Next Morning
I was the awoken to a lot of noise.
"Ahh, what's going on? Huh?" I stood up and saw Sonic conversing with someone.
As I walked over I knew who it was.
"Hey, look who's finally up?" said a two-tailed fox.
"Yeah, nice to see you too, Miles."
"Don't call me that, you know I go by Tails." Tails said.
"I never got why you don't like your original name."
"It just sounds strange."
I looked and notice the others waking up.
Emi was walkind ahead of the group.
"Ah, he's so cute!" she shouted, picking up Tails and giving him a big hug.
"Emi, please, drop him now." I said.
Emi let Tails go and Tails had this dazed look on his face.
"Hello? Have you forgotten already? Tails is an anthro as well." I said.
"Sorry, little guy."
"..It's...It's allright. No harm done."
Tails filled us in on how he's been doing.
"So you've got five arrow chips, too. Is Knux here as well?" Sonic asked.
"Yes, he's back at camp."
"Well, let's go meet up with him." I said.
We packed up our stuff and followed Tails to their camp.
As we walked, I explained what had happend and why the DDR Crew was with us.
"Wow, that's really bizarre." Tails said.
"Yeah, but I think it's for the best." I said, hugging Charmy.
"Wow, you mean you and Charmy..." Tails said, "You dog."
I as well as Charmy turned red.
"Wow, they're as red as Knux." Sonic said.
When we finally arrived at the camp,
Knuckles was packing up the camp when we arrived.
"Ah, I was wondering when you were getting back....Hey, you brought some friends."
"Nice to see you to, Knux." Sonic said.
"Likewise, and good to see you Ryan."
"Yeah, so, how have things been going for you?" I asked.
"Could be worse, but its been going fine."
We chatted for awhile.
It was good to be with old friends, as well as new ones.
Knux couldn't beleive the story either, but he knew it to be true.
"Yeah, I ran into that Alice chick, she was one little bitch, man. She made off with my chips, but luckily Tails gave me two of his." Knuckles said.
So, Tails and Knuckles decided to join up with us as we made our way through the western part of the island.
As we neared a tree covered plain, we spotted another DDR machine, this time a 5th Mix.
"I wonder who'll we'll meet next." Charmy said.
We waited...and waited...and waited.
"No one is showing up." I said.
"Well, what do we do?" Sonic said.
"You get your butt kicked." said a mysterious shadow.
"Huh? Okay, who said that?" Sonic asked.
A black hedgehog with red striped fur warped in front of us.
"I did." Shadow said.
As usual, Emi went to pick him up.
"Oh, another cute hedgehog." she said.
I jumped in front of her.
"Emi, again, he's an anthro." I said.
Emi just felt stupid.
I walked over to Rage.
"Man, Rage. Your girlfriend can be so stupid sometimes."
"Don't I know." Rage said.
Charmy was pointing behind me.
"What?" I asked, turning around.
Behind me was Emi, quite unhappy at what I said.
"Uh, Rage, I suggest we run." I said.
"Good idea." He said.
We ran with Emi in pursuit.
"Man, she's your girlfriend, can't you do anything?" I asked.
"What do you want me to do? Why don't you just use your 'Force'?"
"She's too strong willed, we're screwed."
We then noticed we had stopped behind a hill.
The next thing I know, Emi drop kicks me and I hit the ground.
Rage wasn't as lucky.
"You, your supposed to be my boyfriend, I can't beleive you agreed with him." Emi said,
kicking him and punching him.
"Exactly, then why are you hurting me?" Rage said.
"He's got you there." I said.
"Shut up, you!" she said, kicking me in the stomach.
I recoiled in pain...Man, for a girl, she can really cause some pain.
Emi walked back towards the others, dusting her hands off.
"Looks like they won't be trouble for awhile." Emi said.
Rage and I walked back, limping from our wounds.
"That's what you get for messing with her." Charmy said, laughing.
"Hahaha, funny." I said.
Rage looked like he'd be resting for awhile, so we sat down and talked.
"So, what's your story Shadow?" Charmy asked.
"Well, its a long story, but I'll try to make it shorter.......I'm not sure if Ryan
told you or not, but G.U.N. has been doing some bad stuff lately, including playing
God by making animals. I was known as Project Shadow, supposedly to be the Ultimate
Life Form. I was artificially created by Gerald Robotnik, but soon things went sour.
G.U.N. felt it was out of control and shut it down. They killed everyone, even my best
friend, Maria, Gerald's granddaughter. She helped me escape before she died....I wandered around Earth for awhile before I met Ryan and Sonic....They were nice guys and we became good friends...then they got me into DDR....and that brings me to here."
"Wow, Shadow, that's a sad story." Zukin said.
"Yeah, but that's the past. I've got new friends and a new life. That's all that matters now." Shadow said.
"So, where have you been for the last five months, Shad?" Sonic asked.
"Well, I had heard a rumor that this tournament was happening, so for the last five
months, I've been practicing DDR nonstop. I feel that I'm now the Ultimate DDRist."
"Sorry, but that title is owned by me." I said.
"Care to prove it?" Shadow said.
"Bring it, we'll each wager three arrow chips." I said.
Shadow and I jumped on the machine.
"Your pick." Shadow said.
I choose 'Dam Dariram KCP Mix'.
"Time to show you my true power." Shadow said.
I danced through the chaos patterns without breaking a sweat.
Shadow seemed to be struggling, but wouldn't give up.
When the result screen came up, we....tied?
"No way. We tied?" I said.
"Not bad, human." Shadow said.
Shadow picked the next song, 'Moonlight Shadow (New Vocal Version)'.
"Figures, shadow for a Shadow." I said.
Shadow moved through the runs and gallops like they were nothing.
I, on the other hand, messed up.
"Damn!" I shouted when the result screen came up.
7 perfects behind, and I felt each one, my score dropping to 1300.
"Ha, pathetic!" Shadow said.
"You won't beat me next time."
I choose the last song, the classic 'B4U'.
"Too easy." I said.
Shadow just gave me a look of annoyance.
I hopped, danced, and slid my way to a AA.
Shadow just looked in awe.
When the results screen came up, we were stunned.
Only 7 perfects made the difference, so Shadow and me tied at 1300 each.
"Well, I guess we're both the Ultimate DDRists." I said.
"Yeah, your right." Shadow said.
We made camp for the day and relaxed.
I can't beleive how good Shadow had gotten, he gave me a run for my money.
I guess five months of practice really helps.
Shadow's probably more obsessed with DDR than I am......maybe.
I looked around and noticed everyone had fallen asleep.
"Man, I'm always the last to fall asleep and then I'm the last to wake.....and then I
get shaken violently...*sigh*..it could be worse, I guess."
I laid down, closed my eyes, and dreamt of tommorow.......
