Aboard the Black Comet...
Black doom and Erazor Djinn were arguing.
"You said Project P.A would be perfect, flawless!" Black Doom screamed. "Didn't I also tell you that sending down a mutated version of the pink one wasn't going to work? You could have sent down a half-decent, monster, but noooooo..."
Erazor Djinn glared at him.
"Project P.A hasn't finished yet, moron!"
Doom fell silent. "What?"
Erazor Djinn grinned. "P.A didn't stand for Psycho Amy. It stands for Project Annihilation. My plan was to send down a weak monster, which should get the Sonicanger's guards down. And while their guards are down..."
"Send down a strong monster to CRUSH them!" Black Doom finished for him." Erazor nodded.
"But...what monster are you going to use?"
A wolf-like creature appeared. It was wearing a torn, blood red karate robe. It had black fur and had fangs that almost reached it neck. It let out a blood curdling howl. Then it looked Doom in the eye, without any trace of fear.
"My name is Wolcanine." The creature said. "I'm the most wanted mutant in the galaxy!"
Black Doom looked at Wolcanine, then back at Erazor. "Are you sure that this time, those Sonicanger brats will die?"
"Yes...and here's the rest of my plan."
"What?! I'm more than enough to handle them!!" Wolcanine protested, but Erazor Djinn just ignored him.
"Enter!" Djinn ordered. The door opened at two mobians entered the room. One was a black hedgehog with red highlights on his quills and the other was a snow-white bat wearing skin-tight Black and Violet clothing. Both of their faces were completely devoid of any emotion whatsoever. As Shadow and Rouge continued towards them, Erazor Djinn decided to explain;
"They're under a spell. Completely under my control. They put up a good fight, I admit, but not even the 'Ultimate Life Form' can match up to me. They will DEFINITELY be enough to kill the brats. Plus, I've given these two a little booster..."
As he said this, the hypnotised Shadow and Rouge lifted their arms, and a pair of familiar looking morphers could be seen on their wrists, along with an even more familiar pair of golden medals.
Both Erazor Djinn and Black Doom threw their heads back and laughed.
Sonic's residence, 3:47pm.
Meanwhile, Sonic was tossing and turning in bed. He was having another nightmare.
"No." He muttered. "No!"
(Flashback)
"Son, Run into the forest and stay hidden for as long as possible. Keep moving. Robotnik won't want to waste his time and ammunition on burning down a forest. Keep your head down and they shouldn't find you. I've already sent Manic and Sonia to safety, now GO!"
An adult green hedgehog was kneeling down, trying to comfort his blue-quilled, eight-year-old son. Then came a large thump on the door. The air was filled with screams and the sounds of robots marching towards innocent Mobians. The smell of smoke was everywhere, caused by the fire that was ripping through the small village of Knothole. Out the window, a large, Octopus-Shaped robot was on a rampage, blasting down buildings from one of its eight cannons and squishing them with its metal tentacles.
Dr. Robotnik was at the controls of this metal monstrosity, howling with laughter.
Back inside the house, there was another large 'thump' on the door. The adult hedgehog quickly picked his son and dropped him out of the (Ground floor, thankfully) window and yelled at him to run. The Eight-year-old boy hedgehog nodded, tears beginning to form in his eyes, and began to run, only turning back just in time to see robots knocking down the living room door, pin his father up against a wall and put a sword through his heart. The boy turned again and proceeded running, tears streaking down his face as fast as his legs were carrying him.
(End of Flashback)
Sonic sat bolt upright in bed, puffing and sweating.
'That nightmare AGAIN. That's two night in a row. Maybe it wasn't Psycho Amy it was warning me about, after all. Figures. I only get that dream when something big and bad is about is about to happen, but she was so weak, not to mention lame and unoriginal.'
As the blue hedgehog thought about what had just happened, his morpher started beeping.
"Hey, guys." Blaze said drowsily. She had obviously just had her beauty sleep rudely interrupted. "We've got a new freak to deal with...snore..." She fell asleep on the keyboard, making Shahra laugh.
"What Blaze means to say is, Doom and Djinn have sent down another monster. It's located in Station Square Park. Now go down there and...and...kick is ass or somethin'!" Shahra called.
"Do we HAVE to?" Knuckles asked.
"YES!" Shahra answered
"But it's ten to four at night..."
"Just GO!"
"But-"
"I SAID GO!!"
Knuckles groaned as they began to make their way towards the park, each of them yelling; "Ninpuu! Shinobi Change, HAA!" as they ran.
At the park...
"All right, you overgrown puppy! You're going down!" Amy called.
"Oh yeah, who's going to stop me? You?" Wolcanine laughed.
"Grr... The wind howls, the Sky rages!
Air Ninja, Sonikku Blue!"
"The water dances, the waves jump!
Water ninja, Sonikku Yellow!"
"The ground shakes, the flowers sing!
Earth Ninja, Sonikku Red!"
"The flowers bloom, the trees grow tall!
Plant Ninja, Sonikku Pink!"
"Mobians do not realize..."
"Mobius doesn't realize..."
"We are shadows..."
"That battle evil!"
"Ninpuu Sentai, Sonicanger! Asan-n-n-jo!"
They struck their usual battle pose.
"Oh, I'm SO scared! Come and get me!" Wolcanine taunted.
"As you wish!" The Sonicangers took out their swords and attempted to charge Wolcanine, but were blasted back.
"What was that?" asked Amy.
They then noticed two figures slowly making their way towards them.
"Shadow? Rouge what are you two doing?!" Tails yelled.
"They won't hear you! Now my puppets, get them!"
'Puppets? They're under a spell!' Sonic thought to himself.
"Roger." Shadow replied, and he and Rouge lifted their morphers.
Sonic's eyes widened.
"Darkrai! Shinobi Change, HAA!" Shadow and Rouge yelled, and then morphed.
Their new suits were similar in style to the Sonicangers', but their knee and shoulder pads were in the shape of lightning bolts and the symbols on their chests were golden instead of white. Shadow's suit was an inky black and Rouge's was a bright violet. They then spoke their own roll call;
"Black lightning! Chaos ninja Shadowraiger!"
"Violet thunderclap! Winged ninja Batraiger!"
"Facing the shadows, slicing the shadows..."
"Facing the light, Slicing the light!"
"Denkosekka Darkraiger, Calling!"
They stared straight at the startled Sonicangers. Shadow pointed at Sonic.
"You're mine!" and with that, they dashed towards the Sonicangers.
Rouge went for Knuckles, both pulling out swords and engaging in a deadly duel.
"I'll get you, Bat-Girl!"
"Wanna bet?" three deadly strikes of her sword and Knuckles was sent flying backwards. He staggered to his feet and got his axe.
"Dirt Axe!" he slammed it into the ground, causing a small crevasse to form, but Rouge avoided it by simply flapping her wings and flying over it. She then swooped down and delivered a powerful slash, flooring Knuckles.
"My turn! Metal Hammer!" Amy cried. She leapt into the air and tried to hit Rouge. Rouge pulled out a violet coloured shield and easily blocked the blow.
"Not so fast, Pinky. Diamond Shield!" a small spike protruded from the end of the Shield, and Rouge stabbed Amy with it, who went flying back and landed next to Knuckles.
Meanwhile, Tails and Sonic were having even more trouble.
"Sound Blaster!" But before Tails could even launch his attack, Shadow delivered about twenty painful slashes to the fox, effectively taking him down.
"Tails!" Sonic yelled, running over to his best friend's side. He then looked up at Shadow. "You'll pay for that! Sonic Striker!" Sonic pulled out his laser and fired it at Shadow, who yelled 'Chaos Control!' and disappeared in a flash of green light.
"Huh? Where'd he go?" Sonic asked. Shadow reappeared behind Sonic and slashed him.
"Agh!" Sonic fell to the ground. As he tried to get back up, Shadow pulled out his own blaster.
"Shadow Blaster!" he then blasted Sonic, who was sent flying backwards and landed painfully on the pavement. The two Darkraigers slowly walked up to the defeated Sonicangers. They then combined their Shadow Blaster and Diamond Shield into one weapon.
"Dark Power Blaster!" they said together, before pulling the trigger. The resulting explosion lifted the Sonicangers of their feet yet again, before hitting the ground, de-morphed, making Rouge laugh.
"Be prepared, Sonicangers. For this is only a small taster of what is to come." The Darkraigers then turned and began to walk away.
"W-Where are you going? Aren't you going to finish them?" Wolcanine asked, but the Darkraigers simply walked on, ignoring him.
