A/N: Sorry I was late! School stuff and...other things were pressuring me. But oh well!
WARNING! SONADOW AHEAD!
It was a cloudy afternoon. Sonic happily zoomed by trees and bushes, with a tightly sealed paper bag in hand. He finally bought the brand-new gun that his lover wanted so badly. It felt a little wrong to carry a gun in the form of a hero, but that feeling soon disappeared when he imagined Shadow's happy, smiling face when he receives the gift.
The azure hedgehog soon reached the door of the Ultimate Lifeform's house. He burst the unlocked door open, expecting a warm greeting from his boyfriend.
"SHADOW! You're gonna LOVE what I brought for you here!"
Silence.
"…Shadow?" Sonic called out cautiously, having a strange feeling. He searched through the whole first floor. The kitchen, the living room, the toilet, the backyard. Yet his lover was still not found. "SHADOW!" Sonic called out once again, this time in slight panic. He quickly dashed upstairs to Shadow's room, and opened the closed door with a loud bang. "Shadow?! What were you doi-"
The blue hero dropped the paper bag to the floor, speechless at the sight before his emerald eyes. Shadow The Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform, was lying on the floor, with his crimson red eyes staring at the ceiling lifelessly. He had thousands of stab marks all over his body, dried blood covering the hideous cuts. His once crisp white chest fur was now brown and red, stained from the fresh blood flowing out of his chest. His back had several bloody holes, most likely a gun's doing. His black body striped with red seemed like a red body striped black.
The morning birds chirped to greet the morning, jumping from branches of oak trees to another. "Aaah!" Sonic woke up with a scream, panting, sweat running all over his body. He was sitting upright on his bed, with the same clothes from the previous night. Why did it have to be that again? I don't want to remember that horrifying scene anymore. He thought, trying to calm himself down, only to fail. He shuddered, and his panting increased as the gory image passed by his eyes once again. A teardrop fell to his blanket. "He's…he's the ultimate lifeform. How could he die like that?" He slowly wiped his tears away from his eyes, clearing the blurry vision. He suddenly noticed orange leather sitting on the corner of his bed. Sonic picked it up to identify the object closely.
A notebook? Sonic tilted his head a little sideways in confusion. He didn't remember keeping one. He always tended to lose them. He flipped it open, going through the contents one by one. Almost all of them were filled with mathematical calculations, except the last page. It read: "Finally, I will be able to rule this universe, and that Sonic won't be able to stop me! Not with his "date" gone, filled with despair! Ho ho ho!" The blue hedgehog was shocked. Does this mean Shadow was murdered by someone on PURPOSE?! Sonic's horrified expression slowly turned to an angered face. The calculations…words like "ruling the universe"…the way he laughs… Sonic could guess the identity of the one who's caused this mess without a doubt.
"EGGMAN!"
