**... Thought ""... Dialogue
The morning was very dry & hot in the dessert, the wind blew ominously through the area... lifting dust creating clouds of sand. The dessert seemed to go on for miles and miles with the weather like this. In the very middle of it, at the most secluded spot on the desert floor, was the source of the violent winds. The Space Station Ark. Next to the ship, was a dark figure, that of a black hedgehog. It was completely still, it had bruises and burns everywhere, and it would seem that its chances for living would be slim to none. The figure's name was Shadow. A twitch here and there signaled he was still alive, but nothing more... nothing else signaled he was still mentally alive, nothing that signaled he wasn't a vegetable. Suddenly his eyes sprung open, he instantly sat up and looked around. He noticed his injuries were severe, strange enough he couldn't feel the pain he was supposed to be feeling right now, only numbness. He slowly began to stand up, that's when it hit him... a surge of pain that emitted from his whole body... but ended on his left leg, he cringed his teeth as he stood next to the spacecraft, applying his weight on his right leg. He inspected the wreckage and tried to look for some food or medical supplies that had survived the crash. For some reason he could not walk correctly, he ignored the pain on his leg but still wondered what was wrong, He sat on a piece of bent steel and inspected his leg. He soon discovered why he was limping. His leg was obviously broken, and he was a wreck, He was hoping he could at least find some water in what was left of the ship, but it seemed nothing had survived the crash. And fires were still turned on which blocked his way inside most of the ship.
"Stupid leg... *Man, that was a long fall... I wonder what happened to the rest of the Sonic Team? *" Shadow said to himself as he closely inspected the ship. "Well there is nothing here... might as well leave. I wonder how I survived the fall... maybe I had some Chaos Emerald power left or something..."
He began to limp to the top of a dune, once on top he began to look around for any sign of life and soon discovered a large city a few miles away. He instantly recognized it as Station Square.
"Well let's see... it looks as if it's only about 30 miles..." Shadow said to himself as he resumed limping towards the city "It should take me no more than a day to get there with this damn leg."
Meanwhile: Mystic Ruins. Tails Shop
Tails was repairing his airplane the Tornado 2 while Sonic sat on his couch watching the Evening news... he stayed there for most of the day. It had been two days since Ark was brought down, and Sonic couldn't help feeling bad for Shadow... sure there was nothing he could have done... but he still felt he could have done something. A few Paparazzi tried to get into the shop to ask Sonic some questions but somehow Tails managed to keep them at bay. After a long while of watching Tails' workshop on the TV, and channel surfing, He got up and walked over to Tails.
"Hey Tails how are you doing?" Sonic asked.
"Not Much, I'm almost done with the repairs on the Tornado 2. How are you feeling?" Tails asked. "You have been acting a little down, that usually doesn't happen when we defeat Egg Man."
"It's Shadow... I know I could have done something but... I couldn't." Sonic said while sitting down next to the fox.
"Sonic, there was nothing u could have done" Tails said "Don't beat yourself up over this... it's --"
"-Not my fault, I know." Sonic said. "But he was my blood you know? He was literally family."
There was a long pause between the two before Tails stood up and faced his companion.
"Well if there is anything you need just give a call..." Tails said "I haven't slept in 2 days fixing this plane, and im beat... Ill talk to you tomorrow Sonic."
"All right, im gonna go for a run, ill be back in a few." Sonic said as he took his CD player and his Blink-182 Cd.
"All right Sonic... Take care." Tails said as he slumped on the couch and instantly fell asleep. Sonic just ran out closing the door behind him & pressing play on his CD player.

I never thought I'd die alone, I laughed the loudest who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall, No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone...
I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over I'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone...
I never thought I'd die alone Another six months I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never set foot in my room again You'll close it off, you'll board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault...
I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I can still feel alive When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over, I've survived I can't wait till I get home To pass the time in my room alone...

Meanwhile: Back with Shadow...
It was late in the afternoon Shadow had gotten about 14 miles from the crash site, but he was already getting weak, he noticed an Oasis to his right and decided he would go there to rest for a while. By now Shadow was considering what looked like inevitable death.
"Im... not... gonna... make it... I've lost way too much... blood..." Shadow said to himself as he reached what appeared to be an Oasis. As he approached it... he collapsed next to a lake, "What a way to go... killed by a cheap ass desert" Shadow thought "I cant feel my body anymore... at least my shameful death wont be painful." Shadow said, he dragged his body over to a palm tree and sat against it, he couldn't stay awake any longer. He saw the trail of blood he had left behind, it was small but it was enough to scare anyone that knew he owned it. Before passing out, he saw a dark shadow move up to him... and all was dark...
Shadow had a very strange dream... nothing made sense, as most dreams don't. He saw nothing... but everything... all at once... galaxies and stars surrounded him he was moving into one of the galaxies... he saw Earth and the moon. He then saw Maria's Face on planet earth smiling at him.
"MARIA!" Shadow yelled as he tried to run for her, then everything began to fade away.
Shadow finally awoke to what appeared to be the next day, only to find a burned out fire and his leg mended.
"What the--" Shadow said before being interrupted.
"Ah, I see you are awake... I was expecting you to wake up sometime next week... you must be a very strong hedgehog." A voice said, Shadow turned to see a white male fox about the size and age of Tails. He wore baggy pants, black shoes, an empty gun holster and a black backpack with a biohazard patch on it.
"Who are you?" Shadow asked.
"The name is Seth, Seth Myers. May I ask what your named?" Seth asked.
"The name is Shadow" Shadow said as he began to stand up.
"Nice to meet you... um maybe you shouldn't stand, your leg bone is-- " Seth said before being interrupted by Shadow as he ran up a tree and nailed 2 back flips.
"-Broken. Man... Your metabolism must be incredibly fast... just yesterday your bone was broken in three places." Seth said.
"Yeah... I was built to heal fast." Shadow said as he dusted off all the burnt Quills off his body. "For instance... Ill have my quills back in 3 days."
"Built?" Seth asked now more confused than ever.
"I am a clone, I was built in a laboratory. ill explain the story later" Shadow awnsered.
"Awesome... Anyway where are you headed?" Seth asked. "I saw you limping towards this Oasis and saw u were seriously injured, what the hell happened to you?"
"Well... you know that Space station named Ark, the one that just fell?" Shadow asked.
"Yeh it was all over the news, what about it." Seth asked
"I fell from it, and apparently landed next to it." Shadow said "Don't even ask me how I survived the fall through the atmosphere, cause I don't know"
"Ok I wont ask, well anyway where were u headed?" Seth asked again.
"Um... Either the Mystic ruins or Station Square." Shadow said as he removed his binds from his leg.
"Ill go with you... " Seth said as Shadow stood up. "I have nothing better to do anyway... I was just roaming Earth for something to do."
"All right... just cause I like you..." Shadow said.
"Great" Seth said. "Lets get going!"
They walked for a few hours until Shadow got tired and told Seth to grab on to Shadows Shoulders, Shadow then blasted forward at full speed using his Rocket Skates. This impressed Seth so much he almost let go of Shadow. It had been about one hour before they reached Station Square. Shadow noticed some people were still in Celebration because of Arks fall, but later ignored it.
"Well I guess its time to look for one of the Sonic Team members." Shadow said as he started running, again, barely giving Seth a chance to grab on again.
"Your looking for Sonic the Hedgehog? Good luck" Seth said. Shadow ignoring his last comment continued running.
"Trust me... Ill find him" Shadow said. Shadow then started gathering some speed, finally reaching one of the streets. From there he stopped and looked around.
"Ok so... Amy might know where Sonic is at..." Shadow said as he then was suddenly pulled back by something.
"Hey..." Seth said. "Who are we looking for again? Sonic or this Amy chick?"
"Stop asking so many questions... you'll find out soon enough." Shadow explained.
MEANWHILE:
Tails was waking up from his couch only to find Sonic sleeping on the kitchen table, His CD Player was still on and playing, Tails carefully approached Sonic, knowing what might happen if he wakes him up by surprise.
"Sonic... Sooonic... Wake up man..." Tails whispered. Tails then poked Sonic on the shoulder, Suddenly Sonic sat up, and fell face first on the floor, as soon as he hit the floor though, the chair fell on top of him.
"Sorry about that... but I had to wake you." Tails said apologetically.
"That's ok... can I trouble you for some aspirin tho... my head hurts?" Sonic asked as he stood up from the floor picking up the chair. Suddenly loud noises came from outside, and Tails could see people flying around, suddenly a red figure came in the Shop and instantly closed the door behind him. It was Knuckles.
"Hey Knux, having trouble with the press?" Tails asked.
"Ha ha very funny... well anyway how are you all doing?" Knuckles asked as he stepped forward.
"Were Ok I guess." Sonic awnsered "How about you?"
"I was kind of hoping u guys could come up to the Island for a while." Knuckles said. "I have a feeling that something big is gonna happen really soon... and its not going to be for the better."
"Is it Egg Man?" Sonic asked now more interested in the conversation.
"I don't know... All I know is that the Super Emerald started glowing, and I saw a vision of disaster." Knuckles said. "Hence the reason I came over."
"What exactly did you see?" Tails asked.
"I saw our deaths" Knuckles awnsered. This made Sonic and Tails more nervous than ever. "They were horrible and at the hands of someone very powerful. We need to go now."
"Right!" Both Sonic and Tails awnsered as they ran out the door ignoring what was left of the conscious paparazzi.
