Shadow's Odyssey 2: The Chaos Continues

Sidious was absolutely furious as he watched his fleet get torn apart by the random people of the galaxy. His entire plan hinged on the galaxy being afraid.

The remaining Grievous android looked to him for orders. "My Lord, we are outnumbered, what do we do?"

Sidious didn't answer. He raised his hand and crushed the android with the Force. It was clear that his plan had failed. He needed to start over, bide his time, wait for the galaxy to become weak and complacent again. Sidious fled to his emergency escape ship.


Shadow and Petro looked up at the sky and watched the triumphant fireworks display of their enemy being destroyed.

"People actually came." Shadow marveled aloud.

"I knew they would." Petro replied.

"So, what do you think will happen to the galaxy now?"

"Well, all the planets in the galaxy have just been forced to realize just how much they need each other. I think we can expect the Galactic Republic to reform."

"But won't that eventually just evolve into corruption again?" Shadow asked.

"Probably. But when they do, the Jedi Order will be there to straighten them out again."

Our heroes assembled back at the temple.

"What exactly is this meeting for?" Han complained. "Didn't we just win?"

"It's not over yet. Sidious is still alive." Bo-Katan pointed out. "And he still has control over the Mandalorians."

"Well, we could still blow up Mandalore." Boba suggested.

Bo-Katan pointed her blaster at him. "Say that again, and I'll blow your head off."

Han stared at Boba. "Jeez, you're really willing to blow up your own planet."

"He is not a Mandalorian!" Bo-Katan hissed.

"He looks like one."

"There's more to being a Mandalorian than just the armor! Mandalorians have a code of honor!"

"The only thing honor's good for is getting yourself killed." Boba stated. "In fact, isn't it your stupid code of honor that allowed Sidious to take over Mandalore in the first place?"

That shut Bo-Katan up, though it didn't stop her from glaring.

"We are not blowing up Mandalore." Shadow said.

"Wait a second, shouldn't Shadow still be the leader of the Mandalorians since he's not dead?" Katooni wondered.

"Technically yes, but if he were to go back and reclaim his title, he would be forced to fight Sidious in a one-on-one duel." Bo-Katan explained.

"And Sidious can't be killed." Petro added.

"There has to be some way of killing him." Anakin insisted.

"Not as long as he's connected to the Force." Rouge said tiredly.

"Well, we have to do something! Sidious is probably coming up with his next plan right now." Anakin grumbled. "If we wait too long, he'll be ten steps ahead of us all over again."

"And he still has one of the Chaos Emeralds." Knuckles reminded them.

"And Eggman has gone missing and we need to find him!" Omega exclaimed.

Sonic blinked. "Has no one told him yet?"

"Told me what?"

"I killed him." Bo-Katan said.

"You did what? But I called 'dibs'!"

Rouge patted Omega's shoulder. "Sorry, Omega. She didn't know you called dibs."

"Okay so, beating Sidious, who's got ideas?" Sonic asked the room.

"Well, if we can't kill him, I'm not so sure we can." Han said.

"What if we captured him alive?" Leia suggested next.

"He would still eventually die of old age, allowing him to escape." Petro argued. "And that's if we manage to catch him at all."

Knuckles groaned loudly in frustration. "Isn't there anything that can stop him from using that power?"

Petro slumped in his seat. "I'm afraid not."

But Tails, who had been quietly thinking until now, was struck with an idea. "Wait, there is a way!"


Sidious was on a large ship hovering over the planet Mandalore. After his major setback, he decided to take his army of Mandalorians and flee into the unknown regions of space, where he could remain hidden while he devised his new plan.

"Captain, is the evacuation complete?"

"Yes, sir. We're ready for departure."

"Wait, we got another straggler coming in!"

Sidious narrowed his eyes at the ship. "That's not one of ours."

"They're sending us a transmission sir."

"Put it through."

A hologram of Shadow appeared. The surrounding Mandalorians gasped in shock.

"I believe you have something that belongs to me." Shadow said coolly.

"You want this back?" Sidious taunted, holding up the Darksaber. "You know there's only one way to take it from me."

"I'll meet you in the hanger. We can settle the score there." Shadow ended the transmission.


The small ship landed in the hanger of the bigger ship.

"Are you sure this is gonna work?" Anakin questioned.

"Sidious has to accept the challenge." Petro reassured. "Otherwise, he'll look weak and he'd lose the loyalty of the Mandalorians."

Also, in the ship were Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Omega, and Rouge. Sonic decided to speak up.

"Yeah, but Shadow still has to survive."

They all exited the ship. Sidious was outside, waiting for them with a squad of Mandalorians. Each side formed a circle around Sidious and Shadow.

Sidious ignited the Darksaber. "You were a fool to come back."

Shadow ignited Petro's lightsaber, which he borrowed for the sake of this duel. "I'd be more of a fool to ignore you."

They leapt towards each other and clashed blades. They got into a blade lock, blue against black.

"Why are you actually here? We both know you can't actually beat me in a fight." Sidious whispered so no one else could hear.

"You're not as powerful as you think you are."

Sidious scowled and shoved him back. He shot lightning at the hedgehog who dodged by teleporting behind his opponent. Sidious angerly turned around and tried again. Shadow appeared behind him again, tossing the green Emerald up and down.

"Thanks for teaching me how to dodge lightning by the way."

Sidious rushed at him with the Darksaber and bashed his blade against Shadow's over and over again. But Shadow's defense remained strong. Sidious broke off his attack.

"Enough." He simply started Force Choking Shadow. "If you won't tell me why you're here, then I'll find out myself." Sidious focused and dove into Shadow's mind, searching for answers. In his mind, he saw Rouge sneaking away from the circle during the fight. Sidious quickly retreated from the hedgehog's mind and looked to see that the bat was indeed missing. Sidious looked back at Shadow. "Your friends cannot help you."

"Oh, I'm not helping. I just went to get him a gift!" Rouge smugly held up the red Emerald before tossing it to Shadow.

Shadow caught the Emerald. It and the other six began to spin around him. He absorbed the power of the seven Emeralds and his body erupted in a golden glow. Sidious was forced to shield his eyes from the bright light. When he looked again, Super Shadow stood before him.

Sidious couldn't help but let out a chuckle. "So, what difference does this make? You still can't kill me. And while you may be invincible now, your power will eventually run out."

Shadow calmly removed his inhibitor rings.

"Unlike you, my power has no limits!"

Shadow smiled. "We'll see about that. CHAOS… CONTROL!"

Shadow's body glowed brightly, blinding everyone again. Sidious tensed, waiting for the attack but it never came. He opened his eyes again to see Shadow lying flat on his back, his golden quills fading to their usual black.

Sidious erupted into laughter. "You fool! Once again, you've wasted your opportunity." He raised his hands. "Now you will experience the full power of the Dark Side!"

Sidious prepared to fry him with the biggest blast of lightning he could summon, only for a few tiny sparks to leave his fingertips.

Sidious was stunned by his own pitiful display. "What?" He tried again, and again, but got the same result each time.

Shadow's friends started to laugh.

"What have you done to me?" Sidious shouted in rage.

Tails stepped forward to explain. "You might be strong with the Force, but the Force doesn't exist here."

"Welcome to Mobius!" Sonic cheered.

The Mandalorians rushed to the windows through which they could see lush green hills.

Sidious was panicking now. He was so powerful that the only thing he had to fear was losing that power. He looked back at Shadow's prone form and narrowed his eyes.

"I can still kill you!"

Sidious charged with the Darksaber extended but his strike was blocked by Anakin's blade. He punched the Sith with his other hand. Sidious fell and Anakin took the Darksaber away from him. He looked up at Anakin as he towered over him.

"Lord Vader-"

"Don't call me that!" Anakin held the two lightsabers to Sidious's throat.

For a few seconds, they just stared at each other.

"What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to fulfill your stupid prophecy?" Sidious spat.

"No."

Sidious looked at him in confusion. "No?"

"You're beaten. Balance has been restored. You have no power here." Anakin deactivated the lightsabers. "And a Jedi never kills in anger. Like I told you before, I'm not like you."

Sidious still had one trick left. "Mandalorians! Kill them!"

But they didn't move. They just looked down at him.

Anakin smirked. "It looks like you're not the boss around here anymore." He held up the Darksaber. "Find a nice prison cell to lock him in while we get his trial set up."
