My Only Wish
Chapter 3 – Shadow
A/N: I said maybe and here it is an alternate ending! Also, this one is shorter because I wrote it on the computer first (I normally write in a journal) and I wasn't planning an alternate ending in the beginning. '…' thinking and yes I put this in every chapter now.
Warning: Character Death!!! (And no I'm not happy about it; it just goes with the story.)
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters Sega does.

'Amy's House'
'…and that is why I am coming to get you! From, Eggman!' "That's all it says Sonic. So what do you say Sonic, we going after him or not?"
"Yeah right, I highly doubt that Eggman is alive. Shadow, we both watched him die, he can't be alive. This is probably a trick from one of his robots like Metal Sonic."
"Sonic are you sure about this, I don't think anyone would be sending messages like this just for a joke. If you don't want to do anything, then fine. But when he comes and tries to destroy Station Square, I will not be held responsible for his actions."
"Whatever, he's not coming." Sonic walked over to Amy, "I'm going to go home Ames, see you later."
"Wait, Sonic…" Amy stood there and watched as her 'blue blur' sped off. "Shadow, maybe you should stay in Station Square today in case anything happens."
"Fine, but I won't be happy about it."

'Sonic's Room'
Sonic sat in his room glaring at every single picture of Shadow he had in there, which consisted of one. 'Stupid Shadow, I can't believe he tried to convince me that Eggman is alive. I watched that old geezer die, we both did, and I find it very hard to believe that he would be alive!' Sonic stopped glaring at the picture. 'Maybe I should go to Station Square just incase there is some kind of attack. I wonder if Shadow would be able to fend himself without me.' Sonic thought with a smirk before leaving his apartment.

'Station Square – Shadow's Location'
Shadow sat on a park bench in the common area. 'I just wish Sonic would listen for once. Personally, I thought he would be happy at the thought of having Robotnick back in his life, I guess not.' While Shadow was thinking all this, he did not notice all of the people running and screaming in terror. He did however notice Eggman approach him.
"Ah Shadow, long time no see. Where is your lackey? Did he decide not to come out of fear?"
"Okay, what?! Sonic's not here because Sonic at the time didn't give two dog craps about you and didn't believe that you were alive. Oh and also, he's not my lackey. Anyways, why are you here, for world domination or for revenge on a certain blue hedgehog?"
"Hmm…both, except blue isn't what I'm after, it's you Shadow." Eggman commanded his robots into the city while he stayed with Shadow. "I'm always going after Sonic, why not torment Sonic and kill off one of his 'buddies'?" A fight broke out between the two of them and Robotnick had the assistance of his robots on his side.
(A/N: I'm not planning on doing a battle, just the aftermath, but if you do want a battle, then tell me personally and I'll send you a copy of a battle. Then after making the actual battle, I'll probably say screw this and put the battle into the actual story. Now then, on with the story!)

'Station Square – Close To Shadow's Location – A Few Hours Later'
"Ugh, where is he?! There's a bunch of destruction going on and I can't seem to find…" Sonic gasped as he saw Shadow's body in a pool of blood. "SHADOW!" Shadow's right ear twitched a little showing he was still alive. 'I've got to get him to a hospital fast.' Sonic picked up his body and rushed through Station Square, avoiding the badniks and anything else that could cause danger.

'Station Square – Hospital'
Amy sat in the waiting room across from Sonic, trying everything to comfort him. "Sonic, it's going to be fine, just calm down and relax."
Sonic looked up at her with his tear stained face, "No Amy, he's dying in there because of me. If I wasn't so sarcastic earlier today and just went with him to the base, then he wouldn't be here right now. Shadow didn't do anything so horrible that he deserved this. The only one that deserves death is me." New tears began to stream down his face.
She walked over to him and hugged him. "Sonic, don't say things like that. Shadow doesn't deserve death and neither do you. The only one who does though is Eggman." Amy kept reassuring him, but it just wasn't working.
After a few minutes a doctor walked in, "You guys are here about Shadow?" Amy nodded quietly while she continued to hold the blue hedgehog. "Right, I'm afraid I have bad news. He's only going to live for a few more minutes. I'm sorry, we tried everything. If you want to see him, he's down the hall in the last door."
Amy grabbed Sonic's arm and tugged it while they walked to his room. When they walked in they saw Shadow hooked up to many different machines. Shadow was awake staring at the ceiling with pain clouded eyes. Amy took two seats and pulled it next to his bed, motioning to Sonic. "Hey Shadow, we came into to see you. I'm sorry about what's going to happen."
Shadow slowly turned his head to see his friends. "It's alright Amy. Faker, you aren't acting like your self, what's wrong."
Sonic walked over to Shadow, "I'm not acting like myself because one of my best friends is dying right in front of me because of me and I can't do anything to stop it."
"Well, I didn't know you actually cared that much or that I was even considered a friend by you. Anyways, it's not your fault that I'm dying; it was my fate to die here and now." A few moments passed after Shadow said this and he then finally died.
Amy glanced at Sonic to see how would be taking this and was surprised. He wasn't crying his heart out anymore, in fact he was smiling. "Sonic, are you okay?" she asked quietly.
"Yes I'm fine. I thought I would've been sad, but, I'm just…I'm glad that Shadow is in a better place."
END
A/N: Alright, personally I thought that was the worst chapter. Anyways, I'm finally done with my first story! Also, I'm not going to do a funeral unless you ask me to personally and then I'll send you a copy. See the battle author's note for the rest of the message.
