Holy crap, it's been awhile since the last update! I apologize as writer's block came around and got to me. Thankfully its starting to go away again and reading all of the lovely club fics helped too.


HTK Mini Special 7: How Shadow and Shrek Came To Be

Shadow glanced over from Shrek's sexy, hot sweaty body which lied next to him. He finally recall that day, the special day that changed his life forever. The hedgehog never truly realized how important Shrek was to him or how much he actually mattered to him.

It all began on that fateful day...


"Maria, this is what you wanted, right? This is the promise I made to you. "

The hedgehog fell back as Super Sonic and his friends watched him disappear from their eyes, falling into the earth as the final weapon was defeated. No one knew about his whereabouts them, feeling bad that he had to go like that and even valued him as an friend. They knew deep down, Earth saw him as an true hero yet they never knew of his name being Shadow the Hedgehog.

"Hey, what is that thing?!"

"Whatever it is, don't you tou-! Donkey no!"

For what seemed like eight hours was actually weeks as Shadow slowly started waking up, his vision being hazy from the fall and his almost eternal slumber. He heard two voices near him bickering with one another as his eyes couldn't make them out for an split second. Soon, the hedgehog regained his vision to come across an talking donkey and an cat wearing an hat, cape and boots.

He wondered where he even was, seeing how none of these creatures were familiar with him nor was he at Station Square anymore or even the famously talked about city, Smashville.

"Well, wait til Shrek finds out about this! Then I'll finally be able to have my waffles!" said Donkey.

Puss noticed the gothic hedgehog to finally be awake as he tapped his furry friend on his shoulder.

"Donkey, um now isn't the time to be thinking about waffles, it looks like the stranger is up," the cat stated, pointing towards Shadow.

Donkey gasped at first, then approached Shadow and moved quickly, observing him from all angles. He spun around, his upbeat persona being quite new for the hedgehog who seemed to have only known of space, Maria, KoRn, fake hedgehogs and battling the Biolizard. Soon, Donkey backed up, making the backing up sounds from an truck as he came to an halt.

"Excuse my friend's reckless behavior," said Puss, speaking in his Spaniard accent. "He can be quite strange to those who take an first look at him but he's harmful once you know him. Other than that, he can be quite the nuisance."

Shadow blinked, finding this two both to be quite odd. He followed Puss in Boots alongside the donkey with Eddie Murphy's face on as they seemed to be taking him somewhere or because he had nowhere else to go.


Soon, the gang arrived at an house near the swamp as Smash Mouth's "All Star" begins to play with Shrek taking an bath.

Shadow first gazed at him and couldn't believe it. Shrek was the most fucking sexiest man Shadow has ever seen in the world! If he could, he would make out with him in an heartbeat however, still wasn't over Maria. So, the edgy hedgehog was confused.

Shrek noticed the presence of his friends alongside an unfamiliar face. He couldn't help but stare a bit, finding Shadow to be quite adorable. It was perfectly an match made in heaven yet he had Fiona. He didn't want to crush her heart even though he felt bad for hiding who he truly was, an hot, beautiful bishreksual ogre.

So, he quickly went to get dressed and went to see what Donkey wanted now.

"Ey, who's the new guy?" said Shrek.

"I don't know! I just found him in the woods," Donkey answered. "Can we keep him? Pleeeease!"

Shrek sighed. "Donkey, people aren't pets. He might have his own family to go to."

"Actually, I have no family... they're gone."

Wondering who said that, Shrek turned around and noticed Shadow. He was broken and hot, his weakness! The green ogre figured since he had Puss in Boots and Donkey along with the rest of the fairy tales living at his swamp, he could take an another person in.

"... Perhaps you can stay with us for awhile until your ready to find your way back home," the ogre informed.

"... I'd like that."

And so, their friendship began. It was unlike any other friendship as it only grew stronger and perhaps, even turned into love.


As Shrek and Shadow got to know each other as two months passed, their love for one another grew. However, all good things must come to an end as with friendships, bonding and love there is also conflict. Apparently Shadow knew his time was almost up as he didn't belong at the swamp of with the new found friends that he made. Instead, he needed something more, he needed to do edgy things again and go back to the city. This peaceful life was not for him so, he involved Shrek's friends to include Fiona in an dire mission.

Least to say barely anyone survived and Shrek found out. So, feeling replaced, the ogre felt that his time well, was truly ogre.

Shadow looking at the ogre, softly said, "Shrek…"

He stood up and watched him walk away. He then ran towards him and said to himself, "You can't leave this place!"

He ran after him along the path as Shrek stopped and looked up at the sky. He then heard an voice shout, "Shrek!"

Turning around, he saw Shadow panting for breath. He said, "Shadow?"

Shadow yelled out, "Y-you idiot!"

Shrek jumped.

"What were you thinking about leaving?! You can't leave us behind!" his eyes began to fill with tears as he cried, "Please Shrek, don't leave…not now, please. I wouldn't know what to do without you. Shrek, I didn't mean to lie to you. I was only saying those things to protect Fiona and all of the others from dire peril."

Shrek looked at Shadow with a sad look on his face as the hedgehog spoke.

Shadow continued, "You know I would never lie to you. You're one of my best friends ever since we first met. You can't stay angry at me. I don't want to lose you like I lost Maria."

Shrek, being lost with words smiled softly like the beautiful, handsome, hot, sexy ogre he is. Soon however, he narrowed his brow to me.

"You're toying with me, aren't you," he said in his thick Scottish Mike Meyers accent.

"I'M NOT LYING!" Shadow cried.

"You mean so much to me! You're my best buddy ever! But when you went mad and tried to hurt me, it broke me. It's like a side of you that I've never seen before. I thought that I'm get to see the old, sweet-hearted Shrek ever again. Throughout the months I've spent here, I never did anything to make you angry. I never lied, Shrek."

Soon, Shadow got down on his knees, and screamed.

"I NEVER LIED! YOU GOTTA BELIEVE ME THAT I NEVER LIED!"

Tears begin welling up as Shadow began bawling. Shrek was taken aback and at loss for words. He couldn't believe it as part of him felt awful seeing Shadow in such an dire state. It was like watching an puppy get kicked around.

He yelled out, "Please forgive me, Shrek the Ogre!"

Soon, Shadow heard the magic words.

"I forgive you Shadow. I always have."

Shadow kept crying softly. He then felt something wrap around his neck. He looked down and saw Shrek kneeling on the ground, deeply embracing him with his hot ogre muscles and smiling.

Shrek said, "I forgive you, lad...I always have."

Shadow gasped and said softly, "Shrek..."

He then clung onto Shrek and embraced him once more, crying his eyes out. Shrek hugged him back and began patting him on the back as he hummed softly. Shadow said between sobs, "Shrek, I knew you would always forgive me."

Shrek chuckled.

"Aye, of course lad. After all, you're special to me. I thought Fiona was the one for me but then I've met you..."

"...Shrek, what are you saying?!"

"Shadow, I love you with all my heart. Will you go out with me?"

The hedgehog paused for an moment before grinning wide. Tears came back once again but this time they were the tears of happiness.

'Of course Shrek as I love you do."

The two lovers kissed passionately under the sun as fireworks began going off out of nowhere. It was really true love.


Shadow got up, remembering that he was with Ragyo while Shrek had Elsa. He saw the hot ogre looking at his phone, as if he was reading countless text messages from someone.

"Leaving so soon?" Shadow gently whispered.

"Aye," Shrek replied. "Got important matters to attend to."

"Please come back when we return from Melee City, that's if we ever do," the edgy hedgehog softly whispered.

"I shall."

With those words, Shrek began making his way out the window but stopped as he remembered something. He glanced over at his one true love as he knew someone's life was at stake if he didn't inform anyone, even if it was an hedgehog as their weakness along with other Sonic characters happens to be water!

"Shadow, before I go! I want to inform you that someone is stuck at the bottom of the stream! Get help immediately!"

With those words, Shadow stormed out, giving Shrek some time to escape as he hoped they read his warning plea.


As Dr. Mario and Nui began journeying their way towards Melee City, the young girl felt eyes gazing at them. Being on guard, she took out her purple scissor sword and pointed it towards an bush.

"Show yourself! I promise you won't be harmed the faster you come out," she said, giggling gleefully at the last part.

Dr. Mario wondered who was even trailing them or if they even caught sight of their devious plans. After all, he wouldn't want any word of Grima's possible death nor his secret intentions at Melee City getting out, now would he? So, he took out one of his magical pills just in case it was an enemy ambush or just an simple threat.

There came out an familiar devious ring known as Wizzro as he raised his hands up, exchanging an sinister grin.

"Ehehehe... I mean no harm," said the evil wizard. "In fact, your team has proven to be an lot stronger more so than those bratty children, that scumbag Marc or even that horrible Mistress of mine!"

"Hm?"

Nui smiled, tilting her head as she whispered something to Dr. Mario.

"Should we even trust this guy? I mean his stupid master is that fat goddess herself!" she stated.

"Well," said Dr Mario. He took out an special book, being the Hyrule Warriors Prima Guide as it had information on every character to include additional things. He opened up Wizzro's profile as it revealed that this piece of garbage is in fact, known for being an traitor. He's done it once, he's done it again and not afraid to do it once more. After all, he prefers stronger people and not being an annoying toy to the Lancias.

"According to this factual book," said the devious doctor,"he's known for betraying the Lancias' plenty of times. He practically hates them so he might be of use, even better the perfect ally! Wizzro might help make it easier to obtain the Essence of Time from her! Besides, it's better we get it first before Shrek and those other softies get it!"

"True... say wait, why do we have to please Yoshi before Shrek does anyways?!" questioned the anime girl.

"Well, because I've been having second thoughts lately. Something tells me that Shrek has gotten quite soft, his onion layers aren't all what they seem to be," he replied, informing Nui.

"That makes sense."

Wizzro rolled his eye, yawning as they seemed to whisper back and fourth. He wondered what the hell they were even going on about or why they were wasting his precious time. If he had an army, they would have been wiped out by now so these two evil doers still had an lot of learning to do. After all, Wizzro did know war tactics since he and Volga did most of the work while Cia sat on her fatass making more shitty Legend of Cia scenarios.

Soon, Nui and Dr. Mario turned towards the scumbag once more.

"Alright, it's been decided that you are valuable to us," said Dr. Mario.

"In fact, we have the perfect plan for you!"

Nui, Dr. Mario and Wizzro talked about the plan, informing him about everything to include the League of Super Evil and how powerful they were bound to grow. So, they told him to act as if nothing happened as Wizzro was to stay with Kynthia for good reasons. The three chuckled evilly as their meeting came to an end.

Little did they know, the Hot Topic Krew and the Resistance had an traitor among the Temple of Souls and his name was Wizzro.


And that ends that Mini Special which does transition into Chaptar 20. I will be getting that ASAP and try to get it done because thankfully the other chaptars after that are shorter ones. Plus, decided to add in a bit more insight of what's going on with the others.

This was the most heartfelt chapter ever written. Shrek and Shadow's love for one another truly is something and deep. In fact, I think they have one of the deepest, if not the most deepest relationship in the story. Grima and Kynthia come in second place though because an man to love her regardless of who she is, what she looked like, etc. is truly heartwarming as well.

Until next time friends!

When will Morshu learn about the Lancia family weakness(being salad)?! Well, that will be found out in Chaptar 20 of course.
