----- Chapter 2: The Mountains' Secret -----
He had outrun the sunrise somehow. He didn't remember when the velvet of night had transformed
into streaks of radiance and, later, blinding white light. All he knew is that he had
collapsed from exhaustion at the foothills of the great Ice Cap Mountains. All he wanted to
do now was roll over into a blissful sleep, but something was calling him towards the white
giants in the distance. His weariness was subdued by curiosity and he slowly got up to walk
the rest of the way to his summoners.

A single heartbeat stirred the gray water drowning his thoughts. Blue trickled in, just a
tiny stream. Then a long silence. Another heartbeat. This one louder, as if amplified.
More blue water flowed in. Another heartbeat drove through the dead water, and another until
his mind was surrounded by blue. He was alive.
"... Ma- Ma-ri-a..."

Halfway up the giant mountain, Sonic had started to sense a chaos emerald nearby. Having the
ability to transform into Super Sonic with help from all seven of the emeralds must have
given him the ability to sense where they were. But this emerald didn't feel right. Something
was different about it, but he couldn't tell what it was.
His eyes combed the white snow around him. He saw nothing in particular, but one feature
stuck out at him. A snow drift where there weren't any others seemed to beakon for him to
come. He started to make his way toward the drift and immediately regretted doing so. The
snow in front of him sprang up as if alive. A hedgehog with light blue eyes smirked at Sonic.
The hedgehog resembled the dark hero, Shadow, but was dark blue in color instead of black.
The attack came quickly, startling Sonic. The mysterious hedgehog had kicked him right in the
chest. Just as his foot had struck, the dark blue hedgehog had fired his air shoes, singeing
Sonic's blue fur. He fell backwards holding his wound as the other hedgehog pulled out a
chaos emerald.
"Chaos Control!" Shouted the dark blue hedgehog smirking evilly at Sonic. Those words had
sent Sonic into a memory ravin as the unknown hedgehog disappeared within a flash of light.
Sonic stared in awe as the last of the light faded. He shook his head and winced as he stood
up.
"... Ma- Ma-ri-a..."
Sonic's ears twitched catching the sound. He had heard it plain as day; the soft mumble that
escaped the snow drift that had been summoning him. He ran to the mound of snow and began to
dig feverishly. Someone was buried here; someone he knew.
A gloved hand appeared out of the white blanket. Then a sliver of black stabbed through the
white. An arm. If at all possible, Sonic dug faster. The shoulder. The chest. The head.
"Shadow!" Sonic cried as he almost finished removing his friend from the snow. The black
hedgehog was badly injured. So injured, in fact, that a ring of crimson snow surrounded the
black hedgehog's body. It was a good thing that he had landed in the snow; the chill had a
cauterizing effect on all of his wounds. "Hang on, Shadow. I'll get you out of here in a
hurry."
The weariness that had almost taken him over a short while ago was replaced by the
overpowering effect of adrenaline. Sonic ran. This time he wasn't running from nightmares or
the dark. He was running to save a life. The life of his friend.
Sonic cried.

She sifted through the rubble. This was the place her computer, Nicole, had told her to look.
It had been over two hours since she started digging, but she still couldn't find what she
was looking for. She sighed and picked up her computer again.
"Nicole, are you sure this is the right place to find Robotnik's safe?" She asked the
computer looking around. She knew it was, but it was hard to believe. This had been
Robonik's lab once, but Sonic had blown it to smithereens and he almost went with it.
"I am certain of it, Sally. The vault should be right under you, and, if I am Correct,you
have only a little further to go." Nicole answered flashing a diagram on her screen.
"Thank goodness." Sally sighed and started sifting through the rubble again. "This would have
gone a lot faster if Sonic hadn't disappeared this morning."
"You seem worried, Princess."
"Of course I am. It's not like Sonic to just run off without telling someone." Sally
exclaimed moving a large rock to the side. She smiled at the flat, green surface that had
appeared. "Gotcha!"

out better than I thought it would if you ask me.
