Clash of Ultimates





Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic. So :P.



**POV: 1st person**

It's so dark.........am I falling? Or floating? I can't tell. Sonic....be safe. I messed up big time..... Maybe this is my fate.



Maria........I'm coming.........





**POV: 3rd person**

"Sonic, come on!" Tails yells at his friend for the hundredth time. Sonic just sits in the chair staring at the wall. "You can't be upset forever!" Sonic doesn't even acknowledge Tails' pleas. Tails just gets frustrated and grabs the phone. Sonic just sighs.

"Sorry Tails.....I can't....." he mutters.



**In a desert**

"I don't think so bat-girl." Knuckles says. Rouge is sitting on his roof.

"Oh come on, you must have one itty-bitty diamond sitting around here somewhere. Or I can take the Master..." Knuckles cuts her off.

"If you even think about making me go through that again...." he says. Rouge laughs.

As the stare-down begins, Knuckles phone rings. Grumbling, he grabs it. "Yeah, what? Tails, I'm kinda in the middle of something....." Rouge looks on with interest. As Knuckles listens, his eyes go wide, then narrow. "So what do you expect me to do about it?" Rouge smiles. She knows, but it isn't lady-like to say those words. Knuckles glares at her, then turns away. "If I bring bat-girl, will you object? Great! I'll be over soon." Knuckles puts his phone down.

"So where are we going?" Rouge asks. Knuckles just shakes his head.

"Sonic's still in depression. Tails wants some help getting him out of it." He responds. Rouge smiles a bit.

"Race ya." She says taking off. Knuckles is right behind her.





**Random ocean**





Knuckles, Tails, Rouge and Amy have dragged Sonic down to a favorite spot for some fishing. Sonic still hasn't even shown any energy. Knuckles pulls up the boat they will be using and practically throws Sonic in it.

"Hey, watch the quills!" Sonic yells. The others just smile.

"Well, now we know you aren't dead." Rouge says. Sonic just groans. Tails helps Knuckles push the boat out. When they get to the place, they all (minus Sonic) pull out the rods. Knuckles is using a glorified net, which draws confused looks from everyone else.

"I don't want to hurt them....." he says. "Besides, you can catch bigger things with this." Tails just groans.

"Tell you what, you catch something bigger than what I catch, and I'll buy you lunch for the next week." Tails challenges. Knuckles nods. The girls groan. Knuckles casts out on one side, while Tails goes on the other. Then they wait.





**Eggman fortress**





Guess who's sucking up all the power? Eggman, who else? He is standing in front of a huge capsule filled with liquid.....and something else.

"Now, if my grandfather's notes are right......this is how Shadow was created. By modifying some of the design.....I can create a life form even more powerful! The true ultimate life form!" He laughs, then turns back to the panel. "Hmmmmmmmmm.....this one seems to be different already...this could be used to my advantage...." He looks up as the capsule shatters. A figure steps out of it...a hedgehog....light violet with indigo streaks. And female.



**Back with the good guys**



"YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Knuckles shouts. Tails gets surprised and drops his rod. Knuckles is having a hard time reeling in whatever he caught. Rouge is already helping him. Tails comes over and grabs on too. Even Sonic is interested, although not enough to help. Until they all see something strange....in the net...is a certain black hedgehog. When they bring him on board......he's still breathing..





To be continued......



I thought I would give this section a try. I will continue if it seems worth it. LONG LIVE SHADOW! ^_^
