OK this is my first story. Some OC will be in it, but offical ones will be in it aswell. Enjoy..

It was another beautiful dark night in station square, the stars hanging high and sparkling every so minute. Gazing up upon this magical scenery a lonely hero sat, his blood red eyes shimmering in the moonlight. His thoughts focused on one person, one girl that meant so much. Muttering her name softly..

"..Maria.." he said softly.

He glanced down from the starry sky, gazing upon the city below him. All the families in their warm homes, snuggling up in the warmth of their beds. They had each other, their family, their love. But Shadow had no one. He sat by himself on that lonely hill, only his memories keeping him company. That was until a white furred bat seductively walked up behind him, her tender hands on his shoulders, her face resting close to his.

"Hi there.." She said cheerfully. "What's up. .you seem sorta down.."

"Oh Rouge" The hedgehog said surprised. "I didn't hear you come.."

"I know silly.." She said giggling. "Anyway... Eggman wants to see you...now"

The hedgehog rose to his feet, staring down at his female companion. His devil eyes deeply gazing into hers. In one hand he pulled out a glittering red emerald, clutching it tightly. The other he held her close to him, holding the emerald high above their heads.

"Chaos Control!" Shadow yelled. The two disappeared with a blue light, the grass swaying wildly with the power of the light.

Sitting confidently in his chair, Eggman sat back with a computer disk clutched securely in the palm of his hand. A wide, evil grin across his face, showing the disk had an important purpose. Bursts of light appeared behind him, he swung round in his chair to see Shadow and Rouge.

"Ah, Shadow. . .you came" Eggman said aloud. "I was dying to meet you when I found out a little secret from the military." He laughed notoriously.

"..What.." Shadow asked blankly, his face clueless. "What do the military know that I don't."

"This disk shadow.." Eggman replied, the disk held up high. "It's here..in this disk..it's all here.."

The hedgehog gazed at the disk, his head full of thoughts and questions. His hand slowly raised towards the disk, His red eyes burned deeply on the disk.

"So, Eggie.." Said Rouge. "What is on that disk..?" Her arms crossed and her foot tapping an impatient rhythm. "You do know don't you."

"Well I haven't watched it fully myself per say." He said. "Just quick clips of here and there. But..I do know what the big fuss is over it"

Shadow stood, the disk in his clutches.

"Come Rouge" He demanded in a deep voice. "Let's go" Quickly pulling out his emerald. "Chaos Control!" The two vanished again in a blue light, leaving not trace of them behind.

Somewhere down in a narrow alley, Shadow and Rouge emerged from within the blue light. They weren't far from Rouges place, they could see it in the faint distance.

"Come on Shadow" Said Rouge. "My apartment is just up and along there, see."

Pointing her finger to a block of flats.

"Fine." Shadow replied.

Before she could do anything, Shadow quickly scooped her in his arms and ran in her apartments direction. His quick speed got them there in no time flat.When they reached her apartments door he slowly placed her down on her feet, watching her movements carefully. She pushed the door open, walking inside with Shadow behind her.

"Let's play this disk, shall we" Rouge said with a cheerful smile. "Let's find out what the big mystery is.." Spreading her wings she flew sharply to her computer, slotting in the disk she sat curiously waiting. Shadow strolled in and stood at her side, arms crossed and eyes peeled to the screen.

Minutes of waiting the disk finally activated. The screen when black then what peered to be the background of the inside of Space Colony Ark.

"Is it on..is it..is it on.." A voice said in the background.

"Hold on!" Yelled another voice. "Ok..one..two..and we're live.."

Suddenly a hedgehog came to view. Similar to Shadow, black with red markings but seemed older. His thick coat swaying with his movement, his red eyes glaring at the screen.

"Hello.." He said with an evilly deep voice. " I am Sorrow, Sorrow The Hedgehog."


Yeah I know it's abit short, but it's just the start of the story, the next chapters will be longer. So what do you think, tell me honestly.
