Hey everyone! I might not continue my fic Memories Lost because I lost my book I wrote it all out in.

Sigh… sucks to be me. Well I've gotten a new fic for Sonic the Hedgehog started up and I hope you all enjoy it!

Chapter 1- Beginning of a New Adventure

Setting- Grassy Field

Time- Dusk (Fall)

Shadow was walking through a field when he picked up the scent of gunpowder,

smoke and blood. He looked out farther ahead and he could see that patches of the field

were on fire and oddly enough some of the grass was frozen over in spiked ice. He

stopped and inspected the frozen grass; it had twists of black inside making it look

mysterious and beautiful. He reached out to touch it and as soon as he did intense cold

ran through his body. He staggered away from the strange ice clutching his numbed arm,

as a series of gunshots fired in the distance; looking around he saw G.U.N. Bigfoot

footprints. He determined them to have come from a cliff in the vicinity, having had been

here many times after the black arms incident. He skated up to the top of a large hill and looked out across the field towards the cliff. In the distance he could make out G.U.N. soldiers, Bigfoot mechs and a couple of Heavy Dog mechs as well.

(AN- Heavy Dog and Bigfoot mechs will be referred to as H.D. and BF. respectfully.)

He noticed that far out on the edge there was a lone figure being surrounded by soldiers.

'That must be who they're after… they must be desperate to have 2H.D.s and all those BF.s after them' he mused before shrugging his shoulders in indifference," Well, it doesn't concern me," he said while turning to leave. As he was leaving he noticed a trail of crimson blood leading down towards the cliff he sniffed at it expecting it to be from a human but he couldn't figure out whose it was but it definitely wasn't human. With this peaking his interest he walked down the hill to get a better look.

Meanwhile down on the cliff

"Stay away from me! Haven't you people caused me enough pain already!", the girl yelled, wavering slightly before shaking her head to ward off the dizzying sensation.

She'd been running from G.U.N. for a full day now, and she'd already gotten 2 dagger wounds; one on her left arm, which she had managed to bandage with the cloth from her right sleeve; and one in her side, between her two lower ribs, she had her right hand over it to try and stop the bleeding but to no avail. And to make things worse, her wings, a large pair of bat-like ones that were black on the outside and blue on the inside, were full of dagger cuts and bullet holes. She loved her wings and considered them her best feature, although she wasn't one to care about appearances, and she almost ripped the throats out of the soldiers who in cut them. Now she had no chance of getting off this cliff.

She snapped out of her stupor as she heard a pair of footsteps coming towards her, she leapt back with a hiss which became a low growl of warning as the owner of the footsteps stopped a few feet away.

"Why don't you just give up, Lunair? We'll take good care you back at the Lab.", the commander said with a sneer as he looked into her icy blue eyes.

The girl growled menacingly, as if daring him to come closer. Her eyes widened as a wave of pain overcame her and she fell to her knees, coughing up blood and holding her side.

"Aww… what's wrong little kitty? I can make all the pains go away, and all you have to do is give up. That's the easy way, if you want to do things the hard way, I can have my men go capture your little brother." he said tauntingly as he heard her gasp at the mention of her brother. He knelt down in front of her, placed his hand under her chin and lifted her head, forcing her to look him in the eyes as he said, "And your friend, what is he anyway? Some kind of mutated lizard? Well, whatever, so what'll it be? The easy way or the hard way?"

She pulled away from his grasp and let her head fall in defeat, "Please, leave them out of this."

"Good girl.", He said as he turned to leave and nodded his head for two soldiers who were standing by to restrain her.

As the soldiers came forward, an image of herself came to mind. It was her alright except this one was the younger her, it had grayish-silver fur with black spotting, silver eyes and no wings and not to mention it looked more confident and determined looking than she was now, 'What do you think you're doing!? You're just going to give up?', it snapped loudly.

'But he said he'd leave my brother and Arte-', Lunair tried before she was cut off.

'You know better than to believe what that lying sleaze ball of a human says!', it retaliated angrily, completely dominant in this argument.

'But-', she tried again meekly.

'BUT nothing! Look you know as well as I do that he's not going to let them go free either. He's just going to take this chance to get you easily then they'll go after Artemis and Sol.', the gray cheetah said firmly.

'Yeah but-', she tried once more.

'Enough! NO MORE BUTS! Its like you've lost your will to fight! Don't let all that training with Artemis go to waste, and not to mention all the burns you got when you trained with your brother. You're not that weak little kitten that couldn't even take down a level four training robot. They said you were a failed project, but you have more than enough power to level half this field and then some. He believed in you and I do too.' it said, trying to build up some confidence.

'I'm not a failed experiment.' she replied sadly.

'Oh really? Then prove it, prove the others wrong. Show him, show him that what he believed was right.' the young girl said as she faded away into the darkness.

Lunair looked up, her eyes glazed over in rage, just as one of the soldiers was about to slip a muzzle on her, she twisted around and sank her two-inch canines into his wrist and jerked her head sharply, breaking the bone. He screamed in pain causing the commander to turn around in surprise to see the soldier sprawled out on the ground holding his bleeding wrist. The second soldier had his gun out as soon as she moved and shakily aimed right at her. She leapt straight at him unconcerned with the gun. He closed his eyes fired, right when she was just inches away from his face. Blood splattered his face and jacket as she flew back and landed on the ground next to the injured soldier, she gurgled as blood leaked from the side of her mouth and gasped for air while staring at him before going still. The soldier with the broken wrist whimpered and scooted away, trying to escape the cold, staring eyes.

"You fucking fool!!! She's no use to us if she's dead!!! You'd better pray to God she's not, or else it'll be your head!!!, the commander shouted furiously.

The soldier stepped forward cautiously, knelt next to the girl and checked her wounds. The whole was right were her heart was so there was no way she'd survived, but he checked for a pulse and found non. He looked up at the commander," I'm sorry sir, but there's no pulse, she's dead."

"God! Dammit!!!, he ranted before calming himself and turning away, "Attend to your partner, we'll discuss your punishment back at base.

"Yes sir. But what about the body?", he asked quietly as he wrapped the man's wounds in gauze and helped him to his feet.

"Leave it. The scavengers will take care of the rest.", he said coldly.

Everyone began to pile into the trucks and various other military vehicles and drove away. No one noticed a black hedgehog hiding in the shadows watching the whole thing.

Shadow waited until the sounds of the H.D. boosters were well out of earshot before coming out of hiding. He walked over to the girl's body and knelt next to it. He lifted her head and looked into her eyes and gasped when he saw that she was still conscious. He rolled her over onto her back and checked her wound; there was a hole in her shirt but no wound. "What are you?", he mumbled to himself.

"Th…ats my bu…bu…si…ness", she wheezed between coughs before she passed out.

Shadow smirked as he lifted the girl to her feet with an arm around her waist and her's over his shoulder. He looked over at her, thinking,' Something's telling me that my life's going to get a lot more eventful from know on, and why not, things have been quite boring as of late. But that's only if she survives her wounds, and something's telling me she will.', he thought as he pulled out his red Chaos Emerald and warped to his home.

A tree rustled as a dark figure landed in it from seemingly nowhere. It folded its massive wings and growled. It was too late as Shadow had already disappeared with the girl. Its long snake-like tail swayed from side to side in irritation as it growled again, "Umber…".

It leapt from the tree and into the air and vanished into the starry black sky.
