Hello all readers! You've waited…umm…about three days for this chapter! You'll see what it is. JUST READ IT ALREADY!! I'm getting antsy just writing it!
Disclaimer: I don't own Sonic the hedgehog, any other related characters, and especially not…SEGA!! The only thing I own so far is this fic.
---------------------------
Genesis's POV
I walked briskly down the hall, Bokkun trailing behind. Uncle Ivo didn't send messages too often anymore, and he basically had nothing to do every day. I had befriended the little guy. He was cute, and I enjoyed having someone to talk to when I was taking a break or something.
I opened the door that led to the room Shadow was being held in. He seemed to be getting weaker, but he still wouldn't give us any answers. I was afraid that he'd die before we found out the location of the Chaos Emeralds.
I walked in, but I immediately stopped. Something was wrong. Shadow wasn't chained to the platform anymore. The chains had been ripped from it, and wires were sticking out where they had been. I saw the chains and the key to unlocking the cuffs that held his hands in place a few feet away from the door. The cuffs had been unlocked, of course.
I couldn't believe it. He had escaped! He seemed to have been getting weaker, but he had somehow pulled the chains out, anyway. He must have been working on that for a while.
Bokkun did not take this well. "I've got to go get Doctor Eggman!" He left in a panicked frenzy, and I stood there, dumbfounded.
Suddenly, something pounded the back of my head, and everything went black.

Shadow's POV
Well, now that I've gotten off of that platform that the idiot chained me to, I guess it's time to escape this mechanical dungeon. I knocked out the assistant girl, which was fun to do. I should probably go before the doctor finds out.
I shattered a window on the floor I was on, and jumped out. I then pushed off of the building and landed in a nearby tree. However, I ran into something on the landing.
"Hey! Watch where you're going!" Wait…I know that voice. I looked at the source of the voice, and there she was. Rouge the Bat sat on a branch, glaring at me. I really wasn't surprised to see her here. That assistant girl had often complained about seeing something flying around.
"Wow. You're pretty beat up. I knew you were in there, but I didn't know you were being tortured. Why didn't you beat the crud out of them, like the dark hedgehog I know?"
"It's a long story," I said. Why was I even talking to her? I should be long gone by now.
"Well, we'd better get going. Don't want old fat and hairy to catch ya now would we?" Rouge jumped down from the tree and stood in front of me.
Did she actually want to go with me? She's crazy. But I traveled with her a few times before. She'd go with me whether I wanted her to or not.
There was nothing I could do now but start the journey. "All right, come on," I said, and ran off, with Rouge following close behind.
---------------------------
I'm sorry this chapter is so short!! But, you get the idea. I could not capture Shadow's character at all, so…yeah. Anyway, I'll be writing the whole Summer. Unless my mom limits my computer time. Then I might not be as productive. See ya next chapter!
