Sonic & Mario II: World Heroes
Chapter Two
Three Hedgehogs and a Plumber
The emo anti-hero Shadow the Hedgehog lived inside a mountain cottage and he noticed Sonic outside his window running away from some giant robotic dog. "Grrr...Dammit," Shadow growled before slamming his coffee mug against the table. Coffee then flew from the mug splashing onto Shadow's inner thigh. "Ughhh..."
Shadow grabbed a cloth off his counter and wiped the hot coffee of his leg. "Can't that loser Sonic get a clue? I moved out here to get away from him."
Without warning Sonic and Egg Rover barreled right into Shadow's house destroying all his prized Star Wars collectibles that lined the wall. "Dammit I had to search to the ends of the Earth for that Jar Jar Binks action figure." Seeing another one of Eggman's ridiculous creation angered Shadow to no end. "Chaos Blast."
A red aura emanated from the lines on Shadow's quills engulfing the entire house. "Dammit look what you did you stupid robot. You destroyed my house," Shadow yelled looking around his burnt down house. "Eggman will die for this and so will you Sonic.
"Actually, Shadow you...uh...did that yourself," Sonic replied with his hands on his hips. Shadow just turned and sneered at Sonic.
Egg Rover's sensors picked up the energy signal of Shadow. "Analyzing target... organism Shadow the Hedgehog located. Status...Terminate," Egg Rover growled in its robotic voice facing toward the black hedgehog. "All Hail Eggman."
The ground around them began to shake fiercely as Shadow charged up of Chaos Energy. "EGGMAN?! I am getting so tired of him and his stupid inventions. He'll never create anything that can surpass the power of a hedgehog," growled Shadow. "If he was wise he'll give up with his futile attempts to rule Mobius."
Egg Rover's eyes then scanned both hedgehogs, analyzing an effective strategy for their extermination. "Targets...Sonic the Hedgehog...and...Shadow the Hedgehog. Activate Beta Plan 345-9 Code Name Smoke the Hogs."
The canine android opened its mouth firing a red laser from its mouth, but Sonic leapt into the air evading the blasts. "Too slow...," Sonic chuckled running away from the android.
Multiple heads appeared on Egg Rover's shoulder making a grand total of three. "Changing Battle Mode...Form Egg Cerberus activated."
"Whoa? Now that's something you don't see everyday," Sonic muttered looking over at Shadow.
However, Shadow was not about to back down and motioned toward the Egg Cerberus. "Hey you three head moron? If you want a piece of the Ultimate Life-Form, then bring it on."
With a well timed Chaos Control, Shadow vanished into thin air, reappearing behind of Eggman's android. "Chaos Spear," Shadow then yelled firing yellow spears of energy at the Egg Cerberus' backside burning its sensitive robotic tail. "Hah, I guess you won't chasing your tail no time soon."
"Don't leave me out Shadow, " Sonic cried running toward the Egg Cerberus and slamming into it with one of his Homing Attack. "Alright."
"Hedgehog...Sonic...Attribute...Speed," Egg Cerberus muttered turning its attention toward Sonic, who was running circles around it. "Mode...Advanced...Turbo." Suddenly rockets appeared around Egg Cerberus' legs and it blasted off chasing right after him and it bared its fangs at Sonic. "Farewell...Hedgehog."
The Egg Cerberus then forced Sonic against a wall with its claws. "You are so pathetic, Sonic, a truly waste of a hedgehog." Shadow huffed, while rolling his eyes. "Now, you mechanized mutt, feel the wrath of my Chaos Snap," snarled Shadow, while snapping his fingers calling down a red lightning bolt from the sky.
Just before Egg Cerberus could bit down on Sonic, the lightning bolt Shadow had summoned struck the Egg Cerberus, frying its circuits in the process. "Humph, that was too easy," Shadow smirked crossing his arms, but Egg Cerberus soon rose up. "Damn, I should of guess. You're not as pathetic as I first thought."
A red beam was then fired out of Egg Cerberus' mouth catching Shadow off guard and he was blasted into the ground. "Shad...I'm coming," Sonic cried running over toward the crater. When Sonic got all the way over to Shadow, he noticed that he was blasted completely through the hole and was lying there, unconscious. "Y...you're gonna pay for that."
Sonic curled up into a tiny little ball and began spinning around in circles until tiny lights appeared around his body. "Ready...Go," Sonic cried, running toward Egg Cerberus with his newly learned Light Speed Dash. A fast blue blur slammed right into one of the Egg Cerberus' heads destroying it on impact.
Meanwhile in the Mushroom Kingdom
A bunch of Toads wearing iron clad armor surrounded Silver pointing spears at him. "Freeze! You're under arrest, by the honor vested in me by the Mushroom Kingdom Royal Guard," Toaden cried stepping in between Silver and his men. "I don't know how things run in your world, but we will have order in ours."
Toaden was a Toad with red stops and unlike his men, Toaden wielded a small blade shaped like Meta Knight's. Toaden was always overprotective of Princess Peach and she grew tired of it.
"Please, Toaden, this is not the time to act so aggressively. If we intend on preventing this tragedy, we'll have to work together." Peach sighed.
Mario nodded in agreement with Princess Peach. "Yeah, since Luigi doesn't have the genie's lamp we'll have to go and find it, before somebody else find and it."
However Toaden did not trust the traveler. "C'mon, my Princess, you're not telling me that you actually believe in this evil genie and this ridiculous ring."
Learning that Luigi did not have the genie's lamp was almost too much for Silver to believe. "Wait? You don't have the Djinn's lamp. This doesn't make any sense," Silver griped scratching his head.
"You see, I told you that I didn't have that stupid lamp." Luigi groaned staring annoyingly at Silver.
"But, I don't understand…how could Luigi not have the lamp yet?" Silver said turning to Mario and Peach. "In my dimension, he wished for the world's destruction...If Luigi does not have the lamp, then who has it?"
"I don't understand any of this. It's all so weird to me…not to mention…freaky." Daisy sighed, folding her arms.
Princess Peach looked at Silver and then stammered. "I...Is the Genie that powerful?!"
"Yes, it's said that Erazor could destroy an entire village without even blinking, but he needs to feed off the negative energy made by selfish or cowardly wishers," Silver muttering while standing up, he then pointed toward the World Ring. "But, he can be contained. The ancient ones used the World Rings to seal Erazor away."
Mario approached the World Ring tentatively and held the rather large ring in his gloved hands. "So, this large ring can stop a maniacal genie." As Mario's grip tightens around the ring, it began shaking feverishly in his hands. "Mama-Mia?! What's happening?"
A brightly light emanated from the ring and displayed a holographic image in the sky over the entire Mushroom Kingdom where Sonic and Shadow could be seen battling the Egg Cerberus.
"It's the ancient ones," cried Silver rubbing his eyes. "They assisted me in the past protecting Princess Elise from Solaris, but that's another story."
Mario stared up at the hologram and struck his mustache, he recalled battling side by side with some hedgehogs, but their names did not come to mind. "Hmm...Those two hedgehogs...They seem awfully familiar to me."
The appearance of Sonic and Shadow high above the sky, stunned even Silver. "If the Ancient Ones have appeared over the sky, does that mean I need there help?" he muttered curiously. "It makes sense now. The Ancient Ones are the strongest warriors in the universe, but how will I get them here?"
It suddenly hit Silver like a ton of bricks, maybe he could use Chaos Control to bring them to this dimension, but he still lacked something vital, a Chaos Emerald.
"I could use the World Ring to bring them here, but who knows what will happen," Silver muttered going over the situation in his mind, but the thought of a destroyed future was too much.
Before Toaden could react, Silver snatched the World Ring out of Mario's hands and ran to the middle of the fairground where he raise the ring high into the sky. "What do you think you are doing?!" the Toad yelped.
"I'm gonna try bring the Ancient Ones here, by using Chaos Control with the World Ring!" Silver then turned away from Toaden. "Well here's goes nothing. Chaos Control," he cried, as the World Ring trembled uncontrollably in his hand.
The World Ring began affecting time slowing it down and a blinding white light emanated from the ring causing a rift to appear overhead. "WHOOOAAA!!" Silver yelped covering his eyes. "I…It's must be working…I think."
Back in Mobius
The entire Mountain Zone shook as Sonic repeatedly slammed into Egg Cerberus with his Light Speed Dash. "Yeah, take that and that!" Sonic chuckled, utterly owning Eggman's robot.
A rock tumbled down into the crater where Shadow slept, conking him on the head. "Uhahh! Dammit! My head! Wha...what happened," Shadow groaned as he woke up groggily rubbing his head.
The time rift affected the area around Sonic, Shadow and Egg Cerberus pulling them in. "What in the hell?! Someone's trying to pull us into another dimension," Shadow muttered sensing tremendous energy pulling them downwards.
Closing: Thanks for the three reviews too everybody, I really appreciate them. Well, until next time…See-ya!
