Chaos is Power: Sonic's Greatest Adventure

Chapter ten:

It was dark and raining, not the greatest place for a hedgehog to be, it had been a week since Sonic and the others had encountered Havic.

Shadow was walking along the edge of Emerald Coast, thinking to himself, 'How could Sonic be the true Ultimate Life form? Were all of my memories of Maria and the ARK just an illusion? No, it couldn't be. it all seems so real in my mind.'

"Shadow?" Sonic said standing behind him,

"How did you find me?" Shadow asked,

"That's not important, look, you might not be the ultimate life form, but you still stopped the Biolizard, and I think that counts for something,"

"Maybe, but if I'm not Shadow the Ultimate Life Form, then who, or what I'm I?"

"Who knows, but if you wish to prove you are worthy of the title Ultimate Life Form, beat me in a race,"

"What?"

"If you think that you are the Ultimate Life, then beat me in a race, Emerald Coast is like a long race coarse, beat me to the end of it and you will be called the Ultimate Life Form without any questions,"

"Your on hedgehog!"

As the two racers prepared for the race to the end of Emerald Coast(A/N: the same coarse Sonic when though in SA) they decided once the first thunder was heard the race would begin. They didn't have to wait long, for as soon as they took their places, thunder was heard by Shadow and he took off, followed by Sonic.

The two Hedgehogs raced onward, Shadow wanting to prove he was the true Ultimate Life. If anyone was to see the race, they could only see two blurs, one black, the other blue, but the two 'hogs saw each other, in fact, they could see everything, each rain drop, they could even see each others every leg movements, the whole world seemed to stop; the two hedgehogs had long since broken the sound barrier, and were going faster than ever possible, they had all ready past the speed of Chaos Control.

The two racers soon were past the set goal, running across the water, their speeds seeming impossible, but for Shadow and Sonic, it was just fun. Sonic gave Shadow a look that met they should turn around and go back to the finish line. Shadow looked back saying ok, but with them both running across water, if they slowed down even barley, they would fall in. Shadow managed to turn quick enough, but poor Sonic wasn't lucky enough, as he slowed down and fell in. Shadow seeing this out of the corner of his eye quickly turned around to help his friend, even knowing he could only help him by diving in as well. Shadow dived in on instinct and swam to the blue hedgehog and grabbed him, then swam to the surface as fast as he could, and as soon he reached the top with the blue hedgehog beside him, he woke up.

The black hedgehog woke up with a jolt, "What the. that was all a dream?" Shadow asked out loud, "That was way to intense to be a dream." The black hedgehog stood up and saw that he was sleeping on the edge of Emerald Coast. The hedgehog thought on it for a minute and decided that the dream was trying to tell him something. So he ran, but not from his fear of not being the Ultimate Life, but to find the others, it was time he faced Sonic once and for all.

End Chapter.

~*~*~*~ Damn, that chapter was long. Hey all, it's Anthony, but call me Daikonran, I wrote this whole chapter cause Cyberbanjo had one heck of a writers block, so I stepped in to lend a hand. Yeah, sorry it took so long, had to go back and read some of the other chapters to see how I wanted this to be written, but I think it was worth the wait, don't you? One last thing, if you didn't read the last chapter, nine, then go read it, it holds the key to the next chapter (FanFiction.net had some kinda glitch, so it didn't show up, unless you went to CyberBanjo's profile). Read and review so I can see how my writing is, if people like it, I'll put some of my stuff up. And remember, if you can't beat 'em, eat 'em! All characters © to SEGA
