(Sonic)

Sonic was pushed into his cell, the odd markings on the white wall catching his eye. One of the guards gave a dissapointed look towards the speed runner before taking himself out of sonic's "new" home. The colbalt coloured hedgehog resting his back against the wall and slid down, his feet crossed at the ankles.

"Guess it won't be that bad" Sonic murmured to himself, his bright green eyes lookig at the mathmatic looking markings. His brain tried to take in what it was seeing but clearly failed. "Who was in here before me? And what was his plan?" Ark was written quite frequently amongst the white wall.
Ark. Ark. I'm sure I've heard that before, sonic wondered with High level of curiosity shrugged one of his shoulder and gave a loud yawn into the bubble he was trapped in. I guess it could be my time to relax and not thinking about that egg-head who appeared uninvited to everything.

(Shadow)

"What do I have to do master"
Shadow spoke with pure admiration for the guy who saved him from his dark abyss. Dr eggman rubbed his long, spikey moustache and continued to think of his master plot.

Rouge, the bat always flirting with everyman she see's had a dangerous tint in her eye. It was almost like Rouge has something planned in the task we will be performing soon. One of her gloved hands rested on a leather covered hip as a smirk was spreading on her face. Shadow knew something was wrong but if the boss trusts her, then he does.

"So this is what were going to do. Rouge will retrieve the chaos emeralds located in the vault. You, Shadow will go to the armoury and plant this bomb which will blow the whole prison island to tiny little pieces. And if you both get into trouble you are on your own" Dr eggman sped off into the air in his machine which left both Shadow and Rouge.

Rouge shot off into the air and flew towards prison island while The ebony hedgehog took a more traditional way. Shadow glid across the folliage of the green forest, The crunch of twigs making the hedgehog's sensitive ears twitch. The prison was amongst site of his burning gaze as he sped up ever so slowly towards the stone wall.

Rouge was waiting with a hand on her hip. He slowed down so he was next to her, waiting for their master to shoot the door so they have a entrance.

A squeal was sounded behind Shadow as arms wrapped tightly around his chest and arms. "Oh sonic! I came here to free you but I see you did that yourself!" The squeaky girl spoke before pulling back, rouge sending her a evil smirk. The girl gave squeal and shouted your not sonic and rushed away.

Egg-man sounded close as he hovered over the duo's head. Shadow turned his head to take a glance at the girl to see she was pink and also a hedgehog. She must be Sonic's girlfiend or very close friend, the ebony thought to himself.

Suddenly the entrance got blow up by one of eggman's rockets as he said"Remember the plan you two. Make me proud" Rouge and shadow both rushed in before going their seperate way's to their required locations.

Sirens echoed everywhere through the prison, a voice over the loud noise saying; all communications are down from unknown susbstance. All communications down from unknown substance. A dangerous smirk spread across my the ultimate lifeform's face as he glid towards the armoury,
which was in the hedgehog's red eyed view, pulling the bomb put of the side of his shoe. He stuck the bomb onto the metal doors, turning to his speaker.
"Master, the bomb is all set but we just need to fix the right time" He spoke before eggman instantly spoke back to the hedgehog. "Put the timer on for 15 minutes. Is that enough for you Rouge" The bat spoke with excitment and said "I'll be out of here 5 minutes tops" Shadow rolled his eyes at how hopeful his companion was. "Then set it for 10 minutes Shadow"
The hedgehog did exactly that and began doing the time and setting it off. A evil grin came onto his dark yellow muzzle, knowing that blue hedgehog will burn along side the the prison. The dark hedgehog began to rush from the scene, a cry of panic leaving the speaker above the hedgehog's head. "We just confirmed that a bomb has been planted in the armoury, everyone must evacuate! I repeat everyone must evacuate"

"Shadow. I want you to be friends with the people and help them. Please do good and not evil" Maria's sweet voice echoed in Shadow's thoughts

Maria...

He shook his head and mumbles I'm avenging you Maria. You shall be avenged! Shadow began speeding out of the prison and into the forest, tears filling his dark red eyes.

But he can't spend a second alone when a certain blue hedgehog screamed his name. Immediatly he came to a hault, Shadow's fist clenched so tight that it looked like his bones will snap. "I want to know who are you and why are you working for dr eggman"
His soft voice said to the ebony hedgehog who felt like any moment now he will blow. "all you need to know is I'm working with eggman for a reason. She needs to be avenged!" Shadow screamed with anger, his fists flying towards the colbalt coloured also began throwing his fist, catching Shadow's cheek, which knocked him back. The hero hedgehog took this chance to sweep his legs from under him, just like what Shadow did for their first meeting. When the dark hedgehog was down, Sonic sat on his stomach to keep him pinned.

"You answer my questions, I let you go. Fair deal?" Shadow snarled loudly up towards the smug blue hedgehog. "When I get free I'm going to Chaos spear you so bad you won't know what is happening" Sonic gave a small laugh full of humour before squeezing Shadow's nose like they were old friends.
The ebony hedgehog gave a snarl and went to bite his hand, missing by a complete long shot.

"Who is this girl you are avenging?
Partner, Friend, sister, mother etc?" Sonic spoke with pure interest, Shadow's liking to the hedgehog decreasing rapidly. "I don't see how it's any of your business imposter" Sonic rolled his eyes at the Hedgehog before Shadow remebered the timer for the bomb.

"If you don't let me go then we're both going to be cooked on this island. Ask questions later if you must but I didn't come tis fair to die tragically because Sonic wants to be a nosy"

Surprisingly the azure followed the rules of the older hedgehog, lifting himself off his ebony stomach. They both began to run, Sonic going Tails and Amy's direction while Shadow ran towards Rouge's direction. Shadow turned his head to look at the blue hedgehog speed off, a frown on his lips. He knew the faker was going to be a problem. He knew.
