BLACK CONQUEST

Note: Takes place one year after Sonic Next Gen

Chapter1: Dark Clouds, Part 1

It had been one year after Sonic, Shadow and Silver defeating Solaris. After Solaris was defeated, Sonic and Princess Elise blew out the Flames of Disaster in which the world would be saved. But with that, Sonic and Elise never met. Even so, peace had returned to the planet and everyone was enjoying their lives. Sonic and his friends also participated in the second EX-World Grand Prix featuring Sonic's old rival, Jet the Hawk of the Babylon Rouges. After beating his rival, Jet vowed to meet Sonic again when the next time they raced each other.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In downtown Westopolis, a lot of humans were in the city doing whatever business they were doing. Some people were using cars to drive to work, others were just walking on the sidewalk to exercise their legs, while minding their own business.

Suddenly, red clouds started to form over Westopolis. As everyone started to look up and see something covering the sky. When the clouds opened up, large black-alien creatures were falling from the sky as people screamed and ran away in fear. Once the black aliens landed on the ground, they started to destroy everything in sight.

Miles away from the city, we see one lone hedgehog, whom was eyeing the aliens that were causing havoc. He was a black hedgehog who was clearly identified as the Ultimate Life Form, Shadow the Hedgehog. As he stood there, his communicator started beeping. Shadow pressed the button on his wrist on his communicator.

"This is Shadow." Shadow said to the communicator.

"Shadow the Hedgehog! It is the GUN Commander! We have an emergency situation!"

"Let me guess. There are black aliens attacking Westopolis and I have to destroy every one of them. Am I correct?"

"Yes. Those hideous black creatures have returned, and it seems like there are more of them in the city then from the first time they invaded. I'm sending Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega to support you so that you won't take them all on yourself."

"Understood." Shadow ended the communication on his wrist and looked at the city again as the black aliens were destroy everything in sight. Seeing a nearby alien, he dashed towards it. The alien turned in time to see him coming, but wasn't prepared for what happened next.

"CHAOS SPEAR!"

A bolt of yellow energy bolted out of Shadow's hand and shot at the alien's head, killing it instantly. Once dead, he then went for the next closest one in sight. The black alien turned into time to see the black hedgehog coming. He raised his purple sword in the air preparing to swing it down.

"CHAOS CONTROL!"

With a blue flash of light, he disappeared just as the sword was about to skewer him in half. The alien looked around for him. In a flash of light Shadow reappeared behind the alien in mid-air as he launched another Chaos Spear at the alien's body. The attack didn't kill the alien, but it most likely just stunned him. Shadow wasn't down yet though, as he grabbed the alien's sword and used it to slice it in half, in which it was now dead.

"Well, it seems like someone wanted to start without us."

Shadow turned to see two figures coming toward him. One was a white female bat and the other was a large red E-Series robot.

"Rouge, Omega, do you know why this invasion happening again?" Shadow asked.

"We're not entirely sure ourselves, but from the looks of it, I'm betting that this has something to do with Black Doom." Rouge replied.

"Black Doom...? You don't think..."

"It seems like he is still alive." Rouge slowly answered.

"But that's not possible!" Shadow turned the other way with his head facing the ground. "There's no way he could have survived! I killed him!"

"If that were true, then why are there black aliens destroying the city as before? And Black Doom is the only one that could command these monsters!" Rouge turned towards the city as a squad of black aliens were storming towards them with their weapons ready.

"Black Aliens approaching this direction." Omega stated.

"It looks we'll have to worry about it later. Right now, we have to focus our attention on getting rid of these aliens." Rouge noted as Omega charged towards them head-on. Rouge was about to follow him, but not before turnign to Shadow again. "Aren't you coming?"

Shadow was in thought about something. What if Black Doom was alive? And if that were the case, then what is his purpose? Is it for the Chaos Emeralds? Or was it for something else? The answers would only come from one person. Black Doom.

"Shadow? Is something wrong?" Rouge asked.

"I have something important to take care of. Can you and Omega handle this squad on your own?" Shadow asked looking at Rouge.

"Well, sure. But where are you going?"

"If what you say is true, then I'm going to get the answers from him."

"You mean, Black Doom?" Rouge asked a little hesitantly.

"If these black creatures are commanded by Black Doom, then he is in this city somewhere." Shadow noted.

"Can you find him?"

"Don't worry. It won't take me long. I want you and Omega to make sure that you destroy every black alien in the city. Got it?"

"OK. Just be careful." Rouge said with a small smirk.

"Same to you." Shadow noted as he used Chaos Control to make himself disappear, leaving Rouge and Omega to destory the aliens.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In a flash of light, Shadow formed himself out of the light and landed on the ground. After landing, he looked around at his surroundings.

It was no surprise, really. The city was in chaos as the Black Arms were causing destruction an kill anything that was in sight. Cars were smashed, and buildings were either left in ruin or badly damaged. in the invasion. Shadow had experienced this sight before when the Black Arms first invaded Westopolis.

Shadow walked slowly as he surveyed his surroundings. He was intent on finding Black Doom. If he couldn't finish him off back then, he could do it again for sure.

Just then, a few projectiles from above landed next to his feet. They were sharp weapons that looked like Chakrams. He looked up to see where they came from.

A figure dropped down towards the road as Shadow jumped backwards at the time this new figure landed on her feet. This figure looked to be a female raven. She was a ninja who glared at Shadow with hatred.

"Who are you?" Shadow asked.

"My name is Maiza." She answered by narrowing her eyes at him.

"Are you suppose to be a ninja with that get-up?" Shadow looked at her with some doubt.

"Don't let the appearance fool you." Maiza noted.

Shadow eyed her suspisiously. "Are you...leading this invasion? Over Black Doom?"

Maiza stayed silent. "Maybe. Maybe not. That's for you to find out. If you wish to know, then you and I will fight!"

"Fine." Shadow said with a small smirk. "I don't think will take to long anyways."

With that, Shadow skated towards her as Maiza stood still. Shadow lashed out his fist, but Maiza grabbed it and threw Shadow over her shoulder. The black hedgehog landed on his feet as he went for a kick to Maiza's back, but the raven simply side-stepped out of the way without even looking behind her. Shadow's kick missed his target, but he still went on the offensive. Shadow jumped into the air and jolted out a Chaos Spear at Maiza, but the raven was, of course, fast enough to dodge the attack by jumping into the air and colliding with Shadow in a battle of fists and kicks. Each move that was made proved to be useless as both fighters blocked each attack. With one more move, both fighters rocketed backwards and skidded on the road as they stared at each other intently.

"I admit, I under-estimated you." Shadow noted.

"...So?" Maiza simply replied.

"So?"

"So what? I expected more from you, the Ultimate Life Form, Shadow the Hedgehog." Maiza said.

"Your saying that I'm not worthy of challenge, then?"

"At you're current state? Then yes. Now allow me to show you what I can really do." Maiza said with a dark smirk.

Shadow stayed in his position as Maiza started do something with her hands.

"I call upon the black flames of hell! Amaterasu!" Maiza shouted.

Out of the void, black flames appeared all around Shadow. As the black hedgehog was about to escape, the flames collided with Shadow's body as he screamed in pain and agony. The flames were quickly starting to burn on Shadow's body. Shadow couldn't even move as he slowly started to slump towards the ground.

"W-what are you...?" Shadow gasped each word slowly.

Maiza didn't respond to him as she continued to control the black flames that was burning Shadow's body with each minute that passed by.

"ENOUGH!" A voice boomed.

Hearing this, Maiza stopped her control and breathed for a few moments. The energy that she used up tired out her body a bit. As she was taking a small breather, a familiar black figure started to float towards her as he laughed at the sight he was seeing.

"Well now, it surely has been a long time since we last met, Shadow the Hedgehog." The dark figure said.

Shadow very slowly moved his head upwards to get a quick glance at the figure who spoke to him. "B-Black Doom..."

"I see that you have experienced the power of my new servant. Maiza the Raven." Black Doom slowly glanced at Maiza.

"I was disappointed in him. He didn't even put up much of a fight that I was hoping for." Maiza said.

"Did you find the Chaos Emerald that we were looking for?" Black Doom asked.

"Unfortunately, I have not. The Chaos Emerald was not in the city." Maiza said with a small hint of regret.

"What?! Is this true?!" Black Doom asked in fury.

"I'm sorry, master. It seems like someone else took it the moment we invaded the city." Maiza thought.

Black Doom stayed silent for another moment. "I see...no matter. We can look into it elsewhere. For now, we will retreat. Gather our surviving soldiers and tell them that we are leaving." Black Doom ordered.

"As you wish, Black Doom." Maiza bowed before running deep into the city."

Once she was out of sight, Black Doom turned his attention towards Shadow. "It seems that you very lucky today, Shadow. If she didn't stop the black flames of hell, you would've been killed already."

Shadow slowly got back to his feet. He was in a bad condition as his fur was a mess. He was too tired to even do anything else except stare at Black Doom.

"We will meet again, Shadow the Hedgehog." Black Doom noted as he disappeared in a flash of light.

The red clouds that covered the city started to disappear. All of the black aliens were gone, but not for good.

Shadow stood there in thought as he was trying to recover from the burns that were still affecting him. Rouge and Omega came into view as they ran towards him.

"Shadow!" Rouge gasped. "What happened to you? Your body...it looks like you caught on fire!"

Shadow didn't say anything. His mind was on nothing but Black Doom and that raven girl, Maiza.

"Shadow? Is something wrong?" Rouge asked.

"...Let's just say that my suspicions were right. Black Doom really is alive. And I've got a really bad feeling about this."

There was a brief moment of deadly silence.

"Come on. Let's go." Shadow said as he tried to move, but fell down one knee as he gasped in pain.

"Shadow! Hang on!" Rouge laid her hand on Shadow's back, but was quickly burnt as she moved it back and shook it off. "Whatever caused you to go on fire, really did a good job of doing that." She turned to Omega. "Omega, I need you to carry Shadow. It seems like he's too stiff to move."

"Affirmative." Omega stated as he slowly grabbed Shadow off his feet and carried him away.

Rouge slowly walked with him as she closed her eyes in pain. "Whatever happened to Shadow was not normal. Those burns...I felt something strange when I touched him. It seems like a darker force is at work here. I just can't put my finger on it." Rouge said in her mind before stopping. "If that's true, then we are need going to need more help in stopping this dark force."

With that, she took off with Omega, whom was carrying Shadow to get immediate medical treatment.
