"We're screwed!" Knuckles cried.

The Chris's were pointing their guns at Sonic and Knuckles.

"Who the hell taught Chris how to use a gun?!"

Shadow and Chris are in a room. A room used to practice shooting.

"Why are you teaching me this Shadow?" Chris asked as he tried to hold the gun properly.

Shadow didn't answer, he had one arm wrapped around Chris's waist to keep him in proper position and used the other arm to make sure the gun was being held properly.

Chris was blushing a tad bit due to their closeness.

"Now you just want to carefully aim and then put your finger on the trigger." Shadow instructed.

Chris nods and does as told.

"Now all you got to do is pull the trigger." He said.

"O-Okay..!" Chris said nervously.

Chris pulls the trigger and the bullet immediately hits the mannequins stomach.

Shadow smirked and hugged Chris from behind.

"Good Job kid." he said.

Chris looked away shyly, he wasn't used to being complimented.

"O-Oh... Thank you Shadow..."

Shadow nods before pointing to the mannequin's head.

"Try aiming for the head this time alright?"

Chris nods before pulling the trigger once more, the bullet hitting right in the mannequin's forehead.

Shadow smirks before petting Chris's head gently.

"Good job, you did really good." he praised.

Rouge walks in on the two, causing the two boys to jump in shock.

"Why so jumpy? Were you two doing something inappropriate~?" Rouge teased.

"Shut up before I shoot those dumb wings of yours." Shadow growled, his grip on Chris's waist tightened a bit.

Chris felt a bit worried by Shadow's anger.

"Shadow...? Could you possibly calm down a bit?" Chris whispered shyly.

Shadow looks at Chris before taking a deep breath and calming down.

Rouge just stood there dumbfounded by what just happened.

"How did you tame Shadow so easily?!"

Chris smiles gently.

"It's quite easy considering that Sonic lives in my mansion. I have to calm him down a lot with just a simple hug or we just have a little cuddle session."

Rouge smirked evily as she looked at the two.

"Seems like I have blackmail against Sonic now." she giggles happily.

Rouge then flies off, leaving Shadow and Chris alone.

Shadow then turns to Chris.

"Let's try an AK-47."

"O-Okay...!" Chris said.

One of the Chris's giggled in a cute yet sinister way.

"My~ Seems like Sonikku is in quite the predicament, is he not?" he mocked.

The second Chris smirks in a teasing manner.

"My, Sonic must be really stupid and braindead if he doesn't realize which Chris is the real one." he giggled.

Sonic pouted as he felt very insulted by these Chris's, he felt like he was going to go into a fetal position and cry.

"Don't feel insulted by them Sonic, just keep your guard up." Knuckles reassured.

One of the Chris's wrapped one of their arms around Sonic's waist while their other arm was pointing the gun at Sonic's head.

"Surely you know which Chris is the real one right? Or is he still stuck with Shadow? Who knows!" he teased.

Sonic's eyes widened, this touch, felt just like Chris. His soft and gentle touch, his sweet and gentle innocent smile. His warm and lovely beautiful sapphire ocean eyes.

But this Chris was a manipulative, teasing, yet seductive piece of shit. This was not Chris. This was not HIS Chris.

Sonic tries to grab the Chris by the arm, but he vanished.

JUST LIKE THE OTHER ONES...

After a while of learning how to use a gun, Chris and Shadow are back in the main room admiring the stars.

Shadow then looks over at Chris, he was struggling to come up with an apology about snapping at him earlier.

"Uh Chris?"

Chris turns to look over at Shadow.

"Yes Shadow? Is there something you need?" Chris asked.

Shadow gently grabbed Chris's hand, he wanted to show Chris how sincere he was with the words he was about to say.

"I am terribly sorry for snapping at you earlier, it was a simple question and I shouldn't have gotten upset with you. And to answer your question, no I am not related to those two hedgehogs."

Chris stood there dumbfounded for a second before shaking his head and finally speaking.

"It is alright Shadow, I forgive you."

Shadow smiles gently, giving Chris's hand a firm squeeze.

"I'm glad."

Their wholesome moment was interrupted when Eggman walked in.

"I'm heading out to the store to get groceries and I need both of you to go with me." he said.

"Why can't you go by yourself?" Shadow asked.

This caused Eggman to sweat bullets.

"Because I got chased by the cops... I need witnesses to know I'm not stealing." he said.

"Aren't I a hostage? Why am I going?" Chris asked confusedly.

Eggman just pats Chris's head like the innocent child he is.

"You are my favorite hostage so you get more advantages that other hostages don't get."

"Oh... I see." Chris said.

Eggman then tosses a black cloak at Chris.

"Put this on, and don't take it off unless it's necessary." he instructed.

Chris nods as he puts the cloak on without any complaint.

Shadow however had a feeling Eggman was scheming something, and it involved sweet little Chris here.

'I need to keep an eye on that Eggman, and make sure that Chris is safe with me at all costs.'

Once Chris puts the hood of the cloak on, Eggman gives a nod of approval.

"Let's go then." he said.

Hallucination after Hallucination, Sonic is starting to lose his mind.

"Is this what a person with schizophrenia has to go through? It feels awful..." Sonic said as he tried to punch another Chris and fail.

A few Chris's start shooting, making sure to hit either Sonic or Knuckles.

However they were no match for Sonic's speed.

"Hah! Is that all you got?! I've seen Eggman do better than that!!" he taunted.

But Sonic got too cocky, and one of the Chris's managed to shoot Sonic's left arm.

"Oh shit!" Knuckles cried as he rushed over to lift Sonic to his feet.

Knuckles had to get rid of these Chris's fast or else Sonic's head might be next. He carries Sonic in one arm and charges at the other Chris's, destroying each of them one by one.

Once they vanished Knuckles began to rush back to Thorndyke Mansion, but making sure to stay hidden as to not want Sonic to get arrested once again.

Suddenly, Sonic had saw something.

It was Eggman walking along with Shadow and a... cloaked figure..?

Shadow was holding the cloaked figures hand, although despite not seeing their face. They had the same height as Chris.

"Chris...? Is that...? Him?!" Sonic exclaimed.

Knuckles groaned and rolled his eyes.

"You're probably hallucinating again Sonic, look we can't fight Shadow and Eggman with an injured arm, we're going to need to heal you first." Knuckles said as he kept his grip on Sonic tightly but not too tight.

Sonic looked back at the cloaked figure, then back at Knuckles before pouting.

"Boo... no fair, that could've actually been the real Chris this time." he sulked.

"Yeah, but it's YOUR fault that you got so reckless. And now you have to pay the consequences of your actions. Hence, the bullet in your left arm." Knuckles scolded before they walk towards the mansion.

Eggman looks over at the two heroes before smirking.

"Everything is going according to plan." he said evily.

Chris saw the blood in Sonic's arm, he felt very worried.

"What happened to his arm...? Who hurt him?" Chris asked, clearly concerned about his friend's safety.

Shadow gives Chris a reassuring smile.

"Whatever happens, I'm sure he'll make a speedy recovery."

Chris turns back to look at the two heroes.

"Oh I sure hope so..."
