Chapter One: Sonic Adventure 2's Epilogue

The world was in danger, they had come together not only to save IT, but their own necks as well. That's the only reason that Dr. Eggman tossed in his hand. What good was it to have an Empire when there wasn't a planet to host it, or an emperor to rule it? The others by heroic duty decided to pitch in to save their world, island, or keep a promise. Despite the best efforts of them all seven, it had come down to the unique powers of two.
The battle was fierce as the two super-charged hedgehogs took on the monstrosity that was the Bio-Lizard. It used a myriad of weapons at its disposal. But, it could never stop the streak of Gold or the one of Silver.
Ultimately, the Final Hazard had breathed its last breath. Now in order to save the world Super-Sonic and Super-Shadow found it necessary to use the power of Chaos Control. Though the two had been careful to monitor their Ring Energy, Shadow had accidentally allowed his to become too low. He didn't dare tell Sonic, he knew that Sonic would try to be too much the hero and put his life in jeopardy. That's something Shadow could never live with doing again, costing someone else his or HER life for his own. So, when they began to teleport the immense Space Colony, Shadow channeled all of his efforts into moving the colony, not once thinking of himself. He got what he wanted. The colony and Sonic vanished and reappeared in orbit safely. Shadow on the other hand, not knowing his fate for sure, resigned himself to a fiery death. Uttering, what he felt would be his last words to his only friend, whom he was sure to join soon. "Maria, this is what you wanted right? This is my promise I made to you." No sooner than he closed his mouth, than he had to close his eyes as the intense heat from re-entry began to engulf him.

From the world below, a child could make out a shooting star. The little girl stood at the edge of the forest with an even smaller companion. "Look Cheese," Cream said, motioning at the descending heavenly body, "a wishing star!" "Chao chao chao," was the only thing the little Chao could say. "I hope both our wishes come true too," she said with a big smile down to her little friend.

As he continued to streak through the atmosphere, Shadow held his eyes shut. Oddly enough, though, he could only feel the heat on his eyes. As for his body, apparently, his super form was preventing him from being burned away. If he could look, Shadow could see that his silver-white skin was gradually fading back to black. Fortunately, it didn't quite return to normal until he had passed through the atmosphere and was now streaking through the sky heading for a heavily forested region somewhere in the world. Still keeping his eyes closed, Shadow didn't see that he was about to start skimming the top of some trees.
When the branches began to beat against him, he kept his eyes closed against this new threat. Thanks to his remaining super powers, the slowing of his descent because of the trees, and Professor Gerald's ingenious biogenetic engineering design, Shadow continued to survive. He survived right up until he crashed through the trees and eventually into the ground. And, as a testament to a madman's genius, he continued to live after it was said and over with. But, he survived, just barely, and was just as much alive.
He lay there, breathing shallow, pain beginning to cover his body. Shadow managed to open his eyes now. All he could see was that it was dark, most likely night, and saw nothing but blobs of brown and green. Giving up on trying to move or realize where he was, he allowed himself to pass into a deep, restful sleep. In his sleep, he retreated into the blissful ignorance of dreams and coma. There, he could visit Maria. And that's how he passed his time for a while.

This space is reserved for my "Sonic Shout-outs!" Here, I pay respects to my past reviewers. Since there's so few, I figured, "Everybody just gets one." So, today's lucky 'shout-out' goes to:
Shadow4ever!!
Just want to say thanks to the only vocal reader to my failed "Chronic Pains" series. Thanks, bud, I'm glad you followed my Sonic/History crossover so diligently. And I hope you're still keeping up with my latest fan fictions, which have so far, proved much more popular!
Well, that's it for today, until tomorrow: SONIC FANS UNITE!!
