A Shadow of Myself
Chapter 2: Black Illusion
Hi, I'm back! This chapter has a little reference to Sonic Heroes Team Dark beginning. Omega's name will not be mentioned and Shadow, Rouge, and Omega do not form a team. Oh, and by the way, (forgot to say this before) I don't own anyone in this story. Sega does (darn it). On with the story…
Eggman sealed Shadow inside a pod and left his robot in the room after doing some tests. He carefully locked the door and walked away.
Sonic continued to run as fast as he could. He knew he didn't have the ability to wipe away fears and pain, but he tried.
We all danced in fire
Sonic wondered where Shadow was.
Trapped in this machine
He couldn't take it anymore.
Don't know how long we've waited
Eggman might know…
As the Eggman's watching
We all danced in fire, looking through a screen. Don't know how long we've waited, as the Eggman watches…
One week later…
Sonic had not slept in a week and he tried to sleep now. His eyes were bulging and red. Amy walked into Sonic's room. Sonic didn't care anymore, nothing mattered to him after Shadow… He sat straight up and looked straight ahead so Amy sat next to him.
"Sonic?" Amy asked, but there was no response. "Sonic, you can't just run away from your fears and problems,"
Running away from my fears and problems…
Rouge jumped down through the ceiling. She laid her back against the door and looked for enemies. Quickly she turned around and punched in the code. As the door opened she looked at her hand. She smiled and whispered, "This must be it! I've found Eggman's secret treasure!" As she walked up to the pod and typed in a password, a robot stirred. Rouge gasped when the pod opened. The room lit up as the robot shot at the subject from the pod. The subject from the pod and pushed Rouge out of the way, just as a shot missed it.
"Stay here," it said.
"Shadow?" Rouge asked, but Shadow ran away. Shadow triangle jumped on the wall, and the robot missed every shot.
"Must eradicate all Eggman's robots," the robot said as Shadow got closer. Rouge looked at it.
"Huuh?" she asked as Shadow jumped toward the robot's head. "Hey, hold up!" Rouge yelled, stopping the two from killing each other. She took a breath and looked at the room. Everything was destroyed. Rouge looked to the robot. "Now I see it. Now I know what this is all about! You're mad at Eggman for sealing you in this room," she said to him then pointed to Shadow. "And you… you can't remember anything can you?" Shadow looked away, and then looked to the robot.
E- 123… You didn't know, now I'm gonna show you. The power that is me. You try to take me down; stop the show. It seems you never tasted fear, or loss of control. The power lives in me… the power that is me!
The robot walked away and Rouge gestured for Shadow to follow. Shadow didn't know what was going on or who this white bat he was following for that matter. The hall they walked down was dark and Shadow turned to look at Rouge. They stopped walking. "Why did you take me out of there?"
You could've left me here, sealed inside the pod. None would ever know, the Chaos Control… My true identity… the power that is me!
Rouge looked at Shadow in the darkness. "Do you know who I am?" Rouge asked. Shadow shook his head.
"No," Shadow admitted, looking to the ground. Rouge smiled as they got to the end of the hall.
"Don't worry, you'll remember everything," Rouge explained, leading Shadow out of Eggman's base. The sun shone through the clouds. Rouge shielded her eyes and looked around the base. "Nothing. Come on," Rouge said, grabbing Shadow's hand and flying away. Shadow looked to the ground as Rouge flew higher. "I'm Rouge; you're Shadow. I'm a bat; you're a hedgehog. Got that?" Rouge asked, looking at Shadow. He nodded slowly. "I'll explain the rest when we get to Club Rouge," For the rest of the journey, they were both silent. Rouge and Shadow landed and Rouge led Shadow into Club Rouge.
