Hey people, Shadow's back! Anyway, I'm just going to say right here, I'm ditching the camble soup mansion for now.... That and I'm sorry I haven't written anything in so long, I know I had a lot of fans..... ''sniffsniff''', which comes to a total of, what, 5 or 6? Oh well.... Anyway, this is my first chapter in a while, from me, and I hope it's not my last.....

SHADOW

"I'm back" I said, as I slowly came up to shore on my pathetic little raft that I had sailed on for so long. I looked around after I got off the boat, and off in the distance I spotted radical highway. "for old times sake" I said to my self as I came up to the highway.

RADICAL HIGHWAY 2

"Hmph"

Shadow started grinding down from the tower he started on when he first tried to escape from the military on Sonic Adventure 2.

He sped down the rail, went up the springs and found himself staring at Sonic. "Wha?!? Shadow? Where did you-"he started, then Shadow Attacked him, a homing attack, straight for the stomach. Fortunately for Sonic, he recovered from shock just in time to be able to dodge and counter. "So, Shadow, I see that you managed to survive your fall.... But how?"

"That's of no importance right now... just get out of my way"

"Shadow, how long have you been here?!?"

"GET OUT OF THE WAY SONIC!"

"NOT UNTILL YOU ANSWER MY QUESTIONS!"

"FINE! I'll just have to force my way past you!" Shadow Dashed towards Sonic, but before Shadow could hit sonic, sonic did a chaos control, went behind Shadow, and did an ancient light to Shadow. He didn't stand a chance, because he was too weak from the long trip from prison island and the lack of food.

Shadow collapsed to the ground, defeated. "Now will you answer my questions?"

"Yeah, just give me a second... I survived by some impossible luck, just after I hit, my last ring disappeared, I figured out that I was on gun island... well... the remains of it anyway...there wasn't much left... I survived there by eating what was left, then I built a raft, and drifted back here, that gets us to now."

"Ok, so, where are you going?"

"I answered your questions. Now get out of the way!" Shadow ran towards sonic, but instead of attacking him, Shadow just jumped over sonic and kept on running.

Next, shadow came to a couple beetles, Shadow did a homing attack to them, and another appeared just in front of Shadow, he continued doing this until he reached a floating platform with the seven chaos emeralds in a small clear chest.

Shadow started to grab the chaos emeralds, when he noticed a slight red tint to the box, there were inferred lasers covering the box. Shadow knew that this was probably set up by Sonic to keep the emeralds safe. So he did the most obvious solution, used chaos control to get the emeralds out of the box before the security system detected him. After that, he spotted a patch of hotels and resorts, since Shadow had been living off of what he could provide for himself in a jungle, he decided to go to one of the resorts. He chose the NiGHTS into dreams hotel.

After he got down from the platform, he was greeted by about 50 gun bots... "Shoot! I must have set off the alarm.... No probem... CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow used the 10 seconds to dispatch every single one of the gun bots.

His next task was to get to the NiGHTS into dreams hotel. He started running, when he remembered that he was probably still being hunted for the bank robbery that happened before, and, since he was a top secret wepon, and was supposed to be locked up at where ever gun relocated to. So, since gun has certain tie-in's with the police, he was probably on Station Square's most wanted list. But alas, he remembered just second to late... because at that moment, 5 police cars squealed to a stop in front of Shadow.

It was a no brainier situation, run or die. Shadow ran, and used Chaos Control to help him. The police men were ready though, right behind them were 10 of Nascar's best high speed drivers, in special cars that were duplicates of the vehicle that set the land speed record (yeah, a little Sonic Xey, I know. Oh well...). Shadow ran, but they chased, and kept up. If Shadow didn't get away from them, he would get caught. He slowed down a little, jumped up to a light pole, and used the speed he was going at to turn the light post 90 degrees. He let go and landed at the entrance to the hotel.

RANK: A

"Ultimate Victory"

I entered the hotel to see the hotel manger talking to a police officer, I should have knowen this wouldn't have been easy. He used chaos control to take a key, sign the guest register, and run up to his room without anyone seeing him. "Finally, some rest and relaxa-"

"WHAT?!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN A ROOM KEY'S GONE?!?" Shadow Heard the manager yelling.

Ok, cliff hanger, you'll have to wait a LONG time before I solve it... or maybe not time at all... what ever.... I don't know yet.... All I do know, is I WANT REVIEWS! Really, though. No reviews means that you have no oppinion, and no opinnion means that I cant make this story better. Which sucks horrobally.... Also, if you want a copy of one of my stories (besides the discontinued story with my other screen name, that one's discontinued) I have them on my hard drive, and I can send it to you. Oh, and on a final note... for levels, I'm taking suggestions, but, once again, for liability purposes, I have to ask you to email them to me. I will, however, post anything emailed to me about this story I seem fit, (in other words, if It fits, I'll put email up on here) once again, this fits the rules, so this story, right now anyway, can't be deleted, like my other stories were. (yeah, I'm sure most of my fan's know about this) and as a final note... I'm posting this under echelon2020's remaining story too, just incase people are checking that screen name, instead of this one.... (this proves that I'm him and he's me, no imposter, HA!, that and I have three email adresses, that's how I can get multiple screen names, one screen name per account, 3 screen names, simple. W/e, I'm going on again (It's been so long since I've done this... I'm out of practice.)
