STATION SQUARE

"Maria…"

"Maria…"

"MARIAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Shadow woke up in a terrible pain. He had the dream where Maria was killed right in front of him.

Thank goodness it was just a dream! Shadow thought.

Suddenly, Shadow realized that he was lying in a bed, under a pink blanket!

"Where the heck am I?" Shadow said looking around.

Shadow tried to get up, but when he did an unbearable pain shot up through his spine and through his entire body. Shadow screamed then passed out.

An hour later Shadow woke up again.

Am I dead? Shadow thought.

Suddenly a blond haired girl looked down at Shadow. He looked so much like Maria and Shadow couldn't help but smile when he saw her.

"M-Maria?" Shadow asked.

"I-Is that you?" Shadow asked smiling.

"No… my name is Hope" Hope said.

Shadow frowned, "Then what do you want human!"

"I see you haven't lost your charm" a girl said.

Shadow wanted to look to see who it was but he couldn't budge.

A pink hedgehog walked over to him she was smiling.

Suddenly, a memory popped into Shadows mind.

Shadow was standing on Prison Island with Doctor Eggman and Rouge the Bat. "Okay everyone ready? Shadow, Rouge, on with the show!" Eggman said.

Suddenly Shadow was bear hugged from behind.

"Oh, Sonic! I'd thought I'd never see you again! I'm so glad you made it!"

Shadow turned around and saw it was the pink hedgehog that hugged him, upon seeing his face she backed up.

"You're not Sonic who are you!" Amy asked.

"I'm the one that should be asking that question!" Eggman said.

"Doctor Eggman! AHHH!" the pink hedgehog said, then ran away screaming.

"Amy your timing is impeccable! Listen to me; I'll take care of her you go on ahead!" The Eggman chased after her.

Shadow then ran off in the opposite direction of Rouge.

Shadow popped back into reality.

"Amy…" Shadow asked.

Amy kneeled over and kissed Shadow on the cheek, "It's so good to have you back Shadow!"

"Back? What do you mean?" Shadow asked.

"What you don't remember?"

"I don't remember anything…" Shadow said.

"But… then how do you remember my name?" Amy asked.

"I had a Flashback, I was with the doctor and Rouge on Prison Island… then you hugged me and ran away screaming…" Shadow said.

Amy and Hope were silent for a moment.

"Uh, Shadow I found these in your pocket" Amy said.

Then Amy pulled out the green and white chaos emeralds.

"GIVE THOSE BACK!" Shadow barked.

"Don't worry I wasn't going to keep them!"

"You should get some sleep Mister Shadow" Hope said.

Shadow nodded and quickly fell back asleep.

RED MOUNTAIN

The Tornado landed on a large rock in Red Canyon. Before Tails even got out, Sonic ran of flowing the emeralds glow. Sonic was so excited he was finally going to see Shadow! Tails caught up with him and after about half an hour of searching they found it.

The Purple Chaos Emerald!

Sonic felt disappointed and he slowly picked up the emerald. He held the blue emerald in one hand and the purple one in the other. Sonic sighed.

"Hey, sorry it wasn't what you were hoping for." Tails said.

"Well, at least this way will be able to find Shadow better." Sonic said.

"If he's even out there…" Tails murmured.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" Sonic yelled.

"Nothing…" Tails stammered.

"HE IS OUT THERE!" Sonic yelled.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it that way!" Tails apologized.

They were both silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry Tails," Sonic sighed, "I just miss him…"

They were both quiet for another minute, and Sonic put the two emeralds in his pocket.

"We all do." Tails said sadly.

Suddenly, Tails noticed that both emeralds were glowing brightly.

"Were hot on another Chaos Emeralds trail!" Tails exclaimed

Sonic dashed off even faster than before. "Hey wait up!" Tails cried after him.

Sonic and tails eventually came to the Mystic Ruins Train Station.

"The train headed for Station Square will be departing soon" The announcer said.

"C'mon! It must be in Station Square!" Sonic said diving into the train.

When the train finally came to Station Square the two friends followed the glow to Amy's apartment.

"There no doubt about it" Tails said.

"About what?" Sonic asked.

"Amy must have a Chaos Emerald."

"No way, the signals probably coming from somewhere around here, but Amy does not have an emerald!" Sonic said.

"Sonic point the emerald at Amy's window" Tails said.

Sonic did as he was told and pointed both emeralds at Amy's window. The emerald glowed so bright it blinded Sonic. Tails gave him the I-told-you-so look.

"Shut up…" Sonic said walking to the door of the apartment building.

They walked through the doors and walked over to the attendant.

"Uh, were here to see Miss Amy Rose" Tails said.

"One moment please Mr. Hedgehog" The attendant said.

He pushed a button and said: "Miss Rose, Sonic the Hedgehog and his little fox sidekick are here to see you"

"My name is Tails!" Tails yelled annoyed.

"What-ever!" the attendant said.

"SEND THEM IN NOW!" Amy yelled.

"You may go" the attendant said pointing to the elevator.

Sonic and Tails walked into the elevator and hit floor eight button.

"So… Amy sounded like there was something urgent happening" Tails said.

"Nah, she's just excited to see me!" Sonic bragged.

Tails gave Sonic an annoyed look.

"I bet she's excited to see you too…"

When the elevator came to floor eight, Sonic and Tails walked to room: 812. Amy was already at the door and she pulled Sonic in. "Amy what are you doing!" Sonic yelled.

Tails walked into the room and he saw Hope sitting on the couch. "Hello Hope, how are you doing?" Tails asked.

"I'm doing fine, thanks for asking" Hope smiled.

Tails blushed. "Sonic what you about to see may shock you…" Amy said with her hand on the doorknob. Amy opened the door and Sonics jaw dropped. "No way…" Sonic said staring at Shadow who was still asleep.
