Well, final chapter everyone, this is the part you've been waiting for, it's…

Sonic yells from audience: Aw shut up Time Traveler and get going.

Me: Thank you! Your right, lets get started, but first, I would like to thank Sparky the 7th Chotix, for putting my fic on his favorites list. I also like to thank all those kind reviewers out there!

Inuyashe yells: Shut up and begin you (bleep)!

Me: ALL RIGHT!!!

The End…of the Beginning



"Security Alert! Security Alert", blared the alarm. The guards ran into the lab where Gerald and Shadow where. "I swore they where here", said the guard, who witnessed the teleportation.

Suddenly a monitor on the nearby counsel flashed, attracting their attention. On the screen was Gerald and Shadow. "They are in the core of the base! Let's go, let's go!"



Meanwhile, in the core area, Gerald quickly locked the door to the room. "It won't stop them but it will hold them long enough." "Okay", said Shadow, "Now what do I do?" Gerald said, "All you do is jump on to the top. When I open the chamber you go on opening platform." He paused to head to the control panel. "Now when you are in you will curl up into a fetal position and will go into a hibernation stage. Fortunately, there is no need to worry about side-effects or disorientation's once-o-ever."

Shadow nodded and jumped on to the pod. Before he went on the opening platform, Gerald said, "Remember Shadow, I am counting on you, and so is Maria."

As Shadow was lowered inside the capsule and as he went into a fetal position, he said, "Don't worry Maria. As soon as I awaken, I will fulfill that promise I made to you!" Soon he began to feel sleep come apon him and he gave into it.

The capsule lowered into the pit and snapped close. Gerald made the finishing inputs into the console and logged out, just as the door opened.

"Freeze!" Three guards handled Gerald while the others looked at the console. "We are too late, it is inside the chamber now!"

Gerald was brought before General Motack. The General asked Gerald, "What did you just do Gerald and why?" Gerald responded, "I put him in suspended animation until he is required again by anyone! He will soon carry out my revenge!" Motack looked at Gerald and said, "Since he is doing this under your influence, I hereby order that that section be restricted and that you shall be executed, tomorrow morning!" He ordered the gaurds to take him away.

They granted Gerald one last request, to type at his diary one last time. He wrote this:

"Based on my original projections, I was able to complete my project, Shadow. I designed its mind to be perfect, pure, I will leave everything to him. If you wish, release and awaken it to the world…if you want to fill the world with destruction."

He finished his diary up with the password to the Space Colony, the console of the sleep capsule and its location.



1.1 Morning

Gerald was brought to the cell where he was put in solitary confinement, and where he drew up his plan.

They chained him down to chair, and several armed soldiers came in. Last was General Motack. Nearby was a camera recording the execution. However Gerald activated a small device in his palm that started a countdown to activate a pre-programmed tap-in program that would record his final words.

Motack asked him, "Is there anything you want to say before your sentence is carried out?" "Yes", said Gerald. As soon as he did the link activated and it took the same shots the nearby camera was recording.

Gerald bowed his head and said, "This is a death sentence for every human being on Earth. If my calculations are correct, the Space Colony A.R.K. will impact the Earth in 27 minutes and 53 seconds. All of you will be destroyed, along with your beloved planet Earth!" Everyone looked at Gerald, as if he had gone completely off his rocker.

Gerald continued by saying, "I plan to give you taste of my revenge! Once all the 7 Chaos Emeralds are collected, once I initiate this program, it cannot be disabled. All of you ungrateful humans, who took everything from me, will feel my loss and despair."

Motack stepped forward and asked, "Is there anything more you would like to say?" Geralds responded, "No."

"Ready!"

The link deactivated and saved it for playing when it was time. The soldiers brought up their guns.

"Aim!"

They pointed their guns at Gerald.

"FIRE!"

"BAM!"

As of that moment, Professor Gerald Robotnik was no more. His diary was later given to his last relatives. As for the Chaos Emerald, which had no more usefulness, was given to Station Square.

*50 years later*

Shadow awoke and heard the capsule was rising. Must be my time, he thought. When the top opened and he came out he looked into the pit and saw who woke him.

The man was in a strange walking machine. He almost looked like Gerald. Maybe he is his ancestor, thought Shadow.

The man yelled, "What? Is that you Sonic? Are you trying to spoil my plans again? Wait you're not Sonic! This is impossible!"

Shadow decided to respond, "My name is Shadow. Since you were so kind as to release me, my master, I will grant you one wish!"

This marked the beginning of Shadow's own adventure!
