[Episode 1 : The Promise]
A lone figure walked though the wreckage of the city of Westopolis, already figured out his reason for his creation. Even though he risked his life, he isn't praised for his risk.
Wherever he goes, angry eyes look at him for different purposes, one of them being why didn't he help push back the Black Aliens from the start of the invasion?
He wouldn't have a good enough reason for them, because all he did was get the Chaos Emeralds and then left for the others. He knew they hated him, he felt selfish because all he cared about was uncovering his past.
The city was still heavily damaged by the first attack. The sky was slightly red, it used to strike fear on those who started up at it. The city building were barely standing, scraps of metal were everywhere along side glass. The people didn't look any better. There were many injured people who limped, who have lost a arm, a leg, and were stained by their own blood, this made the sight of the city
and people difficult to look at for the black hedgehog. The figure, Shadow The Hedgehog, walked into the greatly damaged park. Everywhere he looked he saw G.U.N soldiers caring for the injured, he smiled and thought about what Black Doom told him about the humans...
"Humans, willing to sacrifice their own when overcome by greed. They are a foolish". Black Doom once said.
"Heh" Shadow could only laugh at such a statement because not all humans are selfish, there's people who are kind hearted. Shadow closed his eyes "Maria" his though remained on Maria until the slight sound of a cry snapped him out of it.
"Huh?"
Shadow turned to a bench and saw a little boy about the age of seven. Shadow noticed he wore a Black Baseball Cap, Black / White Bandana, Black T-Shirt with the image of 'Twisted Metal (2012)' Logo on front and a image of ' Sweet Tooth' on the back, Black Hoodie and Leather Vest,
a pair of fingerless leather gloves on his hands, Black Baggy Jeans with Silver Skull and Crossbones Wallet-Chain and Black / White Airforce Ones Sneakers, and he had short black hair and light brown skin.
The boy stopped crying, looked up at Shadow with his brown eyes, smiled, and then said, "H-hello".
"Hello", Shadow responded "May I ask why you're crying?"
"I don't know where my mom and dad are" the boy cried.
Shadow thought for a moment.
"I should help this kid, but this is just going to be a waste. His parents are most likely dead!"
Shadow turned to leave, he knew some people where watching him and the kid.
"I bet they hate me even more". Though Shadow. "Damn it..."
Shadow continued to walk through the damaged streets of Westopolis, fully aware that the boy was following him, he thought it was rather funny and cute (sometimes). The boy followed Shadow through the streets till they reached of remained of City Hall, Shadow finally let out some frustration.
"What the HELL is your problem, kid?" Shadow asked turning around suddenly.
"Joel..." the boy said, he took a few steps back, frightened by the black hedgehog's question.
"What?".
"My name is Joel Kealen Fennell, and your name is Sonic, right? the Hedgehog".
"No my name is Shadow, there's a difference, kid". Shadow said coldly like he didn't care about what the boy of him now.
"Oh so are you his brother?", Joel asked smiling.
"No" the hedgehog replied.
"Oh, my bad" the human boy said frowning.
Shadow and Joel looked at each other. Shadow smiled, this kid seemed to have touched that "good" side of Shadow smiled, he felt there was something interesting about this kid. He and Joel stood there looking at each for about a minute until Shadow finally broke the silence.
"Remember to stay nearly at all times understand, Joel?" Shadow ordered letting go of Joel's hand.
"Why?", Joel asked in confusion. Shadow kneeled down to his level.
"Because I promise to take care of you until we your parents, and it's best you remain at my side".
"Okay." Joel said as he suddenly hugged Shadow.
Shadow raised a eyebrow stood up. "Ready to go?".
"Yeah let's roll!"
Shadow picked up Joel place the child on on his back and sped off into the ruins of Westopolis, both unaware that they just because targets for a group of Devils hiding in a building. With their evil yellow eyes, they seemed very determined. Thermained in silence until the leader spoke up with his cold voice of terror.
"Proceed", said the leader "I want that boy alive, understand?".
"What about Shadow?" the eldest asked.
"Kill him".
"Very well"
All of them sped off after Shadow and Joel, they knew their mission and what they needed to do for they could return to power. The leader knew, he wanted that hedgehog dead for what he did to him and his people.
