Missing You

Chapter One

A New life

All was calm and peaceful on the planet Mobius; it had been over a month since the Metarex were defeated and everything on Mobius was almost back to Normal, well, not totally, for there was something happening in the Mobotropolis Cemetery.

The Sonic team, and the Chaotix were standing around a grave all dressed in black, all looking at a large black coffin that was about to be lowered into the ground in front of them, conducting the service was an old badger standing reading a speech.

At the front Sonic the Hedgehog was crying softly with Tails and Amy on either side of him looking at the coffin in front of them, there on the black coffin were some beautiful flowers, and there was a photograph of the young hero boy Chris smiling and staring at them with his frozen blue eyes.

"How could you?" whispered Sonic softly "how could you do such a thing to him?" Tails looked at Sonic and squeezed his hand, "how could Eggman murder him so brutally?" Sonic whispered again with tears rolling down his cheeks, he shut his eyes as he remembered clearly what had happened to that Pod and Chris was in it….

Flashback

Sonic was running from the hill he usually had his Sunday rest under after running, he had been resting there for a long while and he had heard Cosmo's voice from the sky saying she was still alive and happy back with her mother and were in a new home. Sonic had felt so happy that she was ok, that he had run back to find his friends and tell them the good news.

As he ran he saw something flying in the air, it looked like a pod, he ran faster and faster until he finally was running under it, and he saw the face of his best friend, the human boy who helped them save their planet and the galaxy. Chris Thorndyke.

As he ran, he tried to see if he could say one final goodbye, but before he had a chance, the pod suddenly began to jerk, then smoke began to pour from the back of the pod. Sonic's heart froze, but before he could make a sound or even stop, the pod exploded in a huge fireball.

"NNNOOOOOO!" screamed Sonic "CHRIS!" he stopped dead in his tracks and watched helplessly as the fire spread everywhere, filling the sky with smoke and fire. Sonic screamed again "NNOOOOO!" he fell to his knees and tears of devestation and grief began to fall.

Flashback

Sonic clutched his fist around a red rose he held in his hand, "I'll never forgive you Eggman" he whispered as he gritted his teeth, "I'll never forget it; I'm still coming after you!" in his head he could still see the image of Chris's pod exploding in the sky.

Amy Rose who stood next to him reached out and placed a hand on his fist, "Sonic?" she whispered, Sonic turned to her, Amy walked closer to him and wrapped her arm around his shoulders, usually when she did that, Sonic would resist and try to pull away, but this time, he didn't, he leaned on her, his tears finally falling in rapid rivers.

Amy looked around at the crowd, Knuckles was standing near the grave wringing his hands, Rouge was standing nearby dabbing her eyes with a white tissue, Cream was sobbing and hugging her mother Vanilla who was also crying and the Chaotix were simply standing in silence.

"I just can't understand it" she whispered, she "Why would Eggman kill him?" she then remembered dhow Sonic and gone onto the Metarex base to look for Chris and Cosmo, he had then discovered that Dark Oak was torturing them. As Sonic was forced to watch he had transformed into Dark Sonic and had destroyed two of Dark Oak's Metarex warriors, but Eggman had talked him out of his anger and had told Dark Oak 'It's all very well kidnapping someone and threatening them, but when you actually hurt someone that's going too far" "he said that back then" thought Amy "but he murdered our friend!"

Amy then looked back at the priest who continued to speak, "Chris was a brave young boy who always put his friends first and was never afraid to face danger, he faced many enemies, and never backed down, he was a true hero and a true friend"

Sonic nodded "It's true" he whispered "never showed fear, he was always there for his friends" he gritted his teeth as tears flowed from his eyes. Amy squeezed his hand.

After a while the coffin was lowered into the ground and everyone began to throw flowers onto the grave, Sonic threw the rose onto the coffin then turned away, Tails and Amy followed him. "Sonic!" said Amy, she ran in front of Sonic who still had tears running from his eyes.

"What is it Ames?" he asked quietly "We're worried about you" said Amy, Sonic looked at her, tears appearing in his eyes, "Amy…" he whispered "Eggman killed my best friend….one who never did anything to him….he killed him in cold blood!" "Shhh Shhh Sonic" said Amy soothingly "come on, I'll take you to my house and we'll talk there" "Ok" whispered Sonic, he then took Amy's hand and followed her out of the cemetery.

Meanwhile Rouge was standing opposite a small plaque; she was staring at what it said in big letters,

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG

FEARLESS HERO

LOYAL ALLY

MUCH MISSED, GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN

"Shadow" she whispered "How could you? Why did you give your life to save us? Why did you give up everything just to save us? I miss you so much…I wish you weren't gone" she placed a red rose on the plaque and kissed her fingers, she then placed her fingers on the plaque and a single tear trickled down her cheek and landed on rose.

"Rouge?" then a voice brought her back down to earth; Rouge looked up to see Knuckles standing behind her. "What are you doing?" "Oh..." said Rouge "just paying my respects to another hero" Knuckles sighed "come on Rouge" he said "I doubt it Shadow would want you kneeling at his memorial plaque all day" Rouge sighed "I miss him Knuckles" she whispered.

She then stood up, and began to walk away, she kept her eyes on the plaque, as she looked at it, she saw a brown dog and a grey hawk beginning to bury Chris's coffin. She sighed and turned away to walk back to her apartment, her mind still on Shadow.

Well, here's my new fic and this time Shadouge drama. I guess some of you readers may have noticed the close refrences to the Sonic X series three final episode. Wel this is a follow up to the Sonic X series.
