Chapter Six: A Vow?

~The shopping centre~

And so he sped of towards the mall, just to find that the Egg Carrier was right above the Shopping centre, he ran inside and spotted the girls being chased by some robots, he held out the green Chaos emerald and shouted

"Chaos Control!" Time slowed, he ran over to the girls and picked them up in his surprisingly strong arms and carried them outside.

As time restarted itself Shadow found himself confronted by several E series robots, he smirked then darted between them hitting each one in the power core in turn, they dropped to the floor lifelessly.

"Get back to the Mansion, you should be safer there! I'll join you once I've dealt with these useless heaps of metal!" Shadow called to the girls

"Okay!" They said in unison, they ran back to the mansion and barricaded the doors, after a while Shadow climbed in through one of the ground floor windows.

"The whole city has been overrun, Eggman must have found out Sonic was dead and right now there is nobody to stop them" Shadow said

"What about you?" Amy asked "Can't you help?"

"Yes, I can help, I can stop them," Shadow replied "But why should I? What have they ever done for me? Nothing! They never helped me! They killed Maria! Why should I save them!?"

"Please Shadow, do it for me!" Amy interrupted

"For you?"

"Yes, this is not about them, do this for me!"

"Fine then, a vow is a vow," Shadow finished "I'll be back, soon" and he walked towards the window until Amy said

"Shadow? What vow?"

"The vow I made to Sonic when he was dying, a vow to protect you, upon pain of death." Shadow explained

"So…all of what you did for me is just because of a vow?" Amy asked

"No…it was mainly because, you are the only person I ever had received kindness from, I didn't ever want to lose you," Shadow said defensively "I'm going now"

And with that he just leapt out of the window; leaving the two girls alone, there was silence until;

"So what are we gonna do now?" Rouge asked

"Well I want to get to the others to see if they're going to do something!" Amy replied fiercely "Let's get to Tails' workshop!"

"But that's in the Mystic Ruins Amy, that's way to far!" Rouge complained.

"Come on, Tails and Knuckles will be there, I bet they can help!"

"Oh… Alright, but let's get there quick!" Rouge got up from the couch and flew through the window, Amy just scrambled out.

I actually think my dog could write better than me and seeing that it's dead that's quite a feat...
