10:00pm, December 2, 19#9
Out of Sight,
Shadow and Maria were in the apartment watching TV when the channel on the TV changed. Maria said, "What are we watching now?" Shadow said, "I didn't change the channel." McGovern appeared on the TV, "Hello, Shadow."
Out of Mind,
"Don't even think about hiding, we shot up your little hiding place, be ready to die," with that the channel went back to what they were watching before. Thomas (poorly) ran (still on crutches) over to them, "Maria, you know where I have to go, I'll get Shadow and we will get out, they already have Gerald." Maria said, "No dad, I am a fast runner, you would never make it!"
Out of time,
"I would rather die, knowing you're safe!" Thomas went in the drawer in the end table next to him and pulled out his gun. Maria cupped her fahter's face in her hands, "Dad, I will find you there, I promise, I will live! Please, do this, for me, Shadow, your father, your mother, (sigh) my mother.
To decide
Thomas knew she was right, but he was scared for her life, but he knew what he must do. He mouthed, "ok." Maria hugged her father and ran out of the room, she shouted back, "I love you!"
Do we run?
Maria was running with Shadow's wrist in her hand, "Shadow hurry up, we can't get caught!" Shadow stumbling from not being able to run himself said, "Maria, where are we going, I'm scared!" Maria replied, "We gotta get to the place you watch the earth, your sanctuary!"
Should I hide?
They turned the corner and ran into McGovern, literally. Shadow pulled Maria up and McGovern pointed the gun at Shadow's fore-head, "Your mine..." Shadow kicked the gun out of his hand and they ran. It was a straight-away hallway, but there where alot of pillars. Maria said, "Shadow, hide here!!" He hid behind one of the fat pillars and Maria hid behind it as well.
For the rest
Shadow whispered, "Why are we going there?" She whispered, "We are going to earth, Shadow! We are going to live there, and we will not have to hide anymore.
Of my life
Shadow thought Go to Earth? We are really going there!! I am so happy! No one will ever bother us!
Can we fly?
McGovern ran right past them and they waited 10 seconds and went in the same direction. Maria said, "Shadow, you can fly right?" Shadow nodded. She replied annoyed, "Well DO IT!" He kicked off the ground, and his air shoes allowed him to stay in the air, he grabbed her wrist and they flew down the hallway.
Do I stay?
Little did they know, they flew right past McGovern and he shot Shadows shoe, trying to shoot him. Shadow fell and his air shoes no longer worked, he was not injured though.
We could lose
McGovern ran after them and continuely shot bullets, but they dodged every one.
We could fail
Maria tripped and fell to the ground. In her fall, she cup her lip.
In the moment
Maria got back up and started to run, tasting the metallic taste of blood.
It takes
McGovern started to catch up to them,
To make plans
Pulled out his gun and pulled the trigger.
Or mistakes
Maria was shot.
30 minutes, a blink of an eye
(once again) Maria fell to the ground, she rolled over and Shadow saw the wound he shot her right above the heart. She was bleeding and she tried to stand up.
30 minutes to alter our lives
As soon as Shadow saw her hit the ground, his whole word came shattering down. His best friend was just broken by a one inch silver bullet.
30 minutes to make up my mind
Shadow helped up Maria, he knew this was going to slow them down consideribly. She still ran, she ran 3/4 of her usually speed, which surprised him.
30 minutes to finally decide
Shadow said, "Maria, are you going to make it?" Maria looked down and him and nodded. She was really a strong person.
30 minutes to whisper you name
Maria whispered to him, "Shadow?" He said, "Yes, M-Maria?" "I will live, I have a promise to keep."
30 minutes to shoulder the blame
Shadow stopped dead in his tracks and stared down McGovern, making him stop, he pointed the gun at him. Shadow spoke first, "So, you broke the law, how are you going to cover that up? Are you going to say there was a mistke in the computer program and made it blow up, or some shit like that?" McGovern smiled, "Hey, thats a good idea!" McGovern pointed the gun at Shadow and pulled trigger. No bullet came out. He was out of ammo, "DAMMIT!!"
30 minutes of bliss, thirty lies
Shadow smirked and began to run with Maria.McGovern thought This is the most fun I've had in 10 years, hmm.. The hedgehog is right. That would be a good cover up story.
30 minutes to finally decide
Maria fell to the ground and coughed up blood, "I don't (cough) think I'm going to (cough) make it.." Shadow shoutted, "No! You made a decison, a promise to do what your father could not! Now, lets get out of here!!!" Maria gingerly go back up.
Carousels
Maria began to get light-headed.
In the sky
Maria got really dizzy.
That we shape
She looked out a window.
With our eyes
She started hallucinate.
Under shade
Maria's eyes got dim.
Silhouettes
She could only see a silhoutte of her best friend.
Casting shame
She was ashamed of herself, she couldn't fulfill a promise.
Crying rain
Shadow looked at her pale face, they both began to cry.
Can we fly?
Maria remembered her mother, she rememberd her running in this hallway. Wait, that wasn't a memory, she could see her mother right now. Maria Robotnik was dying.
Do I stay?
Was her soul destined to stay on the ARK forever, away from Shadow?
We could lose
She began to see again, they were in the escape pod room.
We could fail
She thought she wouldn't live to even see the room, but she succeeded.
Either way
She knew she was going to die, but she wantted to at least fulfill half of her promise, to send Shadow to Earth.
Options change
Her first options were to save Shadow and herself and go to earth, or die. Now its send Shadow to Earth and die, or both die.
Chances fail
She wasn't going to let her best friend die no matter what the cost.
Trains derail
But Shadow would refuse to let her die.
30 minutes, a blink of an eye
She knew she was going to die so she pointed over in the middle of the room, breathlessly, "Shadow, wait there." Shadow reluctantly moved away and went to where she said.
30 minutes to alter our lives
She was at the controller's desk and a pod closed around him. He shouted throught the glass, "MARIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
30 minutes to make up my mind
Maria decided to do this for him, she was going to die so what was the point?
30 minutes to finally decide
Maria said, "Shadow, I beg of you..."
30 minutes to whisper you name
"...please do it for me, for a better future!"
30 minutes to shoulder the blame
Shadow was in tears, "Maria!!"
30 minutes of bliss, thirty lies
She continued, "For all the people who live on that planet, give them a chance to be happy. Let them live for their dreams..."
30 minutes to finally decide
"....thats the reason why you were brought into this world. Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog..."
To decide,
McGovern entered the room, he saw Maria standing near the controller's desk, he ran over to he and pointed the gun between her eyes, "See ya later."
To decide, To decide, To decide,
He pulled the trigger, Maria Robotnik was dead.
To decide,
Maria fell on the button and Shadow was sent down to earth, to the ARK earth base.
To decide, To decide, To decide,
Shadow cried, "Sayonara, Maria Robotnik."
To decide.
He curled up and cried.
