Midnight Shadow have finally returned.

This chapter is similar to the one that was in PSX9's story, but as you will see, I wanted to make some changes here. Why? You will see it closer to the final.


(Begin Nightmare)

"Come on faker stay with me" he said, his voice full of worry.

"S-Sh-Shadow is that you?" His voice sounded weak.

"Just hold on" (pulls out walkie-talkie and starts yelling into it) "THIS IS SHADOW, GOING FOR G.U.N"

"Go for G.U.N"

"I need emergency assistance in downtown station square, I have Sonic The Hedgehog here who's been critically wounded!" Shadow's voice sounded completely desperate.

About a few moments later, the voice on the other side said, "Shadow please be advised, we are unable to provide any assistance at this time, you are on your own, I repeat, you are on your own"

"FUCK!"

"Shadow" Sonic began struggling to speak "I...I...I think this is it for me" he said, tears in his eyes.

"No it's not faker, you just need to hold on" Shadow responded, refusing to believe Sonic's words.

Shadow then picked up Sonic and started to run for the nearest hospital, but the nearest one was all the way on the other side of town, even if he went at top speed, it would still take some time to get there.

But Shadow wouldn't give up, he needed to save Sonic so he pushed his limits and ran as fast as he could and then some, it came to the point where he ended up breaking a blood vessel in his left eye and giving himself a nosebleed, but he was able to get to the hospital in time, upon entering he immediately called for assistance.

"Please somebody I need help here" he said.

But nobody heard him so he said it again...

"I NEED SOME FUCKING HELP HERE" he yelled at the top of his lungs.

That time a few doctors heard him and rushed over with a bed for Sonic

"What do we have?"

"fractured legs, severe internal bleeding, and severe head trauma"

"We need to get him to the ER NOW!"

They quickly pushed Sonic off for the ER with a nurse trying to stop the bleeding that was coming from Sonic's abdomen, Shadow attempted to follow but upon getting to the entrance for the ER, one of the nurses stopped him.

"I'm sorry but you must stay here."

"Like hell I am!"

"Sir, please you must stay here, we'll take care of your friend."

Shadow, seeing that he wasn't going to get anywhere with her, had no choice but to agree, the nurse, seeing that Shadow had gotten the message, quickly entered the ER to catch up with the others.

Now Shadow would have to just wait and hope for a miracle…

Roughly 15 minutes later the rest of Sonic's friends had arrived upon hearing the news, they all then started talking at once, all of their voices in a panic...

"HOW IS HE?"

"WHAT HAPPENED?"

"IS SONIC ALRIGHT?"

"IS HE OKAY?"

"IS HE GOING TO MAKE IT?" before anyone else could say or ask anything, Shadow harshly cut them all off.

"STOP!" Shadow yelled, he took a moment to calm himself, then he continued, "I don't know okay?, his legs are literally shattered, he has severe internal bleeding, and to top it all off, severe head trauma, right now, he's in emergency surgery " Shadow stopped for a moment to see how they were all taking it so far, and it wasn't good, but Shadow had to continue.

"Even if he manages to pull through, he's probably never going to walk again, let alone run, and he'll have brain damage for the rest of his life, but right now we just need to hope for the best and…. prepare for the worst" Shadow finished, taking in all of the shocked looks on their faces, both Tails and Amy were in tears, Knuckles just stood there, his face filled with emotion, Rouge was trying to hold back her own tears and failing miserably and Silver whose eyes were filled with shock as he seemed didn't remember about this thing from his own time. A few hours later one of the doctors reappeared, stopping for a moment to see how few of them were pacing around the waiting room, and most were sitting down trying to assure each other that their friend would be okay, she then continued heading towards them.

"Are you the friends of Sonic the Hedgehog?" She started.

Shadow and the others immediately stood up and put their full attention on the doctor.

"We performed an emergency surgery on your friend, but his wounds were just too severe, we did everything thing we could." She paused for a moment to collect herself, then she dropped the bomb.

"I'm sorry, but your friend didn't make it" She finished, her face filled with sympathy.

It took a moment for the doctor's words to sink in, and when it did, almost the entire environment broke down

"I...I...I can't believe it." Tails said, getting ready to cry, he could be called the closest friend Sonic had. Amy was bawling her eyes out, pleading with the doctor to say it wasn't so. Knuckles and Rouge were trying to comfort each other. Silver then stood up from his own place and walked over to Tails as he tried to comfort him at least with something, though his eyes were teary as well.

Shadow just stood there, his head hung low, he just lost someone that cared about him, that considered him a friend, while all of this was running through his head, a single tear ran from his eye, suddenly his face became filled with pure anger and determination and he started walking away…

"Hey, where are you going?" Rogue called out

"I'm going to find the doctor...and rip his fucking head off!" Shadow said his voice full of pain and anger.

Before anyone could begin to protest, Shadow furiously turned on all of them.

"THIS IS NOT UP FOR DISCUSSION OKAY?.. I'M NOT GOING TO LET EGGMAN CAUSE ANYMORE DAMAGE, HE JUST KILLED THE GREATEST HERO THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN" Shadow finished, and with that he walked out of the room, leaving the others to weep for the loss of their fallen friend…

(End of Nightmare)


"Wake up sleepyhead..." the voice whispered sweetly into Shadow's ear, his left ear twitched but other than that he didn't respond.

"Wake up my love" the voice rang through his head again.

Shadow stirs and cringed as he heard this soft and loving voice. He then opened his crimson eyes slightly and looked up to see Midnight's exposed figure and her pretty purple and sky blue eyes looking at him lovingly. The sight of her prompted him to open his mouth slightly.

"Huh?"

"How did you sleep?" Midnight asked him again. Shadow didn't respond to her, as he simply took a sitting position, and looked around to see where he was. Though the place where he found himself had nothing with ARK colony, and was more like the Moon surface. The stars circled around them and the planets and comets crossed the infinite open space that formed for a billion years. Shadow found himself confused as he never was in a place like this. When he returned his gaze back at Midnight, he saw her sitting in a cute pose and covering her body with a blanket.

"What is this place?" He asked as his voice sounded calmly and neutrally. Midnight simply moved closer to him and placed a hand on his left cheek as she started to rub it gently.

"Oh, so you mean you don't recognize?" She asked, "This is the palaces of your mind.", Shadow lifted up his eyebrow when she named the point, and looked around once again, "My mind?" He asked, "Like… my… dream? Am I sleeping now?", He then looked back to Midnight's smiling face to see how the girl threw off the blanket and stood up from the bed. She then walked over to the edge of the mountain where they were.

"Obviously." She said, "This place is keeps all your memories about your past. Some of them are closed to you, because of your erroneous path that you have chosen.", She then stopped at the edge of the mountain and leaned her hands on the stone, as she threw her gaze down, "Shadow." She spoke, "I called you back to Equestria to do one thing. The thing that I promised to do, but I didn't, because I am not strong enough." She then looked at him back over her left shoulder, "I want you to help my master to get back to her right path."

Hearing this, Shadow's eyebrows arched in a frown. He then stood up from the bed and crossed his arms in the chest area, "Your master?" He asked, "Who is your master?", Midnight didn't say anything, as she simply turned to him and performed one spectacular move with her left hand. She created an orb with a bright blue sky inside and with the image of the dark blue alicorn woman with turquoise eyes whose hair were as if floating in the wind. Shadow's eyes became wide when he saw this image as a feeling of deja vu visited his mind. He thought that he saw this woman before, but somewhere far away and long ago. He then threw his gaze at Midnight, but when he looked at her, he spotted that she formed a sad look on her face. Midnight then approached him slowly on her tiptoes.

"She used to be a powerful warrior who was the first person who appeared to fight with her invader sister and tried to push off her dictatorial rule." She spoke in a somehow sad tone, "But unfortunately, she lost the fight, and joined her enemies, when they washed out her mind and her ideas she was fighting for and made her one of them. She have lost her way just like you did, and I want you to bring her back." She walked over to him and placed her hands on his shoulders, "I want you to remind her about who she is and what she was fighting for.", after she finished, Shadow pondered her words and looked deeply into her eyes, as if trying to read her mind. However, he still had one question.

"Why did you chose me?" He asked. Midnight smirked, "I'll show you." She said as she wrapped her left arm around his shoulders and waved her hand slowly in front of them and the stars started to circle around them with a lightning speed. Shadow felt the strong gust of wind flew through his cloth and hair and started to look around in question of what is going on.


Done.

To be continued, dudes... hehehehehe
