Hey everyone! I'm not dead! I'm extremely sorry for not updating, but I'm back now. Here's the next chapter. Sorry for it being so short
Sonic lay on the bed, waiting for Tails to fix the machine on Sonic's leg. The group had arrived several minutes earlier and taken Sonic away from the destroyed workshop. The room was silent as Tails tampered with the device, trying to get it into working order again. Sonic was lost in his thoughts, replaying the encounter with Shadow over and over again. He still couldn't believe what had happened. After the time they had spent together, Shadow had attacked him just as maliciously, if not more so, as during their first fight. The silence was broken as Tails spoke up, "Finished." Sonic sprung up and headed for the door, but was stopped when Knuckles grabbed him by the arm. "Where do you think you're going?"
"To find Shadow."
"Bad idea. We should probably come up with a plan first.", Tails said.
"I don't care. I need to find Shadow." He attempted to break free from Knuckles grasp, but to no avail. "Listen Sonic, if Shadow tried to kill you last time you saw eachother, I don't think he'll be too happy to see you.", Tails said, trying to talk some sense into Sonic.
"But...he...you're right. I just can't bare to think of him out there, under Robotnik's control. I hope he's okay."
"Oh no.", Tails said suddenly.
"What is it?", Amy asked.
"I just realized something awful. If Shadow doesn't remember anything about us or what he did after he defeated Black Doom, then if he encounters something that wants to do any harm to him, like Project X, he won't hold back. He won't care about hurting people around him, so he'll use all of his power. He could level an entire city block by fighting.
"Is that what Project X meant when he said Shadow wasn't using his full power when we fought?", Sonic questioned.
"Probably. We need to figure out a way to get Shadow back, and quick, before he seriously screws something up."
"How do we do that?", Knuckles spoke up, "We can't just storm into Eggman's base and take Shadow. We need to make a plan."
"Which is exactly what we're going to do."
Shadow sped towards Eggman's base, thoughts racing in his head. He knew something was wrong about what happened with Sonic. He knew what he did was wrong for some reason, but he didn't know why. Whenever he felt like he was close to the answer, an unknown force pushed the thoughts out of his head. Something was messing with his mind, disrupting his focus. There was a second voice in his head that contradicted everthing he thought. It tired him mentally to the point where he could do nothing but complete whatever task Robotnik gave him.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his head, like something was trying to get out. He stopped in his tracks as an image flashed before his eyes. It seemed to be a memory, no it was a memory. It was too real not to be. The image was of Sonic and Shadow intertwined on a bed together.
