I don't own Sonic the hedgehog or any other characters/objects in this story all I own is the story itself all rights go to thier respective owners

The siblings plus Shadow whipped their bodies around to face the green scaly cloak covered body of the oracle. Sonic opened his my to address the oracle only to see out of the corner of his eye Shadow pulling out his gun. The oracle smiled and waved his hand saying "now now Shadow no need to get hasty" the gun flew out of Shadows hand and for the first since they met Sonic saw Shadow look terrified.

"Who the heck are you? Where are we?" yelled Shadow his not showing the fear so clearly plastered on his face. The oracle stepped forward "do you not remember me?" He asked Shadow. Not waiting for a response he continued "I'm not surprised your mother and I assumed that your memories would be altered" "emmother/em" Shadow cried "now I know your crazy I don't have a mother I was made in a lab to be the ultimate life form" the oracle frowned and shook his head placing his hands on Shadow strongignoring/strong his flinch. The oracles hands started glowing and Sonia, Manic and Sonic watched as Shadows eyes grew distant and wide as if watching a plot twist in a movie.

Around five minutes later the oracle released Shadow and stepped back leaving him stuttering with tears streaming down his face "y-you m-mean I'm..." he grabbed his medallion " a-and th-this is..." The oracle nodded and Sonic was wide eyed with shock Shadow the quintessential tough guy was blubbering like a baby what had the oracle shown him. "What's going on? Who is he!" Sonia asked slightly nervous "you'll find out in do time" the oracle said calmly "in the mean time it's time you were reunited with your mother" "what!" All four hedgehogs said at once. The oracle smiled "she's been waiting for the four of you to be together and since you are she is waiting for you at the temple of hakim you will know where to find it" and with a wave of his hand the four hedgehogs found themselves back in the living room of Sonic and Tails.

Before he could fully realize where he was Sonic found himself being tackled by a certain pink hedgehog "Soniku" she cried "where were you! You your siblings and Shadow disappeared" Sonic pushed her off of him and turned to face the others gesturing to Sonia and Manic he said "no time to explain but the three of us have to go. Like now" "dude I agree" said Manic as Sonia nodded. The others started to object but Sonic shook his head "it has to be just me and my sibs we need to find someone close to us" "then I'm coming too" Shadow exclaimed this time it was Sonic who started to object but Shadow interrupted "I'll explain later okay" causing Sonic to realize that the oracle must have revealed something really deep in Shadows past so, he left it alone.

Later after getting some supplies together and doing some research to find out exactly where they were going the four hedgehogs were off with backpacks on their backs and a long journey ahead of them. They were headed north through the woods and all the way to the edge of the desert to the temple the oracle spoke of. They walked in silence until they were about a mile in the woods which is where Sonic finally spoke up "okay Shadow what gives what did the oracle tell you" Sonia and Manic sighed in relief they were glad that they didn't have to ask him that. Shadow sighed "he unlocked my memories" he paused looking at them to gauge their reactions "it turns out I wasn't created in a lab" he was interrupted by Sonia "that's great Shadow" she said she hadn't known him for very long but she liked him a lot it was clear he'd been through a lot and his coldness was his way of coping. Sonic gave her the brief version of his backstory and sh thought about it as he continued "turns out i had a mother, a father an siblings" he smiled "I remember everything now and it explains a lot" "well dude" Manic interjected "you gonna tell us about them?" Shadow sighed "My full name is Shadow Ebony Hedgehog and I'm your brother".

Sonic's eyes grew wide "what!" he yelled "your insane it doesn't make any sense you were born or made or whatever you were over fifty years ago" Shadow groaned I don't get it either but it's true apparently when our mother had to separate us by some freak accident I ended up in the past". The group stopped and Shadow sat down n a fallen log covered in green squishy moss placing his head in his hands "so, I was in the past where I grew up on the streets until I was around the age that you guys were when you found each other my medallion started glowing that day too but that's besides the point I was captured by scientists and they tested on me until they finally combined my DNA with black doom enhancing my already existing chaos powers. At which point they erased my memory and what I remember after then took place". Sonia stepped forward and put a hand on his shoulder "it doesn't matter what happened" she said her voice and eyes soft "your our brother and where going to take care of you". Sonic couldn't believe it Shadow his brother it sounded crazy... and yet it made sense.
