Shadow's family reunion

Disclaimer: I do not own anything mentioned in this story except for the story idea itself.

A/N: Thanks to Taranea and Kurata for being the 2nd and 3rd people to review. Sorry about the slow update, I had (insert excuse here). Anyway, here is a long chapter (by my standards anyway) for everyone to enjoy.

Chapter 3: Sonic versus Metal Sonic part 1

"I'm telling you its true!" Tails was skeptical of Sonic's theory that Eggman was amassing an army of evil…again. And trying to take over the world…again.

"Sonic, you said that last Tuesday remember?" asked Tails.

"Yeah but-"

"And the Tuesday after that?"

"I know but-"

"And the Tuesday after that?"

"Still…"

"And the Tuesday after that?"

"Tails…"

"And the Tuesday after that?"

"TAILS!!!" Tails stopped counting off the days on his fingers. "I swear, this time it's true."

"You said that last Tue-"

"I swear on my super speed THIS time it's true!"

"… You said that last…"

"Say Tuesday one more time and I will take away the reason you're called Tails." Tails decided now would be a good time to stop counting off every Tuesday with his hands and feet.

"I am telling you its true this time! I would stake my reputation on not being a faker on it!!!" Tails decided to believe Sonic just one more time. Sonic was pretty serious about the whole faker thing with Shadow.

"Sonic, you're saying that Eggman has gathered an army of evil and is trying to conquer the world."

"Yes"

"And that the Biolizard is alive."

"Correct"

"And Metal Sonic is back."

"Stupid metal faker…"

"And Black Doom has magically come back from the grave."

"Yep."

"And that Eggman is not dead."

"TAILS! I DIDN'T KILL HIM!!!"

FLASH BACK

"Stupid blue hedgehog…" grumbled Eggman to himself as he worked on his latest creation: The Instant Egg Base! You see, Sonic was always foiling Eggman's plans for total world conquest while destroying his giant bases in the process. As time when by, prices for metal went up, cash was low and Eggman couldn't keep affording to construct giant bases and an army of robots. Eggman was forced to create those stupid little Egg Pawns to save enough money to get an armada of giant airships as well as the base in Rail Canyon's Bullet Station. Then Metal Sonic decided to betray his creator and locked Eggman in a prison cell while Metal Sonic wasted most of his money to upgrade himself to Metal Overlord. Eggman then decided to invent the Instant Egg Base to save time and money so he could try to take over the world by next Sunday.

All of a sudden, Sonic and Tails burst through the wall (again). Eggman was so surprised that he slipped on some machine oil and cracked his head.

"Holy something Robin would say Sonic! You killed Eggman!" said Tails as he stared at the motionless body in front of him.

"…" said Sonic. Tails began poking Eggman with a stick.

"…" said Sonic.

"Hey Sonic, you should try this, its fun!" offered Tails as he held out the stick.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" screamed Sonic.

"Fine then, you don't have to get all weird about it." Tails then resumed the poking.

"Eggman's not dead!"

"Yeah he is, see?" Tails poked Eggman in the stomach. It jiggled like jelly.

"But I'm a good guy! A hero! I'm not supposed to kill people! Not even people like Eggman!" cried out Sonic.

"Of course he's dead, there is even blood coming out of his head."

"That's not blood- that's… WHAT IS THAT!?!" Potential murder momentarily forgotten, Sonic stared in shock at the liquid flowing out of Eggman's skull. Afterwards Sonic ran away 'on the lam' for 2 hours before he got bored while Tails continued to poke Eggman with his stick.

END FLASHBACK

"TAILS I DIDN'T KILL HIM!!!" screamed Sonic.

""You know, yelling isn't going to make you right." Said Tails.

"…ISN'T IT?!"

"No."

"And Shadow has betrayed us again!"

"…Are you sure Sonic?" asked Tails.

"I saw it with my own one eye." said Sonic.

"Okay then Sonic, I believe you. Let's get Knuckles and go stop this army of the dead" said Tails sarcastically.

"Okay then, let's go!" Sonic missed the sarcasm and dragged a protesting Tails to the Tornado.

'Who knows what evil being planned at this very second…' thought Sonic.

Meanwhile…

Eggman added another name to his list of victims.

"Who next? Ah yes, my grandfather-in-law! (Don't know if these really exist)" Eggman chuckled quietly to himself as he prepared for his next attack. He quickly located his next victim trying to hide from him. When will everybody learn that they just can't hide from him? Eggman moved in for the kill…

"GRANDFATHER-IN-LAW BLACK DOOM!!!" Black Doom didn't even waste time screaming, he just tried to escape the madness of the egg shaped scientist before him. An interesting thing about Eggman is that he moves surprisingly fast for a fat guy. Eggman screamed his death cry at the top of his voice:

"HUG!!!" Black Doom soon found himself being squeezed by his captor. Black Doom decided to resign to his fate. Not even Metal Sonic's and Biolizard's combined efforts had saved them. It seemed pretty funny while Eggman toppled Metal Overlord over with a tackle-hug before but Black Doom was paying the price for laughing at other's misfortune instead of running away earlier. Black Doom resorted to a battle tactic known to the Black Arms as 'The Black Shift'. The Black Shift consisted shifting something like blame from one person to another. Here is a prime example now…

"Don't you want to hug your uncle?" asked Black Doom innocently while his ribs cracked from the pressure of the hug.

"…UNCLE SHADOW!!!" And with that, Eggman was away. Good old Black Shift. Maybe Black Doom could eat all the food and Black Shift the blame to Biolizard…

Sonic was riding on the wings of the Tornado. Why he didn't just sit in the passenger seat was beyond Tails but who cares? More room for him. Tails used the extra room to install a Plot-hole-radar-thing-O-matic-5000. How else do you thing Tails knows exactly where to go all the time? Using the Plot-hole-radar-thing-O-matic-5000 Tails easily located where Shadow and his family were… in plain sight at Shadow's house!

"Okay Tails, here's the plan: I will set the C4 around a wall, burst in, say something dramatic, escape at the last second and throw you into enemy territory. While they are busy pummeling you I will eat all their food, blame it on the Biolizard and use your bleeding, lifeless corpse as a weapon to defeat evil. That's my plan, what do you think Tails?" asked Sonic.

"… Time to do a loop." Was the reply. Before Sonic could stop him Tails had pulled the plane into a huge loop which threw Sonic off the plane… and fell straight through Shadow's roof.

Shadow was trying to hide from the evil hugs of a certain fat egg shaped man. Shadow had climbed on to the roof and was cursing his father for using him as a victim for the Black Shift. Shadow was pretty sure he was safe though. Eggman wasn't fit enough to get on top of the roof so as long as nothing happened…

"AHHHHHHH!!!" Shadow heard screaming above him. He looked up in time to see a blue blur smash into him and fall straight through the roof, the floor and into the basement. Metal Sonic, who was working on the Metal Overlord mark 2, heard something like…

"AHHHHHHH!!!"

"HOLY-"

SMASH!

CRASH!

Thud.

"My little hedgehog hip!"

Metal was about to dismiss it as Eggman trying to climb onto the roof and falling off when he realized he knew one of those voices. It was the voice of his arch-nemesis Sonic the Hedgehog! Metal Sonic quickly attached his cape to his waist for some reason, activated his 'Instant dramatic storm maker 2500' and made sure he had memorized all the words to his evil speech of doom before heading towards Sonic.

What will Metal Sonic do? Are Sonic and Shadow okay? What happened to Tails? When will Eggman actually get some character development? How long until Black Doom and Biolizard actually do something? Find out the answers to some of these questions next time!
