"Now you can no longer harm anyone else!"
"Didn't we get past the whole memory problem thing?"
"SILENCE! PREPARE TO DIE!"

Throwing everything he had into a chaos blast, it was over.

Falling into the ground exhausted, his fur back to being black, he had finished his mission.

Or so he thought, as through the smoke he could see a faint golden glow, get larger and closer.

"Impossible." Shadow said as fear crept across his face.

As he tried to crawl away, Super Sonic slowly came out of the smoke and towards him.

"It's impossible!" Shadow shouted trying to get his feet with what little energy he had left.
"Go tell Eggman, his reign is over!" Super Sonic warned before flying off

Shadow just smiled and slowly melted away glad his master plan was in full swing.

Marble Zone

The old castle had been repaired into a dark fortress that Eggman used as a holiday vacation. While it had been hard the first time, this time round it would be even harder as the mad doctor had fitted hidden traps and spike traps that would fall from no where. As Super Sonic landed with a heavy thud and a purpose as the screams of robotisation rang from deep inside.

"For someone so fast, your late." A voice said from the shadows.
"Make it quick, I have a egg to crack."
"Speed isn't everything, you have to slow down and think before you make a grave mistake." The Hooded figure warned stepping out of the shadows
"Are we done?" Super Sonic asked crossing his arms and tapping his foot.

The hooded figure just shook his head in disapointment before fading into the shadows as Super Sonic raced off into the devils pit.

Dark Fortress

Easily racing past the traps laid out for him Super Sonic was on a mission to end this before time ran out. The talk with the mystery figure had cost him vaulble seconds that he didn't have and the taunting by Eggman wasn't helping his cause.

Comming to a fork in the road his time had finally come to an end and the golden quills faded to blue and fell down from their raised posisition.

"Problem Hedgehog? Let me make it easy for you!"
"Help me Sonic!" "Help us!"

The pleas for help came from both tunnels. From the left came the crys of thousand of resisdents that looked up to him to always protect them but from the right came a cry of help from a friend that he had came to see as a brother.

"What will it be Sonic, your status as a hero or your dearest friend!" Eggman gloated knowing that not even Sonic could be in two places at once.
"Damn it!" Sonic shouted thumping the ground as a tear fell from his eye.
"Make the right choice Sonic, don't let your heart over rule your sense of judgement!" The Hooded figure warned.

Deep down he knew he was right but how could he live with himself knowing he had let a brother down. Looking up and staring the hooded figure down, he had made his choice. He would rescue Tails, race back and rescue the others from their robot prision.

"I know what your thinking but your wrong, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few! Or have you forgotton that."
"I can do it, trust me!"
"I knew a hedgehog just like you, confident in his ability, he made the wrong mistake and the price he paid was to much. Your better than that, now do the right choice. "
"Yes Sonic, do the right choice but do quick because time is ticking." Eggman warned as Sonic slowly got to his feet.

Wiping the tears from his eyes, he bowed his head and whispered "I'm sorry."
