Shadow the Hedgehog

Kiler Instinct

Brooding

Shadow walked towards the door of club Rouge. He stopped just in front of it and turned around.

"Rouge, I'm going out." He spoke, showing no emotion at all. Rouge entered the hall and leaned against a door frame. She looked at Shadow in her usual flirtatious manner.

"Where ya goin' Shad?" She questioned.

"Just out." He replied, turning back to the door. And turning the handle.

"See ya later Shadow!" Rouge said, waving with a broad smile on her face. Shadow smirked.

"Goodbye..." He replied. How did he end up with such great friends? He had started with nothing – only the thought of revenge, but now thanks to Rouge and the others he had been given friendship, a home and a reason to live. Shadow left club Rouge and started up his hover skates. He tore through the bustling city, even though it was very late many people were still out, doing their jobs and meeting friends. Many people turned to see Shadow as he skated by at amazing speeds. He had become quite famous after he helped defeat Metal Overlord, Black Doom and the FinalHazard. Shadow reached the base of the Station Square G.U.N tower and jumped. He landed on the side of the colossal building and skated completely vertically. As he flew up the side of the building a few people waved at him – knowing that he came here a lot. He reached the top and stood at the end of the building. He came here to think a lot. Although he did enjoy Rouge's company ( Something he would never admit to. ) he did still go out alone often. Mostly because he had strange images flashing in his head. They seemed so real – like they really happened.

FLASHBACK

Shadow, Rouge and Omega were stood on a beach. The sun was shining and crystal waves hit the shore – although there was an uneasy feeling in the air.

"Shadow..." Omega began.

"The one who defeats and seals you in the future... is me..." Shadow was shocked - as was Rouge. He couldn't believe it. He was going to lose another friend....

END FLASHBACK

That particular vision came frequently. There seemed to be something else that happened after that. Something Rouge said... Something he desperately wanted to remember... He wasn't going to tell anyone about these strange images. He didn't want to scare anybody – Shadow already felt that he was feared by some people... Suddenly a huge explosion tore through the air - followed by screams of terror and sirens blaring. Shadow snapped back into reality.

"W – what was that?" he questioned himself before speeding off towards the source of the explosion. After Shadow left a grey figure landed gracefully on the rooftop. Haze watched the ebony hedgehog run to help out.

"Those shoes... That hedgehog seems familiar... Is that... Shadow?"
