meant to destroy us all?"
Shadow's Past - CHAPTER 9
Rouge was stood in the doorway, throwing an object into the air and catching it.
"It looks like you need some help Shadow." Rouge said. "Here, take this."
She took the bottle that she was throwing and walked towards Shadow. She poured some of the contents onto Shadow's head. Shadow burned inside, but couldn't move.
At least that's what he thought...
"Get up." commanded Rouge. "I said, Get Up!"
"I can't." groaned Shadow.
"Have you tried?"
Shadow thought for a moment, then tried to move his arm. It was a little stiff, but it moved. Shadow looked up at the bat. He smiled for the first time in his life. Rouge was pleased to see this.
"Come on," she said, "We have a prototype to stop!"
Shadow got up. He turned and saw Knuckles helping Tails up. He saw the tears on Tails' face.
"Come on!"
Shadow looked at Rouge, turned towards Tails again, then turned back and followed Rouge to the corridoor.
They met Tails and Knuckles a short while after. Tails was still sad. Everyone started to follow Rouge down the corridoor.
"According to Tails' radar," Rouge started, "It looks like she's moving towards the main core of the colony. I think that the other prototype is there. We need to get there before her and stop her."
"How do we stop her?" Asked Knuckles.
The heroes went silent for a moment, then someone spoke.
"Leave that to me..."
Shadow stood with the glint in his eye as he had when he first smiled. "I am the Ultimate Life Form. I can stop any prototype."
"Okay then...let's go! Tails?"
Tails was sat leaning on the wall of the corridoor holding a piece of paper. It was the collection of symbols from the disk that Rouge had found. He started muttering to himself, writing on the sheet as he spoke.
"First the Pink Light, borne upon the world, shall stun the foe. Then, once the White Light has been freed from its prison, the two shall destroy the foe when they run into the trap...Rouge, we can't go in there."
"Why?"
"It's a trap."
"What?"
"As soon as the other prototype is freed a trap is set that will let them...kill us."
The group looked at eachother. The seconds felt like minutes. Then a strange moaning sound was heard from beneath the floor.
"The radar shows another person on the floor below us."
"But the core is on this floor...down there is...the loading bay."
The heroes decided to investigate this, and made their way to the loading bay.
What they saw shocked everybody there...
