Sonadow

Sometimes miracle's happen

Chapter one

There were flashing red lights all around the space station as two figures ran hand in hand down many hallways becoming tired and out of breath. The two were heading towards the escape capsules, where they were told to go as quickly as they could. Behind them were three military soldiers with loaded weapons in their hands and slowly catching up with the two young children. The male child sped up while pulling the female child with him by the hand. They took a sharp right and pushed their way through a door. They both crouched down and listened to the soldiers who rush passed them both while waiting inside a dully lit room huddling into one another.

They caught their breath then relaxed a little, breaking there embraced hug. The young male suddenly tensed up when he heard a noise approach them from inside the room they were hiding in and both could faintly see a dark figure, walking slowly towards the two children. As the figure approached them and they could see who it was, both were glad to see the person standing in front of them.

"G-grandfather I'm so glad you are alright, me and Shadow were so worried you wouldn't catch us up." The female child said in a slightly shaky voice.

"Yes Professor what did you go back for anyway?" Shadow asked as his ears twitched from the noises that he could hear outside of the room.

"I'm sorry to have worried you Maria and you as well Shadow but I couldn't leave without this." Professor Gerald said then revealed out of his white lab coat a green emerald that had a slight glow to it.

"What is that Professor?" Shadow asked curiously feeling a strange energy coming from the gem.

"Whatever it is, it's very pretty and it glows." Maria added as she looked at the gem also looking curiously at it.

"This is called a chaos emerald, well it's a replica of the original. I started to make it not long after we discovered your chaos abilities. For you see my son you should be able to use the energy it gives off to your advantage. Like for instance teleporting longer distances then you already can and maybe at a faster pace too. Well that's my theory anyway." Gerald explained with a small smile.

"We could use it to teleport faster to the escape pods and then get safely out of here." Maria suggested with hope shining in her eyes.

"As good of a plan that is my dear, I never got around to introducing it to Shadow. Who knows what might happen to him or us for that matter. It could end up being more dangerous than facing those GUN soldiers." Gerald explained in a sad tone as he saw the last hope in his granddaughters and Shadow's eyes disappear.

"Then what do we do? We can't just sit here and do nothing." Maria said in a fearful tone on their current situation.

"I'll hand myself in to them…What? We all know they are only up here because of me and I reckon the least I could do is end all this suffering and the deaths of innocent people." Shadow suggested in a serious tone.

"But Shadow…" Maria started to say in a sad tone but was cut short.

"But nothing Maria, if something were to ever happened to you and the Professor, I don't think I could ever live with myself knowing I could have avoided it all by handing myself over to them." Shadow announced in a scared and low tone as he thought of them dying by the hands of GUN.

"My son, we will all get out of here alive and together. By the mere mention of you sacrificing your very freedom or your very existence shows me that I have truly created and raised such a loyal and selfless being. I am proud to call you my son." Gerald stated in a loving tone and with a sincere look.

To Shadow it was as if Gerald was saying good bye and that scared him to no end, he didn't want Gerald or Maria to suffer like this in fact not at all. He tried to master up a smile at his creator and thankfully Gerald saw it as nothing more than a warm hearted smile or at least that's what Shadow thought.

"Could we at least let Shadow hold the emerald to see what will happen, I mean we have nothing to lose right?" Maria asked her grandfather in a hopeful way.

Gerald considered upon his granddaughters request and sighed at how right she was. He knew they would never get out of here as free beings. He was just about to hand Shadow the fake chaos emerald when a noise was heard on the other side of the door. They froze all movements and listened to the conversation that was being said.

"The experiment has disappeared and so has that girl it was with." One of the soldiers said in a kind of scared tone.

"Well I heard that a couple of Gerald's assistances and Gerald himself are also missing, probably no doubt planning and ordering their little pet to ambush and kill all of us." Another soldier said in a more hateful tone.

"Attention all soldiers, report to the docking bay at once the bomb is in place and set to detonate in T minus 10 minutes." The communicator of the soldiers went, causing them both to rush off in a panic.

"B-bomb!" Maria whispered in a shocked tone and shaking in fear as tears silently fell down her cheeks.

"Who is also missing? Michael and Jason of course, they're the only ones who I would trust enough to assist me with my projects." Gerald thought then said in a serious tone "We have to leave and look for Jason and Michael then head for the escape pods before the bomb explodes."

"I agree, you and Maria head for the pods and I'll search for them. If I use my super speed I can cover more ground in little to no time and we'll meet you both at the escape pod. In the events I don't make it within the next 8 and a half minutes leave without us." Shadow announced his plan in a serious tone then added "I can hear their space ships leave, this is our time to act…I will see you both later with Michael and Jason."

With that agreed Shadow left the room in search of the missing scientists while Gerald and Maria ran as fast as they could to the escape pods. Maria was again becoming out of breath which didn't go unnoticed. Gerald lifted Maria into his arms and carried her the rest of the way.

"A-almost there my d-dear…I h-hope Sh-Shadow has found them." Gerald assured his 12 year old granddaughter as he ran, now becoming out of breath himself.

They finally reached the pod but all their hopes died when they saw there was no escape pods, the soldiers shot all the pods to Earth to ensure of no escapes. They both watched the pods disappear into the atmosphere of planet Earth, glowing bright orange as they went through.

Meanwhile with Shadow, Shadow was franticly searching every nook and cranny, in every research lab and in all the bedrooms for the duo. He stopped when he heard a muffled sound coming from an abandoned room no one had used in months. As he approached the door he could hear moaning and sloppy noises. Shadow slowly pushed open the door with caution and when it was open all the way he stood in shock at what he saw.

There was Jason and Michael hugging each other closely and kissing passionately. They suddenly stopped as they both felt a presence in the door way, both looking in the direction. Seeing who it was they froze with mouths gasped open.

"W-why are you both trying to eat each other?" Shadow asked once the shock was over and done with then added with a shake of his head, "you both resorted to cannibalism already...humans can be so weird."

"W-we're not eating each other. We heard about the bomb and we were saying good bye." Michael said in a saddened tone.

"Yeah we knew we would never have made it to the escape pods since we are on the other side of the ARK so we hid in this room to have our last moments together. What you just witnessed was kissing in a passionate way." Jason added in the same tone as his lover.

"Oh…well we still has exactly 5 minutes and 27 seconds before the bomb explodes. I can chaos control us near the escape pods, that will leave us with just under 5 minutes to run like hell." Shadow explained with a playful smirk towards the two lovers.

"What's with the smirk Shadow?" Michael asked in confusion as he and Jason stood up and walked towards Shadow.

"Oh no reason…" Shadow said with that smirk still plastered upon his muzzle and when the lovers gave a 'just tell us' look Shadow added "Well If you really want to know, I had a feeling there was something going on between the two of you after Maria explained to me about couples and different types of relationships, but she didn't mention anything about eating each other err I mean kissing and junk."

When that was said and the two smiled as their answer, Shadow realised that they were wasting precious time with all this chit chat and he pulled both the scientists closer towards himself. Holding hands Shadow shouted out chaos control and with a flash of white they vanished.

They reappeared in a corridor that led to the escape pods. Shadow looked over to Michael and Jason, he noticed they looked a little disorientated with himself feeling a little drained too.

"W-well done for surviving your first chaos control warp." Shadow jokingly said with an amused grin and trying to hide the fact that he was becoming exhausted.

"Ugh I feel sick and dizzy…how can you not feel like this Shads." Jason said holding his head with one hand and his stomach with the other, leaning against the metal wall of the corridor.

"Tell me about it…it's a good job I have a strong stomach." Michael added also leaning against the wall next to Jason.

"I did at first but I got used to the feeling since I chaos control almost everywhere to save on time and to also practice the technique." Shadow stated ignoring the pet name Jason called him as he allowed the two to compose themselves for their sprint to the pods that will get them the hell out of this danger.

"Come on we have to move…we only have approximately 3 minutes and 58 seconds left to get the hell away from this ticking time bomb of an ARK." Shadow announced in a slightly panicky tone.

The three started to sprint to their destination. Shadow stayed with the two just in case they were too late, he didn't want to leave them behind especially since he has known them since his 'birth'. When the two humans and hedgehog made it to the escape pods with just over a minute to spare, they breathed out a sigh of relieve as they saw Gerald and Maria. Shadow studied their looks and frowned as they just stood there doing nothing but waiting.

"What's wrong why aren't you…" Shadow started to say then stopped as he saw there were no pods in the room to take them to safety.

"We're stuck Shadow, the soldiers shot our only escape down to Earth, there is no way out." Gerald said in a sad tone as he embraced his scared granddaughter close to himself.

Shadow couldn't believe this was it, that this was the end of them all. He couldn't and wouldn't believe that there was no way out. His stubbornness and fear took total control of his mind, kicking out any and all logic.

"Give me the fake chaos emerald…NOW!" Shadow ordered in a fearful and panicked tone.

Gerald was shocked at his creations sudden panicked order and figured they had nothing to lose now, so he obeyed and handed the fake emerald to his creation. Shadow took the emerald and closed his eyes as he felt the amount of energy and power flowing through his body. Shadow tensed up a little as a bright white glow appeared and covered the whole of his body.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow shouted out holding the emerald up high above his head, causing the light to expand and fill the entire room with a blinding white light.

When the light faded, the room was empty of any life forms.

At the core of the ARK the bomb was still ticking, it flashed a 5 then 4 then 3 then 2 and finally a 1.

In the headquarters of GUN on Earth the commander watched the ARK explode from the satellites orbiting Earth. The explosion was blinding to all who watched, a giant white light filled that entire area where the ARK stood proudly in space. When the light faded the ARK was split into many pieces, some were the size of small comets whereas others were a much smaller size. The pieces burned as they fell towards the atmosphere, leaving little to no evidence that the ARK ever existed.

"That will teach you to create monsters of mass destruction and not hand it over to GUN...listen up men I want you to scout around and destroy any evidence that falls to Earth. I don't want any traces of that hell hole of an ARK to be found." The commander whispered to himself then ordered his men in a loud and confident tone.

The soldiers obeyed and rushed off to where the pieces of the ARK might fall, all except one.

"Sir...what if that hedgehog survived? They said he was immortal..." The one soldier bravely announced.

"Then capture it. I don't want the world to know of its existence...NOW GO!" The commander ordered, watching his soldier rush off in a panic.

If only they really knew what happened just before the bomb exploded...

I know I am so mean, evil and whatever you want to call me...So review, follow, add to fab if it is up your street and want more.)
