T: Here is the second chapter to Shadow's adventure.

Shadow: I never agreed to doing this chapter!

T: (Holds the Shadow Rifle mk2) Any objections?

Shadow: gulp no...

T: Good, now on with the story. And thanks for the positive reviews Music-Luver94, The Sole Survivor and Dennisthefox.

Shadow ran along the highway that lead into Westopolis, he ran a little faster when he saw laser beams aiming for the city and the ground near him. He then used a conviently placed dash panel that sent him soaring into the air. He then began to plummet downwards in the middle of a couple of buildings.

"Hmm, 'promised time' huh? Well then, better go and fulfil this – OHH RINGS!!" Shadow flailed about making crazy noises as he tried to obtain some rings on the way down.

He had managed to acquire 33 rings, he landed on the ground and ran forward towards another dash panel and went for flying lessons over a bottomless pit.

When the hell did Westopolis have a bottomless pit in the middle of the city?

When Shadow landed on the ground, he touched a nearby save point hoping to record his current progress. When he touched it, the machine projected some writing that said '10 rings please'. Shadow became quite angered at the machine, instead of giving him 10 rings; it wanted him to give it 10 rings.

"Bloody Unbelievable..." Shadow inserted 10 rings into the machine. It sprung to life showing a message saying 'Shadow was here'.

Shadow then moved forward a few steps to see a guard get struck down by a laser, which was very amusing. Shadow then noticed that the soldier had dropped his gun, he went over and inspected it. It seemed to have 10 bullets in it exactly; he then began to get a sudden urge to pick it up.

Why is it that I want to pick up this gun and use it?

Shadow quickly looked around to see if anyone was looking, when he was confident, he swiped up the gun and began giggling like an excited child. After moving forward a bit he saw what looked like a hawk but it looked like one of the aliens, he greeted it with a bullet from his gun. As he jumped down a small cliff, he saw the faker there, standing in one place.

The blue hedgehog noticed him and gave him a grin and a thumbs up.

"Hey Shadow old buddy, long time no see!" Sonic sounded quite happy to see him.

"First off, I'm not your buddy, second of all, what happened to your voice and thirdly, what are you doing here?" Shadow was pointing at Sonic.

"Well let's see, hostile aliens attacking a city...I am a hero...I guess I just wanted a chilli dog. What do you think Shadow!? I am here to help GUN destroy these aliens and also I'm your character assistant. And what do you mean, 'what happened to my voice', I sound quite cool I think!" Sonic was standing in one of his taunting poses.

"Yeah right, keep telling yourself that. By the way, you're an assist what?" Shadow had raised an eyebrow at Sonic's words.

"You know, here to guide you down the path of good, to tell you to stop attacking the good guys."

"Oh, still doesn't make sense but anyway come on." Shadow and Sonic then ran forward before noticing a guard attempting to shoot the aliens, it didn't help that he was aiming in the complete opposite direction.

Shadow jumped in the air and performed a homing attack on the guard for his stupidity, then picked up his ammo and used the gun to shoot the black aliens that were laughing at the guard's crappy aim.

"Stop that Shadow! He's a good guy!" Sonic ran in front of Shadow, waving his arms around in the air.

"But he's still alive, and I destroyed three aliens as well. Doesn't the good outweigh the bad?"

"No!" Was Sonic's reply. Shadow was really considering shooting Sonic in the face, but that would defeat the purpose of his quest.

"Hmph!" Shadow then continued running down the road, shooting a black hawk that was trying to chat up a pigeon. He then saw three guards trying to shoot an alien that was slowly walking to the left and right; it mocked their crappy aim by slapping its but.

"Those GUN soldiers look like they're having a hard time taking down that alien! Let's help them out Shadow!"

"Nice detective work inspector 'point out the obvious'" Shadow then skilfully jumped over the soldiers head and shot the alien point-blank in the face. It erupted in a green explosion of blood which covered Sonic and Shadow's fur.

"AH! MY FUR!! MY BEAUTIFUL FUR!!" Shadow was rolling on the ground trying to get the green blood off him.

Sonic and the GUN soldiers just stared at Shadow's craziness, Sonic was starting to have second thoughts on helping Shadow and the GUN soldiers just decided to randomly shoot Shadow out of thanks for helping them.

BANG

"Damn it!" Shadow lost 10 rings and went flying back a bit.

He lay on the floor for a brief second before getting all his rings back. Sonic was shocked at seeing the humans shoot one of the world's saviours.

"What are you doing?" Sonic and Shadow said at the same time.

"Just doing what we feel like doing and we feel like shooting two heroic hedgehogs." They tried to shoot him again and again.

Shadow and Sonic then legged it to find a cage holding a Chaos Emerald.

"Hey Shadow, that's one of the Chaos Emeralds!" Sonic looked like he had never seen a Chaos Emerald before.

"Once again inspector, brilliant work." Shadow picked up the emerald and stored it in his quills.

He then performed a homing attack on the spring and went flying up the cliff. He thought he heard Sonic blabbering on about the Chaos Emerald, but was deafened from the laser blasts. When he landed he took a few steps forward before he saw a familiar starfish.

"You are late, Shadow!" The starfish had returned and was looking at him.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!! YOU AGAIN!!" Shadow was pointing at the strange alien with a fear struck face.

"Yes, muahahahaa! But anyway, we need your help. We need you to take down these annoying humans who dare to defy me!! I mean, they obviously don't know who I am!!" The starfish looked rather angry.

"Actually, I still don't know you either." Shadow wondered why Sonic hadn't said any smartass comments.

"I am Black Doom!! Leader of the Black Arms!! And this is my eye, Doom's eye!" Doom's eye did a little pose looking impressive.

"Yeah, well what do you want?"

"...Please tell me your amnesia isn't this bad?" Doom's eye had a frown on it's...eye.

"Wait...I have amnesia! OH MY GOD!!" Shadow was surprised beyond being surprised.

"...Never mind...GO BLOW SOMETHING UP!!" Doom's eye was pointing toward the GUN soldiers that were for some scary reason, doing ballet in the middle of all this.

"You know, Sonic wouldn't allow this." Shadow knew what Sonic would do the second he would so much as breath on them.

"Ah, but Sonic isn't here."

"He isn't?" Shadow looked around to see no sign of the faker.

"SWEET!!" Shadow was so happy that he swapped the pitiful handgun he currently held and brought out the Shadow Rifle.

"Indeed, only one of us can be present, otherwise the universe will implode and become altered beyond repair! Also I am here to guide you down the road of EVIL!! Trust me...its jolly good fun!" Doom's eye was flying all over the place.

"Now, DESTROY!!" Shadow at hearing the starfish speak ran toward the ballet dancing soldiers and tapped them on the shoulder.

The guards turned around to meet the Shadow Rifle's bullets in their faces. Shadow started to laugh like the crazy hedgehog he was.

"Excellent, I knew behind that stupid amnesia was a heartless warrior!" Doom's eye was smiling (?) a great big smile.

Wait...I'm not like this...I am good hearted hero who wished to save the world.

Shadow then saw another guard that was gasping at his fallen friends, instead of helping them, he just merely pointed at them and gasped some more. Shadow quickly shot the stupid human and started jumping up and down on his body.

Phft, yeah right!!

Shadow then ran down the path, destroying just about anything that appeared in his path, including the black aliens themselves.

"Shadow! Stop attacking my soldiers." Doom's eye was jumping up and down with a strange facial expression.

"But they were trying to kill me!!"

"That's no excuse! Allow them!!" Doom's eye was floating an inch from Shadow's face.

Shadow then kicked Doom's eye right in the eye which caused him to cry out in pain and go flying into the sky.

"SONIC!?" Shadow called for the blue faker, and just as he expected Sonic popped out of nowhere.

"Hi Shadow, miss me?" Sonic had his ever famous grin on his face.

"...No. I just couldn't stand that starfish any longer." Shadow and Sonic then continued to run through Westopolis, destroying all the black aliens that came in their path.

"Shadow, watch out for the-"

At that second Shadow was hit by a laser beam from the black aliens.

"Damn it!" Shadow said the most famous line in all existence.

"...laser beams, they cause a shockwave..." Sonic was looking scared at the black hedgehog who was aiming the Shadow Rifle at Sonic's face.

"Don't...ever...point out...the obvious...again!" Shadow's eye was twitching at his blue companion.

After getting back up, they ran down the next road. What neither of them saw was Black doom's eye holding a baseball bat, getting to smack Sonic right in the gut and into next Tuesday. Sonic tried to stop but due to his speed, went running right into Black doom's baseball bat.

"FORE!!" Doom's eye swung a really strong strike into Sonic.

"AAAHHHHHHHH!!" Sonic flew into the sky and disappeared in a flash.

"So long good guy! Hello bad guy!" Doom's eye was rubbing his tentacles together like a pair of hands.

"What do you want?" Shadow was a bit sick of the starfish's presence.

"FOR YOU TO KILL SOME HUMANS!!"

"Okay..."

"Really? Sweet! Go forth!!" Doom's eye pointed forth to the dash panel that lead to the next area.

Shadow had decided to kill just about all the black aliens. Ignoring the winging starfish, later on as he was running down the road, he encountered Sonic who was aiming a sniper rifle at Doom's eye.

"Oh no!" Doom's eye was shot right in the eye.

"AHHH!!" Doom's eye had retreated into some random rubble to cry about how his beautiful eye had been shot.

"Sonic?" Shadow was surprised to see Sonic using a weapon.

"Yes indeed Shadow, tis I!" Sonic then ate the sniper rifle in one whole bite. This had Shadow raise an eyebrow at him.

"Didn't you say no one would catch you using a gun?" Shadow recalled Sonic's speech about how guns were bad, he was temporarily deaf for 2 weeks.

"Yeah, but no one saw me did they? Now come on Shadow! We've nearly got all the aliens, only 4 left." Sonic said holding up four fingers.

"Really? I thought there would have been more." Shadow had a look at the guide for this level, it stated there was 45 aliens.

Ignoring this, Sonic and Shadow killed three more aliens and were now hunting down the last black alien. This however proved to be quite difficult, Sonic and Shadow had split up to find the bugger, but no luck.

Sonic had searched under random rocks and checked inside buildings to see if it was anywhere. Shadow had scaled a tall building to see if he could see it from a bird's eye view, nothing. After an hour's worth of searching, the hero's met up at a random destroyed pizza hut.

"Any luck?"

"Nothing, this alien is excellent at hiding. I wish I could do this when Amy is in stalker mode."

Shadow snorted quickly, before Doom's eye appeared again. He was laughing faster than anything on earth.

"YOU WILL NEVER FIND HIM! FOR HE IS ME!! AHAHAHAHAHAA...crap." He had a sheepish look as Shadow and Sonic smiled evilly at each other before turning toward Doom's eye. They leapt in the air and started to jump up and down on him, effectively squashing him.

"NO! STOP!! Bleh!" Black Doom's eye had been destroyed.

The screen then flashed white before later revealing Shadow summoning a Chaos Emerald to him, he made various 'HAAH!' noises as the emerald landed in his hand.

"Disgusting black aliens, begone!!" Shadow and Sonic stood in a victory pose looking cool.

Various things flew onto the screen, one saying 'Hero mission complete'. Then the long awaited 'result' appeared. It was an 'E'.

"Nice job Shadow, you got an E. HA!" Sonic couldn't help but taunt Shadow for his crapiness.

"Shut up! 'E' stands for 'Excellent'! Plus, I have two Chaos Emeralds, how many do you have? Oh let me think...NONE! HAHAHAHAHAA!" Shadow then shot off into the distance leaving Sonic frozen on the spot. Sonic attempted to move, but reallised he was stuck on the spot.

"No, can't move. Damn glue." Shadow had placed glue on the spot where Sonic would stand for the result screen.

"SONIC!?" A certain female voice rang through the air.

"No...not Amy!" Sonic started to try and pull himself off the glue, but it was too late, she had him.

"Oh, Sonic, it's great to see you again!" Amy snuggled into her blue hero.

Shadow was laughing like he had just obtained the pure hero/dark ending; he loved to see that cursed blue hedgehog get tortured by Amy.

Shadow: Hahahaa. Yes, suffer Sonic!!

T: Sorry about him, he needs to get back in his cage. Till next time!
