Please review? Please? Pretty Please? I'll keep doing this until I get a review. Pleeeease?
Shadow's POV
"I wonder how Maria's going to kill Shadow when she gets here to save us."
Sonic asked Amy.
Amy rolled her eyes.
I guess I'd been denying it the whole time but Maria probably was going to kill me. I kept pretending Maria and I were still buddy-buddy, like I hadn't tried to kill her. I needed Maria right now. I had always been confused but Maria explained everything to me. Except for why she was mad at me, then I'd have to ask someone else. But now I'm confused and my only friends are the ones making my life miserable. The body guards.
"She's probably gonna burn me to a crisp…"
I whispered to myself.
"Ha, Maria's gonna hate him forever and she'll tell me that I was right about Shadow from the beginning that she should have protected herself and stayed away from him. now look at that, Maria's probably sobbing her eyes out at… er… someone's base. Poor thing should have listened me."
Sonic bragged.
"Sonic, I think you have it wrong…"
Amy's voice was drowned out by the constant roar of my never ending pain and hunger.
Hunger for blood, pain for fuel.
"Stop it!"
I hollered at my guards behind me.
"What?"
They said and the suffering ended.
"That's not true, I haven't always been like this. Oh… why did I have to be the good guy… I guess, I'll have to choose between saving an alien race or Maria. That's no choice! Maria's worth… well she's worth more than this! I'll have to tell her why… but how… when?"
"Shadow's a good for nothing. He would've killed Stella had Maria left them alone too long. He's such a jerk, too. Just ask Breeze, ask all of his two day girlfriends. Ask Laurie! Maria and him were always fighting over one thing or another. Why'd they even become friends? Shadow's such an imbecile…"
Sonic went on.
"Because of you."
I cut in.
"Huh?"
Sonic actually decided to listen to me for the first time in my reign of this planet.
"Maria and I became friends because the night when I got beat up by a few of Dee's robots Maria was tending to my wounds and told me about you. Maria was, apparently, under a lot of stress back on earth and she told me all about it. She told me everything about your mom and dad and you. I know what color underwear your wearing, that's how much she told me about you."
"Yeah? What color?"
Sonic challenged.
"Yellow."
I told him.
"No, they're white."
Sonic smiled.
"They were when you put them on."
I retorted.
"See? That's it! That need to make fun of everyone! Why do you have it?"
He pointed and screamed.
"I don't make fun of everyone, just you… and Cream."
"Hey!"
Cream shouted from in the dungeon.
"You make fun of Maria."
Sonic grinned evilly.
"We're just kidding around, she knows that."
"Then why does she always punch you? Huh, explain that!"
"It doesn't hurt, stupid."
I snarled.
"Yeah right. She hates you! She always has! She doesn't just hate Prince Shadow! She hates Emperor Shadow, too!"
"Not true."
We looked up to see Maria and Breeze sitting in the open window.
"How'd you…"
I started.
"The fight's been on television the whole time, you should be more observant."
Breeze smirked.
"Maria! Come on! You gotta side with me! Remember Dee? Remember how much it hurt for Shadow to mistake a fake like her for you?"
"Yes, don't bring it back up."
Maria hissed.
"What about when Shadow ruined my day off?"
Maria paused for a moment.
"Oh my gosh… I had completely forgotten that! And… when Shadow… and I were racing… he hated me…I remember that now."
"What are you two… Oh yeah… We were fifteen. When I lost my memory I started over! I'm a different person now!"
I yelled.
Maria continued to stare unhappily at her shoes.
"Hey, yeah! You have always been a jerk to Maria!"
Breeze yelled.
"And when Shadow was dating Laurie…"
"Sonic stop it!"
Maria wiped her eyes.
"And then what Shadow said in your dream! Don't you remember? How he lowered our spirits when we tried to plan how to escape?"
"She said stop it Sonic!"
I hollered.
"What has he ever done to prove he cares about anyone!"
"SONIC STOP!"
Knux threw the chaos emeralds at us and we went super Shadow and Sonic.
"Super Shadow and Super Sonic, could it be their destiny to do battle?"
Tikal asked in wonder.
Shadow flung Sonic into the wall and Sonic was knocked out.
"Apparently not."
Knux replied.
Maria's POV
"JUST STOP IT! I WANT ANSWERS!"
I stood up and screamed.
I was pure white and blue and somewhere along the way I picked up a staff.
"Why are you doing this? Why did you take over the world? Why can't I seem to figure out who you are! What's wrong with this scene?"
My voice was demanding and my hair was longer than usual as it hovered about me in midair.
"Maria? What's happening to us?"
Breeze asked, her body was a crystal blue, navy blue, black, and lime green.
"Maria, I'm doing this because…"
Shadow closed his eyes tightly and shook his head.
"Stop that and let me finish my thought! I'm doing this because… because…"
He fell to the floor and cried in pain.
"Because I can!"
He said at last, but it didn't sound like him.
"I am Shadow Ultima, I have the power to rule this world and I use it!"
He cackled insanely.
"Stop it!"
He smacked his head against the floor.
I heard a clicking noise from behind me.
I turned and touched my staff to the gun a guard was holding.
The gun and the guard turned to ash before my eyes.
"What is going on here? I will get answers! If I don't let's just say everything I touch…"
I looked at the remains of the guard.
"Does that."
I finished.
"Maria, help me… I need no help! I am Shadow! No you're not! Get out of my head! Look at me! I'm Shadow Ultima! Ruler of world's, lady's man, and alien spawn! Okay, that wasn't nice."
I guessed he was being controlled by someone at this point because Shadow hates to be called alien spawn and they'd have to be really good at cloning to get him to go Super. But who was doing this and why?
"Leave, this could get messy."
Breeze told them all.
"I'm staying, I have to. This is my problem now, too."
Jwan said.
Now it was just Shadow, Breeze, Jwan, unconscious Sonic, and me.
This is going to be interesting.
Eh, whatdoya think? Please review? Please? Please? … please?
