Shadow the Hedgehog

"I am Shadow! Shadow the hedgehog!" Shadow was surrounded in yellow energy and his power rings came off. One went to Sonic while he held the other.

"You ready?" Shadow asked glaring at the falling ARK.

"Let's go!" Sonic yelled out.

"Chaos!"

"Control!" Sonic finished the shout and they both glowed brighter. Chaos Control engulfed the ARK and it vanished for about a minute. It reappeared outside of Earth's gravity field and floated safely above the planet.

"We did it! Shadow we….Shadow!" Sonic saw Shadow falling towards Earth. Sonic dove after him and tried to grab his hand. He reached the ebony male and grabbed his wrist. Shadow was half-conscious. He looked at Sonic and smirked.

"Come on Shadow! You need to help me save you! Give me your other hand!" Sonic said. It was staring to get hot and Sonic saw that they were entering the atmosphere.

"Let go faker." Shadow frowned.

"Shadow, come on!" Sonic yelled out in anger.

Shadow smiled and closed his eyes. He let go of Sonic's hand but the blue hedgehog did not release his rival's hand as easily. Shadow smiled and looked at the planet.

"Maria." He smiled with a tear falling. Sonic could not take the heat so he had to let go.

"Shadow…I'm sorry." Sonic said closing his eyes tight.

"Don't be. I did what I was created to do. I did what Maria asked." Shadow smiled. Sonic nodded and let go of Shadow's hand. Sonic covered his eyes since it was so bright when Shadow reentered the atmosphere.

Sonic floated there with his head bowed. He looked back at the ARK and saw his friends cheering inside.

Sonic smiled but looked back at the planet.

"Sayonara Shadow the Hedgehog." Sonic smiled and flew back to his friends aboard the ARK.
