Chapter 44: The Family vs The Tribunal

"Breaking News! A series of battles are taking place around, the Hero Tribunals forces known as GUN are currently in conflict with seems to be teenagers that battled with the villain that launched all the nuclear warheads. We go live to the scene now." A reporter interrupted every show that was going as the people watching got a live look at a battle in the middle of the street.

The battle showed Team Espio and Rose battling with Kizaru, GUN forces were trapped in between them, but that was not it. There was more going on as another chopper goes to a car lot to show Fujitora using his powers to prevent Team Sonic from moving, all three teenagers were pinned to the earth.

There was another live look this time at Endeavor's home of all places, this scene showed nothing but fire as Blaze, Magma, and Endeavor utilized their powers to destroy each other. The last shot was at Nemuri house, there were bodies of soldiers littered about and the one man was standing behind Shadow.

The Family was currently engaged in conflict with the Hounds of Justice, a conflict they knew they had to win. If they lose they risk being captured by the Tribunal and that is something that is not going to happen.

"We know not why GUN has engaged in these battles with these teenagers, but rest assured. We will find out and keep you updated." Wesker finished watching the news cast and turned it off, he expected the Tribunal to make its move when he made his appearance. He saw this coming and knew that the dogs would go after his children.

Wesker grabbed the glass cup that contained the hard alcoholic drink in it, he smiled as he brought it to his lips. Wesker downed the drink as he sat up, he was not going out, no he had used more power than he had liked when he fought the Family. His body needs rest, but while it was doing so Wesker began looking out from his office window.

He saw the many agents at work and saw the new recruits that had arrived from the super villain prisons, so much talent was at his beck and call. The chairman was so close, so close to his goal.

All he needed was just a few more pieces and then he will have what he has always wanted. The ultimate power to change the world. When he has that, that is when he will do what everyone else failed to do. He will save the world. All he has to do now is wait.

With Team Dark

Cold. That is the feeling that Shadow was feeling as he looked at the man behind him. A man that controlled ice like no other and a man that he has done battle with countless times. The Hound of Justice known as Aokiji, the man that is currently on his mother's front lawn with his stoic expression. Aokiji hasn't seen the teen in many years, in fact the last time that they did battle he caused him a great injury that almost cost him his life and his job.

The ice man could see that the eyes of the living weapon had not changed over the years, they were still cold as ever and that was saying something since he was a man that could control ice itself.

"It's been a long time Aokiji." Shadow said to him as he was still on top of the soldier and Aokiji did not fail to notice that his red dagger was still in hand. He would need to watch out for that and the two behind him. Then there was the robot and the bat as well, but his true problem was the boy in front of him and her.

"Same to you, Shadow. Mind doing me a favor and surrendering, I rather not do this in front of your Nemuri." Shadow took notice of how he called his mother by her first name and with the emotion in it. Did his mother and Aokiji have a connection to each other? Well the teen got that answer when his mother decided to intervene in all this madness.

"Aokiji!" Aokji didn't take his eyes off of Shadow, he did as the teen would move at the moment notice.

"Nemuri, get back inside. Now." Aokiji ordered her, but he forgot that this is Nemuri home and she was not a woman to be ordered around.

"Get the hell off of my property and leave my son out of this." Aokiji didn't have time for this and he didn't want to deal with this...not now anyway, but also knew that he had to especially when he realized that his ex-girlfriend had decided to take in a living weapon.

"Nemuri listen-" Aokiji turned to her for a moment and that moment was all that Shadow needed to move and Aokiji saw it. Aokiji had fought Shadow many times and trained the reaction time of his powers, he was not going to let the teen go anywhere. The moment Shadow leapt at Aokiji to take him down, the hound unleashed a wave of ice by ushering two words.

"Ice Age." When the words left his mouth Aokiji fired a wave of ice from his spot and turned everything and everyone that was in the radius into a block of ice.

Shadow was frozen just as he thrusted his dagger in the face of the iceman to kill him, Omega quickly blasted his arm at Nemuri to get her away from the ice and he grabbed Rouge to wrap her around him to protect her. When the ice came Omega back was frozen and so was Rouge, but Nemuri who was shoved back into the house and avoided the ice.

Nemuri quickly got up from the tile in her room and ran back outside to see that her entire front yard had been turned into the arctic. There was ice everywhere, the soldiers were frozen, the grass was frozen, the flowers, Omega and Rouge were frozen, and most of all her son was frozen. The only one that was not was the man that caused all of it to happen in the first place and that was Aokiji.

Aokiji gave an apologetic look to his ex, but she didn't care for it and before they could talk they heard the ice crack from right next to the hound. Aokiji's face became serious again as he turned around to see the ice be fully broken and out came Shadow with a steaming hot glare directed at the dog.

The teen was grinding his teeth together, that was cold what he just felt right now. Aokiji took his hands out of his pocket and put them together, soon a sharp icicle was formed to be his sword. Shadow growled at him as he opened both his hands to create two red daggers, both weapon and hound were ready to kill each other and it didn't matter that the woman they both cared the most was right in front of them.

Shadow dashed at Aokiji as the long awaited rematch between Shadow and the iceman began, but this was just one of the many battles that was happening around the area between the Family and the Hounds.

With Team Chaotix and Rose

Espio and Amy's cell team were trapped, at the end both streets were the GUN trucks with soldiers coming out of it. They were even surrounded by their drones, Smoker was down and laid out on the car, and to make matters worse Kizaru was here. Kizaru was the fastest of all the hounds, maybe faster than Sonic.

He is a man that can move at the speed of light and use that light to his will to fight his enemies. Espio had done battle with him and he almost lost, if it wasn't for Trinity agents arriving at the last minute he might've died by the hands of Kizaru.

"I'll ask this again, children. Do you know what it's like to be kicked at the speed of light?" No answered the hound, but all of them were still on guard for what he might do.

"No, then let's find out then." They widened their eyes when they saw Kizaru vanish in a blink of an eye, they all looked around to see where he was and it was Beast Boy that would get the answer. In his gorilla form the young teen widened his primal eyes as he saw Kizaru appear right before him with his foot coming right at him.

Beast Boy had no time to block or shift as Kizaru judo kicked him right in the face and sent him into the building across the street. "Beast Boy!" The older teens yelled as they heard the crash of their little brother. Kizaru smirked as he was not done, there were still some criminals that needed to be taken down. His next target would be the gambler, the light man teleported right to Gambit position and was about to blast him away with a finger blast, but Espio put a stop to that by grabbing his arm.

"Oh, and here I thought that you were not going to give me a challenge." Espio answered the call by punching Kizaru right in the face, but the man was able to dodge it as he turned into light and phased through the punch. Kizaru reassembled himself on a light pole, he perched on it as Espio glared at him.

"Take out GUN, he's mine." Espio told the rest as he charged at the man with a blade created from his energy. Kizaru decided to humor the teen and created a blade from his own light energy, now both began to duel with their swords.

Bumble Bee decided to listen to her cell leader, she shrunk her size making the drones fire their guns at her. Even though she was miniature did not mean that their bullets could not hit her, if she was not able careful the large bullet would tear her to shreds. GUN soldiers surrounded the members of Team Rose and that made Amy smile.

"Kitty," Shadowcat smiled mischievously and that smile would lead her to sink into the ground, the bullets that were fired at her were nothing. When she popped back up she stabbed the man in front of her with her dagger, she then went to the one next to him and phased right through him only to deliver a swing kick.

Gambit quickly used his staff to knock one soldier off his feet, he then flicked a card at a solider caused an explosion that destroyed his gun. Gambit then used his staff again to slam it into the ribs of the soldier and then kicked him to the side. Amy decided to blast the soldiers in front of her with her quake powers, she didn't like being crowded.

"You soldiers are nothing to my siblings." Espio told Kizaru as they continued to battle with their swords, Kizaru was quite good with it and Espio took notice of that. The teen deflected a slash only for his next strike too parried and for his mistake he was hit with a devastating light kick that sent him to the side. Espio stopped his slide by plunging his weapon into the ground.

"Did you really think that I came alone? I know how you cell team fight, so I decided to bring back up." On cue a loud animalistic roar was heard and it was not coming from Beast Boy, it came from the end of the street. Amy turned her eyes to the end to see the trucks being moved and the one that was causing it was some kind of wildebeest looking creature.

"Wildebeest," Amy whispered, she had read of him in the files in Trinity HQ, this was not going to be easy as she thought. Wildebeest like the animal that he was dragged his left leg on the ground, he was about to charge at her like a raging bull. Amy pink hair set him off, you know bulls and bright colors especially when it comes to red.

Wildebeest roared as he charged at Amy, he was coming at her with his top speed, but Amy was not afraid. In fact she just stood where she was and let the animal come to her, when it got close Wildebeest was tackled into a building by the recovered Beast Boy.

The young teen had seen the ragging animal charge at his sister, so he decided to charge at him as well as a bull. Beast Boy was dealing with Wildebeest, Bumble Bee and Gambit were dealing with the drones, and Espio was dealing with Kizaru...why not she join in as well.

Amy smirked at the idea of fighting the hound, but the plan would soon come to a halt as another one of Kizaru allies struck her with a thunderous punch that had her bouncing off the canvas. When Amy stopped her bouncing by slowing her momentum, she looked up to see that it was a woman with brown hair and wearing viking outfit.

"Valkyrie. Guess I will deal with this cunt." Valkyrie sneered at the pink haired teenager when she called her cunt. The older woman will make her pay when she gets her hands on her, her strength was par with the strongest of men. Some even say that she was blessed by the viking gods and given the strength of the valkyries.

Amy however did not care as she made fist, she was going to send her and these trucks away. Amy made fist and both hands and called her power, she then as Valkyrie charged at her slammed her fists into the ground and like when she fought Wesker she broke the invisible glass.

Amy shattered the pink glass and created a massive earthquake with her powers that had the entire block shaking. The trucks tipped over, the soldiers were in disarray, Kizaru looked at the ground with a curious look, and Smoker woke up.

The smoke man rubbed his head and looked around at his surroundings, he only had five seconds to piece together what was going on. Smoker didn't hesitate to turn into a cloud of smoke and head straight towards the charging valkyrie. Smoker tackled her down to the ground and looked at Amy.

"Go help Espio! I'll deal with her!" Smoker told her as Valkyrie tried to smash his head in with a single punch, but the man turned his head into vapor. He blasted the warrior woman with his hands and sent her crashing into a car.

When he had enough space Smoker reformed himself, his job was already so he might as well help his best friend's children out. He just hoped that wherever the others are they will be doing fine.

With Team Blaze

Fires were everywhere and next to it were pools of magma, two fire users in Endeavor and Blaze were fighting against GUN forces and the mad dog known as Akainu. Blaze and Akainu fist colluded with each other, her red hot flames against his hot magma clashed with each other. Neither side won the clash as both attacks blasted both users away.

Blaze quickly recovered and clapped her hands together to send a flame arch at the magma man, Akainu saw the flames and just stomped his foot on the ground creating an eruption of lava to come from the earth. The lava blocked the flames and Akainu enough time to launch his next attack.

"Hell Hound!" Akainu's hands turned into molten hot magma and he fired them at Blaze. The hellcat saw two magma-like dogs come from the pillar of lava, they were coming right at her like the mad dogs they were. Blaze quickly began to twirl on her feet like a ballerina, she soon began a whirlwind of flames that surrounded her.

"Flame Top!" Blaze now looked like a flaming spin top that could not be touched and it showed when the dogs neared her she kicked them with her increased speed. Blaze was not done yet as she jumped into the air all while spinning, the leader of Team Blaze dove straight forward with flaming foot outward to take off Akainu's head.

Blaze attacked the mad dog, but she went through him. She knew that Akainu had turned his body into magma at the last second and avoided the kick. The teen just growled like a cat as she saw the man reform himself, turning to face her.

Akainu turned his back and that was a mistake for his face was driven into the dirt by none other than Endeavor, the flame hero had not forgotten that the reason why his property was a battlefield right now was because of this man and let's not forget that he tried to arrest his wife.

Endeavor in his elemental fire form dragged Akainu head into the dirt, he didn't get his license striped. Akainu threatened his wife, he attacked his family, and he ruined his home. Endeavor was going to make this man hurt and he was going to do it badly.

Enji continued to drag the dog's head into the ground, his feet were moving forward as he continued to do so. Endeavor lifted up Akainu's head and threw into the gate that surrounded his home, the magma man crashed into the cement with thunderous impact.

With Akainu down for the moment Endeavor turned his head to the red headed woman that had come onto his property. "Who are you?" Endeavor demanded an answer, Blaze's answer would determine if she would get attacked by the flame man.

"I'm Shadow's older sister." Endeavor did have time to question it as the wall that Akaniu was thrown into erupted into lava and magma, the flame users turned their heads back to the hound of justice to see him walking through the rubble, drops of magma was coming down his face and melting the earth beneath his feet.

"Very well Endeavor, if you wish to be a criminal then so be it. I will kill you as well. All criminals are scum that plagued this earth and those that help them are no better." Akainu's eyes saw red as he planted both hands on the ground, the man channeled his powers into the earth and the flame users saw a trial of red coming straight towards them. They knew what was coming and knew that they needed to get out of the radius, lucky for him Sliver came to the rescue.

Blaze and Endeavor's bodies flew into the air thanks to the silver haired teen's powers, both pyrokinetics bodies glowing in a green color as Silver lifted them up with his hands. "Sliver, I love you so much!" Blaze thanked her lover and Silver nodded his head, Endeavor took notice of the silver haired teen and saw the gold rings on his wrist. Enji remembers that Izuku has the same gold rings on his wrist, perhaps Blaze was telling the truth.

That last part would have to wait as Akainu was ready to deliver his next attack, the man launched his arms up into the air, but before he could pull the trigger Mystique blasted him with a grenade launcher.

The large round hit Akainu in his chest, but his body only turned too magma to avoid the damage. The shape filter cursed and fired another round, but it had the same effect. Akainu had gotten stronger since they last saw him, all members of Team Blaze could see this. This fight was going to go a lot longer than they hoped, they just that the rest were alright.

With Team Sonic

"AAAAAAHHHH!" Team Sonic screamed in unison as Fujitora's gravity powers kept them pinned to the concrete. Knuckles gritted his teeth, he saw that his brothers were trapped and without Sonic legs they didn't have a great chance of getting out of here. Knuckles needed to get free of this gravity prison and the only way was to power out of it, that meant it was time to get angry.

"If you surrender peacefully the pain will stop." Fujitora told them in a gentle voice as he slammed his walking stick on the ground to increase the pressure. Knuckles glared at the old blind man, he was getting more and more pissed.

Knuckles felt his body stronger thanks to his anger, he began to push up and by doing so the gravity prison began to break. Fujitora may be blind but he was no ordinary blind man. By the loss of his sight his other senses were strengthened ten fold, he could hear Knuckles grunts, he could feel the pressure in his gravity force being weakened.

"RAAAAHHHH!" Knuckles screamed as he began to get up, he was at his knees now and he was so close to being free. The dark skinned teen, but Fujitora was not going to let that happen. The man slammed his walking stick down on the ground much harder this time making a click sound be heard and when that stick hit the ground Knuckles felt more pressure on him.

"Stay down." Knuckles was not going to take orders, especially from an old dog like Fujitora. He was the muscle of Team Sonic, a powerhouse of the Family, he was not going to be stopped.

Fujitora widened his blind eyes when he felt the power of Knuckles, red energy erupted from where Knuckles was and the teen began to rise to his feet. He didn't care how much gravity Fujitora put on him, nothing would be enough to keep him down.

"RAAAAH!" Knuckles screamed as he broke from the gravitational weight, but he did not stand for long as he dashed as Fujitora with the intent to kill. The old dog grabbed his walking stick, he grabbed the hilt of it and unsheathed the hidden blade that was in the cane.

Knuckles struck the blade with his right fist, the blade did not break though, whatever metal it was made off made sure that it did not give to the power of Knuckles. Knuckles did not stop though as he continued the assault on Fujitora, the muscle man constantly attacking the blade with his mighty fist.

Fujitora began to get pushed back, but he was not worried. His face kept the calm demeanor of a samurai as Knuckles ready his next strike. The moment pause was Fujitora's need as he was blown by Knuckles and the teen didn't even see him.

All Knuckles did was turn to see the old dog sheath his blade, the blade was back in the sheathed and Knuckles had blood spout from his chest. Fujitora cut him and he didn't even see it, that cut made Knuckles collapse to his knee, but even that devasting wound to his body Knuckles laughed.

Fujitora heard the laughter come from Knuckles, he turned his head to the black boy and looked at him. Knuckles spit out some blood and held his wound, but kept his smile. "Gotcha, motherfucker." Fujitora widened his blind eyes when he heard the whips in the air, it was Sonic and he was moving.

Sonic saw the blind eyed samurai, he rushed past him and knocked him down to the ground. Sonic then jumped in the air, the drones above him tried to fire their weapons at him, but he was just too fast. Sonic landed on the first drone, he then bounced off of it and headed to the next drone when he crashed into it. Sonic was not done as he bounced off of that said drone and continued to do so for the rest and when he was done Sonic had destroyed six drones in total.

The blue haired teen smirked and brushed his nose with his thumb, he looked too Fujitora to see him getting up. 'Big mistake.' Sonic thought as he began to run over to Fujitora, the man had risen and with his stick in hand. Sonic smiled as he got closer to him, there was no way that Fujitora could see his attack coming, even with his heightened senses, but Sonic was wrong.

Fujitora may not be able see his attack coming, but the man had trained in the arts of being samurai and one thing that the samurai were famously known for was predicting the movement of their enemies. Fujitora waited till the right moment to strike and when Sonic got close to his body Fujitora opened his blind eyes and quickly unsheathed his silver blade.

He made a swipe motion with his blade and Sonic widened his eyes, he was too close to move around it so he had one option left. Sonic slid down to dodge the blade and narrowly and I mean narrowly avoided it. Sonic dodged it in time, but boy was it close. The blade nearly touched his nose and cut a piece of his hair off. When he completely dodged the blade he got up from his knees.

"Holy shit," Sonic whispered, Knuckles patted on his back to let him know that he was here. He got his back on in this fight. Tails arrived next to Sonic, he didn't have anything that could help and judging from the looks of everyone else they would not be coming as well. Team Sonic was on their own as Fujitora turned to face them, his blade was out as he got ready to unleash his next attack.

Fujitora's body had a purple aura surrounding it, the man lifted his sword into the air. Soon all the cars and debris in the area rose into the air thanks to the power of Fujitora. Team Sonic watched as they saw all the objects start to form a ball in the sky and it wasn't long before the three were lifted into the air as well.

"Sonic!" Tails screamed, he was the first one to start to go, Sonic grabbed hold of him and it wasn't long before he went up as well.

"Shit!" Sonic cursed as his feet were now off of the ground and Tails were still going up. Knuckles grabbed the leg of Sonic and used his left hand to anchor himself to the ground. The muscle of Team Sonic dug his hands into the ground to prevent the others from going up into the air, but it wasn't enough and the force pulled Knuckles in as well.

"AAAHH!" All three members screamed as they were hauled up into the air, now all three members of Team Sonic were heading for the sphere shaped object that was created by Fujitora.

"No matter how strong you are, you will not escape my brand of justice." Fujitora spoke aloud as he raised his sword higher and sent more objects into the sky, he planned on crushing them. Sonic saw more objects coming at them, he narrowed his eyes. He grabbed both Tails and Knuckles, then went into his chaos cowl mode.

The blue lighting had appeared around Sonic, with his new mode activated Sonic planted his feet on a car hood and then jumped off it with all his might. The blue streak was now created as Sonic zigzagged his way down, he bounced off of all the debris that Fujitora was sending up and was slowly making his way up.

"Hmm," Fujitora could sense that Sonic was coming down and decided to amp up the power. Just as Team Sonic was getting close to ground level they felt their bodies be pulled back up, but Sonic still had one trick up his sleeve.

"Chaos Control!" When Sonic yelled those two words his rings glowed a bright golden color and soon a bright light appeared and suddenly time stopped. Sonic was the only one that was moving, Tails and Knuckles were frozen as well Fujitora. Sonic's Chaos Control stopped everything, but he didn't have time to dilly dally.

Sonic needed to get his brothers out of here and away from Fujitora. Sonic came to the ground and started to run, his control over space and time would not last much longer in fact it was starting to return to normal now.

When time had returned to normal Fujitora was standing in front of nothing, the teens were gone and he was left all by himself. "Oh, it seems they ran away. Well we can't have that can we." Fujitora used his gravity powers to fly in the air and he began to track down Team Sonic.

Sonic had separated them far enough from Fujitora, but the boy was tired. He had used too much of his energy and he still had not recovered from his battle with his father. *Grumble* That sound was coming from Sonic's stomach, he had not eaten in some while and the more speed he used the more his metabolism burns, meaning stomach was going to kill him before anyone else. He needed to get some food, he needed to refill.

"Uhh…" Sonic felt weak, damn he was so low on energy. Knuckles saw that his boss was banged up and grabbed him. Before Sonic could even pass out Knuckles tossed him over his shoulder.

"Tails, we gotta keep moving." Tails nodded, his head began to spin his tails, he started to fly in the air and while Knuckles held onto Sonic he powered jumped up to the rooftops. Team Sonic didn't stand a chance against Fujitora especially not now when they lost their leader. Right now they needed to regroup with the others and come up with a new plan.

With Team Dark

Shadow jumped in the air to avoid the beam of ice from Aokiji, he landed on the ground, but did not stay there for long as he jumped in the air again. Aokiji continued blasting beams of ice at the teen, each beam missed and stained the ground with ice. Shadow kept on avoiding, he was not defensive, instead he was stalling for time.

Shadow looked past Aokiji and saw that his teammates were still frozen, he had broken out first thanks to his immense strength. It was only a matter of time before Omega ice-defensives heat up and melt himself and Rouge out of their prison.

"You never ran this much before, Shadow." Shadow ignored the jab and kept on dodging the now shards of ice, these were much faster than the beams.

Shadow did not respond back to the all jab, he just kept buying time. Omega power systems activated and soon the ice that covered himself and Rouge started to melt. The ice began to heat up and crack and with the cracking Omega was able to force himself and Rouge out.

"Th-Than-Thanks, O." Rouge was freezing, but being near Omega's warm mechanical body was helping a little. Omega nodded his head, he soon let go of Rouge. The machine could see that Shadow was avoiding the hound, so Omega decided to intervene. Omega turned his left hand into a machine gun, he pointed the round barrel at Aokiji and fired.

"Stop-" Akoji could not finish his words as Omega let loose his bullets. The iceman felt the bullets go through him, he could sustain that forever, so Aokju jumped in the air.

Omega kept firing with his one hand even with the ice man in the air, but while in the air Aokiji was able to avoid the bullets. The older man put his hands together and created an ice ball, a ball that he threw at Omega. Omega was hit with the ice ball and blasted down, Rouge went to help him up.

Shadow saw Aokiji in the air and dashed straight towards him, Aokiji meanwhile turned to see the weapon coming towards him at full speed. When Shadow arrived in front of him he threw his right fist at his face, but Aokji caught and began to turn his ice into a hand. Shadow felt his hand become cold and it was even more proof when he saw the frost come upon it.

Shadow quickly kicked Aokiji to the side and sent him crashing into his house. Shadow came to the ground, Omega and Rouge joined his side as the teen looked at his hand. His right hand was completely frozen thanks to Aokiji powers.

"We need to get out of here." Rouge told her leader, she grabbed two bata-rangs. Both of the bat shaped weapons were in both her hands, Shadow got up from the ground and channeled power to his right hand to break free of the ice.

"I know." Shadow knew that they needed to escape, he already has a feeling that the others are in trouble as well. If Aokiji is here then that means that his friends are attacking his siblings.

The Family was spread out, they needed an exit quickly, but they couldn't beat the Tribunal forces. So what could they do? Shadow began to formulate plans in his mind, he was doing as quickly as he could since he could see that Aokiji was coming out of the house and half his face was frozen.

"Get ready," Shadow warned his team, the plans of escaping would have to be put on hold for a minute, but not all was lost. There was one plan that Shadow had, but boy did he hate it. They all would hate, but if it works then The Family would change forever. Shadow gritted his teeth, he went into this Chaos Cowl and Omega on the other hand returned to him.

"Alright, I didn't want this to go this far, but so be it." Aokiji didn't want this to go this way, he truly didn't and especially not in front of his ex's house. But this kid would not just listen to reason for once in his life. Aokiji held out his hands and created two ice swords, the swords were sharp and deadly just by looking at them.

"Ice Age!" Aokiji screamed as he slammed his foot on the ground and sent a wave at the cell team. Shadow jumped over it and kicked the air to blast himself over to Akoji.

Rouge opened her wings and grabbed Omega, she took him into the sky and the living machine opened fire with his machine guns. Aokiji fired a breath of cold air at the bullets and stopped them in mid-air, but he did not forget about Shadow.

Shadow created two daggers in both hands and dueled with Aokiji, both of their man made weapons collided creating a spark. Shadow aggressively attacked the iceman while Aokiji deflected all of his strike, when Shadow dove forward the hound of justice created an ice clone making Shadow hit that instead of him. Shadow got shattered glass in his face, but quickly opened his eyes to be met by a bear hug by Aokiji.

Team Dark including Shadow widened their eyes for they knew what was coming. "Ice Time." Shadow didn't have enough time as his body was completely frozen by Aokiji powers, the teen was now a human ice sculpture.

"Shadow!" Rouge screamed as she saw her leader frozen, Aokiji looked at the frozen face of the weapon to see his frozen shock. Aokiji let him go and Shadow's body came crashing to the ground and thankfully he did not shatter into pieces.

"You'll pay for that!" The hound looked up to see Omega being dropped by Rouge, the machine came crashing to the ground with thunderous impact. When he landed Omega hands went inside of him and now his hands left with nothing, but that is how Omega wanted it.

The large machine fired its flame throwers at the ice man, but Aokiji countered with his frost breath that turned the red flames to white ice. Omega stopped his flames when she saw the flames be frozen, but it was not as Rouge threw a couple of bata-rangs at the man.

When the rangs hit the ground they exploded in a small fire for they carried incendiaries, but not even them could harm Aokiji. The man jumped in the air and using his powers to create a small pillar to leap off, the man appeared above Rouge and caught the girl by surprise. Akoji turned his foot into ice and delivered a kick that sent the bat down to the ground, but he was not done yet.

Aokiji created an ice spear and threw it down like a javelin, the spear pierced the right wing of Rouge making the bat scream out. "AH" Rouge ear piercing came ring Omega ears, but he was not strong enough to stop him. Omega aimed his right arm at Aokiji, he aimed it with his left and fired a cannon from his right arm. Aokiji saw the cannon fire and created an ice clone, the man spit himself at him half and let his clone take the damage.

The man was now on the ground and Omega's optics locked onto him, he was going to fire again, but Aokiji moved faster by sliding using ice, when he reached Omega he grabbed the cannon arm and the moment he grabbed it Omega fired it. The shot left the arm, but Aokiji's power was faster, he stopped the cannon by creating a wall of ice on the exiting barrel.

The shot could not leave it blocked by the ice, Omega saw this and used his left arm to attack Aokiji, but he caught the robotic arm. Aokiji now held both Omega's arms and began to freeze them and Omega had to watch, he tried out power Aokiji, but his power levels were low from the battle and the fight with Wesker. He was already running low as it was and now he was at his ends.

Aokiji out powered the most powerful machine and froze both his arms, Omega kept a stoic face while he did so and toughness was respected by Aokiji, but all it took was a simple squeeze of his hands for Aokiji to destroy the cybernetic arms of Omega. When the arms exploded into pieces Omega fell to his knees, both his arms were gone exposing his inner circuitry. Sparks were coming out of the exposed wire as the machine stared up at his enemy with a stoic.

Aokiji pushed the machine down with a simple tap of his hand and Omega fell on his back. There was nothing that he could, his power levels were low and now his arms were gone. He needed repairs and the only ones that could do that was Bumble Bee or Tails, and both seemed to be busy with their own hounds. Omega for now shutdown, the battle was over and now they left only one solution for victory.

"Omega!" Rouge screamed, she had just watched two members of most powerful members of The Family fall. She needed to do something, but what her wing was embedded in the ground. Rouge turned her head to look at the frozen body of Shadow, she had only one option, she screamed.

"SHADOW!" The scream was loud, but it was not meant to cause damage, it was meant to wake up her fallen leader. Shadow is even trapped by the ice and the high pitched scream of his teammate. The scream pierced his ears and awoke him from his slumber, it was time to get back in the fight.

Aokiji heard a crack, he turned his head to the direction of it and looked at the frozen body of the weapon. The man sighed releasing a chilly frost from his mouth, it seems that Shadow won't go down no matter how many times he hits.

The spider web like cracks appeared all over the frozen body, it didn't take long for the teen to break out with thunderous and roaring power. The ice blasted all over the place as Shadow freed himself from the prison, the teen eyes were glowing a bright red color, his teeth were fangs, and his hands were itching to get to the neck of Aokiji.

Shadow stood up and he saw his team, Rouge body pinned to the ground thanks to the ice spear and Omega armless body laid out on the ground. It made him even more pissed that he allowed this to happen to his cell.

"I am going to kill you." Shadow warned him, he was not playing games. Shadow was going to kill the dog and there was not anything a person could do to stop him, or so he thought.

"Izuku…" Shadow eyes widened as did Aokiji, through all their action they forgot there was one more person here with them. They both turned their heads to see Nemuri leaning on whatever was left of her door frame, her head had blood dripping down the side and that made their hearts stopped. But even with the injury Nemuri was able to stand, she needed to. She needed to do this and put an end to all this fighting, she wanted her son to stop fighting.

"Izuku please...No more. No more fighting." Shadow hearts broke in half when he saw his mothers face in tears and what made it worse that is the one that caused it. He caused her this pain. Shadow had been causing her pain since he got his memories back and now it's reached the tipping point.

Shadow didn't want to see his mother cry, he truly didn't, but there was only option that would lead his team to safety and he could trust Aokiji or people that he would keep his word. How could he keep his word that his family would be safe.

"Aokiji," The iceman turned back Shadow curious of why he was calling his name, he kept his guard up, but could see that there was something off about him. His eyes were telling the hound something, something that he had never seen in the weapon before. Compassion, empathy, realization, sadness even. Aokiji didn't know at all, but he would soon get his answer.

"I will order a complete surrender to my sibilings, but my mother is left alone." Rouge widened her eyes when she heard that, she originally thought that she misheard him, but the eyes of Shadow told the entire story. She could see that he was torn with this decision, but after seeing Midnight he knew what he had to do.

"My siblings will surrender and so will I, but can I have your word that you will look after her." Aokiji didn't even hesitate to agree to the terms of Shadow, he gave him his answer in a heartbeat.

"I will. She means more to me than you will ever know. All this can stop if you just surrender." Shadow nodded his head and Rouge saw the one thing that she never thought she saw her leader do. She saw him surrender.

"Espio," Shadow called his telepathic brother and Espio answered the call thanks to their connection. Espio was busy dealing with Kizaru with Amy and even they were having a rough time, but even so he was able to answer the Family's leader.

"What is it? We are kinda busy over here."

"Surrender." Espio widened his eyes when heard that, he was going to ask why, but he didn't. Shadow was the leader of the Family, what he says they follow, and if he says that they need to surrender to the Family for whatever reason Espio hopes that he has a plan up his sleeve. For if not, then they are doomed.

"All Family members surrender now!" The action stopped when Espio announced that they all looked to him and he boardcasted the order that Shadow had given them. The Family could not believe what they just heard in their minds, but they did so nonetheless.

Gambit closed his eyes in defeat and dropped his staff, Shadowcat dropped her dagger, Espio and Amy turned off their powers, Bee dropped her stingers, and Beast Boy shifted back into his human form. All of them put their hands up including Smoker, he was part of this as well and if Shadow ordered then it was to be followed.

Kizaru stood atop a building looking down at the surrendering terrorist, he had a curious smile on his face as he saw the troops chain them up and soon lead them into GUN APC. All the members of the Family had defeated looks on their faces as they were getting lead in.

Team Blaze got the message and could not believe it as well, their fight with Akainu had gone on for a while and they started to believe that they could win, but the order had come and they were to follow it. Sliver came down to the ground and put his hands up, Blaze did the same as well as Mystique. Endeavor looked at them with shock, he didn't understand why they were doing this.

"What are you doing?!"

"We have received orders from Shadow to surrender and we are to follow them, no matter what they are." Blaze spoke the last part through gritted teeth, she didn't like this at all. She would've never surrendered, especially to the dogs, but now here she is now. She just hopes that whatever Shadow is planning that it better works.

"Enji," Endeavor turned to his wife, even if they had surrendered he was not, but the words from his wife would change all of that. "Let them take me. You have to stay and protect our children." Enji was not going to let that happen, but the pleading look of Rei told him the entire story. She was tired of this as well and did not mention that her home was destroyed.

Enji gritted his teeth in anger and roared into the sky, his roar was to let out his anger, but at the end of the day the flame hero surrendered. He shut off his powers and allowed the Tribunal to arrest his family, while being moved into the APC he saw one the girl that he fought with look at him before turning her head.

Enji didn't make anything of it, but something told him that the girl was familiar to him. Whatever it was would have to wait until much later, now his family and him must focus on survival.

Team Sonic got the message and that caused them to stop running, both Knuckles and Tails could not believe it. They looked to each other and before they could even speak Fujitora had found him with drones all around the two. Sonic was still down and out from being out of energy and they got orders to surrender from Shadow.

"What do we do Knuckles?" Tails asked with worry, they could not disobey a direct order from Shadow he was the leader, but they also knew what capture meant. They were stuck in a hard place and that Knuckles even more furious for he didn't understand the point of surrendering.

"FUCK!" Knuckles screamed, but he did what he hated to do. He surrendered and when Tails saw his hands go up the blonde hair teen put up his hands as well. Fujitora could sense that their hands were up and sheathed his blade. The troopers soon came to arrest Team Sonic and put the chopper that was going to take to the location where they would be judged by the Tribunal.

"It's done. All my siblings have surrendered." Aokiji nodded his head and nudged his head for the soldiers to come in arrest Shadow, they chained him up the most and soon they went to get his two associates.

Rouge had tears fall down her eyes as she saw the man that she loved be taken away in chains and she was not the only one for Midnight never wanted to see this day. She never wanted her son to be taken away from her and no less in chains. The mother just put her face in her hands to let out sob, she ignored the pain of head as the pain in heart was far greater.

Shadow was led into the APC, soon joined by Rouge, and Omega was thrown in. All members were together as they closed the door on them and began to take them wherever they were being taken. Rouge looked to Shadow to see what his reaction was, but she could see nothing.

The teen had his hair covering his eyes, he was hiding his emotions cause the second time in his life has failed. He failed to protect his family and now their lives now hung in the balance because he was becoming the one thing that he swore he never became. He has become weak.
