This is based on my Sonic/BAU story, for those fans. So here's the sum-up here:

Shadow was after a killer who made a deal with the old detective, the killer offered the same deal to Shadow but the ebony hedgehog refused. They finally caught the killer, Mephiles, but he escaped prison. Months later, Mephiles breaks into Shadow's apartment and stabs him nine times, wounding the hedgehog. He decides to put his family, his ex-wife Maria and hung son Jack, under Witness Protection. But the evil demon found them.

Mephiles had killed Maria while Shadow was on the phone with her, he heard her die. However Shadow killed Mephiles by beating him to a bloody pulp and he managed to save their son, Jack. Now some years have gone by and every year on the anniversary, Shadow gets those memories of losing her over and over again.


"Promise me, Shadow!" Maria cried out on the phone. She felt Mephiles' crystal hand against head back, aimed straight for her heart. Shadow was driving to his old home going to rescue his family.

"I promise," Shadow said choking back tears.

Then a scream was heard, Mephiles performed his Death Lance on her and she died.

Shadow opened his eyes and gasped, sitting up in his makeshift bed. He looked around the room, he was in the G.U.N.'s bunks room; he was dreaming again. He looked at the calendar on the wall, it was that day, the day he lost his precious Maria. Yes, he was dating Amy Rose for he learned to love again, but it wasn't the same. Then Sonic came in the room.

"Shadow, you doing okay?" Sonic asked him, knowing what day it was.

"Yeah," Shadow said rubbing his eyes. "I'm fine."

"You had that dream again, didn't you?"

"Yeah," Shadow turned so he was sitting on the side of his bed. "So what mission is it today?"

"Like it is everyday: catch Eggman."

The two hedgehogs left the bunks and went for their mission. They walked through the G.U.N., which was located in Soleanna, and got to the conference room where Tails, Knuckles and Rouge were. Commander Tower was there as well, getting ready with the briefing. Sonic sat down, Shadow leaned up against the wall.

"Now that we're all here, let's get started," Tower said. "We determined that Dr. Eggman is somewhere in this part of Knothole Forest."

Everyone saw Tower circling around an area of a map. Shadow started getting a pain in his torso but he ignored it.

"Team Heroes will cause distraction in the front," Tower said referring to Sonic, Tails and Knuckles. "Team Dark will sneak around the back and shut down the defence systems to allow us access. That when we go in and capture Eggman."

"Finally," Sonic declared. "Getting that old egghead!"

"Where's the control board?" Shadow asked. His chest pains started getting tighter and tighter.

"In the basement," Tower replied. "You and Rouge will find your way down, I know you will."

"Just make sure that faker does... his part," Shadow said, he started to struggle with his words. "Ugh..."

"Shadow?" Rouge called.

Then Shadow collapsed on the floor face first, everyone ran over to check on him.

"His pulse is weak and thready," Tails said feeling Shadow's neck. "Call a bus!"

Shadow's vision started going black.
