I apologize for the way these chapters are loaded. They're not supposed to
be in such big wordy blocks, but the damn machine makes it that way when I
upload. I'm sorry. And as an added note, I am so going to get flamed for
this chapter. I'm sorry for that too. (
Disclaimer: I only own Scales and Pi2. And some other stuff. (Please God,
don't flame me too harshly for what I am about to write! Please remember
that this is a story, and just because some characters do things you may
not like does not mean I should be punished as a result!)
It was almost nighttime. The Coliseum's bar was bustling, as usual. Lots of guys and gals were there, getting laid and carried out due to extreme alcohol consumption. We join our cast for this chapter, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman sitting at a table, drinking beer. (After all, what else does a guy do at a bar?) All of them had already had a couple of glasses, and were loosening up a bit. Sonic took a deep drink from his glass. "Hey Tails, are you sure you should be drinking that?" he asked. Tails frowned and took a sip of beer. "Hey, if I'm old enough to pilot a small aircraft and drive a car, I'm old enough to drink with you guys." Sonic shrugged and took another drink. "So Knux, how are you doing with the girls?" Knuckles frowned. "What do you mean by that?" "You know, have you slept with anyone?" Knuckles looked at Sonic in disgust. "Sonic! The fact that I've been with Rouge five times already is nothing to share with you guys!" He stopped, suddenly realizing what he had just said. He cursed. "Hey, I'm supposed to be too young to hear that kind of language!" protested Tails. "If you're old enough to drink beer, you're old enough to cuss as much as you want." Said Eggman. "So Knuckles, not to pry, but how was it?" "How was what?" "You know what I'm talking about." Said Eggman. Knuckles shook his head. "Nuh-uh. I've already told you guys too much. Knowing I've done it five times should be enough for you sickos! You're definitely not gonna hear that those five times were the best nights of my entire freaking existence!" He thought a moment, and then started vehemently cursing while the others laughed. "Ah Knux, you're just too slow, aren't you? Then again, so is everyone else compared to me!" said Sonic. Everyone at the table laughed, even Knuckles. Of course, they were all slightly drunk by now so of course they didn't take offense as much. "Yah, and I bet you're just as fast in bed as well!" said Shadow. "Yah, I'm.wait a minute! I've never done anyone!" Sonic started sobbing. "I'm not a real man at all!" Surprisingly, Eggman was the one to deliver encouragement. "Cheer up Sonic, I've never slept with anyone either. And neither has Tails or Shadow." "That's right, I've never.hey, how did you know that?" asked Shadow angrily. "Er, that's not important. As I said, I've never slept with anyone either." Said Eggman, a bit sadly. "Why? I would think women would flock to your doorstep to be with a great and handsome genius such as yourself." Joked Tails. As the others laughed, Eggman scowled. "It's not funny! If you must know, the reason is that a certain part of my anatomy is disproportionate in size from the rest of my body, causing my love life to amount to nil. As a result, I take out my anguish on others in an attempt to rid myself of my sexual problems. Why do you think I'm taking over the world, anyway?" he grumbled. They stopped laughing and looked at him sadly, pitying the poor evil genius. Sonic finally broke the silence. "So Shadow, how's your love life?" Shadow grinned. "Although I am still a virgin, I can definitely tell you it's doing fine. What can I say gentlemen, I've fallen in love with Amy Rose! I only hope she feels the same way." He paused. "I think she might. After all, she dumped you didn't she Sonic?" Sonic scowled. "Hey, don't bring that up! So anyway, why haven't you done her yet?" Shadow frowned. "I am a fairly virtuous hedgehog. I don't plan to really sleep with her until after our wedding." He paused again. "Of course, if she would like me to do it with her beforehand, I am not one to refuse." He said, grinning. They chuckled a bit, then Tails sighed. "It isn't fair! Knuckles and Shadow already have girlfriends, Sonic probably has millions of fans that love him, and Eggman has an excuse, but what about me? When am I gonna get a girlfriend?" "Oh come on, I'm sure there's somebody who likes you." Said Sonic. Tails shook his head. "No, all the vixens my age are turned off by my two tails. I mean, just look at them! The stupid things may make me fly, but they also turn me into a freak! I bet I would only have a chance with another fox like me." "How about that one over there?" asked Knuckles. "Where?" asked Tails, looking around. "The yellow chick with the three tails, can't miss her." said Sonic, having already spotted her. "What yellow-" Tails abruptly cut off at the sight of her. She was sitting at another table all by herself. She was about his size and age, with yellow fur and three tails that ended in black tips. Her ears had black tips as well. She looked for all the world like a real kitsune. "She's beautiful!" He forcibly took his eyes off her. "Ah, but I don't have a chance with her." "Why not?" asked Eggman. "She'd probably never like me. Besides, she's so gorgeous she's probably already got someone." Said Tails. "I don't see anyone else at her table. Go on, keep her company!" urged Knuckles. "I don't know." Said Tails. "Come on buddy, you can do it!" said Sonic. "Go over there and use the old Sonic charm, just like I taught you." Tails thought for a moment then got up. "You know, I think I'll take Knuckles' advice and go sit with her." He said. "What about the old Sonic charm?" asked Sonic, sounding slightly crestfallen. "Um, I'll do that too." Tail lied. "Oh, okay then." Said Sonic. Tails walked over to the table and started talking with the kitsune. Soon, they were having a great conversation. The older men grinned and took another long swig of beer.
A couple of hours later, they were thoroughly and completely inebriated. If my spelling appalls you, remember that they are drunk and thus they talk all funny. "You-Hic-you guysh are the-Hic-the worsht enemiesh an evil doctor could-Hic-could ever have. I hate you." slurred Eggman. "We-Hic-hate you too, Eggguy." Said Sonic, his head spinning. "Yeah!" blurted Knuckles. "You ever-Hic-try to take my Mashter Emerald again, and I'll make sure that even if you did have a love life, you'd-Hic-be unable to screw anyone ever again!" Knuckles said proudly. They all laughed like the drunken loons they were. Sonic took another drink. "Hey Ssshhhadow, you're shishter'sh-Hic- pretty hot!" Shadow scowled as best he could. "Hey man, you shtay away from my shishter or I'll pluck-Hic-I'll pluck every one of your green quillsh from your body!" If you're confused since Sonic is blue, remember that they are all extremely buzzed. And I mean EXTREMELY. Tails looked over at the guys and shook his head in disgust. "Are those guys friends of yours?" asked the lovely kitsune. "Sort of." Tails muttered. "But at the moment they seem to be too drunk to remember their own names. So Cassandra, please tell me more about yourself." Back with the drunks, everyone was now discussing some of the more daring things they had ever done. "Back when I wash but a-Hic-young lad, my juvline-juvelin-juvenenile-juvenile friendsh dared me to eat an entire gallon offfff ice cream. I did." He said, smiling dumbly. "Ah, that'sh nothing! I had to beat up that big shtupid ghost of yours in your dumb pyramid headquartersh, Eggman! Now that wash-Hic- daring!" said Knuckles. "Ha! Back in my eviller daysh, I grindeded-Hic-down the shide of a shushpenshion bridge!" slurred Shadow. Sonic laughed. "I've-I've-I've-Hic-got all of yoush losersh beat! Lasht night and the night before, I-Hic-ushed Chaossshhh Control to warp into a shecret room and shteal all shortsh of important-Hic-crap from a supercomputer all relating to-Hic-Nintendo!" he said, slapping a diskette onto the table. The others were impressed. "Wow!-Hic-I'd never do anything-Hic-that daring!" said Eggman. "Why did you-Hic-do it, Shonic?" asked Shadow. "Shony'sh offering me BIG Bucks for-Hic-this data! Not to mention that Microshoft'sh offering me even more money for Tails' fake Chaossshhh- Hic-Emerald, which I've alsho got with me." He said, momentarily taking out a dull yellow gem, then putting it away. "With the cash they's offering me, I can get G.U.N. off my backsh and leave you loshersh in the dusht for good!" Sonic answered, pleased with himself. "Good-Hic-luck, man." Said Knuckles. "Ah, who needsh-Hic-luck? All I've gotta do to get away from the authoritiesh ish meet up with the Shony representatives at the randayvoo point before midnight, and I'm home-Hic-home-Hic-home free!" Sonic said. They all cheered drunkenly and clinked beer glasses, not knowing the entire conversation had been caught on the security camera. Suddenly, a dozen or so security guards barged into the bar, frightening the patrons. The former G.U.N. agents surrounded the table our drunken friends were sitting at. Pi2 marched through the ring of soldiers, looking furious. "Sonic Takeshi Hedgehog, you are under arrest!" "What-Hic-fir?" he slurred. "For theft of important data pertaining the Nintendo Company and conspiring to sell it to the enemy!" Pi2 barked. "Wuzzat?" Sonic asked, confused. Pi2's scowl deepened. "I said-" He took a closer look at them all. "Oh wait, you're drunk. Let me fix that." Pi2 snapped his fingers. Suddenly, everyone in the bar was completely sober. There was a look of confusion on the faces of everyone at the table. Then what they had been discussing a second ago fully registered on their faces. Shadow leapt at Sonic and started throttling him. "YOU! LITTLE! BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!?" Sonic gulped. "Sh-Sh-Shadow, I-I was just doing it for us! You know, in case Scales lost the tournament!" "Don't give us that, you asshole!" yelled Knuckles. "The gems Rouge stole are worth more than enough to help purchase the ARK if Scales loses! You're doing this for nothing but your own gratification!" "Even I'M shocked that you did this!" said Eggman furiously. "I've done many horrible things, attempting to take over the world, turning innocent civilians into heartless machines, killing people for no reason and trying to blow up the planet, but I would never betray the company I work for!" Sonic shook Shadow off of him. "May I say something in my defense?" Pi2 sighed. "Fine, what is it?" "Well." Sonic suddenly grabbed the data disk from the table, pulled out his blue Chaos Emerald and yelled "CHAOS CONTROL!" He disappeared in a flash of blue light. "NO!" screamed Pi2. "He's getting away!" "Can't you stop him?" asked Knuckles. Pi2 started sobbing. "My powers have no jurisdiction outside of the Coliseum! All I know is where he transported himself. If he gets away with that data, Nintendo is screwed!" "Not to mention that if Microsoft gets their claws on the fake Emerald, they could have enough power to conquer the real world." Added Eggman. Pi2 wailed. "When the bosses find out about this, I'll be ruined!" Shadow pulled out his green Chaos Emerald. "Not if I can help it! Quick, where did he go?" "He warped to the road leading away from the Coliseum. But by now, he's probably already at the bridge leading into the city." Said Pi2. "Not if I can help it! CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow vanished in a flash of green light.
Shadow reappeared outside, on the highway. Fortunately, nobody was driving to or from the Coliseum at the time being. Perhaps I should give you a bit of a geography lesson. The Coliseum was built on a great tower of earth jutting from the sea. It is connected to the mainland and Nintendo City by a very long suspension bridge. Shadow was at the edge of the bridge. He could see the blue hedgehog only a couple of yards ahead from him, running. Shadow quickly caught up with him, staying behind Sonic for a moment. When he was sure Sonic wasn't aware of his presence, Shadow hit his enemy in the back with a Homing Attack. "Aaaahhhhh! What the-" he saw Shadow and started gibbering. "Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shadow! H-h-how-" "I followed you, faker. I'm not going to let you get away with this betrayal!" said Shadow angrily. "Oh yeah? Well, let's see you try and stop me!" Sonic turned and started running down the bridge. Shadow chased after him. When he caught up to Sonic, he hit the traitor with another Homing Attack. "Oof! Take this!" Sonic tried to hit Shadow with a Homing Attack. Shadow leapt into the air, deflecting the attack with one of his own. They landed back on the ground and kept running. Shadow tried another Homing Attack, but was deflected by Sonic. This strategy wasn't going to work anymore. He tried to remember how he had beaten Sonic in their final battle on the ARK. He recalled the winning strategy and grinned. He stopped in his tracks, allowing Sonic to get ahead of him. Sonic noticed Shadow wasn't chasing him after a minute or two and stopped several dozen yards ahead. He pulled out his Chaos Emerald and started concentrating. Shadow immediately started running towards Sonic, eating up the distance between them rapidly. Sonic finished concentrating on the Emerald, unleashing the attack. "SONIC WIND!" Shadow immediately jumped into the air as a blue vortex of energy formed right where he had been standing. While in the air, he performed a Homing Attack, getting away from the Sonic Wind and slamming into the cobalt traitor. Sonic grunted and started running again. Shadow ran after him, keeping pace for a while. Then he stopped again, waiting for Sonic to try his special attack again. When Sonic had gotten a sufficient distance ahead, he pulled out his Chaos Emerald and started charging his attack again. Shadow curled into a ball and started spinning in place. After a few seconds, Sonic was done charging and cried out "SONIC WIND!" As the vortex started to form, Shadow instantly let loose his own attack, the spindash. Rolling forward at incredible speed, leaving a trail of yellow light behind him, Shadow rammed into Sonic, bowling him over. Shadow uncurled and got up. Sonic groaned and got up as well. "Give up, traitor?" asked Shadow. "No way!" yelled Sonic. He charged at Shadow. Shadow jumped out of the way. This was bad for Sonic, since Shadow had been standing near the edge of the bridge. Unable to stop himself, Sonic ran off the end of the bridge and started falling. Shadow looked at the edge and shook his head sadly. That's when he heard a strange sound, like a jet engine. It got louder, coming from below him. Shadow was astonished to suddenly see Sonic appear before him, seemingly standing in midair. But as the blue hedgehog started rising higher, Shadow realized he was merely standing on top of an airship that had been floating under the bridge, breaking his fall. The airship was recognizable as the cool-looking ship from Final Fantasy X, so our dark hero knew this was what Sonic had been going to meet up with. Sonic laughed and waved goodbye at Shadow as the great ship turned and started flying away. Shadow had to think quickly. He needed to get on that ship! He noticed a ledge protruding from the ship's hull, an emergency hatch located on it. He pulled out his Emerald. "Chaos Control!" He was warped onto the ledge with the hatch. Struggling not to get blown off, Shadow forced open the hatch and stepped into the ship. He slammed the hatch shut behind him and found himself in a corridor inside the ship. He figured he'd have to get to the bridge if he wanted to stop this airship from delivering the data to Sony. After locating a map of the ship, he started working his way through the decks until, in a corridor, he was confronted by an orange bandicoot with a pink belly, sneakers, and a pair of blue shorts. "Crash Bandicoot? What are you doing here?" The bandicoot grinned. "I'm part of the convoy to deliver the top-secret data to our head honchos in Sony!" "But you had a game on Gameboy Advance! Why are you doing this?" "So? Lots of games have been on both Nintendo and Sony systems. Doesn't mean I'm loyal to Nintendo. Anyway, I intend to stop you to preserve the honor of the Sony Corporation!" said Crash proudly. Crash started spinning towards Shadow. Shadow easily stepped out of the way. When Crash's spin ran out and before he could use a new attack, Shadow walked right up to the marsupial and poked him lightly in the stomach. Crash screamed, clutched his chest, and fell to the floor. He twitched occasionally, but didn't move aside from that. Shadow chuckled. "That's the problem with you Crash, it only takes one touch from an enemy to kill you." Leaving the bandicoot behind, Shadow continued going up through the airship, knocking any crewmembers who saw him unconscious, until he ran into a British woman with brown hair and big guns. "Uh, do I know you?" "Doubt it love. Name's Croft. Lara Croft. She cocked her pistol. "And you're about to enter a world of hurt." She fired her gun. Shadow snatched out with his hand, grabbing the bullet in midair. "Huh? How did you do that?" Shadow smiled. "Super speed. The same thing that lets me do THIS!" He wound up his arm and threw the bullet back at Lara with incredible power, sending it right into her skull. She gaped and fell to the ground, dead. He started continuing down the hallway. "Sorry. I didn't really want to kill you, but you didn't leave me much of a choice." He called back to the corpse. He continued through the airship, going up a few decks before being confronted by something new. He sniffed the air, smelling something really bad. "Ew, what is that odor?" Something leapt out in front of him from a side corridor. "Ah ha! At last you have come, knave! Now we may engage in combat!" Shadow blinked. "Oh, THAT'S what smells. A rotting corpse." The figure before him didn't look too happy about this. He was a skeleton, clad in gold armor, wielding a great purple sword and a gold and black shield. His skull was missing one eyeball and his lower jaw. "Now see here, varlet, I am no corpse!" he said, despite his lack of a second jaw. "I am the dead knight, Sir Daniel Fortesque! You are attempting to stop the business transactions of the great Sony Empire, and thus must be stopped! I, Sir Dan, challenge you to one-on-one combat." "Well, it seems pointless, but fine. I suppose you'll give me a weapon?" asked Shadow. "Of course!" Sir Dan tossed Shadow a Chicken Drumstick. Shadow stared at it. "A Chicken Drumstick. You've got a big sword and who knows what else, and you intend me to defend myself with a Chicken Drumstick?" "Yes." "Whatever happened to chivalry? The knights' code of honor?" Dan laughed. "Haven't you heard? Chivalry is dead! So am I! Haha!" Sir Dan charged Shadow, swiping with his sword. Shadow threw away the Chicken Drumstick and fire somersaulted under the swing, knocking Sir Dan off his feet. As the skeleton tried to get up, Shadow hit him with a roundhouse kick, knocking him down again. He ran around to Sir Dan's front, grabbed onto the sword, and tried to pull it from the skeleton's hand. There was a wrenching pop, and Shadow suddenly found himself holding Dan's sword, as well as his entire right arm. Disgusted, he threw it away. Dan got back up to his feet and swung at Shadow with his shield. Shadow leaped over the swing, jumping over Dan, kicking him in the head while he was in the air. Dan raised the shield to defend himself from an attack and charged the black hedgehog. Shadow simply hit the shield with a Homing Attack, shattering it. Dan cursed. "I knew I should have let the Spiv to recharge this thing last time I had a chance!" Dan reached into dimensional space and pulled out a pistol. He fired. Shadow grabbed the bullet out of midair and threw it with amazing precision back into the gun, setting off the gunpowder insider and making it explode. Dan yelped and waved his slightly charred hand. He pulled out a huge hammer and tried to swing at Shadow with it. Shadow dodged the swings, and almost got hit when Dan tried to smash his head in with the giant mallet. Shadow powerfully kicked the hammer's handle before Dan could raise it back up, breaking it. Angry, Dan pulled out what appeared to be a cane and swung at Shadow with it. Shadow pulled the cane from Dan's hand and easily broke it over his knee. Dan pulled out a crossbow with a flaming arrow and shot it at Shadow. Shadow ducked, missing the fiery bolt. Sir Dan tried to fire again, but realized that he couldn't load any more arrows without the use of both arms. He threw the weapon away and pulled out a big throwing axe. He hurled it at Shadow's head. Shadow jumped out of the way, and the Axe was imbedded in the wall behind him. Sir Dan pulled out a lit bomb and threw it at Shadow. He grabbed it and threw it back, blowing it up right in Sir Dan's face. Sir Dan cursed and pulled out what looked like a ball of purple crackling electricity. "Ha! This will surely stop you! Let's see if you can survive my Lightning!" "Wait. You mean that the thing you're holding is actually lightning?" "Er, yes." "Isn't it impossible to hold something giving off electricity without getting shocked?" Dan thought a moment. "You know, that's a good point. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" he screamed as the electricity convulsed through his body. He quickly stuffed the Lightning back in the dimensional pocket and took out a large rifle. "Okay, your tricks won't save you from the Blunderbuss!" Dan fired the Blunderbuss. Once again, Shadow caught the bullet and threw it back, destroying the gun. "Aaagh! Can't you just die?!?" "Nope, sorry." "That does it! The kid gloves are off!" Shadow's eyes bulged as Dan took out a Gatling Gun. "I very much doubt you can simply grab one of these bullets! Hahahahahaha!" Dan pulled the trigger. The gun whirred and did nothing. "Huh?" Dan tried again, with the same results. "Shit! I forgot to reload this thing!" Shadow performed a homing attack on Dan's head, knocking it off of the body. As Dan's body wandered around blindly, Shadow ran over to the head and stomped it hard, breaking it. Sir Dan screamed. The body quivered, and fell to pieces. Shadow shook his head. "They just don't make skeletal warriors like they used to. Oh well." Shadow continued up a few more decks until he ran into his next foe. Actually, there were two of them, a dragonfly and a small purple dragon. "Oh please, is this the best Sony's got to throw at me?" asked Shadow. The dragon growled. "We're not gonna take that kind of guff, are we Sparx?" "No way, Spyro!" said the dragonfly. "Then let's get him!" roared Spyro. He lowered his head and charged at Shadow, not unlike a ram. Shadow jumped over Spyro as he charged and was suddenly attacked by Sparx, who flew around his head rapidly, buzzing loudly. Shadow snatched out his hand, grabbed Sparx, and squished him. "Sparx! You big dumb hedgehog, you killed my best friend! You'll pay for that!" Spyro inhaled deeply ad unleashed a powerful blast of fire breath. Shadow ran away from the burst and kicked Spyro in the sides. The dragon turned around and rammed him right in the stomach. Shadow staggered back, clutching his chest. Spyro hit him with fire breath. When the flames cleared, Spyro was astonished to see Shadow still standing, albeit a little singed. "Wha? How did you survive that?" Shadow smiled, wincing a little. "Hey, I'm the Ultimate Lifeform. If I can handle falling through the atmosphere, I can survive a little fire breath." Spyro thought a moment. "Well, damn! Those are the only attacks I have, charging and flaming. And neither seems to be that effective on you. What do we do now?" "I could kill you." Offered Shadow. "Uh, no wait! I know! I'll defect!" said Spyro quickly Shadow blinked. "You defect?" "Yeah, I'll join your side. I'm tired of working for Sony anyway." Said Spyro. Shadow shrugged. "Well, okay then. Do you need a lift back to Nintendo headquarters?" "No, I can fly to there from here." "You may get arrested. Do you have some paper? I can give you a note that'll help smooth things over." They quickly found some paper and pen in a cabin, Shadow hastily wrote an explanatory note, and Spyro headed for the nearest emergency hatch. Before leaving, he had a piece of advice for the hedgehog. "You're trying to get back the stolen data, right? Well, you'd better hurry up. Pretty soon the airship will be heading into Sony territory, and once there you'll be done for. Bye." He left. Shadow continued on his journey, and finally made it to the top deck, where the bridge was. However, right in the large hallway leading to the bridge, he ran into a problem. Another enemy. His foe was a human, with long robes that made him look a little girlish. He had waist length blue hair and these two scything tufts of blue hair extending from the top of his head. He had a haughty look on his face. "Greetings, lowly vermin. We meet at last. I am Seymour, Maester of Yevon and Grand Summoner. You may have been lucky with the others, but I shall be the means to your defeat." Shadow rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Let's see how good at fighting you are, I'm pretty sure I can beat you." Seymour laughed. "Oh, you poor fool, I almost pity you. You have no idea what you are getting into. Let's begin!" There was a sudden blur and swirl as the whole ship seemed to flip 360 degrees. Shadow staggered around as everything went back to normal, right before throwing up. "What was that?!" "Battle transitions. You get used to them." "Battle transition?" "Yes. You see, we have now entered a fight in.TURN-BASED COMBAT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shadow stared at Seymour. "Okay, you're weird." Seymour smiled smugly. "And now, I will ensure your doom! With this spell I am about to cast, every summon monster from Final Fantasy IV-X will appear in this room and attack you, ensuring instant victory!" He started waving his hands and chanting. A blue box with the words "SUPREME SUMMON" appeared in the air. In an incredible show of special effects and CGI that are too flashy to possibly describe, Imp, Bomb, Mage, Mist Dragon, Cocatris, Asura, Mog/Chocobo, Sylph, Remora, Shiva, Ramu, Ifrit, Titan, Hydra, Odin, Phoenix, Golem, Shoat, Carbuncle, Leviathan, Bahamut, Alexander, Bismark, Crusader, Fenrir, Kirin, Maduin, Palidor, Phantom, Ragnarok, Raiden, Siren, Seraphim, Starlet, Stray, Terrato, Tritoch, Unicorn, Zoneseek, Kujata, Bahamut Neo, Hades, Bahamut Zero, Typhoon, Knights of the Round, Moomba, Gilgamesh, Quezacotl, Brothers, Diablos, Pandemona, Cerberus, Doomtrain, Jumbo Cactuar, Tonberry King, Eden, Atomos, Ark, Madeen, Valefor, Ixion, Yojimbo, Anima, and the Magus Sisters all appeared. Shadow gaped at the display and the sixty-four monsters now standing before him. "How did you get all of those things to fit into this corridor?" Seymour shrugged. "I dunno. Now, attack my pets! Attack!" The monsters stood there like statues. "Oh yeah, I forgot! It's your turn!" "Okay, what am I supposed to do?" "It's quite simple. See the menu bar down there?" "Menu bar? What menu-" Shadow stopped, seeing there was actually a menu bar of sorts beneath him. "How did that get there?' "That's not important. Anyway, you have three choices. You can either Attack, use Magic, or try to run away. What will you do?" "Uh, let's see what options I have for either one." Shadow selected Attack. Another menu popped up, with the options Homing Attack, Spindash, Roundhouse Kick, Somersault, Fire Somersault, and Lightspeed Attack. "Hmm. Let's see what I can use in the magic department." The magic menu had only two options, Chaos Control and Chaos Spear. "Well, doesn't seem fair but I'll use what I've got. I know my Chaos Spear is stronger than all my other attacks, so I'll use it." Shadow pulled out his Chaos Emerald. A blue text box appeared over his head, saying "SHADOW USED CHAOS SPEAR". Shadow yelled a basic generic cry and the emerald glowed. Yellow spears of energy rained down from all over, striking each monster multiple times. When the attack animation faded, white numbers appeared over the monster's heads. Each monster had the same number, 5. "What does this mean?" Seymour laughed again. "It means that your pathetic attack only did five damage to each of my pets! If there were only one of them, your attack would have been much more focused and have done maybe 320 damage. But your plan failed, and now you will face defeat! All monsters, attack!" In another, even longer series of incredibly flashy FMV's, the monsters attacked. Shadow was hit by each attack, thankful that in turn-based combat it's impossible to actually feel pain. It took half an hour, but finally all of the attacks were finished. "Excellent! Now to see how much damage my creatures have done! Surely it was enough to kill you!" The word "MISS" appeared over Shadow's head in white letters. "WHAT? NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Shadow smirked. "Ha! It appears that my Flame Ring has an incredibly high Evade rating! Now let's see if I have a better way of attacking. I know, I'll fight fire with fire!" He raised his Chaos Emerald. "Summon.uh.Summon.uh.. I know! Summon Perfect Chaos!" Another FMV started. I won't go into details, let's just say it was the introductory cinema for Perfect Chaos' appearance in Sonic Adventure. Perfect Chaos looked around himself, confused. "Huh? How'd I get here? And why am I in my true form? And how is it that I can fit in this corridor that should be far too small to contain my gargantuan self?" "That's not important right now, what is important is that I summoned you so you can help me beat Seymour and his freaks over there!" said Shadow. Perfect Chaos sighed. "Fine, whatever. Let's get this over with. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I figure the sooner I get through with this, the sooner I get back to Tikal in our hot tub. Do I attack them now?" "No, you have to wait your turn," said Shadow. Seymour scowled. "Your Flame Ring won't help your water beast! All monsters attack again! And let's skip the long cutscenes for the attacks, okay?" Ten minutes later, the monsters had all hit Perfect Chaos with their shorter but still powerful attacks. The white numbers over Perfect Chaos' head said 64. "Oh no! How is this possible?" wailed Seymour. "I am a god, fool! Now, see your pets die before you with my ultimate attack, which does not have an annoying and really long cutscene to go with it!" Perfect Chaos opened his mouth, purple energy gathering in it. The words "CHAOS BEAM" appeared in the blue text box. Perfect Chaos fired the Beam in an incredibly powerful blast of purple energy, sweeping it over all the summoned monsters. When the attack ended, the numbers 1,000,000,000 appeared over all of their heads. They vanished, defeated. "But-but-but that's impossible!" protested Seymour. "No attack can go over the 9999 damage limit!" Perfect Chaos looked at Shadow. "Is that true?" The black hedgehog shrugged. "Oh well. I guess it's your turn now, pretty boy." Seymour started waving his hands and chanting again. Another monster appeared, one so incredible that I just can't describe it. (Also because I have no idea what it looks like.) "This is Braska's Final Aeon. It will definitely kill you all!" "Is it my turn again?" asked Perfect Chaos. "Yes." "Good." Perfect Chaos hit Braska's Final Aeon with another Chaos Beam. Braska's Final Aeon vanished, defeated. "I'm bored. Shadow, can I please go home now? Tikal's probably drying off already." "Sorry, the fight's not over yet." "Dammit!" Seymour cast his Fira spell. The flames burned over Perfect Chaos and did 100 damage. "Hey, how'd he do that? I thought water beat fire. Whatever, time to finish this." Perfect Chaos used Chaos Beam. Seymour took 1,000,000,000 damage. He screamed and fell to the floor. Another text box came up. "Shadow beat Seymour! Gained 6,000 EXP. Gained 100 AP. Shadow received Magic Glove. Shadow learned Magic Hand!" The battle ended with a smoother transition than before, and Seymour got up. Suddenly, another FMV began. "Noooo! How could I have lost this battle? I-" "Oh god, enough of this!" roared Perfect Chaos. "Tikal's probably worried sick about me, I don't have time for this crap!" He roared, advanced on Seymour, and ate the summoner. "Can I go now, please?" Perfect Chaos begged of Shadow. "Yes, you're dismissed." Shadow said. "Thank you." Chaos vanished. Shadow walked down the rest of the hall and opened the door to the bridge. There were only two people in the room, Sonic and the pilot, Cid. Neither of them had noticed his entrance. Shadow considered challenging Sonic to another battle, but got a better idea. He reached out with his right arm, hand wide open. He concentrated on the traitorous blue hedgehog. After a few moments, his new Magic Glove glowed. There was a flash, and suddenly Sonic was gone and Shadow was holding a white ball containing a miniaturized Sonic. "What the-Shadow! Oh no, Cid, do something!" he yelled. Cid turned around in the pilot's seat and gasped. He gulped and got up. "S- stand back, mister! I-I'm an expert with the lance!" Shadow snickered. "No you're not. You're thinking of Cid from FFVII. If I'm not mistaken, you're Cid from FFX, same as the guy I beat before coming in here and this whole airship." "Damn, you're right." muttered Cid. He got on his knees. "Please, please don't kill me!" he whimpered. "Cid, you coward!" yelled Sonic. Shadow held the ball up so he could see Sonic eye to eye. "Tell me Sonic, how was this airship going to get back to the Sony galaxy? It's a long way from here." "I'm not telling you anything!" shouted Sonic. "Then I guess I'll just have to play a little basketball." Said Shadow, about to start dribbling the small prison. "No, wait! I'll tell you! Just don't dribble me!" protested Sonic. Shadow smiled. "I knew you'd see things my way. Now tell me, how is this airship going to get back to the Sony galaxy?" "They opened a portal from Sony City on their Virtual Earth. It's about a quarter mile from our current position, and opens right onto an airship dock." "How were you going to make the transaction with the fake Emerald and the data?" "Bill Gates and the CEO of Sony are waiting at the dock for me. They came all the way from the real world for this stuff." Sonic confessed. Shadow got a very brilliant idea. "Really? Both leaders of Nintendo's greatest rivals are waiting at the other end? That gives me a brilliant idea." He pitched the ball containing Sonic at Cid's head, knocking both of them unconscious. He picked up the ball and put it in his dimensional pocket. He walked over to the pilot's seat and examined the computer. "Good thing I learned all about hacking back on the ARK." He thought to himself. He quickly programmed the autopilot to stay on course to the portal, then checked for the self-destruct system. There was none. "I don't believe this. What kind of video game vehicle doesn't have a self-destruct in case of emergencies? Well, maybe I can improvise." He quickly started programming.
A little later.The airship came out of the portal, the gateway sealing behind it. The vessel hovered into the dock, the automatic clamps locking it in place. Standing at the bottom of the extending docking ramp were two of the most evil men on Earth, (Not as evil as Osama of course, but still pretty evil) the CEO of Sony and Bill Gates, leader of Microsoft. As the ramp locked in place with the main hatch and the door opened, the two men waited for their new agent to come out with the goods. After a few minutes, the doorway remained empty. "Where is he?" asked the CEO finally. "I don't know. Maybe they're having trouble?" suggested Gates. "Well, maybe we should find out. Come on." Said the CEO. He led Bill into the airship. They were quite surprised when they found the unconscious crew. "What happened? Why are they all knocked out?" asked Bill. "I don't know. Come on, let's go to the bridge. We might find our answers there." Said the CEO. They worked their way through the ship, pasty the unconscious crewmembers, until they reached the bridge. The only thing there was a knocked-out Cid. "Okay, something is definitely wrong here." "Where is that hedgehog? Where's my emerald?" Gates demanded to know. "I don't-" The CEO stopped. "What's that noise?" "It sounds like beeping. It's coming from the pilot's seat!" said Gates. They ran over and looked at the console screen. There was a timer ticking down, with ten seconds to go. "Oh my god, it's a bomb of sort!" wailed the CEO. Bill leapt into the chair and started fiddling with the computer. At the last second, he hacked into the system linked to the timer and deactivated it. The timer froze at 1. "There. Problem solved." Said the computer genius proudly. Then the lights started flashing red. "Warning. Power surge detected in engine room." said the standard female computer voice. "Attempting to use surge adapters. Error. Surge adapters have been deactivated. Power surge overloading engines. Internal combustion in 5.4.3." The two men looked at each other. "Oh f-" they started to say at the same time. The airship exploded.
Back at the Coliseum Bridge.The police were reading a heavily handcuffed Sonic his rights and taking away the stolen data and the fake Emerald while Shadow watched and took Sonic's blue Emerald. Pi2 was nearby, talking to someone on his cell phone. "Uh huh.Uh huh.Yeah, I got it. I'll go tell him. Bye." Pi2 hung up the phone. "Shadow! Please come here." "What is it, sir?" he asked as he came over to the Pokemon. "I was just on the phone with Shigeru Miyamoto and Yuji Naka. They have a message for both you AND Sonic. Hey boys, bring the traitor over here!" The police complied, dragging the unwilling Sonic over to Pi2. "Mister Hedgehog, I just got a call from our chiefs. Yuji says he's very disappointed in you. Shigeru says you're fired and will be spending a very long time in prison. As for you," he said, turning to Shadow. "Yuji is extremely proud of you and says Sonic Adventure 3 is being changed completely because of this. Congratulations, you'll be reappearing in the very first Shadow Adventure." Shadow started stuttering, shocked. "Oh, and Shigeru says that after the tournament you will receive a gold medal for heroism and a check for one million Nintendo dollars." Shadow regained his voice. "Oh, I didn't do that much." Pi2 snorted. "You kidding me? You captured a dangerous traitor, recovered important data and a valuable fake Chaos Emerald, killed some of Sony's most dangerous characters, converted Spyro the Dragon to our side, and have also succeeded in eliminating the leaders of our biggest rivals. In short, you have saved the entire Nintendo Corporation. And my career. Thank you." He extended a paw. Shadow shook it. "Okay, take him away boys." Pi2 barked at the cops. As the cops started pulling Sonic towards a reinforced paddy wagon, Sonic screamed out, "No cell can hold Sonic the Hedgehog for long, Shadow! When I get out of jail, I'm gonna kill you losers! That two tailed freak, that fat lunatic, that stinky echidna and his slut of a bat, that whore Amy and most of all you! You hear me Shadow? I'm gonna kill you all!" "Stop!" yelled Shadow. The police stopped. Shadow walked over to Sonic and looked at him for a moment. Then he punched him hard in the face. "THIS is for being a jerk to Amy." He hit Sonic in the gut. "THIS is for being such an asshole." Finally, he kicked Sonic in the groin, causing him to keel over. "And THIS is for betraying us all! I wish to never have anything to do with you again, blue hedgehog! To me, the name 'Sonic' no longer has any meaning! And I want you to remember that for the rest of your hopefully short life." Shadow stepped away, signifying he was done. The police threw Sonic into the back of the prisoner transport, locked it securely, and drove away. Shadow shook his head in disgust and headed back towards the Coliseum.
So how was it? I know it probably didn't conform to your interests, but I did what I had to do. The evidence pointed to Sonic anyway, remember? Able to teleport and wearing shoes? I could have made it Shadow, but that would have left Amy heartbroken. Besides, I already portrayed Sonic as a jerk to help ease the pain of his betrayal. In any case, I don't see anything wrong with making Sonic a bad guy. I know he's a hero, but you'd think once in a while people would try seeing him as a villain or a traitor. I know it's not what you want, but I'm keeping an open mind here and I'm hoping all of you can do that too. If so, I humbly request that you do not flame me, and if you do, don't do it too harshly. I hope you will not hold this one chapter against me and keep reading the story until it's finished. Please forgive me. Next time: It's almost time for the final match. Scales and Majora reflect on their pasts, to what made them what they are today. What influences helped them become the sort of people they are now? Find out on the next.Super Smash Bosses!
It was almost nighttime. The Coliseum's bar was bustling, as usual. Lots of guys and gals were there, getting laid and carried out due to extreme alcohol consumption. We join our cast for this chapter, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, Knuckles and Eggman sitting at a table, drinking beer. (After all, what else does a guy do at a bar?) All of them had already had a couple of glasses, and were loosening up a bit. Sonic took a deep drink from his glass. "Hey Tails, are you sure you should be drinking that?" he asked. Tails frowned and took a sip of beer. "Hey, if I'm old enough to pilot a small aircraft and drive a car, I'm old enough to drink with you guys." Sonic shrugged and took another drink. "So Knux, how are you doing with the girls?" Knuckles frowned. "What do you mean by that?" "You know, have you slept with anyone?" Knuckles looked at Sonic in disgust. "Sonic! The fact that I've been with Rouge five times already is nothing to share with you guys!" He stopped, suddenly realizing what he had just said. He cursed. "Hey, I'm supposed to be too young to hear that kind of language!" protested Tails. "If you're old enough to drink beer, you're old enough to cuss as much as you want." Said Eggman. "So Knuckles, not to pry, but how was it?" "How was what?" "You know what I'm talking about." Said Eggman. Knuckles shook his head. "Nuh-uh. I've already told you guys too much. Knowing I've done it five times should be enough for you sickos! You're definitely not gonna hear that those five times were the best nights of my entire freaking existence!" He thought a moment, and then started vehemently cursing while the others laughed. "Ah Knux, you're just too slow, aren't you? Then again, so is everyone else compared to me!" said Sonic. Everyone at the table laughed, even Knuckles. Of course, they were all slightly drunk by now so of course they didn't take offense as much. "Yah, and I bet you're just as fast in bed as well!" said Shadow. "Yah, I'm.wait a minute! I've never done anyone!" Sonic started sobbing. "I'm not a real man at all!" Surprisingly, Eggman was the one to deliver encouragement. "Cheer up Sonic, I've never slept with anyone either. And neither has Tails or Shadow." "That's right, I've never.hey, how did you know that?" asked Shadow angrily. "Er, that's not important. As I said, I've never slept with anyone either." Said Eggman, a bit sadly. "Why? I would think women would flock to your doorstep to be with a great and handsome genius such as yourself." Joked Tails. As the others laughed, Eggman scowled. "It's not funny! If you must know, the reason is that a certain part of my anatomy is disproportionate in size from the rest of my body, causing my love life to amount to nil. As a result, I take out my anguish on others in an attempt to rid myself of my sexual problems. Why do you think I'm taking over the world, anyway?" he grumbled. They stopped laughing and looked at him sadly, pitying the poor evil genius. Sonic finally broke the silence. "So Shadow, how's your love life?" Shadow grinned. "Although I am still a virgin, I can definitely tell you it's doing fine. What can I say gentlemen, I've fallen in love with Amy Rose! I only hope she feels the same way." He paused. "I think she might. After all, she dumped you didn't she Sonic?" Sonic scowled. "Hey, don't bring that up! So anyway, why haven't you done her yet?" Shadow frowned. "I am a fairly virtuous hedgehog. I don't plan to really sleep with her until after our wedding." He paused again. "Of course, if she would like me to do it with her beforehand, I am not one to refuse." He said, grinning. They chuckled a bit, then Tails sighed. "It isn't fair! Knuckles and Shadow already have girlfriends, Sonic probably has millions of fans that love him, and Eggman has an excuse, but what about me? When am I gonna get a girlfriend?" "Oh come on, I'm sure there's somebody who likes you." Said Sonic. Tails shook his head. "No, all the vixens my age are turned off by my two tails. I mean, just look at them! The stupid things may make me fly, but they also turn me into a freak! I bet I would only have a chance with another fox like me." "How about that one over there?" asked Knuckles. "Where?" asked Tails, looking around. "The yellow chick with the three tails, can't miss her." said Sonic, having already spotted her. "What yellow-" Tails abruptly cut off at the sight of her. She was sitting at another table all by herself. She was about his size and age, with yellow fur and three tails that ended in black tips. Her ears had black tips as well. She looked for all the world like a real kitsune. "She's beautiful!" He forcibly took his eyes off her. "Ah, but I don't have a chance with her." "Why not?" asked Eggman. "She'd probably never like me. Besides, she's so gorgeous she's probably already got someone." Said Tails. "I don't see anyone else at her table. Go on, keep her company!" urged Knuckles. "I don't know." Said Tails. "Come on buddy, you can do it!" said Sonic. "Go over there and use the old Sonic charm, just like I taught you." Tails thought for a moment then got up. "You know, I think I'll take Knuckles' advice and go sit with her." He said. "What about the old Sonic charm?" asked Sonic, sounding slightly crestfallen. "Um, I'll do that too." Tail lied. "Oh, okay then." Said Sonic. Tails walked over to the table and started talking with the kitsune. Soon, they were having a great conversation. The older men grinned and took another long swig of beer.
A couple of hours later, they were thoroughly and completely inebriated. If my spelling appalls you, remember that they are drunk and thus they talk all funny. "You-Hic-you guysh are the-Hic-the worsht enemiesh an evil doctor could-Hic-could ever have. I hate you." slurred Eggman. "We-Hic-hate you too, Eggguy." Said Sonic, his head spinning. "Yeah!" blurted Knuckles. "You ever-Hic-try to take my Mashter Emerald again, and I'll make sure that even if you did have a love life, you'd-Hic-be unable to screw anyone ever again!" Knuckles said proudly. They all laughed like the drunken loons they were. Sonic took another drink. "Hey Ssshhhadow, you're shishter'sh-Hic- pretty hot!" Shadow scowled as best he could. "Hey man, you shtay away from my shishter or I'll pluck-Hic-I'll pluck every one of your green quillsh from your body!" If you're confused since Sonic is blue, remember that they are all extremely buzzed. And I mean EXTREMELY. Tails looked over at the guys and shook his head in disgust. "Are those guys friends of yours?" asked the lovely kitsune. "Sort of." Tails muttered. "But at the moment they seem to be too drunk to remember their own names. So Cassandra, please tell me more about yourself." Back with the drunks, everyone was now discussing some of the more daring things they had ever done. "Back when I wash but a-Hic-young lad, my juvline-juvelin-juvenenile-juvenile friendsh dared me to eat an entire gallon offfff ice cream. I did." He said, smiling dumbly. "Ah, that'sh nothing! I had to beat up that big shtupid ghost of yours in your dumb pyramid headquartersh, Eggman! Now that wash-Hic- daring!" said Knuckles. "Ha! Back in my eviller daysh, I grindeded-Hic-down the shide of a shushpenshion bridge!" slurred Shadow. Sonic laughed. "I've-I've-I've-Hic-got all of yoush losersh beat! Lasht night and the night before, I-Hic-ushed Chaossshhh Control to warp into a shecret room and shteal all shortsh of important-Hic-crap from a supercomputer all relating to-Hic-Nintendo!" he said, slapping a diskette onto the table. The others were impressed. "Wow!-Hic-I'd never do anything-Hic-that daring!" said Eggman. "Why did you-Hic-do it, Shonic?" asked Shadow. "Shony'sh offering me BIG Bucks for-Hic-this data! Not to mention that Microshoft'sh offering me even more money for Tails' fake Chaossshhh- Hic-Emerald, which I've alsho got with me." He said, momentarily taking out a dull yellow gem, then putting it away. "With the cash they's offering me, I can get G.U.N. off my backsh and leave you loshersh in the dusht for good!" Sonic answered, pleased with himself. "Good-Hic-luck, man." Said Knuckles. "Ah, who needsh-Hic-luck? All I've gotta do to get away from the authoritiesh ish meet up with the Shony representatives at the randayvoo point before midnight, and I'm home-Hic-home-Hic-home free!" Sonic said. They all cheered drunkenly and clinked beer glasses, not knowing the entire conversation had been caught on the security camera. Suddenly, a dozen or so security guards barged into the bar, frightening the patrons. The former G.U.N. agents surrounded the table our drunken friends were sitting at. Pi2 marched through the ring of soldiers, looking furious. "Sonic Takeshi Hedgehog, you are under arrest!" "What-Hic-fir?" he slurred. "For theft of important data pertaining the Nintendo Company and conspiring to sell it to the enemy!" Pi2 barked. "Wuzzat?" Sonic asked, confused. Pi2's scowl deepened. "I said-" He took a closer look at them all. "Oh wait, you're drunk. Let me fix that." Pi2 snapped his fingers. Suddenly, everyone in the bar was completely sober. There was a look of confusion on the faces of everyone at the table. Then what they had been discussing a second ago fully registered on their faces. Shadow leapt at Sonic and started throttling him. "YOU! LITTLE! BASTARD! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US?!?" Sonic gulped. "Sh-Sh-Shadow, I-I was just doing it for us! You know, in case Scales lost the tournament!" "Don't give us that, you asshole!" yelled Knuckles. "The gems Rouge stole are worth more than enough to help purchase the ARK if Scales loses! You're doing this for nothing but your own gratification!" "Even I'M shocked that you did this!" said Eggman furiously. "I've done many horrible things, attempting to take over the world, turning innocent civilians into heartless machines, killing people for no reason and trying to blow up the planet, but I would never betray the company I work for!" Sonic shook Shadow off of him. "May I say something in my defense?" Pi2 sighed. "Fine, what is it?" "Well." Sonic suddenly grabbed the data disk from the table, pulled out his blue Chaos Emerald and yelled "CHAOS CONTROL!" He disappeared in a flash of blue light. "NO!" screamed Pi2. "He's getting away!" "Can't you stop him?" asked Knuckles. Pi2 started sobbing. "My powers have no jurisdiction outside of the Coliseum! All I know is where he transported himself. If he gets away with that data, Nintendo is screwed!" "Not to mention that if Microsoft gets their claws on the fake Emerald, they could have enough power to conquer the real world." Added Eggman. Pi2 wailed. "When the bosses find out about this, I'll be ruined!" Shadow pulled out his green Chaos Emerald. "Not if I can help it! Quick, where did he go?" "He warped to the road leading away from the Coliseum. But by now, he's probably already at the bridge leading into the city." Said Pi2. "Not if I can help it! CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow vanished in a flash of green light.
Shadow reappeared outside, on the highway. Fortunately, nobody was driving to or from the Coliseum at the time being. Perhaps I should give you a bit of a geography lesson. The Coliseum was built on a great tower of earth jutting from the sea. It is connected to the mainland and Nintendo City by a very long suspension bridge. Shadow was at the edge of the bridge. He could see the blue hedgehog only a couple of yards ahead from him, running. Shadow quickly caught up with him, staying behind Sonic for a moment. When he was sure Sonic wasn't aware of his presence, Shadow hit his enemy in the back with a Homing Attack. "Aaaahhhhh! What the-" he saw Shadow and started gibbering. "Sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-shadow! H-h-how-" "I followed you, faker. I'm not going to let you get away with this betrayal!" said Shadow angrily. "Oh yeah? Well, let's see you try and stop me!" Sonic turned and started running down the bridge. Shadow chased after him. When he caught up to Sonic, he hit the traitor with another Homing Attack. "Oof! Take this!" Sonic tried to hit Shadow with a Homing Attack. Shadow leapt into the air, deflecting the attack with one of his own. They landed back on the ground and kept running. Shadow tried another Homing Attack, but was deflected by Sonic. This strategy wasn't going to work anymore. He tried to remember how he had beaten Sonic in their final battle on the ARK. He recalled the winning strategy and grinned. He stopped in his tracks, allowing Sonic to get ahead of him. Sonic noticed Shadow wasn't chasing him after a minute or two and stopped several dozen yards ahead. He pulled out his Chaos Emerald and started concentrating. Shadow immediately started running towards Sonic, eating up the distance between them rapidly. Sonic finished concentrating on the Emerald, unleashing the attack. "SONIC WIND!" Shadow immediately jumped into the air as a blue vortex of energy formed right where he had been standing. While in the air, he performed a Homing Attack, getting away from the Sonic Wind and slamming into the cobalt traitor. Sonic grunted and started running again. Shadow ran after him, keeping pace for a while. Then he stopped again, waiting for Sonic to try his special attack again. When Sonic had gotten a sufficient distance ahead, he pulled out his Chaos Emerald and started charging his attack again. Shadow curled into a ball and started spinning in place. After a few seconds, Sonic was done charging and cried out "SONIC WIND!" As the vortex started to form, Shadow instantly let loose his own attack, the spindash. Rolling forward at incredible speed, leaving a trail of yellow light behind him, Shadow rammed into Sonic, bowling him over. Shadow uncurled and got up. Sonic groaned and got up as well. "Give up, traitor?" asked Shadow. "No way!" yelled Sonic. He charged at Shadow. Shadow jumped out of the way. This was bad for Sonic, since Shadow had been standing near the edge of the bridge. Unable to stop himself, Sonic ran off the end of the bridge and started falling. Shadow looked at the edge and shook his head sadly. That's when he heard a strange sound, like a jet engine. It got louder, coming from below him. Shadow was astonished to suddenly see Sonic appear before him, seemingly standing in midair. But as the blue hedgehog started rising higher, Shadow realized he was merely standing on top of an airship that had been floating under the bridge, breaking his fall. The airship was recognizable as the cool-looking ship from Final Fantasy X, so our dark hero knew this was what Sonic had been going to meet up with. Sonic laughed and waved goodbye at Shadow as the great ship turned and started flying away. Shadow had to think quickly. He needed to get on that ship! He noticed a ledge protruding from the ship's hull, an emergency hatch located on it. He pulled out his Emerald. "Chaos Control!" He was warped onto the ledge with the hatch. Struggling not to get blown off, Shadow forced open the hatch and stepped into the ship. He slammed the hatch shut behind him and found himself in a corridor inside the ship. He figured he'd have to get to the bridge if he wanted to stop this airship from delivering the data to Sony. After locating a map of the ship, he started working his way through the decks until, in a corridor, he was confronted by an orange bandicoot with a pink belly, sneakers, and a pair of blue shorts. "Crash Bandicoot? What are you doing here?" The bandicoot grinned. "I'm part of the convoy to deliver the top-secret data to our head honchos in Sony!" "But you had a game on Gameboy Advance! Why are you doing this?" "So? Lots of games have been on both Nintendo and Sony systems. Doesn't mean I'm loyal to Nintendo. Anyway, I intend to stop you to preserve the honor of the Sony Corporation!" said Crash proudly. Crash started spinning towards Shadow. Shadow easily stepped out of the way. When Crash's spin ran out and before he could use a new attack, Shadow walked right up to the marsupial and poked him lightly in the stomach. Crash screamed, clutched his chest, and fell to the floor. He twitched occasionally, but didn't move aside from that. Shadow chuckled. "That's the problem with you Crash, it only takes one touch from an enemy to kill you." Leaving the bandicoot behind, Shadow continued going up through the airship, knocking any crewmembers who saw him unconscious, until he ran into a British woman with brown hair and big guns. "Uh, do I know you?" "Doubt it love. Name's Croft. Lara Croft. She cocked her pistol. "And you're about to enter a world of hurt." She fired her gun. Shadow snatched out with his hand, grabbing the bullet in midair. "Huh? How did you do that?" Shadow smiled. "Super speed. The same thing that lets me do THIS!" He wound up his arm and threw the bullet back at Lara with incredible power, sending it right into her skull. She gaped and fell to the ground, dead. He started continuing down the hallway. "Sorry. I didn't really want to kill you, but you didn't leave me much of a choice." He called back to the corpse. He continued through the airship, going up a few decks before being confronted by something new. He sniffed the air, smelling something really bad. "Ew, what is that odor?" Something leapt out in front of him from a side corridor. "Ah ha! At last you have come, knave! Now we may engage in combat!" Shadow blinked. "Oh, THAT'S what smells. A rotting corpse." The figure before him didn't look too happy about this. He was a skeleton, clad in gold armor, wielding a great purple sword and a gold and black shield. His skull was missing one eyeball and his lower jaw. "Now see here, varlet, I am no corpse!" he said, despite his lack of a second jaw. "I am the dead knight, Sir Daniel Fortesque! You are attempting to stop the business transactions of the great Sony Empire, and thus must be stopped! I, Sir Dan, challenge you to one-on-one combat." "Well, it seems pointless, but fine. I suppose you'll give me a weapon?" asked Shadow. "Of course!" Sir Dan tossed Shadow a Chicken Drumstick. Shadow stared at it. "A Chicken Drumstick. You've got a big sword and who knows what else, and you intend me to defend myself with a Chicken Drumstick?" "Yes." "Whatever happened to chivalry? The knights' code of honor?" Dan laughed. "Haven't you heard? Chivalry is dead! So am I! Haha!" Sir Dan charged Shadow, swiping with his sword. Shadow threw away the Chicken Drumstick and fire somersaulted under the swing, knocking Sir Dan off his feet. As the skeleton tried to get up, Shadow hit him with a roundhouse kick, knocking him down again. He ran around to Sir Dan's front, grabbed onto the sword, and tried to pull it from the skeleton's hand. There was a wrenching pop, and Shadow suddenly found himself holding Dan's sword, as well as his entire right arm. Disgusted, he threw it away. Dan got back up to his feet and swung at Shadow with his shield. Shadow leaped over the swing, jumping over Dan, kicking him in the head while he was in the air. Dan raised the shield to defend himself from an attack and charged the black hedgehog. Shadow simply hit the shield with a Homing Attack, shattering it. Dan cursed. "I knew I should have let the Spiv to recharge this thing last time I had a chance!" Dan reached into dimensional space and pulled out a pistol. He fired. Shadow grabbed the bullet out of midair and threw it with amazing precision back into the gun, setting off the gunpowder insider and making it explode. Dan yelped and waved his slightly charred hand. He pulled out a huge hammer and tried to swing at Shadow with it. Shadow dodged the swings, and almost got hit when Dan tried to smash his head in with the giant mallet. Shadow powerfully kicked the hammer's handle before Dan could raise it back up, breaking it. Angry, Dan pulled out what appeared to be a cane and swung at Shadow with it. Shadow pulled the cane from Dan's hand and easily broke it over his knee. Dan pulled out a crossbow with a flaming arrow and shot it at Shadow. Shadow ducked, missing the fiery bolt. Sir Dan tried to fire again, but realized that he couldn't load any more arrows without the use of both arms. He threw the weapon away and pulled out a big throwing axe. He hurled it at Shadow's head. Shadow jumped out of the way, and the Axe was imbedded in the wall behind him. Sir Dan pulled out a lit bomb and threw it at Shadow. He grabbed it and threw it back, blowing it up right in Sir Dan's face. Sir Dan cursed and pulled out what looked like a ball of purple crackling electricity. "Ha! This will surely stop you! Let's see if you can survive my Lightning!" "Wait. You mean that the thing you're holding is actually lightning?" "Er, yes." "Isn't it impossible to hold something giving off electricity without getting shocked?" Dan thought a moment. "You know, that's a good point. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" he screamed as the electricity convulsed through his body. He quickly stuffed the Lightning back in the dimensional pocket and took out a large rifle. "Okay, your tricks won't save you from the Blunderbuss!" Dan fired the Blunderbuss. Once again, Shadow caught the bullet and threw it back, destroying the gun. "Aaagh! Can't you just die?!?" "Nope, sorry." "That does it! The kid gloves are off!" Shadow's eyes bulged as Dan took out a Gatling Gun. "I very much doubt you can simply grab one of these bullets! Hahahahahaha!" Dan pulled the trigger. The gun whirred and did nothing. "Huh?" Dan tried again, with the same results. "Shit! I forgot to reload this thing!" Shadow performed a homing attack on Dan's head, knocking it off of the body. As Dan's body wandered around blindly, Shadow ran over to the head and stomped it hard, breaking it. Sir Dan screamed. The body quivered, and fell to pieces. Shadow shook his head. "They just don't make skeletal warriors like they used to. Oh well." Shadow continued up a few more decks until he ran into his next foe. Actually, there were two of them, a dragonfly and a small purple dragon. "Oh please, is this the best Sony's got to throw at me?" asked Shadow. The dragon growled. "We're not gonna take that kind of guff, are we Sparx?" "No way, Spyro!" said the dragonfly. "Then let's get him!" roared Spyro. He lowered his head and charged at Shadow, not unlike a ram. Shadow jumped over Spyro as he charged and was suddenly attacked by Sparx, who flew around his head rapidly, buzzing loudly. Shadow snatched out his hand, grabbed Sparx, and squished him. "Sparx! You big dumb hedgehog, you killed my best friend! You'll pay for that!" Spyro inhaled deeply ad unleashed a powerful blast of fire breath. Shadow ran away from the burst and kicked Spyro in the sides. The dragon turned around and rammed him right in the stomach. Shadow staggered back, clutching his chest. Spyro hit him with fire breath. When the flames cleared, Spyro was astonished to see Shadow still standing, albeit a little singed. "Wha? How did you survive that?" Shadow smiled, wincing a little. "Hey, I'm the Ultimate Lifeform. If I can handle falling through the atmosphere, I can survive a little fire breath." Spyro thought a moment. "Well, damn! Those are the only attacks I have, charging and flaming. And neither seems to be that effective on you. What do we do now?" "I could kill you." Offered Shadow. "Uh, no wait! I know! I'll defect!" said Spyro quickly Shadow blinked. "You defect?" "Yeah, I'll join your side. I'm tired of working for Sony anyway." Said Spyro. Shadow shrugged. "Well, okay then. Do you need a lift back to Nintendo headquarters?" "No, I can fly to there from here." "You may get arrested. Do you have some paper? I can give you a note that'll help smooth things over." They quickly found some paper and pen in a cabin, Shadow hastily wrote an explanatory note, and Spyro headed for the nearest emergency hatch. Before leaving, he had a piece of advice for the hedgehog. "You're trying to get back the stolen data, right? Well, you'd better hurry up. Pretty soon the airship will be heading into Sony territory, and once there you'll be done for. Bye." He left. Shadow continued on his journey, and finally made it to the top deck, where the bridge was. However, right in the large hallway leading to the bridge, he ran into a problem. Another enemy. His foe was a human, with long robes that made him look a little girlish. He had waist length blue hair and these two scything tufts of blue hair extending from the top of his head. He had a haughty look on his face. "Greetings, lowly vermin. We meet at last. I am Seymour, Maester of Yevon and Grand Summoner. You may have been lucky with the others, but I shall be the means to your defeat." Shadow rolled his eyes. "Whatever. Let's see how good at fighting you are, I'm pretty sure I can beat you." Seymour laughed. "Oh, you poor fool, I almost pity you. You have no idea what you are getting into. Let's begin!" There was a sudden blur and swirl as the whole ship seemed to flip 360 degrees. Shadow staggered around as everything went back to normal, right before throwing up. "What was that?!" "Battle transitions. You get used to them." "Battle transition?" "Yes. You see, we have now entered a fight in.TURN-BASED COMBAT! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Shadow stared at Seymour. "Okay, you're weird." Seymour smiled smugly. "And now, I will ensure your doom! With this spell I am about to cast, every summon monster from Final Fantasy IV-X will appear in this room and attack you, ensuring instant victory!" He started waving his hands and chanting. A blue box with the words "SUPREME SUMMON" appeared in the air. In an incredible show of special effects and CGI that are too flashy to possibly describe, Imp, Bomb, Mage, Mist Dragon, Cocatris, Asura, Mog/Chocobo, Sylph, Remora, Shiva, Ramu, Ifrit, Titan, Hydra, Odin, Phoenix, Golem, Shoat, Carbuncle, Leviathan, Bahamut, Alexander, Bismark, Crusader, Fenrir, Kirin, Maduin, Palidor, Phantom, Ragnarok, Raiden, Siren, Seraphim, Starlet, Stray, Terrato, Tritoch, Unicorn, Zoneseek, Kujata, Bahamut Neo, Hades, Bahamut Zero, Typhoon, Knights of the Round, Moomba, Gilgamesh, Quezacotl, Brothers, Diablos, Pandemona, Cerberus, Doomtrain, Jumbo Cactuar, Tonberry King, Eden, Atomos, Ark, Madeen, Valefor, Ixion, Yojimbo, Anima, and the Magus Sisters all appeared. Shadow gaped at the display and the sixty-four monsters now standing before him. "How did you get all of those things to fit into this corridor?" Seymour shrugged. "I dunno. Now, attack my pets! Attack!" The monsters stood there like statues. "Oh yeah, I forgot! It's your turn!" "Okay, what am I supposed to do?" "It's quite simple. See the menu bar down there?" "Menu bar? What menu-" Shadow stopped, seeing there was actually a menu bar of sorts beneath him. "How did that get there?' "That's not important. Anyway, you have three choices. You can either Attack, use Magic, or try to run away. What will you do?" "Uh, let's see what options I have for either one." Shadow selected Attack. Another menu popped up, with the options Homing Attack, Spindash, Roundhouse Kick, Somersault, Fire Somersault, and Lightspeed Attack. "Hmm. Let's see what I can use in the magic department." The magic menu had only two options, Chaos Control and Chaos Spear. "Well, doesn't seem fair but I'll use what I've got. I know my Chaos Spear is stronger than all my other attacks, so I'll use it." Shadow pulled out his Chaos Emerald. A blue text box appeared over his head, saying "SHADOW USED CHAOS SPEAR". Shadow yelled a basic generic cry and the emerald glowed. Yellow spears of energy rained down from all over, striking each monster multiple times. When the attack animation faded, white numbers appeared over the monster's heads. Each monster had the same number, 5. "What does this mean?" Seymour laughed again. "It means that your pathetic attack only did five damage to each of my pets! If there were only one of them, your attack would have been much more focused and have done maybe 320 damage. But your plan failed, and now you will face defeat! All monsters, attack!" In another, even longer series of incredibly flashy FMV's, the monsters attacked. Shadow was hit by each attack, thankful that in turn-based combat it's impossible to actually feel pain. It took half an hour, but finally all of the attacks were finished. "Excellent! Now to see how much damage my creatures have done! Surely it was enough to kill you!" The word "MISS" appeared over Shadow's head in white letters. "WHAT? NOOOOOOOOOOO!" Shadow smirked. "Ha! It appears that my Flame Ring has an incredibly high Evade rating! Now let's see if I have a better way of attacking. I know, I'll fight fire with fire!" He raised his Chaos Emerald. "Summon.uh.Summon.uh.. I know! Summon Perfect Chaos!" Another FMV started. I won't go into details, let's just say it was the introductory cinema for Perfect Chaos' appearance in Sonic Adventure. Perfect Chaos looked around himself, confused. "Huh? How'd I get here? And why am I in my true form? And how is it that I can fit in this corridor that should be far too small to contain my gargantuan self?" "That's not important right now, what is important is that I summoned you so you can help me beat Seymour and his freaks over there!" said Shadow. Perfect Chaos sighed. "Fine, whatever. Let's get this over with. I have no idea what you're talking about, but I figure the sooner I get through with this, the sooner I get back to Tikal in our hot tub. Do I attack them now?" "No, you have to wait your turn," said Shadow. Seymour scowled. "Your Flame Ring won't help your water beast! All monsters attack again! And let's skip the long cutscenes for the attacks, okay?" Ten minutes later, the monsters had all hit Perfect Chaos with their shorter but still powerful attacks. The white numbers over Perfect Chaos' head said 64. "Oh no! How is this possible?" wailed Seymour. "I am a god, fool! Now, see your pets die before you with my ultimate attack, which does not have an annoying and really long cutscene to go with it!" Perfect Chaos opened his mouth, purple energy gathering in it. The words "CHAOS BEAM" appeared in the blue text box. Perfect Chaos fired the Beam in an incredibly powerful blast of purple energy, sweeping it over all the summoned monsters. When the attack ended, the numbers 1,000,000,000 appeared over all of their heads. They vanished, defeated. "But-but-but that's impossible!" protested Seymour. "No attack can go over the 9999 damage limit!" Perfect Chaos looked at Shadow. "Is that true?" The black hedgehog shrugged. "Oh well. I guess it's your turn now, pretty boy." Seymour started waving his hands and chanting again. Another monster appeared, one so incredible that I just can't describe it. (Also because I have no idea what it looks like.) "This is Braska's Final Aeon. It will definitely kill you all!" "Is it my turn again?" asked Perfect Chaos. "Yes." "Good." Perfect Chaos hit Braska's Final Aeon with another Chaos Beam. Braska's Final Aeon vanished, defeated. "I'm bored. Shadow, can I please go home now? Tikal's probably drying off already." "Sorry, the fight's not over yet." "Dammit!" Seymour cast his Fira spell. The flames burned over Perfect Chaos and did 100 damage. "Hey, how'd he do that? I thought water beat fire. Whatever, time to finish this." Perfect Chaos used Chaos Beam. Seymour took 1,000,000,000 damage. He screamed and fell to the floor. Another text box came up. "Shadow beat Seymour! Gained 6,000 EXP. Gained 100 AP. Shadow received Magic Glove. Shadow learned Magic Hand!" The battle ended with a smoother transition than before, and Seymour got up. Suddenly, another FMV began. "Noooo! How could I have lost this battle? I-" "Oh god, enough of this!" roared Perfect Chaos. "Tikal's probably worried sick about me, I don't have time for this crap!" He roared, advanced on Seymour, and ate the summoner. "Can I go now, please?" Perfect Chaos begged of Shadow. "Yes, you're dismissed." Shadow said. "Thank you." Chaos vanished. Shadow walked down the rest of the hall and opened the door to the bridge. There were only two people in the room, Sonic and the pilot, Cid. Neither of them had noticed his entrance. Shadow considered challenging Sonic to another battle, but got a better idea. He reached out with his right arm, hand wide open. He concentrated on the traitorous blue hedgehog. After a few moments, his new Magic Glove glowed. There was a flash, and suddenly Sonic was gone and Shadow was holding a white ball containing a miniaturized Sonic. "What the-Shadow! Oh no, Cid, do something!" he yelled. Cid turned around in the pilot's seat and gasped. He gulped and got up. "S- stand back, mister! I-I'm an expert with the lance!" Shadow snickered. "No you're not. You're thinking of Cid from FFVII. If I'm not mistaken, you're Cid from FFX, same as the guy I beat before coming in here and this whole airship." "Damn, you're right." muttered Cid. He got on his knees. "Please, please don't kill me!" he whimpered. "Cid, you coward!" yelled Sonic. Shadow held the ball up so he could see Sonic eye to eye. "Tell me Sonic, how was this airship going to get back to the Sony galaxy? It's a long way from here." "I'm not telling you anything!" shouted Sonic. "Then I guess I'll just have to play a little basketball." Said Shadow, about to start dribbling the small prison. "No, wait! I'll tell you! Just don't dribble me!" protested Sonic. Shadow smiled. "I knew you'd see things my way. Now tell me, how is this airship going to get back to the Sony galaxy?" "They opened a portal from Sony City on their Virtual Earth. It's about a quarter mile from our current position, and opens right onto an airship dock." "How were you going to make the transaction with the fake Emerald and the data?" "Bill Gates and the CEO of Sony are waiting at the dock for me. They came all the way from the real world for this stuff." Sonic confessed. Shadow got a very brilliant idea. "Really? Both leaders of Nintendo's greatest rivals are waiting at the other end? That gives me a brilliant idea." He pitched the ball containing Sonic at Cid's head, knocking both of them unconscious. He picked up the ball and put it in his dimensional pocket. He walked over to the pilot's seat and examined the computer. "Good thing I learned all about hacking back on the ARK." He thought to himself. He quickly programmed the autopilot to stay on course to the portal, then checked for the self-destruct system. There was none. "I don't believe this. What kind of video game vehicle doesn't have a self-destruct in case of emergencies? Well, maybe I can improvise." He quickly started programming.
A little later.The airship came out of the portal, the gateway sealing behind it. The vessel hovered into the dock, the automatic clamps locking it in place. Standing at the bottom of the extending docking ramp were two of the most evil men on Earth, (Not as evil as Osama of course, but still pretty evil) the CEO of Sony and Bill Gates, leader of Microsoft. As the ramp locked in place with the main hatch and the door opened, the two men waited for their new agent to come out with the goods. After a few minutes, the doorway remained empty. "Where is he?" asked the CEO finally. "I don't know. Maybe they're having trouble?" suggested Gates. "Well, maybe we should find out. Come on." Said the CEO. He led Bill into the airship. They were quite surprised when they found the unconscious crew. "What happened? Why are they all knocked out?" asked Bill. "I don't know. Come on, let's go to the bridge. We might find our answers there." Said the CEO. They worked their way through the ship, pasty the unconscious crewmembers, until they reached the bridge. The only thing there was a knocked-out Cid. "Okay, something is definitely wrong here." "Where is that hedgehog? Where's my emerald?" Gates demanded to know. "I don't-" The CEO stopped. "What's that noise?" "It sounds like beeping. It's coming from the pilot's seat!" said Gates. They ran over and looked at the console screen. There was a timer ticking down, with ten seconds to go. "Oh my god, it's a bomb of sort!" wailed the CEO. Bill leapt into the chair and started fiddling with the computer. At the last second, he hacked into the system linked to the timer and deactivated it. The timer froze at 1. "There. Problem solved." Said the computer genius proudly. Then the lights started flashing red. "Warning. Power surge detected in engine room." said the standard female computer voice. "Attempting to use surge adapters. Error. Surge adapters have been deactivated. Power surge overloading engines. Internal combustion in 5.4.3." The two men looked at each other. "Oh f-" they started to say at the same time. The airship exploded.
Back at the Coliseum Bridge.The police were reading a heavily handcuffed Sonic his rights and taking away the stolen data and the fake Emerald while Shadow watched and took Sonic's blue Emerald. Pi2 was nearby, talking to someone on his cell phone. "Uh huh.Uh huh.Yeah, I got it. I'll go tell him. Bye." Pi2 hung up the phone. "Shadow! Please come here." "What is it, sir?" he asked as he came over to the Pokemon. "I was just on the phone with Shigeru Miyamoto and Yuji Naka. They have a message for both you AND Sonic. Hey boys, bring the traitor over here!" The police complied, dragging the unwilling Sonic over to Pi2. "Mister Hedgehog, I just got a call from our chiefs. Yuji says he's very disappointed in you. Shigeru says you're fired and will be spending a very long time in prison. As for you," he said, turning to Shadow. "Yuji is extremely proud of you and says Sonic Adventure 3 is being changed completely because of this. Congratulations, you'll be reappearing in the very first Shadow Adventure." Shadow started stuttering, shocked. "Oh, and Shigeru says that after the tournament you will receive a gold medal for heroism and a check for one million Nintendo dollars." Shadow regained his voice. "Oh, I didn't do that much." Pi2 snorted. "You kidding me? You captured a dangerous traitor, recovered important data and a valuable fake Chaos Emerald, killed some of Sony's most dangerous characters, converted Spyro the Dragon to our side, and have also succeeded in eliminating the leaders of our biggest rivals. In short, you have saved the entire Nintendo Corporation. And my career. Thank you." He extended a paw. Shadow shook it. "Okay, take him away boys." Pi2 barked at the cops. As the cops started pulling Sonic towards a reinforced paddy wagon, Sonic screamed out, "No cell can hold Sonic the Hedgehog for long, Shadow! When I get out of jail, I'm gonna kill you losers! That two tailed freak, that fat lunatic, that stinky echidna and his slut of a bat, that whore Amy and most of all you! You hear me Shadow? I'm gonna kill you all!" "Stop!" yelled Shadow. The police stopped. Shadow walked over to Sonic and looked at him for a moment. Then he punched him hard in the face. "THIS is for being a jerk to Amy." He hit Sonic in the gut. "THIS is for being such an asshole." Finally, he kicked Sonic in the groin, causing him to keel over. "And THIS is for betraying us all! I wish to never have anything to do with you again, blue hedgehog! To me, the name 'Sonic' no longer has any meaning! And I want you to remember that for the rest of your hopefully short life." Shadow stepped away, signifying he was done. The police threw Sonic into the back of the prisoner transport, locked it securely, and drove away. Shadow shook his head in disgust and headed back towards the Coliseum.
So how was it? I know it probably didn't conform to your interests, but I did what I had to do. The evidence pointed to Sonic anyway, remember? Able to teleport and wearing shoes? I could have made it Shadow, but that would have left Amy heartbroken. Besides, I already portrayed Sonic as a jerk to help ease the pain of his betrayal. In any case, I don't see anything wrong with making Sonic a bad guy. I know he's a hero, but you'd think once in a while people would try seeing him as a villain or a traitor. I know it's not what you want, but I'm keeping an open mind here and I'm hoping all of you can do that too. If so, I humbly request that you do not flame me, and if you do, don't do it too harshly. I hope you will not hold this one chapter against me and keep reading the story until it's finished. Please forgive me. Next time: It's almost time for the final match. Scales and Majora reflect on their pasts, to what made them what they are today. What influences helped them become the sort of people they are now? Find out on the next.Super Smash Bosses!
