Saviors of a galaxy




As the struggle continued with the Biolizard now turned Finalhazard, the space station Ark was quickly becoming unstable. "Sonic, I don't think the space station can hold together in the atmostphere!" Tail's voice yelled over the radio that was attached to Sonic's ear.

"I know, Shadow just scored another hit! Alright! Don't worry buddy, we'll soon have this thing defeated and everyone will be safe."

"I hope so Sonic..."

"Of course everything will come out alright, when have I ever let you down?" After this statement it was Sonic's turn to have his go at the Biolizard.

Dodging through the numerous energy beams and small explosives it sent at him, he nailed one of the swelling spots hard. "Yeah, take that, you creep!"



........................

Shadow was losing power fast, though he would never admit it to the likes of that blue hedgehog. "Here I come, you creep!" He then launched himself strait at the biolizard, and knowing that if they didn't hurry no one would survive, he put all his power into the charge. "This is for Mariaaaaa!!!!!" He screamed as he ripped through the flesh of the evil lizard and came shooting out the other side.

The lizard roared in pain and drooped it's head, finally dead. "C'mon Shadow, we've got to hurry!" Sonic called as he noticed that even the tough hide of the lizard was begining to burn up.

"Way ahead of you!" Shadow said as he flew in front of the colony, somehow finding the energy to go on.

"Right." Sonic joined him in position as they both clasped hands and began to fly towards the colony.


.............................


The colony was starting to disinigrate in the atmosphere, the heat rending and tearing the metal. Knuckles was the first one to speak. "Is it just me or is getting hot in here?"

"Because we are moving at such high speeds, the colony is starting to disinigrate in the atmosphere." There was a loud explosion and the whole colony shook from the blast as Eggman finished speaking. "The fuel tanks are starting to ingnite."

"Fuel tanks?!" Amy squeaked.

"Yes, the ones for the emergency prepultion system." Eggman of course knew all about the colony as it was his grandfather that designed it.

"I think that means we're in trouble then..." Knuckles said slowly.

'Sonic, please hurry up' was the only thing on Tails' mind.

.............................


Sonic and Shadow approached the colony now, all the while gathering energy. "Ready Shadow?"

"Ready." Affirmed Shadow as he finished gathering the last of his energy.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" They both shouted simaltaneously, creating a huge orb of chaos energy among them, which engulfed the falling colony, warping it back into it's orbit.

Shadow, his energy completely expended, fell to Earth, Sonic too weak to save him. As the warmth enveloped him, he thought about how soon he would be together with Maria again, 'Reunited at last...' was his final thought as the fires of the atmosphere wrapped around him.

.............................

As Sonic flew back to the colony, his thoughts went to Shadow. 'He should have told me he was out of energy, I could have given him some of mine.' Something then hit Sonic in the shoulder as he just about had reached the colony. He grabbed it before it was out of reach, about to crush the asteroid that would dare to annoy him when he was in such a mood.

But when he held it up when he reached the colony, it turned out to be not a asteroid at all. 'Shadow's bracelet...it must have been knocked off during the fight...' Sonic clenched it in his hand tightly, and entered the colony.




A/N: Well, how was it? It's my first SA2 fic, and it wll have sequels. This is just a proluge of sorts. Review to tell me what you think. And I know I should be working on my other story, but I haven't abandoned it yet...it's just on standstill. Anyways, I'll try to write the next chapter soon.
