"Have you noticed that Shadow has been acting better this week?" Sonic asked Rouge
"Yes I have." they were in the den.
"I wonder why...Not that it's a bad thing!"
"I have a feeling it has something to do with Katana."
"Why's that?"
"Where exactly did those yellow wings come from? They appeared the day Shadow went out in the storm."
"You know chaos can take on traits from animals."
"I know but Shadow said "someone called him." The conversation ended when they heard Amy calling Sonic's name. Sonic ran and hid under the couch. Amy entered.
"Rouge? Where's Sonic?" Rouge looked down at Sonic in a way that Amy couldn't see; he shook his head.
"I don't know, why?"
"He took my photo album!"
"Why would he do that?" Rouge kicked the hiding Sonic.
"I don't know! When I find him...I'll kill him!"
"Well, I'll tell you if I see him."
"Thanks, Rouge." she said while walking away. Rouge looked at Sonic.
"What?" he whispered.
Shadow sat outside in the grass, he was waiting for Cream to come back. She had gone into the house to get something. Shadow sat with Cheese and Katana.
'For the first time, in a long time, I'm...happy.' Shadow looked at a small purple flower.
"Shadow?" Cream said. Shadow looked up at her. She was holding something but he couldn't tell what. "This is for you. It's from all of us!" she handed it to him.
It was a necklace. A simple design he liked. It was a small metal wing on a thin chain. Shadow smiled. "Thank you." he put it on. Cream had a look on her face that looked terrified. "What's wrong, Cream?" Shadow turned around.
Eggman sat in his machine that gave Sonic the idea to call him Dr. Eggman. "Shadow the hedgehog. Time to go."
"What?"
"You really think they forgave you? That you're not hurting them?" Shadow stared wide-eyed.
"Shadow!" Cream ran to him and grabbed Shadow's arm." Let's get out of here!" Shadow didn't move. "Don't listen to him! Shadow!" Shadow snapped out of it and ran with Cream. He began to see the memory of him running through the halls of ARK with Maria. Shadow stopped running. Cream tried to get him to move but he turned to face Eggman.
"Cream, you go on."
"But-"
"Go." Cream hesitated but soon ran to the house with the chaos to find the others. Once she was gone, Shadow spoke to Eggman. "What do you want?"
"I only want your help."
"For what?"
"What do you care? You don't have anything anyway." Shadow winced. "Oh, I see. Holding onto them. Listen, if you help me, I won't hurt them but if you don't help me I'll take them away from you one-by-one."
Shadow thought 'I don't want history to repeat itself, I don't want anyone else to die..."
"Alright..." Shadow hung his head.
"Sonic!" Cream rushed into the house.
"What's wrong, Cream?" she gasped for air.
"Dr. Eggman...Shadow..."
"What?" Sonic ran outside. No one was there. The others came from behind. "Cream? Where's Shadow?" Cream started to cry. Amy tried to calm her. Rouge walked up to Sonic with Knuckles.
"Not again..."
"He must have gone voluntarily." Knuckles said.
"Why's that?"
"No signs of struggle. And it couldn't have been out of surprise in baud daylight."
"Good point..."
"But why?" Sonic asked.
"It's my fault! It's all my fault!" Cream cried.
"Omega?" the robot turned to Sonic from where he stood with Tails. "Do you sense them?"
"Negative."
"Damn."
"What should we do?" Tails asked.
"We wait."
"We have to see Shadow's next move." Rouge explained.
"But what if Eggman does something to Shadow again?" Tails asked.
"He won't. He wants Shadow for something." Knuckles told him.
"We should have seen this coming." Sonic said. "We should have known Eggman was gunna come back."
Shadow and Eggman were at the base Eggman stepped out of his machine and they walked through the halls and into one of the many rooms.
"I'm sorry...everyone..." Shadow thought as he held the necklace.
"Shadow, here's what you have to do. Get all the chaos emeralds."
"What are you going to use them for?"
"You'll see."
"This isn't another idea to rule the world, is it?"
"Something like that. But I promise not to hurt them. Now, I have to go prepare the rest of my plan." Eggman walked away.
Shadow knew where all the chaos emeralds were, except one. They were all with the master emerald, which meant he would have to go back. They had gathered them when they were on ARK. Shadow currently walked through the streets of Station Square. He could hear people talking.
"Look at him!"
"Isn't he that renegade hedgehog?"
"Don't get near him!"
'Please...don't...look at me...' he thought. He came to the train station and stepped on to head to the house. He began to hesitate when he was in the Mystic Ruins. 'I'm doing this for them..." Shadow shut his eyes for a second then began to walk towards the workshop.
Shadow now stood outside facing the door. Maybe it was best if they didn't know he was there, he didn't think he could face them right now, he didn't even want to face himself. Shadow opened the door and wondered through the house quietly. It wasn't long before he was at Knuckles' door. 'I'm so sorry..." Shadow felt like his heart would bleed from pain but he continued into the room.
There stood the master emerald and the chaos emeralds. He gathered the emeralds up then said, "Chaos...control..." he disappeared from the room.
He was now back at the base wondering where the other emerald was. He remembered he had had it when he fell from ARK but where was it now? Maybe Big had it...He decided to go look but since Bug didn't know that he was missing, Shadow decided to ask Big if he had it.
Shadow held one emerald from the group and used chaos control to come to Big's house. Shadow went up to the door and knocked; Big answered.
"Shadow! It's good to see you!"
"Big, I came to ask you if you have something."
"Oh? What's that?"
"A green emerald..."
"Yes. I found one today while I was fishing. Same place I found you. Is it yours?" Shadow nodded. "Let me get it for you." Big walked away only to come back a few minutes later with the emerald. "Here you are." he gave it to Shadow.
"Thank you. I have to go now."
"Ok. See you later." Shadow ran away and into the forest, out of Big's sight. Shadow leaned against a tree.
"I don't want to do this...but if I don't Eggman will hurt them." he said to himself. "The thing I wanted to say while I fell from ARK...was..."
