Sonic adventure 2: A shadow's memory
Chapter 14 - Performance to save the world
Performance and cocktails
The two hedgehogs appeared outside Ark. Big had found a camera and has aimed it at the fight scene. He transmitted the video to GUN who put it on every television on Earth. The people watched on as the gold and the silver hedgehog began fighting the Biolizard, who was pulling Ark to Earth. The blown up cannon was stuck in the Biolizard's behind. Shadow returned to the colony to gather rings as rings topped up their chaos energy, which slowly drained in their super form. The two hedgehogs kept swapping places; one would fight while the other topped up his rings.
Boss: Finalhazard (Super Sonic & Super Shadow)
Ark crept closer to Earth. The two hedgehogs fought on bravely but the Biolizard was still very powerful. The friction caused intense heat, which led to flames appearing around the hedgehogs. As time wore on Sonic began to get concerned about Shadow. It was clear that shadow couldn't keep up.
"Hey shadow be careful. Too much use of your super form will cause you to disappear. Get back to the colony now", Said Super Sonic.
"Maria watch me I w ill fulfil your wish", Said Super Shadow.
"Shadow your power is getting weaker. Hey are you OK?" asked Super Sonic.
"Don't worry about me Sonic, just concentrate on beating the Biolizard", Said Super shadow.
"Guys hurry up, the colony will enter Earth's atmosphere in 3 minutes. After that you won't be able to stop it", Said Eggman.
"You can do it guys", Said Rouge
"Don't forget about your rings you two, you can't survive in space in your normal forms", Said Amy.
"2 minutes left guys", Said Knuckles.
"Come on Sonic, hurry up", Said Tails.
"Hey Sonic, the more I think about it, the more it becomes apparent. I'm not the Ultimate lifeform. But I think you might be", Said Shadow, "You are like me but better", Said Super Shadow.
"This is not the time Shadow. This is it; we've been hitting him for ages. One last dive. It must be", Said Super Sonic making his last dive. The Biolizard screamed as it stopped moving.
"Huh, did you really think you had a chance", Said Super Sonic.
"I must destroy all the evil the professor has created", Said Super Shadow. But Ark was still falling to Earth. They got between the Earth and Ark.
"There's no way that's getting through", Said Super Sonic. Super Shadow followed but struggled to keep up. He began to hear my voice cheering him on; he began to remember his promise. He caught up with Super Sonic.
"Ready when you are Sonic", Said Super Shadow.
"Now Shadow", Said Sonic.
"CHAOS CONTROL", they both said simultaneously. The Ark was surrounded by a huge Gold Aura. Time seemed to slow down as the Ark disappeared.
"Sonic, I'm not going to make it. For years I have regretted watching my friends die to save me. I won't let the same thing happen to you. Goodbye Sonic, perhaps in death my suffering will end", Said Super Shadow.
"Shadow, no. You're the first possible link to my origins I've ever had", Said Super Sonic.
"I'm sorry Sonic. I am the cause of all this suffering. I kept my promise to Maria, and my time has passed. I don't belong here, I never have. The people will be better of without me", Said Super Shadow.
"But I need you", Said Super Sonic.
"Funny, I said the same thing to Maria before she saved me. Sonic I want you and your good heart to live on. No matter what happens do not let the mistakes of the past control your life. If you need definition look towards your feelings, not you're previous actions. Goodbye Sonic. Chaos control", Said Super Shadow using the last of his power to warp Sonic back to Ark. Sonic grabbed Shadow's Arm as he was pushed away into the aura, he managed to pull off one of shadows bracelets before being warped to Ark.
"Maria this is what you wanted right, this is my promise I made to you. And now that it is complete I can finally rest in piece", Said Super Shadow who fell to Earth and in a quick purple flash disappeared.
Sonic arrived back on Ark, in his normal form and banged on the wall.
"SHADOW!" he screamed.
Back on Earth the people rejoiced, their world had been saved by the heroic deeds of the two hedgehogs. Celebrations lasted throughout the night and happiness and peace was restored to the world. As it was before all this happened.
The door to the observatory slowly opened and Sonic appeared. The others turned to Sonic.
"Where's Shadow?" asked Rouge. Sonic bowed his head and walked to the window of the observatory. Rouge Followed.
"Do you really think Shadow was the Ultimate lifeform. The one created by Gerald to carry out his revenge?" asked Rouge.
"He was what he was, a brave and heroic hedgehog. Who in the end gave everything to save the planet", Said Sonic.
"I guess your right. I suppose we shouldn't define someone on why they were created, or where they came from. But on how they lived their life", Said Rouge.
"As a boy I admired my grandfather for all the great things he accomplished. He was my hero and I wanted to be a great scientist just like him. But did he really mean to destroy us?" asked Eggman.
"I dunno, but what I do know is that we all worked together and managed to do something more incredible than Gerald. We saved the world", Said Tails.
"Yeah, I guess you're right", Said Eggman.
"So what's next for you Rouge, off again to get those jewels you love so much", Said Knuckles.
"Nah, I think I'm going to give up this type of work, too little work for too little pay", Said Rouge, "Besides I have something better than jewels on my mind now. Don't worry about me I'll be fine".
"If you say so", Said Knuckles.
"Created? The ultimate lifeform?" said Sonic.
"What's the matter sonic?" asked Amy.
"Oh it's nothing, come on lets go home. To the planet that's as cool and blue as me", Said Sonic.
"We can use my transporter, follow me", Said Eggman leading the others out. Before Sonic left he looked back and simply said,
"Sayanora, Shadow the Hedgehog".
GUN gave one last message to Big the Cat.
"Well done agents, you have saved the world. When you come back home there will be a medal for both of you", Said GUN over the radio.
"I just want Froggy back", Said Big. The others left the observatory, "Hey guys wait for me".
"Big?" asked Tails puzzled.
"That's right, I hope you get your friend back from GUN. Doctor can you set the co-ordinates to send us to Prison Island", Said Rouge.
"No problem", Said Eggman. Rouge and Big stood on the transporter and disappeared.
"Now send me to Angel Island", Said Knuckles, "I've got an island to raise".
"Ok Knuckles", Said Eggman. Knuckles was sent to Angel Island with the transporter.
"That just leaves us three. Eggman we'll send you to your base and then we'll use the transporter to go to my workshop", Said Tails.
"What don't you trust me?" asked Eggman.
"No", Said Sonic pushing Eggman into the transporter. Tails turned it on and sent Eggman to his base.
"Boy that felt good", Said Sonic Smiling.
"Do you think Eggman is going to be good from now on?" asked Tails.
"I don't think so, this is Eggman we're talking about. He'll have a new scheme that we'll have to stop soon enough. Now lets go home", Said Sonic. The two stood on the transporter and sent themselves to Tails' Mystic Ruins Workshop.
Ark remained as empty as it was before all this happened. The empty vessel just floated in space orbiting around Earth. Earth was saved once more and the adventure was over.
