A/N: A special present to everyone who followed and supported my Rant. Thanks for everything guys ;D P.S. Everyone remembers some of '06. Also in this chapter, I have a very sick sense humor but it makes the story more understandable. Especially in this chap. ENJOY!

Chapter 1: The End of What Was A Perfect Day

"Hedgehog! If you do not put down that emerald you will regret it!" Shadow glared upon the only person stupid enough to pull crude humor like this on him.

"Oh come on Shads, it's just for fun and don't you want to know if it's possible?"

"Eating an Emerald is nowhere near 'possible' you moronic simpleton. Only you would think up something as idiotic as this. Now I shall ask you one more time before you face a fate worse than death...GIVE ME MY EMERALD!" Shadow was now literally shaking as his face burned red with anger.

"Geez Shadow, if you keep that up I think people will start calling you Knuckle-head!" Sonic laughed as he began tossing the Emerald up and down.

Shadow seethed as he began walking dangerously close to Sonic as a dark aura began to circulate around his form. "Last chance!"

Sonic merely chuckled seeing as this a perfect time to finish up. "Oh boy! I sure am famished, if only there was some sweet nourishment laying around to eat." Sonic began faking famish, wiping fake sweat off his head as he moved around wobbly.

"FAKER!"

"Oh but look here, I wonder if it's all right to eat this?" Sonic began sniffing it and taking small licks as it began glowing in it's bright fluorescent light.

Shadow now became a bit worried. Seeing as Sonic wasn't really joking around with this one. "Hedgehog! Have you lost the last strand of knowledge that was left in that peanut sized brain of yours?"

Sonic began bringing it up to his lips as the Emerald began glowing brighter with every moment it came closer to his mouth.

"Sonic if you eat that who knows the consequences that will transpire!"

Faster than the way he ran Sonic gulped the Emerald with a few bites for extra measures. He soon turned to a twitching Shadow and showed his teeth which still had green Emerald fragments in it.

"What...What have you just.

BEEP BEEP!

Shadow snapped out of his stupor and quickly pulled out his G.U.N communicator and opened it as a holographic figure of a freaked out Rouge appeared.

"Shadow! Something really weird is going on, I was going to see Knuckles and probably bother him about guarding the Emerald when next thing you know Angel Island's falling out of the sky! The emerald's still here for some reason, but it looks like it's stopped working and Knuckles is freaking out!" She breathed out hectically while biting her nails.

The ground began shaking under the hedgehogs feet as he quickly caught his footing.

"OHOHOHO! Prepare to meet your Doom you filthy mongrels." Eggman's voice boomed from a loud speaker as his whole fleet came down upon the city. In his tow Sonic's eyes shot open as he noticed the blue figure of Metal Sonic standing atop one of the carriers.

The sounds of people screaming, buildings crumbling and craters rising soon became noticeable. The sky suddenly became red as a familiar dread came upon a still shocked Shadow.

Soon a swirl formed in the middle of the sky as Shadow's worst nightmares started becoming true. The thought to be destroyed Black Comet began making it's landing on the Earth as it's army followed suite.

"You thought me to be dead, but I have risen to take back my revenge on this pitiful planet and my so called son, SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!"

Sonic began picking himself up from his place on the ground as his face spelled 'Fear and Remorse', something that none of his friends thought he ever had.

"Shadow? What's going o...

His words remained at the tip of his lips as he looked down only to see a purple beam of energy shooting through his heart.

Deja Vu.

He slowly turned his head as Shadow's eyes where the size of dinner plates at who they saw standing only a few feet away from Sonic.

"Hello again dear brother, I hope I didn't make that crude of an entrance." Mephilles smirked as he pulled his outstretched hand away and Sonic slumped to the ground in a heap with his eyes blank and just like his prone form...

Dead.

Shadow couldn't believe anything that was happening, Sonic had just eaten one of the Emeralds, the world was going to pieces, Eggaman was attacking, and two of his most biggest rivals had just shown up. He pinched himself even tried driving a chaos spear into his leg to make sure this wasn't a dream but it was all to real.

He felt a cold palm on his shoulder and turned to see Black Doom floating behind him. "Hello again Son, I have come for you're head!"

Now in this moment, people would think Shadow would merely make a witty comment, chaos blast both these hypocrites to oblivion while eating a snack, heck some would think he would just give them a look sending them back to wherever they came from. But the next move he made, everyone would never had suspected.

Shadow the Hedgehog. Slumped to his knees, head bent down as slow streaks of tears began to fall from his eyes while his hands gripped his head in frustration and sadness.

"This is the end, everyone's dead or going to die, I'm all alone, and there's no hope for saving this! I'm so sorry Maria and everyone I have failed."

Shadow had lost his will to move on, everything was gone.

"And now you defect of a hedgehog, it's time for you to finally...

Both Black Doom and Mephilles raised their hands into the air both charging a respective finishing move to the broken hedgehog in front of them.

"Experience..."

Shadow held his face up and looked up to the sky waiting for his approaching death. He knew he would be seeing Maria, the professor, and everyone else really soon. He closed his eyes and embraced his final moment.

"APRIL FOOLS!"

...

Shadow's brain stopped and he looked forward only to be blinded by a camera and millions of laughs and smiling faces.

"APRIL FOOLS SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!"

Shadow merely wore a stupefied look as another flash went off and he continued looking like a deer in the headlights.

"W-What?"

FLASH
