Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog

Red...pink...blue...yellow...white...black...

What color do you see the world?

Are you free? Happy? Empty? Or maybe a bit of everything.

Which path will you take?

On a darkest night a lone hedgehog walked on the streets of Station Square. There were only street lamps to provide light while everything else is darkness. The black hedgehog moved so silently through the street. He was so well hidden in the shadows that anyone could mistake him ever being there.

Shadow the Hedgehog surveyed the street as he walked past expecting an attack. In no time at all Shadow was lost in his thoughts when a voice broke through.

"What color do you see the world?"

Shadow turned around and there stood a robed man.

"What?" asked Shadow coldly.

"I said what color do you see the world as?"

"I don't have time to answer pointless questions," and walked away instantly.

"Are you alone? Empty? Did you lose someone dear to you?

When the sentence was finished Shadow slowly turned around and faced the robed man.

"Are you angry? Sad? Or have you forgiven those people?

Visions started to flash in Shadow's mind. Visions of a young girl with blond hair, sky blue eyes and wearing a elegant blue dress. She was on the floor reaching for Shadow in pain. Shadow was suddenly inside a capsule looking straight at the girl.

"Shadow, I beg of you, please do it for me...for a better future! For all the people who live on that planet... give them a chance to be happy."

The girl was suffering as she said those words.

"Let them live for their dreams. Shadow I know you can do it. That's the reason you were brought into this world."

Shadow was just standing there watching the poor girl. He knew and she knew that she doesn't have much time to live.

"Sayonara...Shadow the Hedgehog..."

As she said finished those words she touched the controls and Shadow was falling, falling into the depths of space. The darkness swallowed him and all his surroundings.

"Well?

The visions faded away and he was standing in the middle of the street again.

"Well?" repeated the robed man.

Shadow snapped out of his dream world and was back in reality. He stared blankly at the man and realized he had asked him a question.

Have you forgiven those people? That was the question whom the man asked.

"I don't know..."answered Shadow.

At that moment a scream was heard. It sounded like a scream of a woman.

Shadow turned his head towards the scream. A fire started burning and got bigger and bigger. In no time at all, the whole house was burning.

Shadow turned back to the robed man only to find him disappeared.

Everyone was woken up by the scream and was running towards the house with buckets of water. Soon more people came. A screeching cry was heard; a child was still in the house trapped. Nobody did anything properly they all knew that nothing can be done to the trapped child.

A blue blur caught Shadow's eye when he was just about to walk away. It ran to the house and leaped right in. After about 5 seconds it leaped back outside carrying the small child. The blue blur stopped in front of the mother of the child he was carrying and gave him to her.

"Hey! It's Sonic!"

"Sonic the Hedgehog saved the child!'

People surrounded him giving him praises and many thanks for his heroic actions.

"Humph, the faker," Shadow mumbled.

Shadow turned a corner when he heard a shout.

"HEY!"

Shadow looked all around him not finding anyone in site and then he looked up. Something was falling from the sky and landed right on top of him.

"Ouch, that was very painful," the mysterious thing said.

Shadow looked at what had fallen on him and saw a female silver hedgehog with blood-red eyes.

"Get off me and who the hell are you?" snapped Shadow.

The silver Hedgehog moved from Shadow and stood up.

"Sorry"

"Oh, who're you?" asked the hedgehog.

"I'm Shadow and you haven't answered my question yet."

"Oh, I'm sorry I haven't said who I was yet."

Shadow arched an elbow and stared at her.

"My name is Phoenix and I'm from Angel Island."

Good? Okay? Bad?
