Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: Ending

Sonic and Shadow breathed heavily after they did the final attack onto the Biolizard. "You know…" Sonic panted and looked at Shadow, "You're not bad. Nice work!" he complimented with a smile. "Thanks…" Shadow mumbled with less kindness, he just felt so tired and knocked out. He would do anything for just some rest. He started flashing from gold to black. Sonic didn't notice.

"There's so much I need to show you when we go back to Earth Shadow, I'll teach you lots of things and we could be great buddies and fight alongside each other in battles and we'd be the most epic team. What do you think of that Shadow? Shadow?" he asked and looked at where Shadow was. He wasn't there anymore.

Sonic frowned and looked over his shoulder to Earth, "Huh?" Sonic looked at a black hedgehog who was falling to the green and blue planet and his eyes widened, "Shadow!" he cried out and floated quickly towards him, he grabbed his arm, "Gotcha!" he yelled until he realised that he was being dragged down too.

"Sonic, let go. They need you more than me" Shadow said softly, Sonic shook his head, "I am not letting you go!" he protested. "This is for the best Faker, I have fulfilled my promise and I'm ready to join her now" Sonic's grip only tightened, "I am not letting you go. You still have a future life ahead of you, don't throw it away!"

Shadow smirked softly, "That's what I liked about you Faker, and you never gave up no matter what happened. But they need you, not an experiment like me" Sonic looked shocked, "You are not just like any old experiment, you are a special one Shadow. And I'm the world's hero so I'll do something about you not ending up in prison, even if it means throwing my life away. I isn't your time to die!"

"And so caring, after all I did you still care. Why?" Shadow looked at him with curious eyes, "Because I want you to join me on Earth as my friend. Please Shadow!" he begged, they were going very close to the planet. "I'm sorry Sonic…" Shadow started twisting his hand out of Sonic's. "No!" Sonic yelled and tried to grab on, only to grab onto an Inhibitor Ring instead, it slid off Shadow's hand and Shadow pushed Sonic to the ARK.

"It's ok!" Shadow soothed the azure hedgehog, "Just save yourself, there's nothing you can d-" Shadow said before he fell through the orbit into Earth, presumably dead. Sonic clutched onto the ring tightly to his chest, "Shadow…" he whispered as a tear ran down his cheek and fell onto the ring, it splashed with a glow and Sonic slowly floated towards the ARK, tears still coming.
