His Mourning
"How
could I let this happen? First we were foes, and then we helped each
other save the world even when he wanted to destroy the planet."
"It
ok, Sonic. He died honorably," Knuckles said trying to comfort me
"He died a hero."
"Then
why do I feel like it's my fault?!" I swung my arm around so fast
that my fist went through a lava lamp. Blood trickled down my arm,
and yet I could barely feel the pain.
After
Knux had finished and left, I stared through the ARK's window. The
image of Shadow falling to Earth like a meteor melting its way
through the atmosphere appeared before my eyes. I looked away,
trying to erase that picture from my memory. The next time I looked
at the window to see my reflection, but instead, I saw Shadow's.
When
I looked back Knux was gone. Probably with Rouge, I thought. Then
Omochao walked in the room.
"What
do you want?" I asked blatantly annoyed with his presence.
Omochao
had this habit of telling everyone useless information and always
gave his opinion about everything.
"You
know what I think?" he asked. "I think that Shadow survived. I
mean, he IS the ultimate life form isn't he? According to my
calculations, he has a higher percentage rate of surviving that
fall."
"Oh,
yeah?" I said. "Exactly what is that probability?"
"Around
thirty percent. That's twenty percent more than you would have."
I was shocked. Maybe Shadow had survived. I couldn't let my hopes get too high though.
