Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Sonic the Hedgehog characters, SEGA does.

Note: This does not have to do with the Shadow the Hedgehog game, for I have yet to get it. I can't wait to though…


Shadow could see his reflection in the shining metal floor as he fell to the ground, clutching his crimson emerald in his hand. In his mind, he knew that this was it. It was over. Black Doom stood over him, a long black sword with a barbed tip raised above him, preparing to strike.

"Chaos…control…" Shadow was barely able to mutter before the sword impaled him. He couldn't keep using Chaos control to escape Black Doom, and he knew it. Shadow looked up to see the sword once again swinging toward him.

"Chaos-" Shadow winced as a crippling pain split his side. He looked outside the window of space colony ARK, his gaze lingering on the planet he had saved from Gerald Robotnick. "Control…" he wheezed out just as the sword crushed the metal beneath his feet.

Black Doom laughed menacingly. "You cannot win, Shadow the Hedgehog. Surrender and I may grant you your life."

A smile twitched across Shadows mouth. There is only one option left… he thought as he looked at his wrists. It was a gamble, but he had to try. His inhibitor rings fell to the ground as a surge of energy raged through his body, starting at his head and ending at the tip of his tail. He knew that it was another gamble, but he pulled out his blood red emerald which was now glowing profoundly, and said with a new gained confidence, "Chaos control!"

There was an explosion of white light that engulfed the two rivals, blinding them. Then there was only the void of space.

Shadow awoke; lying sprawled out in the middle of a wheat field. He jumped up, snapping to attention, and looked around for Black Doom. When he saw no one, he relaxed slightly. He also noticed that his inhibitor rings had made their way back onto his wrists and ankles, each one in the right place.

He then looked around with a frown and realized that where ever he was, it wasn't Mobius.


This is a short prologue, sorry bout' that. Anyways, read it, review it, and hopefully like it.

That is a dinosaur, signing out.
