Shadow was sneeking in the dark that night, he was saving Maria from that evil Scourge.
Silver and Sonic watched.
"Who are you? Is that you Shadow?" Maria asked.
Shadow appeared and Maria wanted to hug him, but she was tied up.
"You talked before? So why won't you answer me?" Maria asked feeling worried as Shadow untied her.
Shadow sat there looking at her, then he spoke.
"Because Silver said that you would freak out." Shadow pointed out.
"So you all talk and you didn't tell me? Oh Shadow, I'm not mad at you." Maria smiled and hugged him.
Shadow purred and carried her on his back.
Scourge woke up from his sleep and noticed that Maria was gone.
"What in the hell! She's gone!" Scourge shouted out as he got out of his new car that he stole and run after Shadow.
"He's after us Shadow! Hurry up!" Maria cried as Scourge knocked Shadow down.
"Your not going anywhere with that girl! You bet this gun won't stop you, try me!" Scourge threatned.
"Shut up! Your very stupid and your ass doesn't even know what your doing! Maria is a normal girl, why is she a money bagged girl that is being taken for a big ass gold house huh!?" Shadow roared.
"You talked!?" Scourge backed away with the gun pointed at Shadow.
"Go ahead and shoot me dumbass! Go on and shoot me! I dare you!" Shadow shouted as Maria hind behind the trash cans with Silver and Sonic.
"You okay Maria, Sonic and I will protect you." Silver said as he kept her close.
Scourge backed away some more, then he turned to his place and ran away.
(That werehog can talk, why? I'm running away before I get my butt killed!) Scourge thought as he ran off.
"Shadow! Are you okay?" Maria asked as Shadow turned to see her run.
"Yes, I'm fine." Shadow replied smiling at Silver and Sonic.
"So your not going to attack me anymore? I told Maria all about what you've been doing to me when we were little." Silver purred.
"Uh, Shadow?" Sonic asked.
"No, I'm done fighting with you, your helpful to me Silver. You two Sonic." Shadow replied.
"Nice job Shadow, I love you!" Maria said as she gave Shadow another hug.
"I'm the hero?" Shadow asked.
"We all are! Sonic said we are equal!" Silver cheered.
"You might want to drop that smile Silver, your teeth are long!"Sonic teased.
"Stop it Sonic!" Silver blushed at Maria and they walked back home.
Espio was lying on the ground near Scourge's hiding spot.
"They talked! Werehogs talk! Oh no! I'm at it again! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Espio was going crazy.
Eggman Nega was mad at Espio for jumping out of the ship and ditching him over a talking werehog.
"Espio! Where are you!" Eggman Nega asked.
"He's crazy sir and now you will have a new partner!" A voice said.
"Who are you?" Eggman Nega asked.
"I'm Fang, and I will help you." The weasel said jumping in.
"So you will help me, eh?" Eggman Nega wondered.
"Yes, just tell me where to find this girl." Fang replied with a big grin on his face.
In the ally...
Maria was walking side by side with Shadow with Silver and Sonic walking behind them.
"So Shadow, you were so brave." Maria complemented.
"I know, I get it." Shadow smiled as he walked forward.
Silver and Sonic were whispering about how funny it was when Espio jumped out of the ship when they talked.
Flash back...
"Shoot me dumb ass!" Silver shouted.
"You talked!?" Espio said as he backed away and jumped out of the ship.
Back to the present...
"Yeah, that was so funny Silver! You were brave enough to talk to Espio while I was fighting with Shadow! Ha ha!" Sonic laughed.
"So Maria, is your dad okay with us talking?" Silver asked.
"Lets not have you guys talk around my dad." Maria suggested.
"Oh okay." Silver agreed.
As they were walking home, Fang appeared at the gate.
"So you guys have the little girl!" Fang laughed.
"Hey you, leave Maria alone!" Shadow growled.
"And who are you! Werehog! You can't talk to me like that! I can shoot you down!" Fang sneered as he took out his gun and pointed it at him and Maria.
"Maria look out!" Sonic shouted as he pushed her out of the way as Fang pulled the trigger and a bullet was speeding towards them.
Sonic was hit by the bullet. He fell down and didn't move.
"SONIC!" Silver roared as he ran over to Sonic and licked his face.
"Huh? Silver?" Sonic asked feeling confused.
"Now, give up the girl! Or your next!" Fang growled.
"You will not hurt Maria!" Shadow hissed as he jumped on top of Fang and slashed him, but Fang protected himself with his barrier.
"So you think you can just kill me!" Fang grunted as he threw Shadow off of him and knocked him down.
"Shoot! That guy is tough!" Shadow growled as Maria started to run behind Shadow.
"Shadow, please help me." Maria cried.
"I will! Hold on!" Shadow shouted as he clawed Fang's throat and he was down.
"Ow! That still doesn't stop me!" Fang shouted as he jumped on Shadow and pulled on his ears. Shadow roared and clawed him off.
The fight was bloody and messy, Fang was bleeding a lot while Shadow was shot on his arm.
"You are driving me crazy! Do you know that!" Fang hissed.
"No you are taking little girls!" Shadow roared as he jumped on Fang and clawed his eyes out.
"ARRGH! You little!" Fang grunted, his right eye was closed and a scar was on it.
"You will not hurt Maria, or take her away from us!" Shadow yelled.
Silver and Sonic watched Shadow fight. They were helping Shadow protect Maria.
"Thank you guys." Maria sighed as she petted them, Shadow was still battling Fang.
They both were bleeding badly now and Fang as gasping for breath.
Shadow was standing still as Maria saw her werehog bleeding from the gun shots that he took for her.
"It will be okay Maria, Shadow will be fine." Sonic reassured her while Silver whined and hoped for the best.
"Sonic, why is Fang so hard to knock down? Does he have any armer?" Silver asked.
"He could be wearing it." Sonic replied while he was thinking.
"I don't know Sonic, that weasel is scaring me." Silver ducked as more blood was being spilled.
Fang was cut badly was his hat was torn, he was hurt badly.
Shadow was hurt too, he was shot in many other places, he fainted.
"Shadow! Shadow, are you okay!?" Silver gasped as he ran up to him.
Shadow didn't answer.
Sonic and Maria run up to him too.
"Come on, lets take him home before that guys takes me again." Maria said as they grabbed Shadow and they went home.
Shadow woke up feeling hurt, he looked around. He was in Maria's room.
Silver and Sonic looked down at him.
"Hi Shadow, we brought you back here, Chadly was worried about you. Even Maria is down stair crying about you." Silver sighed.
"Yeah, we were also worried about you too." Sonic said with his ears drooped.
"Huh? What happened and how did we get back here, and where is that evil weasel guy!" Shadow asked feeling confused.
"He's dead." Sonic replied.
"You killed him, I hope no one finds out that we did it." Silver sighed and walked down stairs.
"Shadow, you were great out there, you are such a badass to me." Sonic smiled as he walked away.
"Thanks Sonic, your great. And tell Silver that I said thank you as well." Shadow smiled back.
Silver was looking worried, what if Fang wasn't dead? What if was he alive and he walked back to the ally?
Shadow just got out of a fight with Fang and now he is injured. Silver, Sonic and Maria were worried sick about him. Chadly was also worried, will Fang ever come back to get Shadow and take Maria away? Find out in chapter 9!
