Authors message: "Hey everyone, I just wanted to clear a few things up,
1. As far as some of you guys being worried that Im trying to oushine other characters by making an O.C. with no weaknesses, Dont worry about it. Streaky does have weaknesses and it is just to early in the story to show them, also I did not post them on my profile because if you were a hero and someone put all your weaknesses online where everyone could see them, it would be bad, right? Also it gives away a few surprises in the story.
2. As far as to the question as to why Streaky uses a sword instead of a gun, think of it this way. When you can move at super sonic speeds which is more effective, a bullet which makes a small but deep wound or a sword which can leave a huge gash. Personally I think sword, but that is my oppinion.
3. Youve probably heard this a million times from a million other stories but heres the disclaimer "I do not own the sonic characters they are the property of the Sega company and the only characters I truely own are Streaky, the mystery villan and one other character that may come in later on."
Well thats it, I hope you enjoy the story."
At the hanger Amy and Cream were taking care of Shadow.
"Do you think he will be all right, Amy?"
"Of course he will, Cream. After all, he did survived space colony ARK didn't he?"
Shadow had broken out in a cold sweat probably due to an infection of the nasty wounds that were on his upper right arm and shoulder. All of which were now treated and bound in clean bandages. Cream left to get another rag to try and cool him down with. Just then Knuckles walked in. He had just been puting the Emeralds, which had somehow ended up in Shadows possetion, in a safe place.
"I don't see why we have to help this guy.", He said with a scowl.
"Because its the right thing to do." Amy replied.
"Even after every thing he's done! For all we know he could be the reason Sonic is GONE!"
This retort of course caught Amy off guard.
"But we can't just leave him like this."
"She's right, he might know where Sonic is." Streaky had just come in. "Thats just a practical way to look at it. I mean it is the right thing to do too." She said with a shrug.
Seeing he was out voted here, Knuckles stormed out of the room to vent his anger. And of course by vent, that meant grumbling in the woods until he gets the urge to turn a boulder to dust with his fists.
With the hothead gone Streaky walked into the room where Cream was caring for Shadow, behind her Amy nervously followed.
'She must be remembering how me and Shadow never got along.' Streaky realized.
Though Streaky had a cool head as compared to Knuckles, every time she meet with Shadow they ended up fighting.
'Not this time', Streaky thought 'I would never harm someone who is helpless.'
Though traditionaly, 'helpless' and 'Shadow' never belonged in the same sentence, seeing as Shadow was unconcious kind of made an exception to the rule. She stepped into the infirmary with a feeling of dread. Anything that could take down Shadow had to be a viscious foe. She felt like she was in a dream because as was stated before Shadow seemed almost untouchable. And yet ther he was on the bed out cold.
"Do you think he will be ok?" Amy whispered.
"Dont worry Mr. Shadow," Cream said oblivious to the conversation "When were done, you'll be all beter. Right Cheese?" The tiny chou hovered near by with a damp rag in his stubby paws. "Chchchchou."The little creacture chirped happily.
"I'm no doctor so I can't tell you for sure,"Streaky replied "But if I know Shadow like I think I do, then there is no need to worry." 'He is tough to kill.' Streaky thought as she felt a familure mixture of dread and admeration that she allways felt towards the moody headgehog. 'Unless you were to end him right there on the battle field there would be no way to stop him.'
"Streaky..." Amy's voice was a little more than a whimper. "Eh do...do you know where... where Sonic is?"
Streaky's ears drooped in sorrow "I'm afraid not. To be honest, I was hoping to learn something here."
"Oh Mr. Shadow! Please don't get up!"
Shadow had not only regained consiousness but was acting as if he was going to leave. Cream was standing near by trying to convince him to rest.
"Whoa, hold it Shadow, your in no condition to go anywhere." Amy scolded.
"heh" Shadow just stared into space his thoughts far away.
"Where are the Chaos Emeralds?" He asked, oblivious to his wounds.
"Don't worry, they're safe." Streaky responded.
"Shadow, Who did this to you?"Amy asked
"I have no idea." came the response. "Who ever it was had a fighting style the likes of which I have never seen."
He glared of into space like he was reliving some unknown event.
"Is there any thing else you know about him?" Streaky asked.
Shadow shrugged, "All I know is that he was some sort of black reptile,"
Streaky sighed. That didn't help much. They had never met any black lizard before. Although for some reason, it made her uneasy.
" And he was able to defeat both me and super sonic."
Everyone was shocked. "You mean you were Super Shadow, with Super Sonic and he beat both of you, at once?" Amy gasped.
The room fell silent. Very few have ever beaten super sonic or super shadow let alone both of them at once.
"Shadow," Streaky spoke up, a sad look on her face. "I have one last question. What happened to Sonic?"
"He is gone." Came the quiet reply.
"Nooooo, Sonic!, Oops, Im sorry its just Im a die hard Sonic fan, Shadows pretty cool too, "Sniff" Allright I apologise to any Sonic and Shadow fans for this but, This had to happen due to the ammazing Strength of that villan, But take heart. Maybe Shadow was mistaking. Ok bye till next time, oh and please keep reading. "Sob"
