THE DARK WINDS CHAPTER 3
DISCLAMER: I DON'T OWN SONIC OR IT'S CHARACTERS IN ANYWAY THEY BELONG TO SEGA.
.
An alarm sounded shattering the silence with a deafening wail and a crimson glow.
"Stop," a nameless soldier said as he pointed his gun at a figure in front of him, ready to fire.
"Hmph… pitiful," the figure said as it disappeared from the soldier's sight in a flash.
"Hey what were did he go," as the nameless soldier quickly began to look to his left and right in an attempt to locate his target.
Yet before he could turn around the figure appeared behind him and instantly kicked him in his head knocking him out.
"Really if this is the best this place has got there's, no point in me wasting power." The ultimate life form stated in disappointment.
Though as soon as he said this he was instantly surrounded by ten soldiers bearing larger guns.
"Halt, you have no were to run surrender yourself now or die!" One soldier stated.
Shadow looked upon all the men around him and shrugged.
"Sorry guys but have time to waste on losers like you." Shadow scoffed.
"Why you insolent rodent, you'll die for that. Take him out men." A soldier yelled, but before they could ready their guns Shadow spoke.
"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow said and with that he was gone.
"He got away sir," another man stated.
"Then find him I want every inch of the base searched got that." Another man stated.
"Yes sir!" Is what the rest of them replied with as they split up to look.
Shadow was now skating at high speed down the numerous hallways of the base in search of a path to lead him to the center. After a moment he soon came across a large steel door with authorized personnel only displayed near it.
"Bingo," the hedgehog stated as he approached the door.
It was heavily locked and enforced, yet this did not deter Shadow as he raised his hand, as it began to glow with a yellow energy.
"CHAOS SPEAR!" Is what he shouted, sending the door crashing down.
"Hmph… Well so far this has been a waste of power." Shadow said as he walked into the room.
The room was large and poorly lit with machines of unknown origin everywhere.
"Well I've found the bases core now were is…" Shadow instantly stopped as he moved to avoid a large beam shot at him.
"Well that was rude, why don't you just come on out weakling." Shadow said in an annoyed tone.
"As you wish rat." A sinister voice spoke out from the darkness.
Shadow was shocked to find a lone soldier glaring at him, but as he stepped into the light it was apparent that he was not your usual henchmen. He was seated inside a large mech with a cockpit looking like that of a plane, two missile launchers on its shoulders and to large robotic legs right under it.
Shadow looked at him and stated "A Bigfoot, haven't seen one of those in a while."
The soldier looked at him, and said "Knowing its name wont help, now die mouse!"
He then pushed a button, causing several missiles to fire. Shadow just smirked as dodged each one with ease.
"Is that all you got?" Shadow taunted.
"Now it's on!" the soldier stated rushing at shadow firing numerous lazers. Shadow just simply dodged these as well, until finally Shadow was backed into a corner with no were to dodge.
"Now your finished rat, any last words before I stomp you?" The soldier said confidently.
Shadow looked to him with shock for a moment then instantly smiled.
"Smiling in the face of your death, I admire that hedgehog." The soldier said.
"Sorry, but it's not my death that I m smiling at, it's yours." Shadow boasted.
"Ha, how do you figure that I am the one in danger when your about to be crushed?" The soldier yelled.
"You'll see." Is all Shadow said.
Not wanting to find out what Shadow meant by that, the soldier pulled the lever in the cockpit in order to stomp the hedgehog into the dust. Yet when he pulled it nothing happened.
"What's going on here?" The man said, pushing several buttons trying to get a response from his mech.
"Sorry but it looks like your powers been cut pal." A voice said out of nowhere.
"Who said that?" The man inquired.
"That would be me." The voice replied, as figure appeared on the mach's hood.
The man was heart pressed to find on his hood was a female echidna, her fur was a light reddish pink, she wore black sleek alien armor covering her whole body with a purple energy blade extended from her right arm.
"Well Shade I was beginning to think you had failed your mission, what kept you?" Shadow said.
"Are you kidding shadow? All you had to do was create a diversion while I got the data; instead you decided to put the whole base on alert making my job harder." Shade yelled.
"Hmph... Well you were taking so long; I thought it would be a good idea to come find you." Shadow said turning away, from her.
"Aw, I m touched Shadow you were worried about me, that's sweet of you." Shade said playfully.
Upon hearing this Shadow began to blush a little.
"Whatever lets just finish things up here shall we." Shadow said.
"If you say so, I have the data, so all that's left is to finish this guy and take out the base, would you mind doing the honors Shadow." Shade said jumping of the machine and landing next to Shadow.
"Gladly," Shadow said starring to the frightened soldier still unable to move.
"No… you wouldn't?" The man said in fear.
"Watch me." Shadow replied now glowing a dark red.
Shade then pressed a button on her belt as a blue shield surrounded her.
At that, all that could be heard was Shadow, as he spoke.
"CHAOS BLAST!" Shadow yelled out, as a huge red explosion of energy decimated the entire base, leaving nothing but scrape left.
As the air cleared of smoke only Shadow and Shade were left standing.
Shade began to speak saying.
"A little much don't you think Shadow?" She said with a sigh.
"Yea I guess, but it can't be helped I am the ultimate life form after all." Shadow said smirking.
"You're so naive at times Shadow, but I do like that about you." Shade said smiling at him.
Shadow began to blush again at hearing this and instantly spoke.
"Hmph, whatever… So Shade, you want to go get something to eat my treat." Shadow stated proudly.
"Thought you would never ask, lets go I know a great restaurant a little ways north."
"Perfect." Shadow replied.
Then in an instant they dashed of.
ELSEWHERE
As the flash faded Blaze began to process what was happening to her.
"What's going on I know Eggman's attack fired and he was right in front me, and yet I don't feel anything, but something must have happened… Right?" Blaze thought to herself, becoming quite vexed due to her inability to understand what transpired.
She began to open her eyes in an attempt to see what was going on in front of her, she gasped at what she laid her amber eyes upon next.
A black figure was in front of her shielding Blaze from the attack, blocking the deadly beam with one hand, making it seem like he was merely putting his hand against a soft breeze.
Blaze looked at the figure and instantly began to respond.
"Shadow is that you? I thought you were with shade on a mission for gun, what are you doing here?" Blaze asked.
Yet the black hedgehog did not respond to her questions, it didn't even seem to notice she was talking to him.
Blaze quickly began to get angry, thinking Shadow was simply being rude as usual, she was about to rebuke him when she noticed something strange.
"Wait your not Shadow!" Blaze stated looking at the figure again closely.
She noticed that his spikes were pointed up at higher angle then that of Shadow's; He had no red streaks in them either, nor did he have the trademark rings on his wrists, but what was the most apparent and perhaps most shocking was that his irises were completely gone, as a black aura with a slight blue tint surrounded the hedgehog.
Blaze then brought her right hand to her mouth in surprise and horror as she realized who she was gawking at.
"Sonic…" Blaze said hesitantly hoping she was wrong.
Hearing this caused him to instantly turn to her staring straight into her eyes as if his pupils were still visible.
She recoiled at his gaze, began to open her mouth, and with a great deal of worry stated.
"Sonic what's happened to you?"
