New World: Prologue

"What are you going to do now?"

He doesn't move, just continues staring out the window, hand on the glass, staring down at the planet that they died protecting.

The one who spoke remains silent, just watching the watcher. He's not sure what to do. Thinking of a kind face with blue eyes, he wishes things, impossible things.

They're far too alike now, when before, they were as different as night and day. At least in the kit's case, vengeance was needed. If he hadn't stopped them, those creatures would've sucked the life force out of the planet itself.

But he still doesn't know what to do. Even though they are the same now, both alone, he doesn't know what to do. He wishes he did.

"What are you going to do?" he asks again.

For the first time, he removes his hand from the window and turns to face him. "I'm-I'm going to protect this planet. Just like they did." His voice is quiet and husky, but firm.

He smiles. "Good."

It has been a hundred years since then.

Sorry that this isn't a "new" chapter, but hopefully it was different enough to be interesting. This is the start of me revamping this story. Hopefully it will make more sense and be more interesting.

The germs of this story were planted with the help of my amazingly talented brother Inu-chan(gestures dramatically towards the website DA (or deviant art dot com) his username is Aeskhari, and he's got some really neat Sonic stuff as well as some original stuff too.) Thank you Inu, for showing me the various endings of Shadow the Hedgehog and for letting me see your art. And for not staring at me when I suddenly begin laughing like a crazy person.
