It was a sunny day. But it was interrupted by Eggman and his robots. Sonic was fighting Metal Sonic, While Shadow was fighting Metal Shadow. The rest were fighting another robot which was a giant.
Metal Sonic: Is that all you got Sonic? *Kicks*
Sonic: Hardly! *doges and kicks back*
As Sonic was fighting Metal Sonic, Shadow taking his time on defeating Metal Shadow
Metal Shadow: I am the ultimate life form for now on Shadow!
Shadow: Like that'll happen!
Metal Shadow: I don't have a weakness like you do..
Shadow: And what weakness is that?
Metal Shadow didn't answer. All he did was gave a smirk. Shadow hated it. The rest of the gang was trying to defeat that giant robot. Eggman laugh evilly at the scene.
Eggman: You'll never win!
Amy: Oh yeah? *brings out hammer*
When Amy hit the robot, it exploded. It knock out nearly everyone except Knuckles, Tikal and Rouge. Tikal knew she wasn't a good fighter. But she wanted to help her friends as much as she could. She turned to see Shadow and his fight. But she notice Eggman was typing something on the computer. Soon she saw an image in the woods.. It looked something like a sling shot. She knew it was about to fire. But she also notice it was aiming for Shadow. If it hit him, he would probably drown in the water near him. She ran towards him and yelled.
Tikal: Shadow! Look out!
When Shadow heard her, he turned. He didn't know what was going on but he was pushed to his back. The slingshot was fired. It thrown a roped which was heavy and tied her arms together. The pressure was to strong for her. It forced her to hit the water.
Shadow: TIKAL!
Shadow ran to the water and jump in. He needed to save her. He swim as fast as he could. Tikal was struggling. She was being dragged down to the bottom of the lake. Soon she lost her breath and started feeling weaker. Her vision was fading. She managed to gain one more glance and saw Shadow swimming towards her. Stretching his hand to every thing was all black. Tikal woke up in Amy's room. Once she sat up, she got a headache. She walk outside and saw her friends in the livingroom.
Cream: TIKAL! YOUR AWAKE!
Tikal: Yeah
Sonic: How you feeling? You were asleep for over two hours.
Tikal: A headache. Where's Shadow?
Amy: He went for a run. He's kind of upset.
Cream: You should talk to him. He'll listen to you.
Tikal: Alright. See you guys soon. *leaves*
Tikal walked into the woods. I wonder why he's upset. She thought. As she walk, she finally found Shadow on the edge of the cliff. Staring at the sunset. She walk towards him slowly.
Tikal: Shadow?
Shadow: Tikal, how are you feeling?
Tikal: Better. Are you ok? You seem troubled
Shadow: Tikal..I'm sorry you gotten hurt because of me.
Shadow look towards Tikal with sadness in his eyes. They were also filled with quilt. Tikal wanted to say something to cheer him up.. But she knew nothing would work.
Tikal: Shadow.. It wasn't your fault.
Shadow: I cant keep bring harm on the ones I truly care.
Tikal: Shadow. What are you saying?
Shadow: Your better off without me Tikal... So you wont get hurt because of me.
Tikal: Shadow... Don't..
Shadow: Forgive me..
Shadow hugged her. Tikal didn't hug back. She was stunned. She wanted to scream and yell at him for thinking it. Soon Shadow let go. He look at her one more time and pulled out a chaos emerald..
Shadow: Chaos Control!
He disappeared. Very quickly the sunset faded and turned into night.. Tikal feel onto her knees and cried. She felt as if her heart was rip from her chest and was thrown away. She stayed stayed there crying...
