Cobra: No comment!
Chao Adventure: Wrath Of Shadine
Chapter 8-Sonic The Prisoner
Sonic was chained to the armchair. He was being chained by the shadows of the dead hero chao. He watched his captors. Scorpio was watching TV. Nicole was reading a book. Cobra was fixing up her gear. And Shadow was standing next to Sonic.
Shadow: I will never forgive you Sonic.
Sonic: I didn't mean it……
Shadow's ruby eyes stared deeply into Sonic's emerald ones.
Shadow: So you're saying that you didn't mean to murder me? Just because my chao hurt yours? Because you thought I would hurt your friends? No. I know the real reason…
Sonic: What?
Shadow: Being dead had its good sides. I saw something's that even you didn't know! Watch!
Shadow waved his black hand and the two hedgehogs faded from the room. They reappeared in one of the rooms on Space Colony ARK.
Sonic: Where are we?
Shadow: We are in the creation room on the Space Colony ARK. Now watch what happens next!
Sonic turned his head to see a female hedgehog lying awake in a bed. She had black fur and green eyes. In her arms she held a small blue hedgehog. This hedgehog was a boy. Then a male hedgehog entered the room. He was blue with red streaks and his eyes were also red. In his arms he carried a small black hedgehog with red streaks. This baby was also a boy.
Red Eyed Male: Angel? How is he?
The black female known as Angel replied…
Angel: He's fine. I thought my little Sonic was ill but he's fine. So how's his brother, Devil?
The blue hedgehog known as Devil replied…
Devil: Gerald said that Shadow will make the perfect test subject. The new powers they have should help them live a little longer.
Sonic was very afraid now. According to what this vision, Shadow was his brother! That explained why he couldn't remember his parents. But that would make him fifty years old! Then Shadow waved his hand in the air again. This time they were in the escape pod room. Sonic could see the Past Sonic from that timeline trying to protect Past Shadow and Maria. Then the Past Shadow pushed Past Sonic into an escape pod.
Past Sonic: SHADOW! MARIA! DON'T!
Past Shadow: I'm sorry Sonic! I promised mother and father that you would live!
Past Shadow then pushed a button. The escape was sent flying down to Earth. Then the doors opened revealing a GUN soldier. You could just make out some of his brown hair and a scar along his cheek.
GUN Soldier: Freeze or I'll shoot!
Maria then turned and pushed Past Shadow into another escape pod as the GUN soldier fired the gun. The bullets hit Maria in the chest.
Past Shadow: MARIA!
Maria: Shadow…I beg of you…please do it for me and the people of that planet. Sayonara Shadow the Hedgehog!
Maria pushed the button with the last of her energy. As the escape pod flew down to Earth, Maria lay there dead. Shadow waved his hand and they where surrounded by black.
Shadow: Now you know why I want revenge! After saving your life, you destroy my own! For what? A chance for you to get all the glory! To call you brother would bring poison from my mouth!
Sonic: ...I…I…
Shadow: Don't say anything! Your words mean nothing!
Shadow waved both of his hands in the air. Now they were back in Cobra and Nicole's mansion. Shadow whispered something in Sonic's ear.
Shadow: Your time is almost up!
Then a small white light entered the room. Cobra, Nicole and Scorpio stood up. The light turned into what seemed to be the ghost of a hero chao. A cheetah hero chao.
Sonic: That's Tails's chao Sparky!
The ghost's shadow wrapped itself around Sonic's throat. It was hard to breath but the shadow did let him have a small amount of air. The ghost was sucked into Shadow's eyes. Then slowly, Shadow's body appeared into view. The only thing that was still a shadow was his head.
Shadow:Not long now!
