Art of Chaos Control

Chapter 1: A Stranger In the Valley

It had been quite a few months after Shadow’s encounter with Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts whom he managed to defeat quite easily. The black hedgehog had to struggle still being in the deep dark forest he was in. He searched through several days, which turned into weeks and then later into months. Shadow had to rely on catching his own food, and camp out quite often before he could find a way back to civilization. Yet the black hedgehog wasn’t alone in the dark forest, in a certain mountain nearby a beast known as Dragon lay dormant in his icy prison, he could sense that a powerful item known as the Chaos Emerald was heading toward the Valley.

“Baboon” bellowed Dragon as he rose up to his primate minion, “I have sense there is a powerful item that I would like to acquire that’ll be able to free myself from my icy prison.”

“And what would that be master?” asked Baboon.

“The Chaos Emerald of course” replied Dragon, “if I swallow a Chaos Emerald with my favorite soup, I would be able to use the power of Chaos Control and be able to escape my prison for good!”

“But who the heck is carrying this Chaos Emerald you speak of, and how would our ninja monkeys know to look for?” asked Baboon.

“I will give you a small vision of what I have been meditating about for the past few months” replied Dragon.

With one breath of Dragon’s fire, an image of what appears to be Shadow the hedgehog still lost in the dark forest not far from the Valley. The ninja monkeys that were gathering for the mission studied the image of the black hedgehog.

“Well ninja monkeys, you know your mission, go get that Chaos Emerald and bring it here so that Dragon can have a feast with his favorite soup!” shouted Baboon.

“Go with them to ensure their success Baboon” ordered Dragon.

“Will do sir” replied Baboon.

Meanwhile, outside back in the deep dark forest, Shadow just about had enough being stuck in this large forest he was quite unfamiliar with. He searched endlessly for a clearing or any sign of civilization but could not find a trace of it. He also wondered if Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts were also being rebuilt by Eggman back at his base, which they were after having to read his memoirs as paper weights which Shadow made them out of.

“I don’t understand how anyone can navigate this forest” said Shadow, “even I am not able to find a way out even with my Chaos Control.”

“Well, let us fellow natives of the forest give you a helping hand” said an unfamiliar voice.

As Shadow turned around, he noticed Baboon along with several ninja monkeys ready for a good fight.

“You, hedgehog, give us your Chaos Emerald, and you shall not be harmed” said Baboon.

“And you would be?” asked Shadow.

“I’m Baboon, and this is my ninja monkey army, either you surrender the Chaos Emerald to me or face our wraith!” laughed Baboon.

“Bring it on then” replied Shadow, “it’s been awhile since I kicked any behinds lately.”

“Monkeys, charge!” ordered Baboon.

The ninja monkeys leaped toward Shadow, as they attempted to managed to knock down the black hedgehog. Yet the black hedgehog was quite crafty, as he managed to spin into a ball of spikes and began to hit at all the ninja monkeys that were coming toward him. The ninja monkeys didn’t see what was coming toward them, as Shadow knocked them all down like flies.

“Very impressive display” said Baboon, “but you’re going to need more than speed to get pass me.”

Shadow then charged at Baboon, and gave him a good punch right in the stomach. Yet Baboon instead, managed to grab Shadow and throw him across the ground, which the black hedgehog then slammed his face right into a nearby tree. The black hedgehog eventually recovered and charged again at Baboon, yet the primate was quite crafty, as the black hedgehog was speeding toward him, Baboon simply tripped him, sending him crashing into some mud.

“Now if you don’t mind” laughed Baboon as he grabbed the Chaos Emerald which Shadow was holding in his inventory, “I would take this if you don’t mind.”

“You’re making a grave, grave mistake” said Shadow.

“No, it’s you who’s made the mistake” laughed Baboon.

As Shadow turns around, a ninja monkey holding a stick whacks Shadow right in the chin, knocking the black hedgehog unconscious.

“Okay, we got what we came for, let’s move out” laughed Baboon.

While poor Shadow lay unconscious on the forest floor, a few mysterious shadowy figures hovered over the black hedgehog, and the scene instead turns back to Eggman’s lab where Scratch, Grounder and Coconuts were finally rebuilt back to their old selves.

“Let that be a lesson to you” said Eggman to the three robots, “don’t screw up or you’ll end up like paper weights. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to start on another book of mine, which is going to be about my many inventions against a certain pesky blue hedgehog. So don’t bother me!”

Eggman then heads back to his office and slams the door.

“We can still get that black hedgehog back” said Scratch.

“Are you sure about that?” asked Grounder, “He really did a number on us.”

“I don’t care about what he did to us” added Coconuts, “I want that black hedgehog to pay for what he did to us, spending two, three months as paper weights was humiliating!”

“Bawahaha, now you’re talking” replied Scratch, “let’s grab another hovercraft and head back to that forest, we’ll take quite a number of Eggman’s weapons with us too!”

As the three gathered whatever hi-tech weapons they could find, back to a certain Valley, Shadow the hedgehog was finally waking up from his ordeal. When he finally woke up, he found what seem to be a large fat panda right in front of him with other members of the Valley.

“Greetings stranger” said Master Panda, “I am known around these parts as Master Panda, what brings you to our fair Valley?”

“I think that I don’t even believe it, but I was jumped by some ninja monkeys and a baboon” said Shadow as he slowly recovered.

“Easy there” said Master Panda, “Rabbit, Fox, Skunk, make our guest comfortable until he heals from his injuries, the rest of you who are able can go on patrol.”
