Episode 14: A Valentine's day from heaven or hell? Pt.1

That night...

Amy was trying to win over Sonic by cooking his favourite meal, and refusing to leave his side. As usual, she was going on about how they would soon be married and how they would have loads of kids and how they would always be happy together. Not that it had occurred to her that Sonic would rather end up on a sinking ship. Everybody else's mind however, was on who could of sent down that new monster. Needless to say, Valentine's day could have gone a lot better than it had done.

"That monster.....anyone have any idea of who could've sent it down? That definitely wasn't one of Doom or Djinn's." Rouge asked.

"Who knows?" Tails shrugged.

"What makes Doom and Djinn even think that they'll win this war, anyway? We all know that the day those two will win is the day that Sonic will have a proper relationship." Knucklehead said without thinking.

Amy glowered at Knuckles while Rouge looked at Sonic. He didn't look angry; he just looked a bit upset. Amy glowered at Knuckles, before taking out her Piko-Piko hammer.

"Better start running...."

Knuckles didn't need telling twice. No sooner than Amy said this, he had fled out the door as fast as he could, the pink hedgehog following close behind. A few seconds passed before they heard a 'CLANG!' and a yelp of pain come from behind the door.

Black Comet

"But HOW could he even be here?" He shouldn't even be here! He doesn't even exist! Djinn asked.

"I do not know. But nevertheless, we shall find out."

That night....

Rouge had had the idea of a Blind Dating contest. Each of them placed their names in a hat, and then drew them out at random. There was no telling who they'd end up with. Amy had tried to bribe Rouge into making sure she was partnered up with Sonic, but unfortunately for her, Rouge wasn't that cruel.

Later that night....

Rouge was waiting at the Diamond Place Restaurant. She was beginning to get impatient. She wondered who her date was tonight....Shadow or Knuckles or Sonic.....she lingered for a moment on the thought of Sonic. As if on cue, a blue blur flashed by, then doubling back and stopping right in front of her.

"Miss me?" He asked, with his trademark grin. Rouge rolled her eyes.

"Let's just go inside...."

What they did not know however, was that a dark figure was watching them, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

Rouge was actually beginning to enjoy herself. Or maybe the Blue hedgehog's attitude was beginning to get to her. It had been funny when the hedgehog had tried to order Chilli Dogs, even though they weren't even on the menu in this place. He was actually a magnificent dancer, even though no-one would believe it until they saw it for themselves. But she felt almost as if they were being watched....and as if on cue, the morphers started beeping.

"Guys! Another monster! And this one looks like it came from the same place as the last one!"

Sonic groaned.

"They have the most brilliant timing..." he complained, before taking Rouge's hand and running out the door.

Meanwhile, the other 4 were being pummelled by the new monster. It was a venom green colour and resembled a dragon that had hind legs. It picked up Amy and threw her straight into Knuckles, knocking him over. It proceeded to advance onto Tails, but was hit by a hail of lasers from behind.

"Who dares attack the mighty Drackon?"

"We do!" the smoke cleared to reveal Sonikku Blue and Batraiger, sabres drawn and ready for action.

"DIE!!!" Drackon's left hand claws began to glow red, before slashing them across Sonic's chest, forcing him into a wall.

"Diamond Shield!" Rouge leapt into the air, but her blow was intercepted by Drackon simply putting his hand out to stop it.

"What?!" Rouge couldn't believe it.

"I cannot be defeated by your puny attacks!" Drackon bellowed throwing Rouge off, who ended up hitting Tails.

"Sonic Striker!"

"Dark Blaster!" Sonic and Shadow attempted to use their blasters, but the lasers were just deflected of Drackon's tough, scaly skin.

"Fools!" Can't you see you're outmatched?" he roared.

"There's no doubt that you're powerful, but we'll find a way to beat you!" Sonic yelled back at him.

"Falcon Slash!" Sonic flew up into the air, a picture of the Falcon shining behind him. He performed a powerful slash with his sword, actually managing to knock off one of Drackon's huge scales.

Sonic landed in front of him. The others quickly ran up to meet him.

"So are you just going to give up voluntarily, or are we going to have to beat it out of you?"

Drackon just laughed at them.

"Oh, come on! Do you really think that I'm going to just give up like that?" Drackon pointed his arm towards the sky and a bolt of red lightning came crashing down right on top of him. Drackon began to grow....and grow....and grow....

"Why do they always do that?" Shadow complained.

"Alright, listen up. I've given the Shinobi Machines a large upgrade; they can now shrink down and be stored inside the Shinobi Medal and be called out when necessary, so we can use them anytime, anywhere!" Tails told them, pressing a button on his morpher, a small yellow light erupting out of it. The others then did the same, lights of their respective colours erupting out of their own morphers.

They rose up into the air and after reaching a certain height, materialized into their full-size selves.

"You never cease to amaze me, kid." Rouge said to Tails, as they entered their respective cockpits.

The Tiger, Shark, Deer, Bear and Jaguar machines charged towards the centre of the city, Falcon flying high above them.

"Sonpujin Fury!"

The Tiger changed shape to become the Legs and torso, while the falcon changed shape to become the head. The Shark and Deer leapt into the air to become the arms. Finally, the 4 machines pulled together to form one.

"Gattai complete!" Sonic, Tails, Amy and Knuckles called together.

"Darkraijin formation!"

The Bear changed shape to become the Head, torso and arms, while the Jaguar changed shape to form the legs and waist. The two machines then fused to become the Darkraijin.

"Gattai complete!" Shadow and Rouge called.

"You think you can beat me like this?" Drackon bellowed out.

"PowerDisks!" Amy and Rouge inserted their Shinobi Medals in their slots. Both mechas' chest's opened and a Karakuri Ball shot out of each. They opened up to reveal the Mecha Hammer and Thunder mace.

"Take this!" The Darkraijin swung its mace, but Drackon caught the chain with apparent ease, and then tugged on it hard, pulling the Mecha to the floor.

The Sonpujin smashed the dragon-like monster with the Hammer, but the blow had no effect whatsoever. Drackon laughed, before pulling the hammer out of the Sonpujin'[s grip and throwing it away. Then he sank his claws straight into the Sonpujin's chest and then swatted it with his tail, smacking it with its tail, smashing the Sonpujin into a Tower Block.

"Hah! Is that all you've got?"

"Hardly!" The mechas staggered to their feet, but were instantly smashed into the ground by Drackon's claw attack. The impact of the blow forced the machines to separate.

"Aah! He's too powerful!" Sonic yelled.

"We can't hold out much longer!" Amy added.

"Hold on. I'm going to try something new." Tails said.

"Whatever it is, hurry! We're getting our asses kicked!" Shadow yelled.

"Right!" Tails pressed switches, before pulling a lever.

"Ninpuu Gattai! Darkrai Sonpujin Formation!" The six machines got back up, then started to glow. They appeared to slam into each other. When the light cleared, a new Mecha was in the place the machines just were.

"Transfer to the cockpit!" The Sonicangers were transferred to a huge joint cockpit, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Amy at the front and Shadow and rouge in the back.

"Darkrai Sonpujin, Gattai complete!"

"Whoa...." Everyone (Except Tails) looked around the cockpit.

"What you think that thing can beat me! Take this!" Drackon used his claw attack again, but it didn't even appear to scratch the new combined Mecha. Drackon then smashed it with his tail, but likewise availed him nought.

"Stop it. You're damaging the paintwork." Tails complained.

"Take this!" Shadow pulled a lever. The Darkrai Sonpujin Drew its fist back, then smashed into Drackon, sending him down. Drackon attempted to get back up, but was met with a big boot.

"No how can this be?!"

"WHY do all villains say that when they're getting beaten into the ground? They ought to be sent off to originality school...." Shadow commented.

"Let's finish this! Ninja sabres!"

They each pulled out their sabres and then pointed them at forward, starting to glow.

"Shinobi Soul Blaster!"

Energy-filled copies of each of the machines materialized in front of the Darkrai Sonpujin, then sped forward and slammed into Drackon one by one.

"Noooooo!!!!!" Drackon finally fell and exploded.

"Checkmate!"

"Hey! What's that?" Rouge pointed to a dark figure on the horizon.

The Sonicangers leapt out of the cockpit and ran up to the figure.

"Who're you?!" Shadow demanded.

"You don't know....of course. You don't remember. Let me remind you!"

On cue, memories seemed to force themselves into the heroes' heads. They collapsed to the ground, holding their heads in agony. Sonic whispered something.

"Mephiles."

"That's right! MEPHILES THE DARK!!!" Mephiles sent a blast of crystal light at the Sonicangers, bowling them over. Shadow got back up.

"It'll take more than that to beat us!"

"Hmph. You wish to try your luck? Very well."

The two sides were about to charge, before something landed in between them.

"What the..." Knuckles began, before seeing what the object.

It looked like a hedgehog, in Silver coloured Sonicanger gear. It had gold plating and a symbol of the sun on its chest.

"I am the Future of the Future! The Shining Light of Justice! Tenkūninja, Silverkenger!"

Alright, anyone who can guess the identity of this new Sonicanger gets a cookie.
