Prison Island.

Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shahra and Blaze were meeting in the central control room of the base, discussing the Darkraigers.

"They've got to be under a spell of some kind. I mean, did you see that dark glow in their eyes?" tails asked.

"How could we miss it?" Amy asked.

"Sooo...is there any way that you could break the spell?" Knuckles enquired, looking at Shahra, who shook her head sadly.

"I'm afraid not, there seems to be some kind of dark aura around them, preventing me from doing so. However, this aura doesn't seem to be in place, like it's not meant to be there, so it may be possible to destroy it, thus freeing the Darkraigers."

"Wow, and I thought that Tails was the only one to speak mumbo-jumbo around here."

Blaze sighed. "In idiot terms, we got rid of this aura, we free Shadow and Rouge, understand?"

"Not really."

'Bone head.' They all thought.

"Where's my Sonikku, anyway?" Amy asked.

"Probably still running around or training. He's been in a bad mood since our battle with the Darkraigers." Tails explained.

Station Square City.

Sonic was rushing around, jumping from roof to roof; images of the fight were still playing in his mind.

'The amount of power those two had, it was unbelievable! We couldn't do anything against them! We were given plenty of bruises, but they didn't even get a single scratch! And Shadow's attacks seemed to produce more shockwaves than Manic and his drums, too... NOW I know what that dream had been trying to warn me about... and that Wolcanine, we didn't even get the chance to fight him! Where is he, anyway?' Sonic thought to himself as he continued to run and leap.

As if on cue, a purple portal appeared in front of him and Wolcanine jumped out of it, causing Sonic to jump back in alarm.

"Why, hello again, Blue Rat." The thing said.

Sonic snorted.

"You again?" he started looking around mockingly. "Say, where're your little Darkraiger buddies, then?"

"I don't need them to beat the likes of you!" Wolcanine took out his blade and attempted to slice off Sonic's head.

"Missed me." Sonic said mockingly, who was now behind Wolcanine. Wolcanine roared and swung his sword again, only for the same thing to happen.

"Come on, Eggman's grandma could use that sword better than you!" Sonic taunted. Wolcanine, now furious, attempted to smash Sonic with his sword once more, only for Sonic to simply leap over the attack and hit the mutated wolf with a deadly spin attack, which sent Wolcanine reeling.

"Agh! Take this!"

Wolcanine summoned bolts of red lightning and started throwing them at Sonic, and one of them found its target. The impact sent Sonic over the edge of the roof, but he just managed to grab hold of the edge. He groaned a little and launched himself back on top, morphing as he did so. He took out his blade and engaged in a sword fight with the angry wolf.

"Face it rat, there is no way you can win this battle!"

Sonic simply smirked and successfully landed a close-range shot with his Sonic Striker. Not giving Wolcanine a chance to react, Sonic took a medallion from around his neck and transformed it into his guitar. Fingers working away, lasers shot out of the guitar at Sonic-Speed and slammed into Wolcanine, almost sending crashing into the ground. Sonic smirked underneath his helmet and put his guitar back into medallion form, before inserting it into a slot in his Sonic Striker, transforming it into a crossbow.

"Sonic Striker, Crossbow Mode!" Sonic shot a bunch of laser arrows at Wolcanine, sending him to the edge of the roof.

"Fire!" Wolcanine launched more lightning blasts, which Sonic didn't have time to dodge, sending the blue warrior over the edge of the building and out of sight. Wolcanine didn't move. Had he...killed him? Then, Sonic flew back over, using his power over air to sustain flight.

"Nice try, dog-breath!" Sonic taunted, taking out his sabre again and preparing for the final blow. He then flew towards Wolcanine at an amazing speed. "Ninja air strike!" Sonic yelled, giving Wolcanine a lethal slash.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOO! This cannot be happening!" Wolcanine yelled, sparks flying everywhere, before falling and exploding.

"Oh, but it is!" Sonic said, giving the thumbs-down.

A few seconds later, the X-Tornado swooped down low and the other Sonicangers leapt out, already morphed.

"Aw, man! I can't believe we missed the party!" Knuckles complained.

Then, there was a flash of purple light and a giant Wolcanine appeared.

"Or, maybe we didn't! Shinobi Machines!" Knuckles called into his morpher, happy that he wasn't being left out of the fight, after all.

The 4 machines appeared and the Sonicangers leapt into the cockpits. The machines then combined to form one.

"Sonpujin Fury!" The Sonicangers yelled together.

Wolcanine turned to face the Sonpujin.

"You don't scare me! Take this!" the overgrown wolf screeched, hurling more red lightning.

"Oh no, you don't!" Amy inserted a Powerdisk, and the chest of the Sonpujin opened to reveal a Karakuri Ball. It opened up to reveal the Mystic Shield, which the Sonpujin used to block the lightning.

"H-Hey! That's cheating!" Wolcanine protested.

"Mystic Shield, Sword mode!" the shield transformed into a sword.

Wolcanine growled and lifted his own sword, ready to strike, only for it to be broken in two.

"No! It can't be!" Wolcanine gasped.

"Why do they always say that?" Tails asked.

"I dunno. You're the one who's meant to know everything." Knuckles responded.

"Who cares, we got a battle to finish, you know!" Sonic commented.

"Right! Mystic slash attack!"

The Mystic Sword began to glow, before the weapon was brung down on Wolcanine, causing him to explode once again.

"All right!" Tails cheered.

"Hey, what's that?" Amy asked.

Two new Shinobi Machines had appeared; a Black Bear and a Violet Jaguar...and they were heading straight for the Sonpujin!

"Hello again, Sonicangers!" a familiar voice rang through the cockpits."

"The Darkraigers!" The Sonicangers yelled.

"Who else?" Rouge asked.

"Anyway, we're here to show you the REAL Machines!"

"WHAT?!"

"Darkrai Bear, Darkrai Jaguar, combine!"

The Sonicangers' eyes widened as the two new machines combined to form one.

"Darkraijin!" Shadow and Rouge shouted. The chest opened up and a Karakuri ball came out. It opened up to reveal a lightning-shaped sword.

"Lightning Blade!" Rouge yelled, and the Darkraijin swung the blade to easily knock the Mystic Sword out of the Sonpujin's hand!

"What the-" Knuckles began, but what was cut off as the blade made contact with the Sonpujin, sending it backwards. Three hits later and the giant robot began to fall.

"Thunder strike!" The Darkraigers yelled, and the Lightning blade crackled with electricity, before the full force of the attack was directed at the Sonpujin, causing it to fall and hit the ground, serious damage inflicted upon it.

"Guys! Are you OK?" Blaze asked frantically, but got no answer; that last blow had rendered the Sonicangers unconscious.

"Beware, Sonicangers, this is only the beginning of the end!" The Darkraigers said together, before the Darkraijin turned and walked off.
