Musical Liberation: A Shadamy Story

Takes place after the events on the ARK in SA2:

Prologue:

"It was two years since he did it. Two years since he saved this world. What was his reward? To be totally forgotten by the worlds populace and be portrayed as an evil monster. He gave his life for a planet who took away everything that ever mattered to him, yet he is forgotten by the selfish humans. No wonder he hated them. He showed me who he truly was at our brief moment at the ARK…"

*FLASHBACK*

"Argh, I hate it when they leave me behind"

An aggravated Amy Rose was walking through the empty halls and corridors of the abandoned Space Colony Ark.

"Where did they go?" she kept asking herself as she went from empty room to empty room, hoping to find the rest of the Sonic Team. Suddenly, Amy heard some footsteps in a nearby room.

"Finally, another life form" she thought, smiling at her sarcastic comment. When she came to the room where she heard the footsteps, she froze in her place.

"Not only did I find another life form, I found the Ultimate life form" she thought as fear overtook her facial features, worried that he would attack her.

Shadow was standing in front of a window, eyes closed and arms folded. He heard someone entering the room and quickly whipped around, in battle stance and ready to attack. When he sighted the intruder, he loosened up and turned around to face the window again.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to hurt you." Shadow said with his deep, monotone voice as he stared at the starry skies.

"s-Shadow… we n-need you! Please help us" Amy stuttered.

"It is all going according to plan. There is no reason for me to help them. Besides, there is no way to save them anyway…" Shadow trailed off.

"B-but there have to be. I know people fight over the most trivial things, and some people may be selfish, like the professor said, but everyone is basically good if they don't give up on their hopes and dreams…" Amy stated before being cut off by Shadow:

"So you really believe that? That even I, Shadow the Hedgehog, could chase my dreams and live a happy life? HA! You're almost as pathetic as Faker"

"…What were your dreams, Shadow?" Amy asked cautiously, as well as curiously.

"Hmph … I wanted to be… a vocalist. A lead singer in a band, perhaps play the guitar, but I ended up like this instead..."

"It's not too late to change, you know. I don't know what the humans did to you to make you hate them, but please give them a chance" Amy said confidently.

Shadows stare went blank as he remembered what Maria had told him more than half a century ago:

"... For all the people on the planet: Give them a chance to be happy. Let them live for their dreams"

"That's what I promised her, and I must keep that promise. That is what Maria wished for…" Shadow spoke breathlessly.

"Shadow?" Amy questioned.

"I've got to go now. I have to keep my promise to Maria, and you" he finished and ran for the door. Before he left he turned to Amy and asked:

"What's your name?"

"Huh? My name?"

"Yes"

"Amy Rose"

Shadow looked down and closed his eyes, before he spoke:

"Amy Rose…. I'll remember that name"

And with that said, he left the room and a speechless Amy.

*End Flashback*

"How I wish you were here with us. Even though I didn't get to know you all that well, I still miss you. Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog"

First chapter is done. What do you think? Should I continue, or give up? Flames and constructive criticism is allowed. See ya.
