Lexdian: Hey guys! Say hi, Shadow...

Shadow: Say hi!

Lexdian: You, by far, are much more immature than Sonic. I'm gonna get HIM to do the disclaimer next time.

Shadow: What? You bastard! Chaos Spear! Huh? What the hell? You should be dead!

Lexdian: Yeah... you ARE a fictitious character...you can't do jack... So, will you do the bloody disclaimer?

Shadow: Fine, fine (stupid human) Lexdian does not own anything to do with Sonic (thank god) but it REALLY annoys him.

Lexdian: Anyways... Enjoy! P.s: If you have any comments, review me! If you like writing, review me!

"...reports of a missing sonic the hedgehog..." Announced the reporter.

"Dammit! Let it die!" Growled Shadow, before realising that was the wrong choice of words, as Tails suddenly strode out.

Shadow sighed. He didn't want Tails to be upset as it was his generosity that had allowed shadow to stay in the city in the first place. The only reason he didn't leave was the fact that G.U.N were still looking for him. But right now he didn't care. He needed to run.

The echidna stood silently next to the master emerald. Never again would he let the power of the emerald be perverted to hurt him, or his friends. His mind had been playing on Sonic for the last week, and he wanted it to stop. It played through their first meeting to their unintentional goodbye. And it hurt. So he would never forsake his duty again.

"You should really take a break, Knux."

"I can't, Rouge... I owe it to Sonic. He was a good guy and his memory doesn't deserve to be just forgotten. I MUST protect the chaos emeralds."

She handed him the cup of coffee he asked for, and wondered how hard Knuckles was really taking this.

"Wouldn't he want you to be happy as well?"

As she said this, her hand had intentionally brushed against his.

"Rouge..."

It was time to open up. He knew this, even though his mind screamed at him to hold back, but to no avail.

"I...just want my buddy back, you know? He was so heroic...I wanna do him justice so everyone is safe...he would want that, Rouge."

Amy had been sick several times today, and she wasn't sure she was done yet. The pain was unbearable like her heart had been ripped out. The only feeling left was sadness. But still something slept inside her. Hatred.

A/N: Ha ha ha ha ha ha! I love these cliffhanger endings...stay TUNED!!! Oh wait...this isn't a T.V show. Damn!!! Like I said you wanna criticise me? Annoy me? Or just need someone to listen? Well review me! Please...with a cherry on top?
