Shadow picked Sonic up off the bed and pinned him against the wall. His fingers were tightly wrapped around Sonic's neck. He looked at him like Sonic had just tried to shoot him. Shadow had a low growl in his voice, "Where is Maria?!"
"Sh-Shadow..."
"How do you know my name?!" Shadow tightened his grip on Sonic. He was going to choke the life out of him. Sonic felt a haze fill his mind. His vision began to blur as colors faded away and darkness took their place. Suddenly, he felt Shadow's grip loosen. Shadow dropped Sonic and bolted out the door. Seconds later, Knuckles, Amy, and Tails rushed into the room. "Sonic, are you okay?", Amy said, panicked.
"I'm fine...", he said, coughing. "You have to find Shadow."
"Shadow? What's he doing awake?", Tails questioned.
"I don't know, but something is wrong with his memory."
"We'll find him.", Knuckles said. The group left Sonic to find Shadow, and several nurses came to help Sonic.
Project X leaned against the wall, disguised as a civilian. "So his Chaos Energy reserves kicked in.", he thought to himself. "Although his memory seems to be damaged. Oh well, he'll still remember me."
Shadow ran through the streets, desperately looking for answers. This wasn't the Ark, and Maria was nowhere to be seen. He didn't know what to do, where to go, or even what to think. He was so confused, so disoriented, and nothing around him made sense.
Eggman had seen the footage from the security cameras of the hospital. He knew what was wrong with Shadow, and he knew excactly how to use it to his advantage. The odds were turning in his favor.
Hey guys, I'm back! Sorry about the long wait and short chapter. I'll make up for it in later chapters. Don't forget to review.
