Chapter 2: Hypno Sonic
"So Shadow, where are we heading?" Knuckles asked Shadow while he was piloting the transport.
"Station Square." Shadow answered quickly and softly.
"Why?"
"There have been sightings of a blue hedgehog stealing things. That's gotta be the brainwashed Sonic."
"We can find him and figure out where Eggman's base is!" Knuckles exclaimed. "Great plan!"
They continued flying the transport for a few hours until Shadow said "We're arriving in Station Square now."
Shadow landed the transport on a landing pad and they jumped off the small building it was on.
"Where should we start looking?" Knux asked Shadow.
Before Shadow could answer a wall blew open and there stood the brainwashed Sonic. The only physical difference was that the hypnotized Sonic had red eyes.
"Sonic!" Knux screamed. "Don't be evil! Fight the hypnosis that Eggman put on you!"
"Surrender or be destroyed!" Sonic screamed at both of the heroes.
"I'll enjoy this." Shadow said as he smirked and got ready for combat.
"I don't want to do this to you, Sonic. But it looks like I have to!" Knux said as he, too, got ready for combat.
Sonic ran at them and jumped into the air. He came down with a kick towards Shadow. Shadow sidestepped and punched Sonic in the face. Knux also did a one two punch at Sonic which knocked him into the hole that he made in the wall. He came back out and ran at Knux. Knuckles jumped on top of the building and Sonic followed.
"Give up, echidna!" Sonic screamed.
"Never!" Knux screamed back.
Sonic jumped at Knuckles and punched him in the face. He kicked him in the chin and roundhouse kicked him off the building on the opposite side of Shadow.
Sonic jumped off the building at Shadow and punched and kicked at him. Shadow dodged and jumped way back. "Chaos Spear!"
Shadow shot the chaos energy at Sonic. It hit him and knocked him through the building all the way to the other side. Knux tried to punch him but he spin dashed into Knux's head which knocked him out.
"Let's finish this, Shadow!" Sonic said running at him.
Shadow ran at Sonic when they were both at the edge of the building they did a flying kick at each other. They both collided and blood drew on both of them.
"You are good, Shadow. But I am better. Much, much better."
Sonic ran at Shadow and jumped high into the air and came down. Shadow jumped up to stop him but to Shadow's surprise Sonic teleported under him and kicked him on top of the building.
"How… how did you do that?" Shadow asked Sonic with blood pouring.
Sonic didn't answer but pulled out a chaos emerald.
"Aha! That's it! So you have a Chaos emerald, huh? Chaos powers vs. chaos powers. Chaos Blast!"
Shadow shot the blast but it collided with a chaos blast that Sonic unleashed from the emerald. Their blasts struggled with each other until the blasts exploded hitting Sonic, Shadow, and their surroundings.
Shadow got up from the debris before Sonic and used a Chaos spear in hopes of destroying Sonic now. Sonic used Chaos control to get behind Shadow and blast him using his own Chaos spear.
"I'll destroy you, Shadow!" Sonic screamed as he ran at Shadow.
Shadow ran at Sonic too and they both homing attack each other continuously and kept getting higher and higher into the air. They were really high in the air when Sonic finally caught Shadow unprepared and hit him when he wasn't homing in on Sonic. Shadow fell to the ground. But then Sonic realized that he was also falling.
"You've doomed both of us, Sonic!" Shadow screamed as he and Sonic were falling to their death.
Right before Shadow hit the ground he was caught… by Knuckles. Sonic wasn't so lucky and he hit the ground hard.
"Sonic!" Knuckles screamed in fear. "I didn't want this to happen to Sonic."
Just then Sonic got back up.
"What? Impossible!" Shadow exclaimed.
"Hahahahahahah!" Sonic cackled. "This body can sustain a lot of damage before it is destroyed thanks to the training offered by Dr. Eggman. You will both now be destroyed."
"Give up, Sonic! It's two against one! There is no way you can win!" Knux said with a fist.
"Foolish echidna! You will be destroyed."
Sonic homing attacked Knux and tried to do it to Shadow but Shadow dodged and countered with a punch. Sonic dodged this but not Knuckles' kick to his face. Shadow then Chaos blasted Sonic and Knux spin kicked him in to the air. Sonic landed in pain. This time Sonic didn't get up but he was still conscious.
"Tell us where Eggman's base is!" Shadow demanded.
"I don't… know." Sonic said barely conscious.
"Yes you do! Now tell us!" Knux demanded.
"I… am telling… the truth. Tails… knows." Sonic told them.
"Where is Tails?" Shadow interrogated.
"He is in… Mystic… Ruins." Sonic finished right as he lost consciousness.
"Damn!" Shadow yelled. "We have to find Tails now."
To be continued.
