Chapter 1: Trip down a Mountain

Shadow the Hedgehog stood atop a mountain he was so high up there was snow, looking down he let himself fall. He could feel the cold wind bite his face as he straightened himself in free fall, flawlessly he hit the ground running and took off through pine trees, not even carrying Shadow ran into one ricocheting himself into another tree this happened multiple times until he was shot into a clearing.

Shadow pushed himself up as he slid only to find himself falling off a cliff, he went into a spread eagle pose looking at the bottom he spotted a fallen tree trunk which gave shadow an idea he straightened his body again and aimed himself over the trunk barley 2 seconds pasted as he landed causing the branch to awake and slide down the mountain, Shadow could feel the shocks of pain that were sent down to his feet but he didn't wince…he didn't care.

Shadow didn't even attempt to control the trunk as it moved him toward a giant rock. The next couple of events that happened were just as he expected: Shadow's "board" hit the rock splitting it into 3 parts his part of the trunk shot him upward and Shadow then let what was going to happen if he didn't do anything…happen, Shadow was then sent tumbling into the snow that had hurt just a bit.

He then hit a rock that had hurt more, the rock then shot him toward a tree smashing his face in it, that was pretty painful, but that was wasn't the end of it as Shadow had begun rolling into patches of pine needles, pine cones, broken branches and other such things, that was more of a stinging pain, but the next series of events were most likely the worst.

Shadow had then tumbled himself into a large branch his back hitting the branch, that hurt A LOT, he then ricocheted into a tree slamming his right arm into it, that REALLY hurt, Shadow was then shot into a big rock hitting his left leg he heard a loud crack, that was EXCRUCIATINGLY painful, only then out of direct order from his brain had Shadow roared out in pain as his "Trip" slid to a stop the cold air finally able to get to him, yes Shadow had expected all of this, but one thing he didn't expect was for a pink hedgehog to find him.
