Disclaimer: I don't own any SEGA characters here. Blah blah blah.
AN: Ummmm....I don't really have anything to say here....except....read & review, please! Oh yeah - go out and buy Sonic Adventure 2! Even if you have to kill for it, do it! Oh yeah - someone pointed out to me that I accidently put in 'niece' instead of granddaughter. My bad....I typed that story at midnight....^_^;;;
Oh - for the * notes:

Home Girl - chapter 2 a Sonic Adventure 2 fanfiction by Ly the werewolf
Shadow held onto Maria tightly as the small shuttle shot down to the planet below. The black hedgehog whispered softly into her ear, hoping to comfort the young, frightened child. " Grandpa....he's gone....he's dead....I never got to say goodbye....." The young cripple sobbed quietly into Shadow's chest, his soft white chest fur quickly soaking up her tears. Suddenly, the same female voice emitted from the speakers.
" DESTINATION: MOBIUS. ETA: 15 MINUTES." Shadow continued to comfort his creator's granddaughter, attempting to draw her attention to the glowing planet below them.
" Maria...." he breathed her name. " This is what I was created to protect...this magnificant planet that supports all matter of life. We should feel honoured that your grandfather sent us to such a paradise. Maria...." The artificial hedgehog gently wiped away one of her tears on the verge of falling with a white-gloved finger. " We' re almost there. You must be strong - for all the people of Mobius, and Prof. Gerald. We're going to make it." Maria closed her eyes and waited for the impact.
In a remote area, an elite team of overlanders, the most advanced of their kind, stood lined up in a row, frozen to their spots, like little tin soldiers. One of the overlanders swallowed quietly, his large green eyes scanning his surroundings. Medals, plaques, and faded photographs were scattered amongst the four walls, accenting perfectly with the cream coloured paint job. The object of thier attention was lounging casually in a reclining desk chair, drumming his fingers together. The man was huge; he stood six and a half feet tall. Easy. His barrel chest and short crew cut only added to the menacing stereotype. He sighed and glanced over to the leading overlander.
" Report." The recipiant of the question swallowed again, wrinkling his nose in a desperate attempt to curb the large bead of sweat running down his face.
" Well, sir, um, well, you see, it was kind of funny --"
" REPORT."
" Y-yes, yes sir!" The reporting officer adjusted his stiff collar and took a deep breath. " It went like this, sir. We managed to get onto ARK no problem, but we weren't counting on who, or what else would be on there." The general arched an inquisitive eyebrow.
" There were others besides Gerald and his gimpy little granddaughter?"
" Yes sir. Apparently, Prof. Gerald had activated Project: SHADOW some time ago. He was waiting there for us." The general slowly nodded.
" And...?" The officer blinked.
" And, well, he....he took out eighteen of our best men, sir."
" I see. And Project: SHADOW...? Where is it now, Officer Mouko*?" The reporting officer was now visibly shaking.
" Project: SHADOW.....Project: SHADOW escaped with the young crippled girl, sir." The general froze. Mouko glanced down at his General's nameplate: GENERAL KOROSHIYA**. Officer Mouko expected the worst, but, to everyone's surprize, General Koroshiya started...laughing..? Mouko blinked.
"....Sir...?" The general clutched the edge of his desk to keep from falling onto the floor.
" You....you mean....ha ha ha ha....you mean to tell me....ME....ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....that YOU GUYS, Sigma-Alpha 2....ha ha ha ha ha....THE most elite fighting force on Mobius.....ha ha ha ha ha couldn't manage to capture a three and a half foot tall hedgehog and a....he he he he he he...a young crippled girl...?! Ha ha ha ha ha.....oh my Goddess...you guys crack me up. Now, get outta here and find them before I have you all killed." Koroshiya finished the last of his sentence still chuckling. Mouko scratched his head quizzickly.
" Um, sir, we....we weren't joking." The general swivled his chair to the wall behind him.
" Neither was I."
Sigma-Alpah 2 grabbed their equipment and raced out of his office, leaving the brooding general alone with his thoughts. " Project: SHADOW.....Good Goddess, Gerald...What ELSE did you have cookin' up there...?"
A raging inferno.....the unbearable heat.....the choking black smoke.....
" Damn shuttle....*cough cough* wasn't supposed to catch fire....*wheeze*.....hence the whole ESCAPE SHUTTLE aspect!! *cough*" Crimson red eyes darted around the scene before him: flames, all around him. Shadow the Hedgehog ran his eyes over the dancing flames. " MARIA!!!" A tiny, pitiful cough could be heard near a pile of smouldering rubble. Shadow frantically searched for his surrogate little sister. " Maria!! Where are you!?!" No reply. After what seemed like an eternity of searching, a scrap of sky blue fabric caught his watchful eye. " Maria!" Sure enough, that scrap was connected to the whole. The hedgehog, black as the ashes around him, quickly approached the young girl lying in the burnt grass. " Oh Goddess....Maria! Speak to me!!" Large, blue eyes fluttered open momentarily, revealing the many emotions of Maria Robotnik.
" *cough cough*....S-Shadow......" Shadow smiled weakly, and lifted the weak young girl into his arms.
" Let's get out of this....." Shadow 'skated' out into the field, a few hundred yards away from the shuttle crash site. " Hmm? Oh...I guess the sky is always black.....Somehow, I thought it would be a lot more cheerful looking..." The black hedgehog adjusted his weight, and ran off into the night, seeking, meeting, and defeating whatever may cross their paths.
' By the Goddess....'
A blinding light.
' What's going on....?'
The first rays of light; of dawn.
' How long have I been running?'
Birds begin to chirp; the sky is turning lighter.
' My whole body....I feel like I'm going to collapse....'
Bright blue begins to wash over the sky.
' Maria...I'm sorry.....'

Dun dun dun!! What's gonna happen? Okay - one thing - I'm sorry if I made Shadow a nature dunce. I just realized while I was typing: " Hey, wait a minute....Radical Highway....Sky Rail....White Jungle....oops. Shadow's been on Mobius before....and has probably seen a sunrise....heh heh....aw crap...." So, afterwards, I ALSO realized: " BUT, since Maria DID survive, and the whole Sonic Adventure 2 storyline didn't even happen, so, this is Shadow's first time on Mobius!" Ha! Take THAT, you lousy plotholes!!
Ja ne~
