Shadow's Duty, or Desire?

Chapter One: Last Requests

On the top of the Red Mountain in the mystic ruins, the final standoff between Sonic and Shadow against Metal Sonic was taking place,

"It's fitting that to truly become the Ultimate Overlord I should defeat the Ultimate life form and the Legend of speed both at once!" Metal sonic said in a shrill tone "Not even you will be able to stop me Shadow! I am superior!"

Shadow was enraged by Metal Sonics arrogance and charged; knocking metal Sonic into the ground, Sonic then attacked using a spin dash sending his Metal counterpart flying backwards, Shadow then leaped high in the air, pulled out the green chaos emerald and yelled;

"Chaos Spear!" when the powerful blast struck it sent up a lot of dust, Shadow landed as lightly as if he was a feather, Sonic said to him;

"Well, I guess it's over." But then Metal Sonic rushed towards Shadow from the cloud of dust as he was walking away, out of corner of his eye, Sonic saw this and just in time to save him, pushed Shadow out of the way.

When Sonic was rammed, both he and Metal Sonic went flying off the edge of the cliff. Shadow immediately got back to his feet and looked over the edge, he could see neither of the two that had fell.

Shadow raced to the bottom of the cliff and searched until he spotted Sonic lying on his back with several parts of the loathsome robot protruding from his body, he also had a large gash in the side of his head, Shadow could see that he was only just clinging on to life and ran over,

"Hey Shadow, what took ya?" Sonic said in his usual humorous tone but with a slight gasp,

"Sonic!" Shadow shouted, half way between annoyance and worry,

"Shadow, I know this is it, so just do one thing for me,"

"What is it?" Shadow asked

"I want you to take care of Amy, tell her I'm sorry I could never give her what she wanted," Sonic replied

"I will, I'll protect her until my last breath." Shadow vowed "On my life I swear." Sonic coughed up some blood, then said with his final words he said in a choking voice;

"Thank you Shadow..." Sonic then closed his eyes and drew his last breath.

"Sonic?……Sonic!" Shadow shook his shoulder, then lowered his head. His head then shot up and he kicked Metal Sonics head in anger, then he let out a surge of energy.

"Why?! Why does he always have to save everyone!?" Shadow shouted to the emptiness. He walked over to Sonic and picked up his lifeless body and carried his fallen comrade from the battlefield, a single tear escaped his eye.

Believe me, all of my chapters are going to be pretty short, but there will be a good few of them, also, there probably will be a sequel to this whole story, but that will come later most likely, much later.
