CHAPTER 2: SIR SONIC THE HEDGEHOG IS DEAD, OR IS HE? (SHADOW'S POV) I felt Sonic's body go limp and grabbed him before he hit the ground. "Sonic! Sonic wake up! Please Sonic!" I screamed as I shook him and Merlina tried her spells. Nothing. "My lord, I am so sorry, but it seems that this knight is dead." she said as she bowed in respect for the dead knight in my arm. "Sir Sonic The Hedgehog," I sobbed as tears ran freely down my muzzel. "Knight of the Wind," I spokee louder as I stood up, his hand still in mine. "Is dead. Long live Sir Sonic." I finished. I looked out into the large croud that had formed during the battle. "Sir Sonic The Hedgehog, Knight of the Wind and Round Table of this kingdom, is dead. Long live Sir Sonic The Hedgehog!" I yelled out as all the citizens bowed in honor of the dead knight who's hand I held firm in my grasp. "He will be forever remebered for his kindness, streangth, love, and companionship to me and to many of you. For those of you who didn't know him, he was a great knight and loyal lover for the short relationship we had. I am not afraid to say I loved him and that I will always. And may God have mercey on the souls of the beings who did this, for when I find there creator, they will die for what they have done." I finished as I let yet another tear fall from my eyes and onto Sonic's hand intertwinded in mine. Merlina took out a green colored locket and Sonic's body was sucked into it, she then handed it to me carefully. "Keep this safe, with him inside it he will forever be in limbo and with you." she said. I took the locket and placed it on my neck as I thought of all the good times me and him have had. (SONIC'S POV) I lay lifeless in a soft green glow as I relize I am able to see from my own eyes! I look around, still unable to move, and see I am in some kind of locket around Shadow's neck and I can hear his sobs rumble in his chest. 'I must find the will to move! Come on legs, work!' I yelled at myself in my head as I managed to sit up slightly. After what felt like hours I saw we had come to Tails's house to morn me. By this time I could move quite well and I stood up all the way and foucused on my air intake. I took a deep breath and yelled, "Shadow~!" as loud as I could. every head and eye turnedd in shock to the locket. I feel back on my butt when the locket was ripped from Shadow's neck and opened to set me free. I spilled out and grew to my original size as Shadow stared in shock at me. "S-Sonic?" he asked in a whisper as he reached out to touch me. "Is that really you?" he added as his hands touched my cheeks. "Yes Shadz, it's me. I love you, my lord." I said bowing my head into his hands. He lightly chuckled and threw his arms around me and kissed me with an undieing passion. Several people in the room gasped but we didn't care, we kept the kiss going till we were nearly blue, well me bluer. We then pulled away for air. "I love you Sonikku, never leave me like that again!" he said as I saw tears spring to my kings eyes. I quickly whipped them away and smiled. "I won't. I promise. I love you." I said as more gasps filled the are at what we had said. "Sonic, your in love with our king? Of all the people you know, the king!?" Knuckles roared as he flung his arms in the air in furry. "Knuckles! What is the matter with you? I can love whom I wish and there is nothing you could ever do to stop that!" I screamed as Knuckles roared again in furry as I clung to the arm of my King and my lover. He began to slowly stalk towards us and I got into a protective stance in front of my King. "My Lord, I, Knuckles The Echinda, am no longer your Knight. I quit!" and with that he speed away as fast as his armor covered body would allow. I slowly looked up at my King in worry that he would be hurt to only see him, smiling?

"Oh how I've waited for that!" He chuckled as he looked into my worried eyes. "It's ok love. I wanted him gone, he loves you but I will never let him have you. You're mine." He said as he took my chin in his hand and placed a tender kiss on my lips. "I love you, Sonic The Hedgehog. Forever." Shadow said calmly as he looked into my eyes with lovingness and pure joy. "I love you too, Shadow The Hedgehog, King of Mobius." I said happily as I returned the love filled look with a sweet, loving, smile. "I love you." I repeated as all our friends clapped and bowed to there King, and maybe even future Queen.
