Smoke started to rise from the ground, steadily decreasing to make out some of the features of the mysterious fellow before him.

"Shadow?"

Shadow's gaze fell upon the baffled hedgehog. He cleared his throat before saying a single word to him.

"You are mistaken blue fur. My title is cop 5798 from planet Mubus." He raised an eye ridge when Sonic snorted before laughing.

"That's a good one Shadow, I didn't know you had a sense of humor!" Sonic said with laughs, obviously he couldn't hold it in.

"My name isn't Sh-."

"Mubus? Sounds like a cheap knockoff of Mobius! Or even that other planet,what was it called?"

"Listen-."

Sonic snapped his fingers,interrupting the look alike Shadow. "Oh yeah, Moebius! That was it! Oh but let me give you some tips on how to craft a perfectly good prank. From hedgehog to hedgehog..alien...robot...thing!" Sonic chirped.

Shadow lowly grunted, what was he talking about?

"Ok so first off, you can't trick anybody by just having a oldie cop suit. Say where did you even get that?" The blue hedgehog questioned the other. Mostly staring up at that black police cap setting onto the ebony hedgehog's black and crimson quills.

"This is a genuine unifo-"

"Oh wow,you even plastered your fake,and not to mention lame cop title on that badge you have there!" Sonic started to walk back towards the cop and the car,slightly alarming Shadow.

He flinched when the blue hero started to jab at his chest, clearly very interested on why Shadow was doing this. "Not bad though at your first try of doing a joke! I must ask,who made you do this stunt? Was it Rouge, or Knuckles just messing with your head again?"

"Please don't touch me." Shadow mumbled, Sonic's eyes widened. Instead of fulfilling his request,his finger kept on jabbing the light blue fabric of the ebony hedgehog's uniform.

"Woah! You said the magic word! Is this really you Shadow?!"

He growled before finally taking out a notepad from his black pants, and quickly scribbling something down.

"Hey,what are you writing?" As soon as Sonic asked this,he was immediately answered by Shadow slapping the note paper onto his forehead.

"Hey, that's no very nic-WAH!" The hero soon started to struggle to move, as if he was getting paralyzed! "Shadow, this is a bit overki-"

This time it was Shadow interrupting Sonic. "Listen here you vial criminal, you are speaking gibberish and nonsense,don't bother to confuse me. It won't work."

Sonic raised an eyebrow, "Wha? Criminal?" He sighed before continuing, "Shadow did you get amnesia again?"

"I had no such thing, I'm the one one asking the questions,not you."

"Do you realize who you're talking to Shadz? I'm Sonic! Sonic the hedgehog, the hero of this planet! You can't possibly forget that if you didn't have amnesia. Do you know who Maria is?" *This will test if he did lose his memory.* Sonic thought with a smirk.

Shadow had no reaction,not even a punch was given to Sonic. "Don't make up stories, I have you right where I want you to."

Sonic was actually a bit concerned. *Seriously? No backlash? Not even a 'damn you!* from him? Oh boy, he really must have hit his noggin! Maybe Rouge was right!* The hero felt a bit awful he didn't believe the female bat of Shadow acting strangely. "How about me and you visit Rouge. What do you say?"

Shadow narrowed his eyes,but not so much that is was threatening. "I have no idea who you are referring too,but I have no time for this. You're coming with me criminal."

Gloved hands reached towards Sonic,which the blue speedster narrowly avoided. Despite him not being able to move,there was no way Shadow was going to get him that easily!

"Don't touch me! What in chaos are you thinking? I'm no criminal!"

"Really now? Then I guess this evidence I have here on my notepad is irrelevant." Shadow questioned,holding out the pad so Sonic could see.

He squinted his eyes a little, Shadow's handwriting was very well done,but too tiny for Sonic to read easily. "Has been a while since I read something! Alright let's see…robbery of banks,houses, people throughout Mubus…"

Shadow grunted when Sonic chuckled again at the silly name.

"...Uhhh..WHAT?! I haven't done ANY of this! You honestly think I'm a peeping tom?!" Sonic said with a heated face, "I never stolen,or killed, or caused any other trouble!" He protested.

"False, now quiet down. I don't need any other commotion from you."

"Really I didn't! What kind of sick joke is thi-" Shadow unexpectedly threw the paralyzed hedgehog over his shoulder without any trouble.

"Stop!" Sonic whined loudly. "Why can't I move?!" He asked the other,failing to throw kicks at his rival.

Shadow answered briefly, "Remember the note paper on your forehead? It paralyzes a person so my job can be easier."

"That's not fair! Let me go! Uh bad touch! Bad touch! Help!" Sonic felt embarrassed that he,a hero,was asking for someone to help him. But he did think saying 'bad touch' was hilarious.

"Shhh, we're only going to go for a little ride,hedgehog. Nothing else."

"Something tells me that's a flat out lie!" Sonic's eyes darting toward the car before talking back to Shadow. "Now that I notice...that's a pretty tiny car...how am I,a growing hedgehog suppose to fit!"

"Trust me, it's way bigger in the inside. Now time to go, say goodbye to your planet,and dimension."

"No!!! Bad touch! Bad touch!"

It was already too late, Shadow ignored his strange and unusual statements and gently placed Sonic on one of the leather back seats. The blue hedgehog still protesting.

"You made your point Shadow, this is SO funny! Now can you quit it with the cop stuff and leave me alone with my chili dogs?"

Shadow himself sat on the front seat, checking that everything was in correct order. He started the engine before looking back at Sonic. "You're going to keep making comments aren't you?"

Sonic nodded while wiggling around his seat,hoping for a more comfortable position. "Yup, hope you don't mind if I tell you some jokes and stuff since you so want me to be with you."

Shadow placed his hands firmly onto the wheel,though not starting to drive. "I'm not interested in romantic relationships with people,especially with criminals." He said simply before pressing some buttons in front of him.

Sonic couldn't help but feel his muzzle go pink. "N-no! No I didn't mean it like that!"

"Don't feel embarrassed that you got rejected, you have quite a supply of choices in jail." Shadow said with the same tone, slipping these words from his lips like it was a normal conversation. "Now don't be alarmed, this isn't the car's actual state." He said before working on to actually start the police car.

"I'm not embarrassed! You're not listening to me!" Sonic slightly shouted when he felt the vibrating golf on throughout the car. "And I'm not going to jail!"

"I'm positive you'll find your significant other in no time." Shadow remarked before suddenly a silvery layer of metal appeared, making the bland and normal cop car look vanish.

"Stop talking about this!" Sonic yelled before gazing at the new techy,not so oldie car look went to view.

Shadow pressed a button on a remote to make a wide TV screen appear in front of Sonic. "There you'll have some entertainment to keep you away from the car's high speeds." He informed.

Sonic snorted before replying, "This car..is fast? As if! I bet I could ran faster than this hunk of metal!"

"You underestimate technology, this can travel at the speed of sound. I suppose you can't run so fast like that,can you?"

Sonic tilted his head, *Wait, speed of SOUND? He must be joking,no technology can be as fast as me!* "Actually I can ran that fast. Can't you?"

"Get yourself prepared,we're leaving..right

..now." Shadow ignored Sonic's idiotic question and instead powered up the car.

"Wait you didn't answer-"

The car immediately bursted into high speeds,making a loud sonic boom noise behind. Sonic sunk into the seats and tried his best not to scream.

"I told you to be prepared."
