I'm still alive! Man this is harder than I thought, but thank you loyal readers! You are my star that I follow and my inspiration! Thank you for your advice and opinions, I treasure them dearly.

"Oh, really, well what about those first reviewers who gave you flames?" questioned Shadow.

I cried for a long time, but their review went to good use.

"Really?" asked Sonic.

Yea, I used them for a fire when I was locked outside and it was 30 degrees and in my pj's. Anyway here are my responses for you reviewers!

Shadow Stalkr: I'm really happy! You said my grammar is good! To me that's an oxymoron! And I'm on my way, to save the day and read your awesome fan fictions!

Snoopstar101: Actually, yes. This is going to be a Sonamy fic but not that much, a little here and there, as well as ShadowOC and a little Knuxrouge. Maybe for your enjoyment, I might make a fic only about Sonamy fluff! That would be fun!

Lowndes: Thank you!

Narisha-is-here: YOU ROCK!

Plus, Shadow Stalkr had informed me about you meanies who can't give newbies a break, complaining about these author notes, and I would like to say…I HATE YOU!

"That's it?" said Shadow.

Yes, I have to save energy to type, Now…ON WITH THE FIC!

Disclaimer: No Sonic is not mine, neither is Shadow…but if you try to take Luna…I SHALL SEND MY FLYING MONKEYS OF DOOM UPON YOU!

Sonic the hedgehog was pacing in his small prison cell, often tapping his foot because of his impatience. He had only been brought to this military island base a few hours ago, but being locked up isn't our fair hero's style now is it?

His ear twitched, something was coming. Sonic walked over to the bars and looked up. An air vent was rattling wildly, almost coming off. Then, a swift movement by something red made the cover blow off and something pink fell to the ground.

"Huh, Amy?"

"Shhh, Keep you voice down. Have no fear, Amy Rose is here!" Amy twirled.

"How'd you get here?" Sonic demanded.

"Well, if you gotta know, I caught a ride with Tails. (Mutters: And some slut of a hedgehog (HEY!)) Are you sure you don't need my help, it looks like you could use it!" She held up the GUN access card.

"The reason I'm in here is because that fake hedgehog!" Sonic growled and started stretching his legs.

"You mean, that black hedgehog?"

"Did you see it? Where is it now?" Sonic ran up to the bars and got as close as he could to Amy.

Amy grinned, "If I tell ya, will you marry me?"

"NO WAY!"

"I thought I had you this time." Amy snapped her fingers.

(A/N: I don't know if it's just me but, If you had you biggest crush cornered and you were their only way out, would you let them out? Well, I wouldn't. Maybe it's part of the fact of Amy being 12...Oh well.)

The pink hedgehog made her way over to a control panel and swiped the card through a reader. After some clinking and clunking noises, the bars so Sonic's cage disappeared into the ceiling.

"That black hedgehog came here with Dr. Eggman." She explained as Sonic walked out of his cell.

"So Eggman's behind this huh?" Sonic started to trot off in mid-thought.

"Yea, and I wonder what that Lisa girl is doing here anyway, she never did tell us." Amy thought to herself.

"What? Lisa is here? Amy what's going on!" Sonic whipped around.

"All I know is, I saw that black hedgehog and Eggman came after me, Tails fought him off and then Lisa showed up and brought us to you." Amy told him.

"Hmm…" Then Sonic ran down the hall to the outside world.

"What's all that writing on the wall anyway? Did you do that Sonic?" She said admiring her surroundings but when she turned around she find herself alone. "Grr…Sonic, he's such a brat sometimes!"

Eggman was on a run way waiting for Rouge and Shadow to return from their missions, when a mysterious figure appeared in a nearby tree in the forest, close enough to hear his radio commands.

"I'm in place doctor, tell me when." Shadow spoke through the radio.

"Alright you two, this is it and we only get one shot. Shadow set the timer for 15 minutes, Rouge get the Chaos Emeralds and get out of there!" The Eggman commanded back.

"5 minutes should be plenty, here I go!" Rouge's voice said.

Back with Eggman, the fat human started up his machine was made his way back to his own pyramid base, then to return to the ARK and wait for his teammates to finish their own missions. Lisa decided this was a good time to go find Shadow and Sonic, so she jumped off the tree and started running down the forest floor.

"Now this looks fun!" Sonic cried.

He was starring at various runways for airplanes and several missile platforms, and they were all connected in one big stage. He grinned and started running, past a loop-de-loop, through a wall of robots and grinded on a giant railing throughout the whole plane.

The blue hedgehog landed on a platform with a giant rocked attached. He smirked and started to run up the pathway, which led to the rocket when a large and boomed voice said, "Missile Launch in 15 seconds." Now the young man was running for his life, and…what's this? Drips of sweat ladies and gentlemen! Our hero is sweating under pressure! (A/N I HAD TO DO THAT!)

Anyway, Sonic started to gather his speed and stopped at a corner and went into a deep crouch position, and shot up like a rocket and grabbed a hold on a huge handle as the missile launched off into the air. After being a few hundred feet up in the air, Sonic let go of the missile and fell down to the island, to be specific, the forest area.

Shadow was quietly walking in the forest, waiting with his communicator so when he got the word that Rouge completed her mission; he could teleport back to ARK.

Was that really Lisa? Is she really here on this island? Nah, I'm just paranoid.

"This is Rouge. I've got a slight problem." Her voice called through the radio and Shadow looked at it suspiciously, "I can't believe I'm trapped in this locked safe with the Chaos Emeralds! I guess I won't be able to call myself a treasure hunter anymore."

Shadow sighed, now there might be trouble. That treasure hunter is stuck with the Chaos Emeralds, and the island is going to blow up in, 13 minutes.

The ebony hedgehog leaned against a nearby tree when a stray thought entered his mind. He saw Rouge, sitting sloppily against the wall of a safe, ruble of a robot, still smoking a few feet off. Shadow saw her sigh and look at her hands, then a small, clear, glistening tear seeped from her eye.

FLASH!

Maria was leaning against a control panel on the ARK typing in words, though she was getting sloppy, then she stopped and sighed, a tear escaping her eye.

FLASH!

Back to Rouge.

FLASH!

Maria.

FLASH!

Rouge.

(Is anyone else bored with this?)

FLASH!

Maria.

FLASH!

Rouge…(Shadow taps his foot, "Well?"

Look at the pretty purple flying kitties O.O

Shadow said, "hold on a second (SLAP!)"

YOU PRICK! I'LL KILL YOU! I mean…let us continue where we (cough) left off…Please ignore that)

Shadow starred at the ground in thought, when he got up and muttered, "Oh, shoot! Trouble maker!" and ran off towards the military base.

(A/N Alright I know you guys are all about action so I'm gonna fast forward to the part where Sonic and Shadow fight…DAMN IT…oh well (presses fast forward button) lalala…mmmm…DONE! (presses play))

Shadow landed on a large fallen tree and stopped a moment to examine his surroundings, when he saw an all to familiar figure running below him.

Shadow grimaced, "It's that blue hedgehog of all places."

The hedgehog down beneath him heard that and cried in triumph, "I found you, Faker!"

"Faker? I think you're the faker around here, comparing yourself to me? HA! You're not even good enough to be my fake!" The ebony hedgehog taunted.

"I'll make you eat those words!" Sonic snapped and charged at Shadow.

The two met at a round island surrounded by swamp and started circling each other, ready and waiting in battle poses.

"There is no time for games, you won't even get the chance!" Shadow growled.

"I'll show you, there's only one true Sonic!" The indigo male shouted back.

As they prepared for battle, Lisa was running through a nearby hollow tree when she heard yelling and fighting. So she decided to investigate, and found two male hedgehogs rolling over in the grass, trying to rip out each other's throats.

At first she started to laugh, but when she got closer, the female found Shadow and Sonic trying to rip each other apart. Meanwhile, the two and forced themselves away from each other and were gasping for breath.

"What are you two doing?!" The two males whipped around to see Lisa starring at them, her mouth open wide and fear clearly showing in her eyes.

Shadow started to step towards her when all three stood still and listened to a voice over the radio on the ebony hedgehog.

"Shadow, what are you doing?! Get back here right now before the island blows up with you on it!" Eggman screeched.

"Blows up?!" Sonic and Lisa yelled at the same time.

Shadow hesitated, then ran and held Lisa in a hug-like grasp, then Chaos Controlled into the cell Rouge was being kept in. Rouge was totally shocked at their appearance, especially by Lisa's as she still stole their Chaos Emerald, but with Shadow and his Chaos Control ability all three warped out in the nick of time.

Back on ARK

FLASH BACK! (w00t! Come on, everybody loves a good flashback!)

"Shadow, what do you think it's like on Earth?" A young teen asked, she and her friend were starring out the window on the observation deck.

"The Professor said that his life's work was dedicated to all of those who live down there. He once told that the reason for his existence was to help was to help people through the power of science." Another young hedgehog answered back.

"Shadow…"

"Maria, I just don't know anymore. I often wonder why I was created, what my purpose is for being here. Maybe if I go down there, I will find the answers, maybe." The young project said.

"Maria…"

End Flashback (awww)

"Why so melancholy?" Rouge stepped over to Shadow, who was looking a Earth through the window on the observation deck.

The male stayed silent, starring out of the corner of his eye at the female hedgehog with laser cuffs around her wrists, avoiding his gaze.

"That was so unlike you, Shadow, to come and rescue me. But, you ability to use the Chaos Control, certainly comes in handy." The bat continued.

He spoke up, "You know, I didn't come back to save you, I came back for the Chaos Emeralds."

"Yea, Yea, but that's not the whole story is it?" Rouge replied, nodding her head towards Lisa.

"Ahem!" (clearing throat noise) The doctor said from behind them, "Everything is ready to go!"

"Are you sure?" Rouge questioned, "We only have 5 of the 7 Chaos Emeralds you know?"

"Actually, we have 6." Eggman pointed to Lisa, still in the corner, not moving.

Shadow starred at her, a tear forming in his eye but he whipped it away, "That's more than enough for the demonstration! Now let's get this show on the road!"

Then, Shadow started to walked past Eggman, to the Central Control Room.

Whee! Wasn't that good? Wasn't it? Was it? TELL ME!

"Ignore her, she's high on Halloween candy." said Shadow.

Well, you didn't eat it and I didn't want to give it to Tails, I made that mistake last June!

Sonic blurted "Oh Yea! You had leftover Halloween candy in June and gave it to Tails! That was hilarious!"

"You ate it too!" Tails objected.

"I did?" asked Sonic.

Yea, Now that was funny! Anyway, review please! Now if you'll excuse me…(starts running on the celing)

"I've got the popcorn and coke!" Knuckles shouted.

Coke? COKE! COKE! COKE! COKE! COKE!

"DUCK IN COVER!" cried Shadow.
