What is Truth?
The crumpled body of my so called creator lay on the floor gasping for air in front of me, Black Doom. "Tell me who I am!" I yelled furiously "you… fool… I'll take my secrets to the grave Shadow!" Black Doom said, trying to stall.
I lifted him up by his arms and slammed him into the nearby steel wall, denting the metal from the force of the impact, "Tell Me! I will know the truth, or I'll make you die a painful death!" I shouted, my blood boiling.
"To… late…" he gasped before turning to ash "NO!" I yelled in defeat. I fell to my knees "It's over, now I'll never know who I was" I thought, falling into depression.
The last chaos emerald floated over while the other six circled around me, when the seventh and final chaos emerald joined there ranks I blacked out.
I was looking out into a green field, a small breeze making the grass ripple in a water like motion.
"Hello Shadow" someone said, I turned ready for anything, a silver hedgehog in a blue jacket stood before me.
He looked a lot like me except that he had golden stripes on his quills, unlike my red ones. "Who are you?" I asked, even though I didn't really care.
"I'm here to help you find your truth" He replied calmly "well you're wasting your time, my truth lays in the ashes of Black Doom's body" I explained bitterly.
"Not necessarily" was his reply, "Oh Yeah! I'm sure you've got all the answers, seeing as you're so smart, why don't you just tell me!" I yelled half angry, half sarcastically. "It's very simple really, but, I don't know what your truth is. Your truth differs from mine or from the next person down the line" he explained calmly.
"Well, then how do I find my truth?" I asked, calming down from my outburst. "Firstly you have to think things over like; what do I stand for? What do I believe in? Who am I as a person? What is something I strongly believe in? Just stuff like that" he explained.
"Is that all?" I asked, "It is" he replied with a smile, "how about we meet up in a year or so" he said, and with that the field was gone.
I was back on the floor of the Black comet "my truth, huh…" I thought. I finally knew what had to be done.
(One super transformation, a chaos control and a huge blast from the eclipse canon later…)
I was standing on the arc's main deck that looked down on earth "I'm Shadow the hedgehog… protector of earth… the seeker of truth! This is who I am!" I said aloud, I finally knew my purpose. I had the answer all along and didn't know it, nobody could have told me my truth, because the past was now irrelevant.
Now I look to the future with my truth.
What a nice One-shot right? Review if you would.
