A STORY OF SHADOW.
Chapter 9:Gerald Robotnik's Plans of Destruction/Maria Robotnik's True Wishes.... By Ninetalesuk.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Of all my stories I made on here, this the most popular one of all! I'm just
gonna hate it when this story ends. Oh well... Like I said before, and I'll say it again, this
story is based on Shadow's point of view throughout 'Sonic Adventure 2' for the Dreamcast and
'Sonic Adventure 2:Battle' on the GameCube. Characters appearing in that game belongs to SEGA
and the Sonic Team.
I slowly walked through the corridors of the ARK, wondering what just happened. A few moments
ago, I was the Ultimate Lifeform.... Now, I'm a confused lifeform. Rouge has shown me some
documents about the 'Project Shadow' and the picture is not ME! And to make matters worst, I've
been beaten by that blue hedgehog, Sonic, TWICE!
I felt that I failed Maria, my promise to her has not been furfilled because of Sonic. He stopped
the Eclipse Cannon from firing and destroying planet Earth with a fake emerald that looked like
a golden Chaos Emerald.
And right now, I'm even more confused. The space colony ARK is now racing towards Earth and I
don't know why! What is happening here?!
My answers soon came when I looked at a screen at the side of the corridor and saw a familiar
face. A face that I saw long, long ago that I will never forget.
My creator..... The owner of ARK..... Dr. Eggman and Maria's grandfather.........
Professor Gerald Robotnik.......
I stood in shock.... Gerald is gone, DEAD! Just like that book I read before I stole the green
Chaos Emerald! Then, I stood realise that this was a video clip. I stood and watch, wondering
what was going on....
"This is a death sentance for every human being on Earth." Gerald said on the video screen. "If
my calculations are correct, the space colony ARK will impact the Earth in 27 minutes, 53
seconds. All of you will be destroyed, along with your beloved planet Earth!"
I was amazed to hear Gerald's voice. When I listen to Gerald long ago, his voice was caring and
helpful. Now, in this video, his speech was filled with pain, sadness and bearing a uncaring and
cold voice.
I stared in horror as my formor creator continues....
"I plan to give you a taste of my revenge. Once all the 7 Chaos Emeralds are collected." Gerald
continued "Once I initiate this program, it cannot be disabled. All of you UNGRATEFUL humans who
took everything away from me will feel MY loss and dispair!"
I stood in silent as Gerald became silent until I heard a voice offscreen shouting to Gerald.
"Is there anything else you want to say?!" he asked to Gerald.
"No" was Gerald's reply and his final word.
"Ready-!" came the voice again, and I quickly realized that this is footage of Gerald going to be
shot by the GUN military! His execution! There was a bright light and the film started over again
with Gerald saying 'I play to give you a taste of my revenge'.
I sighed... I can't believe this is happening...
I stood at the corridor, wondering what I was for in the first place until the video of Gerald's
execution has been replaced by some words...
I walked over to it and started reading. It came from the medical room, the same room where
Eggman tried to kill Sonic but, failed... When ever the medical doctor need to send a medical
report to Gerald, he puts it into the computer and it transfers it into a corridor computer.
When I started to read the file, I soon realised that this is an entry from Gerald's diary. The
more I read, the more I realised what Gerald needs me for....
It read; 'I don't quite know what happened or what went wrong. Was it a mistake to create the
Ultimate Lifeform? I thought it would be something to benifit mankind, but then the military
guards landed on the colony that day. They were sent to destroy the research project that I had
been working on. My colleages at the reseach facility, my granddaughter Maria...I hope you are
all safe. The colony was shut down, probably to keep the cannon from falling into the wrong
hands. The ARK was shut down under the premesis that there had been an accident. I found Maria's
name among those who had died when the ARK was shut down. She meant EVERYTHING to me, and I
couldn't bear the thought that she died because of MY reseach! I lost EVERYTHING! I had nothing
more to LIVE for! I went INSANE! All I could think about was to avenge her. Somehow. Someway. I
got scared as I was no longer able to control my thoughts. All I could think about was that I
wanted it all to end. Based on my orginal 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 wish to fill the world with destruction...'
Now I understand what I was for.... To lead some foolish human or animal hybrid to use collect
the 7 Chaos Emeralds to begin the program to destroy Earth. The program didn't worked when we
fired the Eclipse Cannon to the moon because we only had 6 Chaos Emeralds. Now, Eggman has all 7
and fired the cannon, the program has begun...
I guess, everything has now gone to plan... But, why do I feel like I have done something wrong?
I walked into the medical room where it was empty. No one was there, except me. I walked over to
the computer and pressed 'eject'. A disk came out and it was Gerald's diary. Guess they know the
truth about me now....
I placed the disk down and walked to the window, staring at Earth as it slowly got closer and
closer. I knew there is nothing to save them now....
That is, until Amy Rose came into the room....
Amy ran up to my side and said "Shadow! We need you! Please help us!" she begged.
I just stared out of the window, without looking up at Amy. "It's all going accoring to plan.
There's no reason for me to help them. Besides, there's no way to save anyone."
"There HAS to be!" Amy said. "I know that people fight over the most trivial things. SOME people
may be selfish, like the professor said. But they're basicly good. If they try their best and
never give up on their wishes, they always have a reason to be happy! That's why you should help
them out! Saving them is a GOOD thing! Shadow, I BEG you! Please do it for them! Give them
a chance-" and then, something happens.
Amy's words brought back me the full memory Maria's last wish!
It was the same before. I was in a capsule while Maria had slumped over at the console.
"Shadow... I beg of you..." Maria gasped, dying. "... please... do it for me..."
"MARIA!" I screamed to her.
"-for all 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 were brought into this
world... Sayranora... Shadow the Hedgehog..."
She pressed the button and sended me to Earth, before she fell down to the floor and died...
"... Now I remember it all. And I must keep that promise... that's what Maria wished for..." I
whispered, as a tear rolled down my cheek....
"Shadow?" Amy called.
"I got to go now! I got to keep my promise to Maria, and you" I said to Amy, before I turned
around and ran out of the room.
I arrived at the core of the colony and spotted Sonic and his friend, Knuckles the Echidna,
running towards to the core where the 7 Chaos Emeralds are on somekind of shrine.
"What's that?!" Knuckles asked, surprised at the shape of the shrine. "The core looks like the
shrine to the Master Emerald!"
"They probably designed the core like the shrine, to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds."
Sonic said, before continuing their run to the core.
Before I could join them, I heard Gerald's words haunting the station...
"All of you ungrateful humans who took everything away from me will feel my loss-!!!"
I looked up and saw huge energy sparking in the center.
"Knuckles, here it comes!!!" Sonic shouted.
"-and dispair!" Gerald's voice finished.
Gerald's voice continued to echo as as the energy produced a creature of immense size. I gasped
when I saw 'it'! A large biomechanical lizard. He looks like the creature on the 'Project Shadow'
papers Rouge showed me!
"All of you ungrateful humans will FEEL MY LOSS AND DISPAIR!!!!!" Gerald's voice finished, almost
shouting. I shook my head and jumped down, running towards Sonic and Knuckles.
"Could this be the prototype of the ultimate lifeform that was suppose to be encapsulated?"
Knuckles asked.
My running soon turned into a walk as I passed by Sonic and Knuckles.
"Leave this one to me." I said.
"Shadow, what are you doing?!" Sonic asked, I'm sure hes shocked to see me helping him.
I walked up to the Biolizard, glaring at him. I turned to Sonic and shouted "I'll take care of
this, while you run and get the Chaos Emeralds!"
Sonic and Knuckles ran past the Biolizard as the creature was staring at ME! I didn't care. I
have to furfill Maria's promise to save the world, along with Amy's....
If I work with Sonic and his friends, Gerald's plans of destruction will NEVER be furfilled!!!!
