Shadows and Chaos

Chapter 5

Last time on Shadows and Chaos:

Time: 1330hrs

Place: The chase on Highway 91

This was basically a nature vs. machine road race as both Comrade and Sonic stood even in speed. They weren't exactly neck and neck due to having to dodge traffic, but they were pretty even. Comrade tried shooing the hedgehog away with gunfire but couldn't get lock on so he just kept "skating". Sonic threw the first blow, which at this speed was basically a clothesline. Comrade's processors had trouble keeping up this speed but he managed to slide under the arm while grabbing it and throwing Sonic into a bus. This is when the Tornado barely caught up and started shooting laser guided bullets at Comrade. Comrade muttered something dark and dodged the hail fire. Then flipped out his rocket launcher and turned around to run backwards as he aimed it at the Tornado. Sonic had unburied himself and was catching up when he saw his friends were in danger.

"NOOOO!" Sonic screamed as he dove to tackle the cyborg. The cyborg smirked then aimed the rocket launcher at the ground in front of Sonic and fired. A beat. Sonic flew back singed. This is when the unexpected happened.

"Chaos Spear!" A deep voice boomed. This caught the cyborg off guard as the strange energy hit it in the face blowing the sunglasses off. The heroes all looked to see where the voice and energy attack had come from. They all gasped as they couldn't believe their eyes.

Tails landed the Tornado as the friends stared at the sight; standing before them was none other than Shadow the Hedgehog. Comrade just scanned the newcomer while the rest were speechless. Shadow was supposed to be dead…right?

Shadow ignored the stares and said "Stand down Comrade, the jig is up." Comrade replied "Never." Shadow smirked, "Very well, a showdown it will be then."

Present:

Highway 91

At first the two war-proven warriors just glared at each other.

A long beat.

Comrade chose to charge, pulling out a small handgun as he did so. Shadow reacted by charging and concealing a chaos spear forming in his hand.

Comrade's sensors missed the chaos spear and he attempted to jump kick Shadow in the face. Shadow's military training kicked in and he slid under the flying cyborg while blasting the handgun to ashes and almost disabling the hands joint as he did so.

Comrade landed on his feet, combat-rolled and momentarily studied his hand. The chaos spear had not been the cause of the damage to the hand. The exploding gun had.

The cyborg rolled to his feet and pulled out a combat knife. It was a gorgeous knife with a thick handle and a twelve inch blade. The sun reflected off the blade menacingly.

Shadow just stood his ground and smirked. "A knife, seriously?" He taunted.

"It will do." The mechanized weapon replied.

Shadow charged forward with chaos-powered fists already aimed and swinging at Comrade. The robotic warrior narrowed his eyes and tried to evade but could not make his cyanotic legs move fast enough. The fists slammed into his face and chest and sent him flying.

Comrade landed hard as he tried to repair his self-made combat program. The initial chaos spear to the face had sent it offline. "… chaos energy" He mumbled to himself as he stood and took out a flash bang.

Shadow's eyes widened. He jumped out of the effect area and launched another quickly formed chaos spear to distract Comrade. "Chao Spear!"

Both landed and glared at each other. The battle raged on.

Time: 1345.

Place: Other side of Highway 91

The Sonic team stood in shock as it slowly registered that Shadow was alive and was beating the Cyborg that had beat the team twice, especially Sonic.

Sonic stood as he struggled to comprehend Shadow's skill and power. How could that faker do that?! He. Was. Sonic. The. Hedgehog. How?

Then he shook his head as he realized that the team should be helping Shadow take down the overpowered robot. "C'mon guys! Let's do to it!" The team surged forward as instinct took control.

Both Comrade and Shadow paused mid-battle as they watched Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy charge forward, ready for a rematch against the Cybernetic warrior. Comrade finally got his combat program running and started calculations.

Sonic charged with a flying running kick. Tails stayed behind to load his stun laser gun. Knuckles roared as he swung a large fist, and Amy brought her hammer down. Shadow stood back to watch with an arched eyebrow.

Comrade frowned at the odds, but grabbed Sonic's leg and swung him into Knuckles. Then he spun around and caught the hammer, knocked Amy back, and threw the hammer at Tails. Tails, being as smart as he is, blasted the hammer back into nonexistence. Then he pulled out a second gun and arched a teasing eyebrow at the robotic warrior.

Comrade smirked, but took the bait and pulled out twin 9mms.

A beat.

Tails jumped to side and started blasting away. At the same time Comrade leaped to the other side and started shooting back. Comrade had aimed in the spot Tails had been at so he missed, but Tails had outsmarted him… for a whole two seconds.

Comrade halted to pull a Metrix moment, then fired twice. The bullets knocked the guns out of Tails' hands. Before Tails could even say "Uh oh", Comrade charged to take Tails as a hostage. Both Sonic and Knuckles realized the cyborg's plan and slammed into Comrade like they were all playing football. (A/N: Poor Tails, I just took him from a gun ninja to a football :o).

Comrade rolled out the hero's arm reach and stood. He started to think the odds may catch up to him after all. "..Like I'll let that happen" He mumbled as he watched the heroes reassemble.

Time: 1400hrs

Place: Eggman's repaired factory

Eggman wiped his brow and grinned, a couple hours of work and he had an army.

An army of Eggman-itized cyborgs, that is.

"Muhahahahahahahaaaaa!"

Time: 1410hrs.

Place: Highway 91, or what is left of it…

They had been fighting in a stand-still stand-off for a while now. While Comrade the Cyborg had superior firepower, muscle, and did not feel pain; the Sonic heroes plus Shadow had numbers and the power of… Well, everyone knows how that ends. (A/N: and if you do not, go play Sonic Heroes lol.)

Comrade fended off another chaos spear, dodged more lasers, used Amy's hammer on Knuckles and turned to face a quickly approaching Sonic when:

His internal radar pinged.

Comrade's eyes narrowed and he put a hand out to stop Sonic in place.

Sonic was confused as the hand grabbed him and Comrade looked into the distance.

Being naturally curious, Sonic looked to see what the cyborg saw and what he saw made him want to wet his pants… if he wore any.

There, quickly approaching, was easily a hundred robots flying towards them that looked a lot like…

Sonic glanced back at Comrade, yep like him. Only they wore black pants and red sweatshirts. Now, that clothing style reminded him of someone…

"Muhahahahahaaa!" Yep. THAT someone.

Eggman floated into view. "Hello Sonic…. Comrade?" Eggman said/asked fearfully.

"Good day doctor." Comrade smirked.

"No matter, let us see you beat my ARMY of cyborgs." Eggman retorted.

The Sonic heroes plus Shadow and now Comrade studied the robots.

"Cheap knock offs" Comrade muttered.

Indeed. Instead of building them, apparently Eggman had built a personalized Comrade and then cloned them a hundred times or so. But there was still easily a hundred of them.

Sonic wondered how much like they were to the original.

Author's note: Annnnd cut. That's enough for now. So, may seem similar to a movie or something but now Station Square is under attack again by Eggman. Again.

Till next time. Please review guys I feel lonely.
