Ok, this is a long chapter, I just want to get this story out of the way.
Island 7 1:30 P.M. Day 2
"Ok people, let's move towards the center of the island, that's where Eggman and Dark Hedgehog are." They began their journey to the center of the island. Several hours passed by as they traveled across the vast jungle of Island 7. "How much further must we travel!" "Shut up Katrina, just deal with it." "What? Did you just tell me to shut up!" "People! Both of you, shut the fuck up right now!" No one said anything for an hour and a half. "Eye spy something with my eye... that's purple." "Pur- what the hell are you talking about? There's nothing purple in the middle of the jungle!" "Yes there is, right there by that tree." Tiffany rolled her eyes. "We... are... in... the... jungle! That... means... everything... is... green!" Knuckles looked over in the direction Katrina was pointing. "What the- that's a robot general!" The robot general suddenly stood up. "I am Sentinel 3, you are trespassing, prepare for punishment." His voice was flat and monotoned. "Just try it tin can!" "As you wish." Sentinel 3 stepped forward as a whole army followed. "Holy shit..." Axel, Shadow, let's go!" "I was hoping you would say that." Chaotica Shadow walked slowly towards the army, his head held just high enough for him to see. He then smiled and threw out his arm as the Chaos Sword appeared, he began to run after them as they sat, waiting for him to arrive. Then he finally began cutting everything in sight. Chaotical Axel was repeatedly freezing time and slowing the enemy, along with the new move; Challis, which sped up all allies. Sonix was healing and creating barriers around everyone. As for Knuckles and TR, they just did what they do best, punch the hell out of everything in sight. Tiffany of course followed this, except with her famous kicking abilities. Artail made the enemies dizzy and jumped on their head about 2 times per second, which made it a powerful move. It soon came down to just one robot; Sentinel 3. "Welcome to my nightmare!" Sentinel 3's eyes began to glow red, and he suddenly blew up with an explosion big enough to take out a whole city. Dust and trees alike became toys of the wind as they flew around at speeds of 35mph. When the smoke cleared, Sonix released a barrier that he had set up. Everyone was fine. Artail was now bouncing off the walls. "Now that was intense, I mean seeing an explosion from the inside..." "Artail, dude, calm down." "We're nearly there, once we reach the entrance, we'll camp out till tomorrow." A few more hours passed when they finally reached the entrance. "Ok, let's camp out here."
It is now 8:23 P.M. Day 2
Island 7 (Inside) 7:30 P.M. Day 2
"Eggman, we have reports of destruction of Sentinel 3." "And what of Sonic and his friends?" "They are still alive." "WHAT!" Eggman grabbed him by the face and dragged him two floors down to the cellars and threw him in. "You're gonna stay there till' you learn not to give me bad news!" Eggman never released him from the cellar.
It is now 7:42 P.M. Day 2
Island 7 9:35 A.M. Day 3
The group awoke late and got moving in less than ten minutes. "Let's move, I'm sure they're aware of our location by now." They moved down the stairs... then the ladders... then the elevator... then blasted through some doors... and finally got to the main hall. "Well that was an adventure." "Stop joking, it gets serious from here on out." Just then Eggman appeared. "Welcome to the Egg Domain! It is here where your grave shall be!" "Eggman, where is Dark Hedgehog!" "Leave him out of this, Sonic, this is between you and me..." Eggman looked at him funny. He had just realized he was no longer Sonic, but the light wielding Sonix. "Pipe down Eggman, your fight doesn't exist." It was Dark Hedgehog. "Well, I see you got past Eggman's robots with relative ease." Eggman snapped back. "I'll have you know my robots are..." "Oh give it a rest you oversized shit-bag. Chaotica Shadow... I bet you're proud of that name, aren't you? I..." "Brother... you will pay... you killed Axel's sister... you destroyed cities... you destroyed Island 6... you wiped out the entire Echidna race... and worst of all... you betrayed me." Chaotica Shadow's eyes were flickering. TR was looking at him weird. "Umm, Shadow, how did you know he wiped out the Echidna?" "Because... I was with him when he did it." Dark Hedgehog laughed. "So you finally remember." He gave an evil smile. Eggman was now the confused one. "How are you two..." Chaotica Shadow interrupted. "Your grandfather created both of us... but Dark Hedgehog went out of control, he crashed the entire lab, and almost brought down ARK. We were training when it happened. We were both charging up our Shadow Ball, when he broke the safety limits intentionally, and fired without warning, leaving me for dead. From that moment on, it was hard for me to trust anyone. After he attacked me, he killed the monitoring scientists, he said he'd rather die than be an experiment. But I knew we were much more than just an experiment, he wouldn't listen. He eventually jumped out of ARK, onto the earth, and disappeared. They decided it better to erase my memory, but somehow, I still stayed untrustworthy. And now, I can get revenge, for me, and for the world... it seems my promise to Maria has yet to be fulfilled, that will soon change." "You're wrong! We were nothing more than an experiment!" Dark Hedgehog was no longer his calm self, as if his former uncontrollable self had returned. "We were lab rats Shadow! You are so tied up with you're promises and loyalties, it's time to wake up from your fantasy! You have to realize..." Chaotica Shadow attacked him with his Chaos Sword. "SHUT UP, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND!" Chaotica Shadow was breathing extremely hard. Dark Hedgehog got up. "I don't care what you have, I'm way more powerful than you'll ever be!" Dark Hedgehog jumped and hovered in the air as he charged up a Shadow Ball. Chaotica Shadow followed this with the same move. But Chaotica Shadow's was no where near as powerful as Dark Hedgehog's. "You see brother, I am the ultimate life form! Do you know how hard it was to sit back and watch you babble on about how strong you were! Well now it's my turn... GO, MY SHADOW BALL OF DEATH!" As soon as the last word was said, it had already hit Chaotica Shadow. "Shadow!" Sonix went after Dark Hedgehog. An attack similar to the Shadow Ball was formed. Sonix's eyes went Jinzet. "Vengeance of Light!" The attack was released and hit Dark Hedgehog head on. He flew through four thick walls of steal. After a minute or two, he arose again. "So... you want pain and loss! You got it! Chaos Control!" He and Eggman disappeared. "Where did they go!" TR's face was suddenly struck with horror. "He went to... Emerald Island!" "What!" "We gotta move now!" "But how!" Everyone began yelling and arguing. "SHUT UP!" Sonix was the only calm one. "Have you guys forgotten I can use the Chaos Control?" "But what about Shadow?" Chaotica Shadow was laying there with no sign of life. "It's... too late for him... come on, let's go. Chaos Control!"
It is now 11:58 A.M. Day 3
Emerald Island 11:58 A.M. Day 3
When they arrived, the sky was completely dark, and there were holes that went all the way through the island everywhere. "NO! They damaged the island! If it falls it'll flood the whole earth!" "Ha ha ha ha ha!" "Dark Hedgehog, what are you planning to gain by this!" "Gain? Who said anything about gain? I'm going to kill everything, including myself." "What? Why!" "Because everyone deserves death! And those who deal death, deserve death themselves!" "You're a psycho!" "Maybe so." He looked over to his left. There lied Eggman in terrible pain. "He tried to stop me." Eggman had a broken arm, and seemed to be paralyzed. Without warning, Dark Hedgehog attacked Katrina, then Artail, then Tiffany. "Tiffany!" Tails charged toward him and kicked him, but it seemed to have no effect. Dark Hedgehog grabbed Tails' leg and through him into the Emerald Shrine, making it crumble to the ground. Then he went after TR and Knuckles, but missed. He attacked again and got a direct hit. And then went for Chaotical Axel. He had done all this in mere seconds. Before he could get to Sonix, Sonix had an attack of his own. "Light Bomb!" Dark Hedgehog flew back a few feet. Sonix than healed his friends. "Chaos of Memories!" The group was healed but still exhausted. Dark Hedgehog got a cheap shot and punched him into a cliff side. "I told you to shut up!" Chaotical Shadow had appeared and punched Dark Hedgehog into the ground so hard, he was dug in a good mile. "I was wondering when you'd get up." "Sonic, let's do this shit! Axel, get ready!" Chaotical Shadow and Sonix both used Chaos Control, and appeared where Chaotical Axel was standing. A bright light that kept changing colors was formed. Until it finally stood still in a new color; Jinzet, the color of chaos. Then out of no where a new being sped out of the smoke and knocked Dark Hedgehog off of the island. "You are wrong Dark Hedgehog, you are not the ultimate life form... I AM THE ULTIMATE LIFEFORM; AND YOU CAN CALL ME, THE HEDGEHOG OF CHAOS!" They had combined using an Emerald Fusion. The island shook as he powered up and went down after Dark Hedgehog, knocking him almost through the island. The Hedgehog of Chaos soon followed, and Dark Hedgehog erupted out of the island as the Hedgehog of Chaos still chased, not leaving a moment without pain. "FOR ALL THE PEOPLE YOU'VE KILLED, FOR ALL THE PAIN YOU'VE CAUSED..." He looked at his hands as powered up again. "I WILL MAKE YOU PAY!" Hedgehog of Chaos kicked Dark Hedgehog so hard off of the floating island, that some of the Mainland was forced under water when he hit the ground. When he got back up, Hedgehog of Chaos was Jinzet as he charged up still more. While charging, projectiles that looked like emeralds were flying every which way at a rapid rate, creating small explosions where ever they hit. Then, when he was done charging, he unleashed a devastating attack. "PURE CHAOS!" The Super Master Emerald appeared in front of them as it fired a huge Jinzet beam almost the size of the island at Dark Hedgehog. Yet the Emerald Island seemed to be unaffected by it. Then, out of nowhere, the three separated. In place of where they once were was the Jinzet colored Super Master Emerald. As the three were recovering from the attacking rage, Dark Hedgehog used every last ounce of his energy with a Chaos Control, and was suddenly with the Super Master Emerald. Knuckles looked up and saw what he was doing. "NOOOOOOO!" "HMMHUAAAAAA! YOU FOOLS!" Dark Hedgehog had used the Super Master Emerald to charge and transform into Ultimate Hedgehog. His eyes were Jinzet, and his voice was deep, like that of a god. He flew down faster than anything they had seen and created one big mile long hole in the island. "At this rate the island will hit the water in only 10 minutes!" "ENOUGH, YOU HAVE BEEN MESSING WITH MY AFFAIRS FOR FAR TOO LONG!" The wind began to blow at an increasingly high rate. He stared at his hands as they began to glow, with an almost scary smile. At first he was speeding towards them, then time seemed to slow down. You see could see waves form around him as he forced his way through the broken sound barrier. Everything was darkened, as if a tint had been put over the world. Ultimate Hedgehog was using his new found elemental powers. Every punch seemed to have a multiplied effect. Soon everyone was lying on the ground. "CHAOS PUNCH!" Ultimate Hedgehog jumped up in real time, yet as he came down, time once again slowed down. When he touched the ground, he punched it as well at the same time. Rocks and ruble began to fly upward from the ground around him in slow motion. Soon a huge black wave was released, blowing everyone up into the air. Once everyone was at the height of their fall, time was suddenly returned to normal as they began their hard descent. Sonic, Shadow, and Axel were the only ones left capable of fighting, and they no longer had the Elemental Emeralds, as they were fused to create the Super Master Emerald. TR was setting himself into an upright position when he suddenly got an idea. "Sonic, get the Master Emerald!" Sonic knew exactly what he was thinking. "Right!" Ultimate Hedgehog overheard this. "YOU CANNOT ESCAPE YOUR FATE, YOU WILL ALL DIE!" Sonic; ignoring Ultimate Hedgehog, went through one of the holes that had penetrated the impenetrable Royal Chamber, and got the Master Emerald. When he brought it up to the surface, only he, Axel, Shadow, and Ultimate Hedgehog were standing. They all stood there staring as the wind still increased it's speeds. Sonic then used the Master Emerald to power up. "Axel, Shadow, use the Maser Emerald, it's not much, but it will give you enough power to use an elemental power once." They did as he said while Ultimate Hedgehog sat back and waited impatiently, knowing that their plan wouldn't work. "Now then, let's do this!" Sonic jumped up and hit Ultimate Hedgehog into one of the holes. "Now!" Axel used his time attack. "Chaos Freeze!" Ultimate Hedgehog wasn't effected by it fully, but was still slowed down. Then Sonic used his power. "Chaos of Memories!" Sonic revived the island so that Ultimate Hedgehog was stuck inside. "Now Shadow, finish it!" "Brother... allow me to prove to you why I am and will always be, closer to the ultimate life form than you'll ever become! Chaotic Darkness!" Everything went dark and cold. But this time it was stronger than usual, it was so cold that the ground began to freeze. When the ground was completely frozen, he released it. Axel was on the ground weak. "Ummm, guys, I can't hold this freeze much longer!" They looked down. The freeze was keeping the island from hitting the water, which was only 7 feet away. Shadow and Sonic looked at each other and had suddenly become calm. Just like old times huh." "Yep." They used the Master Emerald to go super. Then they flew to the bottom of the island. "Hurry up guys!" Then together, they shouted. "CHAOS CONTROL!"... ... ... ... Everything was gone, then, appeared in it's original position, Emerald Island was restored to it's rightful place, the shrine rebuilt, and the Master Emerald in it's destined place, inside the shrine. Sonic soon got to the top of the island, Axel was lying on the ground barely alive. Everyone else was spread out over Emerald Plains. Eggman was nowhere to be seen. "Where's Shadow?" Sonic looked away. "Maybe he's..." "No, he died, I saw him drown. He... he told me not to save him." Above them the Super Master Emerald was hovering, then suddenly fell and separated into the three Elemental Emeralds. Knuckles picked them up. "I'm going to put these in the Royal Chamber." "No, wait." Knuckles turned around. "What?" "We should use the Emerald of Light to restore Island 6."

Emerald Island 4:45 P.M. Day 368
"Welcome everyone, to our first anniversary in remembrance of Shadow the Hedgehog." One by one, they paid their respects and left flowers next to the Chaos Emerald that he used. Sonic looked up at the cliff that he was knocked into by Dark Hedgehog last year, when he thought he saw the outline of a familiar being in the sunlight. "Huh? Is that... heh." He smiled and looked away as if it were nothing, and whispered, well aware of who was listening. "Until next time... Shadow." Sonic swore he could have heard him reply. "I'm sorry... but it's not time yet, not yet."
It is now 5:00 P.M. Day 368
