A Second Hedgehog

Sonic stepped outside of the president's room. He found himself with three military soldiers. "Hello Sonic" one of them greeted. "Hi" Sonic greeted back. "We are soldiers from the G.U.N. organization" another one of the soldiers explained. "And I suppose the G.U.N. are military forces from the U.S. right?" Sonic guessed. "That's right" the soldier answered while nodding. "I'm Max" the soldier introduced himself. "I'm Rex" the other soldier said. "And I'm Jax" the third soldier finished. They all shook hands and went inside a helicopter outside the White House. When they got to the area where the terrorists were, they slowly descended. They went out of the helicopter slowly and quietly aware of any enemies around the area. Suddenly, Jax got shot in the leg. Jax screamed and held his leg with both hands for a moment. "Damn it! Our stealth didn't work!" Max yelled. "Now we have to rescue the world leaders before they're killed!" Rex stated. "Leave it to me" Sonic ordered. Sonic ran as fast as he could. He couldn't believe it; he was running almost at the speed of sound! He dodged enemies at all costs but sometimes punched them in their stomachs. He kept running until he reached the world leaders.

They were surrounded inside a circle of terrorists. The terrorists hadn't spotted Sonic, but the two world leaders did. So Sonic took advantage of this and ran around the circle of enemies. After he had made three complete turns around them, he had collected all of their automatic rifles. "What the hell!?" one of the terrorists exclaimed, puzzled as he saw his weapon wasn't in his hands anymore. They all looked at Sonic who threw the weapons way back. The terrorists got angry and headed towards Sonic who used his speed and strength to bring them down quickly. Then he escorted the world leaders back to where Max, Rex, and Jax were. Meanwhile, back in the White House, Robotnik and the president were seeing it all through a small screen on the president's desk. The signal was being transmitted from a small hidden camera in the helicopter that Sonic, Max, Rex, and Jax went in.

"So what do you think Mr. President?" Robotnik asked with a grin on his face. "He's pretty powerful" the president admitted. "Now that we know which formula to use, we can create even more of these animal-like soldiers" Robotnik suggested. "I don't think that will be needed" the president said. "That wasn't a suggestion Mr. President, it was an order" Robotnik menacingly snarled. "What!?" the president exclaimed outraged at Robotnik's behavior towards his superior. The president tilted his head to look at Robotnik's face. He noticed that evil smile Robotnik had on his face, and he knew he was up to no good. "What do you mean?" the president asked. Robotnik simply punched the president with all his might. The unconscious president fell on the floor while the mad scientist went out the door. Robotnik hurried to his underground lab once again. He ordered Dr. Jones to initiate some sort of 'cloning process.' Dr. Jones nodded and obeyed. Inside a gooey capsule, a clone of Sonic was being made. Robotnik intended to take over the world with Sonic's help, but he knew the kind hedgehog would refuse to. So he was going to make a more powerful clone of Sonic and lie to it. He would tell the clone that Sonic and G.U.N. were evil and that he wanted to take over the world to get rid of them. That was his plan. The clone grew and grew until he was Sonic's size. The capsule opened releasing the clone and the gooey substance inside on the floor. The clone had mostly black hair and some shoes similar to those of Sonic. On his chest, he had a white puff of hair and on his head, he had red streaks. The clone also had glove-like hands similar to those of Sonic. The clone got up from the gooey floor and walked towards Robotnik. "Welcome Shadow" Robotnik greeted the hedgehog. "Who am I...where am I?" the now named clone asked in confusion. "All your questions will be answered soon," Robotnik promised, "but first you have to do something for me." Robotnik activated a small gadget lying on a table. The gadget released a holographic image of Sonic. "I want you to kill that hedgehog as soon as he gets here" the scientist ordered the hedgehog. "And then I'll get answers?" Shadow asked suspiciously. Robotnik nodded in reply. "Fine" Shadow agreed. Shadow walked around the lab waiting for an alarm to sound and tell him that Sonic was there.

"Soon, the world will be mine!" Robotnik murmured under his breath. "What?" Shadow asked hearing some mumbled words from the scientist. "Oh nothing" Robotnik answered with a kind smile.
