Station Square. A bustling metropolis. Home to hundreds of thousands of sentients. The Dark Overlord felt very happy. He had a whole city to play with. He was cloaked and hooded, and very, very happy. In a few minutes, the sentients at the "news agency" would discover the recording he had left there. They would play it for everyone to see, and he could then begin his plans in ernest. After all, they deserved fair warning. He stood beneath a "Jumbo-Tron", awaiting the video.

In the huge crowd of happy people, a scared man hustled through. He had had a black backpack and black shades with black messy hair. He wore a red shirt with green stripes with brown pants. He had a vary afraid look on his face. Chasing him was Shadow the Hedgehog. The black hedgehog wasn't chasing him in the croud. He was chasing him in a diffent kind of way. (Sorry I explained that part from the camera. I just wanted to make a good reason for Shadow to be there.)
Shadow looked down, through a window, on the crowd from where he was. He was in a helicopter that was hovering above them all. "This fool dare try to run away from G.U.N." he said to himself. Shadow turned his head to the person that he was sitting next to. It was a G.U.N. agent that was controlling the aircraft.
"Are you sure you don't want a parachute, Agent Shadow?" the agent asked. Parachute? He thought that the agent was very pathetic. He was working with a fool.
"I'll pass." the black hedgehog replied with his usual dark tone. Shadow stood up on the floor of the helicopter. "Here I go." he thought. Shadow quickly opened the door and jumped out. He looked around while he was droping down. He saw a high enough building to drop safely on. He quickly preformed a homing attack in air towards the building. Shadow was now right above the roof. He prepared for landing.
He landed on the building with a thud and instantly broke out into a sprint. Shadow's eyes were locked on to the run away. The man took a turn then another turn through the streets. Shadow followed him while staying on the roof tops. He saw his chance. The man stopped to breath right next to a Jumbo-Tron. "This is it." he thought as he stared at the man. Shadow jumped in the air and preformed a homing attack. Shadow aimed his attack on the man. It was fast thanks to the wind. He felt the quick breeze as he hit the man. The man landed on the dirty streets. The force slid the man out of his backpack.
Shadow watched as the backpack slid to the side of the street. Shadow walked over to it and zipped it open. A backpack filled with cash. "My mission is complete." he thought. He turned his head to see the witness. A black cloaked figure.
"Hmm..." he thought. "I don't have time for this." The black hedgehog started to walk away with the backpack filled with cash in his hand.

The Jumbo-Tron turned on, and the "newscaster"s began talking rapidly.
"Attention Station Square. We have just found a tape containing a threat to our planet from Dr. Eggman and others. We'll play it now." The screen was covered in static for a moment, then the tape began to play. It showed Dr. Eggman, as well as a large spiked turtle looking creature, and an old man with a wild hairdo, and crazy eyes. Then, of course, there was the Overlord. "Hello, citizens of Mobius. As I am sure you all know, I am Dr. Eggman. You don't know these other three. Bowser, Dr. Wiley, and the Cloaked Man. They have helped my build a brand new weapon: and orbiting space station equipped with a cannon that makes the ARK look like a child's toy. I am now the King of Mobius, by right of the power of my cannon!"
Bowser cut in: "YOUR cannon?! Who said anything about YOUR cannon? This thing belongs to all of us!"
Dr. Wiley nodded, and said, "After all, doctor, we all had a hand in building it."
Dr. Eggman turned to them and shushed them. "Be quiet, I'm trying to be threatening!"
The cloaked figure spoke up. "Oh would you three shut up?! You bicker worse than children!" The figure turned to the camera. "Listen up. This world is now owned by Dr. Eggman. Any attempts to resist will be met with deadly force. Any military bases that try to mobilize will be destroyed. That is all."
In the street, the Overlord chuckled to himself. Those fools were in for a big surprise...
(I have run out of time, I will be back on Monday. Post your reply, and I'll be here by 10 am Eastern.)

Shadow let out a sigh at the sight of them bicker. "Fools. Do they know who they are messing with. I know the doctor does, I do not know about the others." he said to himself. His eyes widened at the "Cloked Man". He just saw him. He turned his head to the right and saw the figure chuckling to himself. Shadow opened up a small pocket on the backpack. His eyes met a G.U.N. tracking device. G.U.N. weren't fools. There was also a communication device. He held down the device's button.
"Pick the bag up. I have business to take care of." he said. He let go of the device and zipped it back up. He let go of the backpack and faced the figure.
"I believe your name isn't the Cloked Man." he asked the cloaked man in his dark tone.

The Overlord turned to face the sentient Hedgehog. "Oh, so you noticed. I was wondering if anyone would be intelligent enough to make the connection." He chuckled. "But, is there anything you can do about it? No. You don't have the strength to challenge me." The Overlord surreptitiously sampled the heart of the sentient, and mentally prepared himself. This being would surely attack, no doubt about it.

"So what is your true intentions of this of what you call this, "plan"?" the black hedgehog asked. "I can see that you are the intelegent one of the group."
Shadow thought about attacking, to end it before it got out of hand, but he wanted to see how this would turn out. "Surely, the group's members will kill each other in the process." he thought. "That would be amusing." So the Ultimate Life Form waited for a response.

"My plan? Simple really. I wish to increase the population of my Kingdom, and what better way than to forcibly add hearts to it?" The Overlord snapped his fingers, and a puddle of darkness appeared and reared up. It solidified into a Heartless Shadow copy, with the only difference being coloration. The Heartless was solid black, with glowing yellow eyes. It also gripped a dark grey crystal. (copy Emerald) "I think I will start with yours." The Shadow Heartless lauched itself at the real one.  |

(How strong is the heartless?)
"Kingdom of what?" he asked the cloked man. The cloked figure created a puddle of darkness, then he solidified it into a black copy of the Ultimate Life Form. He also had a dark grey crystal... A chaos emerald. "How could he have a chaos emerald?" he thought. He turned his head to the right, he felt there was power around. He saw another gray emerald right next to a trash can. "Two same emeralds, that is impossible." (I know it is a coincidence, but I have to make it official that he has one). Shadow quickly dashed over to the emerald.
"I think I will start with yours." The black copy lauched itself at the real one. Right before the copy got to him, Shadow picked up the emerald.
"Chaos Spear!" he yelled quickly right before the copy got to him. A bolt of lightning apeared in his hands. Shadow shot it at the copy with great force.

(Extremly weak in terms of health, but for each one you defeat, two take its place, for a maximum of 16. They also learn from each of Shadow's attacks, and will copy him.)
The Heartless was destroyed by the blast, but two more took its place. Both held Copy Emeralds, and both attacked, one launching itself at Shadow, the other blasting off a Dark Chaos Spear. The Overlord laughed loudly, enjoying himself. So entertaining! The Overlord began sifting through Shadow's memory, gently so as to not attract attention.

"So, I have to use a different move, each time. Otherwise they will copy me." Shadow said in his dark tone. "Very interesting."
Shadow jumped up and performed a double homing attack on each. Each one was destroyed.
"What next?" he asked. He was prepared for battle.

Four more Heartless attempted to appear, but each vanished. The Overlord was getting bored, so he tried a different tactic. He attacked directly. He snapped his fingers, and a pair of hand scythes appeared. He grabbed them both, and leapt at Shadow, intending the reap him and claim his powerful heart...

Shadow wasn't prepared for his next attack. It looked like he was going to finish off Shadow. "I have to do something quick!" he thought. He turned his head quickly around to see G.U.N. picking up the backpack by truck. Shadow rose his chaos emerald quickly and yelled, "Chaos Control!". Right before the man's sythe reached him, he vanished. Shadow re apeared inside the truck, and took a machine gun, and then re appeared back outside, behind the man who tried to attack. Shadow quickly pulled the trigger and watched the bullets go through it's head.
"Apparently you do not understand my powers." he said while shooting his target.

The Overlord felt the bullets pass though him. He stood tall, turned towards Shadow and laughed. "You think that will harm me? Me, the Dark Overlord? Puh-lease. Power? You call those little tricks power? I'll show you power." With that, he reached mentally into the Dark Realm, and pulled out a heart. It appeared in his hand, where it shined brilliantly for a moment. Then darkness covered the heart, and it fell to the ground. The darkness solidified into a human shape. A young girl... Someone Shadow knew very well...
(feel familiar?)

(Yes.)
"The Dark Overlord. That is all I wanted to know at the moment." the black hedgehog replied. The Overlord then pulled out a heart like a magician. Darkness then covered the heart and turned into... Maria.
"What are you?" Shadow asked slowly with his usual dark tone.

The girl stood slowly, and shook her head. "Where... where am I?" She then spotted Shadow. "Shadow? How... How is it possible? I... I launched you from the ARK..." The Dark Overlord stepped back, and immediately set to work on the Darkness in Shadow's heart. He gathered the sadness and rage and the dark emotions the hedgehog kept locked away, and forced them to the surface. If the Overlord had possessed the means, he would have smiled. My my, it's dark in that heart. Perhaps I could use him...

"Maria... Are you real?" Shadow asked. It could be a trick by this Overlord. Shadow turned his head so that he could see the trickster.
"Explain who you are." the black hedgehog asked in his dark tone.
"It looks like you are a mind reader." he assumed. "It also looks like you want to something from me. Otherwise you would deal with me yourself, instead of sending Maria."

"Oh, goody, a semi-intellient sentient!" The Overlord laughed. "I take it that this girl is very important to you." It was not a question. Maria turned to the Overlord. "Am I real? Is this a nightmare?" "Be silent, and I will explain.Now, what you say is true. I do want you for my plans, so I am using her. This girl entered my realm 50 years ago, killed by some brutal humans. The very humans you now work for, in the irony of ironies. Now, only I hold the power to restore her life. If you wish to have her returned to humanity, instead of the dark half life she possesses now, you will have to obey me. And before you decide to just leave and try to figure it out for yourself, you need to know that you cannot do it alone, no matter how much power you think you possess. You do not have the knowledge or the strength to do what must be done to return her life. So, creature, will you... assist me?" (I swear, if this had background music, you would be hearing this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbpwSw3uXkE...In fact... Screw it, I'm adding it to the top!) |

(Yeah, pretty good background music.)
Shadow listened to every word that the Overlord said. Bring her back to life? Is that possible? Shadow thought to himself, "This doesn't make sense. This might be a trick to just get me to help him. He might not fill his part of the bargain."
"Alright. I have a feeling that you would trick me in the future. I have a feeling that you won't carry out your part in the deal with those other three. You must be planning a way to betray them, or did you already have? That isn't important now though. I will do what Maria wants." he told the Overlord with his dark tone. He turned his head over to Maria. "Maria, tell me what I should do. If he is telling you what to say, tell me. Don't lie to me. Tell me the truth. Should I assist him?"

The Overlord gestured her forward, then dominated her mind. She was his to control, though she showed no outward change. As if something as simple as love could keep him from ruling his own. This sentient has much to learn about me. "Shadow, I want to be alive again. I don't like the Darkness. Please, do as he says." Without relinquishing control, the overlord then spoke. "If I felt the need to harm you, I would simply kill you now and be done with it. I do not betray those who do not betray me. Now, the girl has spoken. Will you join me?"

The black hedgehog listened to what Maria had just said. He didn't know if she said that or the Overlord, but he didn't want to risk it. He turned around to face the Overlord. The Ultimate Life Form then simply nodded his head.
"You must know that I have limits, Overlord..." he said with his dark tone as he pointed his finger at him. "I will not cross them... Now, what is my mission...?"
