Shadow part in the game story I have been challenged to create.

OMEGA has gone array a familiar yet unfamiliar hedgehog has somehow gotten the best of shadow, the story begins

Chapter one:Break In

The lone figure watched the whirling waters from a dock, he felt the calm air and envied it as it blew through his dark spines. The dock creaked behind him as another figure joined him. "Shadow"

The hedgehog looked over his shoulder with his same angry scowl he always wore but it immediately softened slightly. Rouge walked up to him holding two cones of ice cream they were both white but one had a cherry on top.

"Here, its good" she said happily insisting he take the one with the cherry, he turned to the bat a brow raised. "What is this?"

"What do you mean what is it?" she said teasingly, "its ice cream" she put it in his hand and he stared at it. She sighed tapping her foot, he looked at her an annoyed look on his face. "Don't give me that look, at least try it"

He snorted, "I don't need to eat my body needs no nutrients, you already know that" She frowned "ya but it doesn't hurt to try, right? Please." He looked at rouge that had a sad look on her face. "It's sweet so it should taste good" she pointed out as she walked paste and sat on the end of the dock looking out at the setting sun.

"And besides sweet beats sour" she liked her cone; he turned and faced the horizon. "And shadow" she looked at him, he kept his gaze up. "You are a very sour apple, so eat it." She joked looking back out over the water, shadow frowned he didn't like making her unhappy but it stung even more when she used him as a target to make herself happy again, it usually involved her silver tongue. He looked at the ice cream and sighed, It won't kill me right, he thought hesitantly he took a simple lick and scrunched his nose up making a face as thought he'd bitten into an lemon, Rouge looked at him and laughed.

"Maybe vanilla isn't your flavour." He sighed heavily and looked at her about to retort but his G.U.N. communicator on his wrist began to beep. Lucky, he thought as he gave rouge the ice cream and activated the tiny communication watch.

"Shadow here" he spoke to the machine, "agent shadow, this is the commander you and rouge need to get back immediately we have an emergency" Shadow frowned, rouge was up and she had already disposed of the two ice creams. "What is the emergency sir?"

"The team that headed to moon rock cavern has gone missing, you will gain more information when you get here" Shadow nodded to himself, rouge looked at him worriedly. "Wasn't omega part of that squad?"

He held his hand out, she frowned at the thought and knew that if shadow was intending to get there immediately then he was also worried. She handed him the red chaos emerald and he put his hand on her shoulder as he uttered the words "chaos control" everything became a blur, when it settled they were in the control room of the GUN base in Westopolis. The commander seemed to be expecting this so was not surprised like some of the other members in the room, he watched as shadow and rouge saluted then became eased once more.

"This is moon rock cavern" the commander began pointing to the large screens, a black stoned cliff face shown with an opening in it. "We had repeated complaints of some group causing trouble in this cave and so we sent a team there but we haven't heard from them for 43 hours since they've entered the cavern" Shadow frowned. "What about before was there any activity before you lost contact?"

"Yes, but you won't like it" the commander went to one of the desks and picked a small object up he clicked a button and a brisk hiss came from it, "malfunctioning I repeat E...ega is Malfun...." there was loud firing in the background then a scream then silence. Shadow closed his eyes, rouge came forward. "The-there's got to be an explanation! I-I mean Omega wouldn't attack agents unless he saw a threat" the commander placed the object down once again then got in his normal stance.

"You forget rouge, he is a machine and can malfunction, if he was tinkered with and programmed to attack us then he will..." Rouge swung her hand around in front of her face carelessly. "He wouldn't let anyone but I or shadows to do that because he trusts us so don't say that" the commander sighed.

"Did you check the cave?" shadow finally spoke breaking the tension in the silence. "Yes all the agents are alive but in critical condition, we'll have to wait for them to wake up to hear the whole story or perhaps" The whole room went dark and the lights flashed red. "INTRUDERT ALERT, INTRUDER ALERT SECTION 23" the system spoke in a robotic voice, shadow looked at the commander who gave a nod, and shadow disappeared in a flash.

"Come on, come on!" shadow reappeared in a flash of green, a strong force threw him into the wall. "Sorry chaos" the voice was familiar in a way a dark blue blur flew bye. Shadow felt fumbled for a moment but was pulled up, "Shadow, shadow you're the only one fast enough to catch that thing go!" he looked at who had him a G.U.N. grunt was helping him up while two others were catching their breath. Shadow shook his head and nodded to the grunt, he jerked forward and began chasing the intruder. The only person who could have the speed and annoying guts to push me over is only one person, he thought angrily as he tried catching the other blur.

"Sonic!" he hissed as he saw the other blur "oh-ho! Think you can fight me huh? Well lucky for you I don't have time to wipe you face all over the place! Hey that rhymes!" Shadow felt his anger rise at the challenging insult. "You're dead faker"

"You still call him that? Heh this was definitely the wrong time anyway my stop is here" the blur halted right in front of the Vault in the hall, shadow tried stopping but he knew he'd pass by before stopping and as he past the figure he met a feral golden eye. "Who?" the figure smirked and tripped the black hedgehog, shadow hit the ground hard and his vision was blurred.

"Shadow, Shadow are you ok?" he was pulled up again and rocked dizzily on his feet, pain stung at his legs from the suddenly loss of velocity. "You know you way a tone!" he looked at rouge who brushing his arm off, he was pulled his arm away and flinched in pain as he turned around. "What?"

The vault was destroyed, he walked over to the destroyed vault door and frowned. "What the, nothings gone?" rouge scoffed, shadow walked in and stumbled a few steps rouge had a grip on his shoulder so he wouldn't fall. "I'm fine let go" he shook her hand off, he sighed "of course you are" they searched around for anything missing. "Wait" he stood up from a pile of coins and closed his eyes. It wasn't in here...I had it, he thought trying to sense any chaos energy but there was no sign.

"What is it?" rouge was now beside him looking at him sideways, he growled lowly. "He stole my chaos emerald"

Rouge gave him a lop sided grin, "what? Who stole your emerald" shadow looked down and noticed something tucked in his glove, he pulled out a piece of paper folded under his black wrist band. He unfolded the note and red it.

'Your time is short master of chaos' he crushed the piece of paper he felt his spines prick up. "That hedgehog has just written his death sentence." He turned around rouge stopped him, the commander and two grunts were standing behind her.

"Agent shadow" Shadow could feel the anger boiling in his body, the commander sighed. "Bring him in, Shadow"

"What?" shadow showed confusion but shook it off and crossed his arms, rouge on the other hand kept her confusion. "Capture sonic and bring him in...Alive please" The commander watched the hedgehog as he frowned, his ears slanted forward showing his dislike to the plan. "Understood?"

"Yes Commander I'll leave immediately"
