============= Angel Island
Two months since they came back for their honeymoon. All was good and peaceful...well not now at least, Rouge woke up to banging hammers and people yelling insults at each other or should I say hedgehogs?
As she sat up and couldn't help but smile, she did as she placed a hand on her stomach. We'll it was happing; Rouge was going to have a baby.
The entire ruckus came for hammers as they needed to build another room for the baby. The insults came from Sonic and Shadow. Knuckles walked in to check on his wife to make sure that she was alright.
"Hey, how ya doin'" He asked walking closer and giving her a quick kiss. "Oh I'm fine." She answered "SHUT UP FAKER AND WORK!!" "SCREW YOU! I'LL DO THIS MY WAY!!" It was close by since the room was being built into the house.
Knuckles and Rouge both sighed "How long have they been at it?" She asked "Hmm I say since we started." He smiled. Tails knocked on the door "Hey Knux we need your help out here Sonic and Shadow are about to have another sword fight with chainsaws again." Tails sighed.
"Alright I'm coming..." He left giving Rouge a kiss.
Outside sparks few as the battle between Shadow and Sonic raged on, blood fell as Sonic cut off Shadow's arm, Shadow threw the chainsaw at him killing—Oh wait wrong script sorry!
"Alright that's it faker!" Shadow yelled as he revved up his chainsaw "Yea you wish! I say—" Sonic stop as Rouge walk by in her nightgown "Hey boys." Both of them dropped the chainsaws. "Ahem!" They both were looking at Knuckles. "Yea...you should be working; not having sword fights or looking at my wife in her gown! That is unless you like to end up in the hospital." Sonic and Shadow knew when it came to Rouge, Knuckles was never playing around.
Sonic unfortunately not having enough of a brain asked "How come we have to do this and not get paid." Knuckles only smirked "Well one reason is Amy and Cindy made you do it and some help of my fist were required."
"Oh yea that's right." Sonic walked back to place and went to work. Shadow stayed away from him and began saw something.
Tails was next to Knuckles. "Hey Knux why do we have to do this by hand when we could use my robots to do the wo—" Knuckles cupped his mouth in hope of Sonic and Shadow didn't hear them. "Tails it's more fun having those two the work. And besides we're not doing the work they are common let's get a soda." "Okay." "Hey where are you guys going?!" Sonic asked outraged that they weren't working. "To get a soda." Knuckles answered. "Can I have one?" Sonic asked on his knees begging "No now back to work slave!" Knuckles pointed to a hammer and some nails.
They came back "Hey Sonic, Shadow." Knuckles tossed a soda to each but Sonic not paying attention let his hit him on the head "What the hell!? Knuckles you asshole why'd you do that!" Knuckles would have shot something back but a loud scream, was heard.
It seemed to come from the shrine but Chaos was watching it.
The four ran toward the shrine.
=============El Shrineo
Chaos was on his knees yelling and holding his head. Tikal was by his side "Tikal what's wrong with him?" Knuckles yelled "I don't know!" They were yelling tying to get through the Chaos's yells.
He seemed to be in pain but what was it? There was no one harming him. Just Chaos yelling grew louder as his eyes began changing color. His green eyes became red and then yellow then back to green. Each second passing his pain seemed to grow as did his screams "Dang what is wrong with him?!" Shadow yelled.
Chaos's blue body changed as well white, to black, and blue again. Chaos's left body side began to stretch out and let out white version of him but white with yellow eyes...the right side did the same and let out black one with red eyes.
The two new Chaos's look at each other and narrowed their eyes. The blue Chaos was completely on the ground. "Chaos!" Tikal said trying to find out what's wrong with him. The black one charged at the white throwing a punch, knocking it into a wall. The white did nothing, the black threw another punch but hit the wall as the white one dodged it. The two fought breaking many walls, knocking down trees.
"Common we to stop them before they destroy this island." Knuckles said running toward the fighting Chaos's. Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles pinned down the black one. "Who are you?!" Sonic yelled "You're real smart Sonic, he can't talk." Shadow said rolling his eyes "Ha! Stupid hedgehog!" The black pushed them off with ease. He ran off the ledge and glided away.
They all looked at the white one who stood there, didn't fight or say anything. "Who are you?!" Sonic said pointing a finger at it. "My name is Peace." The voice had a female tone "Peace? What's going on?" Knuckles asked her/it "This may get confusing. So try and listen." She walked over to the shrine and Chaos "What's wrong with him?" Tikal asked Peace "Don't worry give him some time he'll come back." Peace took a seat at the shrine.
"Well you see I am composed of Chaos's positive energies and Darkness is composed of Chaos's negative energies. And Chaos could not deal with those energies anymore and the only way to get rid of it was to give them their own vessels and so I was created, and unfortunately Darkness as well, and now he is free to do as he pleases." "And what is left of Chaos, since you are his positive and Darkness is his negative, what is Chaos." Knuckles asked looking at Chaos "Well he is still the same as always, I guess you can call him neutral." Sonic raised his hand "Yes?" "Yea can you explain all this in my language?"
Shadow just looked at him and sighed "What does Amy see in you." "Good looks! Something you don't have!" Shadow glared at him "Yea right I'm way better looking then you! Faker!" "Yea right ask Knux, Knux! Who's better looking me or him?!" Knuckles backed away "Sorry man, I don't judge guys man." Sonic pulled out his cell phone "Fine we'll call someone, Amy!" "No way faker! She'll say you when it's not true!" "So, it's true and it proves that I'm better!" Peace looked at Knuckles and Tails "Do they always argue?" "Oh yea!" Knuckles said in union with Tails.
"Look I got to go do something, and Knuckles can I talk to you for a sec?" Shadow said. Knuckles walked with him.
===============Station Square
Shadow has just come out of a 'special' store (Not that type you sick readers.) He headed down the street carrying his small brown bag. One year and six months and he thought maybe it was time. Everyone knew what he was planning that is except for Cindy.
Samantha walked by his side. A year and two months now, she couldn't speak in full sentences but knew how to say daddy and mommy and other things. She always called Shadow daddy, since he was the one taking care of her. Sonic was referred to as an uncle even though he was the biological father. Cindy was like her mom and so she called her mommy.
Samantha tugged on Shadow's arm "What is it Samantha?" He asked lifting her up, she pointed to an ice-cream store "You want to get ice-cream?" He asked; she nodded.
He walked over to the door and entered. He set her down and walked over to the counter "Espio?" He could break out laughing at Espio in an apron "Shut up Shadow! What do you what?" Espio asked "Give me, on a baby cone vanilla ice-cream." "Why a baby cone? Are you getting fat?!" He gasped "No you idiot! It's for Samantha!" He said pointing to her on a chair swinging her feet.
"Oh here you go." He said giving him the cone and noticed the brown bag "Shadow what are you hiding in that bag?!" "Oh this? It's for Cindy." He said pulling out a dark blue velvet box "Ah! You're gonna do it! Wow! Shadow The Ultimate Life Form is getting married." "Espio she hasn't said yes yet so she may or may not." Espio raised an eyebrow "Please! Of course she'll say yes, man she's nuts over you!"
Shadow had given Samantha her ice-cream.
Just then the windows broke and flew in cutting Shadow on his left arm, it was big but it wasn't lethal "Ah..." He said gripping the wound. He quickly took Samantha in his arm and protected her. A white hedgehog exactly like Shadow except with black stripes appeared in front of them. In hover shoes as well. "Shadow..." He said "Espio! Take Samantha and get outta here!" He said giving her to him, he ran out. The white hedgehog pulled out a Chaos Emerald it was a black one with a glowing white center. "Chaos strike!" He yelled as black lighting bolt aimed for Shadow but he managed to dodge it.
"Who are you?!" The figure chuckled "I'm Light. The Ultimate Life Form." "No your not I am!" "No, you are not because the Ultimate Life Form has no weakness!" Shadow looked at Light "I have none!" "Ah but you do...your emotions, emotions are your weakness." He shot another lighting bolt at him but no damage.
"What do you want?!" Shadow shouted "I'm here to get you! Presidents orders." Shadow was shocked the president what could he want with him? "I'm not coming!" "Oh but you are, just wait before today ends I get you." He said and left.
"I need to talk to Rouge maybe she can help me." He left taking his bag.
==================Shadow's House
Shadow dialed Espio's number "Yeah who's this?" Espio said "Espio can you bring Samantha to my house now." "Yea I'll be their in five." They hung up.
He now dialed Rouge cell phone number "This is Rouge speaking." "Rouge, its Shadow."
"Oh hey Shadow! What do you need?" Their was a knock at his door, he answer still talking "Do you know anything about a hedgehog named Light and claims to be the Ultimate Life Form?" "Shadow what are you talking about? Theirs no one...oh god...Project: Light...so that's what it is! Shadow I'll call you back!" She hung up.
Shadow opened the door and Espio was in pain "Ow! God let go of my horn! Ow! Stop!" Samantha was tugging on his horn, really hard "He- he!" She giggled "Okay that's enough Samantha, come on." Shadow took Samantha in his arms "Bye-bye!" She waved, as Espio rubbed his hurt horn "Yeah bye..." He left.
His phone rang; he got it "Hello?" It was Cindy "Hey Cindy, what's up?" "Oh nothing, hey can I come over?" "Sure, any reason why?" "Not really, I got nothing to do, so I thought maybe I could see you two." "That's fine." And the hanging up began.
Shadow let Samantha go to her room and play, he look at his brown bag. There was silence during the time he was staring at "Maybe when she comes..." He said quietly.
"Daddy!!" Samantha yelled, Shadow sighed "I'm coming." He walked up the steps. He saw her trying to reach for her teddy bear on a shelf too high for her to reach. "Here you go." He reached for the bear and gave her the bear; she giggled and took it "Thank you." He smiled. The door bell rang, (You know I would love to write this with a smartass door, but this ain't a random humor so sadly I can't.....)
He walked down the steps and passed the brown bag, he looked at it, and got nervous, was she ready for it? Would she even want to? He went forward. He answered the door.
It was Sonic? "Sonic what are you doing here?" Shadow asked, Sonic was panting "Amy...I need a...place to hide...she wants to talk...about babies!" He said in between gasps for air, Shadow rolled his eyes "Sorry I can't." "What!?" He shut the door "OH COMMON SHADOW QUIT BEING A—" "SONIC!!" It was Amy; Shadow saw through the window, Sonic ran away with Amy hot on his tail.
He couldn't help but laugh, He saw Cindy come to the door. And answered it "Hey." She smiling and coming in "Hey." He responded back and followed her as she walked into the kitchen "What are you doing?" He said chuckling.
"Well, knowing you Shadow The Hedgehog, its lunch time and I bet you haven't fed Samantha." "Yeah, but she just got here." "Oh? Were was she—Shadow? What happened to your arm?!" She looked at his left arm, and ran over to it and got a better looked at it "Cindy it's nothing I'll deal with it later." He said rolling his eyes, she kept looking at it; his fur around it was dried up with blood.
"Shadow, look at it, it's very big...we need to clean it." Shadow groaned "Why? I'll just wash it then." But she walked away, and came back with alcohol, Shadow's eyes grew big she place his arm on the table and pinned it down as he squirmed to get away "Cindy, what are you going to do with that?" He hated alcohol, the pain it brought "Clean your wound what else?" She said pouring a small amount onto a nearby napkin. "Cindy don't—AHHH!" He screamed as she cleaned the wound with the napkin, the alcohol stung. He clenched his fist and closed his eyes tightly.
Samantha came down half way down the steps to see what the screaming was all about. "Mommy?!" She smiled and came down as fast she could "Mommy!" She hugged Cindy's leg "Hi honey." Samantha look at Shadow "Daddy what wrong?" Shadow kept his eyes closed "Oh Shadow! Quit being a baby!" Cindy rolled her eyes, and wrapped the wound in a cloth.
It was over the pain was gone, Shadow sighed. Cindy crouched down to Samantha's level "Are you hungry?" Samantha nodded "Yes." Cindy looked at Shadow narrowed her eyes and put a hand on her hip "What!? Did I do something?!" He said "Yeah, why don't you feed her she's hungry!" "I bought her some ice-cream." "That's not lunch! She needs to eat real food." She walked over to the refrigerator and pulled out ham, cheese, and got some bread. "So how did you get cut on your arm?" She said making a ham and cheese sandwich.
"Some hedgehog, who looked exactly like me, tried to attack me while I was getting Samantha ice-cream, and I gave her to Espio who work there, he left and so I came here and called Rouge because he said the president sent him, and maybe she would know but she said she'd call me back. And Espio just brought her, which is why I couldn't make her any lunch." He said getting up.
"Oh..." She said give Samantha her sandwich. Shadow walked over to into the living room and got the velvet box.
He came in and hid it and kissed her, as Samantha went up stairs to play more. Cindy broke the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. She smiled "I love you." Shadow smiled back "I love you more." "Oh really?" She said and kissed him again, this time Shadow broke off and got ready to make his move.
He back away and pulled out the small box and took a knee and open the box. Cindy gasped as she saw the engagement ring (I'm not going into details; I'm not good with rings.)
He cleared his throat.
=====================I'm gonna be mean to you! Angel Island!
Knuckles was on the steps of the shrine when Rouge came to him "Knuckles, I'm going to go out for a while, but I'll be back before dinner so don't cook anything." Knuckles raised an eyebrow "I don't cook anymore, so don't worry."
"Alright, bye." She kissed him, and glided off Angel Island.
=============White House
Ah yes, hey do you think I should name the president Bush? Any way! Rouge walked down the aisle and came to big wooden double doors.
She opened them and entered.
"Hello, you wanted to speak to me, Rouge?" The president said signing some papers "Yeah, I wanted to talk about Project: Light." She said coming closer to the desk.
He raised an eyebrow "What about Project: Light?" "Why did you have me do research for it and only on weapons. What is Project: Light exactly?" The president shook his head "I can't tell you anymore then what you are told, it's classified for a reason."
"Oh like the fact that you're using Gerald Robotnik's original blue prints for Shadow The Ultimate Life Form to create a new one named Light!? I found out why you had me do all that research. One to have him have the ability to use any weapon given, and that report on the Chaos Emerald and The Master Emerald I gave you, you used them to create you own new experimental Chaos Emerald!? Do you know you're messing with things that could kill us all?! And if that wasn't enough, you sent this new one to capture Shadow? Why, why the lies, why the cover up, why do you even need him, why did you even have him created? He could turn on you and destroy us all!"
The president nodded "I know Rouge, that's why we are taking all necessary precautions." Rouge glared at him "What about Shadow?" Shadow was like her brother, the president relaxed "Don't worry, we wont hurt him." She slammed her fist on table "Call him off; you have Light isn't that enough?" "No, we need Shadow, with him we can study him to find out what weaknesses Light is exposed to. And that is what we need him for, studying." Rouge glared at him "Call him off, leave Shadow alone he is happy now and you do anything to ruin it, oh you'll be sorry!"
The president looked her "Rouge we can't keep canceling projects after projects just because you don't like it." He yelled but she was gone.
=======================Station Square
Rouge pulled her cell phone and called Shadow.
"Hello?" It was Cindy's voice "Cindy? What are you doing there?" "Oh my god Rouge! You'll never guess what happened, Shadow asked me to marry him!" She pulled the phone away from hear sensitive ears "Wow, that's great, speaking of Shadow can I talk to him?"
"Yeah of course hold on." She was thrilled that she was going to be a bride. Shadow was now talking.
"Yeah Rouge?" He said "Hey you, so you finally did it! Wait till Sonic finds out!" "Rouge, don't ruin my moment, so did find anything about Light."
Rouge's voice was now at a sad tone "Yeah, Shadow their after you for study, I don't know what else to say but I think we to watch our backs with those experimental emeralds, and Darkness out there, Eggman who's been quiet and I know he's planning something and Light who based on your original blue prints, we're in for one hell of a war..."
