Well, here it is \(w)/ The sequel to "Shadow's Regret" that I've been thinking up for a long time! I hope you all enjoy this as much as you enjoyed the first story ^^ Anyway, without further ado…here is "Chaos Nazo"!
Prologue
Two years had passed since the gang defeated Black Doom and got medals from the President as well as G.U.N. Shadow and Misuki have officially become a couple. Misuki, now 18-years old spends most of her free time looking over old projects her father was working on. She completes those that were unfinished, making adjustments on them and then sending them to the Commander of G.U.N. for approval. Sometimes she goes to the G.U.N. Headquarters to talk it over with him and the engineers.
Shadow of course goes on missions with Rouge (18) for G.U.N. He goes undercover and plays the role of terrorist, drug dealer and many other roles in order to get close to the criminals and take them down from the inside. His memories of Maria and Professor Gerald make him stronger as he faces every day and the surprises that come with it.
Amy (14) and Sonic (18) also became a couple and spend many hours and days together. Sonic still runs on a regular basis whenever he feels like it. He has entered in several foot races, making it fair for the other competitors. He also got calls from national track coaches, asking if he would like to join their teams. Sonic declined all of them, saying he only races in competitions for fun.
Tails (12) draws out and creates new aircraft designs. G.U.N. sometimes calls him to do maintenance on their aircrafts.
Charmy (9) became obsessed with fireworks and anything relating to fire. Basically, he became a pyromaniac. He spends his time reading comic books, playing with action figures and lighting things on fire legally in a cleared area outside of New York. He also continues helping his teammates, Vector (22) and Espio (20) solving mysteries. Sometimes Shadow asks them to help him with his missions. Espio also teaches Charmy some ninja techniques from time to time.
As for Knuckles (19) he trains professional fighters at a local gym a few blocks away from the house. He gets paid a reasonable amount of money per hour and receives a paycheck at the end of every month.
Cream (8) is still the same innocent little girl the gang loves as a baby sister. The room she shares with Amy is filled with little dolls and teddy bears they have bought her for her birthday and Christmas. Amy plays with her almost every day, dressing the dolls and doing their hair. Cheese plays with them too, and sometimes sleeps with one of the teddy bears at night.
They still gathered together whenever Eggman threatened the safety of the people and thwart his plans.
Because Misuki and Shadow's bond is so strong, she no longer spends time alone locked up in her room mourning the death of her mother. On that day, Shadow and the others take Misuki out to do something fun and spend time with each other as not only friends, but a newly formed family. At the end of the day, Shadow and Misuki would sit on the couch in front of the television, cuddled against each other. Misuki would fall asleep in his arms and Shadow would carry her to their room and lay with her. The room that Shadow once stayed in when he first came to stay with them became an extra closet filled with clothes and some of Misuki's father's files.
Besides Eggman occasionally terrorizing New York and them on the search for Chaos Emeralds to guard and protect, everything has been peaceful and carefree.
Author's Note: I decided to make a prologue for this one just to prepare you for everyone's new personalities. As for their ages, I added two years based on the ages they were in the game 'Sonic Heroes'. The profiles gave the characters ages ^^ If Misuki aged a little, the others should as well. Except for Shadow since he's been around for over 50 years lol. Yet many profiles I read said he has the appearance of a 16-year old, so in this story he'd be 18 like Misuki.
