Disclaimer: I own NOTHING in this story!
Shadow woke from his sleep and his eyes nearly open he looked to his left and right. He noticed he was in the hospital and in the emergency room. He had a bandage across his forehead and his parts of his arms bandaged up as well. Across his chest was bandaging, he remembered what happened but surprised of his many injuries. Doctors, men and women walked around the room. The surgeon was talking to another doctor showing him x-rays of shadows injuries. "Alright everyone lets help shadow out and heal these wounds.'' the surgeon spoke. As they surrounded him, shadow struggled to get up "Keep him down!'' the surgeon exclaimed shadow struggled and got angrier every second. Shadow halted and he started to shake, one of the doctors looked at his heart monitor and it started going faster. "He's getting out of control!'' the doctor shouted shadow clenched his hands and opened them releasing a chaos blast and slamming the doctors onto the floor and walls.
Shadow sat up and ripped the cords and bandages off him and he kicked through the doors and stomped out shadow sped through the halls and he spotted a window and broke through it and fell down to the ground and landed with the ground cracking below his feet. He dashed through the streets and it was night, he quickly maneuvered through traffic and he was going through a quiet neighborhood and stopped in front of a metal garage door. He grabbed the handle and opened it up, he walked in and turned on a light, sitting in the garage was his black G.U.N. attack jeep. He got in the driver seat and the key was already in it and started the jeep. The engine revved he drove out of the garage and drifted onto the road. His face got angrier "I'm coming to save you kuki if it's the last thing I do.'' he thought to himself, shadow burned out and then put it in first gear and drove at quick speeds to rescue kuki.
Sunrise came and shadow was on the outskirts of the city and still driving he stopped the jeep and looked ahead of him far in the distance was the Egg Carrier. He growled and put the petal to the metal and sped to its location. Shadow perked up and looked over his shoulder to see Eggman's welcoming party gaining on him. Shadow smirked and pressed a button, in the back of the jeep a compartment for the turbo opened and fired and his vehicle went faster.
Shadow saw how persistent the robots were and saw in front of him to see more robots heading to him. Shadow grabbed what is suppose to be the emergency brake, instead he lifted the cap with his thumb and out of the side of the jeep were to rocket pods, shadow pressed it again and a volley of missiles fired and struck all the robots down shadow drove through the smoke and looked behind him no more trailing robots. He looked in front and gulped and quickly metal knuckles grabbed the hood of the car and stood up. Shadow hopped out of the drivers seat and grabbed metal knuckles by the head and repeatedly slammed his head into the hood of the car. Shadow kneed metal in the chest and he flung off in front of the jeeps path and drove over metal knuckles. Shadow looked back and saw metal knuckles coming back again.
Shadow with quick reflexes grabbed metal by the neck and he reached into the jeeps glove box and pulled out a knife and drove it into the chest of metal knuckles, shadow cut open a hole in metals chest until the piece fell of. Metal knuckles stumbled back until shadow stuffed a C4 charge into the hole shadow cut open, with that shadow back flipped away from the car and in mid air he pressed the detonator and the jeep and metal knuckles burst into flames. Shadow stood up and saw above him flying. Shadow teleported and with luck he landed in top of the flying ship. Shadow stomped the hull hard and it fell in shadow hopped in and landed in a hallway. Shadow ran to the bridge for his final confrontation with Eggman. Shadow stopped at the door to the bridge he had dual MP5s and he took a deep breath and kicked the door down and skidded across the floor and behind Eggman who jumped and held his hands up. "You're going to have to try harder than that to take me down.'' he stated. "It can't be, your still alive?'' Eggman said shockingly shadow smirked "I'm the ultimate life form, you can't stop me.'' he remarked.
Eggman growled then chuckled shadow looked confused "That poison energy is still in you, shadow you will die.'' he told him. Shadow noticed behind him metal sonic charging full blast, shadow evaded it and jumped to the left and fired both guns at metal back, the bullets hit metal jet boosters and they exploded metal crashed and slid across the ground with shadow jumping on top of him.
Shadow stepped of him and dragged him by the leg and jumped up and threw him down back into the ground. Shadow picked him back up repeatedly punching metal in the stomach, shadow ended it by using his foot as an uppercut and back flipping in the process. Shadow dashed and swung kick into metal face sending him impacting the wall. Metal sonic flopped to the ground, shadow marched to him and picked him up by the neck and drew his desert eagle and aimed into metal chest and fired metals eyes which glowed red dimmed to blank shadow threw him to the ground.
Shadow looked around to see Eggman has escaped. Shadow ignored it and headed to the cell block. Shadow walked past many empty cells and stopped in front of one and saw kuki laying down in fear. Shadow smiled for once he grabbed the bars and bent them to the left and right. Kuki heard the sound and she got up and to see her friend standing before her. She could only shed tears and she took one step and was shocked to see him still alive. She ran out of her cell and hugged him fiercely. She sobbed into his shoulder, shadow enjoyed the moment and was actually filled with happiness. "Shadow…you came…for me..'' she attempted to say the words. Shadow smiled "Of course I'll always be there for you.'' he said she smiled back at him, so he grabbed her hand and they held onto each others hand tightly. Shadow and Kuki walked pass the generator room, shadow stopped and walked back to it. "I'm tired of this ship, its going down.'' he stated walking into the room he placed multiple C4s and walked out of the room and picked kuki up and in his other hand he held his green chaos emerald with his power he teleported above the ship. He detonated the explosives, once they detonated the ship rumbled shadow looked over the edge to see they were above the clouds and way to high up. Shadow gulped ship went into freefall. Shadow and kuki closed their eyes from the wind blowing in their face. Shadow widened his eyes to see the egg carriers crash site: The city below was about to become a parking lot.
"There's no way to stop it.'' shadow said. The city neared their range. People below pointed up to the massive ship coming in for a crash landing, the people scattered and panicked of course. Finally the huge carrier crashed and split through a few buildings and grinded through the city sweeping through everything in its way. Cars drove away and some even crashed into each other, people ran form the giant ship. The Egg Carrier finally came to a halt, shadow still held kuki in his arms safely. He jumped off the egg carrier and onto the ground and saw the waste it left. Shadow walked over to a sidewalk and he set kuki down and he sat next to her. They both breathed heavily because of their close face to face with death.
Shadow stared up into the sky and saw crossing over them, he got up and clenched his fists "Eggman, just doesn't know when to quit.'' he said angrily. He gripped his chest and gasped the pain was getting worse and worse by the minute. "Shadow!'' kuki yelled shadow put his hand in front of her and she stopped. "Kuki its almost time, I want you to go the G.U.N. headquarters here.'' he told her. "No, I can't" she protested "You must, they'll protect you.'' he said. She lowered her head as tears streamed down her cheeks, shadow lifted her chin and her tear filled eyes met his. "I'll love you forever kuki, now run!'' he said. Kuki gave him one last hug and she got up and took a few steps back and she started running. Shadow watched her run, a whole robot army waited in front of shadow, he raised an eyebrow and he got up. Shadow held two desert eagles and he crossed them over his chest. The frontline of robots all aimed their weapons, and at the same time, a wall of bullets flew at Shadow…
