Chapter 35: Wishes are Eternal…
With in a large room in the G.U.N. Fortress, there was a strange light and then the heroes, villains, G.U.N. troops, and Shadow, who was back to normal, appeared. "Shadow!" Sonic shouted as he approached Shadow, "Shadow, what happened?! Why did you bring us here?!"
Shadow just stood there in silence. "Shadow what's wrong?" Rouge asked as she approached Shadow.
Shadow just remained silent and then started to walk out, but he stopped just to kick a Chaos Emerald to a wall, then he was out the door. "What was that about?" Cloud asked.
"I don't know, but we have a bigger situation to deal with," the Commander stated.
After a while though the G.U.N. Fortress the Commander, Sonic and his friends with Eggman, Cloud, Tifa, Vincent, Sephiroth, Squall, Sora, Riku, Luther, Fayt, Mr. Incredible, Elasticgirl, Syndrome, Dante, Danny, Sam, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Ben, Kim, Ron, Draken, Shego, Goku, Vegeta, Sumas, and Link came the to the main computer room, while the others were guided to the room with the civilians of Central City.
In the room in a chair, a man in a blue suit turned to them, "Commander, what's going on?" he asked.
"Well Mr. President, God Doom seemed to have planned this for some time, and he said that he will reconnect the universes," the Commander replied.
"And right now we are trying to figure out how to stop him," Sonic said.
"So do any of you have a plan?" the President asked.
Everyone just got quiet very fast, until Sam spoke up, "Um, how about we all use the Chaos Emeralds, so that we can all stand up to God Doom."
Knuckles just shook his head, "It won't work."
"Why?" Dante asked.
"Because if it gives power to three or more people, it has to divide the power up, which will just weaken us," Tails explained.
"So lets choose the three most powerful and send them into battle," Ben said.
Soon Shadow walked though the door, "Sorry for the interruption everyone."
"Actually we we're about choose the three most powerful heroes to fight God Doom," Sora said.
"Well then I'm just here to tell you that your plan will suck," Shadow said.
This came to a surprise to everyone at what Shadow said. "Shadow what are you talking about?!" Riku said.
"Well let me explain it; God Doom copied our powers, combined them with the power of the Chaos Emeralds to become a god. So a long story short: We've lost," Shadow explained.
"Shadow I don't get it?" Sonic asked.
"Oh you don't get it. Well then let me speak in another language for you: Byliśmy zgubiony! Abbiamo perso! Wir haben abgängige Hitze! We've потерявший! We've perdido! Or how 'bout this: We've FUCKING LOST!" Shadow shouted as he stormed out of the room.
"Shadow, why are you like this?" Amy said softly as every stood silent to what Shadow said.
"Well guys, lets look for him and talk some sense into him," Sonic said as he and his friends went off to look for Shadow.
After a few minutes passed, Rouge was searching the halls of the G.U.N. Fortress, 'Dammit Shadow were are you?' But Rouge soon bumped into someone, "Sorry, I wasn't looking were I was looking," she quickly apologized.
"It's alright," the man named Xehanort said. as Rouge was about to leave Xehanort said soothing else, "Hey do you know anything about the Master Emerald?"
"Yeah, it an emerald that has the power over the Chaos Emeralds, like neutralizing it," Rouge responded.
"Well then it's good that I never showed this to Black Doom," he said pulling out the Master Emerald piece.
This came as a surprise to Rouge, "Yeah it is a good thing that you didn't, because if you did, Black Doom would of took the Chaos Emeralds,"
"Well then you should take it back to that echidna," Xehanort said handing the piece to Rouge.
"Thanks and I will take it back to Knuckles," Rouge said as she head back to the main computer room.
In another area of the G.U.N. Fortress Amy was wondering around the halls, "Oh, were did Shadow go?" she asked out loud. Soon she saw Shadow walking though the hallway. "Shadow? Hey wait up!" Amy shouted as she started to run towards Shadow, but Shadow just ignored her and went though a door and locking it.
In the room Shadow was hanging his head low. "Is someone there?" Shadow raised his head to see a blond hair woman holding a baby in her arms looking at Shadow, "Oh, it's you Shadow."
Shadow started to walk towards her, "And who are you?" he asked as he noticed her eyes were like the commander's.
"My name is Maria, and this is my son Marcus," she replied as her and Shadow came face to face.
"I see, and judging by your eyes, you must be the commander's daughter," Shadow said.
"Yeah my father named me after the person who was like family to him on ARK," she explained, "So Shadow, how are you going to defeat Black Doom this time?"
Shadow paused for a minute and then said, "There is nothing we could now, God Doom has won."
"That's to bad, and I was hoping that I can see Marcus grow up to be like his father or grandfather," Maria said as tears started to form in her eyes, "My husband died in a battle against Black Doom's first army, and I was hoping that an angel will come to save us, and then you came and stopped Black Doom."
"I'm sorry, but I'm no angel. Just a son of Black Doom," Shadow said.
Soon the door opened and Amy rushed in the room, "Shadow we need you, please help us," she said.
"I'm sorry Amy but there's nothing we can do now," Shadow stated.
"There has to be. Shadow people called you the black angel who defeated Devil Doom, you brought hope when there was no hope left in the world. You are the protector of this world Shadow, you make everyone happy," Amy explained, but Shadow didn't respond. "Shadow don't you remember the promise you made?"
Shadow just stood there in silence, 'Yes I remember the promise I made to you and Maria.' Soon memories flooded in to Shadow's mind.
Shadow and Maria were in a room on the ARK looking out the window. "Shadow, what do you think it's like on Earth?" Maria asked.
"The professor said his life's work was dedicated to all of those who live down there. He once told that the reason for his existence was, making people happy through the power of science." Shadow explained.
"Shadow..."
"Maria... I just don't know anything anymore... I often wonder why I was created; what my purpose if for being here. Maybe if I go down there, I... I will find the answers... maybe... ...Maria..."
Then Shadow was in the capsule about to be lunched by Maria, "Shadow... I beg of you... please, do it for me... for a better future…"
"Maria!"
"…for all the people who live on that planet... give them a chance to be happy. Let them live for their dreams. Shadow, I know you can do it. That's the reason that you were brought into this world." Shadow was then lunched to Earth, "Sayonara, Shadow, the Hedgehog."
Then Amy was talking to Shadow on the ARK, "I know that people fight over the most trivial things. Some people may be selfish, like the professor said... but they're basically good, if they try their best and never give up on their wishes. They always have a reason to be happy; that's why you should help them out! Saving them is a good thing! Shadow, I beg you, please do it for them! Give them a chance!"
The next memory was when he was confronting Black Doom and Gerald was talking, "Shadow... it's up to you and only you can stop them! I developed the Eclipse Cannon... It's the only weapon that can destroy that Black Comet. Shadow, you are the only hope to save mankind as we know it... The future of this planet depends on... you!"
Black Doom was giving out a chuckle, "Gerald, you fool! Shadow is already in my control...What's this?!" he shouted as Shadow got back up. "Well, well, well... seems like you're immune to my mind control."
"You have no control over me, Black Doom. I now understand why I am here. I made a promise and I'm here to keep it. Today, I put my past behind me," Shadow said as he approached Black Doom.
'Shadow, please remember the promise you made to Maria,' Amy's voice echoed.
The next thing Shadow knew, he was in a room in the space colony ARK, and then there was bright glow and Maria was standing in front of Shadow, "Hello Shadow," she said.
"Maria is that you?" Shadow asked.
"No Shadow, the real me faded away a long time," Maria responded.
"Oh," Shadow said hanging his head low.
"Shadow there is nothing to be sad about, as long you have memories of me and everyone on the ARK, then we exist in your heart," Maria explained, "Hey Shadow, do you remember the room I love the most on the ARK.
"You mean the Relaxation Room?" Shadow said as another bright glow brought them to a room that really made them feel like they're on Earth.
"Yeah I've loved this room a lot, we always hanged in here and relax as well," Maria said, "But I'll hate to all of this to fade away on Earth. Shadow I beg of you, please help the people of Earth," Maria said with a tear rundown her cheek.
"I-I don't know what to do Maria," Shadow said as tears also started to rundown his face.
"Shadow, I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this," Maria said as she started to fade away, "But I'm so happy that you lived."
Shadow then noticed that Maria was gone, "Maria?"
"Maria?!"
"MARIA!"
"Shadow what's wrong?" Amy said as he snapped to reality with Marcus' crying.
"I've talked to her," Shadow said.
"Who?" Amy asked.
"I've talked to Maria, and I still going to keep that promise, I'll fight any thing just to make sure everyone could live out their dream even if I have to fight gods," Shadow said.
"That's the Shadow we know! Come on lets get back to the others," Amy said as she Shadow and Maria went back to the main computer room.
Back in the main computer room Sonic and his friends were back, "So any luck?" Sephiroth asked.
Before any of them could answer the door opened and Shadow, Amy, and Maria walked in. "Shadow?" Sonic said suspired
"Hey guys," Shadow said, "Did anyone figure out how to defeat God Doom yet?"
But before anyone could say something they heard some kind of jingle, then Kim pulled out her communicator, "Kim are you there?" Wade said over the communicator.
"Yes Wade I can hear you. What's the sitch?" Kim asked
"Well Kim, there's a major threat coming," Wade said.
"You mean God Doom?" Kim asked.
"No, something else." With what Wade said brought confusion to everyone.
"If it's not God Doom then who is it?" Kim asked.
"I don't know, just plug the communicator into the computer and I'll show you a picture I took in the vortex," Wade said as Kim plugged the communicator into the computer and then a picture of a grey blur, with blue blurs in it, and it had something glowing in its hand.
"What is that thing?" Sqaull asked.
"I don't know," Wade responded "but I scanned God Doom's power an my computer almost crashed within a minute, and when I scanned the blur, the program shut itself down within a second."
"Then I know who that is in the vortex," Danny said.
"Really, who?" Sam asked.
"It has to be Melbu Frahma."
"You mean the emperor that God Doom talked about?" Shadow asked.
"Yes. Clockwork said the Melbu Frahma was very powerful 11,000 years ago. But how did he survive that long?"
"So now our main concern must be to stop the vortex before it's complete, so that Melbu Frahma doesn't get out," Shadow said.
"It seems so, and God Doom will still believe that he is more powerful," Cloud stated.
"So what lets just kick his ass and destroy him and the vortex," Sonic said.
"But Sonic we still need something to stand up to God Doom," Tails stated.
"I've got it, we can use the Super Emeralds," Knuckles said.
"Yeah, that's perfect!" Sonic said.
"But there's still a problem, God Doom could just copy that power, so we should use the Eclipse Cannon," Eggman said.
"But the slots for the emeralds are too small for the Super Emeralds," Knuckles stated.
"I know, that's why I need help to rebuild the slots to fit the Super Emeralds," Eggman explained.
"And Now we need three people to go and stop God Doom. I'll be one of them," Shadow said.
"Alright then, I'll come to," Sephiroth said only to be elbowed in the stomach by Cloud.
"I don't trust you with kind of power so I'll go," Cloud said.
"And I'll come as well since God Doom has ghost powers," Danny said.
"Danny are you sure?" Sam asked.
"Yes Sam I'm sure," Danny replied.
Sam paused for a second, "Danny if something happens, I want you to know something."
"What is…"Danny was interrupted when Sam kissed him on the lips.
"I love you Danny," Sam said as she back off.
"Okay are we ready?" Eggman said with Batman, Luther, Syndrome, and Draken behind him.
"I have to tag along to the alter of the Master Emerald, so that we can get the Super Emeralds," Knuckles said.
"Well if you going to use the Master Emerald, you might need this piece the Xehanort took," Rouge said tossing the piece to Knuckles.
"Alright lets go," Shadow said as he used the Chaos Emeralds to warp to the Master Emerald Alter.
At the mater Emerald Alter Knuckles, Shadow, Cloud and Danny ran up to the Master Emerald, and Knuckles held out the piece and it became one with the Master Emerald again. Then Knuckles put his hand on it and said the chant, "The servers are, the seven Chaos. Chaos is power; power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos. Now Master Emerald you your power to create the Super Emeralds!"
Soon the Chaos Emeralds levitated above the Master Emerald, then the Master Emerald shot out a green beam into the sky and then seven different color beams hit the Chaos Emeralds. And with a bright flash the Chaos Emeralds were half the size of the Master Emerald. "You guys ready?" Shadow asked as Cloud and Danny nodded their head. Then the three of them raised their arms into the air where the Super Emeralds started to spin around them and getting faster creating a bright glow.
Within the glow Cloud was getting silver demonic-looking armor that covered his body up to his neck with a large crystal sword and he sprouted a pair of silver demon wings, his hair also turned gold and his eyes turned blood red. "Demon Cloud!"
Danny was getting a golden angel like armor with his symbol on his chest in platinum that covered his body up to his neck with a pair of angel wings, and his hair turned silver with blue eyes. "Holy Danny!"
Then Shadow's black fur turned to platinum and his eyes turn to gold. "Omega Shadow!"
After the glow the three were hovering in the air, "Looking good guys Knuckles complimented.
"Thanks," they said as they all warped out of there.
Then they were in the control room of the Eclipse Cannon on ARK, "Okay then we'll work on the cannon while you three keep God Doom busy," Eggman said.
"And I'll stay here just in case God Doom gets smart on us. Good luck," Knuckles said.
"Don't worry we'll keep him busy," Shadow said, "CHAOS CONTROL!" and then he, Cloud and Danny were gone to fight God Doom.
