Chapter 2
All right everyone; this is where it gets exciting! However this contains a scene which is my favorite scene from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (which I don't own, so don't sue), and it is so emotional, it brought tears to my eyes as I wrote it (sniff) so you might want to keep some tissues handy.
Oh and by the way, thank you for sending me those kind reviews, they inspire me to keep writing! Well let's go!
Space Colony A.R.K. Year: 2027
Outside the space colony A.R.K., a huge ship, labeled G.U.N., approached. Over the radio, a voice said, "This is a dispatch from military HQ we request for immediate landing!" "Roger", came the response, "you may land at dock two."
The ship soon docked within the colony and the troops began to move out.
At the space colony control center, Prof. Gerald was overlooking the almost completed construction of the Eclipse Cannon on his monitors. He also just imputed the data of the Ultimate Life Form, which he named after Shadow, since he is the completion of that project.
He just finished imputing the data on the Biolizard. He was about to input Shadow's when the alarm blared. "I'm not expecting anyone", said the professor. He said to Maria and Shadow, who were watching the construction of the Cannon as well, "Stay here, you two, until I find out what this is about." With that he left the control room.
No sooner did he leave the room, Maria said, "I am worried Shadow, I want to find out what is happening." "As do I, Maria", responded Shadow. "Well lets find out", said Maria. "But the professor said", Shadow go cut off. "We have a right to know Shadow, plus, I am not a child anymore, and besides", Maria paused then said, "It might concern you." "I see your point", said an awestruck Shadow, "Well let's go!" With that they ran off after the Professor.
Gerald ran through the hallways of the colony, trying to find out what it was that caused the alarm to go off. He ran and bumped into someone. He knew this person. His name was General Motack. He was all bulky, and he had a stern face. He grinned at Gerald, "Nice to see you doc." "What is all this for", asked Gerald. "Where here to destroy your project on the Ultimate Life Form!" "WHAT", gasped Gerald, "Why, I put so much work into it." Motack responded, "Our leader thinks that this thing could be dangerous, if it were to fall into the wrong hands. We can't take any chances." Then the General looked and saw someone. Pointing he said, "Is that hedgehog the life form?"
Gerald looked to where he was pointing and saw Maria and Shadow. He yelled, "Maria, Shadow, go! RUN!" Seeing this Maria and Shadow quickly ran off.
Motack said to his troops, "Stop them and bring them to me. If they fail to cooperate, kill the hedgehog." Yes Sir!" said his troops and two of them ran off after them.
Motack grabbed Gerald, and said in a hissing tone, "Take us to the prototype of this project, otherwise you'll suffer a worse fate than your granddaughter might."
Meanwhile, Maria and Shadow ran down the hallways towards the lab. As they ran they could hear the two soldiers yell, "Where are they?" "Find them before they escape!"
Minutes later, Maria and Shadow where in the lab. Maria ran to a control panel and, gesturing towards a bright circle, she said, "Quick Shadow! Stand there." "Okay", said an uneasy Shadow. Suddenly one of the guards appeared at the door. He yelled, "Stop, or I will shoot!" Maria ignored him, so the guard aimed his rifle at Shadow. But he aimed wrong, so when he fired his gun at Maria.
"MARIA!" yelled Shadow. Clutching her chest, she pushed a button on the control console that activated the escape capsule. "What", asked Shadow, who was overcome by the sudden activation of the glass cage, he was now in.
Maria said slowly to Shadow, "Shadow, I beg of you, please do it for me. For a better future…" "Maria", Shadow yelled softly. But Maria continued to speak, "For all the people who live on that planet, give them a chance to be happy. Let them live for their dreams. Shadow, I know you can do it. That's the reason you where brought into this world." The pushing the eject button she said, "Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog."
As Shadow's capsule was ejected into the void of space, heading to Earth, he looked back at the colony and yelled helplessly, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MAAAARIIIIAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Aboard the A.R.K., a doorway into a contained area is opened. "This is where it is", said a saddened Professor Gerald, who didn't know of his granddaughter's fate. "Move in", yelled the General.
The Biolizard saw them, and gave a huge, "ROAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!" "OPEN FIRE!" yelled the General. With that everyone fired their weapons at the creature, but not one was able to make a mark.
"Sir", said one of the soldiers, "This things body is designed to absorb attacks." "We'll have to shut down the entire colony then", said the General. "What!" said Gerald, "What shall we tell the public", asked another soldier. "We'll tell them that there was a major accident in the labs and can't be helped." Turning to his troops, he said, "Get everyone on this planet to evacuate, and if any resists, shoot them!"
Hours later
Gerald looked back at that colony, where his life work was dedicated. He sad he was leaving it all behind. I just hope Maria got out all right, he said to himself.
The Next Day
As the morning sun rose, a huge capsule crashed into a large field. When it hit the ground exploded, leaving nothing but a small crater in the middle. In that crater, was a unconscious hedgehog.
Suddenly his eyes opened. He stood up and rubbed his head. "Where am I", he asked, "What happened?" When he said that, images of the previous scene occurred in his mind: "Please do it for me… for all the people on that planet… Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog."
"Maria", Shadow said as he came to his senses. "What's wrong, I know what happened, but I can't seem to remember all of Maria's wish!"
He looked around, and took in his surroundings. Suddenly he realized where he was, "I must be on Earth!" He closed his eyes, and a tear ran down his cheek as he said, "Maria, you where right, this planet is beautiful. I just wish you where here to see it."
Shadow suddenly clenched his hand into a fist and said, " Maria, I promise you, even if it takes my entire life, I will remember what you asked me to do, and I will fulfill it!" with that he hover-bladed off into the distance.
G.U.N. Prison Island Top Secret Military Base
Gerald fumed in his laboratory. He was disappointed that his life's research has just went down the drain, but what made it worse was the worry for his granddaughter and colleagues.
He took the disk that contained his diary, took it into a nearby computer, inserted it, and began typing:
I don't know what happened or what went wrong. Was it a mistake to create the ultimate life form? I thought it would be something that would benefit mankind, but then the military guards landed on the colony that day. They have been sent to destroy the work my colleagues and I where working on.
My colleagues at the research facility, my granddaughter, Maria, I hope you are all safe.
The colony was completely shut down, probably to keep the prototype from falling into the wrong hands. The A.R.K. was shut down, under the premise that there had been an accident.
Gerald ended it there and saved his entry. Just as he was taking the disk out a soldier came into his lab. "What is it that you want", Gerald said coldly. "The Commander thinks you have a right to see this list." He handed Gerald a bunch of papers and said, "This is the list of people that died when Space Colony A.R.K. got shut down."
Gerald partially ignored him. However when he reached the "R's" he saw something that made his eyes bug out. It was the words: ROBOTNIK, MARIA. "No", he gasped, "This can't be!" He felled to his knees and yelled, "MARIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
To be continued….
Well, Fanfiction. Netters, this is where I'll be saying Ciao for now. Don't you fret, for I will make more attempts to try to write new chapters and stories. Well, as they say in Back to the Future, "I will see you in the Future!"- The Time Traveler.
