Soul Eater but it's Sonic

Chapter 1

A sound soul dwells within a sound mind and a sound body.

A dark, crooked alleyway stretched out into the night. Sounds of scraping metal slithered along the stone walls. Rapid, frantic footsteps were being followed by a slower, heavier gait. Rumbling stirred the alley, rattling the pipes that lined the sides and matched its winding path.

One figure broke through the darkness, revealing a young canine woman. The denim jacket she wore over her yellow dress had two gashes running along the back. She was out of breath, but otherwise unharmed.

Another figure emerged shortly after, drudging from the shadows to reveal a warped and elongated form. The body of a feline man seemed to be the template for this monstrosity, but with many distortions. His fingers were rusty blades. Patches of fur were spread out amongst horribly burned skin that covered his body. He wore a striped shirt and a black hat.

The woman he'd been pursuing screamed when she witnessed him emerge. She ran down the street. The man moved to follow before something entered the edge of his vision. He turned to see a pair of hedgehogs, one blue and one black, standing in the middle of the street looking at him.

The blue hedgehog's hair had six tufts that arched downward. His muzzle was a pale peach shade that would match his arms, were they exposed. He wore a white collared shirt without a tie, black pants and white gloves. A long cloak that resembled a tight fitting suit jacket in its upper half was draped over him. The cuffs of his undershirt covered the ends of his cloak's sleeves. Red shoes lined with a white strap and a square gold buckle stood out from the rest of his outfit.

The other hedgehog had a more tan colored muzzle than his companion. The rest of his body was covered in black fur with a tuft of white fur on his chest. Red streaks on his arms and legs were hidden beneath his clothes. Quills that pointed upward formed his hair, aside from the tufts in the middle of his head, which pointed downward. Each tuft was lined with red at the top. One streak of redness arched from the center of his forehead back into his hair. and the corners of his eyes were lined with red as well. He wore a black leather jacket, white gloves, jeans and stood in harsh looking boots.

"When I heard a cougar was causing trouble downtown, I didn't think they'd be a guy if you catch my drift," The blue hedgehog started with a smirk. The cougar's face scrunched into a sneer, but his expression didn't indicate any comprehension. "Looks like we found our mark, Shadow,"

"Yeah, he's a weapon, and I don't have to see his soul to tell that it's corrupted," Shadow glared up at the so-called weapon in front of him. "Freddie the Cougar, your spree of violence ends here. Your soul is mine!"

Shadow's body began to glow and change shape. He leapt into the air before finishing his transformation. The light enveloped his body fully and his form elongated into a polearm. Sonic caught his friend midair and twirled him around as the light faded. A black, curved blade with a red streak emerged from one end.

"Let's go Shadow," declared Sonic. Holding his scythe partner at the ready.

Freddy barreled toward Sonic with bladed claws swiping through the air. Sonic spun his large scythe with ease, batting away the strikes with rapid parries. The two continued down the street while fighting, with Freddy attempting heavier, lunging blows that failed to trump Sonic's quick movements. The heavy attacks were causing the monster to crash into the abandoned buildings nearby. Large chunks of debris spilled onto the ground.

An overhead attack from Freddy came next, with both of his arms crashing into the concrete below. Sonic leapt backward, avoiding the slabs from the floor that were tossed into the air. Freddy jumped soon after to try and catch his retreating foe. His claw frantically stretched outward, elongating his arm and opening up his stance. Jagged blades sailed through the air, ultimately coming up short. Sonic saw an opportunity and responded by moving his scythe to catch Freddy's inner arm at the end of its swipe. With all of the monster's weight rolling forward, Sonic didn't need much additional force to cleave off the limb.
