Chapter 19 :Memories Pt.1

" Dear Pinkie Pie,

All throughout my life, I've changed so much. I've been to so many places. Stopped so many enemies. Felt so many emotions. I know I have told you so many of these stories. But,I decided to write them down for you, so you won't forget. So you will remember; I will come back."

Flahback #1. Maria and shadow meet

Space Colony Ark...

"ugh... Where am I?" Shadow stepped out of a capsule. He was in some sort of laboratory. "It seemed like my ultimate lifeform project was a profound success." Shadow turned his head, and saw a man in a lab coat. "Don't worry. I brought you into the world. My name is professor Gerald Robotnik, and you are Shadow the Hedgehog." Shadow simply nodded, not knowing what was going to happen at this point. "You are on the world's most advanced space Colony, the ARK." "Space?..." Gerald motioned his hand to the window. Outside was complete blackness. shadow looked out into the darkness. He now knew who he was and where he was, but still didn't know why he was here. Shadow suddenly looked back as he felt Gerald's hand rest on his shoulder. "You are a hedgehog. And, for now, you will be watching over my granddaughter, Maria." They both started walking towards the door. "Ok..." Gerald sighed. "She doesn't have anyone to play with, and I'm counting on you to protect her."

The door opened and shadow saw a little girl tinkering with some lab equipment. "Maria, this is shadow. He'll be here for you to play with, talk to, and hang out. Ok?" She poked her head out. "Oh, ok grandfather." Gerald nodded and stepped back into the main lab. Maria stepped out of her space to look at him. "Hi there! What's your name?" She already knew his name, but friendship comes from learning the other first. Shadow stared at her for a moment, not knowing what to say. " It's okay. I don't bite." She walked closer to him. "My name is Shadow." A big smile came across Maria's face. "Would you like see my favorite spot here?" Again, shadow didn't know how to respond. "Uh, sur-" Maria grabbed shadow's hand. "Well, come on! It's so cool!" The two ran down the hallway to a big open room. There was a pod in the middle of the room with the controls close to it. Maria ran past, dragging shadow along with her to the giant window. When shadow got a good look outside, he gasped and his eyes widened. It was earth, shinning a profound blue."that's earth shadow. Where more humans like me live." Shadow was in awe.

Flahback #2 almost died

"Chaos Control!"

The bright energy engulfed the ARK, shaking with the force of gravity. And then, in a flash of light, the ARK popped back into orbit. "Aw yeah! We did it!" Sonic, who was in his super form, turned to shadow, who was in his super form. Sonic gave his hand out out to him. Shadow held his inhibitor rings in his hands. He returned Sonic's gesture with a high five, and looked up at the ARK. He had done it. All of a sudden, he felt weak and groaned. Shadow then started falling to Earth, letting go of the inhibitor ring in his right hand. "SHADOW!" Sonic screamed. He reached out for his hand only to grab the ring. Shadow still held the other as he looked on at the ARK. Shadow faintly smiled as his eyelids fell halfway. "Maria... This is what you wanted, right? This is my promise I made to you." He smiled as he closed his eyes. He used the last of his strength, as he was slowly turning back to normal, to chaos control to somewhere else.

"I don't know who exactly found me, but eggman said one of his robots did. I guess we'll never know."

Flashback#3

Goodbye, black doom.

"you have no control over me, black doom. I know understand why I am here.. I made a promise and I'm here to keep it. Today, I put the past behind me!"

...

Shadow had finally delt the final low on black doom. "Im... Impossible! I am the supreme being that rules this universe! I am the immortal life form! I am the ultimate power! Gahhhhh!" Black doom seemed to disappear. Super shadow breathed heavily. "This is the end of you. And the end to my cursed past." He landed down on the black comet, still residing in the middle of the city. "Only one thing left to do..." Shadow flew up and under the comet carrying it upwards. " To put the past behind me. Chaos... Control!"

It's been a little while, hasn't it? Anyhow, i hope you like this chapter! And if you're wondering what was with shadow at the beginning, you'll just have to wait to find out. See you in part 2! (P.S. last chapter, I meant to say chaos spear, not chaos blast. Oopsy!) P.P.S: I will have longer waiting times between uploading chapters because school has started for me so I won't have much time to myself. Don't worry though, part 2 is in the works. Write you later!
