I forgot to mention that I got Grammarly to help me with the grammar. Is it better? It helps but the problem is that the program always bugs and always gives me an "Unresponsive script" and it ALWAYS happens. So fuck Grammarly. Anyways, hope you enjoy.
The four hedgehogs and the German Shepard arrived at a city outside of Green Hill Zone. The streets were busy with humans, the stores were packed, the lights were bright that you can barely see the stars in the night sky. Lucky saw a woman walking her 9-month-old Pitbull and the puppy was about to go to the other dog but something lifted him up by the collar.
"Now hold on, I need to put the leash on first," Shadow said to his dog. The German Shepard gave his owner an annoyed look.
"I know that you're a G.U.N dog but you still need to be on a leash. It's the law." The old agent said while getting the leash from the backpack. As he does that, Lucky quietly barks that sounds like he's copying "It's the law"
"You're lucky that I don't understand you," Shadow said and put his dog on the leash. As they were walking, Sonic noticed that Konton was behind them.
"What's wrong?" The blue blur asked his dark self.
"It just that...I'm not very conformable around so many people. When I was invisible, I could easily fly over the city without being seen. But now that isn't the case." Konton explained with his hands in his jacket pockets.
"Don't worry, we'll go to stay in a hotel for the night. Just don't freak out or something." Sonic said with a thumbs up.
"Right." But when they continue walking, some of the people were staring at Konton's disguise. Heck, the police asked him questions about him. But luckily they let him go after answering the questions correctly.
"What did the police told you?" Silver asked.
"They said if I was this hedgehog named Scourge. But since I have a different voice and I told my real name, they let me go." Konton explained.
"Who is this Scourge guy?" The blue hero asked.
"About 4 years ago, a blue hedgehog that looked like you but evil and with a normal cat. He came from another dimension and came here to seek power, the Master Emerald. He managed to get some of Master Emerald's power but Knuckles and I stopped him. G.U.N arrested him shortly after and stayed there ever since." The old agent explained.
"After he got some of the Master Emerald's power, his body changed that looks like Konton's disguise." Silver explained.
"So this Scourge guy is a faker!" Sonic shouted.
"As long as the Military doesn't confuse me with you again," Shadow commented.
"You two were confused by the Military?" The time traveler asked.
"Back then I was working with Eggman to get my memories back. It's a long story so I'll tell you later."
"It's weird that you were my enemy back then. And you used to hate me before we saved the timeline. Man things changed." Sonic said with his arm on Shadow's shoulder with a smirk.
"If we were still enemies, I would have punched you in the face by touching me." The black hedgehog commented. Sonic got his arm off of Shadow's shoulder with a chuckle. The blue blur spotted a bar that had the sign "No one under 21"
"You know you can't get in there, right?" The old ultimate life form asked.
"Oh come on I'm," Counting using his fingers "25 in the future. That's old enough, right?" Sonic said with a smirk.
"You barely hit puberty, I don't think you're old enough to drink," Shadow commented.
"The puberty part is private but I don't think the owners would know my real age." The blue hero walked through the entrance but a force pushed him away.
"What the heck?"
"The entrance had a scanner to see if you're 21 or not. If you're over 21, a force field stops you to going in. Interesting isn't it?" Silver explained.
"Ah man, I want to know how alcohol tastes like."
"Don't worry kid, wait in 6 years." The agent said rubbing on Sonic's head like a dog.
"But 6 years is so long to wait." The blue hero commented with his cheeks puffed up.
"It'll go by fast that you won't notice," Konton advised and Lucky barked in agreement then licked the blue hedgehog's face.
"Ya, you're right. After all, I came to the future to know what it'll be." Sonic commented. They soon reached a hotel to stay for the night. The team got to their room to have two beds, a couch, one bathroom, a flat screen T.V and a deck. The wallpaper is light blue and has a pattern that looks like ocean waves.
"Not too bad. I'll take the couch." Sonic announced then jumped to the couch.
"Hey, Konton, where will you sleep? It seems that they're no more beds." Older Silver commented.
"What is thing called sleep?" The dark side asked with his hand on his chin.
"Sleeping is when you close your eyes for a few hours after a long day." The silver hedgehog explained to the dark hedgehog.
"I tried that before but all I could see was darkness," Konton said with a shrug.
"It takes a while to dream," Shadow assured.
"I was born and lived in darkness and emptiness for all of my life. I have to feed the wolverines every single day so Sonic wouldn't hear negative thoughts. I don't want to go back to that again anytime soon." The dark hedgehog explained with his arms crossed.
"That's a good point. I didn't want to be in that void for that long and I was there for 10 minutes." Sonic said while turning on the T.V.
"Void? I thought that Konton was in your mind. How did you get in there?" Silver asked while he scratches his head out of confusion. Nicole came out of her watch body
"After Shadow died during the timeline mission, it appeared that Konton made Sonic into a small coma. His plan was to kill Sonic and take over his body." The lynx explained. Both Shadow and Silver had widened eyes.
"Holy shit." Both of them said at the same time.
"Told you that it was different back then," Konton said while rubbing the back of is neck. The hero turned on the news
"These mysterious creatures have appeared around the world that range to bears to eagles. In other news, the hero that was thought was dead for 10 years appeared when these creatures were destroying Station Square." Then they showed the fight scene between Sonic, Shadow, and Silver fighting the bear.
"So these creatures appeared when I got to the future? What do you think it means?" The blue hero asked.
"Well, I did hear that Jikan-Tori had minions to hunt down the person who went to the future. So maybe those monsters are trying to find you while Jikan-Tori going to break out." Silver explained.
"Again, why does every monster tries to kill me?" Sonic murmured.
"Those creatures oddly looks like the wolverines. But looks like they haven't been fed for so long." The dark side of the hero said.
"Now you mention it if you haven't feed them then how come I can't hear any voices in my head?" Sonic asked.
"If your dark side got then, it would make sense if your negative thoughts came out too." Shadow guessed.
"Hey, Konton, what happens if you don't feed the wolverines?" The hero asked with sweat forming on his forehead.
"Your positive thoughts don't need to feed but with the negative, they'll turn into those monsters." The dark side pointed to the T.V. where it shows the three hedgehogs defeating the bear with the three spin dash attack.
"Oh...Great." Sonic said with a shaky voice.
"I think the best thing to do right now is to sleep. We had a long day, we're all tired so let's rest to get our energy back till morning." Nicole explained to everyone.
"Ya, you're right." Silver said before yawning. Later, Sonic fell asleep on the couch while the T.V was still on. Both Shadow and Silver falls asleep in their beds while Lucky is sleeping on the floor. Nicole was about to go back to her watch home but she saw Konton going out in his disguise form.
"Where are you going?" The lynx asked.
"Don't worry about me, I'm just going out to pass the time," Konton explained to the watch.
"I know you don't need to sleep but it might be dangerous to go out alone at night," Nicole said with concern. Without a word, the dark hedgehog picked the watch up from the ground.
"How about you join me?" He asked with a smirk. Nicole looked at the sleeping hedgehogs then back to Konton.
"Well...Only for a few hours but you need to be careful." The lynx said with a smile. Both of them went out the front door then went to the streets. As they were walking, three Mobians were watching them from an alley.
"Is that Scourge?" One of them asked with a high pitch voice.
"Of course not. He wouldn't go out in the opening like that. And besides, he always has that cat around." One of them said with a deep voice.
"I bet that guy is a doubleganger. Let's get the real one." One of the Mobians said with a low voice. The three Mobians walked away.
"So Nicole, who made you?" Konton asked.
"I was giving by Silver's mentor, Mammoth Mogul. He gave Silver to me because he thinks that Silver will be reckless on his own." The lynx explained.
"Well, Silver isn't reckless like he used to." The dark hedgehog commented.
"Yes, time has changed." She said before looking at the stars in the dark sky.
"Indeed. I still can't believe the timeline mission was a year or in this case 10 years ago." Konton commented with his hands in his jacket pockets.
"I have a question, why did you pick that form?" Nicole asked.
"I saw a hedgehog in a newspaper so I decided to pick this form." He answered her question.
"What if the real one is around here and sees you?" Nicole asked while looking around the area.
"I don't think that'll happen. After all, he's in prison so he can't be here."
"I guess you're right about that. Besides, records show that there's no one breaking out of prison for 10 years."
"That's good. People like them should be locked up." Konton said bitterly. The lynx nodded in agreement. Now they were in a park and then sit on a bench. Both of them watched the sky for a few minutes.
"Hey, Nicole, can I ask you a question?" The dark hedgehog asked.
"Sure, what is it?" Nicole asked with a smile. Konton sighed before asking the question
"Why do bad things happen to good people?" The female lynx was slightly taken back on the question. She thought about the question for a few moments for the answer.
"Well, there's no defined answer. But one of the theories is that kind people are very easily be tricked and controlled without a complaint." Konton sighed again
"I asked that question because when I was invisible, I was watching over this two girls who were dating. They were cute together and felt like they should be together forever. But when I saw one of them alone while crying. I found out that her girlfriend wanted to break up out of nowhere. The other one wanted to change her girlfriend's mind but it didn't work. Is life like that? Being happy for a second then get destroyed the next second?" He asked as he leans back on the bench and staring at the starry sky.
"I know I'm a robot and don't really have a real life. But I know that life is more than misery and suffering. There's happiness, excitement, and love in life. I know that there will be something that will destroy you, but you gotta to move that away to enjoy what's left." Nicole said to the dark hedgehog. Konton looked at the lynx.
"Are you sure?" He asked and Nicole nodded. Konton smiled
"You're right. I've only started a life for two days so far, why should I judge it without trying?" Both of them continue to watch the sky almost all night.
"Where on Mobius am I?" Shadow thought to only see darkness. He tried to move but he felt like he was stuck to a chair and his arms were tied down.
"Why does this feel...Familiar?" The agent tried to speak but he couldn't. He ground his teeth to feel cloth in his mouth. His eyes widened, realized what's happening.
"No, no, no, NO! Not again! Please!" Shadow tries to get out but the restraints held him down. He breaths heavily even with the cloth in his mouth.
"Hello, old friend." Shadow froze, he still recognizes that voice even after 3 years. He tried to scream for help but with the cloth in his mouth, he only let out a muffled scream. The person chuckled
"I see that you remember me after these three years. Now, I won't hurt you right now. I'm just here to know that you're never safe. I will come back any moment in your life." Shadow then felt a hand on his right shoulder.
"You're lucky that you half Black Arms then you would have been half-blind. But next time, you won't be living even with your family." Shadow shivered when he felt a blade on his throat. He then screamed then he felt his throat cut opened.
Shadow quickly rose up from his pillows as he breaths heavily with his hands gripping his throat. He looked around to see that he was still in the hotel and Silver, Sonic, and Lucky sleeping.
"It was all a dream. But why did it felt so real?" He whispered. The agent got out of his bed, grabbed his G.U.N jacket before going to the desk outside. Lucky's ears perked up when he heard the glass door opening. He rose his head to see his owner going to the deck. Shadow pulled out a cigarette and a lighter. He lights the cigarette with the lighter then puff a smoke. Shadow only smokes when he's stressed which wasn't common. If he can fight a monster that could destroy every week, even he could fight the addiction of cigarettes. He rested his arms on the guard rails on the desk as he watches the lighted city at 3am. His ears perked when he heard a whine and looked down to see Lucky, looking at him with worried eyes.
"It's nothing to worry about. It was just a nightmare." Shadow said to his dog. Lucky raised a brow at that.
"It's the truth," Shadow assured. The German Shepard looked at the lit cigarette.
"I just felt like smoking, that's all." Lucky tilted his head a little with his eyes half-closed. The agent rolled his eyes
"I had the dream that was a memory of three years ago. The reason I had a silver left eye because I was kidnapped by a person. Tortured me for three days and slashed my left eye and left me to bleed to death. If I wasn't half Black arms, then I would have been half-blind. I can't believe that I'm grateful for being a hybrid for once." Shadow admitted before putting his ungloved hand over his silver left eye. He felt something brushing against his leg. He looked down to see Lucky rubbing his head on Shadow's leg with worried eyes. The ultimate life form sat down on the ground and petting his dog.
"Don't worry about it. That guy can't get me cause I'm stronger than before. And besides, I have a guard dog with me." Lucky's ears went up in excitement, jumping around.
"Alright, alright let's not wake up Sonic and Silver. But you got to know that you can't fight every battle alone. We'll protect each other, do we got a deal?" Shadow asked with a smile. The German Shepard nodded in agreement with his paw up for a shake. The agent shook the paw in agreement.
~Meanwhile at Prison Island~
It was almost 4 in the morning, everything in the prison was deadly quiet...Well almost.
"Oh, shiny keys!" A high pitch voice said while shaking keys.
"Gimme that, Bean! Do you want us to get caught?!" A whispering low voice asked before grabbing the keys. 3 Mobians slowly comes out of the darkness to the hallways. One of them was a light purple weasel, blue eyes, wears brown gloves, brown boots and have a belt around his waist. The second one was a green bird, blue eyes with red sunglasses, yellow beak, a red bandanna, wears white gloves and red shoes. The third one was a big yellow polar bear with blue eyes, wears a green scarf, yellow mittens, black and yellow boots and a red hat.
"But it's shiny!" Bean said with his cheeks puffed up in anger.
"We're on a mission, remember?! Is the coast clear, Bark?" The weasel asked the polar bear. Bark looked around before nodding.
"Okay good. Now, the map says that Scourge is in one of these cages." The purple weasel said while looking at a map.
"Which one, Nack? These cells only show the doors." The green bird informed.
"All we know that this Scourge guy has a cat so there must be a small door to feed it." Nack saw a cell with a big door and on the bottom was a small latch. The weasel went down and opened the latch. All he can see was darkness but then he heard a hiss and a white paw with sharp claws slashing the door. Nack jumped into Bark's arms out of fear
"Yep, he's in there." The weasel confirmed.
"Who's there?" A rough and deep voice in the cell asked. The weasel jumped off of the polar bear's arm and cleared his voice.
"We're here to break you out of this cell."
"And why?" The prisoner asked.
"Our boss wants you to work beside him and us. Since you have the Master Emerald's energy inside of you, you can defeat our enemies in a sweep!" Bean said with excitement.
"What's in it for us?" Scourge the hedgehog asked and they heard a hiss of a cat.
"One of our enemies are Shadow the hedgehog." Inside the pitch-black cell, the prisoner smirks
"Shadow the hedgehog. Alright, we're in." Scourge agreed.
"Good, now step back." The green bird pulled out a bomb and set it right next to the door. Three of the Mobians ran out and stopped when they heard an explosion and a metal door slamming. The first thing to come out was a black cat with a right white paw and white on the tip of his long tail. The cat had blue eyes and around his neck was a red collar with spikes around it. Then a hedgehog came out, he looks like Konton's disguise but without the jacket and has a metal collar around his neck. Scourge covered his eyes with his gloved hand.
"Shit, why is it so dark?" Scourge asked. Nack took the sunglasses from Bean
"Hey!" Bean shouted. The weasel gave the sunglasses to the green prisoner.
"Aww, much better. What do you think, Crimson?" He asked his cat. Crimson nodded with a purr. They all turned when they heard footsteps and saw about 10 soldiers with their guns pointing to them.
"Freeze!"
"Put your hands up or we'll shoot!" The soldiers warned. Scourge walked two steps ahead
"Then pull the trigger." With another step, one of the soldiers shot Scourge at the neck and made him hold on his neck.
"Oh no! We failed!" Bean shouted. Crimson hissed at the soldiers but stopped when he heard Scourge laughing. The green hedgehog took out the now broken collar and threw it to the metal floor.
"Four years of being captured was a pain in the ass. But this will be a treat." Scourge said with a wide smile before his eyes turned black and his pupils turned red.
I hope you enjoy this longer chapter. Sorry that this took long. I was busy moving and on July 15th was my birthday. I'm still depressed but I'm getting better. Any Warrior cats fans out there? Yes, Crimson was inspired by Scourge from the books. I think it'll be cool if these two characters with the same names were together. Anyways, have a good day/night ^-^
