Chapter 1: Freak On A Leash
The air was cool in the night as Shadow stood over the city of Station Sqaure. It had been 5 years since he saved the earth from Black Doom's asteroid, and although he had been recognized as a hero, he didn't want the attention. He just wanted to be alone. Lighting a cigarette, Shadow scowled, taking a hit of the tobacco.
"Fucking humans" he muttered "I hate them"
Suddenly a huge shadow began to loom over the city. Shadow glanced up to see what it was. It was the Egg Carrier Mk 3, with Eggman surely on board. Suddenly, the giant screens in Station Square flickered on and Eggman appeared on them.
He howled in laughter as the crowd below stared in shock at the screen. Finally he spoke
"GREETINGS EVERYONE" he echoed "I AM DR EGGMAN! I'M SURE BY NOW YOU ARE AWARE OF THE APPEARANCE OF MY GLORIOUS EGG CARRIER MK3. SUCH A FINE PIECE OF CRAFT, HMM?"
Shadow scowled
What was that fat egg shaped motherfucker doing now? He'd die for this!
"NOW" Eggman continued "MY REQUEST IS SIMPLE. ALLOW ME TO TAKE OVER THIS CITY AND I ALL SPARE YOU ALL. IF NOT-"
He paused and smirked, curling his mustache
"THEN I KILL YOU ALL!"
The crowd erupted into a rapt of screams and terror as Eggman cackled. The screen flickered off and everyone devolved into madness. The streets erupted into riots and fights. Shadow scowled at them all and lit an illegal marijuana cigarette. He inhaled and smirked and said "I don't give a fuck what happens to these stupid fucking humans"
He turned to walk away when suddenly he stopped. His mind began racing as he recalled his final days in ARK, his promise to Maria. He scowled and took another hit of the blunt.
"Fuck" he muttered "Guess I better help then"
Shadow turned and leaped from the rooftop, doing a backflip and landing in his black Mustang on the streets below. Putting a Linkin Park CD into the CD player, he hit the gas and sped off to Sonic's house
