Prologue –

"Shit!"

The explosion of metal shot outward into the street, the mobians that were trying to evacuate to the shelter screaming and turning another way. Sonic groaned as he fell against the ground, squeezing his eyes shut as one arm reached behind him to feel the damage. His back was bleeding, which was a shock -he never bled easily- with a piece of metal lodged into it. His fingers squeeze the grass under him as he grabs the shard and then puts his other hand to his mouth, biting into the glove as he pulls the metal out with a short, muffled cry.

Throwing the metal aside and collapsing in the grass for just one second, because dammit he deserved a breather, he lets out a shaky sigh and keeps his eyes closed, his ears flicking at the sound of explosions and buildings crumbling.

Get up, idiot, he told himself, knowing that every second he wasted laying there was only going to lead to someone getting hurt.

"Sonic?! Are you there?!" came the female cry from his communicator, and he sighs again, slowly lifting his arm close enough to his mouth so he could answer.

"Yeah, I'm alive," he mumbles, not sure how honest he was being with himself. He certainly didn't feel alive…

"Oh, thank goodness! Are you injured?!" came the voice again, and he rolled his eyes, finally opening them.

"Nah, not at all," he lies through gritted teeth, putting his hands underneath him to force himself up to a sitting position. He winces when his back strains, his ears pinning back uncomfortably. He looks up through squinted eyes at the flying fortress turning the sky into a smoldering red and smoky grey, hundreds of robots zipping off of it like bees out of a nest. Fires were erupting throughout the city and buildings were collapsing under the stress of the battle. He only thanked Gaia they had time to get most of everyone to the underground shelter before the waves hit.

"Sonic, we need help! Half of our G.U.N. support has been wiped out, and Knuckles is down!" again was the voice, and he closes his eyes, looking down.

"Yeah, I'm on it, Sal," he answers tiredly. All he had wanted was a nap. Seriously, was sleep too much to ask for?

He reaches behind him for the metal wall that use to be a flying ship, shakily grabbing onto it for support as he pulls himself to his feet. His leg hurt, bad, which meant something was wrong with it. His eyes narrow as he looks back up at the flying fortress, scanning it carefully.

There were no open weak points, for once anywhere that the eye could see. Powered by the Chaos Emeralds, each of the seven ships created by Eggman formed together into one, giant sky fortress, about triple the size of the Egg Carrier, and certainly equipped with more fire power. The ships could detach as they pleased, with the liberty of the doctor himself. They sat directly atop of New Mobotropolis, covering it with a dark shadow like a blanket. The emeralds themselves sat snugly within each of the ships, far out of reach or feel. Any time he tried to get into one of the ships, something would hit or blast him back. Eggman saw him coming every time…

A flash of blue erupted before him and he frowns, almost glaring at the black and red hedgehog that appeared before him. Shadow raises a brow at the hero, noticing all the of the injuries that he had obviously lied about. Sonic raises a brow back at him, not oblivious to the injuries the self proclaimed Ultimate Lifeform had as well. "Anything?" the cobalt hedgehog asks, not wanting to wait any longer. He's wasted enough time.

Shadow turns and looks up at the ship. "I can only feel the emeralds when I'm close enough, but it's impossible to stay long enough to draw on their power."

"We need a distraction," Sonic states, looking around. "We need him to pay attention to something else while we make the transformation…"

Shadow turns back to him with doubt. "You really believe our Super forms are going to do anything against that? Without enough energy they'll hardly last."

Sonic smirks, chuckling to himself. "What happened to that 'Ultimate Confidence?'" When Shadow glares at him the hero sighs. "Alright, yeah it's gonna be pretty tight. I'm sure if we're fast enough we could at least do enough damage."

"And then what?" Shadow about snaps. "What do we do when we're out of energy? Take a seat and let the doctor finish what he came to do? We're done here."

Sonic's eyes widen, before narrowing darkly. "We're hardly done here! We can still-!"

"Sonic we need you here now!" came Sally's voice over the communicator. "I can't get Tails to respond!"

A cold, terrible chill ran through Sonic then, and he looks up at the sky, for any sign of the red plane his little brother should be flying. There was none.

"Sonic?!"

The hedgehog goes quiet, gritting his teeth, both of his hands going up to his head to grab the fur there in frustration.

Fuck, was all he could think. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck- "Fuck!" he exclaims suddenly, turning away and practically reeling over. He didn't feel good, not at all… They were completely and utterly screwed. Eggman was going to win. Tails…

Fuck where was Tails?

"Faker, pull yourself together!" Shadow hisses, grabbing the hero by the shoulders and turning him around, holding him up.

Sonic only lets out a weak laugh, pulling away as he felt the energy in his body flip completely upside down, too strong for him to fight it. "I'll be your distraction," he says, grinning and unable to fight the energy any longer. Shadow blinks, taking a step back as he watches Sonic disappear in a black flash of energy.

Then three of seven ships explode.

"What was that?!" came Rotor's voice over the com, and suddenly Rouge is yelling.

"Sonic's gone Dark! Shadow get up there!"

The striped hedgehog curses before teleporting to one of the ships that hasn't exploded yet, his ruby eyes squinted as he tried to see through the smoke and fire. Dark Sonic was making a mess of this thing…

He could at least feel the Chaos Emeralds now.

"No!" came Eggman's enraged call over the speakers. "Nononononononooooo!"

"Dammit, faker," Shadow curses under his breath, taking off in a blur of gold as he tried to locate both Sonic and the Chaos Emeralds, before the darkened hero did something he regretted.

One after one, he finds the emeralds on the exploding vessels, gathering up six of them as the fortress is starting to collapse onto the city.

"Sonic!" Shadow calls over the communicator, hoping the idiot's energy wasn't interfering with the frequency. "Stop it! You're going to crush the city!"

It didn't stop.

"Son of a bitch," the hedgehog growls, dodging a malfunctioning laser canon and spindashing into the room that had the last emerald. Snatching it, he pulls it close, focusing on all seven emeralds' energies and letting them tap into his own. Figures he would have to not only stop the city from being crushed, but Sonic from being stupid, as usual.

He just hoped he wasn't too late.

After absorbing the raw, powerful energy of the seven emeralds, the now-golden biohog teleports to where he felt Sonic's energy the strongest.

Long and behold, it happened to be Eggman's control center.

Dark Sonic, in all his glory, stood on Eggman's console, looming over him, his sharp claws digging into the madman's throat. His eyes were a haunting white, glowing against the dark blue, almost black fur and aura he possessed. Eggman turned and saw Super Shadow, his eyes wide and hopeful.

"Sh-Sh-Sh-Shadow! Help me!"

Sonic's head turned quickly to the gold and red hedgehog, who walked calmly up to both of them with a cautious frown. "Faker, let him go. The city is going to be crushed if we don't get this thing out of here, as are all of your friends."

The dark hedgehog frowned and dropped the doctor, who scrambled away to his flying pod and activated it.

"This thing is set to self destruct, once all of the Chaos Emeralds are removed!" Eggman grins, boasting as if he hadn't been scared out of his shell only moments ago. "You're all doomed!" With that, he activates his pod and shoots through the escape path, causing Dark Sonic to growl and hurl a Chaos Spear where the human had been.

"Faker!" Shadow grabs the hero's arm, turning him to face him. Sonic snarled at him, trying to pull back, but Shadow held tight, forcing the other to meet his eyes. "We need to stop this ship, now," he says firmly, trying to ignore the shock of energy caused by his Light and Sonic's Dark making contact.

"THREE MINUTES UNTIL SELF DESTRUCTION."

The darkened hedgehog's eyes narrow, but he calms down at least enough to listen. Shadow lets out a sigh, letting go of his arm.

"If we use Chaos Control, we can get this ship somewhere away from the city," the Ultimate Lifeform offers. "Most likely to the ocean."

Dark's frown deepens, but he nods and looks away. Shadow chalks that up as a victory. "The Sapphire Sea. Follow my energy."

Sonic doesn't nod, but just watches Shadow turn and follows quietly. The golden hedgehog turns back to make sure the hero hadn't gone off, especially with how unpredictable this form was. It was stronger than their Super forms, probably even combined, so it would help immensely. He just hoped this control Sonic had on it would be enough to not kill them or anyone else.

Standing at the peak of the ship, they see how fast the whole thing is moving to the ground, before turning and facing each other. "Are you ready?" the golden of the two asks, raising a brow at the darker hedgehog. Sonic doesn't answer, probably trying to focus his control on keeping sane. Instead he takes a step back to give them both room, and Shadow nods.

"Alright then," he starts, the two of them building up their energy between them.

"Chaos-!"

Three Months Later

Rouge puts a hand on her right hip and smirks, turning the light on with her other hand. Couldn't those two be any quieter? she thinks to herself as she grabs the bag of groceries off the ground and kicks the front door shut behind her. "It's a good thing I'm looking out for them," she hums to herself, hearing a loud thud on the upstairs floor, followed by a curse and cry. What did she expect, though? They hated each other, so it wasn't like this was entirely fun to them.

Well, that's what they told themselves, at least.

Walking into the kitchen behind the bar and putting the bag on the island counter, she makes herself useful by putting the food away, her ears flicking at the noises upstairs. Another bang and thud sounded right after each other, and she wonders if she should have gotten a first aid kit while she was out…

They seriously needed to get their own place, though, she thought as well. They couldn't keep doing this in her club, especially if she needed those rooms up there for her guests. Even after yelling at the two for breaking a mirror and dresser and bed, as well as leaving blood stains on the nice, white carpet, they still had a problem keeping their messes contained. At least they paid her back with her very own Chaos Emerald. She couldn't decline it, but it didn't help clean up the mess, or pay for the repairs.

This was the only place they could do this, though. Mobotropolis wasn't exactly private, especially for those two, and they couldn't risk having anyone and everyone find out their secret. They needed a cabin, or something in the woods, she thought. Something far away from everyone that only they could go to.

Although, she did enjoy the situation, so she couldn't complain too much.

It goes quiet for a minute or two, before she stops and waits, counting down inwardly as she waiting for the next faze to go through. Sure enough, yelling was soon heard between the two, mixed with curses and insults that could traumatize a person. Doors slamming and more yelling followed, along with angry footsteps and such. The ivory bat can only sigh and shake her head, leaning against the counter as she crossed her arms and waited.

Sure enough, one of the two culprits finally made his way downstairs, soaking wet from most likely a shower. He walks in the kitchen, sees her, glares, then makes his way to the fridge and pulls out a water. Rouge finally frowns.

"Blue," she starts, watching the hedgehog down the entire bottle and toss it in the trash on the other side of the room. He ignores her, opening the fridge again and grabbing an apple. "Sonic," she says, this time louder and snappier, causing him to finally turn his emerald eyes to her. "Thank you," she smiles, walking over to stand in front of him. He leans back, giving her an uncomfortable look as he bites into his apple, watching her look over him for any serious injuries. There's a large bruise on his side, just showing through the fawn fur on his stomach, and cuts and scrapes littering him from head to toe. She can only imagine what the other hedgehog looks like.

"You guys have got to stop being so violent with each other," she comments, walking around him in a circle. His eyes narrow as he takes another bite of his fruit, his ears flicking back as she stands behind him. His tail was lowered and his quills were raised sharply, his foot tapping irritably against the tiled floor. "I mean it, Blue. This isn't healthy for either of you."

His patience seems to snap then, and he walks forward away from her, dropping the rest of his apple in the trash and heading out the door, jumping over the bar and towards the front door. She watches him in the doorway leave, slamming the door shut behind him.

She stands there for a minute, turning to look over at the stairs, thinking over the situation for a minute. Making up her mind, she heads to the stairs, going up to the room she knew the two had been in.

Pushing the slightly ajar door open all the way, she steps in to assess the damage. Not much, both surprisingly and nicely. Her target sat on the floor by the bed, lifting his stare from the floor to her, his ruby eyes narrowing sharply.

"I'm not going away, so don't even say it," she says, walking in to sit next to him. He looks away from her, and she sighs, reaching for his hand to grab it, running her fingers through the black fur. "Hon, you two have got to figure something out. Hating each other isn't helping either of you at all."

He pulls his hand away, scowling and not meeting her gaze. "You should mind your own business."

She frowns at him. "Shadow, this is my business. You're in my home, my work, with me being the only one that knows about this, so yes, it is my business." She stops to move in front of him, giving him a chiding look. "Both you and Blue don't deserve this. I know you guys don't hate each other as much as you both pretend to, if at all. You guys need to suck up your pride and work something out, because you really don't have a choice here."

Shadow's brows furrow and his ears flick down as he looks at the far wall away from her. She can tell he was thinking, but his stubborn self was arguing with her and himself.

"You know I'm right," she adds.

He looks away again, not saying anything. She waits, hoping he would at least take her words into consideration. When nothing happens, she sighs. "Shadow, you've read the books, you've read the scrolls. Once two people have bonded their energy, they're bonded for life, together, and have no say or choice in the matter. You and Sonic are the only two Chaos beings left on the entire planet. His Dark connected with your Light. Look at all of the signs, hon. This happened for a reason. I may not be a specialist in Chaos, but I've done the research, you've done the research, he's done the research, and we all know that you two are stuck together, no matter what, forever, so the sooner you both grow up and deal with it, the sooner my club can stay together in one piece, and you two can live happily ever after."

He scoffs and stands up, grabbing his glove off the nightstand and skates off the floor. She watches him head to the bathroom and slam the door shut, rattling the picture frames on the walls.

She huffs out air through her nose in exhaustion, shaking her head.

"Hedgehogs," she huffs, standing up, turning to storm out of the room. "Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn, stubborn…"
