Chapter: 1.
Heroes Diary.
Earth II. The planet filled with two races. Homo sapiens, and Mobo sapiens, each lived in peace and prosperity. Nothing had been a plague to this planet for the last ten years. Nothing had been a curse; nothing had come to destroy their lives. For Doctor Robotnik, was dead. His killer was not the blue hedgehog that everyone praised, for he had died a few years earlier by an overload of Chaos Energy brought on by the eighth Chaos Emerald invented by Robotnik. Robotnik's killer was another hedgehog, this one was known as Shadow, him and a group of eight other Freedom Fighters stormed Robotnik's castle, and with no mercy in his eyes. Shadow destroyed Robotnik by giving him the Chaos Energy he always wanted. The overload was too much and Robotnik exploded, his castle fell and the most of the nine heroes left for there home. The next five years were used to rebuild the city of Station Square and Knothole village. Inside a certain flat, a black hedgehog is seen through his window, with a notebook and a pen in his hand. Shadow the hedgehog, is his name, and as the sun drops behind the shadow of clouds. He turns to the front of his notebook, where a picture of his mentor is shown with his friends. He opens the book and reads the first few pages for the first time since he had ever written it.

"These words I write, they must be kept here. I do not know how long peace will last, but I only know that I have achieved it for a time at least... fourteen years ago, my friend and mentor Sonic the Hedgehog, died by trying to harness the secrets of the eighth Chaos Emerald. He died after five minutes of transforming Super Sonic. It turned out that this Emerald was useful for ageing people, in five minutes Sonic was older than death itself. He turned to dust before our eyes, and the Chaos Emerald exploded. On August the second, ten years ago, we were free from Robotnik. I lead the armed force of nine to infiltrate and destroy the enemy of Mother Nature. It was me, Shadow, the speed of the group. My mission was to attract armed forces. Then there was Knuckles, who would be our muscle along with Mighty. Then there would be the technical wizards, Tails and Rotor. Along with them there was Amy who was to be our ninja in the shadows, for that is what she now is, a person who hides in the shadows attracting danger to her. Rouge was our treasure hunter, as always. Her mission was to find the seven Chaos Emeralds feeding energy to the shield where Robotnik lay hidden. That is seven; the Master Emerald was split, and given to the new residents of the Freedom Fighters in Knothole, the other half was left on the Floating Island, where we all lived at that time, since no where else was safe. Another member of our group was a green hedgehog that is now missing to us in this day. His name was Ashura. He claimed to be Sonics brother, but it turned out that he was just a clone. After Robotnik was done with, he left and never came back. The other was a reformed Metal Sonic; he is still with us today, only... no longer fully alive. But he was a great asset and spy. Once we stormed Robotnik's castle, it took us 3 days to destroy Robotnik. When we left the castle though. We had lost four of our group. Rotor had been shot in the back by a S.W.A.T bot that has broken through Mighty and Knuckles' defences. Tails destroyed the robot. The next was Rouge; after Robotnik's shields were down she came across Robotnik's number one weapon; Mecha Knuckles. As near as we could tell, Rouge ran to M. Knuckles thinking that it was her beloved Knuckles, she was found on a wall with two spikes sticking through her stomach holding her to the wall. The word "HELP" was smeared on the wall in blood. The third death was Mighty, he broke his hand smashing a S.W.A.T bot, and he was then dragged far away and was found a week later with all his organs torn out of him. The last was Metal Sonic; Shadow had been shot in the leg and was left on the floor with Robotnik holding a gun to his head. Then Metal Sonic turned on his master then and there and destroyed the gun. Ten minutes later he was in a life and death struggle with Mecha Knuckles, he was easily overpowered, but he didn't die by Mecha Knuckles, he destroyed himself. Taking the Red robot with him. When we left the castle, we spent a 7-days search finding Rouge and Mighty. We couldn't find Mecha Sonics signal but we did found his blue helmet and Metal Knuckles' dreadlocks. We buried the dead, and destroyed the tower. Three days later, Ashura was gone. Leaving a note, which said these very words, "I'll come when he comes." We didn't understand. But we waited, and we still are...
Shadow the Hedgehog: 31ST OCTOBER. 3137."

Shadow closed the book slowly; he stared at the window and walked slowly to bed. As he closed his eyes he heard the rain patter against the window, and the noise of thunder further off. "Look's like a storm..." He muttered, and fell into a dreamful sleep.
*** Two miles out of West of Shadows home, a pink hedgehog with a blue umbrella runs to her new car. "Destroying Robotnik always came with its share of treasures..." She always said, and she was right. Amy was now a famous actress, the only one of the Freedom Fighters to actually achieve a lot. The others just decided to live on with their lives in peace. Amy was always different. She loved attention. Anyway, as she opened the car door, she heard footsteps. She slowly turned, and stared at the hedgehog hidden in the shadows staring at her. "Shadow? You never come out. Especially at night!" She pointed out. The hedgehog didn't respond, instead he walked into the light and pulled back his raincoat. "I am not Shadow, Amy." The hedgehog hissed.
