Ghost of a Chance

                                    

                                          
The Chaos Council had arrived at the Ghost Green Hill. They were ready to settle the score once and for all, and claim the shards for themselves. It was indeed true. The finally battle for reality had begun. "Crush everything in your path until you find the shards!" Mr. Doctor Eggman yelled as many of the Council's forces took off, searching the entire area to find said shards. They began to scout the area.
Sonic and Shadow still watched from the mountain as Nine and Wasp continued to reassemble the prism, but yet the hedgehogs didn't know what else was at stake for the two foxes. "Don't you just hate this part?" Sonic asked Shadow with a sigh. He turned back to the Council's Mother Ship. "The buildup? Sonic and Shadow versus unbeatable odds with the fate of the world at stake. Like, let's just get on with it already!"
Shadow just stared at what was ahead as Sonic did some stretches. "Hey, I'm not gonna be be the one who pulls the hammy," he smirked at Shadow, who had his concerns. "What about them? We can't just leave them with the prism shards. They might be onto something Sonic," the black hedgehog told Sonic. Nine and Wasp were seen grabbing the first prism shard in the cave.
"Pffft, yeah we can. Seeing as they're the only ones who can put them back together and you know, fix reality?" Sonic argued with Shadow. "You really don't trust them do you? I can see why." Shadow shook his head and said no, with Sonic of course saying that he didn't. "You wanna stay here and babysit? Fine. Knock yourself out. I'm gonna go buy us some time," the blue hedgehog told Shadow as he dashed off the mountain.
Shadow sighed as he dashed off the mountain and joined Sonic, who was already running into battle. "Heh. Look who couldn't resist a team up," Sonic teased as Shadow caught up with him.  "Hardly," Shadow started with a scoff. "Have you seen what happens when you go it alone?" He then dashed ahead of Sonic. "You mean landslide victory? Someone sounds jealous!" Sonic called from behind as he sped up.
Just like clockwork, the two hedgehogs took out the Eggforcers on the battlefield. Lasers and sparks flew, flames roared from the destroyed Forcers, and when it was all over, it just left Sonic and Shadow side by side, part of Ghost Green Hill already becoming a scrap zone. Mr. Doctor Eggman was already intrigued by this. "Oh. My. Egg!" Eggman snarled. "There's two of him now?!" Don't said in confusion as Babble gibbered some confusing words.
Deep and Done-it watched Sonic and Shadow fight on one of the camera screens. "After all of this dimension-hoping, nothing should surprise you," Deep said with some stern. "So what if there's two of 'em? Two means twice as easy to hit!" Done-it spoke up. Eggman stopped Done-it's sentence as he said, "No...it means our task just got far more difficult!" He began to type on a laptop, transferring the stored shard energy to the Eggforcers. "Let's see how they do when our forces are powered up!" Mr. Doctor Eggman yelled with a laugh.
With the powered up Forcers, Sonic thought he could get a hit, but one of them grabbed his punch and flicked him away like he was nothing. Sonic crashed to the ground. "He's down! Hit 'em with everything you got!" Done-it yelled from the Mother Ship. Sonic gasped in horror as missiles rained down on Sonic, but Shadow saved him in respone.
"Ugh. I'm gonna regret that," Shadow moaned. That made Sonic happy though. "I heard that Shadow. Annie would be proud," Sonic replied with a smile. Shadow just scoffed as Sonic landed back on his feet, two ships coming in hot. Shadow and Sonic both dashed away, Don't going after Shadow after when the two hedgehogs spilt up. 
Shadow sped off at fast speeds as Don't follow behind. "Smile for the ammo, rat," Don't smirked as he took aim at Shadow, Eggforcers chasing behind the black hedgehog. With quick footwork, Shadow dodged all of the lasers that Don't fired, and in the end, Don't ended up shotting the Eggforcers instead of Shadow. As Don't groaned in agony, Mr. Doctor Eggman said, "Pathetic! Let me show you how it's done in the real world, boy."
