Info: This is dedicated to fan of the first story, Cold Stone who requested a sequel. So this story is for him, as well as the other fans of the first one.. Please note I will probably only be uploading the first chapter of this story and most likely won't upload until I am done with Watership down.
Shadow vs. Negaduck 2: The Unholy Alliance
The city of Saint Canard. At night time this city was patrolled by its vigilante hero, Darkwing Duck. And at this moment Darkwing Duck was riding his motorcycle around the town for any criminals. He had already stopped a mugging and an armed robbery earlier in the night, but other than that the pickings were slim, so then the Duck began to thinking.
He began to wonder where his arch rival Negaduck had gone, for he had not seen him in a few months. Last he saw of him Negaduck was pleading he had changed his ways to Darkwing. The hero being the good guy allowed Negaduck to leave, hoping he'd changed his ways. But with a sucker punch from Negaduck followed by a cackling laugh, Darkwing he'd known he'd made a mistake letting him go. And then Negaduck took off.
Little did Darkwing know that Negaduck had met his match some time ago against Shadow the hedgehog in the town of Station Square. But since Darkwing hadn't known of that he could only assume that Negaduck was out there planning his next crime. And since Darkwing hadb't seen the fearsome five in a while either, he assumed that all these criminal masterminds were working together.
Little did Darkwing know that more evil was afoot that night, but he wouldn't be around to see it.
In one of the buildings of the town, the lights were completely shut off. That was until a bright light flashed all throughout the buildings, slightly causing the ground to shake. Then there was a crackle of electricity. Then following that was a few brief moments of silence, then a cackling laugh.
Meanwhile in two towns over was the town of station square. And life was somewhat normal again. After the battle, the heroes realized that they weren't as strong as they thought. They all agreed that they needed to get stronger. So they all decided to train together. If another evil like Negaduck appeared they wanted to make sure they could beat it.
Knuckles and the choatix stayed on Angel Island, and were never really disturbed unless Sonic wanted to spare with Knuckles.
The blue hedgehog would train by going to Eggman's base and fight the doctor. The outcomes were always the same, but Sonic said the fights keep him on edge.
The whereabouts of Rogue were mostly unknown; she would only appear when she wanted to, mostly to chit chat with Knuckles. As for actual training she would often claim that she had gotten much stronger than before.
And as for the dynamic duo, the hero who defeated Negaduck. He had isolated himself from all others by sitting on the beach smoking cigarettes, much like he had done before. The only other person he was with was not a person, it was his best friend Omega.
And as always at this time the two sat on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves smash against the shore, and the wind rustle through the trees.
At this time at Angel Island. At the bottom of the pyramid was Vector and Espio in a sparring match. All the others watched from the stairs, except Knuckles who sat guarding the master emerald.
Espio threw three knives at Vector. The crocodile quickly ducked down to the ground avoiding the blades. Then he quickly charged the chameleon. He tackled Espio to the ground and punched him across the face, but Espio then kicked Vector off him.
Just then there was a rustle in the bushes nearby, the group sitting watching the fight was alerted by this and sat up, however Vector and Espio were oblivious.
There was more movement. Mighty made the first move, he stood up and then jumped into the bushes. Everyone saw this and watched on now.
There were grunts coming from the bushes. Just then a blue figure bashed out of the bushes, Mighty running after trying to stop it. As the blue dashed pasted Vector and Espio the two tried to grab it, but they were unsuccessful. Julie-Su was the one to grab it.
Just jumped off the stairs and landed right onto of the blue figure, stopping it in it's tracks. Everyone then crowded around it. AS it turned out the blue figure was none other than Sonic the hedgehog.
Upon realizing this, Julie-Su quickly let Sonic up off the ground.
"Why is it." said Sonic as he dusted himself off." That every time I come here, I always get attacked by you guys."
"It's not our fault." said Mighty." We didn't know it was you."
"I'm blue." said Sonic."Who else do you know whose blue?"
"Maybe you shouldn't run than." suggested Julie-Su."That makes you look suspicious." Sonic was about to say something but then didn't as he knew she was right.
"We should come up with a secret code word or something when you show up." said Vector." So we know it's you."
"Yea, but what word." said Espio.
"How about stapler?" suggested Mighty.
"That's stupid, nobody is gonna remember stapler." replied Vector.
"How bout you come up with something then." Mighty shot back. Vector stood there a thought for a few moments."Not so easy is it Jackass."
"Alright." said Sonic."While you all ponder this, I'm gonna go visit Knuckles at the top of the pyramid." Sonic turned to walk up the stairs. But was then stopped by Julie-Su who grabbed his arm.
"Be careful." She warned."He's been very tense lately."
"Oh, really." said Sonic. He then proceeded to crack his shoulders."Then it looks like I might be in for another sparring match."
"I'm serious." told Julie-Su.
"I know I know." Said Sonic as he shook her off and headed up the stairs."I'll be careful."
So then Sonic continued on his way up the pyramid steps. He finally made it to the top. When he got there he saw his red echidna friend atop the master emerald in what seemed like mediation like state.
Sonic took a step forward, this alerted Knuckles his eyes opening at the sound of this noise. Sonic continued forward. But then Knuckles sprang pt from his spot and charged Sonic. The blue hedgehog just stood there as knuckles attacked.
But during those few seconds when Knuckles was charging he was aware that it was Sonic who stood before him. Then he slowed down and didn't attack Sonic. The two now stood only a few inches before eachother.
"Hello Sonic." said Knuckles greeting Sonic.
"Hey." said Sonic after releasing a deep breath.
"Didn't catch you off guard there did I?" asked Knuckles as he turned from Sonic.
"A little." replied Sonic as he followed Knuckles."You've gotten a lot faster from last time I saw you."
"Yea." said Knuckles."Everybody has improved a lot over the past few months."
"A good thing to." said Sonic."If someone like Negaduck ever appears again, then we'll have to be prepared."
"The good thing about that fight was." said Knuckles referring to the fight with Negaduck those few months back." That it showed us all how in need of improvement we needed, and I'm happy to say that we've all worked on it. Well most of us."
"What do you mean by that?" asked Sonic to Knuckles' last statement. He thought Knuckles was provoking a fight with him.
"I can account for almost everyone getting better." replied Knuckles."Except for Rogue, Shadow, and Omega."
"Well I haven't seen much of them lately." said Sonic.
"Nobody else has either." told Knuckles." Rogue stops by here every now and then, but that's all. And Shadow and Omega…" Then Knuckles turned over to Sonic.
"What are you looking at me for?" asked Sonic.
"I'd imagine if anyone knew about Shadow and Omega it would be you." told Knuckles.
"You know those two." said Sonic."When there's action, they'll be there. But otherwise they'll be sitting around wasting the day away."
"Is that what you think?" asked Knuckles.
"That's what I know." replied Sonic." Shadow's probably so full of himself after beating Negaduck that he probably hasn't trained at all."
"So then maybe we've surpassed the ultimate life form." Suggested Knuckles hinting at the heroes growing strength.
"Maybe….." said Sonic. Knuckles raised an eyebrow at him."Humph."Sonic said with a smile."I think it's time I paid those two a visit."
Then Sonic began to walk off, but not before he waved to Knuckles and said "See ya." Knuckles nodded back then returned to his spot atop the master emerald.
Sonic walked down the steps of the pyramid, to find Vector Espio and Mighty still arguing over a code word. Upon seeing Sonic the group turned to him.
"Sonic." said Vector."Which code word do you think is the best?"
"Throw 'em at me." Said Sonic as he stood there.
"Stapler." said Vector.
"Leaf." suggested Espio.
"Turd." Said Mighty. Julie-Su slapped her face while Charmy chuckled to himself.
"All terrible." said Sonic.
"Well you have to pick one." said Vector. Sonic signed to himself and considered the horrible selection before him.
"How about pancake." Suggested Charmy out of the blue. All turned to him.
"Pancake." said Sonic, turning to the other three. Then he walked pasted them.
"That wasn't even on the voting list." Said Vector as he watched Sonic go.
"But that's what I choose." Replied the blue hedgehog."And that's the code word." And then Sonic disappeared, leaving the island.
"Damn." Said Mighty at having lost the vote.
"Relax." mocked Julie-Su. "I'm sure turd wasn't even in the running." Mighty shot her an angered glare.
"C'mon." said Espio."Let's get back to training." The group soon then forgot about what happened as they returned to sparring.
