Eternal Darkness

In a flash of white light, it was over. The rebirth of evil has finally come. "There's no turning back now..." He said, "Eggman! You will pay!"

It was all over the news that day.

"So, Eggbelly's finally gone back into his evil, eh?" Sonic asked Tails.

Tails nodded, "Apparently, last night, he broke into the GUN headquarters and stole one the Chaos Emerald being kept there."

"Hm… sounds too much like one of his old schemes… What could he be planning…" As Sonic pondered this, he paced back and forth through the room.

Meanwhile, in an all too familiar laboratory, an evil genius sat in front of a large machine.

"Hm… I don't know what I was thinking… Going back on my evil ways… I'm so glad I finally took that hedgehog's advice and had my head examined!"

When he said this, some robots behind him snickered. "Hm? Will you piles of trash put a lid on it?"

"Butsir. Youcreatedusthereforeyouareinsultingyourownwork."

Dr. Eggman thought this over, "Well then, I guess that means you must think you're smarter than I?"

"Eep! Nosirwewouldn'tdreamofanythinglikethat!"

"Good!"

Dr. Eggman then walked over to the cryptogenic chamber, a capsule used to store things in suspended animation, and pressed a few buttons.

"Wake up, slacker! I have a job for you!"

As the lid on the capsule flew up, mist filled the room. A dark figure could be seen clearly in the mist. Black fur with red streak in it, along with dark spikes coming out from behind. Red eyes fluttered open and looked around. The creature began to move, but quickly stumbled to the ground, gasping for air.

The creature was none other than the assumed dead hero of earth, Shadow the Hedgehog. Dr. Eggman ran over to him and checked him over.

"Grr… Still horribly unstable… I can fix that…" Quickly, Dr. Eggman attached a probe to Shadow's head, who had gone unconscious. An electrical charge was sent into Shadow's body, as the wire was connected to a machine, which could harness the power of the Chaos Emerald and charge it into life energy.

As this happened, Shadow's chest moved up and down, as he breathed in the fresh scent of life. His eyes flew open once more, but instead of looking around, he focused his attention on Dr. Eggman.

"Where… Where am I?" He asked.

"Hm… You are in my laboratory. I rescued you when you fell from space after defeating the Bio-lizard. Do you remember?"

"Yes… It's all coming to me… But how could I have survived…"

"That's what I was going to ask you. In my theory, I believe that the Chaos energy harnessed for the super form to activate allowed you to survive the fall. Either that, or you were able to use one last Chaos Control before you impacted earth, for if my calculations were correct, your impact on earth would have caused a worldwide earthquake."

"Hm… Well, I thank you for saving me… but why?"

"Well, since I saved you, I now should have proper controlling rights over you."

Shadow didn't like this idea one bit, "And I'm supposed to listen to some feeble old man? No thank you… I'm not interested."

"Well then, I might change your mind. I command you to work for me, or…" Dr. Eggman held up a switch, "Or I'll blow the very planet Maria wished for you to help!"

Shadow's confident expression fell, "What do I have to do…"

Dr. Eggman gave his evil cackle, "I knew you'd see it my way, Shadow!"

Sonic yawned, as he lay stretched out on his bed.

Tails walked over to Sonic; "You're tired?"

"Yeah… I think I'll sleep for a week!"

"Why? Wasn't being dead relaxing?"

"You got to remember Tails, I got sent to the wrong place."

"Oh yeah… Did you do something bad?"

"You should know what I did…" Sonic spoke regretfully, half-wishing he never did what he did.

"Oh yeah…" Tails sighed, remembering probably the worst experience in his life. Besides his own death of course.

Just then, an explosion could be heard outside.

"Huh? What the…" Sonic said, leaping into the air.

"It came from down there!" Tails exclaimed, pointing down at the street below.

Sonic the open the window and then used his triangle jump to move downward between the alley. He then flipped off a pole any onto the ground. Weird… I haven't been able to do that in years… Sonic then saw Tails leap from the window and use his tails to propel himself to a stop before hitting the concrete.

They both looked around, for anything that could have caused the explosion when they both saw it. Hanging open their mouths they gawked at what they saw.

A black furred hedgehog stood onto of a huge car wreck and was holding and emerald green chaos Emerald. His red eyes glared down at the two below him.

"What the…" Sonic said.

"Hm... Long time no see, faker," Shadow yelled down to Sonic.

"Faker! Why I oughta…" Sonic snarled.

"Hey Sonic! Look! He has a Chaos Emerald!" Tails shouted.

"Hm… It's surprising enough that you survived, now you're going back to your dark ways?"

Shadow looked down, an odd look on his face. He spoke softly, "I'm sorry... I have no choice… Chaos Spear!" As Shadow commanded, a thousand tiny sparks flew off the emerald straight at Sonic and Tails.

"Tails! Look out!" Sonic yelled, shoving Tails away only to be hit by him, "Argh!"

Shadow smirked as Sonic fell to the ground, "Too easy…"

"Hey! That wasn't nice!" Tails yelled, throwing a rock at Shadow. Direct hit.

"Ow! You little brat. There's no time for games. Farewell!" and with a flash of light he was gone.

Sonic stood up, "Some way to greet those you haven't seen in a while. Has Shadow lost his mind?"

"I don't think so…" Tails turned to Sonic, "Maybe he is being forced to work for someone… like…"

Sonic finished, "Like Dr. Eggman! So, he is back to his old tricks again. Well, we'll just have to show him what we're made of!"

Tails nodded as both ran off to find Eggman.

With a streak of blue light, it was over. The rebirth of evil has finally come. "There's no turning back now..." Sonic said, "Eggman! You will pay!"
