Chapter 21: A New Threat

After their run in the forest, Sonic and Shadow were relaxing in the living room, talking to each other.

"I'm glad we have control now," Sonic said.

Shadow smirked and nodded. "So am I."

"Now that Mephiles is gone, there won't be any more werewolves around here to try and kill us," Sonic told him.

Shadow tensed up and hesitated. Sonic noticed this and spoke again.

"What is it, Shadow?"

"I'm...not so sure about that." Shadow told him.

Sonic frowned. "What do you mean?"

Shadow sighed. "When I was about to kill Mephiles, he told me that this was just the beginning. I don't know what he meant by that but I think he implied that there are more werewolves out there. He said...that the werewolf who bit him had told him to kill us, and he was happy to oblige. It was still about revenge, though."

Sonic's eyes widened. "What can we do?"

Shadow glared at Sonic. "We wait until the werewolves show up. And then...we'll be ready."

Far away on a hill overlooking the city, two werewolves stood in silence. They stared at the city lights, until one of them spoke.

"Mephiles is dead," the green werewolf, Scourge, said.

The other werewolf turned to face Scourge. His fur was glowing white, and his eyes were a crimson red.

"Yes," he told Scourge. "Apparently biting Mephiles and sending him to kill Sonic and Shadow was a mistake. We will have to do so ourselves."

"When shall we strike?" Scourge asked.

The other werewolf smirked evilly. "Shadow and Sonic will get what's coming to them. They have heard of us, I'm sure. Soon, the entire city will hear our names and tremble in fear at the sight of Nazo and Scourge!"

He laughed evilly and ran down the hill with Scourge, thinking of how Sonic and Shadow would respond when they faced this new threat.
