Shadow X Sonic (Chapter 2)

Sonic laid there on the cold floor unconscious. He was starting to come out of his unconscious state, when he felt someone nudging him awake calling his name. The voice calling his name kept getting louder till Sonic realized it was Shadow's voice calling his name. "Sonic wake up, we need to find the others and know what has happened to us." Sonic barely was conscious when he noticed the pain that covered his body. But the heaviest pain was in his head. Sonic was focusing on the pain till he realized what Shadow had said.

"What do you mean, what has happened to us?" Sonic opened his eyes to look at Shadow but what he saw wasn't a black and red Hedgehog. It was a human standing there with his back faced towards Sonic. A human with Black Hair with red highlights in his hair, with tanned skin and he was naked! Sonic blushed and looked down. It was then that he noticed that the human just had shoes on. Black, white and Red shoes like the ones that Shadow wears.

"Are you fully conscious now?" It was Shadow's voice but it was coming from the naked human standing there. When the human turned around, Sonic noticed it was the same eyes as Shadow.

"Shadow… is that really you?" Sonic couldn't believe it. It was Shadow standing there, but he was human. Sonic stood to stand eye level with Shadow. Shadow just turned away.

"Before you start judging me, why don't you take a good look at yourself." Sonic was confused by his words till he looked down at himself and realized that he was human as well along with something else.

"AHH, why the heck am I NAKED?" Sonic couldn't believe he was human or the fact that he was wearing nothing but shoes. He squat down to cover himself from Shadow. Shadow turned to face him with an angry face.

"Of all the things you notice or comment on, isn't the fact that your human but the fact that you're NAKED!" Sonic started to blush.

"Well can you blame me?" Shadow sighed.

"No, but it wouldn't come to a surprise. After all we were naked as hedgehogs."

"But that's different. As hedgehogs we didn't need clothes." Sonic stood to shout at Shadow. Shadow turned the other way.

"Either way we can guess this is a result of Eggman plan and that bright light we saw." Shadow stared beyond distance looking as if he was searching for something.

"What is it Shadow?" Sonic looked out to where Shadow was staring. Maybe there was something there, he thought.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something. But we have to go search for Eggman. I want to know what he did to us and what the point of turning us human was." It was then when Shadow had a sudden thought and a look of horror went across his face.

"What's wrong Shadow?" Shadow worrying, was making Sonic nervous. Not that he would ever admit it.

"Hold a second, just let me make sure." Shadow looked around to make sure the coast was clear. "I'm going to check around the area to make sure it's clear." Before Sonic could say another word, Shadow was gone. He was back in a minute. But he looked much more relieved.

"What did you find Shadow?" Shadow took a breath of relief.

"Nothing, but I was worried that when we were turned human our … talents were gone."

"Our Talents, you mean like our ability to run at hyper speeds?" Suddenly Sonic was very worried himself. He wanted to make sure he still had his speed. Sonic spotted a huge rock about 200 feet away. He set out to run to the rock and back. He took a breath and ran as fast as he could. When he came back within a matter of seconds he realized he still had his speed. He was relieved. No wonder Shadow did the same and wanted to make sure. He didn't blame him. After all his Speed was his freedom. Nobody could outrun him, well nobody expect Shadow. But it was an even draw when it came to Shadow. But Sonic didn't mind Shadow too much.

"Well I'm glad that we still have our speeds, but we should get to the matter at hand, like looking for Eggman." Sonic knew Shadow was right but there was something he was forgetting in all this excitement. ..

"Wait Shadow, I have to look for my friends, Tails and Knuckles. They were in the blast with us." Shadow looked to be getting impatient.

"Fine but we need to find Eggman as fast as we can; I am going to make him pay. I swore it. Besides there might be other side effects to what Eggman did besides turning us human. " Sonic knew he was right but still his friends came first.

"Alright, but how will we know it's them. I mean I didn't even know it was you at first. How did you even know it was me, in the first place?" Shadow just chuckled a bit.

"It was easy." Shadow walked up to Sonic, moving his hand towards Sonic's face. Sonic couldn't help but to blush. Shadow has never been this close to him. What made it worse was that he couldn't tell if it was his face heating up or Shadow's warm breath on his face. Finally Shadow took hold of a piece of Sonic's hair. "It was your blue hair."

"Huh?" Sonic was confused. "What?"

"I doubt if any real humans have blue hair, and even if they had colored it blue, I doubt there would be any normal humans out here." Shadow stepped away, letting go of Sonic's hair. "But either way we should start searching for your friends since you want to make sure if they're okay, along with finding Eggman." Shadow was right. Sonic knew that without him saying it.

"You're right Shadow. Let's go look. I don't know if what happened to us has happened to my friends. But if we find Tails, he can help us look for Eggman." Shadow nodded. Both of the two Boys went off to start their search.

Tails followed behind Knuckles, while they were looking for Sonic. He just couldn't believe what had happened to the two of them. They were human. It was so cool, because now they could totally fit in with everybody else on this Earth. He could even go out to eat with Chris without people thinking he was a pet or a stuff animal they could play with. But if anything he thought he was pretty cute for a human. He was a head shorter then Knuckles, but he had short blonde hair with blue eyes like the sky, While Knuckles had red long hair with two green clips in front that matched his forest green eyes. He was getting too excited that he nearly forgot that it was due to Eggman's plan that they were this way, meaning that it couldn't have been good. Luckily, he was able to mess with the programing a bit so he was able to lessen the results. Tails theory was that the machine was meant to turn them completely human but thanks to the meddling he did, they were still able to keep their talents. Expect flying, Couldn't fly without his tails, but he still had his intellects. And Knuckles was still able to toss boulders around like nothing, and punch though walls and rubble. It was a good thing that Knuckles was with him when the blast went off, he wasn't far when they awoke. "Knuckles, do you think we are close to finding Sonic?" Granted, even if being human would be an awesome thing, the fact reminds that it was Eggman's doing so it can't be good in the long enough. And they had to figure out what was Eggman's plan. Tails was so deep in thought that he didn't even notice when Knuckles had stopped, till he bumped into him.

"I don't know. Odds are that he and Shadow got out of there safely. But as for where they are, I have no clue. We just have to keep looking and hopefully we'll run into them." Knuckles then spotted something and started to head towards it. "Tails… this way, hurry." Knuckles took off in a light pace towards a bunch of rubble. There were machinery items underneath a huge mess of rubble. Knuckles started to lift heavy pieces and tossing them aside to reveal the machinery. Tail's face lit up right away when he noticed the radio. It was broken but Tails could easy enough fix it, no problem.

"We can use this to contract Chris for help." Tails started to get to work on the radio so he could signal Chris to bring the X- Tornado to come get them and help look for Sonic, and maybe bring some clothes. The one thing about being human that stink, was that they had no fur and it was a cold night.
