Hi! Sorry about that I didn't updated earlier. I mean, it's summer vacation, so... never mind... Anyway, let's continue with the story. Thank for all your wonderful reviews!

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog, because he belongs to SEGA. But I could steal it... Ah, never mind.

Chapter 12: A New Shadow

"Don't worry Ames, I'll get you out of there." Sonic said as he took a step closer to Amy.

"Don't make another move, hedgehog!" Eggman said as he snapped his fingers. One of the robots took Amy in his own two claws and squeezed her together. Amy began to scream.

"Shadow, it's so easy... Just surrender. Join with me again. You won't regret it." Eggman said as he smirked.

"What?" Sonic said confused. "Join up again? Shadow, your not gonna do that, right?" Shadow growled and continued to stare at Amy.

"Hahaha! He has no choice. If he doesn't want to join to me, I'll crush his lovely Rose."

Sonic's eyes grew wide. 'His lovely Rose? What does he mean with that?' Sonic then smirked. "Heh, you forgot one thing doc."

Eggman frowned. "Oh? And what's that?"

"Me!" Sonic said as he spin dashed at the robot, aiming at his legs. The robot his legs broke, and he dropped Amy. Shadow quickly ran to catch Amy before she hit the ground. Shadow held Amy in his arms and softly shook her.

"Amy... Wake up... Please..." Shadow softly whispered. Amy slowly opened her eyes.

"Shadow...?" She said in a weak voice. Shadow sighed.

"I'm so glad." Amy looked at him with a soft look. Her eyes where half open, and she had a smile.

"Thank you, Shadow."

"You fool! How can you let that blue hedgehog attack you and take my bait!" Eggman scowled at the broken robot, who was stirring on the ground.

"Haha, no one can beat the fastest hedgehog! That's one down, just two more to go!" Sonic said, pointing at Eggman and the other robot.

"Why are you still standing here? Attack him!" Eggman said to the robot. The robot was about to attack Sonic, but suddenly there were yellow spears going trough the robot, destroying it. Sonic looked behind and saw Shadow, still holding Amy, with one arm stretched. Shadow withdraw his arm and closed his eyes.

"Amateurs..."

"Yeah, nice one Shadow!" Sonic said, walking to the two. He kneeled besides Amy,

"Ames, are you alright?" Sonic asked, stroking her quills softly. Amy smiled softly at him.

"Yeah, a bit bruised. But I'm ok now that you two are here."

"Sonic, you take Amy out of here, I will deal with Eggman." Shadow said, standing up with Amy in his arms. Sonic also stood up, with a determined face.

"No way, Shadow. I'm gonna fight too!" Sonic said.

"No! Amy needs medical attention right now. And you are the one who has to take care of her." Shadow said, handing Amy over into Sonic arms. Amy looked at Shadow, with tears in the corner of her eyes.

"Shadow, please, don't do this." Amy said.

"I will get back. I promise you that, Amy." He looked over to Sonic. "Takes my Chaos Emerald. Use chaos control and get out of here." He handed Sonic his green Chaos Emerald.

"What? How will you get out of here, without your emerald?" Sonic asked, looking at him as if he was crazy.

"I will find my way! Just get out of here with Amy!" Shadow said, now with a irritating voice. Eggman was still scolding at is broken robots, kicking it. His head was red from anger. He noticed that his bait was getting away, together with that blue hedgehog.

"You are not getting away!" Sonic turned around and Shadow ignored him.

"Now Sonic!"

Sonic nodded and held the chaos emerald in the air. Amy looked at Shadow and Shadow looked back.

"Shadow... please be careful." Amy said before Sonic yelled, "Chaos Control!" There was a bright green light, and when that light was gone, so where Sonic and Amy.

"No!" Eggman screamed, but then he noticed that Shadow was still there. He smirked.

"Well, Shadow... I'm surprised that you didn't go with your little friends..."

"I still have some unfinished business with you, Doctor."

A wide grin appeared on Eggman's face. "What a coincidence, Shadow. So have I with you..." Eggman laughed and pushed a button behind him. A loud noise was being heard right above Shadow. He looked up and saw that a glass cabin fell down, right where Shadow stood. Shadow wanted to move, but before he knew it, he was trapped inside the glass cabin. It was almost the same cabin as on the Ark, only this time Shadow wouldn't be send down to earth.

"What the..." Shadow said as he pounced on the glass.

"Don't do anything funny Shadow. Even if you kept pouncing on the glass, you wouldn't be able to brake it. It's as hard as rock and steel!" (A/N: Silly... I know...) Eggman laughed and Shadow growled.

"Damn, How can I get out? I gave my only Chaos Emerald to Sonic to save Amy.' Shadow eyes then softened. 'But it's good, Amy is save. It's rather me then her...'

"Shadow... Aren't you tired?" Eggman said, snapping Shadow out of his thoughts. Shadow looked confused at the mad scientist. Then he growled again.

"What are you talking about?"

"I think you need a nap, hahahahahaha!" Eggman laughed as Shadow heard some kind of sound. He looked up as some kind of powder came down slowly. Shadow's eyelids became heavier every second. He knew what the powder was.

"Eggman... You won't get away with this..." Shadow said, as he fell on the ground, unconscious. Eggman laughed again.

"Sweet dreams, Shadow."

: Station Square hospital :

"Don't worry, Mr. Sonic. Amy Rose is gonna be ok. She has cuts and bruises and a bit of a fever, but nothing really seriously. But We want to keep her here for one night because of the fever." A nurse said to sonic, who was waiting in the waiting room in the hospital.

Sonic sighed in relief. "That's good... So, can I see her now?"

The nurse smiled. "Of course, follow me, Mr. Sonic." She said as she led Sonic to Amy's room. She opened the door and let Sonic in. Once he was in, she closed the door and walked away to let them be alone together.

Sonic walked slowly to Amy, seeing that she was quietly sleeping. He grabbed a chair and sat beside her bed. He grabbed her hand softly.

"Amy... I'm sorry I wasn't be there on time. If I weren't late, you wouldn't be in this bed." He looked down.

"It's not your fault, Sonic." He heard a soft voice he knew all too well. He looked up, seeing that Amy was awake.

"Amy! You are awake!" Sonic said, with happiness in his voice.

"Where are we?" Amy asked, not taking her eyes of Sonic.

"We are in the Station Square hospital. But don't worry, tomorrow you can go back home."

"So we are far away from Eggman?" Amy asked. Sonic only nodded. Amy closed her eyes.

"Thank God..." But then, an image of a black hedgehog went trough her mind. She gasped. "W-where is Shadow? He also got away, right? Please tell me he is alright, Sonic!"

Sonic looked down. "I don't know, Ames... He... he gave me his only Chaos Emerald to let us escape. I don't know if he escaped as well..."

'Shadow...' Amy thought. 'Please, be alright...'

: Eggman's Hidden Base :

"Perfect... Perfect! Rise, Ultimate Life form!" Eggman said, as he backed away from his table where a black hedgehog lay.

Slowly, the black hedgehog rose, opening his blood red eyes. He hopped off the table and looked at his new master.

"Tell me, project Shadow, what is your goal?" Eggman asked, with a grin on his face.

"To eliminate all those worthless beings, called humans. So that you, my master, can build your empire on this pathetic planet." Shadow replied in a dark voice.

"I've done it, I have re-created the Ultimate life form!" Eggman said and laughed his evil laugh. Shadow smirked, ready to go outside, to terminate.

Mh, this isn't gettin' too corny and cliché, right? Well, tell me what you think. Anyway, what I wanted to say: SHADOW, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING? Review please!
