Shadow pulled himself up. He balanced himself on a wall. His left leg was completely shattered, as was Sonic's. Sonic was out cold from shock. Shadow limped over to him. If he didn't get medical attention, Sonic was going to bleed to death. Shadow could take it, and his chaos energy would heal him quicker. Shadow glanced at the Tornado. It wasn't an option, for one of the wings was torn off, and Tails was out cold, although he was still unhurt. Shadow couldn't Chaos-Control, his mind was too hazy. All the GUN Troops had fled, so there was only one option. He was going to have to carry Sonic.

Shadow slung him over his shoulder and began to move towards the hospital. He was in an abandoned area of the city, so there wasn't anyone around to help. Shadow kept against the wall for balance. His hand slipped and he landed on his left leg. There was an audible crack, and Shadow felt pain shoot up his leg. He winced in pain as the already damaged bone fractured even more. He went back to leaning against the wall. He slowly made his way along the building, but at the rate he was moving, Sonic was going to slip away any second. Shadow slipped again, and this time his leg gave out, the bone literrally tearing in half. He fell to the ground, dropping Sonic. This was too slow. Shadow needed something quicker, but there wasn't help for miles.

Shadow had an idea. He placed his hand on Sonic. He only had enough energy for one person. This was going to take all of the remaining chaos energy he had. It would mean he wouldn't be able to heal properly, and he might bleed out, but it would be worth it if Sonic was okay. He concentrated his energy into Sonic and pictured the hospital in his head. "S-Stay safe." He Chaos-Controlled Sonic to the hospital, but Shadow remained in the lot. Shadow smirked to himself, he couldn't believe what he just did. He just risked his own life, possibly just got himself killed, just so Sonic would be safe. He really did love Sonic.

Shadow felt the energy slip away from him. He was no longer able to move as he felt the pain take hold of him. The chaos energy was the only thing keeping Shadow alive. Without it, he was just a normal person. That didn't help, considering he had a shattered leg, various external wounds, and various internal wounds. He was losing blood quickly. He hoped Sonic would be okay. He tried to stay awake, but he was just too tired. He closed his eyes and laid his head on the ground. He knew better, but he couldn't help it. He imagined Sonic safe at home, and he smiled. He felt his consciousness slip away from him, and he slumped down on the concrete.
