When Darkness Rises

Chapter 1

The day was beautiful

The sun shined on all the forests and fields of Mobious where we find our blue hero running along in the fields. He dashes throw the trees and into the forest and comes to a stop at the edge of the cliff. Taking a in a breath of air he sits down and smiles.

It had been months since Eggman had attacked them. It's was kinda relaxing to be honest. Everyone helped to rebuild what was lost. Families thanked sonic again for saving them but he always tells them its not just him the others were always right there with him in defeating Eggman.

Everything was going great! Well for little while at least, Eggman would come back. He always does. Sonic sat their wondering where was the egghead. It's been months since his attack. However sonic remembered what had happened the last time.

Eggman was in his destroyed metal robot begging for mercy. Voices of tails and the others echoed, shouting and pleading. Sonic kept moving forward getting closer to the doctor and making his hands into fists.  Purple energy was flowing out of them.

Sonic reached Eggman his face unreadable.  Rising his hand sonic fired .

"Sonic stop!"

"Faker!"

Sonic quickly jumped turning around to face his counterpart. Shadow was kneeling by his side, a hand placed on his shoulder. "Shadow? Long time no see!" He gave a smile. The black hedgehog nodded, "Hm long time no see...are you alright?" "Of course! With view why wouldn't I be." Shadow sighed standing back up. "Are you sure I could sense your chaos energy raising." 

Sonic just stared at the sun. Feeling the small breeze past by. The sounds and smells of the ocean below. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It was calm. It was nice. "Hey sonic. Sonic come in!" The communicator buzzed. It was tails. Sonic sighed hoping to spend more time in peace. He took out the communicator from his Pocket, "Yo Tails what's up?" 

"I think I found out something. I hacked into one of Eggmans computers and discovered some new notes about his next plan. You wouldn't mind coming over would you?" Sonic looked at shadow, "Sure thing tails! Mind if I bring Shads with me?" He smirked at shadows annoyance to the nick name. "Shadows back? huh I don't mind at all. Welcome back shadow." The fox greeted. "Thank you. I'm glad to be home again." Shadow knelt done and acknowledged. "Be their in five Tails!" The communicator cut out and Sonic placed it back in his pocket.  

Shadow stood up, taking Sonics hand.

"Let's race" 

"Heh your on faker!But you should know that I never lose." He said with a smirk. Shadow crossed his arms. "We'll see about that."

Both took off in a blast of red and blue. Shadow glanced at his partner. 

Sonic didn't look...happy?

He's always smiled when he ran. What confused him the most was that when racing he would always say something to annoy him. But faker was strangely silent. It kinda confused him, he may think sonic is stubborn but he still cared for him at least.
Shadow decided to break the weird silence.

"Faker is it me or are you slower then usually" He remarked jumping ahead.
Sonic looked over at him giving a wink. "You kidding I've been going easy on you shads unless you wanna go for real!" He sped ahead before shadow could answer. Shadow gave a laugh,
"Easy well then show me what you got faker." He shouted catching up to him.

Meanwhile Tails had been upgrading the tornado in the lab. He was suddenly interrupted by a pink hedgehog calling for him.
