At last! I now unveil...the PLOT!
Gotcha. You have to read to find the plot, i'm not spoiling it for you!
I own nothing from the Sonic games.
I don't even own ANY Sonic games, or even a Playstation.
Why are you still reading the complaints of an author with no Playstation?
Read the fic! Go on. Read it!

I woke up feeling more energized. My only really serious injury was a second degree

burn on my side. What had awoken me? "Search the entire area. We must retrieve Project

Shadow at any cost." GUN. The people that attacked ARK, that killed Maria! They were

after me, even now! And I don't have the energy to Chaos Control! They haven't come near

my bush yet but they will. I crept out of it as quietly as I could. No one's

looking…almost there… "There it is!" No! I ran. I don't have the energy to fight them. I

dashed, an ebony blur chased by a horde of tanks. Going through the city. "Don't let it

get away!" I'm not an it, stop chasing me! The burn in my side is slowing me down. Then

it happens. The lead tank fires, and it hits. Oh, I'm not dead, not by a long shot! But

the blast does cause me to trip and fall. I get up, and try to find escape. No way out,

I'm dead…then I remember the Emerald. This will probably hurt… "Chaos Control!" I

concentrate, and teleport. Not too far, I don't have the energy. But far enough. I'm on a

rooftop, and I can barely crawl into a corner to hide as I pass out from exhaustion again…







I woke up. It's night. The night feels cold, but why am I not cold? Someone put a

blanket over me…someone found me! I open one eye carefully. I'm still on the roof, so it

couldn't be GUN. I see a figure. A hedgehog? He's not paying attention to me. I slip

from under the blanket and hide behind a pipe. He turns to see the noise. "Great, he's

gone…" he says it mournfully as he wanders over. He's holding something. A bracelet… It's

one of mine! The one I lost when Sonic…I step out of my hiding place. "Sonic?" He turns

to me. Blue fur, green eyes - definitely him. "Shadow? I thought you'd run off." He's

looking a little strange. Then, he just grabs me and cries. "I thought you were dead! I

thought I did you in…" I blink. 'He's been blaming himself?' Then I cry out as he

accidentally squeezes my burn. "Ah! It hurts!" He backs off as I examine the very tender

area. "That's one heck of a burn!" "Yes, falling through the atmosphere can do that."

Sonic hands me back my bracelet, and I slip it on. "What happened? Why aren't you dead?"

"I managed one last Chaos Control," I said with a smirk as I held up my Emerald. "So that's

where the last one went. When we left ARK, we only counted six. Knuckles was on Rouge's

case about it for days." "How did you find me?" "Well, the thing that tipped me off was

the reports that tanks had been seen chasing 'what appeared to be a black hedgehog going

Mach One.' So I was coming to check it out when I saw a familiar little flash of light.

And there I found you." Sonic smiled. "So, why are tanks chasing you?" I frowned. "They

were from GUN. They were at the spot I woke up in earlier, looking for me." A drone of a

helicopter interrupted my story. "This is just a hunch, but I suggest moving." Sonic

grabbed me by the arm and held a Chaos Emerald in his other hand. "Snuck it when Tail's

back was turned," he said with a grin. "Hang on!" He concentrated. "Chaos Control!" We

disappeared.

Ooh, a cliffhanger! (Not really.)
I probably messed up in there somewhere, so if someone sees a mistake and tells me, i'd greatly appriciate it.
R&R!
