"Oh fudge!" Shadow said, quickly getting to his feet. "How'd she get away from Tails?! He's weaker than I thought!" Turbo rolled her eyes and replied.
"There's got to be a way to convince this little ditz that I'm not Sonic! But how?" Little did either of the two know that she was slowly shifting to a different shape, taking on a chameleon appearance, similar to Espio, only blue instead of purple, and with a silver horn. Suddenly Shadow noticed this and asked.
"Hey! How'd you change to a chameleon? Sonic can't do that!" Turbo considered this a while, then replied with a dawning realization.
"Because, I'm not from this world. I must be able to shift between appearances! If I'm correct, I could even wind up looking like you! Or somebody else! Hah, this is perfect!" Shadow nodded, just as Amy Rose came around the corner.
"Where's Sonic Shadow?" She asked, looking from the black and red hedgehog to Turbo and back again.
"Well ditzy," Shadow replied, raising an eyebrow. "Maybe he's still captured?" Amy huffed angrily and snapped.
"But I saw him! I know I did! I'll prove it! I'll find him again!" And with that she stormed off. As soon as she was out of earshot, Shadow burst out laughing.
"Good grief," He snickered. "She's seriously bent on finding him here isn't she?" Turbo giggled a little and nodded.
"Yeah, but I'm surprised she didn't comment about me now." Shadow shrugged.
"Well, I've always thought that underneath that pink, is blonde. I'm probably right." Turbo laughed, unaware that she'd just shifted again, this time looking very similar to Knuckles, only she was peachy in color rather than red, and she was still wearing a white tank top and blue jeans. Shadow raised an eyebrow.
"You know," He said, smirking a little. "I know this sounds stupid, but you look pretty good as an echidna." Turbo smiled, but just then, Tails ran over.
"Shadow! Kn…What? Who's that?" He was watching Turbo with curiosity. Shadow laughed.
"That'd be Turbo. She's got the ability to morph shapes, to any Anthro she wants. Anyway, what are we going to do about Sonic now? I mean, now that we've got Turbo, we've got to be able to get Sonic back. And tie one heck of a whooping on Eggman in the process!" Tails nodded, as well as Turbo.
"Sounds like a plan." Turbo said, grinning as she morphed into an almost exact image of Shadow, save for her streaks were copper colored. "Where do we find him?" Tails laughed when he saw Turbo do that, and replied.
"Well, he's in the city somewhere, but that's all we really know." Shadow nodded, looking at Turbo, then back at Tails, and then doing a very fast double take.
"What the…Oh man, this is going to be hard to get used to." He said, an eyebrow rising slightly as he looked at Turbo. Turbo laughed, and shifted into her Sonic form again.
"Now then, where do we begin? There has to be a way to gather information." Shadow and Tails just looked at Turbo. "Oh, I get it. That'd be me getting the info." Tails nodded, as did Shadow. But after a pause, Shadow said something that almost made Tails fall over with shock.
"I'll go with her. Safety reasons." Turbo smiled at him, shifting to look like Amy, only her "hair" was blonde instead of hot pink. Shadow smirked and Tails burst out laughing. "Now that's what Amy should look like." Shadow said with a cheeky grin. This made Tails laugh harder. Turbo smiled and shifted again, this time looking like Sonic, only darker blue, with yellow eyes, dreadlocks instead of spikes on her head, and silvery streaks on the spikes on her back.
"Man that looks cool Turbo!" Tails piped happily. Turbo, however, had a slight frown.
"I was actually trying to shift back to my human form, just to see if I could. Looks like I'm a natural Anthro now though huh?" Tails nodded, his smile still there. Shadow, however, said impatiently.
"Ok, are we going to gather information or not?" Turbo looked at him with a slightly sheepish look and nodded.
"Right. Let's get going. Hopefully this'll be easier than it sounds." And with that, and good luck wishes from Tails, the pair set off, deciding that the city would be their best bet for gathering information.
"We'll take vehicles, that way we'll get there sooner." He got on his motorbike, waiting patiently for Turbo to get her own ride. However, she didn't know how to drive a motorbike, or something else like that, but she did find something she could use: a hover board, created special by Tails. She didn't know how, but some how Turbo knew how to turn it on, and use it. Shadow just watched her as she got it fired up, geared up with the knee and elbow pads, and hovered beside him.
"Ready when you are." She said with a grin. Shadow nodded, revved his engine, and took off down the road. Turbo smirked and shot off after him, soon right along side his bike. She hadn't had this much fun in her life, and was about to say this was fun, when there was the sound of metal scraping against metal ahead of them. Shadow muttered something angrily and pulled from a hidden compartment, a fully loaded pistol. This he quickly threw to Turbo, who caught it easily and prepared to fire at whatever was making that noise. Shadow slowed his bike down, pulling out another pistol similar to the one he'd thrown to Turbo.
"Great." He said with agitation as four or five large robots came down the road towards them. "Hope you have good aim Turbo because these buckets of scrap metal are hard to kill." He raised his gun, and fired, hitting one dead center in one of its eyes. It started sparking and slowed down, finally exploding with a bang like a cannon going off. Turbo grinned. She felt like this was now a competition so see who could have the best shot.
"You call that a shot?" She asked cheekily, raising her pistol and shooting one between two armour plates, straight into a major reactor, blowing it up on impact. Shadow raised an eyebrow, obviously surprised and amused at her aim. The robots started firing darts and bullets at the two Anthros, making them duck and dodge to avoid getting hit. There were only two droids left now, but one of the remaining two had a very large weapon mounted on its shoulder, which it fired. Before Shadow or Turbo could react, a harpoon connected to a retractable wire shot forwards, a claw protruding from the end. "SHADOW LOOK OUT!" Turbo shouted, but it was too late. The harpoon's claw clasped tightly around Shadow's midsection, pinning his arms to his side and knocking him off the bike and to the ground.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" Shadow shouted, struggling to get to his feet as the harpoon was being pulled in. "GET OUT OF HERE AND TELL THE OTHERS!" Turbo, however, started firing at the cable, hoping to break it, but her shots didn't affect it. Her bullets didn't even pierce the armor on the robot that was reeling Shadow in either. Soon the black and red hedgehog was within reach of the droids, and he was lifted into the air because of the cable being pulled back to the launcher. "TURBO GET OUT OF HERE DARNIT!" But before Shadow could say more, he was knocked out by the robot. The two droids quickly took off , the larger one carrying Shadow by the harpoon. They were going to fast for Turbo to catch up, and one of the bullets had broken the hover board so she couldn't use it.
"Dang it!" Turbo yelled angrily. She looked at the broken hover board and picked it up, looking at it carefully. The speed dial was broken, and now the only speed besides off that it had was slow. "I'm never going to catch them with this!" She snarled, glaring angrily at the two droids, which were now just dots on the horizon. She strapped the board to her back and, taking a deep breath, climbed onto Shadow's motorbike, turning it around sharply and driving back to the base, surprised that she could actually drive it.
