Notes: I own nothing. Maurice is Sonic's undercover name. Iblis is a hedgehog. THERE WILL BE SEQUELS! It will have some different things from the origanal The Fast and The Furious plot. ENJOY.
The crowd broke out into a run, everyone scattering to their cars. "Shadow! Get in the car! Get in your car! Go!" Blaze shouted
Sonic stood in the middle of the street for a few seconds before finally jumping into his car and driving away.
Shadow Robotnik pulled his Mazda RX-7 into a garage not far from where the races had taken place. He grabbed his black leather jacket and got out of the Mazda, making sure to turn on the alarm as he walked away. Making his way down to the street, he pulled on his jacket and held his breath as a police cruiser drove by.
For a moment he thought he was in the clear. That was until the cruise pulled a U-turn. "Robotnik! Stop right there!" He broke out running, ignoring the order. "Robotnik!"
Shadow turned into a nearby alley, running as fast as he could without looking back. The lights behind him drew closer as a car pulled in front of him, blocking his path. "Get in!" Sonic ordered, unlocking the doors to the blue Mitsubishi Eclipse.
As the blue hedgehog drove, Shadow held on for dear life, trying to keep his feet from the hole in the floor. "Whoa!" he shouted as Sonic dodged two police cars. "Whoa!" They made it to the clear. "You're the last person in the world I expected to show up."
"Yeah, well," he checked the rearview mirror, "I figured if I got on your good graces, you might let me keep my car."
"You are on my good graces, but you ain't keepin' your car. You drive like you've done this before. What are you? A wheel man?"
"No."
"You boost cars?"
"No. Never?"
"Ever done time?"
"Couple of overnighters. No big deal."
"What about the two years in juvy for boostin' cars?" Sonic flinched. "Hah. Tucson, right?" the blue hedgehog nodded. "Yeah, I had Tails run a search on you, Maurice Speed Hedgehog. He'll find anything on the web. Anything about anyone. So why bullshit?"
"What about you?" Sonic asked, changing the subject.
"Two years in A G.U.N prison. I'll die before I go back." The silence that settled between the two was broken by the sound of motorcycle engines. "Oh great." Shadow said.
"What?"
"It's gonna be a long ass night, that's what."
Before Sonic could question any further, a semi-automatic was pointed in his face. "Follow us," the rider said, somehow managing to control his bike and hang on to the car at the same time.
The Eclipse followed the gang of Japanese bikes into the parking lot of some Garage and cafe building. "I thought we had an agreement. You stay away. I stay away. Everybody stays happy," the leader of the gang said, taking off his helmet, to reveal a hedgehog that looked just like Shadow, except he had gray where Shadow was red, and green eyes like Sonic.
"We got lost Mephiles. What do you want me to tell you?" Shadow said.
"Who's we?"
"Uh, my new mechanic, Maurice" he pointed to Sonic. "Maurice, meet Mephiles Dark. The girl in the snakeskin pants, that's his sister, Iblis...So when are you gonna gimme a shot at that Honda two-thousand of yours?"
Mephiles ignored his question, turning to look at Sonic. "This your ride?"
"It was. It's his now," he answered, pointing to Shadow.
"No, it's not. I haven't taken delivery," Shadow argued.
"Then it's nobody's car. Somebody put in the wrench time." Mephiles joked, his gang laughing along with him. "What do you think, Iblis?"
"It's an amazing machine." His sister answered.
"Yes indeed." He ran a hand over the car, then got on his bike. "Let's go. I'll see you in the desert next month. Be ready to have your ass handed to you."
"Your gonna need something more than that crotch rocket," Shadow said, running his hand along the back of his neck.
"I got something for you." Mephiles pulled his helmet and road away, the rest of his gang following closely behind him.
"What the hell was that all about?" Sonic turned to Shadow, walking towards his car.
"Long story. I'll tell you later. Let's get outta-" The bikes came back, this time around the front of the car, signifying that they must have circled around the building. Without warning, Mephiles and Iblis opened fire, spraying the car with bullets. "Oh shit! NOS!" Dom called seconds before the car blew up and the Darks got away.
Sonic sat up from where he had been thrown from the explosion and stood, falling into step beside Shadow. "So what was that all about?" he asked as they exited the parking lot.
"It's a long story."
"We've got a twenty mile hike, humor me," Sonic insisted, looking for a taxi.
"A business deal that went sour. Plus, I made the mistake of sleeping with Iblis." They caught a taxi a few minutes later to Robotnik and Rose house. "Yo, Maurice!" he called as Sonic started walking away. "Want a beer?"
"Yeah, sure."
Above them, Amy almost had a heart attack. "Oh shit!"
Inside the house, the party was in full swing, fueling Shadow's anger. He stepped over Tails, who was playing the PS1, heading straight to Knuckles who had a beer in his hand."Yo, Shadow. Hey, man. We were just about to go lookin' for you, brother," the red Echinda said, only to have his beer knocked out of his hand.
Silver stood in living room talking to Blaze who was playing the guitar when Shadow walked over to her. "Where were you?"
She put down the guitar, pointing towards the door. "I just got home, Amy and I were looking for you the whole time, so don't you yell at me Shadow."
Shadow pointed to the beer on the table, "This your beer?" He asked Knuckles who grabbed the beer a few minutes before.
"Yeah it's my beer."
Shadow grabbed the bottle and walked away.
"You all right?" Silver asked, stopping in front of him.
"Am I all right?" he repeated, incredulous.
"It was just a question."
That was when Sonic walked through the front door, heading straight to Shadow. "Yo, Shadow, why'd ja bring the Busta here?" Knuckles called out in anger.
"'Cause the Busta kept me outta hand cuffs!" He whirled around, pointing an accusing finger towards Silver, Tails, and Knuckles. "He didn't just run back to the fort. The Busta brought me back." Shadow walked over to Sonic and held out two beers. "You can have any brew you want. As long as it's a Corona." Sonic picked the one in his right hand. "That one's Knuckles' so enjoy it."
"You-" Knuckles started.
Sonic wiped the top of the bottle off on his shirt and took a drink. As Knuckles started to walk over to them - pushing some random guy out of the way - Sonic turned to Shadow:"Hey, bro, you got a bathroom?"
Shadow kept his eyes trained on Knuckles and Silver, "Yeah, upstairs, first door on the right."
Shadow sat on a tiny cushioned bench and leaned against the wall sighing heavily. "He got no call bein' up in here. You don't know that fool for shit," Knuckles told him.
"He's right, Shadow." Silver agreed.
"Knuckles and Silver, there was a time when I didn't know you!" Shadow said, pointing a finger at his best friends.
"That was the third grade." Came the answer from Silver, along with a grown-up version of a noogie from Knuckles.
"I'm going upstairs" Muttered Shadow.
Shadow passed Sonic as he walked upstairs. "You know you owe me a ten-second car, right?" Shadow asked as he kept walking.
"Ouch. Oh shit," Blaze said while Knuckles and Silver laughed.
When Sonic turned around were Knuckles, Silver, and Tails were waiting behind him. "Did ja wipe the seat?" Knuckles asked him.
The three stared at him as he looked around for back up, noticing the gun on the coffee table. "Chaos!" Amy pushed her way passed Knuckles, "Would ja cut the shit already? Come on!" She grabbed Sonic by the arm. "C'mon let's go get me a drink."
"Ah, c'mon, Ames! We was just about to get along," Silver told her retreating figure."Yeah," Tails agreed.
The two of them walked into the dining room. "So, what do you want?" Sonic asked as she sat at the hutch.
"Anything, as long as it's cold." He handed her a Snapple. "You know, Shadow likes you. He usually doesn't like anybody."
"Yeah, he's a complicated guy."
Amy lifted an eyebrow and took a sip of her drink. "Yeah? What about you?"
"I'm simpler."
"You're a shitty liar."
"Well, I'll take that as a compliment." He smiled.
"But there's a problem." He frowned.
"What's that?"
She leaned in to him. "You need to get some sleep. And you definitely, definitely need a shower." Placing her bottle on the counter, she held her hand out to him. "Come on. I'll take you home."
