Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory
Chapter 13 - I stopped to prove I'm the ultimate
I stopped the fill my car up
Eggman, Rouge and Tails went to Sonic's Aid; Amy paced outside the observatory.
"Oh why do they always leave me behind. I want to help to", Said Amy. Big fell from the ceiling and began running up and down panicking. What am I going to do? I have to get back down there to report but I'm not fast enough. Amy watched on but just ignored Big, There was bigger questions to be answered such as what will she do to help everybody save Earth?
"ARGH! What am I going to do?" said big over and over again. Amy looked over at Shadow who was looking down at Earth.
"Look it's Shadow. I really must stop whining Everyone is trying their best to help out ad so must I", Said Amy confidently, but as she approached Shadow she slowed down from fear.
"Do not worry, I will not hurt you. You have a kind heart, you sort of remind me of Maria", Said Shadow, "And besides it's a waste of energy, Soon we will all be dead. That's what she wanted"
"Come on Shadow you have to help us. People should not have to pay for the mistakes of the past", Said Amy.
"Maria and I stood in these very spots just before the Soldiers arrived on Ark. We would often ask each other what it would be like on Earth. We would often talk about a paradise, with no war, no hatred, and everyone was happy. But then GUN attacked us. Our perspectives changed. She got shot and her dying wish was for me to avenge her death. That's all that matters to me now. The promise I made to her", Said Shadow, "Everything is going according to plan, there's no reason for me to help anybody. It'll all be over soon, even if Sonic and Knuckles somehow managed to beat that beast there won't be much time if any to stop Ark".
"I believe in them, they can do it. I understand why you are doing this but you can't hold everyone responsible for Maria's Death. That's what Gerald did and it made him the greatest villain the world has ever known, next to Eggman. I know that people can be stupid and selfish but my experience has shown that people are generally good. Please shadow GIVE THEM A CHANCE…" Said Amy. Shadow ignored the rest of Amy's speech as those words rang through his head like a church bell. It triggered of another flashback of my death
"Maria", Said Shadow inside the Escape pod.
"Shadow I'm not going to make it. So listen to me. The military's actions cannot define the feelings of Earth. Those people down there are not to blame. Make sure you do everything you can to make those people happy. Grandpa created you to help the people and I want you to do that", I said.
"Maria, let me out. I need you. You are the only thing that matters to me", Said Shadow.
"Shadow, do it for me, for a better future. Give them a chance to be happy, let them live for their dreams. Make them as happy as you made me. Shadow I know you can do it, that's the reason you were brought into this world. Promise me", I said.
"I…I..I promise", Said Shadow. I pressed the button and sent him to Earth.
"Sayanora Shadow the Hedgehog", I said.
"MARIA!!!" Screamed Shadow as he descended to Earth.
Shadow looked down at Earth. Oh how could I have been so stupid? For you Maria. I will stop Ark from crashing into Earth. A tear dropped down Shadow's Cheek as he turned to Amy with a face of determination.
"Shadow?" said Amy puzzled at Shadow's actions.
"I have to go now. I have to keep my promise to Maria, And you", Said Shadow, running to the Core.
Shadow Arrived as Sonic and Knuckles got up from being knocked down by the Biolizard. He caught up with Eggman and the others and told them to go back to the observatory.
"But Shadow?" Asked Tails.
"Just go. I have a score to settle with this beast. I will prove I'm the ultimate lifeform", Said Shadow descending to the arena.
"He's just to strong, We'll have to fight him", Said Knuckles.
"But if we fight him we may not have enough time to stop Ark", Said Sonic.
"Don't worry guys leave this one to me", Said Shadow.
"SHADOW, AIM FOR THE LIFE SUPPORT MACHINE, IT MAY BE A WEAK SPOT", Said Eggman in the distance.
"Got you doctor. I'll take care of this while you stop the Chaos Energy", Said Shadow.
"Good luck Shadow", Said Sonic running past the Biolizard.
"You! Listen good. You are nothing but a prototype; I'm the Ultimate lifeform and I'm going to destroy you, you abomination", Said Shadow.
Boss: Biolizard (Shadow)
"Get out you ugly prototype", Said Shadow.
The Biolizard lay on the floor in agony. The Life support machine had blown up. The Biolizard had been defeated. Sonic and Knuckles reached the shrine. Knuckles planted the Emerald on a spot designated for the Master Emerald. He placed his hand on top of the Emerald and began chanting.
"The servers are the seven chaos, chaos is power, power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the chaos", Said Knuckles, "Oh controller you have to help us, stop the chaos emeralds". There were some intense flashes of light as the Chaos Emeralds glow faded. The Ark began to slow down. Everyone cheered as Shadow reached the shrine.
"Nice work Sonic", Said Shadow, "You too Knuckles".
"You didn't do so badly yourself, faker". Said Sonic smiling, "Only joking. Now to get back home…"
Suddenly the Biolizard got up and roared before disappearing in a Flash of light.
"Oh no, is that what Chaos Control is?" asked Shadow.
"The prototype is still alive and is controlling the colony as we speak. He's become one with the colony and is determined to keep it on it's collision course", Said Eggman over the PA system, which Echoed through the large hall. Sonic looked around him and saw the seven chaos emeralds. He stood back confidently.
"Sonic? Have you got a plan?" asked Knuckles. Sonic turned to Shadow.
"Have you ever gone Super before?" asked Sonic.
"Oh I see. But it has been a while", Said Shadow smiling.
"Then let's do it. Lets become super", Said Sonic.
When Sonic uses the even Chaos Emeralds he can absorb its power to become an invincible yellow hedgehog called Super Sonic. He becomes faster and stronger and his spikes begin to look like flames. Recently he discovered how he could use feelings to use half of this power to obtain the same effect. So if he used the positive energy and Shadow used the Negative energy then they could both become Super hedgehogs. Providing Shadow could turn Super.
The seven emeralds soon surrounded the two hedgehogs. They concentrated on their feelings while absorbing the Chaos Energy. In a flash of light they disappeared, Knuckles looked on shocked but at the same time relieved. He had witnessed Super Sonic's power before and so knew how powerful it was.
