Chapter 3: The Blue Blur's Big Bash

The next day, around 11:30, Amy set off.

"See ya' Shadow! Remember our plan?" Amy asked as she grabbed her purse.

"Yeah, yeah. See you later Amy."

"Bye!" Then she gave Shadow a peck on the cheek before heading out the door.

"Bye..," Shadow replied nervously. Why does she have to go and do that? I hate blushing...

"Now to head over to Sonic's pad." He then got up, took a deep breath, and headed over to the house. On the way, Shadow saw Knuckles and Rouge walking down the street hand in hand.

"Yo! Knuckles!" Shadow yelled to him. Whoa, did I say that?

"Hey Shadow. Just headin' over to the party early."

"No! You can't. See, it's a surprise party and Amy has to get the faker out of the house first so I can whomp- I mean, decorate it. I just gotta wait a short distance away from his house so I sneak go in once he leaves."

"You've had a lot of time to plan this, haven't you?" Rouge asked.

"Not really. Amy came up with it yesterday."

"And you're gonna let Amy- listen to me closely Shadow, Amy -take Sonic out to lunch. You really wanna get rid of her that badly?" Knuckles butted in.

"No! I completely trust her. She fell out of that silly crush already, remember?" Shadow retorted.

"Yeah, yeah. But if you ask me, that girl can't fall out of a crush." Knuckles stated as he folded his arms.

"Whatever," Shadow said, growing bored of this pointless argument. Finally, the gang was about a block from Sonic's house and he and Amy were plainly in sight. Amy was talking to Sonic, then the two just walked off in the opposite direction of his house.

"Okay, now let's go; slowly and quietly." Shadow commanded. Knuckles, Shadow and Rouge then began to tiptoe slowly to Sonic's house, with Sonic and Amy still walking away and chatting. Just then, Shadow noticed Sonic put his arm around Amy. This infuriated him and he stopped walking. Shadow just stared at the two with eyes full of hatred. He then felt a hand grip his arm and heard Rouge whisper to him.

"C'mon!"

"Told ya'." Knuckles told Shadow proudly.

"SHUT UP!" Shadow whispered as loud as he could. Then he threw a punch at Knuckles, but Rouge caught it.

"No arguments!! Let's go!!" Rouge also whispered loudly.

"Fine," Shadow growled.

Once they got into Sonic's house, Shadow ripped out many rolls of streamer.

"Take THIS!" Shadow yelled as he threw several rolls of streamer across the room and into the wall. One roll actually went through it. He just continued throwing them around the room angrily. When he got to the other decorations, he just tossed them around too. As far as the party hats and other stuff they were supposed to wear, Shadow had crushed his sets. I never should've let her go with him!!!

"Man dude, calm down." Knuckles suggested. Just then, Tails walked in.

"Hey guys!" He said. Shadow just turned to him and gave him an evil glare. "Uhh, maybe I should go,"

"No, you can stay. Shadow's just a little ticked that Amy left him for Sonic." Knuckles informed.

"SHE DID NOT!!"

"Face it man, you lost."

"SHUT UP!!"

"Look Shadow, maybe you should go outside for a minute. Take a breather." Rouge interrupted.

"Yeah, I will. Thanks Rouge." With that, Shadow walked outside after giving Knuckles an evil glare.

About 5 minutes later, Shadow saw a blue figure approach the house. He got back inside and warned everyone about him coming, apparently calmed down. The lights were then turned out, and everyone was hidden. Mere seconds later, the man of the hour arrived, alone.

"SURPRISE!!!" Everyone shouted, coming out of hiding. They were the ones surprised when Sonic didn't respond.

Sonic only muttered something barely audible mechanically, "Area scanned. Target not found. Obstacles... DESTROY."

Suddenly, a huge laser erupted from his stomach and headed straight for Rouge. She jumped out of the way, but the laser nicked her wing.

"Oww..." Rouge whimpered as she gripped her wing and shut her eyes lightly in pain. The next thing she felt was the empathetic warmth of her echidna friend. "Thanks, but it's nothing really.."

"What I wanna know is why Sonic shot at you, and where the shot came from. He isn't holding any weapons." Knuckles stated.

"Because that's not Sonic!! It's Metal Sonic! But I don't remember him having that kind of equipment." Tails informed.

Shadow was silent in all of this, until now. First, he curled up and spin dashed out from behind the sofa. Shadow ended up slamming into Metal Sonic, knocking him to the ground. Before Shadow could get close enough to make another attack, Metal Sonic had knocked him to the ground by kicking Shadow in the chest with his massive metal foot. Winded, Shadow got up and tried Home Attacking the metallic monstrosity. But Metal Sonic countered by slashing the flying ball with his now extremely sharp claws. Shadow was down, but not out. Just then, Shadow had noticed something, he had drawn blood. He already felt like he was paralyzed and couldn't get up, then he thought of something.

"Knuckles.... Toss me a... Chaos Emerald...." Shadow gasped.

Without question, an emerald landed in Shadow's open hand. "CHAOS....CONTR-" before he could finish, Metal Sonic quickly hovered up to him and kicked him, hard, across the room. Not only did he draw more blood, but the Chaos Emerald had fallen from his grasp, somewhere near Rouge. Once again, the door opened, only to reveal the real Sonic and Amy. Amy just looked around terrified, hiding behind her former hero. Just then, she noticed Shadow, lying against the wall across the room with many open wounds.

"SHADOW!" Amy yelled as she sprinted over to her friend.

"Amy, stay HERE!" Sonic said as he reached out to grab her arm and catch her; but he missed. She had already reached Shadow and was crying while trying to help him up.

"Amy! Look out!" Was all Shadow could whimper before Metal Sonic prepared to blast her. When he fired, it was redirected through the floor as Sonic Spin Dashed the monster. Metal Sonic then fell over and Rouge tossed Shadow the emerald. "CHAOS CONTROL!!!" Shadow shouted as Metal Sonic disintegrated in the blast.
