(Sorry I haven't updated in a while but I was not all that well and had issues with my depression. Hopefully things have once again settled down and I can concentrate on writing my story's. So here is the next chapter for you to read and enjoy...)
Chapter eighteen
One by one they walked out of the portal and stood together, with the portal fizzing shut when all were out. They were standing on the roof of a very tall building but luckily not very close to the edge.
"This city is huge!" Sonic said loudly as he, and everyone else, looked out into the distance and saw nothing but different length buildings for miles and miles.
"Yes how very observant you are and thank you so much for telling us this for we all cannot see that obvious fact." Shadow sarcastically said as he had to flatten his ears just to prevent the loud voice of his boyfriend from deafening him.
He would have covered his ear with his hands but didn't due to holding Angel securely within them.
"Exactly how are we getting down from here?" Silver asked as he walked forward a little and looked down.
"Oh crap we are super high up." Silver added with a little fear in his tone then walked backwards away from the very edge.
"If you all look behind us there is a door leading to the staircase. We can get down that way but a warning, this city is no ordinary city and is run by a guy that encourages crime. We zone cops tend to avoid this place as much as possible but Zhadow usually jumps at the chance in coming here so we should be fine." Zonic said with a slightly serious tone as he watched all turn and look at him.
"And why do you like coming here Zhadow?" Knuckles asked as they all began to make a move towards the closed door that led to the buildings staircase.
"He's probably a secret dealer or second in command here." Sonic jokingly said with a laugh.
"Nah he provides weaponry to gangs then stands back and watches the fighting." Silver joked along as they all began to go down the stairs.
"Actually I come here to see this worlds Sonic and occasionally get laid." Zhadow casually said with a grin.
"What!" Zonic shouted with a look of horror under his helmet and stopped walking half way down a set of stairs.
"I'm kidding Zonic." Zhadows said as he laughed from the reaction he was after.
"Aw was someone getting jealous?" Sonic teased as they all stopped and looked up at Zonic, all able to see a blush forming on his muzzle.
"Oh shut the hell up and lets keep going." Zonic seriously said then began to walk once more, barging passed all lightly and now taking the lead.
"So why do you come here?" Shadow asked causally while all started to go down, now almost half way towards the ground floor.
"I come here because I come here." Zhadow said with a small frown, not wanting to share the reason why.
"Yep he totally deals on the sly." Sonic joked while laughing.
"Oh fine, I come here for the excitement and the odd job." Zhadow groaned with a roll of his eyes as he told them the real reason.
Eventually they reached the bottom of the stair case and left through the exit door that led to an alley way between buildings. They were about to walk towards the street when a gunshot echoed and a can was hit, making it go up in the air then land with a clang onto the floor. That can was right beside the group and the bullet came flying from behind them which indicated that whoever fired was standing right behind the group.
"You were told to never come back here Zhadow!" An angry voice filled the alleyway making all turn and face the guy, who was with three others and all were wolves.
"Hey Jack, Darren, Blake how's it going?" Zhadow casually said with a grin.
"Erm Zhadow I'm getting the feeling he doesn't want to be all friendly and casual here." Sonic said with some concern as all were now pointing loaded guns their way.
"Actually I was told to not come back to base ever again, no one said I couldn't come back to this zone." Zhadows factually said with a smug look behind his helmet.
"Yep I can definitely believe you come here for excitement now." Zonic muttered under his breath as he kept eyes on the wolves and their guns.
"Oh my chaos Zhadow what the hell did you do to upset them?" Knuckles asked as he was very uncomfortable with guns pointing at him by people who will fire.
"I didn't do anything and they know it. Not my fault their boss' daughter took a liking to me and tried to organise a damn wedding with me all without my knowledge. I wasn't going to stand for that and I had words with her, that is all." Zhadow said with some frustration in his voice as he explained what happened and why he was basically on bad terms with the wolf pack.
"Had words with her, you damn well hurt her feelings with what you said to her." Darren said with bitterness in his voice.
"Alls I said to her was I wasn't the right guy for her and she shouldn't be so quick to marry someone she barely knew. I could have so very easily said something nasty and hurtful but I didn't. I tried to be as nice as it was possible when rejection someone who somehow loves you and you don't love them back." Zhadows defended himself with a shrug of indifference.
"Sounds reasonable to me." Sonic muttered under his breath and chose to not say that out loud in case it provoked a shooting.
"I would say that is a nice way to reject someone and if she took it badly then that is on her." Shadow said with a small frown as he did his best to keep Angel shielded from possible bullets that my get fired in her direction.
"And who the hell are you to…no wait you look a lot like Zhadows. Yeah you must be brothers or something. Anna wouldn't know the difference so you can go to her, apologise and marry her instead. That will make the boss very happy and Anna too." Blake said with a devious grin at Shadow.
"Pass." Shadow dryly said with no interest in marrying some girl, that and he was with Sonic.
"You don't have a choice and you are coming with us back to base." Jack said and was grinning widely at Shadow.
"Hey you cannot make my boyfriend do anything he doesn't want to do." Sonic seriously said with anger in his voice.
"Take aim boys." Jack said with a sinister tone while locking eyes with Sonic.
"Maybe we should all just calm down, I am sure we can talk this out." Silver said with a nervous tone and holding his hands out in a defensive manner.
"That Zhadow look-a-like is coming with us and you all are going to die." Darren said as he moved his gun and pointed it at Sonic.
"It's Shadow not Zhadows look-a-like thank you very much." Shadow said with a deep frown and was really starting to get annoyed.
"Correction you are now Zhadow." Jack said as he moved his eyes to look back at Shadow.
"Correction-correction, it is Shadow. chaos spear!" Shadow said then threw a bolt of chaos energy at the wolves feet, making them cry out and step backwards.
"We leave right now." Shadow said as he quickly got his chaos emerald out.
"Agreed, if any one is going to marry you it is me." Sonic replied as he got his out.
"Fire!" Jack shouted then guns went off as Sonic and Shadow made that portal.
"Ah I don't want to die!" Silver cried out as a bullet just missed him as he made an exit to the portal.
"Quickly, get in!" Zonic seriously said as he grabbed Zhadows and ran inside the portal while dragging his colleague along.
"Don't let that Zhadow look-a-like get away!" Jack said as they all began to run forwards when Knuckles rushed into the portal.
"I told you my name is…" Shadow growled with anger as he glared at the three very quickly getting closer while firing at Sonic, who was very lucky they were very bad shots.
"Not now love we need to go." Sonic said as he grabbed Shadows arm and dragged him with him through the portal.
The portal slammed shut seconds after and the three wolves skidded to a stop.
"Search this entire area, they have to be somewhere around." Jack seriously said as he looked at his fellow gang members then they all split up.
