Black Comet

Harry had teleported himself and Sonic into the Black Comet by using Chaos Control. Harry shuddered as he could feel every Black Arm running through the jagged and huge comet. It was not a pleasant feeling either. “Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many Black Arms at once.” Sonic whispered uneasily, as he stayed behind Harry as they slowly made their way through the huge comet.

Something didn’t feel right to Harry. Why weren’t the Black Arms attacking? “This feels like a trap.” Harry said quietly, keeping a wary eye on the Black Oaks; huge brutes that were vicious and ruthless. Sonic looked around and noticed that Harry was right. Something wasn’t right. “You think Black Doom is purposely letting us through?” Sonic asked softly as they bypassed what Harry recognized as a Black Assassin; real nasty especially with that damn teleportation trick of theirs. Getting frustrated due to his uneasiness and whatever Black Doom was up to, Harry just decided the hell with it and use Chaos Control to get to the middle of the Black Comet.

Sonic barely had any time to register as a familiar blinding ice blue light lit up in front of him; and the two promptly vanished with the help of Chaos Control. They reappeared deep in the heart of the Comet, where a familiar purple Chaos Emerald rested.

The amethyst Chaos Emerald!

“We did it, Harry! We found all seven Chaos Emeralds!” Sonic said excitedly as all seven Chaos Emeralds began to float happily around the black-and-red haired teen; who had grinned wildly. The only thing the two could think of was: Finally!

--

Earth

Westopolis

A gentle breeze brushed through the semi-ruined city. Luckily, GUN soldiers had driven the Black Arms out of the city before too much damaged could happen, so most of the buildings were still in tact, if not for the unusual amount of fire damage. Drifting through the breeze was a newspaper article, which settled on a cracked street.

50-year Return of the Black Comet! Best view tonight!

High above the city, and against the starry black skies, the Black Comet could easily be seen as a ball of fire hurtling toward the little blue planet below; Earth.

--

Black Comet

Sonic liked it when Harry smiled, as it made the teen look even more cuter. The blue hedgehog blushed hotly and looked away shyly as Harry raised an eyebrow at Sonic’s actions.

“Now I can uncover it…” Harry said softly. The emeralds circled him gently, almost as if to comfort the distraught teen. “All of it…” Harry stiffened as he felt the familiar dark energy of Black Doom’s presence fill the room. Sonic scowled heavily when he saw Black Doom rise from the ground. Unfortunately, this was the real deal as Doom’s Eye was nowhere in sight.

Not good.

What the hell does he want? Sonic thought angrily, glaring darkly at the leader of the Black Arms while Harry was a bit nervous, wondering what Black Doom would do. “Very good, Shadow,” Black Doom rasped, much to Harry’s and Sonic’s confusion. “Our ritual can now commence as planned. Give me the emeralds.”

Black Doom held out his right clawed hand to Harry, who blinked; his eyes wide with shock. “Shadow/Harry!” Yelled quite a bit of voices. Surprised, Harry and Sonic turned around to see their friends the other mobains, the adults and children and was that Eggman with them?! “Harry, you have to give us the emeralds!” Rouge begged her light green eyes wide with fear. But what could she be so afraid of? “Do not give Black Doom the emeralds, kid!” Eggman ordered, wheezing from the long run to keep up. “They’re planning to destroy the Earth, Harry!” Hermione shrieked. Harry and Sonic froze, and gaped at them in utter shock.

WHAT—?!

Black Doom laughed a low, guttural laugh. “Ignorant fools…we’re here to save the humans from their own demise.” Did Black Doom just snicker? “We offer…salvation.” Harry chewed his bottom lip nervously. For some odd reason, this speech sounded eerily familiar, as if he heard it loads of times. But that was impossible, right?

“What?” Ron growled, blue eyes flashing.

"Their greed, thirst for power, and affinity for betrayal has them on a path of self-destruction." Out of the corner of his eye, Knuckles frowned when he saw several of the magical wizards and witches flinched and made a mental note. Though, the Chaotix Detectives remained on the ARK; trying to hack into Professor Gerald’s computer as the others went to the Black Comet to face Black Doom.

"Their actions will lead them to an extinction of their species. We're here to save them from themselves...with our perfect order...allowing them to live through their desperate lives in peace." Hearing this explanation caused every one of them to shiver in fear. While Black Doom spoke, strange images of far away planets and galaxies started playing in Harry’s mind, images of the planets and galaxies being over run by the Black Arms as they; the planets and galaxies, were ultimately destroyed by the ruthless Black Arms. Harry quickly shook it off and focused back on Black Doom.

"Humans are a great energy source...They will be well kept." Hearing this, fear and disgust ran through the adults and children. “What?!” Screeched Pansy. Harry was stunned and looked down, ruby eyes glazed over in shock. “This can’t be happening…” Harry mumbled as a brilliant white light flared everywhere, causing some of them to cry out.

--

High above the Earth, the Black Comet was suddenly bathed in a sickly green light as it was warped away from space; shocking the Chaotix Detectives who momentarily glanced outside from their work, stunned that the comet was…gone. Surprisingly, the Black Comet reappeared in the central of Westopolis, and snaking red tendrils reached out from the bottom of the comet, and drove themselves deep into the core of the planet itself. And soon, a link was established between the Black Comet and the Earth.

--

Black Comet

When the light died down, Harry was horrified as he sensed the newly established link between the Black Comet and the Earth. The children huddled together; frightened out of their wits as the adults stood in front of the terrified kids, hexes and curses on the tip of their tongues, just daring Black Doom to try something. “What just happened?” Amy demanded, screeching. Tails realized what had happened. “Those black creatures just warped the comet down to Earth using Chaos Control!” The two-tailed kitsune said in shock. “That’s impossible!” Rouge gasped. The walls were a dark purplish black and quivered as if they were alive.

And they probably were.

Harry could smell a poisonous liquid that dripped from the fangs of nearby Black Hawks. Suddenly, every thing began to make a sick sort of sense to the black-and-red haired teen of the past few days experiences. “That’s why you needed the Chaos Emeralds.” Harry said softly, as the puzzle came together for him. Black Doom laughed cruelly.

"Precisely." Black Doom purred. “The Comet’s velocity isn’t powerful enough to pass through another planet’s atmosphere.” Black Doom explained. “The Emeralds amplify the space-time control powers of Chaos Control. We needed them to charge at full power.” Black Doom smirked, and Ginny shivered at the frightening image. “It’s the perfect plan. That’s why I needed the professor to help me.”

WHAT—?!

“That’s insane!” Eggman yelled, not wanting to believe that his grandfather would make a deal with someone like Black Doom; who was truly evil and heartless.

--

Flashback: The ARK

Professor Gerald was arguing with Black Doom in his lab, deep within the Space Colony ARK. Both the scientist and the alien leader; Black Doom were yelling, well more like Gerald was yelling while Black Doom was hissing in his anger. From what Gerald was able to gather, Black Doom could help his fragile granddaughter on one condition: that Gerald hand over Shadow (how he knew Shadow was on board was anyone’s guess) and the seven Chaos Emeralds.

"I knew that the Professor was desperate in saving his granddaughter, and I of course offered to help if he brought me you Shadow and the seven Chaos Emeralds. The Professor readily agreed to my deal."

End Flashback

--

Harry’s ruby eyes were wide with shock and betrayal as he gazed down at his boots, stunned that the Professor would readily agree to betray the Earth just like that to Black Doom and the Black Arms. “But…why?” He whispered. Sonic bristled with anger when he saw the pained look in Harry’s shimmering eyes.

“This can’t be!” Eggman exclaimed. “He betrayed his own people?! For Black Doom?!” Sonic snorted and turned a dark look on Black Doom. “Big deal. We’ll just take this guy down!” He scoffed. Hermione was worried when she saw that Harry wasn’t moving and just continued to look at the ground with glazed eyes. He’s in shock! She thought, worriedly.

Knuckles twitched eager for a battle. “Let’s do this! I’ll crush that black ball!” The guardian said eagerly, and raised his fist as he lunged for Black Doom, before he let out a surprised grunt and collapsed as he felt a strange iciness enter his body. No one saw a dark bluish black mist trail along the ground, lurking in the shadows. “Knuckles!” Sonic yelped. “What’s wrong?!” Sonic froze as he felt a strange entity enter his body and he fell to his knees with a soft cry of pain as he felt his body lock up from the inside out. What the hell just happened?! He wondered, and heard the surprised yelps and cries from the others as they too fell to the same strange entity.

Black Doom was laughing.

"A special weapon...this gas." Lily could barely make out the faint trails of dark bluish black mist trickling at their skins, and wondered why Remus didn’t even sniff it out; seeing as the man was a werewolf. “Once released, is quickly absorbed into your bloodstream. In a moment, total paralysis will bit your nervous system. The end is near, now…”

Harry, like the others, had inhaled the toxic gas and was kneeling on one knee as he too, felt his insides lock up from the paralysis. And so, the black-and-red haired teenager failed to notice the Death Leech slithering up to him.

"Ahh, my dear offspring...eat and devour these savory dishes!"

“Get away from me!” Amy shrieked, but she could not move due to the paralysis gas that had been released earlier. As their pleas and cries grew louder; yes, even the dark wizards and witches were nervous and yelling to Harry to snap out of his stupor; memories of this long journey began to filter through the teen’s mind. “Remember…” Black Doom. “I will avenge those whose blood was spilled!” Ah, the ever loving Commander Stryfe of GUN. “Did I…die?” Harry knew he had uttered those words not so long ago.

“Please, help me Shadow…”

Maria…

Harry’s ruby eyes snapped open and they harden as he straightened; the effects of the paralysis gas wore off. Then the black-and-red haired teen promptly stomped on the nearest Death Leech with a cocky grin. A set of needle point fangs were flashed, as Harry felt a sense of pleasure fill him as he felt the Death Leech being squished underneath his boot. Black Doom, however, was surprised to say the least.

"What?!" Black Doom raged.

Harry glared at Black Doom, a strange glint appearing in his ruby eyes. “I am Harry Potter, but I am also Shadow the Hedgehog.” Harry announced, shocking everyone in the room. His red eyes narrowed dangerously into slits. “As I’ve said before, no one tells me what to do!” He hissed angrily. “Your reign ends here, Black Doom!” Black Doom growled at Harry’s words; clearly displeased that Harry was openingly defying him.

"I gave you life and this is how you repay me?!” Black Doom snarled, all three of his eyes glowing with a sickeningly red light due to his rage. “The irony of it all, is that I gave you life…and now I’ll take it back!”

Black Doom floated out of the room, and Harry was about to follow him, when he heard Hermione’s voice call out to him. “Good luck Harry.” Harry turned and smiled. “Everything will be fine, ‘Mione. I promise.” He said softly. Harry ignored her surprised eyes before warping away; hoping to catch up. ‘Mione? Did that mean that the real Harry was back?

“Glad to have you back, mate.” Ron whispered.

--

Harry jumped and weaved in and out of the multiple purple shots being aimed at him. He was laughing with delight as he flicked out hundreds of Chaos Spears, wiping out hundreds of Black Oaks and Black Warriors at once.

He glanced down, surprised to see a small radio attached to his right cufflink. He barely had time to wonder how it got there as he jumped onto the head of a nearby Black Oak, and chuckled as a Black Warrior accidentally shot down its own kind. Now that was ironic. Harry nearly jumped as he heard Eggman’s voice coming from the radio. “Shadow, can you hear me?” Harry merely blinked; of course he could hear the damn doctor! “Black Doom has to be somewhere inside!” Harry snorted, hell he knew that already! “I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.” Eggman said dryly.

Oops.

Harry skidded to a stop; after running for several minutes, before realizing he was trapped in a room with over fifty Black Warriors. He grimaced, he was in trouble. Harry felt warmth filling him when he heard Sonic’s tired voice over the radio. “Listen, you have to use Chaos Control if you want to keep up.” Sonic warned. Harry felt like slapping himself for not thinking of it sooner.

Duh!

Harry utilized the use of Chaos Control, and promptly vanished. But as he disappeared, he heard Tails’ faint voice over the radio. “I believe in you, Harry. You can do it!” Harry secretly smiled, and reappeared in a room that felt eerily familiar to him. The black-and-red haired teen looked around curiously. Perhaps he had finally caught up to Black Doom? His ruby eyes narrowed as they zeroed in on the figure that loomed in front of him; Black Doom. It was as if the ruthless alien had been waiting calmly for him this whole time, and who knew; he probably was! Black Doom turned; his three red eyes locked onto Harry’s own red orbs, and seemed to smile.

"Well, done Shadow." He praised as Harry scowled and sent the alien leader dirty looks. “You’ve gone farther than I’ve expected…I’m impressed!” Harry nearly shuddered as he remembered that whoever impressed Black Doom usually didn’t last long in a war; not if the dark being had anything to say about it. “But you still don’t understand, do you?” Harry stopped and hesitated. This of course, could be another trick of Black Doom’s. “The future we offer is the only opinion for these humans.” Harry scowled heavily as his anger overtook his confusion and he glared hatefully at Black Doom.

“I’ve heard enough!” Harry hissed through clenched teeth. “You’re beginning to bore me!” His red eyes glittered brightly. “You’re going down!” Black Doom gave a rumbling laugh. "Such bravado little one," Black Doom purred. “I thought you were different from the rest…but maybe not.” Harry tensed, not liking where this was going. “We are more alike than you think…after all; the same blood runs through our veins.” Harry’s ruby eyes widen as he took in this information.

What?!

“This can’t be—?!” Harry gasped. But before he could say anything else, his head throbbed with unnatural pain, and he grabbed his head as he bent over; struggling to maintain control over his body as he could feel Black Doom’s programming trying to take over his body. “Just…who are you…?” Harry rasped. Black Doom smirked, and he sounded smug. “I’m surprised you haven’t figured it out yet.” He said gleefully. Despite being in pain, Harry knew he wouldn’t like this new revelation. “You were, after all…created from MY blood.” Even though he was still in pain, Harry knew that deep down inside, Black Doom was telling the truth. He looked up through clouded red eyes.

“Wha-what?” Harry asked, panting.

"I'm surprised you haven't figured it out yet." Black Doom said gleefully. “you are a part of me. I created you well over two thousand years ago. You cannot escape from me, nor your past!” Black Doom said, roaring with laughter.

It can’t be true!

ARK: Gerald’s Lab

The Chaotix Detectives had remained behind on the ARK after the others with Eggman, took chase after Harry and Sonic to the Black Comet. Currently, Espio was trying to hack into Professor Gerald’s computer, and wasn’t having much luck. Computers really weren’t the chameleon ninja’s foray after all.

“Espio, are you in, yet?” Charmy whined as he hovered around Espio, who was slowly growing more and more annoyed by Charmy’s whining. Vector hastily placed a gloved hand over Charmy’s mouth, trying to hush up the younger mobain. “Quiet you!” Vector hissed before turning back to the silent chameleon. “Espio, we need you to focus ‘cuz if we don’t hurry, all that data will be lost!” Vector ordered. Espio sighed heavily.

“Easier said then done…” He said in his quiet voice. “Who signed me up for this anyway?” The chameleon mumbled. Vector frowned and grumbled loudly as Charmy somehow got out of his grasp. “That’s it! I’ll do it!” The bee mobain whined loudly. Vector’s blue eyes widen as he realized what Charmy intended to do. “Get back here you idiot!” The crocodile yelled. Charmy rammed into the computer; which had remained unresponsive this whole time, and the other two were surprised when the computer screen flickered to life. “Yeah! It’s working!” Charmy cheered as Espio and Vector just gaped.

Then the three Chaotix Detectives watched as the image of Professor Gerald Ivo Robotnik came on screen, and it would be curious to know what the late professor would say in his last message…

--

Meanwhile

Harry was still in a kneeling position; pain had locked up his body as he struggled mentally to regain control of his body from Black Doom’s programming. When out of the blue, he and Black Doom’s heard Professor Gerald’s gruff voice over a set of monitors that Harry failed to notice earlier. “Shadow, my friend…” Harry looked up and was surprised to see the elderly man’s face on the monitor.

“Professor?”

Oh yes, Harry remembered Professor Gerald Ivo Robotnik now. The elderly man who had saved him from near death after crashing on Earth near Westopolis fifty years ago. And to waking up on Space Colony ARK, and meeting little Maria Robotnik; Gerald’s lovely granddaughter.

Harry remembered them both very well.

"What is this?!" Black Doom demanded, furiously.

“If you are listening to this, then what I have feared all along has happened.” Gerald sighed softly, stroking his gray mustache as his beady dark eyes stared at the camera and smiled sadly. “You need to know the real truth. The government plans to shut down this facility.” The late elderly scientist murmured.

--

GUN Base

Commander Stryfe stood outside the GUN Base, looking at the Black Comet that was now partly merged with Earth, in utter disgust; when he heard the late Professor’s voice over a set of monitors and looked up seeing the massive screens that were scattered about the base, and saw Professor Gerald’s face.

“The government plans to cease all of our research,” Gerald sighed heavily. “and kill those who know about you.” Gerald frowned darkly. “I am afraid that we have a traitor amongst the ARK, and I am terribly sorry for everything that I’ve done, Shadow.”

Commander Stryfe was stunned at this revelation. It was the governments fault that he lost all of his family and friends when the ARK was shut down fifty years ago? Behind him, came the president; a man in his late thirties with slicked back brown hair and blue eyes. The president wore a slick blue suit and brown suede shoes. Even the President was stunned at this revelation as this occurred before his time in the White House.

“I made a terrible mistake that day…when I made contact with the Black Comet and Black Doom…” Gerald said heavily. Down on the ground, Stryfe was shocked. “Professor Gerald?”

“Now listen very carefully…”

--

Meanwhile

Back with the paralyzed group, the paralysis gas was starting to lessen; albeit not by much. What little movement they had, allowed them to lift their heads and the mobains recognized the face of the elderly man that was on several screens that surrounded them in the room.

Professor Gerald Ivo Robotnik.

In fifty years, the Black Comet will return…they plan to harness its powers to destroy this planet! The only way to stop them…was to develop a way to use the very power THEY intended to use AGAINST them.” Gerald said slowly.

--

…

“Shadow…it’s up to you and only you can stop them.” Gerald said via the old recording. “I’ve developed the Eclipse Cannon for this particular reason…it’s the only weapon that can destroy the Black Arms once and for all.” So that was why Gerald designed the Eclipse Cannon, it was to be used on the return of the Black Comet. “Shadow, you are the only hope for mankind…the future of this planet depends on you!”

Harry was surprised when he saw Maria walk onto the screen and hugged her grandfather; she was also smiling. Clearly the little girl had forgiven the elderly man for his actions in dealing with Black Doom. “Don’t worry grandfather,” Maria said happily. “Shadow and I will protect this planet!” Little Maria turned to face the camera with a wide grin. “Right Shadow?” She asked. Black Doom rumbled with gleeful laughter.

"Gerald, you fool! Shadow is already in my control!" Black Doom suddenly felt the link he had with his dark prince get severed rather roughly and whirled around to see that Harry had managed to stand up and glared at him with slightly darker than normal ruby red eyes.

Hm…

"Well, well, well...seems like you're finally immune to my control." Black Doom was not pleased with this new revelation. Harry grinned cockily at him; as if to infuriate the alien leader. “Like I’ve said before, you have no control over me.” Harry sneered. “I now understand why I’m here.” Harry whispered. “I made a promise to Maria, and I intend to keep it.” Harry said calmly, before sending a cold look towards Black Doom’s direction. “Today, I put my past behind me!” And Harry slid into a basic ‘tiger’ stance, and leapt at Black Doom. However, Black Doom teleported away; much to Harry’s anger.

"Have it your way, Shadow. So be it..." Harry heard Black Doom’s voice faintly in his mind. “Your past, present, and future ends here. Now Shadow, die as you witness my wrath!” Black Doom’s voice roared before everything fell silent.

I wonder…

Harry closed his eyes and the seven Chaos Emeralds swirled around him happily. Soon, the emerald green, deep blue, sunny yellow, pure white, sky blue, blood red and the amethyst Emeralds lit up with a soft glow. Harry concentrated with all of his might, and soon the soft glows from the Emeralds took on a blinding white light and Harry was lifted up slightly as he was engulfed by the blinding glow.

Suddenly, Harry’s ebony hair burned a molten silver, though the red streaks remained the same, and his skin took on a much lighter tone, but it was his eyes that changed the most. Gone were the shimmering ruby red, instead soft pearl silver eyes glowed brightly. Hell, even his clothing had changed! Harry now wore a skin tight, sleeveless white shirt, white dress slacks, thick silver leather boots, a silver trimmed white jacket, and fingerless silver gloves. Harry grinned as he realized just what had happened to him.

He had gone “Super”.

Now, in a more powerful form; and able to take on Black Doom, Super-Harry warped out of the Black Comet (he could sense Black Doom’s energy in space), ready for the final showdown.

--

Space

Super-Harry reappeared out in the cold, desolate space. Miles below him was the little blue planet; Earth. His pearl silver eyes widen as he caught sight of Black Doom’s true form. In his true form, Black Doom was gargantuan; he was even more bigger than Black Bull was!

Black Doom’s form had to be well over six hundred feet in height and length, and was mostly black in color, but blood red scales lined the hundred foot long wings and blended around his huge claws and talons. Blood red scales even lined the spine and the huge pinchers shielding a single huge yellow eye. An eye that was very familiar to the teen. And the name of Black Doom’s true form rose up in Harry’s mind.

Devil Doom…

Ga-ross.

Super-Harry made a disgusted face. “I gave you life, and yet you continue to defy me?!” Devil Doom rumbled and Super-Harry was barely able to avoid being ripped apart by Devil Doom’s claws. “You shall pay for your ingratitude with pain!” That didn’t sound so good to the powerful teenager who was weaving in and out of the rapid slashes.

Super-Harry rolled his eyes at such a cheesy line, but relaxed as he recognized Eggman’s voice over the radio he still had cuffed to his sleeve. “Shadow, can you hear me?” The scientist asked while Super-Harry was forced to go on the defense. “We’ve managed to escape from that Comet.” Here, Super-Harry smiled when he heard that; glad that they were safe. “There’s no need to hold back; cause as much havoc as you need to!” Now, Super-Harry’s smile became feral.

Finally!

Super-Harry was just glad that he could stop holding back and focused with all of his might on taking down Devil Doom once and for all. “Go for it Shadow!” Tails cheered, sounding proud in knowing Harry. The teen was inwardly touched by the young kitsune.

“You can do it, Harry.” Lily said over the radio, and Super-Harry felt his strength rise as he felt all of his friends and family backing up; and yes, he even felt the dark wizards and witches backing him up. Although, he was very surprised to feel Voldemort’s energy backing him up as well. “With the Chaos Emeralds, you can use them to power up your Chaos Spear!” Sonic explained over the radio, earning a genuine smile from Harry.

Got it!

And thanks…Sonic.

Super-Harry raised his right hand up, and silvery white energy cackled around his fingertips and multiple bolts of pure energy formed. “Chaos Spear!” He yelled, aiming the bolts toward Devil Doom, and swore rather colorfully in several languages earning him a “Harry!” From his parents, Sirius and Remus in a scolding tone.

Oops.

Then, Super-Harry heard Eggman speak up in horror filled tone. “Is that thing invincible?!” The scientist screeched. But, Super-Harry heard Hermione’s faint voice explaining that everything and everyone had a weakness.

But what was Devil Doom’s?

Super-Harry suddenly hissed in pain as he was struck down by giant flaming meteors that Devil Doom had apparently sent his way, when he heard Rouge’s voice over the radio and realized that the ex-thief must’ve taken control of the radio and must’ve discovered Devil Doom’s weakness.

“That’s it!” Rouge exclaimed excitedly over the radio. Harry raised an elegant eyebrow, the horrible burn that marred his right side was rapidly healing due to the Chaos Emeralds. “Devil Doom’s weak spot must’ve been the eye that had been following you this whole time!” Super-Harry’s pearl colored eyes widen as he realized what Rouge meant. Wherever he went, Doom’s Eye was always there.

Then that meant…

Now where is that eye…?

Super-Harry dodged in an out of the flaming meteors, barely avoiding the intense heat and spotted Devil Doom’s single yellow eye that sparked familiarity in the silver-and-red haired teen.

That’s it!

Super-Harry was about to power up a Chaos Spear and let out a vicious curse as Devil Doom warped out of reach. Then he felt oddly tired and heard Sonic’s voice once again over the radio. “Listen, Harry, you may be invincible in your super form, but it won’t last!” The blue blur warned.

Shit.

“It’ll be all over if you don’t gather power rings!” Amy added, and Super-Harry raised an eyebrow; wondering what the hell the pink hedgehog was talking about. His pearl colored eyes scanned the airless space before he caught sight of sparkling rings; the same ones he wore in fact.

Interesting.

He kept a close eye on Devil Doom as he flew toward the rings, hoping to gather some up before the demonic alien could attack him again. Luckily, Super-Harry was able to gather up a hundred more, which should be enough to keep him in super form to take down Devil Doom.

Hopefully.

All of a sudden, Devil Doom grabbed the startled teen around the waist by one huge claw, and dug the razor sharp nails into the teen’s thrashing body; threatening to squeeze the poor teen to death. Super-Harry thrashed wildly in Devil Doom’s grip, struggling to escape as air became a problem.

Can’t…breathe…

Super-Harry let out a soundless cry as his aura; a blinding silver, flared everywhere, causing Devil Doom to hiss in pain and release the teen from his grasp. Super-Harry rapidly warped back a few feet, keeping a wary eye on Devil Doom; the Chaos Emerald energies were healing his crushed lungs as he drew in shaky breaths. Though, he was pleased to notice the massive burns now marring Devil Doom’s arms, face and eye. And somehow, Super-Harry wasn’t too sure how, but he knew Devil Doom’s health was rapidly slowing down.

Devil Doom was not happy, as he glared at the silver-and-red haired teen through hazy vision. “Why? Why can’t you understand that these humans are the parasites of this world?” He demanded. Super-Harry remained silent, his face neutral as he watched Devil Doom slowly waste away from his powerful aura.

"Absolute power is the only way to bring order to the planet...the humans must be eliminated!" Still, all Devil Doom got was utter silence from the teenage boy. “Shadow, open your eyes!” Devil Doom yelled. “Realize that sympathizing with these humans has all been a mistake!”

Wrong words, pal.

Super-Harry tensed as he heard Eggman’s voice over the radio and knew something was wrong as the man sounded haggard. “Shadow…can you hear me?” The man rasped. “The gas from the comet has…made its way into Westopolis…” The teenager was stunned.

What?!

Over the radio, Super-Harry heard his friends, family and enemies cough heavily as the toxic gas made its way through the city. “I can’t move!” Luna moaned. Super-Harry bristled with barely restrained rage. Nobody got away with hurting his friends and family! No one! He then heard Knuckle’s heavy breathing over the radio as the guardian spoke up. “S-Shadow…don’t, worry about us…you’ve got to…destroy that thing!” The guardian wheezed. Super-Harry rolled his eyes.

What the hell do you think I’ve been trying to do, idiot?

"Before long the gas from this Comet will have spread over the entire planet..." Super-Harry frowned; that didn’t leave him a whole lot of time. With his now heightened senses, Super-Harry saw the toxic dark bluish black mist slowly spreading over the city. This was really not good. “Shadow, cease these futile attempts to resist! You alone cannot change the fate of this planet!” Devil Doom rumbled angrily. Super-Harry’s anger grew as he heard Tails’ weakened voice moan over the radio.

“Wh-wh-what do we do?” Tails moaned softly. “I can’t…keep, my…eyes open…” Hell, Super-Harry could barely hear Rouge’s voice as it was so faint. “Sh-Shadow…I believe in you…you’ve gotta finish this…” She whispered.

That does it!

Devil Doom is going down!

He flew forward and aimed powered up Chaos Spears, and made sure he had positioned his body just right as he threw the energy bolts and grinned widely when he heard Devil Doom roar in pain. Super-Harry then heard Sonic’s weakened voice and was worried. “Ah, Shadow,” Sonic gasped through heavy breathing. “You’re…supposed to be the Ultimate Life Form…right? You gotta…keep going…” Surprisingly enough, not even ten minutes had passed since the battle first started.

"The time has come!" Devil Doom suddenly roared out, much to Super-Harry’s wariness; what was the alien leader up to now? “Now that the gas has overrun this tainted world, MY reign has finally begun!” Devil Doom crowed, much to Harry’s horror.

No!

Utter terror gripped at Super-Harry’s heart. He would not, could not fail. As his anger and determination grew, the silvery aura that was around him flared brightly; and was looking more like flames of molten silver lava than anything else.

“No you WON’T!” Harry snarled as blinding silver energy flared everywhere, blinding and burning Devil Doom severely, who was yelling in pain. As the light died down, Super Harry saw that Devil Doom was badly burn; most of his body was covered in third degree burns, and the alien’s eye was nothing more than a mess of blackened flesh as dark green blood seeped from the burnt eyeball.

Devil Doom was breathing heavily as he glared with a sightless version of where he could sense his former protégé was hovering at. “Im…impossible!” He rasped, the demonic alien could feel his life force fading rapidly from his dying body.

"Im...impossible!" Devil Doom roared. Super-Harry was breathing heavily, exhausted but had enough energy to remain in super form a while longer. “I am the immortal life form! I am the ultimate power!” Gee, well, Devil Doom sounded like he was pouting. “This is the end for you…and for my cursed past.” Super-Harry said softly, but Devil Doom heard him anyway. And Super-Harry watched as the one who controlled him worse than Voldemort could ever hope to do, fade away as he died; before looking down to the Earth with an unreadable thought as he warped away.

One last thing to do now…

--

Earth

Super-Harry reappeared in Westopolis, frowning when he saw that everyone had collapsed due to the toxic gas from the Black Comet. He allowed his aura to flare everywhere, and everyone could feel the warmth wash over them as Super-Harry’s aura erased the toxic gas from the city. Soon, everyone was able to breathe properly and stood up slowly. “You did it, Shadow!” Tails cheered, wildly as he jumped for joy. Super-Harry blushed shyly and rubbed the back of his neck in a sheepish manner as he smiled. Knuckles frowned and tilted his head. “Why are you still in super form, Harry?” He questioned, curiosity getting the better of him as every eye there turned to Harry who turned a light pink.

“Er…”

Huh?

Super-Harry looked up and raised an eyebrow as he saw Commander Stryfe and a man he did not recognize, walking towards them. There were even quite a bit of GUN soldiers behind Commander Stryfe. Sonic followed his gaze and was surprised. “Commander Stryfe, and Mr. President?” He asked, amazement etched in his voice.

Commander Stryfe stepped in front of Super-Harry, and both Lily and James tensed; wondering what the older man was up to. Super-Harry met the elder man’s dual colored eyes with his pearl colored ones. Commander Stryfe was silent before he held out his hand to a surprised teen. Super-Harry blinked as he looked up into the Commander’s face and was amused to see a smile there. “I am sorry for my actions Shadow, no, Harry Potter.” The man said calmly. Super-Harry grinned and shook the elder man’s hand. “Don’t worry, I remember how much fun Maria had with back on the ARK.”

Wait a minute…

Sonic’s green eyes widen as he gaped at the now bemused teen. “Wait, you mean you remember?!” He demanded as Super-Harry chuckled and nodded. “Everything from my life as Shadow the Hedgehog and as Harry Potter,” He said with an amusing smile.

Wow.

Knuckles suddenly gave a slight nod and lowered a small walkie-talkie. “We’re in luck, the Chaotix Detectives are currently leaving the ARK as of now.” He announced. Super-Harry was quiet as he glanced up to the starry skies, knowing where the ARK was positioned in space. “Is there a problem, young man?” Mr. President asked, politely.

Hm?

A sudden sad smile played at Harry’s sweet lips. “I know that the Professor wouldn’t want the ARK’s technology to fall in the wrong hands.” He said softly as he placed a gentle hand on a confused Sonic’s shoulder and whispered something into the blue blur’s ear before warping to the Black Comet. Sonic’s green eyes glazed over as the sentence Harry whispered to him echoed in his mind, and his hand reached up to his cheek where he had felt Harry's faint lips brush against.

“I’m sorry, Sonic.”

Meanwhile

Super-Harry reappeared at the base of the Black Comet; knowing what he had to do. He shifted slightly as he actually lifted the massive Comet up and ripped the tentacles out of the planet. “Time to put the past behind me…” Super-Harry’s body flared with brilliant silver energy as he called out:

“Chaos…CONTROL!”

There was a blinding flash of brilliant blue-gold light and everyone in Westopolis was shocked, when the massive comet and Super-Harry vanished from sight. However, unknown to the silver-and-red haired teen, every giant screen that was still active in the city, came to life; and showed Super-Harry with the Black Comet. Even the Chaotix Detectives in their ship, were watching the event unfold out on their ship. And luckily, they were far away enough to not be harmed in case of any…incidents.

Space

In a flash of blue-gold light, the massive Black Comet had been forcibly merged with the Space Colony ARK. Super-Harry’s plan was this: merge the comet with the ARK, then activate the ARK’s internal self-destruction program. Thus, destroying both the Black Comet and the ARK once and for all. Super-Harry teleported to the main computer room; ready to initiate the program.

“Yo-wey-yo…”

--

Westopolis

“Yo-wey-yo…”

Every human and mobain that stood there, gaping at the sight where Super-Harry had been previously, heard the soft singing coming from the massive screens that were throughout the city. And it was Sonic who recognized it and realized what it meant. “That’s Harry singing…” Ginny whispered, shocked. Hermione’s brown eyes widen as she suddenly remembered what Harry told her about the extinct race known as the Brunnen-G. “Guys, don’t you remember what Harry told us about the Brunnen-G race?” She demanded. “What the hell are you talking about, ‘Mione?” Ron asked, confused. She shook her head. Gah, does he have to be so dense? She thought angrily.

“Harry told us back at Tails’ workshop about an extinct race known as the Brunnen-G who would sing an ancient chant when marching into battle!” Amy’s own green eyes widen as she, too, remembered what Harry said about the Brunnen-G. “He’s expecting to die!” She gasped.

WHAT?!

--

Black Comet/ARK

Super-Harry reached the main computer and began typing in several commands, humming the Brunnen-G song softly under his breath, as he initiated the program Professor Gerald once told him about.

“Yo-wey-yo home va ray…”

“Yo-wey-ra ja room Brunnen-G…”

Super-Harry stepped back as a set of numbers appeared on screen and relaxed; happy that he finally fulfilled Maria’s wish at long last.

“ARK’s INTERNAL SELF-DESTRUCT SYSTEM ACTIVATED”

Super-Harry checked the timer. Hm, he had only ten minutes until the whole place exploded. Memories of playing with Maria on the ARK, to learning about humanity and Earth with Professor Gerald, the downfall of the ARK fifty years ago along with Maria’s death, Eggman awakening him on Prison Island to meeting Sonic and his friends, stopping the ARK from destroying the Earth, being reborn as Harry Potter, to the adventures he had at Hogwarts with his two closest friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasely, played in his mind.

I’m glad I got to know you guys…

Earth

“Yo-wey-yo home va ray…”

“Yo-wey-ra ja room Brunnen-G…”

Sonic and the other mobains were surprised as everyone else around them were murmuring the ancient Brunnen-G war chant, and Sonic could feel his heart break from the sad song.

Shadow…

Black Comet/ARK

Super-Harry frowned as he sensed an all too familiar power forming behind him. He slowly turned around and yelped as he was thrown into a two-way glass window between the main computer room and the hallway. The glass shards drove deep into Harry’s skin. The teen looked up weakly and saw, to his shock and horror, Black Doom standing there, looking furious.

No…

--

Earth

“It can’t be!” Neville squeaked, his eyes glued onto the nearest screen. Rouge’s eyes widen in shock. “It’s Black Doom…he’s alive!” She gasped. Hundreds of eyes swerved to look at the screen and everyone was shocked. Black Doom was still alive.

Not good.

--

Black Comet/ARK

"Insolent brat!" Black Doom snarled as he picked up the teen. Despite having glass shards in his body, Harry released his control over the Chaos Emeralds, which shot out of the Black Comet/ARK and scattered over the Earth once more. Now, dark crimson blood dribbled down from the gash that was sliced over his right cheek, and from the gash over his right eye. Black Doom was livid and threw the downed teen and blasted Harry through several walls.

--

Earth

Lily felt terror grip her heart as she was forced to watch her baby boy get battered around by that bastard Black Doom. Sirius flinched when Harry slid to the ground in a different room. And the room appeared to be that of a young child, and realized it must be the room of the little girl:

Maria Robotnik.

--

Black Comet/ARK

Harry groaned and lifted his head weakly, and realized with a start that he had been blasted into Maria’s room. His shoulder had been thrown, so a bone was jutting out from the skin; revealing bloodied and torn muscles and tissue as dark crimson blood steadily flowed down. Two ribs were shattered, making it hard to breath and he knew his nose was broken as well. Blood dribbled from many cuts and gashes, and he could even feel it trickle down his ears. The teen looked down tiredly and grimaced in pain as his legs lied limply before him. Apparently, he had been blasted with such force, that his legs were utterly shattered and burnt to a crisp.

"It's over Shadow, the Black Arms will rise again!"

Harry lifted his head; oh, he was so very tired now and glanced to the dusty computer on Maria’s desk seeing 0:00:00 flashing in bold red letters, and to Black Doom’s confusion, began laughing. “What’s so funny?!” Black Doom demanded. Harry snorted. “You are, Black Doom. And you’re right. It is over.”

And everything exploded in a brilliant flash of white light.
