Sonic the Hedgehog: Secrets Revealed

"Maria, this is what you wanted right? This is my promise I made to you." He remembered those words as he fell to the Earth. Shadow the Hedgehog could remember nothing after that. He didn't know how he survived the fall or what he was truly created for. Sonic the Hedgehog was the blue hedgehog that resembled him so, why did he look so similar? He had once thought it was a pure coincidence, but now he's not so sure.

He stood on top of the bank that he robbed in Station Square when he awoke from his 50 years of sleep. He looked right, and a blue streak ran across.

"Sonic the Hedgehog."  He said.

It stopped and there stood Sonic the Hedgehog, the greatest hero the Earth has ever known.

"Hey Shadow" he said.

Shadow was silent.

"Not talking, eh? Well that's ok. I'll start. So how's it going?"

"As well as it could possibly go. I still do not have a future." Shadow said showing no emotion.

"Man, you're gloomy." Sonic shrugged.

"SONIC!"

"Oh no! It's Amy. You never saw me ok Shadow? Bye!" And with that Sonic was off.

"Oh no! Sonic where'd you go!" said Amy Rose; she was the girl who helped Shadow remember his true promise to Maria.

"Oh, Shadow!" she said looking up. "Have you seen Sonic around?"

"I think he went by, but it was hard to tell."

"Oh thanks." Said Amy, and she ran off in the direction Sonic went.

New Egg Base

"Let's see here. What plan can I use to kill that blasted hedgehog and his stupid friends once and for all."

"Doctor Eggman."

"E-114, what is it?"

"We are ready for construction just give the order on what to make and…"

This robot looked like and upgraded version of E-104. Eggman had decided on going back to old designs.

"I want to build a new Death Egg."

"By the way sir. We've found some new notes from your grandfather."

"Oh really?" said Eggman, curiously.

"Come this way sir, we'll show you."

E-114 walked out of the room. Eggman rose from his chair.

"I wonder what other evil my grandfather left for this world." He cackled.

White House

"Ms. Rouge?"

"Yes, Mr. President?" said Rouge the Bat.

"We've gotten word that Dr. Eggman has been spotted in Station Square we want you to investigate."

"No problem sir. Just one thing."

"I know, your jewels."

Rouge laughed.

"How did you ever know?"

The president stared blankly as Rouge walked out.

"Sometimes I just don't know."

Angel Island

Knuckles sat by the Master Emerald. He was sleeping. With a start he awoke.

"Sonic, how many times have I told you don't do that."

"Sorry Knuckles, but this is the best place to come when I'm being chased by Amy." Said Sonic, grinning. "So what are you up to thinking about your past again?"

"You might say that. The only thing I know is that when I was a baby my family died. However I survived due to the energy of the Master Emerald, I decided to dedicate my life to guarding it." He put his hand on the Master Emerald. He turned to Sonic. "What about yours?"

"My family?" Sonic bowed his head. "I have no family. I just remember waking up one day and wandering around I have no idea why I have my speed, but it's been a blessing, I've just had a natural feeling for helping those in trouble."

Sonic then turned away. Knuckles had never seen Sonic like this before.

"Sonic, I've never seen you like this before, you ok?" he asked worriedly.

"Sorry, I don't think about it too much. I'm getting out of character, I don't dwell on the past Knuckles, I live in the now."

Suddenly an explosion was heard.

"It's Station Square!" exclaimed Sonic.

"That bastard Eggman he's up to something." Said Knuckles seething.

Both Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other and nodded.

"You ready?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's go."

Both Sonic and Knuckles took off towards Station Square as more explosions rocked the city.
