Ho hum. Not much happening here, cept that this is the LAST CHAPTER!
It might be, or I might find a way to extend it a few more.
If people give me suggestions, I will be able to extend this thing a bit longer.
But if no one says anything...well, i'm gonna cut it off.
I ownth not Sonic.
I ownth Cross. I half ownth Crozz (like the 's' is a hiss) since he is half Cross and half Shadow, whom I don't ownth.
I think I may have a lisp. Or not, whatever. I'm just rambling now.
Read on, and keep in mind I'll take anything, even flames.
I will be personally mocking those flames, but hey, at least i'll read em!



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~










We reappeared on the floating land known as Angel Island. We had decided to take

the Master Emerald as well as the Chaos Emeralds, but blocking our path were three people.

We knew them all, and balanced ourself in front of them. "Hello Knucklez, Tailz, and

Zonic." "What do you want, Cross." "Want? Well, we only came for the Emeraldz, but now we

think a nize fight might be good to pazz the time." Sonic spoke. "Listen to yourself.

'We'? There's only one of you." "We are one." "And who is we?" "We are Crozz, the

Zupreme Life Form." Tails spoke next. "Cross is only one part of you. Who is the other

part?" The other part? We were Cross, there was no other part. We closed our eyes to try

and figure out what the fox meant. A second part… "Do you mean the zcreamer?" "The what?"

"The zcreamer. It zcreams in the back of our mind. We do not underztand thiz." Knuckles

and Sonic paled, but Tails nodded knowingly. "That is your other part. Do you know who he

is?" We thought hard. As we thought, the Emerald in our claw glowed softly, throwing light

in the shadows. The shadows…the thought triggered an explosion in our head, and we cried

out as we collapsed. We heard a tiny voice whisper through our mouth, "Help…me…" before we

saw nothing.







"He's in there, but Cross is suppressing him!"



Where did these voices come from?



"Get him inside, before he wakes up!"



What is going on?



Help me, I can't hold him!



What is this that keeps us in this place?



We rallied ourself and took back our body.






We raised our head and saw we were in an open place. They were doing something, but

we couldn't see what it was. We saw six Chaos Emeralds in a ring around us and the Master

Emerald on a pedestal in front of us. In our claws we felt our Chaos Emerald. "What iz

thiz?" We cry and we see Sonic in between ourself and the Master Emerald. "This is for

your own good. Do it!" He says, and all seven Emeralds glow brightly. So does the Master

Emerald, and we hear the voice of the Guardian, chanting something in a tongue we cannot

understand. Suddenly, it is dark and we are alone…except for Sonic. He looks at us, and

then it begins:






We ready our claws, the Emerald gone, to kill this person before us.



No!



What was that?



Let me go! Let me go!



It was a strange sound, it was so familiar but we could not place it.



What…no, who is that?



You should know.



We don't.



I am a part of you. I _am_ you.



You are…me?



Me? What is me?



Who is me?



Me…I am…darkness.



Pain, sorrow, love, anger-



Love?



You loved her once. You loved her, and you killed her when you left her!



Her?



She?



Me?



We do not…I do not…



Yes, I.



Me.



Myself.



Shadow.



Me! I am Shadow!








I screamed as my body ripped in two. One part was disgusting green leech. It made

a shriek as it flopped on the floor. One part was me. Free of that thing that called

itself Cross at last. It flopped about and disappeared into smoke as I lay, drained and

curled, in the darkness of my own mind. Then, I felt something in my paw. It was a Chaos

Emerald. Maria's Emerald. Her spirit gave it to me so I could live, and now I would.

Maria…

So, how was that?
Seriously speaking, I need advice on how to finish this.
C'mon, everybody has their own idea on how somebody else's story should finish!
I will take anything, and who knows?
Some stupid thing you send in for a laugh might be the theme of the next chapter(s).
As always, R&R! You know you wanna!
