Chosen
Shadow the Hedgehog…
A mysterious hedgehog who used to rival with Sonic. Now, nobody even knows he's still alive. After his presumed death, nobody thinks of him anymore. They think he's dead, but he's not. Shadow is now living in a homeless place with other homeless people. This place is the only other place on Earth that doesn't even know Shadow. Since then, Shadow has been living in a dump. He did not want to go here, but he was brought here by security men who found him nearly dead in a desert. Since then, he's been living here.
One day, Shadow was receiving his dinner from the security men. Shadow was wearing a hood, connecting to a cape, around his head to conceal his identity. Suddenly, one of the other homeless men grabbed his hood and pinned him against the wall.
"Think you're so tough with your little hoodie don't ya'? We'll see about that!" He tore off Shadow's hood, and when Shadow's face was revealed, everyone was stunned for a brief moment.
"Well, well, look what we have here! An oddball of the bunch! I should send you to hell where you belong!"
Shadow was now ticked off. "Be careful what you wish for!" he said. Shadow grabbed the hobo's arms and threw him backwards. Now everybody wanted to get into the fight. They started attacking Shadow, but Shadow was dodging every possible attack, and he was counterattacking. No matter how many times the hobos tried to attack Shadow, they kept on missing. When Shadow finished the last one, he was then arrested and thrown in jail. Shadow was still ticked off.
"Why am I in here?" he asked the security men. "I was just protecting myself!"
"Tough luck!" the man replied. When both men turned around and left, Shadow flipped them off. Shadow sat down, depressed that he is down in the dumps, but suddenly, a visitor came in.
Shadow looked to see who it was. It was nobody he knew, and this person wore a cloak around its entire body. All that Shadow knew was that the figure was a female
"I saw that battle earlier Shadow." The masked figure said. "I was impressed with your hand-to-hand combat skill and your amazing strength."
"Yeah well, why do you care? I don't even know you!" Shadow replied.
"Don't get so mad Shadow. I am actually planning to get you out of here and bring your skills to the next level."
"Ha! And how will you do that?" Shadow asked.
"Because, tomorrow when you wake up, you will be released, and I will be waiting for you outside. I will tell you everything of what you need to do tomorrow. You may actually be surprised of what you can do. You, Shadow the Hedgehog, have been chosen for the task. You are strong enough, but right now, you might not know it."
And with that, the figure left, leaving Shadow all confused.
"I know that I am the strongest thing alive. There's nothing I don't know! I am the ultimate life form!" Shadow said to himself. But Shadow forgot all about it, and went to sleep that night. Now, he has been chosen.
