A/N: Hey peoples I've been working on a story that involves my character and this is it. I've tried really hard to make her fit in so please tell me what you think. This story takes place after the events in Sonic Adventure 2/Battle.

Night Whispers of Revenge


"Now Shadow!"

"Chaos Control!"

"This is for you Maria." I think remembering all the memories back on Ark. The day I lost her and promised revenge against the people who took her life. She never deserved that and now I will make sure everyone gets a chance to live. I'll carryout you're last wish Maria. Putting all my energy and soul in this last attack, we transport the colony back to its right full place. I look at my rivals face, only to see him grinning at are success. That same grin fades away as my counterpart turns to me.

I was losing my hyper form and there is nothing Sonic could do. He tried reaching for my wrist, only to grab my gold bracelet instead. "Shadow!" he yelled. The look in the hedgehogs' eyes was something I never expected to see...it was the look of helplessness. The gravitation force pulled me closer to earth and my death. I watched as Sonic tried to reach me, but he too was losing his super form. It wasn't reasonable for both of us to die. With one last look I gave the cobalt hedgehog a thumps up. Sonics' head hung low and returned to Ark.

With my last bit of energy I tried to use chaos control but my body was under to much stress. Every bit of my being was set a blaze; upon entering the Earths' atmosphere. "I've fulfilled your wish Maria. Now everyone can live in peace again and we can be together." I close my eyes and let death take a hold of me.

Shadow loses consciousness as the pain becomes too much for him. Though is body is burning at an alarming rate and losing blood, he is still alive. The last bit of chaos energy leaves his body and he falls towards an unknown forest.

Not too far away, a lone girl wonders the same forest. She stumbles and falls making her way though the dark forest. Images of past events flash through her head. She witnesses a scene of kids laughing turn into outcries of suffering. The village is burning, people run in fear, and bodies of loved ones cover the ground. In the middle of the chaos is a girl crying over the body of her dead mother. The girl grasps the woman's cold hands and rubs them against her cheek. While rubbing her tears away, she whispers three words in her native language. Her fists are tight in a ball as the tears stream down her face. She takes one last look at the destruction around and stands up slowly walks away.

The images soon fade away, revealing the girl breathing heavily by a tree. Taking in the night air she recognizes a familiar smell....a smell she can detect miles away. She has come to know and love this certain aroma, which pleases her odd as it sounds. Moving quickly through the forest, she tracts down the scent of fresh blood. The blood drives her senses wild and doesn't rest until it finds the red liquid. Never has she felt such adrenalin cruise through her body.

"There's a lot of blood...I can feel it."

The mysterious girl comes to a clearing in the forest. Her sliverish blue eyes scan the area for any signs of the person or animal leaking the red liquid. Finding nothing in sight she sniffs the air. Her highly developed nose picks up the scent and it would seem its coming form the sky. "So there falling from the sky unh." She speaks out loud. "We'll just see about that." Lifting her right paw up her hand glows a bright sliver. Slowly the body of Shadow the hedgehog floats down towards the clearing. "Well looks like I caught a big one." The girl laughs to herself, looking down at a breathing ebony hedgehog. She's surprised and at the same time astonished that Shadow is alive. He's black fur smells brunt and much blood flows freely from the wounds. It's a grotesque sight, but the girl seems unfazed by his appearance.

"Maybe I can help him." She says, looking at his torn and mangled body. "Then again this might prove difficult."

As the mysterious girl watches Shadow die, trying to help the best she can. In the back of his subconscious, Shadow watches is own life pass him by. He stood alone as images flashed and zoomed by him. Showing him all the thing he had done or saw in the past. Being released by Dr. Robotnik, destroying G.u.n's machine, stealing the chaos emerald, the face off with Sonic, and destroying half the moon. These images were just the tip off the iceberg. "What's going on?" Shadow questioned.

"Don't you see Shadow...revenge leads to nothing but death, hate, and sorrow. Right now as we speak, someone is going through the same thing you did."

The ebony hedgehog recognized that voice immediately.

"Maria what are you saying?" Shadow asks looking for the girl.

Maria reveals herself to Shadow. Her blond hair and blue eyes are just the way he remembers them. Shadow embraces Maria in a hug; not wanting to ever let go. He sobs quietly on her dress as Maria rubs his ebony fur. "Maria I've missed you so much and now we're together again." The dark hedgehog wipes the tears of happiness away from his crimson eyes. He looks at Maria who doesn't seem to happy. "Shadow I've missed you too and I'm going to miss you even more when... you leave." She states holding his hand.

"What do you mean when I leave?" Shadow asks his crimson eye's looking at Maria's blue ones. Maria averts her attention away form her dark friend. She stands up turning away from shadow and pulls something out of her pocket. She turns back around holding the item in her closed hand. "Shadow you have to go back...you still have a promise to keep."

"But Maria...I did keep your promise."

"I know and that meant for you to stay alive and protect the innocent. I don't have much time Shadow; someone is plotting revenge that could destroy everyone. Please you must stop them or many people will die." Maria said, crying in her friend arms. Just as Maria fades away, she kisses him gently on the cheek and puts something in his hand. "Maria!" He shouts, trying to grab her. A single tears drops from her blue eyes, landing on his cheek.

Crimson eyes flutter open glancing up at a cloudy night sky. Shadow winces in pain as he tries to sit up. 'I must find this person.' Shadow thinks. He clenches his fists to find a small sphere like object. Upon further inspection Shadow discovers that it's some kind of crystal orb. The orb is small enough to fit in his gloved hand and has craving inscribed all over it.

"I don't know what this, but it may help me somehow." He speaks out loud, trying to stand up.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." A voice calls to him.

Shadow turns to where the voice came from only to find nothing. His ears pick up the breathing of someone close by. Knowing that his in no condition to fight, he takes a fighting stance anyway. "Do you really think you can beat me in that state?" The girl asks. Shadow is surprised that he didn't pay attention to the girls' voice at first. He huffs at her remark and thinks she is no threat. The mysterious girl watches the hedgehog from the shadows; Examining each and every wound on his body.

"My condition is of no concern to you." He speaks bitterly.

Outraged by his manners she growls at Shadow.

"Fine than I guess you don't care to...die!"

In a blink of an eye Shadow was on the ground. Bewildered on what just happened, the figure of the girl was gone. The ebony hedgehog got to his feet only to be put in a choke hold. Every once of air was leaving Shadow's already drained body. The girl laughs as she releases the dark hedgehog, before knocking him out.

Me: Well that's the beginning please tell me what you think.
