Yeah, sorry this took too long. I'll explain more at the end of this chapter...now enjoy!


"We have other things to worry about like taking this son of a bitch down and rescueing Ames." The pink hedgehog's eyelids fluttered as she heard her name.

"We finally get to the fun part." She heard another voice say. A small grunt came from her as her weak body came into a sitting position and emerald eyes regained focus. Her shining orbs recognized her surroundings as the realization she was back in the pod hit her. Panic struck the female hedgehog as her memory of being taken from the children flooded her mind.

"Amy! Don't worry we'll get you out!" Amy looked to the owner of the voice who none other than Sonic the hedgehog. She shifted her gaze to the black hedgehog beside him, who gave her a look a of reasurance.

A barely audible laugh caught her attention as she turned her head to see the hedgehog who returned her to the female hedgehog's inprisonment.

"I really doubt that will happen..." Hatu said darkly.

"Whatever, just get over here and fight." A very irritated Shadow said. Amy watched Hatu for his reaction. He simply waved a finger to the hedgehog's saying no.

"Not until I ask you, Shadow, for another deal..."

"What deal...?" His red eyes burning with confusion and curiosity.

"You see this pathetic girl in the pod? You can save her if..."he trailed off.

"If?" Shadow asked, trembling with anger.

"If you give me the remaining emeralds...and trade your place with her..." Everyone gasped at Hatu's offer. How could they decide such a desicion? Not very easily...

"Shadow, what does this guy want with the emeralds?" The cobalt male hedgehog whispered. Shadow looked at him than back at the smirking blue-gray hedgehog.

"What else does everyone who's tainted with evil want? Nothing but unlimited power...and control over the world I presume." Sonic laughed quietly, finding it amusing that's all Hatu ever wanted.

"Just like all of the other creeps we took down." The blue hedgehog said loud enough for Hatu to hear.

"Not only that..." That caught the hedgehog's attention. Sonic and Shadow looked up at Hatu, whose smirk had faded to a frown.

"But revenge," he continued, "revenge for what you may ask. Something that Dr. Eggman wanted me to continue for him. Something that you 'heroes' stopped him from doing over and over. Taking over this pathetic planet.

"What the hell does Eggman have to do with you being here?!" The Blue Blur yelled. Hatu paused, creating a strange silence in the room.

"Because...without him, I wouldn't be standing here would I?" That sentence only created more confusion than there already was.

"I'm nothing more than a simple clone of the famous heroes of this planet. Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Ultimate Lieform."

"What!?" Shadow's voice called out.

"That's right Shadow...That's one reason to why you were feeling so...weak. I was draining your power, as I was to Sonic but his chaos powers are nothing compared to yours..."

"You tricked me! You told me if I gained all seven of the emeralds my powers would be restored but you were taking them all along!"

"That's right...You finally realize why..."

"And it was only to the near end did I realize you were using me...by then you could easily over power me..."

"That's why you left Amy! So he wouldn't know you had a family!" Sonic exclaimed, the whole picture coming into place.

"It was too late though, I already knew...but my patience is wearing thin, let's choose shall we? The girl lives and I get the Chaos Emeralds and you trade places with her. Which will it be?

"Don't give him the emeralds!! Forget about me, think about what's at stake besides me!" Amy screamed at the top of her lungs. Shadow looked into her sorrowfull eyes. He knew what he risked if he saved her but what about their daughter? Just like when he was thinking about Maria's life without him, but now it was Amy.

He looked to Sonic, wanting to see what the cobalt hero thought. He was just as unsure as Shadow.

"Shadow, please...!" The female hedgehog's soft but scared voice rang through his ears. "I'm begging you...please do it for me..."

He remembered those exact words she said to him on the ARK. He closed his eyes in thought, contemplating on what the right thing to do.

"Shadow, what should we do?" Sonic asked, hoping and praying he had thought of something. Red eyes shot open and a fierce look of determination was painted onto the Ultimate Lifeform's face.

"Just follow my lead..."


I know it's short but...I really wasn't in the mood for writing this but I didn't want to keep you guys waiting any longer. Like I said, sorry this took too long. Daughter of the Ultimate Lieform doesn't seem to be going the way I planned. I screwed up the whole storyline and (to me atleast) the story has turned for the worst. :( BUT! I am going to make a revised version of the story after this one is done. yay! XD And sorry if this story seems short and...uh...storyline doesn't seem to go in a straight line and is going in zig zags. (I hope you guys understand me here cuz I'm not making any sense to myself here) So yeah...Constructive critisism is accepted!
