"writing": "[center]Nega’s Revenge:\nVol. 1 - Chaos Control[/center]\n\n[center]Prologue - McGuffin\n[/center]\n“OOOOOHhohohohoho!”\n\nThe familiar chortle echoed through the night sky of the Sol Empire.\n\nA round, silver device hovered in the air. “At last, I shall have my revenge, you foul feline.” Dr. Eggman Nega gazed upon what he saw as a stain on his existence: The Sol Empire’s Imperial Palace, or the future location of Eggman Land. Only a few hours ago, Blaze the Cat had gone out for another adventure. “Foolish child, running around without any royal guards.” The rotund man raised his hand to stroke his fine, grey mustache. “Leaving your palace unattended and unguarded. HA!” He grasped the throttle of his vehicle. “All I need now is to run inside and steal your Emeralds.”\n\nBefore he could thrust forward, a portal opened a few yards away in mid-air. Dark and blood red, it seemed to swallow the sky around it. It stole Nega’s attention, intriguing him. What was this thing? This marvel of space-time defiance? He didn’t get his answer. In the center of it, something gleamed like the stars. Nega’s overly large gut was telling him to go for it. [i]Gun it. [/i]He slammed his foot on the accelerator, the Egg Mobile shooting through the skies like a bullet. Whatever it was, it would be his. But what was the portal? Or was it a black hole? He didn’t dare linger. He reached out with his gloved hand, long fingers ready to grab whatever was in the epicenter of this rip in space. \n\n“Almost there!” Time seemed to slow, the deep blue sky turning blood red as he approached at a crawl. “MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!” Nega shouted. His black coat with yellow trim flapped behind him as he dramatically pulled a lever on his control console. He jerked forward and grasped the object in the middle of the hole. The sky seemed to pixelate, entering a dark, lifeless void. \n\nWithout warning, his brain was flooded with images. He heard voices and sounds all in one screaming blast. The taste of copper flooded his mouth. A burning sensation stung his hand, but he couldn’t let go. Whatever this object was, it was altering his very existence. “No…” he whispered through the voices. “It can’t be.” Terrible purpose filled him. His eyebrows furrowed. This… thing that he had discovered was the key - the key to revenge against Sonic and his friends. “I’ll get that Hedgehog!” He cackled with laughter. Evil, despicable, outright hateful laughter. Plans within plans, within even more plans, began to form. He grasped the now-glowing object in his hands, understanding its powers and history. “Another failure by my dear blockhead, Ivo. I shall succeed where you have consistently blundered.” With a brilliant flash of crimson, he vanished.\n\n\n\n\n[center]Ch. 1 - Babysitting[/center]\n\n“Thank you, Shadow.” Vanilla stood in the doorway of her home, waiting for Shadow to park his motorcycle. “I didn’t want to leave Cream alone while I was out on my date with, uh,” she blushed, not wanting to finish her sentence. \n\n“No, that’s fine,” Shadow replied. “I understand completely.” He stood with his arms crossed. “But why didn’t you call Amy? Or Sonic?” His gruff voice wasn’t as stand-offish as usual. When it came to Cream and Vanilla, he tried to be more polite as of late.\n\n“Oh, I tried, believe me.” Vanilla sighed, holding her purse despairingly. “She’s out chasing him, actually. When will she learn?”\n\n“Hmm,” Shadow grunted in agreement. “So what exactly am I doing?”\n\n“I don’t want Cream to be alone, is all. Yes, there’s Cheese, but there’s only so much you can do with a chao.” She started digging into her purse. “And Gemerl is getting repaired from our last adventure. He’s good, you know, but he’s no miracle worker.” She pulled some rings from her purse. “This should cover the evening.”\n\n“No, please.” Shadow pushed her hand away. “I don’t need them. I have plenty. You save them for your night with Vector.” Vanilla blushed. “He’s been blabbing about it,” answering the question that had just shot into Vanilla’s mind.\n\n“Oh, that silly boy,” Vanilla chuckled. “I’ll have to teach him a thing or two about discretion.” She stepped around Shadow. “If you have any questions, I have a note on the fridge.” She waved as she hopped into her car. “Thank you again, Shadow.”\n\n“Not a problem,” he said plainly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Cream.” He turned around and shut the door behind him. “I wonder if she’s gotten any bigger.” He stepped inside the quaint little home. It felt off to him. All he knew was destruction, laboratories, and other unpleasant settings. This safe, kind, and clean environment was a stark contrast to such things. “Hmm. No wonder she’s so polite all the time.” He looked at the fridge door, where a flower magnet held a large yellow paper. It read:\n\n[i]Shadow,\n\nTaking care of Cream is easy.\nI already prepared dinner for you three. It’s in the fridge.\nJust do whatever she says and you’ll have a fun time. Don’t say no, it makes her sad.\nHave her in bed by 8.\n\nVanilla.[/i]\n\nShadow opened the fridge. A glass loaf pan wrapped in tin foil sat in the middle rack, with a note taped to it with instructions on how to reheat it. “And here I thought I was thorough…” He closed the door.\n\n“Mr. Shadow?” Cream peeked around the corner into the kitchen. Her cute face was glowing with delight. “It’s been so long.” She ran toward him, arms outstretched. Shadow was caught off guard and nearly used Chaos Control to dart out of the way, but Cream wasn’t a threat. Her arms wrapped around his body. “You’re watching me tonight?”\n\n“It appears so.” Her body was so warm against his. “Um, what do I do? Do I, put you to bed and wait? I’ve never done this before.” He felt so embarrassed asking a child how to babysit. He was the ultimate lifeform! Surely, he knew something about how to nurture children. Then again, he spent most of his life in a vat. \n\n“Oh, Shadow. We’ll show you.” \n\n“We?”\n\n“Chao!” Cheese came zooming in from the other room, practically bouncing off the walls. \n\n“Oh,” Shadow realized what she meant. He hated Chaos… aside from Cheese. At least cheese wasn’t annoying and telling him what to do all the time, like a certain [i]other[/i] Chao. “Alright then.”\n\nCream led him to the living room, where a pink table was set up with plastic china. Several chairs sat around it, each occupied by a stuffie. He had some idea where this was going. “Won’t you join us for tea, Mr. Shadow?” \n\n[i]Ugh, really?[/i] He wanted nothing to do with this, but remembered the note on the fridge. “Of course,” he said, hiding his disdain.\n\n“Yay!” She pulled him along faster. “Oh, wait!” She stopped abruptly and turned to look at Shadow. “You aren’t dressed for the party yet.”\n\nShadow groaned. “I believe I am fine.” His gloves and shoes would be plenty. \n\n“No, no, no, Mr. Shadow.” Cream pulled him toward a large chest in the corner. “You aren’t dressed at all. Royal Tea Parties require fancy dresses.” She opened the red and gold chest, revealing a heaping mound of dresses and other dress-up clothes. “Now what to wear, what to wear?” She let go of his hand and thrust her gloved mitts inside, shuffling around the assorted clothes. “What would Mr. Shadow look lovely in?”\n\nCheese hovered between them, looking back and forth, pointing to an article that she thought would look nice. Shadow stood there, waiting for whatever the two would choose. [i]Ugh, why did I agree to do this?[/i] Occasionally, the two would whisper to each other and snicker. [i]Odd.[/i] He waited patiently for whatever he’d end up having to wear.\n\n“Oh, that’s perfect, Cheese!” Cream shouted. Cheese took a quick glance at Shadow. He could have sworn that the Chao was smirking. “Mr. Shadow,” she said with delight. “This would look lovely on you.” She turned around and revealed their choice—a frilly, pink women’s dress. It looked about the right size for a girl her height, with dark red, floofy frills around the shoulders, sleeves, and trim. “You must be properly dressed for a tea party, after all. And boys aren’t allowed. We’ll have to disguise you.”\n\nShadow grimaced. “I’m sure there’s a way I can be allowed to go to the party otherwise,” he negotiated. “Besides, that, uh,” he struggled to find the appropriate words. “Lovely dress seems to be too small for me.”\n\nCream lowered the dress, revealing sorrowful eyes. “But, Mr. Shadow. Mr. Sonic always plays with me, no matter what I want.” \n\nShadow clenched his fists. What was at first an annoyance had just become a challenge. He wasn’t going to be outdone by that speeding little fool. “Very well, then.” He snatched the dress from her hands and held it at arm's length, looking it over further. It looked well-loved. “I’m not about to let Sonic best me in the game of Pretend.” He tossed the article over his head and slipped it on, the short, poofy sleeves, looking even shorter over a grown hedgehog such as himself. Unlike how it’d be on Cream, it fell to the mid-thigh, far too short for everyday wear. Shadow imagined Sonic in such silly garb and couldn’t help but smirk at the thought. “Here. Am I disguised enough for the party?”\n\n“Well…” Cream rocked back and forth on her heels. “No, not yet. Mr. Shadow, you look too mean. You’ll scare Mr. Bunbun.” She pointed to a blue, hand-knit bunny in one of the seats at the table. “We’ll have to,” she covered her mouth to laugh, “try harder.” Giggling, she turned around and dug through the chest again. \n\n“Very well,” Shadow sighed. He had never seen Cream move so quickly, her excitement fueling her every move. Before he could blink, he’d been given a pretty bow in his quills, a slathering of lipstick on his lips, and assorted plastic rings over his gloves. [i]She could outrun Sonic at this rate,[/i] Shadow exclaimed internally as he watched the orange and red blur move back and forth from the chest. \n\n“There!” Cream threw her arms into the air. “There’s no way anyone would recognize you now, Mr. Shadow.” She held a hand to her mouth. “Oops, I mean, Ms. Pudding.” She giggled with delight as she led Shadow back to the table. “Ladies, she curtsied to the plushies in the other chairs. “We have a guest this evening.” She gestured to Shadow, who stood there in silence. “Ms. Pudding, you must introduce yourself.” Cheese reiterated the point by trying to push Shadow’s head to the floor.\n\n“Oh, yeah.” He groaned. He followed Cream’s example. “Good evening,” he said curtly. Cream giggled. The tea party continued until dinner.\n\nSo far, it’d been a smashing success.\n\n“Do excuse me, Mr. Bunbun,” Shadow said. “I must prepare the evening meal.” He stood and excused himself to the kitchen. Cream and Cheese continued the party as he pulled the meatloaf out of the fridge and preheated the oven. \n\n“Ugh,” he groaned, pulling the ribbon from his hair. “How does that blue idiot do this?” He tossed the meatloaf in the oven and set a timer. “I don’t know if I can keep this up.” The plastic rings on his hands were pinching his fingers. Little butterflies and dragonflies lined his fingers, creasing his gloves and cutting off his circulation. “This is ridiculous.”\n\n“Ms. Pudding,” Cream called. She was standing by the wall, peering into the kitchen. “Why did you take out your ribbon?”\n\n“I’m making dinner,” Shadow replied, taking the rings off, trying not to break them. “I’m sorry, cream, I don’t know if I’m cut out for this.”\n\nCream hung her head, shadows covering her eyes. “You’ll play until I’m done.” Her voice was low, and menacing. Much more than it’d ever been before. Shadow looked up in surprise. “If Mr. Sonic plays with me, you will too.” She stepped into the kitchen, her fists clenched. “Right? You don’t wanna be outshined by that punk.” Her eyes were filled with a hypnotic swirl, black and yellow filled them in an endless loop.\n\n“You’re not Cream…” He reached underneath his dress. His face quickly turned as he couldn’t find what he was after. “Wait, where are-”\n\n“Your Chaos Emeralds?” Cream asked. She held them in her hands. The radiant green and blue stones sat in her hands, as if to taunt him. “You know, Shadow,” she said with a flippant sigh. “You say you’re the ultimate lifeform, but you’re so easily fooled.” She tucked them away. “Now you’re gonna play with me or you’re never getting these back.” Shadow opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off again. “And no, Vanilla won’t believe you. She’ll just think I’m her innocent little girl. Whoever you think I really am, you’re wrong.” Cream cackled maniacally, knowing she had Shadow by the collar. “Now.” She flashed an innocent, sweet smile and walked away.\n\n…\n\nShadow stood there in silence, stunned by what had just happened. He took a breath, and then another… then grunted as he grabbed the ribbon and rings. “I have no choice. I need to figure out who she really is.” He sighed and returned to the living room. “Sorry for the… delay…” The tea party had been replaced with a large dollhouse, nearly as large as cream. Several stuffies were strewn about the floor in pairs. “What is this?”\n\n“HOUSE!” Cream shouted. She had a black tie around her neck in place of her blue cravat. “I’m the father and you’re the mother. I have to work 12 hours to feed our three kids while you stay home and take care of them. Daycare is too expensive.” She picked up a suitcase and mimed opening a door. “Oh, and Mr. Bunbun, Sabrina, and Angel are our kids.” She pointed to Mr Bunbun and two other plushies he hadn’t seen previously: a turtle and a dragon. “Now, I’m off to work.” She left to leave for work, but paused before closing the ‘front door’. “You better take care of them now.” She left and retreated to the corner, where the table from the tea party was relocated, with a plastic laptop sitting on top of it.\n\n“I see,” Shadow said, glaring at his ‘kids’. “Um, hi, kids.” He approached them and picked up Mr. Bunbun. “I suppose you’re probably hungry, right?” He turned to the side and whispered under his breath. “Ugh, if Rouge saw this, she’d be laughing at me.” He turned back, but wasn’t sure how to continue. “Cream, what time is it?”\n\n“What?” Cream shouted from her work desk, clicking and clacking at her laptop and humming away. “I can’t hear you while I’m at work. [i]Follow me inside. Outside. Through the stratosphere. The moon is shining for you; it knows that I adore you.”[/i] She ignored him, humming her little tune louder to mask any complaints from Shadow. “Ring ring, ring ring. Yes, hello?” Cream continued her office fantasy. “Yes, I sent you those files yesterday.” Cheese buzzed around the table in his own little tie, acting as her secretary. \n\n“Geez,” Shadow bemoaned. “Fine. I’ll make do.” He looked at Mr. Bunbun and had a devious idea. “You know, Mr. Bunbun, I think Mommy is gonna teach you a thing or two today about self-defense.”\n\nCream and Cheese returned from her office job a few minutes later. “Honey, I’m home. OH MY GOODNESS!” What she saw appalled her. Her children had bandanas over their heads and were learning kung-fu from their mother! \n\n“One more time, everyone,” Shadow said, falling into the roleplay, finally having fun. “You need more power behind your punches, Angel.” Angel slumped over in response. \n\n“HONEY!” Cream shouted and stomped up to him. “What are you doing?”\n\n“CHAO! CHAO!”\n\n“Oh, welcome home, dear,” Shadow said, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek, doing so in the air next to her. “I was thinking, and our kids don’t know what to do if anyone strange comes into the house.” Cream looked at Shadow with an appalled expression. “And if I’m ever gone, or trapped somewhere, they need to know how to defend themselves.”\n\n“SHADOW!” Cream shouted! “That’s not how you play House!” Cream threw her briefcase to the far wall, fuming with frustration. “I gave you so many chances.” She reached into her dress and pulled out the stolen Chaos Emeralds. They glowed brightly in her hands. Shadow’s eyes went wide with concern. “I even gave you the easy job. But no! You’re just so violent! So aggressive.”\n\nCream’s anger started melting her face, the orange markings around her eyes drooping away with her white muzzle. “You’re a threat to my new world order!” An aged, bald face lay underneath the cute, furred head, revealing itself as her tantrum proceeded. A long, white mustache burst forth from the left side of her face like a singular, bushy whisker.\n\n“Cream, I…” Shadow grew ever more suspicious as Cream’s facial features disappeared. He was right in thinking she was an impostor. \n\n“I have to neutralize you!” The last of her rabbit features vanished, leaving her true identity in plain sight. Cheese fizzled away, the facade in shambles.\n\n“Doctor Eggman?” Shadow asked in horror. Purple lenses covered his eyes, while a pair of white goggles with green lenses sat atop his skull.\n\n“No, you fool,” he said. “You don’t even remember, do you? You always did have a problem with [i]amnesia.[/i]” He chuckled, a fusion of Cream’s youthful voice and Eggman-Nega’s deeper voice taunting him. “We only met twice, so I don’t blame you.”\n\n“Wait.” Shadow clenched. That face was so familiar. He looked like Eggman, but…\n\nImages flooded his memory. The Onyx Island incident, The Irift Incident. All those times Blaze mentioned run-ins with an Eggman look-alike at the Christmas party…\n\n“Nega!” shouted Shadow as he turned toward Eggman directly.\n\n“Oh look, he remembers.” Nega held his arms out, taunting him. “You certainly remembered [i]me [/i]faster than you remembered your Maria, didn’t you?” Shadow clenched his fists even harder. “You [i]do [/i]remember her, don’t you?” Nega taunted. He leaned forward with a knowing smirk. “On Space Colony Ark?”\n\n“You don’t get to talk about her,” Shadow said through clenched teeth. He ripped off the dress in one swift pull. “I knew that something was off, but I never would have guessed it was you. What, you run out of Eggman disguises?”\n\n“As if I’d want to take on the appearance of my incapable relative,” Nega said, turning to the side and flippantly dismissing his comment. “Besides, I have bigger plans.” He clenched the chaos emeralds that he had stolen from Shadow. “With these, I wield unlimited power.”\n\nShadow scoffed. “Like YOU’D know how to use them,” Shadow shot back. “It’s not just anyone who can harness-”\n\n“Chaos control!” The emeralds burst with light, blinding Nega for a split second. When he opened his eyes, the world was frozen in time, devoid of color. Shadow stood before him, mid-sentence. “Oh, Shadow.” Nega took slow, confident steps toward the frozen hedgehog. “If only you knew what power I was given.” He grasped what remained of Cream’s body and ripped it away. His body sprang forth from the shell, with towering legs and a rotund body seemingly fitting there as if by magic. “I shan’t give you a monologue, as that would be below me. Oh, and you wouldn’t even hear it. But I will boast one thing.” He leaned forward and stood in the hedgehog’s face. “You won’t be a threat to me after this.”\n\nNega clenched the emeralds and released chaos control. “-chaos energy,” shadow concluded his sentence. He fell backward, seeing that Cream was gone, her skin on the floor behind Nega. “No,” he gasped. “How?”\n\n“Spare me,” he scoffed. “I must press forward with my evil plan.” He slammed his palm against Shadow’s forehead. A blast of phantom energy burst forth, surrounding his body. Shadow’s voice was muffled behind the thick cocoon. “There you go… down, and down, and down.” Shadow’s body began to shrink. “And you are only the first, Hedgehog.” He cackled as he watched the biggest threat to his takeover dwindle. Shadow’s body continued to shrink until it reached the size of Mr. Bunbun, a mere foot long. “Now, child.” Nega held out his hand to recall the phantom energy, revealing what he had done to his opponent. “You are nothing but a mere infant.”\n\nIndeed, Shadow had been regressed to the early stages of life. He had never known them, as he was created in a lab with Black Doom’s blood, and he certainly wouldn’t know them now. “I’ll let you wallow in your failures.” Nega snapped his fingers, and Cream reappeared, not as a skin for Nega to hide in, but as a clone. At that moment, the front door opened. “Cream, I’m home.” Nega vanished into thin air, leaving the scene to play out. “How’s our little one doing?” she asked Cream.\n\n“He was so sleepy today,” Cream said, picking up the new infant Shadow and wrapping him in a nearby blanket. “Not a problem at all.”\n\n“I’m so proud of you.” Vanilla stroked Cream’s head. “You’re gonna be such a wonderful big sister.” A timer went off. “Oh, and dinner is ready. Perfect timing.”\n\n\n\n\nNega reappeared in Dr. Eggman’s lab in a puff of red smoke. “There’s one down.” Eggman’s chrome lab was an eyesore, but it would suit his needs for now. All the chrome plating and colorful panels clashed. However, there was one sight that pleased him greatly. Clear, glass domes sat throughout the central area of Eggman’s lab. Within each one held a single lifeform. Nega smirked, seeing what had happened to the farthest left dome. Inside it, sat a black and red infant hedgehog, floating in suspension. “It worked.” He pulled two chaos emeralds from his pockets. The green and blue gems glimmered under the harsh lighting. “Now, for the rest of you.”\n\n“You can’t get away with this!” In the corner of the room, Dr. Ivo Robotnik was surrounded by phantom energy, held in place. “What about all those times we teamed up? We can work together instead!”\n\n“You forget, you idiot,” Nega shot back, “that I betrayed you every instance that we have done so.” He turned, glaring at his ancestor. “Now, I can exact my revenge properly, without you weighing me down.”\n\n“How did you get the phantom ruby in the first place?” Eggman asked. “It was lost after Sonic destroyed my Death Egg Robot!”\n\nNega cackled. “Wouldn’t you love to know?” Eggman could have sworn he saw a glimmer of red behind Nega’s purple lenses. “Besides, this is for much more than some petty squabble. This is personal.” He turned to face the domes once more. Blaze, Sonic, Silver, Rouge, Espio, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream. “That Hedgehog shall suffer by my hand. One by one, they shall meet an individualized fate, catered to their fears and weaknesses. HOOOOOhohohohohohohohoho!” He thrust his arms out, cackling at the top of his lungs. This was only the beginning.",
"writing_bbcode_parsed": "Nega’s Revenge:
Vol. 1 - Chaos Control
Prologue - McGuffin
“OOOOOHhohohohoho!”
The familiar chortle echoed through the night sky of the Sol Empire.
A round, silver device hovered in the air. “At last, I shall have my revenge, you foul feline.” Dr. Eggman Nega gazed upon what he saw as a stain on his existence: The Sol Empire’s Imperial Palace, or the future location of Eggman Land. Only a few hours ago, Blaze the Cat had gone out for another adventure. “Foolish child, running around without any royal guards.” The rotund man raised his hand to stroke his fine, grey mustache. “Leaving your palace unattended and unguarded. HA!” He grasped the throttle of his vehicle. “All I need now is to run inside and steal your Emeralds.”
Before he could thrust forward, a portal opened a few yards away in mid-air. Dark and blood red, it seemed to swallow the sky around it. It stole Nega’s attention, intriguing him. What was this thing? This marvel of space-time defiance? He didn’t get his answer. In the center of it, something gleamed like the stars. Nega’s overly large gut was telling him to go for it. Gun it. He slammed his foot on the accelerator, the Egg Mobile shooting through the skies like a bullet. Whatever it was, it would be his. But what was the portal? Or was it a black hole? He didn’t dare linger. He reached out with his gloved hand, long fingers ready to grab whatever was in the epicenter of this rip in space.
“Almost there!” Time seemed to slow, the deep blue sky turning blood red as he approached at a crawl. “MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE!” Nega shouted. His black coat with yellow trim flapped behind him as he dramatically pulled a lever on his control console. He jerked forward and grasped the object in the middle of the hole. The sky seemed to pixelate, entering a dark, lifeless void.
Without warning, his brain was flooded with images. He heard voices and sounds all in one screaming blast. The taste of copper flooded his mouth. A burning sensation stung his hand, but he couldn’t let go. Whatever this object was, it was altering his very existence. “No…” he whispered through the voices. “It can’t be.” Terrible purpose filled him. His eyebrows furrowed. This… thing that he had discovered was the key - the key to revenge against Sonic and his friends. “I’ll get that Hedgehog!” He cackled with laughter. Evil, despicable, outright hateful laughter. Plans within plans, within even more plans, began to form. He grasped the now-glowing object in his hands, understanding its powers and history. “Another failure by my dear blockhead, Ivo. I shall succeed where you have consistently blundered.” With a brilliant flash of crimson, he vanished.
Ch. 1 - Babysitting
“Thank you, Shadow.” Vanilla stood in the doorway of her home, waiting for Shadow to park his motorcycle. “I didn’t want to leave Cream alone while I was out on my date with, uh,” she blushed, not wanting to finish her sentence.
“No, that’s fine,” Shadow replied. “I understand completely.” He stood with his arms crossed. “But why didn’t you call Amy? Or Sonic?” His gruff voice wasn’t as stand-offish as usual. When it came to Cream and Vanilla, he tried to be more polite as of late.
“Oh, I tried, believe me.” Vanilla sighed, holding her purse despairingly. “She’s out chasing him, actually. When will she learn?”
“Hmm,” Shadow grunted in agreement. “So what exactly am I doing?”
“I don’t want Cream to be alone, is all. Yes, there’s Cheese, but there’s only so much you can do with a chao.” She started digging into her purse. “And Gemerl is getting repaired from our last adventure. He’s good, you know, but he’s no miracle worker.” She pulled some rings from her purse. “This should cover the evening.”
“No, please.” Shadow pushed her hand away. “I don’t need them. I have plenty. You save them for your night with Vector.” Vanilla blushed. “He’s been blabbing about it,” answering the question that had just shot into Vanilla’s mind.
“Oh, that silly boy,” Vanilla chuckled. “I’ll have to teach him a thing or two about discretion.” She stepped around Shadow. “If you have any questions, I have a note on the fridge.” She waved as she hopped into her car. “Thank you again, Shadow.”
“Not a problem,” he said plainly. “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Cream.” He turned around and shut the door behind him. “I wonder if she’s gotten any bigger.” He stepped inside the quaint little home. It felt off to him. All he knew was destruction, laboratories, and other unpleasant settings. This safe, kind, and clean environment was a stark contrast to such things. “Hmm. No wonder she’s so polite all the time.” He looked at the fridge door, where a flower magnet held a large yellow paper. It read:
Shadow,
Taking care of Cream is easy.
I already prepared dinner for you three. It’s in the fridge.
Just do whatever she says and you’ll have a fun time. Don’t say no, it makes her sad.
Have her in bed by 8.
Vanilla.
Shadow opened the fridge. A glass loaf pan wrapped in tin foil sat in the middle rack, with a note taped to it with instructions on how to reheat it. “And here I thought I was thorough…” He closed the door.
“Mr. Shadow?” Cream peeked around the corner into the kitchen. Her cute face was glowing with delight. “It’s been so long.” She ran toward him, arms outstretched. Shadow was caught off guard and nearly used Chaos Control to dart out of the way, but Cream wasn’t a threat. Her arms wrapped around his body. “You’re watching me tonight?”
“It appears so.” Her body was so warm against his. “Um, what do I do? Do I, put you to bed and wait? I’ve never done this before.” He felt so embarrassed asking a child how to babysit. He was the ultimate lifeform! Surely, he knew something about how to nurture children. Then again, he spent most of his life in a vat.
“Oh, Shadow. We’ll show you.”
“We?”
“Chao!” Cheese came zooming in from the other room, practically bouncing off the walls.
“Oh,” Shadow realized what she meant. He hated Chaos… aside from Cheese. At least cheese wasn’t annoying and telling him what to do all the time, like a certain other Chao. “Alright then.”
Cream led him to the living room, where a pink table was set up with plastic china. Several chairs sat around it, each occupied by a stuffie. He had some idea where this was going. “Won’t you join us for tea, Mr. Shadow?”
Ugh, really? He wanted nothing to do with this, but remembered the note on the fridge. “Of course,” he said, hiding his disdain.
“Yay!” She pulled him along faster. “Oh, wait!” She stopped abruptly and turned to look at Shadow. “You aren’t dressed for the party yet.”
Shadow groaned. “I believe I am fine.” His gloves and shoes would be plenty.
“No, no, no, Mr. Shadow.” Cream pulled him toward a large chest in the corner. “You aren’t dressed at all. Royal Tea Parties require fancy dresses.” She opened the red and gold chest, revealing a heaping mound of dresses and other dress-up clothes. “Now what to wear, what to wear?” She let go of his hand and thrust her gloved mitts inside, shuffling around the assorted clothes. “What would Mr. Shadow look lovely in?”
Cheese hovered between them, looking back and forth, pointing to an article that she thought would look nice. Shadow stood there, waiting for whatever the two would choose. Ugh, why did I agree to do this? Occasionally, the two would whisper to each other and snicker. Odd. He waited patiently for whatever he’d end up having to wear.
“Oh, that’s perfect, Cheese!” Cream shouted. Cheese took a quick glance at Shadow. He could have sworn that the Chao was smirking. “Mr. Shadow,” she said with delight. “This would look lovely on you.” She turned around and revealed their choice—a frilly, pink women’s dress. It looked about the right size for a girl her height, with dark red, floofy frills around the shoulders, sleeves, and trim. “You must be properly dressed for a tea party, after all. And boys aren’t allowed. We’ll have to disguise you.”
Shadow grimaced. “I’m sure there’s a way I can be allowed to go to the party otherwise,” he negotiated. “Besides, that, uh,” he struggled to find the appropriate words. “Lovely dress seems to be too small for me.”
Cream lowered the dress, revealing sorrowful eyes. “But, Mr. Shadow. Mr. Sonic always plays with me, no matter what I want.”
Shadow clenched his fists. What was at first an annoyance had just become a challenge. He wasn’t going to be outdone by that speeding little fool. “Very well, then.” He snatched the dress from her hands and held it at arm's length, looking it over further. It looked well-loved. “I’m not about to let Sonic best me in the game of Pretend.” He tossed the article over his head and slipped it on, the short, poofy sleeves, looking even shorter over a grown hedgehog such as himself. Unlike how it’d be on Cream, it fell to the mid-thigh, far too short for everyday wear. Shadow imagined Sonic in such silly garb and couldn’t help but smirk at the thought. “Here. Am I disguised enough for the party?”
“Well…” Cream rocked back and forth on her heels. “No, not yet. Mr. Shadow, you look too mean. You’ll scare Mr. Bunbun.” She pointed to a blue, hand-knit bunny in one of the seats at the table. “We’ll have to,” she covered her mouth to laugh, “try harder.” Giggling, she turned around and dug through the chest again.
“Very well,” Shadow sighed. He had never seen Cream move so quickly, her excitement fueling her every move. Before he could blink, he’d been given a pretty bow in his quills, a slathering of lipstick on his lips, and assorted plastic rings over his gloves. She could outrun Sonic at this rate, Shadow exclaimed internally as he watched the orange and red blur move back and forth from the chest.
“There!” Cream threw her arms into the air. “There’s no way anyone would recognize you now, Mr. Shadow.” She held a hand to her mouth. “Oops, I mean, Ms. Pudding.” She giggled with delight as she led Shadow back to the table. “Ladies, she curtsied to the plushies in the other chairs. “We have a guest this evening.” She gestured to Shadow, who stood there in silence. “Ms. Pudding, you must introduce yourself.” Cheese reiterated the point by trying to push Shadow’s head to the floor.
“Oh, yeah.” He groaned. He followed Cream’s example. “Good evening,” he said curtly. Cream giggled. The tea party continued until dinner.
So far, it’d been a smashing success.
“Do excuse me, Mr. Bunbun,” Shadow said. “I must prepare the evening meal.” He stood and excused himself to the kitchen. Cream and Cheese continued the party as he pulled the meatloaf out of the fridge and preheated the oven.
“Ugh,” he groaned, pulling the ribbon from his hair. “How does that blue idiot do this?” He tossed the meatloaf in the oven and set a timer. “I don’t know if I can keep this up.” The plastic rings on his hands were pinching his fingers. Little butterflies and dragonflies lined his fingers, creasing his gloves and cutting off his circulation. “This is ridiculous.”
“Ms. Pudding,” Cream called. She was standing by the wall, peering into the kitchen. “Why did you take out your ribbon?”
“I’m making dinner,” Shadow replied, taking the rings off, trying not to break them. “I’m sorry, cream, I don’t know if I’m cut out for this.”
Cream hung her head, shadows covering her eyes. “You’ll play until I’m done.” Her voice was low, and menacing. Much more than it’d ever been before. Shadow looked up in surprise. “If Mr. Sonic plays with me, you will too.” She stepped into the kitchen, her fists clenched. “Right? You don’t wanna be outshined by that punk.” Her eyes were filled with a hypnotic swirl, black and yellow filled them in an endless loop.
“You’re not Cream…” He reached underneath his dress. His face quickly turned as he couldn’t find what he was after. “Wait, where are-”
“Your Chaos Emeralds?” Cream asked. She held them in her hands. The radiant green and blue stones sat in her hands, as if to taunt him. “You know, Shadow,” she said with a flippant sigh. “You say you’re the ultimate lifeform, but you’re so easily fooled.” She tucked them away. “Now you’re gonna play with me or you’re never getting these back.” Shadow opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off again. “And no, Vanilla won’t believe you. She’ll just think I’m her innocent little girl. Whoever you think I really am, you’re wrong.” Cream cackled maniacally, knowing she had Shadow by the collar. “Now.” She flashed an innocent, sweet smile and walked away.
…
Shadow stood there in silence, stunned by what had just happened. He took a breath, and then another… then grunted as he grabbed the ribbon and rings. “I have no choice. I need to figure out who she really is.” He sighed and returned to the living room. “Sorry for the… delay…” The tea party had been replaced with a large dollhouse, nearly as large as cream. Several stuffies were strewn about the floor in pairs. “What is this?”
“HOUSE!” Cream shouted. She had a black tie around her neck in place of her blue cravat. “I’m the father and you’re the mother. I have to work 12 hours to feed our three kids while you stay home and take care of them. Daycare is too expensive.” She picked up a suitcase and mimed opening a door. “Oh, and Mr. Bunbun, Sabrina, and Angel are our kids.” She pointed to Mr Bunbun and two other plushies he hadn’t seen previously: a turtle and a dragon. “Now, I’m off to work.” She left to leave for work, but paused before closing the ‘front door’. “You better take care of them now.” She left and retreated to the corner, where the table from the tea party was relocated, with a plastic laptop sitting on top of it.
“I see,” Shadow said, glaring at his ‘kids’. “Um, hi, kids.” He approached them and picked up Mr. Bunbun. “I suppose you’re probably hungry, right?” He turned to the side and whispered under his breath. “Ugh, if Rouge saw this, she’d be laughing at me.” He turned back, but wasn’t sure how to continue. “Cream, what time is it?”
“What?” Cream shouted from her work desk, clicking and clacking at her laptop and humming away. “I can’t hear you while I’m at work. Follow me inside. Outside. Through the stratosphere. The moon is shining for you; it knows that I adore you.” She ignored him, humming her little tune louder to mask any complaints from Shadow. “Ring ring, ring ring. Yes, hello?” Cream continued her office fantasy. “Yes, I sent you those files yesterday.” Cheese buzzed around the table in his own little tie, acting as her secretary.
“Geez,” Shadow bemoaned. “Fine. I’ll make do.” He looked at Mr. Bunbun and had a devious idea. “You know, Mr. Bunbun, I think Mommy is gonna teach you a thing or two today about self-defense.”
Cream and Cheese returned from her office job a few minutes later. “Honey, I’m home. OH MY GOODNESS!” What she saw appalled her. Her children had bandanas over their heads and were learning kung-fu from their mother!
“One more time, everyone,” Shadow said, falling into the roleplay, finally having fun. “You need more power behind your punches, Angel.” Angel slumped over in response.
“HONEY!” Cream shouted and stomped up to him. “What are you doing?”
“CHAO! CHAO!”
“Oh, welcome home, dear,” Shadow said, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek, doing so in the air next to her. “I was thinking, and our kids don’t know what to do if anyone strange comes into the house.” Cream looked at Shadow with an appalled expression. “And if I’m ever gone, or trapped somewhere, they need to know how to defend themselves.”
“SHADOW!” Cream shouted! “That’s not how you play House!” Cream threw her briefcase to the far wall, fuming with frustration. “I gave you so many chances.” She reached into her dress and pulled out the stolen Chaos Emeralds. They glowed brightly in her hands. Shadow’s eyes went wide with concern. “I even gave you the easy job. But no! You’re just so violent! So aggressive.”
Cream’s anger started melting her face, the orange markings around her eyes drooping away with her white muzzle. “You’re a threat to my new world order!” An aged, bald face lay underneath the cute, furred head, revealing itself as her tantrum proceeded. A long, white mustache burst forth from the left side of her face like a singular, bushy whisker.
“Cream, I…” Shadow grew ever more suspicious as Cream’s facial features disappeared. He was right in thinking she was an impostor.
“I have to neutralize you!” The last of her rabbit features vanished, leaving her true identity in plain sight. Cheese fizzled away, the facade in shambles.
“Doctor Eggman?” Shadow asked in horror. Purple lenses covered his eyes, while a pair of white goggles with green lenses sat atop his skull.
“No, you fool,” he said. “You don’t even remember, do you? You always did have a problem with amnesia.” He chuckled, a fusion of Cream’s youthful voice and Eggman-Nega’s deeper voice taunting him. “We only met twice, so I don’t blame you.”
“Wait.” Shadow clenched. That face was so familiar. He looked like Eggman, but…
Images flooded his memory. The Onyx Island incident, The Irift Incident. All those times Blaze mentioned run-ins with an Eggman look-alike at the Christmas party…
“Nega!” shouted Shadow as he turned toward Eggman directly.
“Oh look, he remembers.” Nega held his arms out, taunting him. “You certainly remembered me faster than you remembered your Maria, didn’t you?” Shadow clenched his fists even harder. “You do remember her, don’t you?” Nega taunted. He leaned forward with a knowing smirk. “On Space Colony Ark?”
“You don’t get to talk about her,” Shadow said through clenched teeth. He ripped off the dress in one swift pull. “I knew that something was off, but I never would have guessed it was you. What, you run out of Eggman disguises?”
“As if I’d want to take on the appearance of my incapable relative,” Nega said, turning to the side and flippantly dismissing his comment. “Besides, I have bigger plans.” He clenched the chaos emeralds that he had stolen from Shadow. “With these, I wield unlimited power.”
Shadow scoffed. “Like YOU’D know how to use them,” Shadow shot back. “It’s not just anyone who can harness-”
“Chaos control!” The emeralds burst with light, blinding Nega for a split second. When he opened his eyes, the world was frozen in time, devoid of color. Shadow stood before him, mid-sentence. “Oh, Shadow.” Nega took slow, confident steps toward the frozen hedgehog. “If only you knew what power I was given.” He grasped what remained of Cream’s body and ripped it away. His body sprang forth from the shell, with towering legs and a rotund body seemingly fitting there as if by magic. “I shan’t give you a monologue, as that would be below me. Oh, and you wouldn’t even hear it. But I will boast one thing.” He leaned forward and stood in the hedgehog’s face. “You won’t be a threat to me after this.”
Nega clenched the emeralds and released chaos control. “-chaos energy,” shadow concluded his sentence. He fell backward, seeing that Cream was gone, her skin on the floor behind Nega. “No,” he gasped. “How?”
“Spare me,” he scoffed. “I must press forward with my evil plan.” He slammed his palm against Shadow’s forehead. A blast of phantom energy burst forth, surrounding his body. Shadow’s voice was muffled behind the thick cocoon. “There you go… down, and down, and down.” Shadow’s body began to shrink. “And you are only the first, Hedgehog.” He cackled as he watched the biggest threat to his takeover dwindle. Shadow’s body continued to shrink until it reached the size of Mr. Bunbun, a mere foot long. “Now, child.” Nega held out his hand to recall the phantom energy, revealing what he had done to his opponent. “You are nothing but a mere infant.”
Indeed, Shadow had been regressed to the early stages of life. He had never known them, as he was created in a lab with Black Doom’s blood, and he certainly wouldn’t know them now. “I’ll let you wallow in your failures.” Nega snapped his fingers, and Cream reappeared, not as a skin for Nega to hide in, but as a clone. At that moment, the front door opened. “Cream, I’m home.” Nega vanished into thin air, leaving the scene to play out. “How’s our little one doing?” she asked Cream.
“He was so sleepy today,” Cream said, picking up the new infant Shadow and wrapping him in a nearby blanket. “Not a problem at all.”
“I’m so proud of you.” Vanilla stroked Cream’s head. “You’re gonna be such a wonderful big sister.” A timer went off. “Oh, and dinner is ready. Perfect timing.”
Nega reappeared in Dr. Eggman’s lab in a puff of red smoke. “There’s one down.” Eggman’s chrome lab was an eyesore, but it would suit his needs for now. All the chrome plating and colorful panels clashed. However, there was one sight that pleased him greatly. Clear, glass domes sat throughout the central area of Eggman’s lab. Within each one held a single lifeform. Nega smirked, seeing what had happened to the farthest left dome. Inside it, sat a black and red infant hedgehog, floating in suspension. “It worked.” He pulled two chaos emeralds from his pockets. The green and blue gems glimmered under the harsh lighting. “Now, for the rest of you.”
“You can’t get away with this!” In the corner of the room, Dr. Ivo Robotnik was surrounded by phantom energy, held in place. “What about all those times we teamed up? We can work together instead!”
“You forget, you idiot,” Nega shot back, “that I betrayed you every instance that we have done so.” He turned, glaring at his ancestor. “Now, I can exact my revenge properly, without you weighing me down.”
“How did you get the phantom ruby in the first place?” Eggman asked. “It was lost after Sonic destroyed my Death Egg Robot!”
Nega cackled. “Wouldn’t you love to know?” Eggman could have sworn he saw a glimmer of red behind Nega’s purple lenses. “Besides, this is for much more than some petty squabble. This is personal.” He turned to face the domes once more. Blaze, Sonic, Silver, Rouge, Espio, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, and Cream. “That Hedgehog shall suffer by my hand. One by one, they shall meet an individualized fate, catered to their fears and weaknesses. HOOOOOhohohohohohohohoho!” He thrust his arms out, cackling at the top of his lungs.
