SHADOW THE HEDGEOG 2: KEY TO THE MEGA EMERALDS
Maria's Reincarnation
PROLOGUE-SHADOW'S DREAM
Shadow the Hedgehog and his best friend, Maria are seen running through the base of GUN with four of GUN's soldiers not far behind them.
"I'm scarred Shadow," replied Maria as she was being pulled by Shadow who was in front of her.
Shadow looks back at her, "don't worry, Maria; we'll be ok." Shadow then looks around, "damn, where are the exits around here?"
Maria starts to hear the voices of the soilders, "They're getting closer."
Shadow then stops and looks to Maria, "you go ahead, Maria; I'll catch up to you."
Maria nodded her head, "no, I won't leave you."
"I'll be right behind you, " Shadow replied, "I promise."
"Don't harm them, ok? " replied Maria as she started to run ahead.
"I'm not going to hurt them," replied Shadow as he turned toward the four soldiers who had caught up.
"Where is the girl?" asked one of the soldiers.
"Like I'm going to tell you humans, I promised to protect Maria and I will," replied Shadow as pulled out a chaos emerald, "CHAOS CONTROL!"
Shadow uses Chaos Control and freezes the four soilder in place, with that done he heads for the pod room where Maria is waiting.
Maria turns her head hearing the sliding door open, "oh thank goodness, Shadow."
As Maria goes to approach Shadow, a GUN soldier emerges from the shadow.
Maria gasps, "SHADOW"
"TIME FOR YOU TO DIE, SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!" replied the soldier as he points his gun directly at Shadow.
"NO," cried Maria as she puts herself in front of Shadow as the trigger is pulled, she is shot.
Shadow catches her in his arms, "MARIA!"
Maria looks up with tears in her eyes, "Shadow?"
Shadow looks up angrily at the human, "BLAST YOU HUMAN, YOU'LL PAY!"
The soldier looked really scarred from the look in Shadow's eyes.
"CHAOS…" started Shadow when Maria grabs his leg.
"No, Shadow; please don't," replied Maria
"But…" started Shadow looking at Maria.
"I'm dying now, by the key will remain alive," Maria started in a weak voice.
"What do you mean?" asked Shadow.
"I'll take the key to the Mega Emeralds to another world and it'll be reborn within a new human life, Shadow you must find this new human and protect them."
"How will I know where to find this human, " replied Shadow taking Maria's hand.
"You will know, Shadow; I in believe you, Shadow the Hedgehog," replied Maria as she slowly passes away.
"No, don't leave me, Maria," replied Shadow as held her in his arms and looked up to the ceiling. "MARIA!"
Shadow quickly opens his eyes, realizing he was having a dream.
"That dream, again; does it mean it's time? The key will soon appear? I must find this new human and keep Maria's promise to protect them," replied Shadow as dashes into the forest.
