Sonic Adventure 2 is in this chapter. Sorry it took so long. I have been very busy. Hope you enjoy.

Blackness. That was all he could see as the pillar that housed him started to rise. Slowly memories and thoughts started to come back to the black hedgehog named Shadow.

Shadow opened his eyes for the first time in fifty years. He scanned the area where he was and saw who it was. Professor Gerald?He asked himself. No, the professor was much older than this man. It is probably a relative. Since I was sealed for my destructive power than he probably wants to use me to defeat someone.

A memory of Maria dying goes into his mind. I will use him to make it so I can carry out Maria's last wish. I will act like he is my master and betray him later.

"What's that? Is that you, Sonic?" The man said. "Are you here to stop me again? Wait, you're not Sonic! How can this be?"

I wonder who this Sonic is. I guess he looks like me. "My name is Shadow." Shadow said addressing the man. "Since you were so kind to release me, my master. I will grant you one wish.

Suddenly an alarm started to sound.

"What is going on?" The man asked.

"This will give me a chance to show you my power." Shadow said as a guard robot fell to the ground.

The guard robot flew into the air and started shooting the ground near Shadow. Shadow did a somersault out of the way of the gun. A vision of the GUN soldier killing Maria came back into his mind.

Shadow jumped onto a stack of boxes and then did a homing attack straight into the cockpit of the robot.

"Darn it!" The man controlling the robot said.

The robot then descended and started to shoot missiles at Shadow. Shadow did not even try to evade them, or so the man in the robot thought. Shadow used his super speed to get in front of the robot. With one solid kick he smashed a big crack into the cockpit.

The man then started to charge a huge beam at the front of the robot. Shadow did not even try to move and was hit full force by it.

"Hah. Your cockiness now got you dead." The man laughed.

"Shadow is supposed to be the ultimate life form. How could he be defeated this easily?" The man who had awoken Shadow asked.

Slowly the dust that had been kicked up by the huge beam settled down and showed Shadow standing there unscathed.

"Aaah. Main base. He is way to strong. I am going to retreat. I need backup." The man in the robot said as he started to fly away.

"Oh no you do not." Shadow said. He jumped through the air and used homing attacks to scale the walls and used a super powered homing attack on the robot. The robot started to spark and explode as it crashed to the ground.

"Wow, Shadow. That was amazing. Now I understand why you are the military's top secret weapon. But... what are you talking about when you said you will grant me a wish?" The man asked.

"Bring more chaos emeralds to the central control room on the Space Colony ARK. Then I will reveal everything. But I must ask one thing, what is your name?" Shadow asked.

"My name is Eggman Robotnik."

"I see. I shall see you in the ARK." Shadow said and then ran away.

Later

Shadow stood in front of the federal reserve bank. I told that Eggman to get the chaos emeralds but I guess I can help out. I want the revenge to occur as quickly as possible. Shadow walked into the bank and passed the security guards.

"Oh. Mr. Sonic. What do you need from our bank?" One of the security guards ask.

Second time I have heard the name of that Sonic person. He must look like me. "I need the chaos emerald that is stored here." Shadow said.

"I am sorry sir. We can only give it to you if you have permission from the president." The guard said.

"Well I will just have to take it from you." Shadow said.

"What!"

Shadow jumped up and kicked the guards in the necks and ran and took the emerald. Immediately tons of guard robots came out. Shadow started to laugh. "This is what you get! Chaos blast!" Shadow used a chaos blast and destroyed the robots and the door that

had been sealed up.

"He's escaping!"

Shadow then ran away homing attack everything in his way until he got onto a suspension bridge rail. He watched as tons of police forces swarmed around where he was standing.

"Pathetic."

"When was the last time I saw this many GUN robots? Ah yes." Shadow closes his eyes and thinks about what occurred fifty years ago. He sees Maria in his minds eye. He hears her final words. --do it for me... for all the people... on that planet... Sayonara, Shadow the Hedgehog.

"Maria, I will carry out what I promised you. For all of the people on this planet. I will seek REVENGE!" Shadow finished in a shout. The GUN soldiers that had "surrounded him" stepped back in fear.

"You will be the first to suffer my wrath." Shadow shouted and jumped off of the rail. He used rapid homing attacks to defeat the many robots. He then started to grind down a few rails until a few robot dropped down from a plane. This time he went into a ball and started to rev up.

With a whoosh of speed he smashed the robots into scrap metal and sped under some huge spinning columns. He then was confronted by two GUN hawks. Once again they were turned into scraps.

"Take a hint. None of you are strong enough to kill me. This posses no challenge whatsoever."

Shadow then went further down the bridges when he noticed that the amount of robots attacking him had gone down to only robots he passed. He then stopped being attacked at all.

"I wonder what is going on." He said to himself.

He then saw that all of the robots were moving in a different direction. His curiosity made him follow them until he saw a blue hedgehog. This must be that Sonic person. I should pay him a little visit.

Shadow jumped on top of the robot that Sonic had beaten. He must not be a pushover because I had to defeat a robot like this one. Shadow started to examine the emerald he was holding. "It all starts with this... a jewel to make all of my goals come true.

"That's a chaos emerald. Now I understand, you robbed the bank but they thought it was me."

Shadow glanced at Sonic then looked back at the emerald.

"What are you going to do with the emerald?"

Shadow still ignored Sonic.

"Say something you fake hedgehog!" Sonic said. He started to sprint towards Shadow.

Shadow threw the emerald into the air and caught it. "Chaos control!" He said.

Shadow warped directly past Sonic and appeared on a building behind Sonic.

"Holy cow. He is super fast. Wait, is he using the emerald to warp? Is that possible?" Sonic said when he realized that Shadow had appeared behind him.

"If you wish to know, I am Shadow the hedgehog. I am the world's ultimate life form. Remember that if you ever dream of trying to fight me." Shadow said and then used chaos control.

Shadow warped all the way to space colony ARK.

As he we walked through the entrance he saw a huge blood stain. "GUN" He said in a whisper.

Shadow then started to walk through the halls. He had many visions and memories of things that had happened there. After he got to a certain point then he noticed that all of the lights turned off. "Sigh. I guess they couldn't have kept the lights on for fifty years. I better get to the control room quickly." After walking through many more rooms he encountered a blue blob monster.

"Where have I seen these before?" Shadow said under his breath. The monster noticed Shadow and sent its tendrils out at him. "I remember. These were created by the professor, they were the artificial chaos."

Shadow jumped over the tendrils and dodged the beams that it shot at Shadow. One homing attack and the artificial chaos collapsed into a pool of gel.

"Strange. These are much weaker than they used to be. I remember when it took like seven shots to kill them. I thought that they all were destroyed by me on the day where they went insane. Hmm. Well there is no time to dwell on the past of monsters. Time to find that control room." Shadow said and started to walk through some more rooms.

Finally Shadow made it to the main control room. "The eclipse cannon. What beautiful technology. What beautiful destructive power it will unleash upon the humans." Shadow said as he walked around the control panels.

"Time to look something up. I need to find if there is a backup plan if the cannon is harmed in any way." Shadow said as he started to look through the information on the screen. "Ah yes. I knew that the professor would think of something. So... if the emeralds are gathered but the beam fails then the ARK will fall to Earth. Brilliant. That will make it so that no matter what GUN does then the plan will succeed. I kinda am surprised though, I would have thought that even then he would have a back up plan. Oh well, now I just have to wait for Eggman to come." Shadow said as he turned off the computer.

A half hour later.

"Ah. There he is. He took his time getting here. I wonder how he will do with fighting the different guards in the outer portions of the ARK." Shadow said as he watched Eggman make his way through the the colony. He was using the surveillance cameras to monitor Eggman's progress.

Five minutes later.

Eggman (finally) walked into the control room. He found Shadow waiting for him.

"I've been waiting for you Doctor. Now, I will show the glorious achievement of what the world's leading scientist – Professor Gerald - has created." Shadow walked over to the computer and turned it on.

"The ARK was the first space colony created by mankind. Not many people know that the ARK contained a top-secret research facility, where weapons of mass destruction were being created. This is one of them; a weapon capable of destroying an entire planet. Codenamed: "The Eclipse Cannon".

"Is this what my grandfather used his brilliant mind to create? Super powered weapons capable of destroying planets? This was his legacy?"

So that is how they are related. He is Gerald's grandson. "The problem is that the cannon has beenshut down for fifty years." Shadow tossed the green chaos emerald into the a control panel on the side of the cannon that had seven indentations. "To reactivate it we will need large amounts of energy." As Shadow said this the energy of the emerald started to pulse throughout the machine.

"And the energy we need is of the chaos emeralds." Eggman said catching on.

"Exactly. To reactivate the machine, we need the seven Chaos Emeralds. Once you have that, then you have the ultimate power of destruction, to use as you please. And then... the world could be yours." Shadow said. Hah. The world will be destroyed if he uses the emeralds in this way. Good thing he has not realized it yet.

"Hahahahahaha! Sounds like a plan! I like the way you think, Shadow! I will get the Chaos Emeralds, use the machine to dominate the world and build a legacy of my own! It will be one even greater than my grandfathers." Eggman said very pleased.

"Do you think it will be that easy?" Said a voice from the shadows. Shadow and Eggman looked around in alarm.

A bat flew down from the ceiling and landed in front of them. Eggman gasped in surprise when he saw who it was.

"I have an idea. Why don't we me make a deal?" The bat asked.

"A deal?" Eggman said surprised.

"When you grabbed that Master Emerald, you said something about a reaction: a reaction that it may have with the Master Emerald. If you could just let me borrow that radar, then I might be able to help you. What do you think?" The bat said.

"If I do, what will you do for me?" Eggman asked.

"I might know where the other chaos emeralds are. After all, I am a world renowned treasure hunter. And I do so love jewels." The bat said. She pulled out a chaos emerald.

Eggman looked at Shadow not knowing what to do. If she can help us have my goals be achieved faster than it will be good to have her on our side. She will probably be a nuisance if we turn her down. I better keep my eyes on her though. It seems to bizarre that a treasure hunter just happens to find her way on to the ARK. And she was shrewd enough that I did not even know she was there. Shadow nodded at Eggman to accept those terms.

"Very well." Eggman said.

"Okay. Great. Its a deal and I can begin working now. But first I need to introduce myself. My name is Rouge.

Phew. That was long. I will try to have another chapter by Sunday night. If you realized that this is not exactly like the game it is because I don't want it to be exactly like the game. It is a fan fiction after all. I hope it was detailed enough. This story is going to be Shadow's point of view so that is why I do not say people's names until they introduce themselves to Shadow. Please review.
