Shadow's screams echoed throughout the halls. He wouldn't be able to take much more. If this kept up, Shadow might not be able to hold the secret anymore. "This is growing tiresome Shadow. You could end all this pain with just a simple sentence." Shadow remained quiet. "Fine then, do it your way." Eggman turned up the dial on the machine. He pulled back on the lever, and the machine activated. "Aaaahhhhh...STOP,STOP,STOP...I'll tell you!" Eggman turned off the machine.
Shadow couldn't believe this, he was supposed to be the ultimate lifeform, and here he was begging for someone to stop hurting him.
Sonic ran around the city with the transmitter Tails had gave him when he regained consciousness. It was designed to trace Eggman's Egg-Mobile. Sonic wasn't sure how it worked, but it did. Suddenly, the signal spiked, and Sonic slid to a stop. The signal was coming from the top of a large skyscraper in the middle of the city. Sonic ran up the building, the signal growing stronger as he went.
He smashed through the window to find Eggman behind a control panel, and Shadow hooked up to a strange machine. "Oh hello Sonic. I just had a simple buisness transaction to work out with Shadow."
"Let him go!", Sonic had rage in his eyes.
"As you wish." Eggman hit a button on the panel, and the machine launched Shadow out the side of the building. Sonic ran after him, jumping out of the hole in the wall. Shadow approached the Earth at a rapid speed. Sonic was so close to Shadow, but he didn't have enough speed to catch up with him. He just needed to gain a little extra speed...too late. Shadow slammed into the top of a building, tearing through several stories of the building. The concrete fell around him, burying him under several tons of stone.
Sonic pressed his feet against the side of the building, smoke pouring off of his heels as he slid down the structure. He stopped at the pile of rubble Shadow was under. He frantically searched through the mess, hoping to find Shadow in time. He saw a tuft of black fur sticking out from a pile in the center. Sonic threw the stones to the side, and lifted off a large block of concrete on top of Shadow.
It didn't look good. Shadow's fur was torn off and singed. He was covered in blood and dust. He was barely breathing, and his pulse was weak. Sonic shook him, "Shadow? Shadow?! Please wake up Shadow! Come on!" Shadow's eyes opened for a second. He forced a smile, "W-why a-are you c-cr-crying...Faker?"
