Amy: Please review and enjoy...

Shadow looked down at the sort of familiar black hedgehog in front of him.

"F-Faker?!"

The other hedgehog was up in a flash and whirled around. His eyes were blood-red, his fur was dark grey, he wore ripped up and bloodied gloves and socks, his quills were raised and deadly sharp. Around his neck, ankles and wrists, were bloody, broken silver chains. He let out a very threatening hiss, baring blood soaked fangs ( A/N no, he's not a vampire, though that would be pretty awesome XD ) Shadow didn't hesitate and lunged forward, aiming a chaos spear at Sonic's throat.

He was shocked when the hedgehog vanished from sight. Just like that. Gone. No chaos control, not even wind rushing to his direction as it would if he were to run away. He was there, and like a phantom he disappeared from what seems to be existence. And before the author could continue on writing about him disappearing just like that ( what is this? Breaking of the fourth wall?! ) Shadow felt pain flare up in his stomach as he went flying.

He crashed through several trees, which splintered like toothpicks. Shadow searched wildly around for some sign of his opponent. He heard the sound of chains rattling as he received another punch to the gut. He heard cackling and tried to pin point it's location, but it seemed to be everywhere at once. He managed to grab onto a strong tree branch and swung to the top of it. Panting heavily, his attacker appeared in front of him, smiling cruelly.

Before Shadow could take another breath, the demon in front of him began to glow dark blue. In his hand appeared what seemed like a sapphire. He felt extreme pain in his chest as bright red energy flew out of it and into his rival's gem. He felt himself getting weaker by the second. He was taking...his life energy. After a minute or so, the darker being stopped cruel smile was still plaster onto his face. By now the gem or whatever it was was glowing bright red and was smoking. He just laughed at the sight of the black and red hedgehog struggling to stay standing and breathe.

"Had enough?"

Shadow didn't reply, instead his shaking legs finally buckled as he fell to his knees. Everything around him blurred as his body went numb. "NO!" he tried to scream. But it came out as a faint whisper. He fought the wave of consciousness that washed over him, and swayed a little.

"Aww, that's too bad. I actually enjoyed kicking your ass. But I guess all good things must come to an end..."

He pulled out the familiar bloody knife and slowly approached Shadow, who tried to glare, but was set into a fit of coughing up blood. Sonic put a clawed figure under the others now pale chin. He faked a look of pity as his red eyes looked on the other crimson ones.

"It's such a pity really. The so-called ultimate life form on his hands an knees, about to be killed any second now...you have no idea how long I've wanted to see you like this. In pain. Suffering. Oh it would bring joy to my heart...that is...if I had one..."

"LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

The dark demon glowed blue and froze. Silver was floating a few feet away from the two black hedgehogs. Blaze was on a branch beside him, looking ticked off as fire engulfed her hands. Tails was beside her, one of his tails seemed broken and he had a slight hint of pain in his blue eyes. Instead of showing at least a bit of fear, the dark being just smirked. He slipped the knife back behind his quills. He then slowly lowered his hand. The four of them waited a few tense minutes.

Suddenly, Sonic burst out of the telekinetic grasp Silver had on him, causing the Silver hedgehog to gasp in pain. He easily dogged the multiple fire balls Blaze shot in his direction. He once again laughed menacingly as his eyes landed on Tails, who flinged under his hateful and evil glare. Seeing the who seemed to be the weakest of his three attackers, he lunged forward with incredible speeds, making him disappear once again.

His sharp fangs pierced the kitsune's arm, piercing the flesh, and causing Tails to scream in pain. He slowed down for a second as he kicked the fox in the gut, which sent him flying like Shadow ( A/N I'M SORRY TAILS! T^T) He then disappeared again and appeared by a distracted Silver, who was now running towards Tails. He tripped the silver hedgehog and the picked him up by the neck. But he didn't pay attention to who was around him.

Fire seared his right side as Blaze's attack hit on target. She continued hitting him with all she had. She was caught off guard when he was...laughing? His body glowed as he absorbed the bright flames.

"I'm surprised...I truly am...you actually managed to HIT me!" He joked. His expression changed to boredom when Silver once again used his telekinesis on him.

"Really? listen kid, your little trick isn't going to work on me again." Silver's expression turned to shock when he heard the darker voice in his mind.

"H-how did you-? I thought I could only-? Wh-wha?"

"Are you going to finish any of those sentences?"

"That's not possible! I didn't try to read your mind! Or to speak with you! How can you be speaking to me telepathically?!"

"HA! You know how long I've been stuck in your little friend's mind? I know that you can speak to others telepathically, and surprise, surprise! I can as well...'

He then began his haunting laughter which echoed in Silver's mind. Silver released the black hedgehog, who seemed to dust himself off while looking at Blaze's worried and confused expression. The telekinetic hedgehog was crouched on the ground, clutching his ears as if something was really loud. She rushed over to him, completely forgetting the dark being who was now behind her, playing with his sharp knife.

"N-no! Get out of my head!" Silver whispered harshly over and over.

"Silver?! Come on! Snap out of it! Tell me what's wrong!" Blaze cried frantically.

Now Sonic was standing behind them both, about to stab the knife in Blaze's back, when something hit him hard in the back, causing him to stop torturing Silver. He found his face being dragged through the dirt as he came to a stop in front of a tree. He whipped around to find Shadow, who was still shaking from his energy being taken, but still standing. He looked ticked and had another chaos spear crackling in his hand. He glared at the hedgehog before feeling himself being lifted up. Another angry hedgehog stood beside him. Silver looked at Shadow and nodded at him. Shadow nodded back and backed away, could it be that him and Silver had worked out a plan?

Silver grinned mischievously and Sonic felt himself being thrown around aimlessly, crashing into trees, the ground and any other hard object in the area. He snarled and bared his fangs as he was sent crashing to the ground again. He heard familiar laughter in his head, much to his dismay

"Hahahahah! Go Silv! Hahaha!"

"Shut up you stupid annoyance!'

"Stupid annoyance? Really? I've been called worse by Shads" ( A/N if you haven't guessed who it is yet, I'm not telling you )

"Shut up you fool! I will destroy your friends!"

"Yes, you shall destroy them by making them laugh to death at your failness"

"One that's not even a word and two-"

"Two, you better leave my friends the hell alone or else.."

"Or else what? You can't do shit right now! I'm in control. This time you watch! And it's MY turn to destroy everything you love!"

" -_- Dude...you have serious issues..."

"NO I DON'T!"

"Whatever, it's embarrassing to see my oh-so-powerful dark from being flung around and treated like a rag doll..."

"TIME TO GO AND PLOT!"

"What?"

"Just shut up...We're going..." The dark hedgehog sighed as he vanished again into thin air as soon as he smashed into the ground again.
