Amy's POV

The three of us didn't even know to do or say as we soon watched the battle between the two broke out on the monitor. Even Rouge was horrified at what she was looking at. Shadow looked like a demon as he attacked sonic. They both vanished and reappeared from time to time hitting one another. Did Shadow really have to go this far just to protect me? My thoughts were interrupted when Cosmo spoke

"Where is Tails and knuckles?" she asked very worried

Rouge didn't even speak as she started typing away then another screen popped up with Tails and Knuckles were in the x-tornado flying towards Shadow and Sonic.

Both Cosmo and Rouge sigh with relief then Rouge hit a button and spoke

"Tails! Knuckles! Can you hear me?" she said

"Rouge?!" Tails said in shock

"Babe are you ok?" Knuckles asked worried

"Yes I'm fine, but don't head towards Shadow and Sonic's position!" she told them

"Sorry we can't do that," Tails replied "Shadow can't take him on alone! We just battled against sonic and we barely made it out alive even with shadow's help."

All of a sudden Cosmo gasped causing both Rouge and I to look at the other screen. There Shadow was standing over sonic as blood was dripping of his hand holding a ripped off leg then started attacking sonic with it. Shadow had thrown it away only to continue beating the hell out of sonic as dust rose up from the force of Shadow's punches.

"DAMN IT TAILS! IF YOU TWO GO OVER THERE SHADOW MAY KILL YOU BOTH! HE ISN'T EVEN HIS SELF!" Rouge yelled at them with tears in her eyes as she had to turn her head away from the display.

Shadow why are you going this far? Wasn't there just some other way to have dealt with this? Why couldn't there be anything I could do to stop this? My mind was lost in questions as I cloud only stare at this demon who Shadow had turned into trying to stop a monster. Shade was in my arms crying his little eyes out as I soon found myself crying to.

"Please Tails," Cosmo pleaded with him "Please don't go, I don't want to lose you after I had just accepted your marriage proposal!"

"Tails! You're getting…" Knuckles said in shock

"Look! Right now isn't the time for this!" Tails replied to Knuckles as he had cut him off then spoke to Cosmo "Cosmo, I have to save sonic as he is my brother and you won't lose me. I'm scared just as much as you, but I have to do what I can because everything counts."

Shadow had stopped punching sonic only to thrust his hand to his chest causing me to gasp, but soon noticed that something was causing him to stop as he still tried to pierce Sonic causing a blast of wind blowing all around them. Rogue immediately shouted at Tails and Knuckles

"IF YOU WANT TO SAVE SONIC THEN STEP ON IT CAUSE SHADOW IS ABOUT TO KILL HIM!"

"WE"RE ON IT!" Tails yelled back

It was too late as the wind around the two hedgehogs died down as Shadow stood up with a blue light shining within his hands. I also saw that his restraint had broken then looked quickly at his other one which were gone. He had a worried look on his face then jumped up to the sky holding the blue light into the sky. It was a stone, but Rouge quickly reacted as she yelled out with fear through the com

"TURN AROUND NOW!"

Shadow seemed to have shouted out two words followed by a red flash of light covering the whole screen then out the window on the planet was little a sphere of red light that rose up off of it. A moment later the station shook uncontrollably as the power was cut off along with the gravity then everything turned back on. Once the screens came back up Shadow was floating as streams of light and darkness moved all around him then shot up into the sky spreading everywhere. Tails and Knuckles had made it to them safely as they tended to Sonic, but Shadow was on the ground not moving.

Seeing that I couldn't help, but feel a lump in my throat that burned from fearing that he was dead. I wanted to be with him more than anything and I wish I could have more power to be able to have helped him out. I could feel my tears building up again, damn it shadow you said you would come back to me no matter the cost!

"What about you?" a voice asked me as I was taken back completely

"What?" I asked looking around and only saw Rouge and Cosmo

"Would you come back to him no matter the cost?" the voice asked

"Yes, but..?" I replied as I was soon cut off

"Then say the… words…" the voice said as it faded away

Words? What words? It didn't make any sense until I looked at the screen again to see Tails shaking Shadow then slowly shaking his head over to Knuckles.

"No he can't be, you can't be dead …" I said as all my emotions came rushing out all at once and yelled out without thinking "CHAOS CONTROL!"

Everything slowed down as I was pushed back then shot forward at insane speeds that within moments I was already half way down to the earth before the fear of smashing into the ground enter my mind. At this speed I would be kill instantly and closed my eyes as the ground was only a few feet away. I waited a few seconds as nothing seemed to have happened only feeling a slight breeze causing me to open my eyes to see where I was. Shadow was laying on the ground right before me as Tails and Knuckles were taking care of Sonic, but Tails took notice I was there then shouted out to me

"Amy?!" he said shocked to even find me here "where the hell did you pop out from?"

I couldn't answer him as I fell to my knees next to Shadow as he still laid there motionless while tears started following from my eyes. Tails walked up to me, but stayed silent after a few moments later he spoke

"I'm sorry Amy," he spoke sadly "We just didn't make it over to him fast enough to try and help him."

"Tails!" Knuckles yelled out before I could reply to Tails

"Knuckles what's wrong?" Tails asked worried

"Tails get back now! It's Sonic!" he shouted as he jumped back over to us

We watched as sonic rose up from the ground as a dark aura was surrounding him. His ripped off was healed completely looking good as new as he walked up to us. His eyes were a different color not the emerald green eyes, but a dark golden brown color and gave us a look of sadness. When he got close enough to us he immediately fell down to one knee with arm raised to his chest and bowing his head.

"Knuckles the echidna," Sonic spoke to him "I cannot thank you for saving my life as you had put me back into my host and have followed my king's orders. I am in your debt."

We were taken back as Sonic was acting like he was someone else completely while Knuckles didn't even know what to do in the situation before him. Sonic soon rose up and looked at us all, but stared at me the most.

"I am sorry for my actions that has troubled all of you. So fear not I will not harm you anymore as one of my king's last wishes." He spoke sadly then looked to me and added as he lower his head "My lady, I wish that you do not fear me as I only wanted to serve my king who is now dead, but this host of mine Sonic, has quite the feelings for you though he had failed to even attempt to try as his reasons had caused him fear of ever doing so."

"You have no right to tell his secrets like that!" Tails yelled out to him angry

"Forgive me sir, but that is what Sonic wanted to say as he notice her devastation over the new king shadow." He said

I didn't even know what to say, Shadow is now a king? Sonic had actually loved me but his reasons caused him to fear ever asking me out? What the hell is this person who has control over Sonic's body even talking about?

"What do you mean Shadow has become a king?" Tails demand only to get shot with a dark look from Sonic

"That you will have to ask him yourself." he replied darkly then looked at Knuckles softening his expression "To answer your question about who I am. My name is Invidia, the old king's right hand, and your friend sonic is my host."

He soon walked over to Shadow's body where I sat frozen in fear while Tails and Knuckles got in his way.

"What do you think you're doing?" Knuckles asked as the both of them were in a fight stance ready for anything

"I am simply repaying my deb as well as following my king's last wishes. So I will ask you both to please stand aside as I bring him back to life." He replied

Hearing him say that I finally found my voice and asked

"Can you really bring him back?" as tears were still pouring from my eyes

"Yes." He answered

"Tails, please let him through." I said

"Amy…" Tails tried to say

"Tails, Please?" I asked as I didn't have it in me to argue with him

Tails moved aside as did Knuckles letting Invidia pass only to stop right over shadow. He threw up his arms and started speaking a langue that was unknown. Even Tails or Knuckles couldn't recognize the langue. Moments later streams of light and darkness swirled above us in the sky. The very same things that shadow shot into the sky. When Invidia was done speaking he took a knee then shouted out loud

"AS KINGDOMS RISE AND FALL LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THIS NEW KINGDOM WILL OUT LAST THEM ALL! ALL HAIL THE NEW KING SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG AND…" he paused for a quick second shooting me a look with a smile on his face "THE NEW QUEEN AMY ROSE THE HEDGEHOG!"

I had a blank expression as I heard him say it while both Tails and Knuckles faces exploded with shock and anger at what Invidia had just done. The steams of light and darkness above us came spiraling down towards me and shadow then entered our bodies. When it was finish he quickly place his hand on my shoulder and the other on Shadow.

"Chaos control" he said and time seemed to have stopped as Tails and Knuckles were frozen in the middle running to us

"What...?" was all I could say as my head was spinning like crazy

"Now listen well my lady, the only way this will work is if he wants to come back." Invidia told me then let go of me as shadow's body suddenly jumped up as if he was being electrified

He did it two more times before I couldn't take any more of it, watching Shadow's lifeless body move like that

"THAT'S ENOUGH!" I shouted at him not realizing that I had broken his chaos control and sent him flying into Tails and Knuckles

Turning back to shadow and waited only to have the tears soon run down my face like a river

"SHADOW… SHADOW… SHADOW…" I yelled out his name then covered my face with my hands crying my heart out.

Something slightly touched my hand which took me by surprise as I moved my hands away to see Shadow reaching for me.

"Amy…?" shadow asked weakly as he touched my face I threw myself on him burying my face in his chest as I continued to cry
