Shadow takes this anyway. He chaos controls himself through the door and heads for the main hall with Wario and Waluigi right behind him.
Meanwhile, the others are arriving from the bay through the painting in the room with the star door and the number three painted on it. Amy tells the others to stay behind in case Shadow and his squad show up while she go looks for everyone else in order to see if Sonic and Tails can activate the star emeralds thus killing this reversal thing. Luckly for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mario, and Luigi, they stopped doing what they were doing just in time. They are re-entering the castle through the back door. Amy comes to a halt when she sees them.
"What happened," Sonic asks.
"Here," Amy says. She hands Sonic and Tails the black star emeralds. They began to glow which cause Silver to appear.
"Well done," Silver remarks. "Although Amy almost failed, you still completed the mission. Thus, I shall reverse the effect." With a snap of his fingers, Silver reverses the effect from the previous chapter. Everyone transfers to their own bodies. Sonic is both happy and sad to be back to his old self.
"Yes," Sonic screams. "Finally!" He looks over to the all of the girls. "Are you okay?"
"Umm, we feel really tired for some reason," Peach says.
"Yeah," Amy says. "Excuse us as we go to the second floor. You guys take care of the rest."
"The rest of what?" Sonic asks. Cosmo throws Sonic the other black star emerald. And proceeds to follow the other to the second floor.
"Uhh,"Silver says. "I recorded what you guys did in the body of the princesses under the star fountain. I'll cut you a DVD."
"Cool," Sonic says. "I'll catch you later."
The effect has now been reversed. Sonic and the others did some unmentionable things while Amy managed to complete the task at hand and obtain the two star emeralds. Now our main heroes must fight off Shadow, Wario, and Waluigi. Our bad guys will be getting a little help from someone else...
Just so I don't forget this again: Star Emerald count. Every princess has their green one so that's four. The special friends have their multi-colored ones so that's two. Sonic has the blue, red, white, and black one so that's four. Tails has the blue, red, white, and black one so that's four as well. Mario has only the red and blue one so that's two. Luigi has only the red ad blue one too so that's two. 4 plus 2 plus 4 plus 4 plus 2 plus 2 equals 18 star emeralds collected. 30 minus 18 equals 12 star emeralds left to get.
