Chris sighed, feeling extremely let down. What did Shadow have a problem with? Was it because of Maria liking him a bit?
Chris chuckled for a split second, then when the realization hit him, he immediately stopped laughing, feeling sorrow for the black and red hedgehog. No wonder he wanted to have revenge…he really loves her…
Chris knew what was going to happen to Maria. He knew she got killed by GUN. And he knew the after-effects were going to torture and break Shadow. He looked out a nearby window, and saw his reflection in the glass. His blue eyes stared back at him, dark and filled with sorrow. They looked, he realized, a lot like Maria's.
Chris remembered how Shadow looked at him right before he rescued him. His red eyes were filled with fear, disbelief, and a gentleness Chris never noticed until now. Shadow had watched him on Space Colony Ark when he didn't need to. …He was protecting him.
Chris felt like crying. GUN was going to ruin things for Shadow. Dr. Robotnik, a man Chris was admiring, was going to turn mad with revenge, making Shadow the same way. Shadow would hurt Sonic, and then try to destroy the world.
He would save it….
…and then die himself.
Chris wiped his tears, and then looked out at the Earth with a determined look on his face. None of that will happen.
I'm going to save her…no matter what it takes!
