Autumn Breeze Chapter 1- A Fresh Start
"Now Shadow!" Sonic screams. "CHAOS CONTROL!" The two heroes yell. Instantly, the ARK, Sonic, and Shadow teleport all at once. They appear over a different area over the Earth.
Sonic is very pleased at the job that Shadow and himself had pulled off. Sonic, grinning, gradually turns towards Shadow. "Was that a tough enough task for yourself, Mr. Ultimate Life form?" Sonic finds that Shadow isn't floating beside him, but is instead falling quickly towards Earth. "Shadow!" Sonic cries out.
"Maria. This is what you wanted right? This is my promise I made to you." Shadow says to himself in his head as he goes unconscious. Sonic notices his ring level is down to 19. He reluctantly heads back to the ARK, even though his comrad falls to the blue planet. There is nothing he can do. If he goes for Shadow, he'll run out of rings and fall himself. Shadow disappears into the Earth's atmosphere with a flash of pink light.
A few days later.
Shadow awakens. He is in a thick forest, with many trees and vines, and he can even hear birds chirping all around. It is late in the afternoon, around 5 or 6. He finds that his vision is very blurry. He feels pain on many parts of his body. He manages to crawl to his feet, and he stumbles around. He comes to a river and quickly washes his eyes.
"Agh. much better." He examines his arms and legs. They have burn marks, cuts, scrapes, and singes all over. He climbs into the cool water and cleans his wounds thoroughly. Suddenly, Shadow remembers what had happened. He recalls falling, passing out. "Hmmm. It's a miracle that I'm not dead" he says to himself. After washing up and resting for a little while, he climbs out of the water. He begins to dry himself off in the way a dog would. He kneels down and shakes his body violently, causing water to fly off of him and go everywhere. "Hmmm, now to get outta here." He begins to walk down a small trail. The leaves are all yellow and redish and are falling from the trees, a sign that autumn is here. Along the way he observes some of the natural surroundings around him. He even stops for a few minutes to eat some fruit off of a tree. "Mmmm, interesting taste this fruit has." He says as he munches down a few pieces of fruit. After about a thirty minute walk, he comes to a clearing. There's a beach straight ahead; not the kind with sun-bathers and such, just an open shore. To his left he sees a massive building that seems to be a prison. To his right is a big harbor with a huge base of some sort. "Hmmm. Ah, I know where I am", he says to himself. "Prison Island".
He looks off into the horizon. He sees a long strip of land and a big city. "Station Square is that way. hmmm." He thinks about it for a while and comes to a decision. Shadow decides that maybe it'd be best that he not go back to that place. He didn't want to undergo a big ordeal. He really had no reason to go back. Plus, G.U.N. would soon be looking for him anyway, and he didn't want to be cryogenically frozen again. So, he came to the conclusion that he'd set off for a new life somewhere peaceful and quiet. Where he could be not only care-free, but wouldn't have to fight on a daily basis. "Yea, the good life" he thought to himself. "Maybe I'll get a job, and have a nice warm home. A free life, where I can do as I please, and not have to worry about having to hide all the time. No more running. Just an honest, clean life."
Shadow notices a big cargo ship nearby. It appeared to be preparing for departure. "This is my way out" he thought. He quickly ran across the deserted beach and to the dock. He paused for a moment to make sure no one was looking. Then he quickly jumped on the boat. He climbed down the back and into the hull. From there, he climbed over some cargo and got into the back of the hull. He quietly set up a brief living quarter. He took some old cloth and made a little pallet to rest on. He moved some cargo around to make a little table. Also, the cargo just happened to be a shipment of fruit, so he didn't have to worry about starving. "Ah, well, this might turn out to be pretty good." He says as he relaxes on his pallet.
A little while later.
The boat begins to set sail. Shadow sits up and begins to look out of his little window. The sun is halfway set already, and is putting off a beautiful glow, shimmering off of the sea. The Autumn wind is cool and refreshing. Shadow peers out of his window, thinking of all he has endured in his life. All of the people he's met, the troubles in his life, and all the loved ones he has lost. He lets out a sigh of relief as he takes one last glance at the distant Station Square, then lies his head down on his pallet and drifts away in a soothing sleep. And the wind blows while the sun completely sets, and there, Shadow is off to begin his new life.
End of Chapter One
Yea. The next Chapter might not be long either. But, they will get longer soon. I'll post the next one as soon as I have time to write it, but since school is back in and all, it could be a while. X.X
