So. This chapter might not turn out that good. Mostly because this is my second attempt at writing this chapter. What happened was that I had been writing this chapter, and I had already written two pages in size 11 font size. Which was a lot seeing how small the font was. Then I was trying to change my birthday settings, which didn't go so well. I accidentally put that I was twelve, and then it logged me out without letting me get anything.

I needed my passport or my driver's license, but I don't have any of those on me so I couldn't do either. So I tried downloading my data, but it didn't download the story I had been working on, so I wasted my time. I also think my channel is deleted, but I'm not sure. Anyways, time to answer the most recent question.

WAKING UP IN A RANDOM room with a blue hedgehog on top of him was not what Shadow wanted to wake up to. He actually didn't want to wake up with anyone on top of him in general. Sitting up abruptly, Sonic fell off of him and rolled over, waking up immediately. He jolting up with those super quick reflexes of his, which came in handy during battle.
"Huh.. what- where..?" the blue blur went on with trying to figure out what was happening, Shadow stood up and brushed himself off. It seemed that they had been trapped in a room without doors or windows, so no light. This was probably the doing of the Doctor. He could see perfectly fine of course, hence his ability to see in the dark. The faker on the other hand…
"Wait a minute. Where am I? Is there anyone there?" Sonic walked around idiotically, bumping into walls with his hands out in front of him in the fashion of a zombie. The azure hedgie bumped into Shadow, much to his annoyance. To prevent the sudden face grabbing that he was about to receive, the charcoal furred hedgehog grabbed the younger Mobian's wrists, not expecting the sudden kick to the gut he received.

Letting go of Sonic's wrists Shadow stumbled backward, holding his stomach in pain. "I'm not letting you take me without a fight!" yelled the spirited hero, as he looked around wildly for his opponent. It wasn't a very useful tactic since he can't see.

Forcing himself to stand, even though the very present ache in his chest wasn't helping, Shadow reached out for the blue blurs wrists once again. He knocked his blue counterpart onto the floor, this time pinning him onto the ground so he won't receive the same treatment he had gone through a moment ago.
"Faker," the ebon growled, struggling to keep the surprisingly strong hedgehog under him. "It's me, you can stop panicking now." seeing the sudden realization wash across his face, Shadow got off of the blue idiot and stood up.

"Um... Shadow? Where are you?" again, remembering the faker couldn't see in the dark, Shadow smacked his forehead and grabbed his wrist once again. "Alright, since you do not have the ability to see in the dark, and I do possess that ability, you are going to grab my hand, and not let go until I say so. Understand?"

"You want me to hold your hand? Like.. how couples do?" questioned Sonic, looking at where their hands would be connected. There was a strange look on his face, and it seemed as if something was bothering the cobalt hedgehog.

"Yes, is there a problem with that Faker?" answered Shadow, looking at said fake with slight confusion. There shouldn't be a problem with that. The only reason he was going to hold the Faker's hand was that he couldn't see in the dark. "Do you not want my help then?" Shadow inquired, letting go of Sonic's wrist.

"Wait no!" suddenly his hand was grabbed again, and gripped on with a little more force than he would have liked. "It's not that… It's just- Ugh, nevermind. Are you ready to go Shads?" The mood change was unexpected, but Shadow assumed that it was just another one of the blue hedgehogs half-ass attempts at humor. An unnatural one at that.

"Sure hedgehog." retorted the coal furred hedgehog muttered, scanning the perimeter for anything that would lead them to freedom. A panel in the wall on the other side of the room caught his eye, and the alien hybrid immediately made his way towards it, dragging the renowned hero along with him.

"Shadow what are you doing?" yelped the blue hedgehog as he was taken against his will to a place where he didn't know he was going to. Not answering the question, the aforementioned hedgehog flipped open the panel, examining its contents.

There was an array of multi-colored wires, all of them tangled and knotted in so many places that it looked like Sonic's quills when he had his first energy drink. It wasn't a pretty sight mind you. Looking over what he needed to do to rig this sort of system, Shadow noticed a big red button standing in the center of it all. Which meant he would have to put his hand into the wiring; definitely not safe. Not caring if he was hurt or not, a black-furred arm was shoved into the wiring, and a button was pressed.

A door opened up somewhere, and Sonic noticed it too, seeing the way that his ears perked up at the noise. Once more, Shadow yanked Sonic with him towards the door, this time no noise coming from the hero to Shadow's amazement.

SONIC HAD ABSOLUTELY no idea what was going on. Shadow wasn't any help either since he was just yanking him around everywhere without any warning. He decided not to say anything because there wasn't any point. It wasn't like the biohog was going to listen to him in the first place, so being pulled around like extra luggage was the best option if he didn't want to get left behind.

The blue blur could hear a lot of noises around him, surely Shadow trying to get them out of there. Shadow actually helping him in the first place was astonishing. He had always thought that the edgy hedgehog hated him down to the very core, hence that he was always fighting him and pushing him away. Now they were holding hands? If there were anyone else but them watching there would surely be a lot of questions, and fangirls screaming about how cute they were together.

Shadow wasn't the type to get all "touchy" anyways. He would barely let Rouge and Omega get close to him, so Sonic being able to hold hands with him was a lot. Not saying that he wanted to hold hands of course! This was just an inescapable predicament that they have gotten into, and since Shadow can see in the dark and he can't, this was just the best option.

The hero didn't know where he was going anyways. He couldn't see, which was a major weakness in case any enemies came around. So he would have to rely on Shadow to protect him, which was embarrassing to say the least. He was perfectly capable of protecting himself! He didn't need any help from the Faker. But as much as it pained him, he couldn't fight in the dark and would be completely vulnerable.

Sighing with irritation, Sonic squeezed Shadow's hand a bit, trying to find some way to release the quickly building anxiety and anger. This was the second-worst thing that had happened to him so far. Why were they in this mess in the first place? Oh right. It was because of the stupid game that he had decided he and his friends were going to play.

Sonic jumped when there was a loud noise behind him, something that sounded like a door slamming. The blue blur looked around, but for no reason because he still couldn't see. "Shadow? Where are we?" he called out.

"We are in a completely empty room hedgehog." mused the biohog. "It seems that this is similar to the room we were in before." as he said that the lights came on, causing both of them to flinch at the unexpected brightness. They let go of each other's hands, taking the moment to rub their eyes and adjust to the light. It was definitely welcome after walking in the dark for what seemed like hours.

When his eyes adjusted, emerald eyes scanned the room. The room was completely bare, except for its white walls and clear lights coming out of the ceiling. There were strange pointed piped coming out of the top area of the walls, but otherwise there was nothing interesting to this room. 'Something bad is going to happen. I can feel it.' the blue blur thought to himself.

NEITHER OF THEM knew what was going to happen, but by looking at the pipes on top of the walls, Shadow guessed that there would be some type of poison about to be released into the room. He could manage it since he was the Ultimate Lifeform. His body can manage almost any poison, so this shouldn't be too much of a problem.

"Faker?" blue ears perking up was a sign that the hedgehog was listening. "Don't panic, but this room is going to be filled with poison at a random time." Shadow knew this wouldn't go well, especially if the faker died from this. Sonic on the other hand, wasn't taking this well.

"What do you mean this room is going to be filled with poison!? I can't die like this! How are we gonna get out of here!?" Shadow face palmed as Sonic panicked, which was talking rapidly and walking around without stopping.

Sonic didn't even notice when the room started filling up with pink smoke, which he was assuming was the poison. The smell was what caught their attention. The aroma wasn't like poison, but it smelled like perfume. They should know since Amy and Rouge wear it all the time.

As the room started filling up, they both breathed it in. Except nothing was happening. That couldn't be right. Weren't they supposed to be, I dunno burning? Dying at this very second? After a few minutes, the air in the room started to clear and nothing else happened after that. "That's strange. Nothing happened-" Shadow's sentence was cut off as a loud thud was heard next to him.

Sonic's body hit the floor like a rag doll. He seemed to have passed out from the smoke, but he didn't look like he was dying from poison. Shadow immediately went over to him and lifted his head onto his lap, checking his pulse. 'The beat is fast and strong as ever,' the biohog thought to himself as he checked for poison symptoms.

How could he have let this happen? Would this be another person that he couldn't save? Someone else who would have to go like Maria? What was he going to do now? What would Sonic's friends say?

The sudden movement the came from the unconscious hedgehog jolted Shadow out of his thoughts, bringing him back to the current moment. "Sonic?" quietly asked the ebon, checking the pulse again and searching for any more movements. A subtle groan signified to the lifeform that the renowned hero of Mobius was alive, and hopefully well.

At least that's what he thought. When Sonic opened his eyes, they weren't that usual emerald green that he had come to enjoy so much. Instead, it was pink, much like the color of Rouge's heart plate. His pupil was shaped into a heart and as he got up, his eyes seemed to be watching him. Closely.

"Faker? Are you okay?" Shadow didn't know what to make of this. The faker was looking at him like someone who was going to hunt someone down, and keeps them.

"I'm always okay when you are around…" that voice wasn't natural. It seemed seductive in a way, which definitely made him uncomfortable. Why was he acting like this? Was Sonic under the influence of the smoke?

He was about to find out, but first, he had to make sure Sonic wouldn't do something he would regret later.

As I said, this chapter wouldn't turn out that good. I had a plan for this chapter, but I sort of went off of it and got excited during certain parts. Don't worry, there are more chapters to come, but next time we got Silver and someone who wasn't even there in the first place. Until next time beauties!
