NEW Sonic The Hedgehog RP ((RP Thread))
It was the three year anniversary of the Eggman Empire. Three years since Angel Island, along with the Master Emerald sunk into the ocean, never to be seen again. Three years since the Death Egg, Dr. Robotnik's ultimate creation, laid waste to the cities of the world, demanding they all surrender to him. Three long years since the world's greatest champion, Sonic the Hedgehog, was captured, and the remaining members of the resistance wiped out forever. At least, that's what the Doctor wanted to believe.
In truth, not a single one of sonic's friend perished. They all scattered, hiding in different parts of the world, waiting for the day. The day the signal will be sent, telling them to come home. The day Knuckles the Echidna awakens from his coma. Miles Prower, otherwise known as Tails, was taking care of knuckles in his secret laboratory, and would send the signal out the moment Knuckles woke up. If that ever happened.
"HALT! IDENTIFY!" The hunting cry of Robotnik's mechanical henchmen. It was too predictable, the black figure thought. Almost... Familiar.
The figure turned. "I'm Shadow" it said, "Shadow the Hedgehog."
"PRIORITY ALERT - " the robot screamed, but before it could say any more, it had been dismantled by Shadow's fists, such was his speed and ferocity. The hedgehog vanished, speeding away towards the end of the building. More robots arrived, but they were taken down as quickly as the first. No alarm was raised as Shadow raided the factory he had infiltrated.
The black hedgehog had discovered that a new prototype robot was being built here. A robot to best all others. A new Mecha-Sonic model. Shadow has broken into the factory to destroy the prototype, and steal its blueprints, if possible. Shadow suspected that if the prototype was finished, it would be a lot more troublesome than the guards.
Shadow was right, naturally. As soon as he entered a new room, a circular, apparently empty room, he was attacked. What appeared to be a blue blur shot towards Shadow from his right. Shadow deftly leaped to the side, and shot some chaos spears towards the blur. But the blur simply stopped, revealing itself to be a near-exact replica of sonic, save for the glowing red eyes and expressionless face, before it spun around on the spot. The force of the Mecha-Sonic's movements created a miniature whirlwind, which flung the bolts of energy away. The construction spun faster, using it's speed to create shock waves, all of which were directed at Shadow. Shadow simply smiled and dodged the shock waves, which tore apart the rest of the room, and shot towards the Mecha-Sonic.
Shadow began to realize something, even as he was dodging and weaving, punching and kicking, almost dancing with his opponent. This robot replicated Sonic's speed and strength perfectly. It even had the blue hedgehog's fighting style, if it could be called that, down to perfect detail. But that's what made this machine inferior. It was too perfect. It was missing something that Dr Robotnik simply could not replicate, and that was Sonic's attitude. This gave Shadow the edge he needed to tear apart this prototype. So that's what he did.
After the Mecha-Sonic became little more than spare parts, Shadow left. He had accomplished his mission. He retreated to his hideout, a cave that was really nothing more than a hole in the ground. He reached out and looked at the transceiver Tails had given him three years ago. The last lifeline of hope. Shadow sighed, expecting to be disappointed once again, and looked down at the device.
