"Shadow! Shadow we have an emergency!" Tails yelled.
Shadow stopped watching TV and turned his attention to Tails..
"Remember when you asked me to examine you yesterday?" Tails asked.
Shadow nodded.
"Well I figured it out. Black Doom shot you with a laser that not normaly hurts you. But will, seeing how its a death ray." Tails said.
Shadow did a gasp.
"Those are real?" Shadow asked skipping the point,
Tails gave him a deadly stare.
"Yes! And you will die in 3 days.." Tails whispered.
Shadow felt his heart getting heavier.
"Thanks for the heads up Tails.." Shadow said. His whole body was shaking.
He got up.
"No! I can't die. It's happened before. And I-I came back. The ultimate lifeform doesn't die," Shadow said feeling confident.
"Shadow...There is nothing you can do." Tails said with tears in his eyes.
Shadow was silent. He felt like this was all sudden...Which it was.
"Isn't there a cure?" Shadow asked.
Tails looked at the results.
"Well you know me Shadow..I could find a way. But who knows how long it will take me. And you only have 3 days." Tails reminded.
Shadow lowered his arms.
"Maybe I'll see Maria..." Shadow said.
"Don't worry Shadow, even for you. I'll get to work!" Tails said in his go voice.
He ran to his workshop.
'Shadow. I-I couldn't help over hearing." Rouge stammered.
Shadow felt tears in his eyes again.
"Is it safe to say?" Shadow asked.
Rouge nodded.
"Well ok...Why must the good die young?" Shadow asked.
Rouge patted Shadow's back.
