Wooo :D Chapter 4 is up! Lol... Im not sure how many chapters there will be but in response to a review posted by 'SloganLogan', there will be action, violence and parts were Shadow hurts people in later chapters so don't fret... Im trying to put as much as I can into this story as possible so just keep reading... Please :D Btw, just to let you know, I dont think this chapter is very good but I thought I better put something in the middle so its not just memory after memory :)

Chapter 4 - Explanations

Chris was sitting outside as the stars shone brightly above him. He was breathing heavily and couldn't come to terms with what had just happened. Was it real? Was Shadow waking up with Sonic still in his head? Or was he just seeing things? The human had so many thoughts running through his head but one stood out more than them all... Why did he care so much? I mean it wasn't a big deal really. Was it any reason to run off like he did?

He suddenly snapped back to reality as Chuck appeared at his side. Chris' running didn't go unoticed like he had hoped. "What was that all about?" asked his uncle,

"What?"

"You... Running off like that?"

"Oh... It was... Nothing" he stuttered

"Hmmm... I don't think it was nothing"

Before Chris could hold his tounge, "Why do you care?" These word were cold and saw that they stung Chuck a little. He didn't mean to say that, none-the-less, Chuck merely sighed.

"Because, Chris, You my nephew and care a great deal about you, and I know something is bothering you a lot"

"I'm sorry" the boy let out a huge sigh and his eyes fixed back on the sky, "Its just... I thought I saw Shadows hand move," he took a deep breath and continued, "His fist clenched and it looked to me like he was about to mentally punched someone. I mean what if he has seen Sonic. He could kill him!"

This sounded all to crazy for Chuck's liking but it was plausable. "I see, but is that any reason to run off like that? Why did you run?"

To be honest, Chris didnt even know why he did it. Its the first time he thought about it, "I have no idea; it all sounds so stupid now,"

"Not stupid. Just unexplainable." Chuck looked lovingly at his nephew as they were the only real family they had. "Now lets go back inside,Im sure Tails' and Amy are bored. Lets go have some fun" He smiled

'Fun? How can you possibly have fun? This is stupidity' thought Chris as they both walked back inside where it was warm-ish. Well warmer than outside.

Inside, Tails and Amy had pulled up some chairs because the cold floor was most uncomfortable. Every now-and-then they would look at eachother as if to be having mental convosations. That is until Chuck and Chris made their way back into the lab. "Where did you two go?" quizzed Amy

"Chris just... needed some fresh air" his uncle lied. It wasn'y that important, he needed an excuse was it?

"Its understandable" replied Tails

"So anything happen yet?"

"No, nothing. Both of them are stable"

"Looks like its working perfectly then"

"Yep, listen..." Tails got up from his chair and walked over to the duo while Amy was gazing lovingly and concerningly at Sonic. "D'you want anything to eat or drink. We'll probably be here a while?"

"Sure, I'm famished!" Said Chuck

"Chris?"

"Okay but just something small. Im not that hungry"

"Alright...Toast sound good?"

"Yeah"

"Cool... Amy, you want anything getting?" Tails turned to the pink hedgehog who jumped at the sudden address made to her,

"Oh er... just a glass of water please"

"Awesome... I'll be back in a minute!" The kitsune smiled and walked out of the lab and into the kitchen, which had to be one of the most organised rooms in the whole place. Tails has put labels on all the draws and cupboards and it was spotless. Not a utensil out of place. The orange fox wasnt the best cook in the world but this wasnt a 5 star restaurant either.

He reappeared in the lab about 15 minutes later with a white tray full of toast, fruit and numerous glasses of water, "Here you go guys, tuck in"

Everyone immediately grabbed something and sat back down in their chairs. They all remained quiet until the voice of a certain boy broke the silence. "Tails?"

"hmm?" he looked up at Chris,

"How do we get Sonic back? You know, out of Shadows head?"

"Well its gonna be harder than sending him in" Tails smiled but Chris simply tilted his head. Unsure what to make of the last statement, "We're gonna have to wake him up at the right speed. If he wakes up to fast, the shock will kill both of them, but too slowly and Shadow will feel it and for god sake, we dont want him to be the first one to regain conciousness!" But before Chris could reply, a load bang echoed through the workshop. "What the hell?!"

Amy was gripping to Chris arm and Chris was gripping to Chuck who just stood there unsure to what had happened. Tails was slowly reaching out for the door handle when whe was throw back by the sheer force of the doors opening on him. 2 figures were standing in the frame of the door. Amy eyes widened. "Why the fuck did you two have to scare us half to death!?" The rest of them stared at Amy who obviously knew who the two figures were and before they could ask questions, the lights turned on and they saw the familiar faces of Rouge and Knuckles looking confused.

"What? the door was locked" said Knuckles shrugging his shoulders,

"Is that ay reason to blow 'em off their hinges though?!"

"I guess not"

"Look, he'll fix 'em. We just came here after we heard you'd manage to catch Shadow" interupted the white bat

Tails was now back on his feet and dusted himself off "Sorry bout that Tails" apologised the red Echidna

"Ah its ok"

"So what are you two doing here" Asked Chuck

"We had nothing else to do and after we found out you had Shadow captured, we thought we'd lend a hand incase he woke up at a bad time"

"I mean stealin jewels is fun but its getting old. Its just the same thing day in, day out y'know?"

"I see, well pull up a chair, have some food"

"Oh don't mind if I do" said Knuckles running to the pile of toast

"You greedy pig" announced Rouge

The whole lot of them laughed as they sat down and began to talk. Unbeknown to them what was going on inside the mind of Sonics dark counterpart.
