Chapter 3

I looked at him and smiled. "Shadow-kun…" I started. He looked at me and huffed a response. "Can you break these bars?"

He blinked and looked at the bars. If there was one thing you didn't want to cross was the ultimate life-form turned dragon. He glared at them and took a deep breath. He suddenly shot fire at the bars, melting them and then he rammed into them. It was like putting a knife to butter. Right through. I followed behind him and opened the door.

Out side of the door stood police officers and our mad scientist kidnapper in handcuffs. I blinked and closed the door softly, as they hadn't noticed me.

"Oi… we can't sneak through this way… urk!" a crashing noise erupted behind me and I looked to see Shadow, cracking down the wall. "Fucking holy shit!!" I screamed.

He looked at me sideways as if to smirk and then tilted his head toward the hole. I nodded and made my way over. Gods, was I ever scared of him at this moment. He had some power. Outside was starry and the moon was still out.

"Damn… I thought it was morning.." I said quietly. I stepped out and looked around. "Shadow… we have to find you the antidote…" I faced him and hugged his muzzle. "Lets go see Tails or something…"

He nuzzled me and flapped his wings. 'Sonic… I want to fly…' A voice suddenly said in my mind.

"Fly?" I asked. He nodded and flapped his wings again. I nodded. "but I can't sit on your back! Your scales are sharp!"

Worry shot through his eyes. He didn't want to hurt me. He looked around and found a blanket in the now demolished lab. He threw it across his back and lay down. I laughed.

"You really want me to ride you?" I smirked. He looked at me as if to say 'up yours' I laughed again. "Fine." I smiled. "I'll ride your back."

He snorted and I grabbed the base of his leathery wing, pulling myself up and onto his back, just between the wings. It was like sitting in a hard chair. "ok… I'm ready…"

He nodded and flapped his new formed wings, lifting himself in the air. "I swear Shadow-kun… you are incredible.." He snorted again in laughter and lifted higher into the sky now. I gasped a little and held on….

Holding to Tails' hands was one thing…

A dragon is a different story…

He could feel me grip a bit tighter and flew decreased the altitude a bit, soaring through low, floating clouds. I smiled. Its so much different than Tails. No offense to him though… but this was quicker. I stroked his neck a bit, trying not to cut myself on his scales.

It took no time to get to the mystic ruins. He landed on the runway cover-up near Tails' house and workshop. I slid from his back and patted his muzzle again, kissing it and smiling. "I'll be back Shadow-kun…" I said as I walked to the door.

I opened the door softly and looked in to see Tails, Knuckles, Rouge, Amy Rose and Cream. Cream immediately pointed. "Sonniku-san!!" she cried with glee.

Tails looked over and his face brightened. "Sonic! Where have you been!?!" He ran up to me and glomped me.

"Kidnapped…" I admitted. I looked at their shocked faces. "And that's not all…" I motioned for them to follow me. Leading them to where Shadow lay waiting I took a deep breath. "Just look what they did to Shadow."

Amy fainted dead away. Knuckles caught her but his eyes were wide. Rouge looked slightly horrified and Tails was wan as anything. He quivered a little in fear.

I sweatdropped. "Its okay really… but… Tails, buddy you need to help!" I said urgently. He blinked and gulped, his face utterly colorless.

I knelt down in front of him and grabbed his shoulders. "Shadow's been injected with dragon venom.." I stated. He looked at me.

"It reacted with his blood didn't it…" He asked quietly. I nodded.

"I think so…" I said quietly. Shadow spread his wings out and tended to them again. Amy was laid on the ground and Knuckles sat cross-legged next to her.

"The antidote is what you need huh?" He asked. I nodded. He stood. "I know where you can get it… but its not easy…"

Ooh! How does Knuckles know where the antidote is? Will Shadow ever be normal again? Will I stop asking rhetorical questions? WILL SOME ONE BOX ME!? Ahh well… anyway…I'll get the next chapter up asap… im having people over tomorrow and won't be able to write… so… enjoy this now hehe.. 3
