Sonic Adventure 2 Redux
Trust me on this, people. When I reveal the mystery character, he or she will be the LAST person you'd expect it to be by a LONG shot.
Chapter 2: Again? Dark Side Version.
After his speech of a future victory (last lines of SAR), Spattle looked through a list of people he'd think would pose perfectly as a servant for him. He was searching for a while when he found one that would be perfect.
"Perfect!" He pressed a button. The nearby capsule started to flash, until the person he chose was inside it.
"Huh? Where am I?"
"You are about to become my next plan for ultimate victory, BZZZT!
A/N: Bad Spattle! No revealing the character early!
"I don't want to be that!"
"I'm afraid you have no choice in the matter!" Spattle held a pair of shoes that looked like Shadow's. "Whahahaha!"
"NOOOO!"
FLASH!
"Excellent. Who are you now?"
"My name is Shadow. Since you were so kind as to release me, my master, I will grant you one wish."
"Hahaha! It worked! Your first mission is to test out your skills! Go to the G.U.N. base on Prison Island. Once there, destroy the robot codenamed "Hotshot!"
"Affirmative, master. Behold the true powers I possess!" Chaos Control
"Whahahaha!"
At the G.U.N. base…
"This is Scorpion Troops Hotshot! Enemy unit has been detected! En route to intercept and destroy!"
"Copy that."
Hotshot launched into the air, and fired a round of Volkan missiles at F. Shadow. He dodged those, and then dodged the following side missiles. Attack to the cockpit. 4 hits left.
After firing more Volkan missiles, Hotshot was charging up a laser. The crosshairs were following F. Shadow's path, and would stop at nothing to detect him. However, the laser was forced to fire, due to overcharging. The same sequence was repeated until 1 hit left.
"This is Scorpion Troops Hotshot! Enemy is stronger than expected. Request additional support!"
Hotshot flew up into the air, and stayed there, so that a circle of Laser Hunters could fall into the arena. F. Shadow jumped when the lasers fired, destroying them all with their own lasers. When Hotshot came down, F. Shadow attacked.
"He's too strong!" The Hotshot pilot uttered as Hotshot malfunctioned.
"Hmph. Pathetic humans."
Just then, Spattle appeared, and brought the Hotshot pilot more misery by crushing it with the Egg Walker.
"Destroying that guard robot was spectacular! So, Shadow, what is your next mission?"
"Bring more Chaos Emeralds."
"Exactly!"
"I'll be waiting for you...in the central control room…on the Space Colony ARK."
F. Shadow left.
At Station Square…
Rouge was flying around Station Square, in order to exercise her wings, when she got a phone call.
"Hello? Oh, hi….what? Are you serious? You want me to do what? Oh, alright. I was planning on doing that anyway." She hung up. "Now that that's settled, I think I'll pay a visit to Knuckles."
At Angel Island…
"Just let it go! You just won't give up, huh?"
"Rouge, stop it! If the Master Emerald is stolen, Angel Island will fall!"
"Well, it will if that guy over there steals it!"
"What?" Knuckles turned around. "Oh no! Spattle!"
"Mind if I borrow this for a while? Thanks, Knucklehead!"
"No, you don't!" Knuckles jumped up and shattered the Master Emerald.
"NO!" Spattle retreated.
"Great. Now I have to go and get the pieces again!"
Knuckles was about to run off, when Rouge called out:
"Knuckles, wait!"
"What, Rouge?" Rouge went up and whispered something into Knuckles' ear. "Ohhh…got it."
They went to their respective stages to get the pieces of the Master Emerald.
At the pyramid base…
"Time to check on Shadow's progress."
After taking his sweet time through the Sand Ocean, Spattle went to the abandoned pyramid base, and turned on the TV.
"We interrupt this broadcast for an important news flash. There has been a break-in at the Federal Reserve Bank today. Mysteriously, the only thing that was stolen was the Chaos Emerald held within."
"Yes! Shadow did it!"
The camera shifted to the beginning of Radical Highway, where F. Shadow was.
"According to eyewitnesses at the scene, the suspect was identified as one of the saviors of the world years ago, Shadow the Hedgehog.
"WHAT? They're not supposed to know that!"
"The suspect was seen fleeing the scene, destroying the reserve's guard robots in his path. Stay tuned for more details."
"Agh! A flaw in my plan!" Spattle used a radio transmitter to communicate with F. Shadow. "Shadow! Use the special technique!"
F. Shadow's eyes started to glow blue. "The one you seek is Sonic the Hedgehog." Suddenly, the eyes fired a blue beam at the policemen below.
"The one we seek is Sonic the Hedgehog."
"Mwahaha! Excellent work, Shadow!"
At Egg Quarters…
Beep Beep Beep
"This is Rouge. I've located the pyramid base, and will proceed to enter it now."
She sighed. "I hate to say it, but I guess I'm gonna have to find that key first."
Back at the city…
"What?"
After defeating Bigfoot, Sonic noticed F. Shadow standing atop the rubble.
"It all starts with this…a jewel containing the ultimate power…"
"That's the…Chaos Emerald! Now I see what's going on! The military has mistaken me for the likes of you! So…where do you think you're going with that emerald? Sonic ran towards F. Shadow. "Say something, you fake Shadow!"
"CHAOS CONTROL!"
F. Shadow used Chaos Control to warp past Sonic, and land on a rooftop. "My name is Shadow. I'm the world's ultimate life form. There's no time for games…FAREWELL!"
Chaos Control
"Who was that Shadow?"
At the pyramid base…
Rouge had made it to the control room at the pyramid base.
"The space transporter! If I'm correct, it should be set to…ARK! I knew it! That means that I know what's coming next!" Rouge activated the transporter.
At the central control room of the ARK…
"I've been waiting for you, doctor. Now I will reveal to you the info I have learned about the world's leading scientist, Professor Gerald Robotnik."
Spattle hopped out of his Egg Walker.
"The ARK was the first space colony created by mankind. Not many people know that the ARK contained a top-secret research facility, where weapons of mass destruction were being created. This is one of them. A weapon capable of destroying an entire planet. Codename: The Eclipse Cannon.
"Destroying an entire planet…was this my grandfather's legacy?"
"But it's been deactivated for sometime now." F. Shadow threw the Chaos Emerald from the bank into the slot. "To reactivate it…" The Eclipse Cannon reacted to the new amount of power. "Large amounts of energy are necessary."
"Yes! That's why I needed the Chaos Emerald!"
"Exactly! To reactivate the machine, we need the 7 Chaos Emeralds. Once you have that, then you have the ultimate power of destruction to use as you please. And then…the world could be yours!"
"Whahahaha! Sounds like my plan! I like the way you've learned, Shadow! I will get the Chaos Emeralds, use the machine to dominate the world, and build and build a legacy of my own!"
"Do you really think it will be that easy?" Rouge was hanging on the ceiling. She jumped down, then paused for a moment to see if Spattle would recognize her, but he didn't. "Good. I've got a great idea! How about making a deal?"
"A…deal?"
"That Master Emerald you attempted to steal, it has the power to react to the Chaos Emeralds. If you could let me borrow that radar, I might be able to help you! What do you think?"
"If I do, what's in it for me?"
"I have an idea on where the other Chaos Emeralds may be. I may not look like it, but do you know that I am a treasure hunter that specializes in all kinds of jewels?" Rouge pulled out a Chaos Emerald.
"Very well."
"Okay, then it's a deal! I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Rouge the Bat, but you can call me Rouge."
At Prison Island…
"Argh! Having to come back isn't my idea of a vacation! Are you sure that the Chaos Emeralds are here?"
"Believe what you want to believe."
"Very well then. Here's how we're going to do this. I will start by diverting the military troops towards me, allowing you to sneak into the base unnoticed. Then, Shadow will enter the armory, where he will set the timer on these dynamite packs. Once that is in place, we will blow up the whole island before anyone will know what we've done! However, Rouge will have to sneak into the Security Hall and get the Chaos Emeralds to complete this plan! Are you up to this, Rouge?"
She saluted with a wink.
"We only have 30 minutes to pull this off, and we get only one try, so don't fail me!"
After Weapons Bed…
"Excellent! Shadow's in the armory, and Rouge is collecting the Chaos Emeralds. Nothing can stop this plan!"
"Spattle!"
"What?"
It was Amy. She brandished her Piko Piko Hammer. "I'm gonna get you, you creep!"
However, Spattle knocked her hammer away with a Homing Laser. "Who's the creep?"
"Aaah!" Amy retreated, but almost fell off of the platform.
"Give up, Amy!" Spattle had cornered her and was about to finish the job when…
Tails to the rescue! "I'll take care of this!"
In Security Hall…
"I'm in position, doctor. Tell me when."
"Grrr…I've hit an unexpected snag. Rouge! How are you doing?"
"Bad! I haven't found a single Chaos Emerald!"
"What? Shadow! Set the timer for 15 minutes! Rouge! Find those emeralds!"
"Fine. I'll have 'em out in five."
After Security Hall…
Rouge ran into the safe of Security Hall, when its doors closed. She saw an all-too-familiar G.U.N. robot inside. "I can't believe I've come this far…just to fail."
"This is Flying Dog to headquarters. Intruder found entering security vault. Preparing to attack."
"Copy that."
Flying Dog is a perpetually-airborne version of Hotshot, so I'll skip to the end.
"Not bad, huh? I'm pretty strong!"
In the forest.
F. Shadow was walking, when he was called by Rouge.
"This is Rouge…I've got a small problem. I can't believe that I'm trapped in a safe with the Chaos Emeralds! ("Hmph!") I guess I won't be able to call myself a treasure hunter anymore…"
"Ah, shoot! Troublemaker!"
F. Shadow ran off towards the White Jungle. After making it to the end…
"Hey, that's…"
F. Shadow turned around. "That blue hedgehog again, of all places!"
"I found you, faker!"
"Faker? I think you're the faker around here. You're comparing yourself to me? Ha! You're not even good enough to be my fake!"
Sonic was mad. Clearly, whoever was being Shadow was programmed to say the lines exactly, so…
"I'll make you eat those words!"
F. Shadow landed on the platform. "There's no time to play games! You won't even get the chance!"
"You won't get away this time! There's only one real Shadow!"
F. Shadow jumped into the air, preparing a Homing Attack. Sonic jumped in order to shield himself from the attack, and then attacked right when F. Shadow landed. 2 hits left.
"Kuu…I'm the strongest!"
F. Shadow ran around for a while before attacking. Whenever Sonic attempted to attack, F. Shadow would just shield it off. When he finally attacked. Sonic repeated his action. 1 hit left.
"Oh, I see. So you're not just a hedgehog!"
Soon, Sonic scored the last hit, but something weird happened. 2 lights appeared on the end of F. Shadow's shoes. One of those lights turned off. All this happened while F. Shadow was getting hurt by an electric shock.
"Darn…not bad for an imposter…"
"Look who's talking!"
Suddenly, F. Shadow sprung back into action, and stared menacingly at Sonic. Sonic returned it. Then Spattle called.
"Shadow! What are you doing! Hurry and get back here right now before the island blows up with you on it!"
"Blows up?"
F. Shadow retreated. He landed inside the safe Rouge was in. He picked up an emerald and…
"CHAOS CONTROL!"
FLASH!
KABOOM!
Chapter 2 End
Sorry it took so long!
