Sonic Adventure 3

Chapter 1: Shadow Appears



It was a cold breezy night; it was all calm with crickets chirping. Suddenly, a green light shone in the sky. A dark figure was seen falling. It then seemed like a meteor. It landed near a pond. The crash made a big crater. In it, lay a black hedgehog. He had red stripes on his quills. He held a green Chaos Emerald in his left hand. He breathed heavily as he got up. He looked around and went over to the little pond. He drank some water. After that, he got up and he turned to see a city.

"I guess I'm back...." Shadow said. He skated towards the city with his jet/soap shoes. He run up over to a familiar bridge. "I remember this place. The Golden Gate Bridge. The first time I wanted to take revenge on those who destroyed Maria." He shook his head. "Gerald was wrong." He then heard police behind him.

"Freeze! Put your emerald down and hands up in the air!"

Shadow turned heel and ran away from the car. He jumped onto the bridge.

Stage 1: Radical Highway Shadow

Mission: Loose the Police!

Shadow kept running. He hovered onto part of the bridge. He grinded down it and ran on the spinning road. He finally made it to the Goal Ring.

"Here we go!" said Shadow, doing the same pose in Sonic Adventure 2.

"Heh! Too easy for me!" taunted Shadow.

Shadow ran from his current position. He felt a substance fall onto him. He looked up. It was raining.

"Oh great."

He ran onto a building. He saw another figure there. He seemed familiar.

"Sonic?" Shadow asked. The hedgehog turned around. It wasn't Sonic.

"Shadow, we meet at last!" the hedgehog said. He tossed his Chaos Emerald up and down in his hand.

"So, you're an enemy I take it!"

"You can say that..."

Shadow went into a fighting stance, as did the hedgehog.

-DASH-

"You really think you can defeat me Shadow?" Dash said.

The battle began.

Shadow started by running at Dash. He used a homing attack on Dash. Dash blocked, but he was still off guard. Shadow rolled under him.

"AH!" Dash yelled. "That was nothing!"

Shadow jumped over Dash. Dash turned grinning and he spin dashed Shadow when he landed. Shadow lost some rings. He gathered 5/10 of them and attacked Dash again. He tripped Dash and used homing attack.

"Hmph! You're stronger than I thought!"

Shadow was about to finish Dash. Then, something happened. Dash held out his Chaos Emerald.

"Chaos Control!" He froze Shadow in his spot for a second. Then he said, "Chaos Spear!"

Shadow's eyes went wide as it hit him. The yellow streaks hit Shadow. Shadow was able to move again and he collected a ring.

Shadow threw a punch at Dash's nose and Dash fell.

"Noo.. This can't be."

"Nice try! But I'm the Ultimate Life!" Shadow said, doing his usual pose.

It showed darkness (some of you may remember this from the movie trailer). Flashes. Then you could see the falling rain, but it's still dark. Then you can see Dash. He's kneeling down panting.

Shadow stood 6 feet away from him. After some silence, he said, "Who are you? And how do you know my name and Chaos Control?"

Dash stood up, and wiped the blood from his mouth. He then said.

"My name.... is Dash. I'm the Second Ultimate Life Form."

Shadow flinched. "Second?"

Dash stood there. He held out his emerald, "Chaos Control!" Dash disappeared in a green light. Shadow stood there and stared at where Dash used to be. Then he turned heel and walked away.
