More commentary on this one...
Sorry about not updating, I stupidly started another series and found out I only write good when I'm bored, and that's when I'm at skool ;; not something to be proud of. Guess what. I got a scanner, I'm in the process of coloring in Death-Scythe, but in MSN paint, it's easier said than done. ;; Please excuse Death-Scythe's comment. You'll know what I'm talking about. As for the title of this addition, it just means I couldn't think of any thing.
Chapter 6: So sayeth death, the world is mine your daylight is but a vein display...

Sleepily Sonic wandered into the living room. Shadow and Bacura were talking quietly to each other as Tails, who had bandages wrapped tightly around his head, prepared breakfast, not at all bothered by having a tiger lying on the couch.
"Morning Sonic!" Tails chimed happily.
"Morning Tails, Shade, Bacura." Sonic muttered not fully awake. Lazily he watched Tigris wonder in the room. Her head was bowed and eyes were closed but nonetheless, she made it through with out running into any thing.
"There's two of them!?" Tails partly asked, partly yelled.
"I told you." Bacura replied as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it," Sonic muttered getting up. "Who is it?"
"Guess!" A vary high-pitched cheery voice declared.
"Oh no, Amy!" Sonic cringed.
"Amy...?" Shadow thought aloud. "Oh, that color blind hedgehog I saw on ARK, I remember her..."
"You know her?" Sonic asked trying to forget said pink hedgehog was at the door.
"Yeah, she mistook me for you." Shadow said rather stale-ly. Sighing Tails went and answered to door.
"Good Morning Tails!" Amy greeted brightly.
"Hi Amy, we umm, have a few...other guests over..." Tails stuttered letting Amy in.
Immediately she caught sight of Shadow. Faster that sonic could ever hope to manage she was across the room. Her arms where tightly wrapped around Shadow's waist as a flood of words spilled from her mouth.
Shadow sent a pleading look to Sonic as he tried fruitlessly to pry the little hedgehog off him. Sonic stood back stifling his laughter, he was enjoying every minute of the fact that the 'Ultimate Life Form' was at the mercy of one, Amy Rose.
After much coxing Amy let go of Shadow who promptly gave Sonic the 'I'll-kill-you-in-your-sleep' glare. Amy met Tigris and Bacura, Tails called breakfast witch wasn't very exciting except for a threat on Sonic's life from Shadow for taking the last sausage.
After, Amy proposed that they all should all go out. Tigris and Bacura said they had somewhere else to be and left, Tails said he had to finish some modifications on the Tornado, but would catch up later. Shadow was skeptical about going but gave in when Amy employed the 'Dreaded Puppy-Dog Eyes of Doom.'

...Don't let go...

Shiloh wandered down the long hallways of the... base? I guess you could call it that. She thought. I wonder where it came from. Probably Kat she al- Her thoughts where cut short as she walked smack in to someone warm and fuzzy.
"Sorry, I wasn't lookin' where I was goin'" she muttered in her heavy New Yorker's accent.
"Whatever," The black and white hedgehog known as Death-Scythe, said as he pulled Shiloh to her feet. "Watch it next time."
Poor Guy She thought as he walked off. He must hate being locked up in here... I know! "Hay, 'Scythe!"
"Yeah? What is it?" he asked not turning around.
"Wanna Come with?"
This caught the hedgehog's attention, turning around his deep ruby eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Where to?"
"Just a walk through Station Square..."
"O...Kay."
--
Shiloh gazed into yet another shop eyeing the dress inside. Death-Scythe sighed as he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes. This was not what he had in mind.
"It's beautiful..." Shiloh whispered.
"Yeah..." Agreed a voice next to her.
The black and white hedgehog cracked an eye to see the pink hedgehog next to Shiloh.
Amy! Come on!" Moving slightly to see who else might be there, he met face to face with Shadow.
"Umm, Shiloh...?"
"Yes?" Shiloh asked pulling away from her window-shopping. "...uh-oh."
"What are you doing here?" Shadow demanded.
"Can't a guy take a brake once and a wile?" Death-Scythe asked closing his eyes surging his shoulders and turning to the side, completely stealing Sonic's act.
"Hay, you're with Kat!" Sonic butted in.
Death-Scythe stared at him for a moment before saying; "You're really slow, you know that don't you?"
"Why you-" Sonic's threat was cut short by the sounds of a helicopter. The group stood and watched as the copters came over the buildings.
"Project Shadow, Project Death-Scythe, you are under arrest. Come quietly or we will be forced to eliminate you!" A GUN grunt called over a loud speaker as every type of military arsenal was deployed to the area.
"So how are we gonna get out of this mess?" Sonic asked.
"We won't of we are bickering amongst our selves." Shadow responded.
"I second that," Death-Scythe added. "Hay, they're after us. What to you have to worry about?"
"I'm not leavening Shadow..." Sonic paused, staring in to the other's eyes; Emerald spheres seem to search his soul. "Or you, to be locked up again."
"Remind me later to question your sanity." Death-Scythe replied.
"Keep that up and you'll be wishing they did catch you." Sonic snapped back.
Okay, okay, shutting up now."
"Hello? What about us?" Amy practically yelled.
"We'll clear the way, first chance you get run." Sonic said taking charge. "Alright let's get started!" Sonic ran striate at the tanks blowing through one and into another.
"Not gonna let him have all the fun are we?" Death-Scythe asked. Shadow said nothing as he charged at a line of gunmen. They panicked, weapons misfired and men where shot down but no one stopped to help them.
"Cowards." Shadow scoffed as he watched them run in terror.
The sound of gunfire came to the remaining hedgehog's ears before he speed away dogging the bullets. Barely having enough speed, he ran vertically up the side of a building and latching on to the copter with the claw-like appendages extending from his wrists, then slamming one in to the bottom of the control panel.
The plane lost control swinging side to side releasing his grip the hedgehog plummeted. In mid-air he formed a spin ball destroying the tank below on impacted.
"Girls!" he called and watched as the disappeared down an alleyway. Satisfied he turned to find...
"Project Death-Scythe, come quietly and no harm will come." The monotone voice of the guard-bots commanded.
He's eyes where shaded in an unreadable expression. His only warning; "Let's play."
--
...It's all just a game I'm playing...
--
Sonic turned to the sounds of metal ripping through metal just as the force of an explosion forced him to shield his eyes. Again, he looked; flames seem to part for the hedgehog. Arms where held up and blades still extended his body was a black silhouette wile his eyes held an eerie glow against the fire light.
"Well, I know where he earned his name..."
"Look out!" Shadow called tackling Sonic to the ground as a laser beam singed the tips of their quills. "There's too many of them!"
"I think a retreat's in order."
"Right. Death-Scythe!" The black and white hedgehog in question halted his attack on a near by tank and turn to the caller. "Fall back 'Scythe!"
The three hedgehogs speed the city and in to the forest region sounding it.
--
...I want to fell safe in my own skin...
--
Run. Faster and faster, but as fast as they ran GUN was still close behind. Death-Scythe was getting tired. It wasn't easy for him to keep up with the much lighter hedgehogs in front of him for this long. Sonic knew if they didn't stop soon he'd collapse.
Desperately Sonic searched for a safe hiding place...there! Veering off to the side, he called to his doppelgangers to follow.
The second Death-Scythe was in side the cave he collapsed to the floor not even bothering to lug his tired body for it's faced-down position.
"You alright?" Sonic asked receiving a half-hearted nod.
"Be right back." He told Shadow. "Gonna See if we lost GUN's little parade." Then left.
The next few minutes where spent in silence. Death-Scythe's breathing had calmed so Shadow figured he was asleep. That is, until he spoke. "Trouble likes to keep a close eye on us, doesn't it?"
Shadow chuckled a bit. "You don't know the half of it."
"We seem to have some time, enlighten me." Shadow paused a moment then began to relayed the story of ARK to Death-Scythe as they waited for Sonic's return.
Why am I telling him this? Shadow thought. It's almost as if I could trust him with my life, but that's crazy. I don't know who he is and he's on the dark side. Yet it feels like I have known him all my life...
