Ultimate Chaos Control: Prologue
Outside Space Colony ARK
Atmospheric Entry: 59 seconds
"We actually did it" Shadow thought in triumph. Even with Sonic's help defeating FinalHazard was harder than it looked. His white fur was singed in several places due to the lasers emitted from the beast. He didn't feel them even though he was extremely tired.
Out of the corner of his eye while he was looking at the ARK that was currently burning through Earth's atmosphere he saw Sonic shout, "No way that's getting through!" At that moment a memory of Maria replayed through Shadow's mind as he looked towards Earth. It was when he was shot from the ARK in an escape pod so many years ago. "Shadow!?" said Maria who was grasping her chest from a wound. "Give them all a chance to be happy."
Escaping back to reality Shadow responded in his mind, "I will Maria." Both of the hedgehogs were close to the ARK Sonic yelled the warning, "Now Shadow!" Shadow looked into the eyes of his partner as they raised their hands above their heads. Chaos energy flowing from their bodies and into their hands. The two super forms screamed in unison, "CHAOS CONTROL!!!"
An aurora of green light surrounded both hedgehogs and the ARK. With a bright flash of light the ARK was in its original orbit. Sonic yelled in triumph "Yeah, we did it Shadow!" Upon hearing no response Sonic looked for his friend and only found Shadow's fire bracelet. "Oh no."
* * *
"Damn it," Shadow screamed aloud into the void of space as he was falling thorough Earth's atmosphere. He didn't have enough energy to warp himself along with the ARK. Then he thought of Maria, "Maria this is what you wanted right? This is my promise I made to you."
He tilted his head back to view the Earth one last time. Awed by the beauty he closed his eyes and thought of Maria once more. After a moment he let the darkness take him and he fell faster toward Earth as the power of his Super form dissipated. "Maria, I'm coming." And in a flash of bright light he disappeared.

Aboard Space Colony ARK
Sonic walked toward the control room grieving for the friend that died and he could do nothing to help him. As he approached the door it opened automatically. Everyone's eyes turned towards him as he walked through the door.
Rouge was the one who broke the silence that seemed to last an eternity. Even thought she knew the answer she asked anyway, "Sonic where's Shadow?"
A wave of sadness passed over Sonic's eyes as he looked down and shook his head. "He didn't make it!" he said trying to hold back his tears. He walked toward Rouge and handed her Shadow's bracelet.
Rouge's eyes began to water as she took the bracelet from him, "Sonic, do you think the Professor created him," She paused to wipe the tears from her eyes. Rouge continued, "Shadow to carry out his revenge for all those living on Earth?"
Sonic took a deep breath and looked in her eyes, "I'm not sure, but he was what he was a brave and heroic hedgehog who gave his life for this planet."
"I guess your right," she responded as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Eggman and Tails were talking by one of the view ports of the command station. "As a child I always looked up to my grandfather for all the things he accomplished." His face brightened at the memory, "He was my hero, and I wanted to be a great scientist like him." Then he remembered what his grandfather had created the station for by what he read from the G.U.N. reports, the BioHazard, and the FinalHazard, "But did he really mean to destroy is?"
Tails thought about the question for a moment and reconciled on the adventure, "I don't know, but one thing is for sure. We all did it together!"
Eggman smiled, it was the first true smile shown in a very long time, "Your right."

Rogue was looking at Earth through one of the view ports, her thoughts were elsewhere, when Knuckles walked up to her. "So Rouge, going off again to find those jewels that you love so much?" He asked as he looked at her and the Earth.
She thought for a moment, "No, I'm going to take a break for awhile. Because it' to much hard work for to little pay." She turned to face him and looked in his eyes, "Besides I have something better on my mind than jewels right now." She paused to look away then continued, "It'll all work out, you'll see."
It took Knuckles a few seconds to figure her point and then responded, "Whatever you say."
* * *
Sonic was looking at Earth shedding tears and grieving for his lost friend. "Shadow, The ultimate life form," he whispered to himself.
Amy walked up behind him and leaned down so she could see Sonics reflection in the viewport. She asked in her always cheery mood, "What's wrong Sonic?"
He wiped away his tears and turned to look at her. "Oh, it's nothing. Let's go home to the planet that's as cool and blue as me."
They all walked out of the control room but Sonic stayed a few moments and started to leave. Before he crossed the threshold of the room he looked over his shoulder and said as a tear rolled down his cheek, "Sayonara. Shadow the Hedgehog." He waved his hand then looked forward and left the room on which he hoped he would never see again.
