"How do I know you're telling the truth?"

"Because, I am your creator's grandson, Doctor Ivo Robotnik."

"I see the resemblance. How do you know Shadow?"

"He has aided Sonic the Hedgehog in stopping me." Project X didn't bother to ask who Sonic was. He was more concerned on finally getting to meet Shadow the Hedgehog. Despite being created to deal with Shadow if he ever got out of control, he had never met Shadow. He was looking forward to this

Shadow lie in the hospital bed. The emergency operation managed to fix Shadow's vertebrae, but he was still immobilized. Sonic walked into the room, "How are you Shads?"

"Fine."

"No you're not."

"What?"

"I can tell something's wrong. What is it?"

"It's my fault."

"What is?"

"The fact that Robotnik is probably using Project X. If I wouldn't of ignored the pain, we wouldn't be here."

"You couldn't of known."

"Still, my arrogance probably doomed us all."

"C'mon Shadow, don't be that way." Just then, Tails walked into the hospital room. "Hey Sonic."

"What's up Tails?"

"I need to talk to you."

"Okay." Tails took Sonic out if the room. About a minute passed before Tails came back in, without Sonic. "Where's Sonic?"

"Oh, he had to go take care of some stuff."

"Like what?"

"Oh, I told him to go check out some stuff with Robotnik, a possible lead."

"Why didn't you want to tell me?"

"Well, I thought he might get angry at me if I told you, since you're not able to go." This situation felt off to Shadow, but he ignored the feeling. "So, how are you doing Shadow?"

"Not good. The doctor said it could be a couple weeks until I'm out. If it wasn't for my chaos energy, I would heal slower."

"That's not good. Well I'll see you around." Tails left the room. Shadow shifted himself so he was comfortable and fell asleep.

The doctor opened the door to Shadow's room. He approached the dark hedgehog. The IV tube was pumping the fluid into Shadow. The doctor removed the packet of fluid, and replaced it with the new one. He smirked to himself, his dark purple eyes glowing. "Sweet dreams Shadow."

Shadow woke up, his legs were asleep. He shook them to wake them up. Then he realized, he could move his legs again. He sprung out of bed, tearing out the IV tube. The nurse that was walking in the room was startled, "Mr. Shadow! You're up?!"

"Yeah, and I feel great!"

"That's strange, maybe we should preform some tes-"

"No time!" Shadow rushed past her, and out of the hospital. He must have underestimated his chaos energy.

Well, what do you guys think? Let me know in the reviews.
