Chapter 5: Darth Nader

Ralph, That Is

Shadow had just finished the 43rd round of Nobody Know The Trouble I've Seen, when a ship flew over his head. It was Emperor Eggman's ship, which means he was rescued. The Emperor walked over to him and examined him. "Get the first aid kit! We're going to need a lot of bandages!" Shadow (who didn't feel up to being called Darth Nader right now) looked up with a sad face.

Sonic watched as the robotic doctors as they tested Padamy. "I wonder what's wrong with her…" he said. Chao-da walked in and looked at the testing, "Tragic this day has been. Time to heal she needs." Sonic looked at Chao-da, "Those are some powerful words!" Chao-da turned to him, "Not really…got it out of a book I did!" Sonic seemed a little disappointed, "Oh…"

Shadow was lying on a table when he woke up. "What's going on?" Eggman was standing right next to him, "We're fixing you! You're getting a suit to help keep you alive!" Shadow looked at him, "Okay…but it better not have any girly stuff on it, like a smiley face or ponies!" Eggman gave him a face like: "Uh-Oh…better take of the smiley face and ponies!"

Shadow lie there doing nothing, waiting for the robots to finish with his suit. He started humming…then broke out into song, "99 bottle of coke on the wall, 99 bottles of coke…" The singing stopped immediately, because Eggman had knocked him out using a frying pan. While Shadow was out like a light, Eggman took off the smiley face sticker. Then, a mask came down and latched onto Shadow's helmet.

"She's about to have a baby!" The doctor robot exclaimed. Sonic went into the room, "Do you here that, Padamy? You and Shadow are going to have a baby! Well, you are, Shadow didn't come back to the good side." Sonic looked down at the floor. Just a second later, a baby's cry was heard. "It's a boy!" The doctor said. Padamy looked at her new baby boy, "Luke." she said. A minute or so later, another baby could be heard. The doctor yelled, "Twins! This one's a girl!" Padamy said, "Leia." With that, she was dead.

Shadow finally woke up again, now in his full suit. "Where's-my voice has changed! Cool!" He decided to test his new voice out, "Luke, I am your father!" He looked around, "I always wanted to say that!" Eggman just stared at him. Shadow started again, "Okay! Where's Padamy?" Eggman looked at him, "I'm afraid…you killed her!" Shadow stared at Eggman wide-eyed (no one could tell because you couldn't see his eyes behind the mask). "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he cried. He was so mad, he killed some robots by just looking at them. He cried again, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Sonic took the babies. "Oh you two are so cute! Yes you are, yes you are!" Chao-da got really annoyed by the baby talk, so he quickly interrupted, "Do something with the babies we must!" Sonic got serious again, "Yes sir! But what do we do with them?" "We have to give them to somebody, but have them separated." Sonic agreed. First, they had a meeting with the guy who helped save Chao-da.

"I'd love to take a baby! My wife and I have wanted a daughter for a very long time." The man exclaimed. "Good." said Chao-da, "Yours she is." Sonic got up, "I know of a family that would love to have the other baby!" Chao-da nodded, "Take the baby to them you will. Ways to contact your old master I have also." Sonic looked at Chao-da, "Knuckles? Why would I want to talk to an old loon like him?"

Sonic took Luke to the family that took care of Shadow's mother from Episode 2. "Do you remember that man whose mother belonged to you, and the woman that came with him?" "Yes," said the man, "Here's where they buried his mother!" Sonic looked at the grave. For some reason, something was missing. There was an imprint where a Frito had been. "Well, this is their boy. The mom died, and the dad is a bad guy, so will you look after this baby?" The couple agreed, and took Luke.

Sonic went off. He didn't know where he was going, but he rode around in his ship. Sonic never left Tatooine. As for Chao-da, he had to take a ship to the planet of Dagobah. He stayed there in hiding. Chao-da was never heard from again, but Sonic knew he was alive. Sonic never got in touch with his master, Knuckles. Thus ends our story…for at least thirty years, anyway!
