A lonely black and red figure laid back in the pit of dirt and pushed into the wall opening. He looked up at the dirt above his head and sighed, feeling the dust bristle against his nose. He closed his eyes and crossed his legs, careful not to touch the gun hidden under the blankets. He breathed in and out serenely, feeling sleep rise over him like a blanket.
"Hello?" a childish voice cried. "Is anyone down there?" The figure bared his teeth and growled a warning, that he was sure the person was ignoring. He kicked off the wall and into the open, puffing his chest out proudly.
"What do you want?" He asked gruffly. "Do I know you?"
The calling person was a bright pink with blue-green eyes and a black nose. She was wearing a red and white dress and had shoulder length hair that was the same pink tint as her skin.
"Of course! Don't you remember? Amy Rose?" She asked. The red and black figure searched his memories for that name. The furthest he could remember was a white explosion and a blue hedgehog and one golden ring falling from the sky. Nothing about an Amy Rose.
"I don't know you, get away from here." he replied, matting down his fur. The pink hedgehog frowned and glared at the figure.
"Shadow, I don't know what's gotten into you but you'd better fix it and quick. Before I have the right mind to return to Sonic." she growled before storming off.
Shadow? He thought. Is that my name? And why does that girl seem a bit familiar now? He hopped from side to side of the pit to the top and streaked after the pink girl, calling her name as he went.
:~:AMY:~:
The nerve of him! Oh it gets my hair curled up and my anger flares my fur red. I suppose he's playing hard to get and you know what? I don't want to play. I've already won. Game over.
I Heard yowls and cries from behind me and I recognized them as Shadow's voice. See? I won the game long ago.
"what?" I asked, turning around. Shadow was surprisingly close, seeing as he was half a mile away a second ago. Shadow examined my face like it was a crime scene.
"What?" I repeated, more forcefully.
"you seem familiar, like I know you but I don't." He replied. I rolled my eyes and kept walking until he grabbed my shoulder.
"Please, help me remember. Help me remember my past." He breathed. "I need to know." I sighed a long breath and grabbed his hand.
"We'll go see Sonic, he'll help you." I answered. Shadow smiled and followed me down the street and into Solstice town.
:~:Shadow:~:
This girl is..hard to describe. My mental picture of her is blurry but at least I have one, that's a start. She's taking me to a Sonic whoever that is, and she mentioned something about a blue bunny and a white and purple wolf somewhere in her rant about who I was. That I had no intention of listening to by the way. But I sighed and followed her anyway, all the way into a pearly white house deep in the thick orchid of Solstice town.
Amy "politely" slammed her fist on the door and shouted, "Icy! Sonic, Rubika! OPEN UP IN THERE!" I nearly smiled but the feeling wiped away swiftly. The door swung open and a young white wolf with a white stripe down her head stood there. Amy stared down at the wolf and smiled.
"Hi! Can we come in? We need to speak with your father." she said. Rubika stepped to the side and gestured inside the house. Amy stepped inside and slipped Rubika a lollipop from her dress pocket. Rubika smiled and ran off, disappearing into the marble hallway of the home.
I stepped ahead of Amy and opened the large blue and amethyst door, revealing a blue velvet covered room with a giant glass chandelier hanging from the ceiling and stained glass windows. A blue hedgehog read a book by the fireplace and a blue bunny sat beside him, watching something on television.
"ahem!" Amy coughed. Both the bunny and the hedgehog looked up and their faces lit up with surprise.
"Shadow!" they cried, leaping up and running at me. The hedgehog grabbed me and gave me a manly hug, and the rabbit shook my hand.
"It's been forever! So much has happened! Where have you been?" the rabbit questioned. I raised an eyebrow at the people and stepped back.
"I don't have any idea who either of you are, but Amy said I was here to restore my memory." I replied, a cautious feeling creeping in.
Sonic sighed and clapped his hands and streams upon streams of creatures stepped down the stairs and lined up before me. The first to approach was a purple me, with silver rings. She looked at me with curiosity and hugged me, while I pushed her away gently.
"Is it really you?" She asked. I sized the girl up and sighed long and loud.
"I might be, and if I am I don't remember it at all. I don't know anyone of these people." I replied.
The girl frowned and made a little choking sound in the back of her throat. She wiped her mouth awkwardly and ran off, into the marble expansions. I smiled sheepishly and looked into the crowd.
"Anyone want to try bringing my memory back?" I asked. There were murmurs of disagreement and discord, but nobody stepped forward. A deep, rumbling voice boomed around the mansion/house, throwing in several laughs along the way.
"Ah Shadow, you are still as daft-minded as before. I know two people that can get you your memory back." The voice rumbled. Sonic stepped forward into the house and growled.
"Mephiles! Leave us be! Unless these things are true." He shouted. Mephiles appeared in his crystallized form, his magenta eyes flashing about.
"One, is his very own blood brother that has now left from our cosmos map. And the second one is my apprentice! However, she is- different. She is a cat, yet with wolf and hedgehog blood streaming through her veins. I have brought her with me." He replied. Sonic crossed his arms and frowned.
"prove it!" he responded. Mephiles floated aside, revealing a small hedge-cat thing with her arms crossed and a very deep poker face on.
"Mercy, these are the people." Mephiles said. Mercy nodded, not an emotion falling from her. I growled and turned around storming away.
"I don't need this, you people are CRAZY!" I screamed. Right before I took another step, I heard Mercy's first words.
"Mephiles, why does father not even spare me a word?"
