MandyTheHedgie: Shadow, do it.
Shadow: Why should I, again?
MandyTheHedgie: We had a deal. I wouldn't murder you if you did the disclaimers.
Shadow: Well, I'll have you know that Sonic's been going through your stuff. *smirks at look on Mandy's face*
MandyTheHedgie: SONIC! *runs in search of him*
Silver: *shows up with security tape* You're welcome, Shadow.
Shadow: Do the disclaimer, and I'll give you the Chaos Emerald.
Silver: Fine. MandyTheHedgie doesn't own us just ideas.
We appeared at the lab, Eggman cursing under his breath. He turned to me and said, "I didn't expect Team Dark to learn about this soon. Metal!" He cried, turning from me. Metal replied "Yes, Doctor?" "I want you to train with Dusk against the Shadow Androids. Understand?" "Yes Doctor." Metal beckoned at me to follow him. As we walked, I put the question to him.
"Who were those people we were fighting? Why did the black and red one have red eyes? And what's GUN?" We stopped in the hallway, Metal doing the equivalent of a sigh of exasperation. He said, "Not now, Dusk. Wait until we get into the training room, please?" I sighed in defeat. We walked the rest of the way in silence, the only sound I could hear our footsteps echoing around inside the metal walls. Upon entering the training room, Metal shut and locked the door. He froze for a few moments, then turned to me and said "We can now talk freely without the Doctor knowing."
"The people we were fighting were Team Dark. Specifically, Shadow the Hedgehog, Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega. They all used to work with Dr. Eggman, but for different reasons. Shadow had amnesia, and the Doctor had a diary from his great-grandfather that would help him. Rouge was originally working for jewels, but it soon became an undercover operation. Omega was programmed to hunt down Gamma, a living weapon like myself. Before he destroyed him, Gamma downloaded himself into Omega, causing him to defect."
"GUN is a military orginazation that fights against Eggman often. It has some of the most advanced technology on Mobius, and is a constant thorn in his side." Metal finished, looking at me expectantly. "Okay, but you still haven't answered my other question. Why does Shadow have red eyes?" Metal made an odd sound, almost like a ... laugh? I stared at him and asked my question again. Metal then sighed and said, "Well, you see... Oh how do I put this? Umm... Why not I start from the beggining."
"Shadow is an artificially created lifeform like yourself. He was created to be the cure for NIDS, because his creators granddaughter had it. Well, Shadow became friends with her over the course of several years. Then GUN invaded the Space Colony Ark, the lab where Shadow was created. He was trying to save her life. They made it to the escape pod, then ran into a problem. They couldn't activate the pod from the inside. Shadow tried to put her into the pod, but she shoved him in. He was trapped and unable to help her, and watched as she was shot. Her last breath was used to activate the pod."
He landed on Earth, unconscious. He was transported to Prison Island, and put into a stasis pod for fifty years. Eggman came at the end of the end of that time and released him. Shadow only wanted revenge for the girl. He nearly destroyed the planet. Something Sonic did changed his mind and convinced him to help save Earth. After that, Shadow worked out a deal with the president and the commander of GUN, and became a GUN agent."
"Eggman wasn't very happy about that. Fortunetly, he had obtained some of Shadow's DNA, enabling him to create his own ultimate life form... You." "Wait, what? You mean to say I'm technically Shadow's clone?!" I replied in surprise. Me, nothing but a copy? The nerve of that robot to even suggest such a thing! But, then again... That would explain why we had the same abilities and why we were using them the same way. Looking down at my inhibitors, I realized that they looked just like the bracelets he was wearing. I said, in what I hoped was an impassive voice, "I'm tired. I'm gonna go to to bed." Looking at Metal, I saw that I had successfully fooled him.
Entering my room, I sank down on the bed. Holding my head in my hands, I groaned aloud. I could care less that I had the same powers as that guy. But being his clone? That was adding insult to injury, for both of us. I thought about what I should do next. Obviously, working for Eggman wasn't the rich choice. He's had three good soldiers defect from him, for crying out loud! Thinking about Team Dark, I suddenly had an idea. What if I anomonously sent them info? Did my own undercover operation? It wasn't a bad idea, but ... I didn't even know what I was thinking! Why did I want to help my predacasser so badly? I guess it was because of the recent events and the things I had learned cause, honestly, ever since I had stepped out of the life pod, I had a bad feeling about Eggman.
So, I would help GUN, secretly of course. I have access to the most restricted of files. Looking around my room, I saw a flash drive. Perfect! I could use that to download sensitive information. My plan was set. I would act first thing in the morning.
MandyTheHedgie: Where is he!? Oh, hey Silver, what are you doing here?
Silver: *evil grin, holds up tape* Helping Shadow get out of disclaimer duty. I got a Chaos Emerald for it, to.
Shadow:*sweatdrops*

Sonic: Mandy, don't forget what you promised.
