'What happened? I remember, light. . . Hyper Control!' Shadow instantly

remembered everything that happened. Amy convinced him to try Hyper

Control instead of sacrificing himself to save everyone else. He was

vaguely aware of a sense of falling and extreme heat. His senses became

clear and he could see the ground, looming ever closer to him. Shadow

screamed as he slammed into the ground in a forest. 'If there's no one to

hear it, does a scream make a sound?' Shadow thought dryly as he

coughed up blood. 'I've returned to the day that I fell to Earth after the

ARK incident, the day that Robotnik finds me. . . I tried to tell her that

nothing would change. . . I am in worse shape this time though.'

'I have to get to Shadow!' Amy thought as she ran. She really had no idea

where she was going; she just let her feet guide her. Eventually she

thought she could smell traces of smoke and another smell, one that

sickened her, the smell of blood. She burst into a clearing to see the

Ultimate Life, Shadow, lying in a pool of his own blood. As she

approached him she saw his eyes open and was thankful for the spark of

recognition that was seen in his eyes. Amy pulled his upper body onto

her lap and, cradling him in her arms, kissed him passionately. The result

was Shadow's mind going a little fuzzy. As Amy slipped her hand in his,

he whispered, "It's changed." Shadow managed a weak smile for her

sake. Amy kissed him again as he fell asleep in her arms. "I love you

Shadow." She whispered quietly.
