Hi guys! I've been asked to put a disclaimer in so here it is. Speed/Sperk, Leda, Bojack, The Bounty Hunter Guild, Luxor, and Spin are all my creations. There are others, but I ain't concern to much about them. Oh and Speed and Sperk are the same person. He was born as Speed, but ditched the name in favor of being Sperk. And the changing between the two is like Bruce Wayne changing into Batman. Speed is a kind fun loving individual. But when he dons the guise of Sperk, he becomes a cold, calculating fighter. He is one person, one brain, and one personality. It is all in the outfit and mind set. I hope this clears some things up and thanks for the reviews.

Speed had to double-check his readings as they neared the island, "What in the hell is this?"

"What!" Leda walked up behind him, "Whats wrong?"

Speed sat back, "Something is very odd is on Angel Island! I can't even get a scan of the city."

Leda looked at the floating dot that was getting bigger in the view port, "What should we do?"

"Play it safe! Activating cloak!" The black ship shimmered and vanished.

Brood licked her fangs as she walked over to her new captives. Both Shadow and Rouge had been cocooned up to their heads and hung from the walls. Knuckles hung next to them. Only Shadow was awake. He tried to pull himself free, but with no luck, "Let me go you mutant freak!"

"That hurts!" She tapped Shadow's head, "Now don't be rude. It is only by the good grace of my master that you live."

"I ain't afraid of Robotnik!"

"You will be! Lord Robotnik is very interested in your fancy armor and weapons." Brood crawled over to the Master Emerald, "It is a shame that Chaos can not help you."

"What did you do to him?"

Brood smiled, "Master took him and entrapped him in his city. Your water god will not save you. At this moment, Bojack is dealing with Speed! Your allies are dead." Brood sat down in a make shift chair of web, "Soon you will get what you deserve." She yawned, "Then I will be able to feast on my captives." She closed half of her eyes and started to sleep.

Shadow pulled some more, but then stopped, "Damn it all! I have to get free."

Speed and Leda transformed and jumped off the cloaked ship. The ship silently hovered near the island. Leda sighed and accepted the fact Speed had donned his Sperk persona. Sperk looked around, "You know the number of a good exterminator?"

Leda looked around at all the webs and shrugged, "Not one who is willing to take this job." Several spiders crawled into view. Leda jumped behind Sperk, "I hate spiders!"

Sperk sighed, "Your kidding!" Leda shook her head and Sperk summoned his pike, "Sometimes I worry about you." He held his pike up, "Lighting Strike!" Lighting shot from the pike and zapped all the spiders into burning husks. Sperk smiled, "Better?"

"Much! My dad once locked me into a closet full of the damn things." Leda smiled when Sperk put his best sorry face on. She kissed him on the nose, "Forget it! You didn't know." She summoned her spear, "Lets go!" The two walked into the web forest.

Sonia covered her ears as she heard a strange banging sound against the ship. The sound grew louder and she heard the door being pried open. She grabbed a blaster pistol and ran toward it. She pulled the trigger several times, but the blaster had been drained just like the ship. She felt a hand snatch the gun away, "You're going to hurt somebody with this thing."

"Sperk!" Sonia opened her eyes, "Your here!"

"Who did you think it was?" Before she could answer, Leda screamed from outside, "Crap!" Sperk jumped outside and sighed, "Not again!" A large number of spiders had appeared. Sperk sat down, "This one is all yours!"

"But!"

"No buts! I am not going to fight all your battles!"

Leda gulped and turned to the spiders. She took a few breaths. As the spiders lunged themselves at her, she slammed her spear into the ground, "FireWall!" A wall of fire erupted from the ground and incinerated the spiders. As the wall vanished, Leda jumped up and down, "I did it!"

Sonia walked out of The Hunter and looked around, "They really did a number on this thing."

"And after I just gave it to you." Sperk stood up, "Where is Shadow and Rouge?"

"They walked into the forest a few hours ago. I wanted to go and look for them, but those things trapped me in the ship."

Sperk sighed, "Guess we better go get them. Come on Leda!"

"What about me?"

Sperk turned to Sonia, "Lock the door!" Both Leda and him disappeared into the forest.

Sonia kicked the ground and locked herself inside the webbed up ship, "One of these days I will be more than a scared girl inside a ship." She heard a twig snap outside and ran to the armory.

As the pair reached the outer limits of the city, the ground under them exploded and Brood leapt out of the hole, "How dare you kill my babies!"

Sperk spun his pike, "It was either them or us!"

He ran forward and tried to slice into the mutant. Brood moved with amazing speed and dodged the attack and used her arm to slam Sperk into the ground. Leda threw her spear at Brood, but she caught it, "Pathetic move!" The spear burst into flame and she had to drop it. As she backed off, Sperk rammed his pike into the under side off Brood. She cried out and jumped back, "Damn you!"

Leda retrieved her spear, "You're dead! Sperk!" Both Sperk and Leda put their spears together and a wave of fire and lighting blasted out. The wave engulfed Brood and set ablaze several strands of web. The attack died off and to their disarray Brood was only burnt. Leda sighed, "Figures!"

Sperk shrugged, "It was a good try!"

Brood yelled out and hundreds off small gray spiders crawled into view, "Kill them!"

Sperk and Leda stood back to back. Sperk readied his pike, "We can't kill them all!"

"At least we will die together!"

Luxor brooded on his throne as he watched the battle on Angel Island. The crystal ball provided a slightly distorted image, but clear enough to see. Both Sperk and Leda had indeed gone down with a fight. The pair had been cocooned together after destroying half of the attacking spiders. He waved his hand and the image vanished, "Damn that Robotnik. He has not only caused the death of two of my daughters, but now he has captured two of my creations." He stood up and walked onto his balcony, "There must be a way to stop him. His power doesn't exceed mine." He drummed his fingers on the guardrail and then a thought came to him, "Leda!" He walked to his crystal ball, "The girl still carries a small portion of the berserker system. If she were to transfer it over to Speed, it should transform him back to his evil form." He placed his hands onto the ball, "Once unleashed, Speed will distract Robotnik enough for me to make ready my plans." The ball started to flash black, "I won't be able to control him, but I will cross that road when I get to it."
'Release him!' Luxor's voice sounded in Leda's head.

'What? Stay out of my mind!'

'The life is slipping from you and him. Inside your heart, you have the power to free yourselves.'

'I will not condemn my husband to that darkness again. The berserker system will remain buried. Where it will do him no more harm.'

Luxor sighed, 'Then you condemn him to death. At this moment, he is using his very life energy to protect you. Soon he will die.'

'Either way I lose him!'

'Will it Leda! Give him the system so he can save you both.' Luxor's voice vanished.

Leda managed to open her eyes and found herself in Sperk's arms. The cocoon that they were wrapped in glowed a faint green color. Sperk's eyes were closed and small bolts of energy shot from him and into the cocoon. It was indeed draining his energy. Leda placed her head on his chest and even through the armor found his heart beat slowing down. She carefully raised herself up to his face, "What should I do?" She nuzzled his cheek and his skin felt slightly cold, "Please forgive me!" She kissed him and a small charge of crimson energy left her lips and into Sperk's. She burred her face into his neck as his heartbeat started to speed up. After a few moments, Sperk's eyes opened and glowed crimson.

Brood woke up and stood up, "I can't detect Sperk's energy anymore." She quickly left the chamber and climbed to the cocoon at the edge of the city. She carefully looked at it with all of her eyes, "Looks fine!" She reached out to touch it, but it suddenly burst open and Sperk dropped to the ground. His fur and quills all glowed with crimson energy. He clutched Leda in his arms as his eyes locked onto the mutant. Brood gulped slightly at the sight, "What are you?"

Sperk silently walked over to a tree and laid Leda down. His armor vanished and he turned toward Brood. The gauntlet on his arm had changed to a darker metal and the gem flashed with red light. He held it up, "Armor of Darkness!" Sperk exploded in red light and when the light died down he was in black armor with red orbs on the arms, legs, and one on the chest plate. A halberd was held in his hands, "I am Sperk, the Knight of Darkness!"

Brood summoned a swarm of spiders, "Call yourself whatever you want! Kill him my children."

The spider's reared up and began to rush at the crimson hedgehog. Sperk smirked, "Pathetic Scum!" He swung his halberd's blade across the ground and crimson energy ripped apart the ground and killed the spiders.

"My Babies!" Brood threw herself at Sperk, "I will rip you apart for what you have done."

"The you shouldn't send them into battle if you dislike their deaths." Sperk vanished in a burst of crimson light. Brood stopped and looked around. Sperk jumped out of the trees and tired to land on Brood's large abdomen. She spun around and knocked him away. Sperk spun in mid air and landed on his feet, "Fast for a bloated spider."

"I will kill you! Regardless what master Robotnik says."

Sperk chuckled, "I would give you a message for your master, but I grow tired of you." He ran at her, "I think I will just kill you." Brood spat her sticky web at him, but he sliced through it. He dismissed his halberd and curled into a ball. He blasted off the ground and hit Brood right in the face. He uncurled and summoned his weapon. He landed on her abdomen and rammed the blade into it. Crimson energy shot from the halberd and into Brood. She yelled out as Sperk jumped off, "Fear not! Your master will join you soon." The orbs on his arm glowed red, "Chaos Blitzberg!" The orbs erupted with red light and several bolts of energy shot from each one and hit Brood. Sperk landed and his halberd flew into his hands. Brood fell to the ground and exploded in a blast of red light. Sperk laughed, "Pathetic!" He looked over his weapon and armor, "This is nice! The Sword of Chaos maybe lost, but this is a suitable replacement." He dismissed his halberd, "Now to claim The Master Emerald and eradicate this planet."

"Speed!" Leda had woken up and now leaned on the tree.

Sperk eyes flashed crimson and he shook his head, "What?"

She walked up to him slowly and dismissed her armor, "Speed!"

Sperk smiled, "Fine! I won't blow the planet it up." Leda smiled and went to hug him. Sperk just managed to dismiss his armor as she reached him. He held her tightly; "I will always protect you."

"And I will always be by your side."

"Guess you want me to free everyone."

"It would be nice."

"Very well!"
