10/9/21

Shadow was running through Station Square thinking about the day Sonic gave her life when it should've been him.

We read the wind and the sky

They closed their eyes and harness the Chaos Emeralds' power to achieve their super forms.

When the sun is high

Then they appeared outside, ready to take on the Final Lizard and dodged a laser beam it fired from its mouth.

"Let's give it our best shot!" he said.

"All right! We can go in at full speed and finish it off." Super Sonic said.

They damaged to the Final Lizard.

We sail the length of the seas

The space colony ARK the Final Lizard fired three lasers from its mouth at once. They powered easily avoid them, then target the giant lizard's back simultaneously. Even though the Final Lizard was beaten, the space station continued toward Earth. It started to become engulfed in flames as it entered Earth's atmosphere.

"You're stopping right here!" Super Sonic said.

They used all their might to try and push the space station back into space. Then they heard the cheers of their friends.

"You can do it, Sonic!" Tails said.

"Give it all you got, Shadow!" Eggman said.

"If you fail, the entire planet will be destroyed!" Rouge said.

"Tough it out, you guys!" Knuckles said.

"You can do it!" Amy said.

"We know you can!" Cream said.

"Sonic!" Chris said.

Then he heard something.

"Those people need you, Shadow..." Maria said.

He got ready but Super Sonic beat him to it.

"I am Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog!" Sonic said and took off her necklace, greatly intensifying her strength. "You ready?"

'She's the same thing as me.' he thought and nodded.

They prepared their most powerful move.

"Chaos!" he said.

"Control!" Super Sonic said.

In a brilliant display of light, they used Chaos Control to send the colony back into orbit but Sonic was nowhere to be seen. The timer was frozen at 00:00:50:29.

"Anastasia, Sam... I did it... for you..." Sonic said.

On the ocean breeze

He entered the Viewport.

"Shadow!" Chris, Tails and Amy said.

He said nothing busy thinking about what he just found out. Chris walked over to him.

"Where's Sonic?" he asked.

He shook his head then handed Chris Sonic's necklace.

"Y'know, maybe Professor Robotnik wanted you to stop his crazy plan all along." Rouge said.

"No." he said and they all looked at him. "Sonic was created by someone named Anastasia to do something for someone named Sam." he said shocking them all. "We'll never know what exactly happened. But in the end, she sacrificed everything to save us all."

Chris started to silently cry and one of his tears fell on the necklace.

"She sure did."

He pat him on the back.

"Come on, kid. Let's head back. Space is fine, but makes me see my past." he said.

"The rocket's ready! It's time to go!" Tails said fighting tears.

As the group left the room and the lights dim, he took one last look at the room and the view of Earth.

"Sayonara, Sonic the Hedgehog..." he said.

At night we name every star

Then he stopped and looked at the town.

He had taken her place to protect people like Maria wanted him to.

Tails hadn't left his Workshop for two weeks, Amy hadn't stopped crying along with Cream and Cheese, Knuckles was upset along with Rouge who had trouble at work.

"Where are you Sonic?" he whispered.

Then he started running home.

We know where we are

On his way home he heard something, turned around ended to town for another fight.

We know who we are, who we are

When he got there he raised his left hand.

"CHAOS SPEAR!" he yelled getting them all to turn around and see him standing on a building.

Then he smirked.

"Shadow!" Eggman said.

"Hello doctor. I can see it still surprises you that I turned my back on a Robotnik."

"It is."

"Well after Sonic gave her life someone has to do it."

"There's the furball and the others."

"None of them are like us and the fastest thing they have is the X Tornado."

"True."

Then they fought and Shadow won.

Aue, aue

"I'll be back Shadow! I swear on it!" Eggman said.

Shadow rolled his eyes.

"How could she stand doing this so much?" he muttered.

We set a course to find

After that he turned around and ran home.

No one knows where he lives now and until he's ready they never will.

A brand new island everywhere we roam

When he got there he opened the door and headed to the couch and sat down.

Then he looked at a letter Sonic had handed him right before he had her get the others to safety.

He shrugged, picked it up and opened it.

Aue, aue

Dear Shadow,

I don't know if you know or figured it out but I'm the first Ultimate Lifeform created to look after my friend Sam like you were to look after Maria. Sam was epileptic and I was created to look after him. I would be with him everywhere but a doctor appointment, then it was just Professor Anastasia Robotnik, Gerald's sister. So technically we're cousins I guess you could say. She created me a month before Gerald created you. I'm where he came up with the idea. Look after everyone for me. Especially Tails, my best buddy and little brother. I know you lost Maria but I lost Sam, GUN found out about me and took me away from them. I got away by Chaos Controlling on the other side of the planet. A year later the two worlds split up. Everything you have I have but stronger. I don't know why but I am. Take care of them all. Make me and Maria proud.

Sonic

We keep our island in our mind

He sat there in shock.

"So that's why professor created me." he muttered. "He got the idea from her."

Then he put the letter down and sighed.

And when it's time to find home

A few hours later he was asleep watching the times they fought.

He woke up panting and sweating a little.

"I'm sorry Sonic." he whispered shaking his head.

We know the way

The next day he was looking for the Chaos Emeralds with a plan.

He was going to look for Sonic.

Tails was shocked but happy at the same time and was helping him along with the others.

Aue, aue

When he was all set he transformed into Super Shadow and headed to space.

Some people saw him and wondered what he was doing.

Chris, Chuck, Tails, Amy, Cream, Cheese, Knuckles and Rouge knew what he was doing and hoped it worked.

We are explorers reading every sign

Meanwhile Super Shadow was in space looking around at where it took place.

"Sonic?" he said. "Sonic where are you?"

He got no answer and sighed but kept looking.

While he looked around he knew he could only do it for so long and had to hurry.

"Come on, where are you?" he muttered.

We tell the stories of our elders

Finally he gave up and teleported home to make it quicker.

When he got there he was right outside the house, turned back into Shadow then went inside and took a nap.

'I'm sorry Sonic, tried.' he thought while he dozed off.

In a never-ending chain

A few months later the two worlds were apart again and they were back at Mobius where a bright light came from the moon. Tails worked up the courage to look up as the light became brighter. Suddenly, Super Shadow appeared. Tails was shocked.

He blazed through the missile, destroying it. Then he landed on the hull of the Grand Egg Imperial. The villains could only stare as their old adversary has returned.

"Doctor." Super Shadow said smirking a little.

Eggman's look of shock changed into a grin.

"You're finally here." he said.

"You won't be conquering this world, either. I promised I'd take care Sonic's job and I am!"

"That's what you think, super sap! If you dare to interfere with my plans, I'll squash you like a bug!"

But Super Shadow quickly destroyed the entire Grand Egg Imperial, which immediately exploded. Eggman and his hench-bots escaped in the Eggmobile.

They disappear in a twinkle and Super Shadow took off.

But Super Shadow was gone.

"He really came." Tails said.

Aue, aue

On the cliff Knuckles was thrown to the ground by Rouge, who was panting.

"So... do ya... give up yet?" she asked.

"Are you kidding? I'm just warming up!" Knuckles said and looked up to see Super Shadow flying through the sky and got up. "That's him!"

Rouge inspected her injuries.

"Well, waddaya know. I guess neither of us knows very much about how those time warps work." she said.

"You look awful!" he said between laughs.

"Yeah?" she said and playfully tackled him to the ground.

"Stop! That tickles!"

"Didn't I warn you to behave?"

"Alright! Alright!"

Te fenua, te malie

Meanwhile Cream and Cheese were at home fast asleep. Amy stared out the window. She looked up to see Super Shadow flying through the sky.

Na heko hakilia

A few minutes later Shadow was standing right outside his house, Sonic's house.

Then he opened the door and walked in.

We know the way
