The infamous third day arrived-the one where I would be on parole until the end of the Inter-Magic Games. I had regained my human form and was walking out of prison with the Master.
Me (focused on staring into the void in front of me): Master, is there a special color for the team?
Makarov: Uh, the B team's color is black, but you can keep your blue jacket.
Me: No, it's fine. I'll take a black jacket. I used to like being different, but today, I can blend in with the others.
Makarov: Alright.
Upon arriving at Domus Flau, I changed into a black version of my outfit. Only my gloves and t-shirt remained white, while my shoes stayed red. I arrived in the stands where Laxus, Mirajane, Gajeel, Cana, and Juvia were watching the current match.
Gajeel: Ah, finally, you sure took your time. You turning into public enemy number one now?
The old me would have smiled, but I ignored him and kept walking toward them at a slow pace.
Mirajane: You seem really quiet. Everything alright?
Me: I'm fine.
Laxus: You arrived just in time. Your little girlfriend is fighting.
I looked down and saw Wendy facing another girl who was also using wind magic, but hers was black. Wendy was in bad shape while her opponent had regenerated.
???: You know, I don't see the point in this fight when the outcome is already obvious. You should give up, don't you think?
Wendy: No way!!! I don't want your pity. On the contrary, I don't want you to hold back. I want you to attack me until I can't get up anymore!
Wendy... I believe in you. I know you can do this.
The fight got more intense as she used strategy-enhancing her opponent's abilities to dodge a powerful attack. They had little magic left, but their battle seemed endless. The sound of the gong signaled the end of the match. It was a draw. Both were exhausted. I was really happy to know that she hadn't lost and that she had fought proudly.
After greeting her opponent, she turned to leave and saw me. She gave me one of her most radiant smiles, the kind only she knew how to give. Seeing that, I realized she wasn't aware of what had happened to me. Chip must have kept it from her so she wouldn't panic or lose focus during the competition. Thanks a lot, Chip.
Mirajane: That was the second-to-last fight. I wonder who's next.
Announcer: And now, let's move on to the final match, voted by the public-Shadow the Hedgehog from the Sabertooth guild versus Sonic the Hedgehog from the Fairy Tail B guild!
Laxus: Well, looks like it's your turn.
Gajeel: Lucky you! Barely arrived, and you're already stepping into the arena.
The crowd was going wild. It looked like they had really been expecting this fight. I turned around without saying a word, but Laxus touched my shoulder.
Laxus: Sonic, I think you should see her before you go.
See her?? Why should I see her? I looked at him with a puzzled expression when he continued.
Laxus: I know something's not right with you, so you should see her and clear things up.
Me: ...I'll think about it...
I walked toward the infirmary. Opening the door, I saw all the members of Fairy Tail's A team.
Natsu: Yo, how's it going?
Me: Purple actually suits you in the end.
Gray: But black doesn't suit you at all.
Wendy: Sonic, you came!
Me (walking slowly to a chair and sitting down as if exhausted): Not at the start of your fight, but at least I saw the best part.
Erza: Looks like you'll be fighting soon.
Me: Yeah, but I couldn't leave without saying hi.
Lucy and Chip were silent. They didn't want to ruin the mood by bringing up the topic of how I got released.
Me: I hope she didn't hurt you too much.
Wendy: No, it's nothing. Plus, Chelia healed me after the fight, so I'll be able to watch your match.
Natsu: Alright, I think we should go get ready. Wendy, don't be late.
Wendy: Got it.
Everyone left, except for me, Chip, Wendy, and Carla.
Carla: By the way, where were you for the past two days?
I looked at Chip, who gave me a nod, signaling that he hadn't told them anything.
Wendy: Is everything okay?
Me: Wendy, you're mad at me, aren't you?
Wendy: Huh? Why?
Me: For what happened to you when we arrived. You're mad at me for not saving you.
Wendy: Huh? No, I don't blame you. You couldn't have known...
Me: But I did know you were in danger. If I hadn't been... if I hadn't been...
Carla: Sonic, what happened?
Wendy (placing her hands on my cheeks): What's wrong?
I started explaining what had happened when we met Shadow, how I had been falsely accused, then imprisoned before being put on parole.
Wendy (covering her mouth with her hands): That's impossible! Why didn't anyone tell me?
Me: We didn't want you to panic, and it was better if I told you myself.
Carla: What are you going to do?
At that question, I felt a surge of anger rise within me, and my Lightning aura activated automatically.
Me: I won't make any more mistakes. This time, I'll take down that black hedgehog once and for all!
At that moment, I was already imagining electrocuting Shadow until his organs exploded. Suddenly, I felt someone grab me-it was Wendy! She pushed me onto the bed!!? She sat on top of me and looked straight into my eyes.
Me (deactivating my Lightning aura): Wen...
I couldn't finish my sentence because she kissed me without warning! She was the first to slip her tongue into my mouth. I felt like fireworks were exploding in my eyes. Our kiss lasted over a minute before she pulled away, leaving a strand of saliva between our lips.
Carla was speechless from Wendy's bold move, while Chip was quietly putting away his camera since he had been taking photos.
Me (panting to catch my breath): Wendy... you...
Wendy (on the verge of tears): I won't let you go with all this hatred. The Sonic I love would never do that.
Me (looking away): Wendy...
She grabbed my cheeks and forced me to look at her.
Wendy: Since I've known you, you've never been angry about anything, and that's not going to change. I won't let you become someone you're not.
Carla: Wendy... Wendy's right. You're not going to become a killer over a false accusation.
Wendy: Promise me, Sonic... promise me you won't let hatred consume you...
I started crying again, seeing her so sad because of me.
Me: Yes... yes, I promise, Wendy... I'm really sorry.
She wiped my tears and pressed her forehead against mine.
Wendy: Together, we'll find the truth. For now, fight for us and for the guild.
Me: Alright.
She gave me a bright smile.
Me (blushing) : Hum Wendy I'm sorry.....
Wendy ; Hm? For what?
Me : For what's happening down there....
I didn't have to explain because she noticed that I had a boner just under her.
Wendy smiled and began to jump on it?!!!
Wendy (with a seductive voice) : Oh? What's happening? Tell me !
Me : Wendy....we shouldn't....
Wendy (smirking) : Shouldn't what?
Carla: Wendy???
Chip (taking pictures without activating the flash): Wow, Sonic really contaminated Wendy with his perversion.
Me (panicked): Chip... this is not the time for photos!!!
I got up and stopped Wendy, then I got up from the bed.
Carla (understanding more and more what had just happened): Wendy, you didn't really dare...
Wendy (hands on her face): Well, I helped him up there, so I thought he wanted me to help him down there too.
Me (pretending to dust myself off): I wouldn't say no, but we wouldn't have time since I was about to fight soon, and also...
I opened the door, causing Natsu, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Happy, Mirajane, and Juvia-who had been listening at the door-to fall inside.
Me: There were cockroaches eavesdropping at the door.
The girls were all red, while the boys looked away, whistling.
Natsu (laughing): Well, we thought you were taking too long, so we came back.
Me (not smiling): You were at the door from the beginning of our conversation.
Lucy (blushing): Well... we didn't expect to hear... things...

Wendy, embarrassed, had a fish-like expression when she realized what she had done. She hid behind the bed so no one could see her.
Erza (turning bright red): Wendy has been getting very bold lately...
Juvia (on the verge of fainting): Juvia almost thought they were going to break the bed.
Happy (mockingly, hands over his mouth): And to think that Chip and Carla were the VIP members watching this scene.
Carla: Nothing happened!!!
Chip: Just a little more, and I would have filled my film roll with photos.
Mirajane (handing me a white box): Here, I think this will be useful for you next time.
I opened the box and saw a packet containing things that adults use to avoid having children during the act.
Me (returning the box, embarrassed): Thanks, but I already have tons of those at the guild for the occasion.
Everyone: WHAT???
Me: Nothing! I gotta go. Bye!
I rushed forward, leaving everyone stunned by what I had just said.
I arrived at the stadium exit and saw Chip and Laxus waiting for me, leaning against the wall. We talked for a moment, and then I entered the arena when my name was called. My opponent stood before me, wearing a white shirt, a black jacket with red edges, and black pants. In human form, we had the same style, and in hedgehog form, we were the same height.
Me : I found you,Faker !
Shadow (smiling like an antagonist): Faker? It looks like you're the faker here. Do you really think you can compare yourself to me? Ha! You're not good enough to be my fake.
Me: I'll make you eat those words!
The gong rang, signaling the beginning of our fateful battle.
No one's POV
Sonic and Shadow both transformed into hedgehogs and charged up a Spindash. Their attacks clashed, pushing them apart. Then, they started running around the stadium, keeping their eyes locked on each other from opposite sides.
Announcer: This battle promises to be incredible! They're already moving too fast for us to see them clearly!
The two hedgehogs stopped and stared at each other.
Sonic: Don't you think we should fight seriously instead of just putting on a show?
Shadow: For once, I agree with you.
Sonic was the first to attack.
Sonic: Thunder Dragon's Lightning Fist!
Shadow blocked it with one hand without even looking. Sonic's attack dissipated.
Sonic (shocked): What?!
Shadow: I believe it's my turn. Chaos Dragon's Destructive Fist!
He delivered a straight punch wrapped in yellow electricity, sending Sonic flying through the air. While still airborne, Sonic unleashed his roar. Shadow did the same, and their attacks collided.
Announcer: We are witnessing a confrontation between two Dragon Slayers-one controlling lightning and the other controlling Chaos!
Lucy: Chaos? Is that even something that can be controlled?
Chip: Strangely, yes. He probably gains power when he creates Chaos.
Natsu: Can he eat Chaos?
Lucy: No, Natsu.
The two roars canceled each other out, leaving both fighters breathless.
Sonic (panting): You've got guts,faker !
Shadow (panting): Looks like I underestimated you.
Sonic: But time is ticking, and I don't want this to end in a draw. Lightning Aura!
Sonic started glowing, his eyes turning blue. He was initially smiling but was soon surprised to see an orange electric glow surrounding him as well, with his eyes turning orange.
Shadow: Chaos Aura!
Gray: What the hell is going on?!
Erza: He has the same technique as Sonic!
Chip: That's impossible! That was supposed to be his technique-one he created himself. Even Laxus couldn't imitate it.
Shadow teleported and struck Sonic from behind, knocking him down. As Sonic turned, he was hit again from behind.
Shadow: Chaos Dragon's Wings!
Sonic was sent flying, screaming in pain. Shadow followed up with a Spindash, but Sonic deflected it, sending Shadow crashing into a statue. He hit it hard before falling to one knee, realizing he had coughed up blood.
Sonic (teasing): Oh? Bleeding already? You must be really weak if you're already bleeding after just a few hits.
Shadow (wiping his mouth): You think you're funny? We'll see about that.
He clenched his fist, which crackled with even more electricity, and launched a bright yellow spear that exploded upon contact with the statue he had just hit.
Shadow: Chaos Spear!
The base of the statue slid toward him, but he caught it with one hand.
The crowd was beyond shocked.
Announcer: THIS IS INCREDIBLE! THEY MAY BE KIDS, BUT THEY ARE IMMENSELY POWERFUL!!!
Sonic: What the hell?!
Shadow jumped high into the air with the statue and flipped it, aiming to drop it on Sonic. Sonic leaped into a ball and tore through the statue from base to top, emerging in front of Shadow. He was preparing a right punch when Shadow curled into a ball and unleashed a red explosion that sent Sonic plummeting to the ground at high speed.
Shadow: Chaos Blast !
Sonic hit the ground hard, creating a massive crater in the middle of the stadium.
Announcer: Sonic has hit the ground!! Could this be the end of the match?!
Shadow appeared before him, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him.
Shadow (deactivating his Chaos Aura): You were a formidable opponent, but I think this is where your games end.
Sonic: Is that... why you've been after me from the start?
Shadow (whispering into Sonic's right ear): I wanted a little revenge against the Royal Palace, so I destroyed their armory and simply made you take the fall.
Sonic (angry): So it was you?!
Shadow: Oh, be glad-you were very useful to me, thanks to our resemblance. (Looking at him again) By the way, your electricity won't work on me anymore.
Sonic: Huh?
Shadow pulled out a blue hair strand from his pocket.
Sonic: Where did you get that?
Shadow: I picked it up during our little fight on the first day when I passed you in slow motion.
Sonic: Don't tell me...
Shadow: That's right. I'm powerful enough to master your lightning. I've become both a Chaos and Lightning Dragon Slayer.
Chip: Is that even possible?!
Happy: Yeah, remember? Natsu used Laxus' lightning to defeat Master Hades.
Sonic (smiling): Perfect! I was saving this for an emergency, and it looks like now's the time.
Shadow watched, confused by Sonic's words. Then, he noticed a cut on his right cheek that had started to bleed. He backed away as he felt multiple invisible blades slashing toward him.
Shadow: What's going on?! Did you make your attacks invisible?!
Sonic: Almost.
Wendy: That's impossible!
Erza: What is it?
Wendy: Look at Sonic!
They all focused on Sonic and noticed the wind swirling around him.
Sonic: You thought you were the only one strong enough to wield two Dragon Slayer magics?
Luxus: Then he really did it.
Mirajane: That's incredible!
Sonic: Sky Dragon Mode!
Natsu: Sky Dragon?!
Makarov: Did he learn Wendy's magic?
Gray: Wendy, did you teach him your magic?
Wendy: No... I don't know how he's doing this.
Chip: Looks like his plan worked.
Happy: What plan?
Carla: Sonic was secretly reading the texts Grandina had written for Wendy.
Erza: He must have trained in secret until he mastered it.
Shadow charged at him and punched, but Sonic vanished like the wind. He reappeared behind Shadow and delivered an uppercut enveloped in wind just as Shadow turned. Then, he unleashed a roar mid-air, which Shadow took head-on.
Sonic: Sky Dragon's Roar!
Shadow fell but quickly got up, launching several Chaos Spears that passed right through Sonic as if he was a ghost.
Gray: How is he doing that?!
Lucy: Wendy, are you sure this is from Grandina's writings?
Wendy: No... This is magnificent!
Sonic gathered the wind around him, forming clones-ten of them. They charged at Shadow.
Shadow (easily destroying them): Is that all you can do?
He created another Chaos Explosion. Sonic found himself behind him and propelled him with a Homing Attack.
Shadow (getting up and looking at the timer that displayed 1 minute): At this rate, we'll end up in a tie. I have to finish you off before it's too late.
He turned a ring on his right arm and removed it. He did the same with the other. He started glowing red, and an immense energy could be felt.
Sting: So, he wants to show his full power?
Rogue: Sonic won't stand a chance of surviving!
Sonic attacked him, but Shadow blocked with his eyes closed.
Shadow: Your little gusts won't work anymore. This time, you're going to die!
He punched Sonic in the stomach, sending him high into the air. Shadow teleported behind him and delivered a spinning kick, making him fall. But Shadow teleported again and landed blows that echoed throughout the stadium.
Announcer: It looks like Shadow is no longer holding back his punches! The fight is intense, and only 30 seconds remain before time runs out.
Shadow grabbed Sonic, slammed him against the wall, then dragged him along the entire wall while circling the stadium at phenomenal speed. He threw Sonic to the center of the field. His face was covered in blood, and he wasn't moving.
Shadow: I will break you physically, and then I'll make sure you no longer have the strength to look your friends in the eye.
Only 15 seconds remained. Sonic still wasn't moving.
Natsu: Come on, Sonic, get up!
Lucy (shocked): Natsu, he... he's not moving anymore...
Chip: No, that's not possible...
Chip looked and was surprised to see that Wendy wasn't crying.
Wendy: Sonic, get up and fight proudly for the guild!
At that moment, Sonic opened his eyes and started glowing in a completely different color. His lightning and body turned yellow, his eyes became red, and his hair rose up.

Laxus (shocked): He's done it! It's the Dragon Force!!!
Gray: This is incredible!
Natsu: He turned yellow!!!
Chip: Dragon Force?!
Erza: It's a state in which Dragon Slayers become powerful enough to defeat a real Dragon. Natsu was the only one to achieve it, and now Sonic has too.
There were 10 seconds left. Shadow looked at him, smiling.
9
Shadow: Secret Anti-Dragon Technique...
8
Sonic was floating, not very high, but his feet weren't touching the ground.
7
Shadow (placing both hands toward Sonic): Chaotic Dragon Laser.
6
Sonic watched the attack coming toward him with his arms crossed.
5
The giant laser stopped without any explosion because Sonic had blocked it with one hand while still looking at Shadow.
4
Shadow (shocked and terrified): What the...
3
Super Sonic: Secret Anti-Dragon Technique...
2
Super Sonic (propelling himself, dispersing the laser, and charging at Shadow): Thunderclap Supersonic Dragon Propulsion!
Sonic pierced through Shadow-without tearing open his body-and reappeared behind him.
1
A massive yellow electric explosion resounded in the stadium, knocking down everyone who wasn't seated. A cloud of smoke blinded the spectators.
Announcer: That was breathtaking! Who is still standing?!
The smoke cleared, revealing Sonic back to normal and Shadow on the ground, his eyes rolled back.
Announcer: Sonic is the only one still standing! End of the match! The winner is Sonic from Fairy Tail B!!!
The crowd was going wild! Sonic sat down from exhaustion while Shadow regained his senses.
Shadow: This... this is impossible... how...
Sonic: Nothing special, I just believed in myself.
Shadow: You may have defeated me, but that doesn't mean you won't be stopped.
Shadow chuckled while Sonic stared at him.
Sonic (removing a small green orb from his right ear): Oh yeah, I almost forgot about this.
Shadow: Huh?
The green orb started glowing, then floated into the air for everyone to see before projecting an image of Shadow grabbing Sonic by the neck and whispering in his ear. No one had heard what he said at that moment.
Shadow (in the green orb recording): "I felt like getting a little revenge against the Royal Palace, so I destroyed their weaponry and just framed you for it."
Shadow (shocked): This can't be?!
Everyone was stunned by the revelation.
Sting: Damn... how did he do that...?
Rogue: That kid... he tricked Shadow?!
Makarov: Sonic, you're a genius!
Natsu: He had an earpiece this whole time?!
Chip: Yeah, he asked me for a special recording orb and told me he'd force Shadow to confess, then reveal it when the time was right.
Erza: That was brilliant!
Wendy: He's incredible!
Laxus: He used his full potential!
Shadow: You... you tricked me!!!
Sonic: It was pretty easy to get you to talk. At first, I thought it would happen after the fight, but oh well. You should be more worried about what's going to happen to you now that we've caught the real culprit.
The guards approached to seize Shadow, but he got up and jumped onto one of the statues.
Shadow: Listen to me! This isn't over yet! I'll get you next time!
He teleported away-he was gone. Sonic left the arena to the cheers of the crowd.
Announcer: What an epic fight! There are truly some incredible geniuses in Fairy Tail!
Sonic's POV
I walked into the infirmary and immediately collapsed onto the first bed I found. I took a deep breath in, and as I exhaled-BOOM-the door swung open wide.
Fairy Tail A & B Members: SONIC!!!
Me (sighing): Ah, not even a minute of rest, even in the infirmary.
Wendy was the first to jump on me.
Wendy: You were amazing! I don't even know what else to say-it was spectacular!
Natsu (yelling): Dude, do you really know Sky Magic?!!
Gray: Were you a ghost or something?!
Erza: You solved your own mystery without any trouble!
Makarov (stepping forward): I'm proud of you, my boy. You uncovered the truth in record time. You fought with strength and honor.
Me (starting to blush): Stop it, this is too much... I didn't do anything special.
Laxus: Nothing special?! You reached Dragon Force and defeated your enemy in a single attack!
Mirajane: If Laxus is saying that, then it must be serious.
Me (returning to my human form): Alright, fine, if you want, I'll answer all your questions-but right now, I need to recover and sleep.
Makarov: Then we'll let you rest. Congratulations, Sonic!
They all left, except for Chip, Carla, and Wendy. Wendy gently stroked my head while healing my wounds.
Me: Wendy, can I be a little selfish?
Wendy: Hm?
Me: Can I use your stomach as a pillow?
Wendy: Sonic, you know you can do whatever you want with me, so go ahead. No need to ask.
I laid my head on her stomach and eventually fell asleep ten minutes later.
[Mini Story : An Unexpected Meeting]
Meanwhile.....in a near future...
No one's POV
The city of Crocus was in ruins, the sky was red, and dragons filled the air. They were fighting against something-or rather, someone. A Fire Dragon Slayer was battling fiercely, protecting a blonde-haired girl: It was Natsu and Lucy.
Natsu launched fiery attacks while Lucy took shelter behind him.
Natsu (handing Lucy a portal ring): Lucy, get out of here!!
Lucy (frightened): What?!
Natsu: I'll take care of them. Run away like the others!
Lucy: No, Natsu! I'm not abandoning you too!
Natsu: Lucy, having you here will be more of a burden than a help! Run! I'm a Dragon Slayer-I can beat them!
Lucy: Natsu...
An explosion separated Lucy from Natsu. She dropped the ring, which expanded on the ground, opening a portal. Looking around, she saw Natsu struggling to get up.
Lucy (running toward him): Natsu!!!
Natsu: I'm sorry, Lucy...
He let out a roar that pushed Lucy back, making her fall into the portal, which closed the moment she entered. She landed in a forest, far from the capital.
Lucy (breaking into tears): Natsu, no...
???: Who are you?
She turned her gaze toward a white hedgehog who descended in front of her.
Lucy: Are you a friend of Sonic?
???: Not exactly. My name is Silver. I come from 200 years in the future.
Lucy: You're from the future?
Silver: Yes. My future is in danger because of the current incident, so I traveled through time to try and stop it. But it looks like I didn't jump far enough. I need to go.
As he prepared to take off, Lucy grabbed his hand.
Lucy (crying): Please, take me with you!
Silver: Huh?
Lucy: Maybe if I warn my friends, they can find a way to prevent this catastrophe!
Silver: I don't know if that would work...
Lucy: Please! You're my only hope!
Silver thought for a moment before answering. Then, he conjured a black hooded cloak and handed it to Lucy.
Silver: Alright, but put this on. I need to recognize you once we get there.
Lucy: Thank you! Thank you so much!
She quickly hugged him, catching him off guard before he regained his composure. Silver then placed both hands in front of Lucy, emitting a green light.
Silver: Are you ready?
Lucy: Yes!
He created a green protective field around them, and they vanished...
