"It Takes a Village to Defeat a Hedgehog?" Tails read the title of the show in confusion.

Amy was confused as well. "What does it mean by that??"

Eggman immediately knew what this meant. "Oh no..." He groaned, glancing at Theo. "Don't tell me... My twin is gathering up ALL the 'villains' to take on Sonic."

The hedgehog nodded. "Correct."

"Really? An ENTIRE village??" Sonia questioned.

Manic glanced at his brother. "I didn't know the everyone hated you THAT much."

The blue blur shrugged. "You'll get used to it."

"You know, it would make more sense for the title to say, "It Takes a Villainous Horde to Defeat a Hedgehog." Don't ya think?" Tails explained.

"That's a mouthful of a title." Jet pointed out.

"So is the title of this story." Wave remarked.

"Is that why Cream and the others had to go?" Shadow asked, curious. He still wanted to know why Cream and Maria had to go. He didn't care about Cosmo.

"No." Lucy shook her head. "You'll see once the show starts.

"It better be worth our time." Scourge groused.

"I'm sure it will." Sonic said.

"Let's hope. I have responsibilities." Neera added.

The scene begins with Eggman sitting round his table table. Along with him were a group of other villains.

"Dr. Eggman, why did you call us here?" T.W Baker questioned the human. "All will be revealed in due time, my friends. We're still waiting on one more arrival." Eggman stated.

"But I have a noon shift at Meh Burger." Dave complained. "If I'm late, I'll never get that raise to minimum wage." Everyone mumbles in agreement.

"Is minimum wage actually more than a teen is typically paid at Meh Burger, or is he paid less because he's a villain?" Tails questioned.

"Neither." Fiona said.

Eggman frowned. "Fine, fine. We'll get started. In this room, I've gathered a rogue's gallery of the most vile, nefarious, repungmalevolent evildoers--" "Are you sure?" Carol asked, not convinced. "I think you just invited the Lightning Bolt Society to fill up space considering their petty crimes.

"Repungmalevolent?" Charlie repeated the word, confused. "Is that a word?"

"No." Tails and Torques said in unison.

"It didn't need to be until we had so much evil inside this one room!" Eggman replied. "Anyway, you're all here because we all have something in common."

Willy smiled. "A love of fine cheeses?"

"Well, yes, but besides that, we all share a mutual enemy: Sonic the Hedgehog, and his rodent friends!" Eggman comment. "We must stop them before they destroy us all!"

Silver raised a brow in disbelief. "I don't think Sonic and the others are killers."

"Not unless the rodent reaches his dark form." Eggman pointed out.

"Which will never happen." Sonic immediately stated. He himself already has a dark form, he doesn't want his twin to have one either. Unless.... he does.

The scene changes to Amy's house, where everyone is gathered in the living room with boxes on the table.

"Thanks for helping me put together my Björnvaalden bookcase. I got it from that foreign build-your-own furniture store!" Amy greeted, wearing a pink, filly apron imprinted with a toad stool.

"That's it?" Tails wonders, examining the cardboard box.

"Is she talking about, Ikea?" Silver asked.

Blaze shook her head. "I don't think the island they're in is European, Silver."

"Ah, you'd be surprised at how much they can fit in one little box!" Amy grinned.

Sonic walked up and opened the small box, and boards of all shapes and sizes shot out from it, burying Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles.

Torque blinked. "Ummm, how???"

"No idea. But why on earth did she pick the most complicated bookcase?" Lilac questioned.

Back at Eggman's Lair.

"Mm-mm! These are some fine cheeses!" Willy said, eating a cheese. "But where are the crackers?" T.W. Baker asked.

"I wanted everything to be perfect!" Eggman snarled, holding a tray of cheese. He sighed. "Keep calm, everyone. I'll send Orbot out to the store. Whew! Crisis averted."

"So this is why you called me here..."

Shadow widened his eyes at that voice. "Is that...

Sonic was shocked too. "...who I think it is???"

Eggman turned around and saw who it was; Shadow the Hedgehog is revealed. "Shadow?!?" Most of the audience chorused in surprise.

"He's actually here!" Tails pointed out.

"Oh my god!!" Amy shrieked.

Rouge blinked, dumbfounded. "Don't tell me that Shadow of all people is joining Eggman to fight Sonic."

"What??" Was all Shadow said as he was still taken back by all this. Is this why Theo and the others had to let Cream, Maria and Cosmo leave?? So they couldn't... see him?? Why???? Is he a villain in this episode. Well from the sound of his voice; he isn't.

Eggman gasped in shock, dropping his try on the floor. "Shadow the Hedgehog! Hey everybody, look! Shadow's here! I knew springing for those embossed invitations would impress!"

Eggman groaned. "I can't believe my double actually invited Shadow."

"I can't believe why double would actually show up for your plans." The Ultimate Life-Form added.

"Who's he?" Weasel Bandit asked. "He's only the second most popular character in the whole canon!" Eggman answered, excitedly.

"Excuse me??" Shadow snarled. Him??? Second??? Behind faker??? You know what, he was glad that Cream and Maria weren't here. He can't wait to see his double beat the living crap out of Sonic.

"If Sonic's the most popular character, why is Eggman being so humble about it?" Lilac questioned.

Sonic snorted. "I think Eggy's being a fanboy of Shadow."

"Like hell." Shadow and Eggman groused in unison.

Eggman cleared his throat. "Let me get you a chair, Mr. Shadow!" Sonic coughed with his laughter. "Mr. Shadow?! Oh my god!"

Knuckles shook his head. "He's enjoying this too much."

"Who? Sonic or Eggman?" Tails asked.

"Both."

Eggman pulls the chair out from under Dave, sending him crashing to the floor. He then pushes the chair over to Shadow for him to sit on.

Shadow inwardly thought that the doctor was losing his mind. He's treating him like he's royalty. He would rather listen to Faker's jokes.

Shadow crossed his arms. "Hm. I prefer to stand." Eggman chuckled sheepishly. "Of course. You rogue, you! I like standing, too! Everyone, on your feet!" The villains stand up while groaning. "Where were we? I'll just start at the beginning."

"He's overdoing it!" Amy exclaimed.

Scourged scoffed. "We're wasting our time for this?? Even the Shadow looks like he doesn't want to be there with the fat doctor."

"I hope the ending is good." Fiona grumbled.

Back with Sonic and the others, Tails is studying the instructions, with Sonic and Knuckles glancing over his shoulders. "There are no words, just pictures!"

"Just like the novel I'm writing!" Knuckles grinned, grabbing the paper from the kitsune.

"He writes a novel?" Torque asked.

"Probably about an echidna writing his own novel." Spade guessed.

Knuckles nodded. "That sounds about right."

Knuckles elaborates vaguely and starts to turn the map as he tries to make out something "Hmm... the plot's there, but the characters are all over the place."

"He's breaking the fourth wall. By accident." Sonic said.

Scourge rolled his eyes. "Unlike."

The scene changes back to Eggman and the villains.

"What the-?! Back to Eggman?! What was the point of all of that?!!" Scourged shouted in anger.

"And so, with my superior leadership, and your blind loyalty, we'll finally be rid of those meddling muskrats!" The human genius declared.

"I doubt that." The only person who would give his twin a run for his money would be Shadow. And he doesn't even want to join Eggman.

Eggman looks at Shadow with anticipation.

The black hedgehog barely reacts.

"I would be speechless too." Shadow admitted.

"But you're saying you were speechless." Silver pointed out.

Shadow sighed. "I'm saying that I'm speechless to that scene."

"But you saying that you're speechless means that you got something." Blaze joined the conversation. "Therefor, you're not."

The black hedgehog was trying to keep his cool. "I'm saying if I were there I would be speechless, not that I did have anything to say when looking at it from an outside perspective!"

"Knowing you, you probably have something snarky to say there." Sonic grinned. "So I highly doubt that you would be speechless."

Shadow had enough. "Okay that's it. Just shut the hell up and watch the damn show already."

Willy frowned. "Hey! How come you're calling the shots? I'm the best villain here!" He protested. "I spent more time in the pen than all of you combined!"

"Just because you've spent your time in prison, doesn't automatically mean you're a villain." Gong comment.

"Most people would do bad things for the greater good, causing themselves to be locked away." Neera added, memories flooding her head.

"All that proves is that you're the best at getting caught!" Charlie stated.

"What we need is an educated fellow." T.W. Baker declared. "An organized leader who knows how to keep hotheads like you under control and maintain parliamentary procedure." "Objection!" The tree spy called out. "Anyone can learn parliamentary procedure."

"Point of order! "Objection" is courtroom terminology, not parliamentary!"

"Sustained!"

Anti-Tails rolled his eyes. "Objection to all of you. Because neither of you is worthy to become the leader of the group."

"They don't even have the brains to even lead at all." Fiona added.

Dave gave a plain look. "As anyone with even a cursory knowledge of the sci-fi classic Battleforce Galaxia knows, our leadership needs a young, inexperienced teenager who's destined for glory, lest you want to repeat Admiral Glork's mistakes.

Eggman growled. You're losing focus! Remember, I'm the one who called this meeting!"

"And great job, by the way." Weasel Bandit remarked, sarcastically. He gestures to his cup. "Who picked out this stemware? It's barely worth stealing!" He quickly swipes it and sticks it in his robe."

"But you steal it anyway because... kleptomania." Tails sighed.

Everyone begins to argue over who the leader should be.

The human doctor clenched his fist. "Come on, Eggman. Get it together. I know what this group needs!"

"It needs you to call off the meeting?" Eggman groused as the scene changes again.

"Time for some team-building exercises! Fall backwards into your buddy's arms and let them catch you. This is called a "trust fall."

"Trust fall?" Milla repeated, confused. "But this is a villains group. They'll probably just let you fall on the ground on purpose."

"Knowing Eggman, he probably won't let that happen. Since he needs them to take on Sonic." Lilac mention.

Weasel Bandit is caught by Tree Spy. Charlie catches Dave. T.W. Barker catches Willy. Stuntbear 1 catches Stuntbear 2.

Shadow sighed in annoyance. "The plot isn't even going anywhere. If I was there, I won't even both-"

Shadow doesn't even try to catch Dr. Eggman, who crashes to the ground.

"...oh." Shadow said. blinking.

Sonic smiled. "It seems they were more on point than they give you credit for, Shads." "You gotta give it to the writers." Andy praised.

The doctor quickly stands back up. "My fault. Should have given you a heads up. That was on me!"

The scene changes again.

"You never know what's going to happen on the battlefield. Which is why it's important to think on your feet." Eggman stated. "This is a little game I used to play with my old improv troupe, The Gigglesnorts. It's called "Zip Zap Zop."

Amy giggled. "Zip Zap what?!!"

Sonic chuckled. "I'm guessing that's where the name came from."

"We pass around an imaginary ball, saying "zip," "zap," or "zop" as we go. I'll start." Eggman passes the "ball" to T.W. Barker. "Zip!"

The dog catches the "ball," and passes it to Shadow. "Zap!"

Shadow just stands there, doing nothing.

"Ehh... that's to you, Shadow. You wanna zap that one over to Dave? Or maybe zap that bad boy back to me?" Eggman laughs nervously. "Heh... no?"

"Tch."

"He pfted it! We'll count that. Great job, Shadow!"

Shadow loses his patience. "Silence, fool!"

The other villains gasp.

"STOP GASPING!!!" Rosy shouted in annoyance.

"I suffered your presence long enough." Shadow retorted as he prepares to leave.

"Thank god." Shadow sighed in relief that his twin was leaving that hellhole. "Finally." Scourge mumbled.

"He could've said this from the start." Spade mention. "Honestly, why bother even showing up."

"I'm surprised he lasted this long without rampaging." Rouge added, impressed.

Eggman didn't want that to happen. "N-no! Don't go! We're not done bonding yet!"

"Bonding??" Eggman really thought that his twin had seriously lost his marbles. Shadow didn't even do anything throughout the whole thing and he calls that bonding??

"We were gonna roast wieners and play flashlight tag."

"You saying that makes me wanna hurl." Shadow said, flatly.

"We're making history here! A collection of villains like this has never been assembled before!" Shadow turns around, facing Eggman. "I see no villains, just some fools whose only ability is wasting time!"

"Took the words right out of my mouth." Scourge said.

"That's something, isn't it?" Eggman asked.

"No, not really." And with that, Shadow teleported out of Eggman's base, making the doctor slumped his shoulders sadly and sighed.

Sonic widened his eyes. "I thought you said there aren't any Chaos Emeralds in their universe!"

Theo tried to come up with an excuse. "There aren't any... it's his own special power."

"Say what??" Shadow was confused by this. His twin teleported without a Chaos Emerald?? ...That's impressive. He felt jealous.

The scene changes back to Sonic and the gang. They were gathered about the scattered pieces of wood, not a step closer to finishing.

Amy glanced up from her pile of wood. "How do we tell the difference between Side A and Side C?" She questioned, confusedly.

"Side A should have one more L-Bracket." Tails explained.

"You mean T-Bracket, right?"

"Uuhh..."

"Even Tails thinks the instructions are complicated." Milla said.

"Tails, so help me, if you've been confusing L-Brackets and T-Brackets this whole time...!" Sonic hisses, starting to grow agitated.

Sonic frowned. "What's his problem? It's not like he understands it better than anyone else."

"Who used all the D-Screws?!" Sticks asked, holding the manual. "All I have left are J-Knobs, which are worthless! And has anyone seen Back Panel G?"

Knuckles, who was on his hands and knees beside the wood pile, announced. "Uhh...I think I found it." The echidna raised his arm, sowing the Back Panel G stuck to his arm.

"Is that board nailed to your arm?!" Carol yelled in shock.

"How is he not hurt from that?!" Cory added.

"More importantly, how is it stuck to his arm?!?" Sonia questioned, horrified.

Knuckles sighed. "I don't think we're gonna figure it out. Besides, it'll come off eventually.

Knuckles grumbled as he tried to pull the board off his arm, but it seemed glued shut. He grabs it, but it ends up snapping in half.

Sonic groaned in annoyance. "Great! Now we have to go back to the store and exchange the whole thing! Come on, let's pack it up."

The gang tried to fit all the pieces back inside the box, but it didn't fit. The guys share an awkward look.

Manic chuckled. "I feel like god is playing tricks on them."

"As expected, this series doesn't even know how the world works." Sonia giggled.

Back to Eggman.

"No fair! Sonic always beats me!" Eggman wines like a baby.

Sonic chuckled. "He doesn't have to cry about it."

"But he's not wrong. You do beat him all the time, Sonic." Tails reminded.

"With Shadow on our squad, we had a real chance! He's so cool and edgy!" "Damn straight." Shadow comment.

Rouge giggled. "I remember the time Knuckles was edgy too." She glances at the echidna. "And now he's my adorable little echidna."

Knuckles snarled.

"If standing in the corner while everybody else has fun makes you cool, then I must have been the coolest guy at my junior prom!" Dave said. "And we all know that's not true! So I say nuts to Shadow! He's not a team player like the rest of us." Willy protested.

"Well screw you too." Shadow growled, not liking how his twin is being insulted. The walrus is lucky he wasn't still there, otherwise he would be laying in a pool of blood.

"With Doctor Eggman's superior leadership skills and our blind loyalty, we can do whatever we set our evil minds to." The bandit declared.

"D'aww, was that a callback to my earlier speech? You guys..." Eggman smiled at everyone. He then put on a straight face. "All right, team! Gather round! Here's the plan..."

"Finally." Scourge grumbled.

The scene changes back to Sonic and the others at the Village Center.

"Back to Sonic?! WILL THIS SHOW JUST MAKE UP HIS MIND?!!"

Sonic flinched from the green hedgehog's outburst. "Jeez Scourge, take it easy."

"Shut the fuck up!!"

Sonic studied the instructions. "We got a brand new Blork...splargin. Let's just build it right here."

"And when we mess up, we can get yet another one! Great idea, Sonic!" Tails praises.

"That's why I'm the leader." Sonic grinned. "Now let's dominate this cheap piece of furniture! ...To the best of our limited ability."

Montage: Doctor Eggman walks Willy through how to fly one of his machines. Amy tries to drill something, but ends up going into a wild spin instead. Eggman teaches Charlie to blast targets of Team Sonic on a firing range. Tails is seen welding something, which is revealed to be marshmallows. The stuntbears roll on two Ball Bots, to the applause of the other villains.

While this was happening Scourge was freaking out because the scene keeps changing over and over and over. He eventually calms down when it stops.

Carol eyed the green hedgehog. "Is he okay?"

Fiona patted her boyfriend's head. "He's fine."

The team gathered together around Sonic who clutched the crumpled paper. "Welp, we're out of parts and instructions. I think we're done." Sonic states.

Simultaneously, the gang stare over at the results of their work... a terrible looking mishmash of pieces.

"Great work, team," Amy notes sarcastically.

"That's one interesting bookshelf." Torque hummed.

"That thing doesn't resemble a bookcase in the slightest." Spade mumbled.

At that right moment, Eggman's robots appeared. The doctor smirked down at them. "Did somebody call for a dramatic entrance?"

"Nope, you needed dramatic music to make it more dramatic." Manic says.

"Tails, get us an aerial survey! We'll take him out from down here." Sonic ordered. The fox nodded and leaps into action. The team jumps back as Giant Robot smashes his fist down, then Eggman begins to fire lasers.

Tails shows up flying in his plane near Giant Robot, who gets distracted and waves its huge hand, trying to swat him away. That is until a laser misses the kit and it turns out to be Willy Walrus, flying inside Eggman's Moth Bot.

"Bogey on my tail. Gonna try and shake him. Tails says in his Communicator then swoops off with Willy in pursuit.

Giant Robot fires a searing laser to which the team has to run from when they see a Weasel Bandit running off with Lady Walrus's purse.

"He stole my purse!" Lady Walrus cried. "My baby! ...Pictures."

Sticks and Amy ran after the bandit, leaving Sonic and Knuckles to deal with Giant Robot. As they worked together avoiding Eggman's laser and his robot, Tree Spy is watching them through his binoculars. He then uses flags to give a signal. T.W. Barker swoops in with Octopus Bot and attacks an ice cream stand, sending the patrons scattering.

Sonic glanced at Knuckles. "Knuckles, that one's all you." The echidna nodded and ran off, leaving Sonic against Eggman and Giant Robot.

Eggman snickered down at Sonic. "Looks like your team is stretched a bit thin, you periwinkle pipsqueak!"

"I can take you one-on-one any day, Egghead!" Sonic replied.

"Who said anything about one-on-one?" Eggman hints cryptically and the next moment, Charlie charges in the battlefield, followed by Motobugs and Bee Bots.

The blue hero stared at the incoming onslaught with wide eyes. "You've got to be kidding me..." He moaned.

Tails is still trying to evade Willy, without much success. Amy and Sticks struggle to fend off the Stunt Bears and Dave. Amy gets hit by a ball bot. Sticks kicks one away, but gets a burger to the face. Knuckles punches Octopus Bot, but gets splattered with ink and smacked away by Barker. Sonic gets caught by the explosion of one of Giant Robot's missiles and is knocked away as well.

Meanwhile, Sonic charges at Giant Bot, but was unexpectedly caught by the explosion of one of its huge missiles, being thrown back. The blue blur grunts as he lands on his back a few distance away.

"Looks like Eggman is turning the tables around." Tails said, concerned.

"Not for long." Sonic protested. The show wasn't over yet.

"It's working! The plan's actually working!" Eggman cries excitedly.

Sonic gets on his feet and notices the bookcase mishmash and smiles as he got an idea. Running over to it, he waves at Giant Robot. "Over here, you oversized can opener!"

Giant Robot tries to smash the blue hedgehog, but he jumps on the other side of the bookcase and is catapulted into Charlie's Mech. The suit starts to fizzle and it affects Giant Robot, this resulted in a short-circuiting ending with the Robot shutting down.

"NO!" Eggman cried in anger.

Sonic spun up to Eggman, jumping on his Eggmobile, scowling. "Call off your goons, or I'll smash you into next week." He threatens.

"I'm busy next week. I mean, I could probably reschedule, but I-" Before Eggman could finish babbling, Sonic is suddenly knocked away by a red flash. He lands with a slight stumble and stares to Shadow crossing his arms, glaring down at him.

"Shadow! What are you doing?!" Amy questioned in shock and anger.

"Isn't it obvious? He's gonna defeat Sonic all on his own since Eggman couldn't do it throughout the whole season." Fiona states matter-a-fact-ly.

"I mean, he wouldn't appear since he already showed up." Anti-Tails added.

"So Sonic and Shadow are going to fight?" Tails asked, worried. "This won't end well.

Sonic scoffed. "Relax Tails. I'll be fine."

Knuckles shook his head. "No you won't."

The blue speedster glanced at him. "Excuse me?"

"Didn't Shadow beat you multiple times in the past."

"Yes. That was the past. This is now. And I'm telling you, my twin won't lose to Shadow."

Rosy giggled. "Then what are we waiting for?? Let's start the show!"

Shadow turned to Eggman with a scowl. "Pathetic. Even with all this help, you still couldn't defeat Sonic." He sneered.

"Well to be fair, Eggman wasn't done yet." Marine pointed out. "Sonic steal hasn't won."

"He was about to when Shadow interrupted him." Blaze remarked.

"And Shadow is about to teach Eggman how to fight seriously." Silver added.

"This is the closest the show has for being good." Neera said.

Sonic and Shadow instantly leap at the other, both performing a spin dash and bouncing off each other, landing on their feet a distance gap between them, glaring at the other.

Eggman seemed pretty excited about this. "It's happening. Shadow has finally joined Team Eggman! I'm geeking out here!" He squeals.

Shadow was annoyed by the doctor and knocked the Eggmobile away. He and Sonic continue to fight in their fierce battle, bouncing off each other around the Village Center, with Doctor Eggman trying to keep up, acting more of a hindrance to both sides.

"Need any help, Shadow? Okay, you've got this one." Eggman nearly dodges Sonic and Shadow as they continue to fight. "Ooh, ha ha ha, just missed ya. Allow me to... uh... okay. Just tag me in when you're ready."

Lilac stared in awe. "Those guys are pretty impressive in combat."

Torques was slightly worried if the doctor intervened. "Ummm, he should probably get out of the way."

Neera sighed. "His excitement is making him reckless to join that fight."

Shadow stops his fight and growls at Eggman. "Out of the way, you buffoon." That slight distraction allows Sonic to nail Shadow, launching him through the wall of a house.

Sonic smirked. "Wow Shadow, you're easily distracted in that dimension."

"That was a cheap shot and you know it." The black striped hedgehog hissed. "I wouldn't have been distracted if Eggman didn't get out of the way."

The smirk didn't fade as Sonic. "Oh sure, blame someone else for your mistake."

Shadow recovered quickly and zoomed back towards Sonic. He grabbed Sonic by the scarf, pulling him into the air.

Shadow glanced at Sonic. "And the mistake you've made is underestimating me."

Sonic and Shadow end up flying right between Tails and Willy, making the walrus stop short. Eggman flies up besides him. "Excuse me! I'm with Shadow." He proceeds to follow the two speedy hedgehogs.

Shadow attempts to slam Sonic down, but the blue hero manages to break away and lands safely. Shadow lands on the "bookshelf," crushing it completely.

"Hey! We worked all day on that!" Sonic protests in offense.

"You got important things to worry about." Gong pointed out.

"Your shoddy craftsmanship brings shame on all hedgehog kind. And for that, you should perish." Shadow snarls darkly before disappearing, shocking Sonic. Shadow reappears in front of him and knocks him upwards with an uppercut, disappearing again, then reappearing above Sonic, slamming down with a powerful kick that leaves Sonic in a crater.

Amy covered her mouth in shock. "Sonic!!"

"NO!!" Tails cried.

"Oh my god!!" Lilac exclaimed.

"Dang!!" Scourge laughed.

"Is he alright?!" Milla asked, worried.

"Shadow, how could you?!" Silver questioned in disbelief.

"Finally!! Something satisfying!!" Rosy cheered.

"I didn't know he was that powerful." Neera said stunned.

"That hedgehog was full of surprises." Gong said, surprised.

"Did Sonic... lose??" Blaze asked.

Sonic shook his head at everyone's words. "I didn't lose!! I was just... caught off guard."

"And??" Shadow raised a brow, not convinced. "You lost. End of story."

"You should've been dead from such impact." Eggman added.

"But wait! The show isn't over yet, right?! So let's continue, shall we?!"

"We did it! Sonic was defeated by Team Eggman!" Eggman celebrates flying in beside Shadow who stood at the edge of the crater, staring satisfaction at his defeated enemy. Eggman holds up a camera before the two of them and Shadow looks away in aggravation. "Victory selfie!"

The camera flashes, temporarily blinding Shadow.

"How the hell did I get blind from that if I didn't even look at it?!!" Shadow yelled in annoyance.

Seeing this, Sonic races up to Shadow and lay him out with an uppercut on his own. Around the same time, Tails manages to outmaneuver Willy, Amy and Sticks take out Dave and Weasel Bandit, and Knuckles rips a pair of legs off Octopus Bot, throwing one which wraps up Tree Spy.

"YEAH!" Sonic cheered, jumping up from his seat, smiling. "Take that, Shadow!"

"Well that victory was short lived." Spade said crossing his arms. "Eggman distracted Shadow and Sonic now has the upper hand."

Shadow sighed. "He only won because Eggman distracted me with that camera flashing in my twin's eye." He glanced at the blue hero. "Next time; it won't be so easy."

"Only this time, we'll be the ones to fight alongside Sonic to beat you!" Tails declared, gesturing to Knuckles, Amy and Sticks, who all nodded.

Shadow raised a brow. "So you're telling me that Sonic wouldn't beat me on his own?"

Tails blinked. "Wait what no-"

Shadow looked at Sonic. "Your friend here is saying that you can beat me without them."

Sonic glares at him. "That's not true! I don't need my friends to beat you!"

Amy widened her eyes at Sonic's words. "Are you telling us that after what we just witnessed between you and Shadow's twin, that you don't need us to help you fight him?!"

"Wh-what?! No! T-that's not what I mean!"

Scourge grinned. "So what are you saying, Sonic? You need us to fight Shadow, to prove that you're a wimp without them."

Fiona giggled. "Or that you're deserting your friends when fighting him?"

Anti-Tails chuckled. "When it comes to Eggman, Sonic doesn't regret letting his friend fight with him. But when it comes to Shadow, he tends to leave them out of it."

Rosy scoffed. "Some friend."

Sonic glared. "Will you guys shut up and watch the show so we could be done with this?!"

"I agree with the rodent." Eggman called out, losing his patience. "Be silent and watch."

Shadow scowled at Eggman. "You fool! I had him just where I wanted him!" He hisses from the floor where he had landed.

"True, but he had to intervene." Blaze notes.

"Sorry!" Eggman said nervously, sheepishly holding out his camera. "That one's on me, Shadow. Forgot to turn off the flash. The pic looks great, though, if it's any consolation."

Carol chuckled. "I love how Eggman doesn't just care that he just screwed up his own plan that he worked so hard on."

"It's like he himself doesn't care about any of this." Cory laughed.

"Enough!" Shadow growled, standing up. "How's a guy supposed to destroy his foes with dolts like you wandering around?" He then turns to Sonic. "We'll fight again soon, Sonic, but next time, on my terms."

With that, Shadow the Hedgehog teleported away.

Silver raised a brow in confusion. "If it wasn't on his to begin with, then whose were they?"

Marine nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it wasn't like he was with Eggman or anything."

Knuckles scoffed. "I think he's just making excuses."

"Watch it." Shadow snarled.

Everyone runs up to each other and does a group fist bump.

"So is no one gonna acknowledge why Shadow was there?" Jet questioned.

"Sonic was the only person at the scene." Wave pointed out. "Sure, Knuckles was a few meters away, but I doubt he caught a small glimpse of him."

Storm was confused. "But what about Tails?"

"He was too busy dealing with that Walrus."

"I'm pretty sure Sonic will tell the others about him later." Jet said.

"Great job everybody!" Amy praises.

"We may not be able to build a bookcase, but we sure as heck can clobber some creeps!" Knuckles exclaims with a grin.

"Speaking of which..." Sonic hints, everyone's unimpressed glares are dawn to Eggman behind.

Eggman smiled nervously, slowly backing up in his mobile. "Now guys, let's not point fingers about who's to blame for this little scuffle..." He tries to swoop away, but the gang runs forward.

Rosy grinned. "This should be good. Here comes the punching, and kicking, and the-"

Sonic and the others were teaching Eggman a lesson by playing volleyball, using him as the ball. "Ohh! Ow! Hey!"

Rosy frowned. "What the hell is this crap?!"

Anti-Tails furrowed his eyebrows. "Eggman literally almost defeated them all and that's teaching him a lesson?"

"Just fly away Egghead." Scourge retorted.

Fiona sighed. "At least this season is close to the end."

"Thank god." Scourge groused.

Orbot grinned at Cubot. "What a swell adventure! I sure hope there's more next year."

"Just think of all the hundreds of more stories to be told using the same eight characters and four locations. The possibilities are limitless!" Orbot added.

Sonic laughed. "The ending of the first season has to end with Orbot and Cubot breaking the fourth wall."

"Okay, I admit. That's hilarious." Tails admitted, laughing along with Sonic.

"Just to be on the safe side, maybe we should start an internet petition." Cubot said.

"If they were concerned if they needed an internet petition, that should be telling us that nobody enjoyed this." Espio notes.

"I didn't enjoy this, even if I enjoyed Shadow kicking Sonic's face in." Knuckles admitted.

"I'm gonna ignore that." Sonic grumbled.

The scene ends with Team Sonic continuing to play volleyball with the Eggmobile.

Amy smiles. "Welp, that's it for season 1."

Tails nodded. "Which means we have one more to go."

Knuckles groaned, rubbing his head. "And I'm gonna lose more brain cells.

Sonic chuckled. "You'll be the first one to have none left."

"At least it's over. Now we can finally go home." Spade said, happy that he's leaving this theater.

Lilac stretched her limbs. "I think I need a long show after this."

Shadow closed his eyes and stood up.

Sonic noticed this and asked. "You okay, Shadow?"

The black striped hedgehog nodded, his smile not leaving. "You know, I'm upset that the upset that the episode is over."

Neera looked at him like he was crazy. "Why???"

"Because, it make me wanna angry." He starts glowing red. "That I could just."

"Um guys, why is he glowing red??" Milla asked, getting scared.

Sonic backed away slowly. "Uhhh, Shadow?"

The black hedgehog ignored him and continued to glow. "That I could just..."

Eggman widened his eyes, he knew what was coming. "Oh no...

Shadow opened his eyes with a fierce look. "Chaos..."

Hearing this, Silver was taken back. "Shadow what are you-"

"Everyone take cover!!" Theo shouted, making a barrier around himself.

"BLAST!!!"

"AAAAHHHHHH!!!!" The audience ran away screaming, while some got behind cover.

*BOOOOOOOOOOM*
