Rouge slammed open the door.
"Shadow! Your still alive right?" Rouge yelled.
Shadow was breathing slowely.
"Very little Rouge.." He answered.
Rouge sat right next to him holding his hand.
"Sorry your gonna be alone.." Shadow said in a raspy voice.
"I wont be alone. I know you'll always be with me." Rouge said with tears in his eyes.
Shadow couldn't move anymore.
He took his last breath in a sentence.
"Take care...friend.." He whispered. And he stopped breathing.
Rouge had tears running down her face like a rolled coaster.
"She never let go of Shadow's hand...
Shadow was floating no where. In a bright light he never understand..A flash took over his body. And then it was dark.
He opened his eyes and found himself wearing a bright white gown, and some small wings.
"What the.."
He had a tiara floating above his head.
"I ...I'm actually dead.." Shadow said. He was speechless after a few minutes.
He looked up far away and saw a staire of clouds to a golden gate.
"Could that be...I-I gotta get up there!" He said in a higher voice. He hovered up to the gate and was eiger to see what was u there. He didn't see where he was going and rammed into another angel.
"Watch it bub!" He threatened.'
Shadow got up and brushed his silky gown.
He felt a deep sinking feeling at the pit of his stomach. Nothing like facing the horrifing time of judgement, Ofcourse, he didn't know so much about it. Untell he was the one facing it.
"Shadow..the hedgehog. Come forward!" The loud voice yelled from ahead.
Shadow felt his hand shaking. He quickly grabbed it to make it stop.
He walked in front of a bright white thrown.
"Shadow the hedgehog..The one who people would fear and say is the ultimate life form..Interesting.." The voice said.
Shadow walked forward.
"Let us see here...Destroy the town from someone by the name of Black doom?" He asked.
Shadow nodded.
"Taking over the world..And yet...Most unfortunet..." The Lord spoke.
Shadow scratched the back of his head.
"Interesting. Yet you seem to help the world. Twice now...Along side with Sonic the hedgehog. How very...Well good." He said smling.
Shadow felt some hope in him.
"Uhem, why should you come into Heaven Shadow?" He asked more seriouse.
Shadow looked to the ground..
" I..I dunno...I never really thought about it.." He said.
The lord was silent.
"What makes you think you can come into my kingdom?" He asked.
Shadow didn't say anything.
"I understand how you had trouble back there. And some good times as well. But your going to have to answere my question.." He said again.
Shadow looked up at him.
"I don't think I deserve to..but unless I turn my life your way...Maybe. Just maybe..I could-"
"Indeed young one. You have figured it out. Very well now. As long as you answere this. Do you love me?" Lord asked.
Shadow walked closer.
"Yes.." He answered.
"And are you willing to fallow the right way?" He asked again.
Shadow nodded.
"Welcome my son. You are home." He said opening the gate.
Shadow's eyes got big and wide.
The sunlight from Heaven shined on his face. He saw little kids running around laughing. He say foods a fruite laying around. Healthy green trees and grass. Bright blue skies. Roads pathed with silver. And walls with gold.
He looked around hopeing to find a certain someone. He looked around Heaven. (Even though there is no end to it)
Lord walked behind him.
"What are you looking for son?" He asked.
"I'm looking for a friend of mine.." He answered sighish.
"What is his or her name?"
Shadow turned to him.
"Her names, Maria Robitnick." He answered.
Lord smiled.
"One of my best angels. She's bye the glittering river." He said smiling. He walked away to his thrown.
Shadow looked ahead and saw the glittering river.
He hovered over to the end of it. He saw a young girl taking a drink. Shadow quickly hid behind a tree.
"That's her...Now.I..gotta make sure I look good. My hair ok.."
He brushed it back and brushed his gown. Polished his tiara. He took a deep breath and stepped ahead of the tree.
Maria still didn't see him. She thought had to turn around to the otherside of the river. When she saw a small black figure.
"Whos there?" She asked.
Shadow came out from under the shadow of the tree. His gown was shining in the eyes of Maria.
"Hey wait..I remember you. Your...Shadow the hedgehog.." Maria said in a joyfull voice. Her eyes lit up with tears.
"Maria..I took a big sacrafice for the world twice..I kept your promise for as long as I could." He said smiling.
Maria felt weak in the knees and ran over with open arms and hugged her furry friend.
"I missed your Maria.." Shadow whispered.
"I missed you to Shadow. I have been watching you on earth. I couldn't be more proud." She said with tears flowing.
Shadow smiled up at her and kept hugging her.
"I'm glad your hear.."
"So am I.."
