Hey, everyone!

I'm sorry I have been trying to come up with a good ending. I think I had lost my touch in writing since I haven't written in a while, sorry for that.

Anyway here is the next chapter for the story.


Last time: Maria lifted her head to Nikki she was still running to her, Maria's bright blue eyes suddenly glowed. Trees around the flower field bloomed into long forgotten cherry blossoms, old withered flowers had transformed into the beauties they once were.

Nikki stopped in the middle of the field Maria had disappeared like dust flowing in the wind.

"Please Maria help me!" Nikki's blue eyes started to water she was crying it was very clear she was crying and there was no way to stop the tears from coming. She went with it the crying. Even though there was no one there to her here to comfort her.

Everything in the flower field had finally begun to die along with all the hope and light inside her soul. Nikki's life was draining away more again.

"NO NIKKI!" Yelled a voice from outside she knew who it was, but sadly he was too late to stop the darkness, because all I can see now was the coldness of the dark with its cruelty and harsh words.

Shadow held Nikki's body close to him, Nikki didn't look like Nikki anymore; her skin had a blue tint to it, her eyes were a crimson color, and she was cold anything Shadow had said to her he knew would never reach her.

Yuki picked himself up from the ground and angrily growled at Shadow the energy that Nikki had filled him and he was stronger.

"You can't save her anymore Shadow she's gone, gone forever and she wont come back!" he laughed at his own words, Shadow scowled and clenched his fist in furry.

"Bastard!" He ran at him and his aura changed his fur had turned a white and red, his power grew.

"Shadow!" Sonic was shocked at what he was seeing there were no chaos emeralds around to power him it was another force.

Shadow charged up with power stronger than ever it was over whelming to everyone even him.

"Chaos Blast!" Yuki was thrown back against a nearby tree; Shadow appeared in front of him and grabbed him by the neck. Shadow clenched his fist and punched him and punched him and punched him again.

"Shadow stop this now!" Sonic ran to Shadow and put a hand on his shoulder. Shadow turned to face him nothing but rage was in his eyes.

"That's enough!" yelled Sonic; he scowled at Shadow angrily trying to make him stop almost as if it was a challenge for him.

"Its not enough it never, never is enough he needs to pay he needs to suffer!" Sonic's grip on Shadow's shoulder tightened, then Sonic spoke as softly as ever in his ear.

"No one needs to suffer not like this think of what Nikki and Maria would say…Shadow come back to us you friends, the people who care about you. It may be too late for Nikki." Sonic's grip loosened more on Shadow's Shoulder.

"But it's not to late for you to go back and start again don't kill him not like this Shadow…" Shadow put his head down in submission saying to Sonic that he was ready to stop and listen. Shadow had turned back into his normal self and walked away from Yuki.

"Get out of my sight you bastard before I change my mind." Shadow gave a dark glance to Yuki and left back into the woods.

Sonic smiled with satisfactory to him, his arms crossed watching Shadow with his back turned to Yuki.

"He's learning and I hope one day that he will heal." Yuki scowled at Sonic and quickly lunged at him in full force and stabbed him with his claws.

"Die you pathetic waste." Sonic turned his head around and coughed up blood. Yuki took his claws out from inside him and licked them, then suddenly stopped Sonic turned around and saw a stake piercing from the other side of Yuki's body.

Yuki transformed back into his old self and fell to the ground motionless. Shadow walked up from behind Yuki and helped Sonic up to his feet.

"Shadow how?" Shadow grabbed Sonic and had him lean against him.

"You didn't think I was just going to let another friend die did you?" Shadow carefully led Sonic to the rock in the middle of the field and sat him down on it.

"Shadow did you just say what I think you just said!" Sonic's eyes widened with surprise. Shadow looked at him in a weird way and hit him over the head.

"No of course not faker!" He blushed and turned away from him.

"Are you guys okay?" Knuckles Amy and Rouge joined up with them. Amy bent down to take a look at Sonic's wound.

"I think it would take a while to mend." She said to him happily since he wasn't dead. Knuckles looked at Shadow in a teasing way.

"So Shadow, you decided to consider us as friends now eh?" Shadow scowled at him and blushed more from embarrassment.

"Leave me alone you jackass!" Shadow yelled angrily.

"Aw, Shadow we love you too." Rouge kissed him on the top of the head teasing him more but that just made Knuckles angry and jealous.

"Rouge that's enough what the hell is wrong with you!" Yelled Knuckles his face turning red from anger.

"Well, I wanted to have a little fun…" Rouge made a sad puppy face at him making Knuckles feel sorry for what he did.

"Will everyone just cool it and stop with the whole LOVE thing already" Yelled Shadow at everyone he turned to walk away from everyone and as he left he heard a small voice.

"Shadow… are you forgetting about us?" Shadow turned around and found himself face to face with Maria and Nikki, a pleasant light had glowed around them, and everything had felt pleasant and warm to Shadow like it had while Maria was alive.

"Nikki wanted to say goodbye." Maria held Nikki's hand and gently pushed her forward. Shadow stared at her for a long time.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you Nikki… and I'm also sorry that I could protect Maria back then I failed at protecting the ones that mattered most to me." Nikki put a hand on Shadow's shoulder.

"You didn't fail at all Shadow." She smiled at him that smile made Shadow feel released in some way. "Shadow thanks to you and everyone else her I didn't go to the darkness after all and you also saved Sonic from his death."

Sonic Smiled at Shadow and gave him a thumbs up and a huge smile to show that he appreciated it. "Shadow thank you Maria and I can rest. Don't worry we will see each other again in the next life right?"

Shadow smiled at Nikki. "Yeah, we will until the next life Nikki." Nikki turned back to Maria and grabbed her hand, Maria smiled and waved happily at Shadow and disappeared. Sonic walked up to Shadow and out a hand on his shoulder.

"You see their happy and you got say goodbye to them one last time." Sonic smiled at him and patted his shoulder and walked back to the others.

"Yeah, they are." Shadow looked to the heavens and smiled.
