Chapter 5: Sonic vs. Shadow Round 1

San Francisco, CA 6:45 PM

Sonic was hiding from the military in an alleyway, panting and hiding from the soldiers. It had been a very long day and he needed to catch his breath; so that's exactly what he did after he caught his breath for a moment.

'I think I lost them. I need to find out who caused this madness and they think I stole this gem from the bank,' thought Sonic to himself as he ran his gloved hand through his messy quills.

He glanced up at the sky, where there were a couple of clouds. The moon was rising now and the shadows were creeping towards him. "Ugh," sighed Sonic as he leaned back against a dumpster. "I mean, seriously, why did they come after me?" He asked aloud.

Annoyed, Sonic stood up straight and dusted himself off. "The game of tag is boring. I'm outta here!"

With a thud, a large robot appeared in front of Sonic; causing him to jump into a nearby dumpster.

"Huh?! What the heck?!" said Sonic as he stared at the military robot in front of him; not believing his eyes. It was F-6t BIG FOOT.

"Hmm. Finally decided to show up, eh? Okay, bring it on!" Sonic replied with determination as he raised a fist.

F-6t fired lasers at Sonic and he dodged every one of them. Sonic smiled in confidence as he jumped back into action.

"Oh yeah! This will be fun!" said Sonic excitedly. He then punched F6t in the glass with all the strength he could muster while still dodging the laser beams. Sonic curled himself into a ball and did a homing attack on F6t's head with a small explosion. F6t flew backward into a wall, leaving a dent and knocking him unconscious.

"That should teach 'im!" Sonic smirked triumphantly.

Sonic felt a presence behind him and whirled around ready to fight the intruder. He frowned when he saw it was another hedgehog who looked like him, but he was different. His fur was black and had red stripes on his arms, legs, and quills. He had white fur on his chest, his quills spread outwardly, he had white and red gloves matching his shoes, and he had rings on each wrist and ankle.

He was standing atop the defeated robot and looking down at Sonic with a smirk. Sonic narrowed his eyes and growled menacingly. "Who are you?! And why do you look like me?!" demanded Sonic.

The mysterious hedgehog laughed, "You can ask me questions, but I can't answer any of yours until your next turn in the game." He picked out the green gem from his fur and held it up high above his head. "It all starts with this... A jewel containing the ultimate power."

Sonic's eyes widened and he stepped forward eagerly. "That's the... Chaos Emerald!" he exclaimed. "Now I know what's going on. The military has mistaken me for the likes of you. So... where do you think you're going with that Emerald?" He asked, walking towards the mystery hedgehog slowly.

The mysterious hedgehog said nothing, but his smirk only grew wider.

"Say something, you fake hedgehog!" Sonic ran toward the ebony hedgehog, who jumped over the top of the dead robot and landed several feet away from the black hedgehog, holding the Chaos Emerald close to his chest. With one swift movement, he controlled the power of the Emerald.

"Chaos Control!" he yelled. Suddenly, he teleported directly in front of Sonic, making him stumble backward. The speed was so fast and powerful that Sonic couldn't see anything around him. Suddenly, he found himself back on solid ground, gasping for air.

"So, you're gonna try to stop me with a little trick?" questioned Sonic as he glared at the unknown hedgehog.

"Well, you'll never beat me with it!" he declared as he threw a punch at the blue hedgehog. Sonic blocked the hit and retaliated with a punch aimed at the ebony hedgehog's face, however, the black hedgehog dodged it by teleporting several feet backward. When Sonic tried to follow, he found himself being pulled through the air in the direction the ebony hedgehog went. Sonic gritted his teeth as he continued trying to regain control of his movements.
