Attack on the GUN Fortress!
CHAPTER 1: Shadow attacks the heart of GUN
Disclaimer I don't own Sonic the Hedgehog, Shadow the hedgehog, or any other character I include in this story. Thanks. Anyhow...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
One day, it all started when Shadow the Hedgehog was thinking about his past. After he had collected the 7 Chaos Emeralds and uncovered his past and killed Black Doom (not sure about these words? Play the game "Shadow the Hedgehog" for more information), the side effects for the emeralds were that they all flew away into different regions.
But this story isn't about the Chaos Emeralds.
This is about Shadow's revenge.
Shadow recalled the memory on the ARK 50 years ago. He remembered about running away with Maria from the GUN soldiers... ending up in a dead end... and the GUN soldiers - BANG! "MARIA!" Shadow yelled out loud. He was sitting on top of a rock, just dreaming away. Shadow looked around him. Westopolis was living peacefully, the cold breeze made the trees blow. Everything was looking fine... until you looked at Shadow's heart. His heart was growing dark with anger and revenge. "Maria..." he said to himself, "I will avenge your death, and destroy the heart of the people who killed you. I WILL DESTROY THE GUN FORTRESS!" Shadow leaped up from the rock, and sped down the road toward the GUN Fortress.
A few minutes later, Shadow appeared at the entrance of the base. It blended in with the other buildings and he walked inside. Inside was a chandelier with people inside happily talking. Shadow's eyes grew dark and fierce, and his body glow bright red. Everyone looked at Shadow in awe. In the center of the lobby, Shadow yelled out with a dark, evil voice, "CHAOS...BLAST!" A red wall of unknown power came out of Shadow, and destroyed everything in his path. He walked up to the Appointment Table nearby which was still in one piece, and the lady there said, "D-do you have an a-a-appointment, s-sir?" "I don't care if I don't have a damn appointment! All I want from this crappy place is to kill the Commander, the President, and everyone who works here!" Shadow replied angrily. "What damn floor are they in?" Shadow said, clenching a fist in front of her. "TELL ME... OR DIE." "T-they're on floor 234, in a meeting with the President," the woman replied. "Heh heh heh... this just makes everything much, MUCH easier!" Shadow said, unclenched his fist, got off the table, and ran up the stairs.
A GUN troop blocked his way halfway, and said, "FREEZE, intruder! I heard a fellow troop call me and said a black hedgehog was tearing down the place! FREEZE, Shadow the Hedgehog!" the troop said. "Hmph. So what? Out of my way! Coming through!" Shadow said, jumping up and kicking the man in the head, making the man unconsious.
By the time Shadow got to floor 57, he was already getting tired. "DAMN IT! I've had enough of this shit!" Shadow said, his body changing colors again. It had turned bright blue, and he leaped in the air and froze there. While in the air, he yelled out, "CHAOS...CONTROL!" Shadow teleported through the whole GUN Fortress, and when his energy ran out, he fell on his feet on the floor 233. "What the hell, it's just another floor up there!" Shadow said, sighing. "And I thought this would be a challenge..." He ran up the stairs, went to the only door on 234, and busted it open.
"ALRIGHT, YOU GUN FREAKS! TIME FOR YOU TO DIE!" Shadow said, bursting out of the door. "What?" said a familiar voice and another familiar voice from inside the room. It was the Commander and the President talking. "What... did you say... Shadow? Kill us? HAH! We're going to change something to your phrase! How about... 'Time for me to kill you!'" the Commander said, pulling out a pistol. "Shadow the Hedgehog... why do you want to kill us? We haven't done anything bad..." the President said looking at Shadow. "If you want to kill us, I have no choice but to go against you!" "Yes you have done something wrong! You killed the only family I knew! You killed Maria, 50 years ago," Shadow said, pointing an accusing finger at them. "Less talk, more hurting, hedgehog! You shall pay for the crimes you have done! I will finally get my vengence for Maria! DIE!" the Commander said. (I'll explain why later) He shot the pistol which almost hit Shadow, if he hadn't jumped out of the way, but the President used a Force Bomb from under his desk and threw it at Shadow's feet, which made him crash out the window, falling 234 stories high.
Tails was practically walking around the whole Westopolis. I mean, come on, what else is there to do with no Eggman ass to kick? Tails got pretty bored of playing Tag with Sonic and Knuckles. Tails was always it, and Sonic wouldn't even slow down just a bit, and Knuckles would go behind a cliff and punch it down so Tails had to use all his strength just to fly above. Pretty much, it was unfair. He was just an innocent fox, just walking around, and suddenly, Tails saw a black hedgehog falling down the GUN Fortress. "What the hell is that? Is that Sonic? No, that isn't Sonic. Sonic isn't black. (I'm not talking about racism either), but that's a hedgehog alright," Tails flew over where the black hedgehog was faling. Then, it hit him when he saw it closer. "That's... Shadow!" Tails said, and boosted his speed to get there.
Shadow kept falling, and because of gravity, it made him go faster and faster, and would be a lethal blow on the ground. Tails, however, flew where Shadow was falling and caught him. "Thanks, Tails. I guess I owe you one after all..." Shadow said, hopping onto the ground when Tails brought him down. "Tails... do you know where Sonic is by any chance?" Shadow asked Tails. "Yeah... I think he's in Westopolis's State Park, playing some mind games with little kids. Funny how the little kids are always winning... and Knuckles always gets to punch Sonic whenever Sonic loses... well, that's mostly it," Tails replied. "By any chance, could you take me to Sonic? I'm not entirely sure where Westopolis State Park is..." Shadow said, scratching his head. "Sure! That's two times you owe me," Tails replied happily, sticking up two fingers. Tails led the way as Shadow followed. Aftera few minutes, they found Sonic inside the State Park.
"Hey Tails! What's up?" Sonic questioned, being hit on the head once more. "Oh nothing. But Shadow wants to talk with you," Tails said. "If it's okay, if I could talk to you alone," Shadow said, pointing at Sonic. "Sure, I have enough time..." Sonic said, getting up from his chair and walking over to Shadow.
They entered inside an abandoned building, and Shadow said, "Sonic... I need your help."
"For what? I always thought you were strong enough to handle by yourself."
"It's just a little qustion."
"Okay, shoot."
Shadow took a deep breath, and said, "Will you help me destroy GUN?"
Sonic gaped at him. "Are you CRAZY? NO WAY, DUDE!"
"You know, Eggman's up to something to destroy the world, but I know... and I could tell you... if you help me."
"EGGMAN? THAT CRAZY OLD FOOL?" Sonic thought about this for a moment. "Shadow, could you give me some time? I-I need some time to figure out this whole mess..." Sonic held his head, and quietly went out the door. "Give me an answer tomorrow, okay Sonic?" Shadow said. "Yeah... sure, whatever..." Sonic replied slowly. And for one whole day and night, Shadow stood inside the building, desperatley waiting for Sonic's long awaited answer.

Woo yeah! This story is looking pretty good to me! I started FanFiction writing because my sister, Terra Alchemist, (some of you already know her; she does Fullmetal Alchemist writing) told me about this. Tell me a good review and tell me if I could improve some, or take out some, some ideas, comments, and if I should keep going with this story. It would help me alot, thanks. This is my first writing piece, so I will understand some negative comments.
