Soni's Pov

Man, did it feel great to be back with the guys. Heck it was nice to see Amery too! I sat down across from Sonic, Tammy sitting next to me, and Amery holding on to my arm. Knuckles and Kay were leaning against a tree watching us, as Tails handed Sonic and I blue communicator watches.

"Way cool, Tails!" Sonic said latching his watch to his wrist as Tammy helped my do the latch on mine.

"This is awesome, Tails!" I said looking closer at it, Tails was beaming as he explained everything to us, I sighed everything seemed right again. I looked over to Sonic he was just kicking back relaxing, then his face grew serious as he turned to me, then looked over to Tammy.

"So, Tammy. What all did you find out about Shadria?" Sonic asked sitting up, Tammy leaned against me looking a little worried

"Well, you know about Shadow's past right?" She said, Sonic nodded.

"Her past is basically the same as his, She lived with her grandfather and her brother in a laboratory, but some federal agents came and shut down her grandfather's work. While she and her brother were escaping, her brother was-"

"Shot." I finished remembering the Shadow Saga on TV used to watch Sonic X. I gasped realizing how everything suddenly connected.

" Girls, I think Sonic Adventure 2 is happening all over again." I said getting up and started to pace around our resting spot, Tammy and Kay looked up at me as they realized what I was talking about. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles looked confused, I had forgotten we hadn't fully explained everything.

"Sonic, you remember when everyone confused Shadow for you and the whole Space Colony Ark problem?" I asked walking over to him, he nodded.

"That entire adventure was a game here, SA2 (Sonic Adventure 2) is happening again. Only its happening for us." Tammy finished everyone suddenly looked troubled, I sighed shaking my head at them

"Oh come on! Don't be so glum! You know what happened at the end, everybody turned out fine-"

"Except Shadow," Amy cut in glaring at me, I sighed.

"Shadow ended up okay in the end, remember Egghead saved him before he could burn up in the atmosphere."

"Yeah, but things could play out differently here, Soni. We can't count on what exactly happened to them to happen to us, we have to be on our toes." Kay said walking up to me, a hand on her hip, I rolled my eyes.

"Mmhmm… we have to be on our toes like how you were when you got beat up by Rogue?" I muttered to myself and as expected I was knocked to the ground, Kay trying to get her hands around my neck. I shoved her to the side jumping up, making kissing noises.

"Kay and Rogue sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" I chanted grinning wildly as I dodged to the side narrowly avoiding Kay.

"Get back here you, little pest!" Kay snarled as she ran after me, I jumped up on to a low tree branch. I pulled my eye lid down making dumb faces at her, which didn't help my situation at all but it was fun! And seriously, couldn't we all use a little fun? I jumped down as Kay knocked down the tree I was standing on, I ran over to Sonic who was laughing like crazy! Kay was about to charge at me again when Knuckles grabbed her arm stopping her from trimming the forest down.

"Too funny!" Sonic said grinning as we slapped hands, I could hear Kay and Knuckles growling. A new idea popped into my head, I turned to them smirking.

" Sorry Kay, I should have realized you like Knuckles better." This time they both turned a bright red then I started to run for my life, yeah. It was great to be back with the guys.

Shadria's Pov

I leaned against the wall watching as Egglina yelled at Metal Sonic for letting Sonic get away with Soni. I rolled my eyes as I stepped forward exasperated at their bickering.

" Oh forget about that faker! We need to continue with my plan, or have you forgotten?" I snarled, Egglina narrowed her eyes then turned back to the computer screen behind me. Metal glared at me, I waved it off. He was only small asset to what I was trying to accomplish, and was really unnecessary. I snarled under my breath the plan was taking longer than I originally expected, I whirled around when a hand rested on my shoulder.

"Patience, Shadria." He soothed his deep voice sending chills down my spine, I shoved his hand away from my shoulder and began walking out into the hall frustrated. I couldn't recall Shadow having this much trouble when he tried to destroy the earth. Memories of that episode, He saved earth remembering what he promised Maria. Maybe…maybe I shouldn't be- I tensed hearing footsteps behind me, I already knew who it was but it was still unsettling. I gasped as I was shoved against the wall, I snarled as I glared into crimson eyes.

"Let me go!" I snarled trying to push him away, he pinned my arms to my sides. We were so close that our noses nearly touched, my heart was racing and for a second I feared for my life.

"I swear if you don't release me immediately you'll regret it!" I growled struggling against his hold on me, he smirked leaning closer to me.

"I wouldn't make threats if I were you, considering your situation I apparently have the upper hand." Shadow said gripping my wrists, I twisted to the side throwing him off balance, I kicked my leg up giving him the final shove. I jumped back, my body tensed for a fight. He looked up to me smirking, then slowly started walking towards me. In a instant I reacted, he curled himself into a spin dash towards me, I threw a 'Chaos Spear' sending him flying backwards in the hall. I smirked, a flash of light blinded me for a second, but a second was all he needed. I was sent sprawling to the ground, before I could jump back up, he kneeled in front of me tightly gripping my chin.

"Don't test me, Shadria." He growled forcing me to look up at him, I shoved him away for the third or fourth time in the past five minutes.

" You need an attitude adjustment, Shadria. I've been letting you off lately for your attitude but I'll no longer make exceptions." He said turning away from me as he started for the opposite end of the hall. I was furious, how dare he tell me I need an adjustment, it wasn't a walk in the park working with the ultimate life form.

" Why don't you take your ' Attitude Adjustment' and shove it where the sun don't shine!" I snarled then turned around, it was becoming harder and harder to deal with Shadow, it suddenly seemed like Shadow didn't want to help me. I would have thought that because of our similar situations that he would help some, but then again you couldn't rely on Shadow the Hedgehog. I looked back at him but only he was gone, I sighed and turned back around then yelped. He stood staring me down, as I took a step back he took a step forward. It was like he could see right through me, like he knew I was afraid, or that I was undecided. My once pulled up hair was now falling around my face, I pushed it aside as I looked up at him. His hard expression suddenly softened, he glared at me then walked off. His mood swings were giving me whiplash, and I was ready for him to leave if he wasn't going help or do more than he's doing now. I tucked loose hair behind my ear and continued down the empty corridor, I'm not sure of anything any more. Am I really doing what's best? Or trying to fulfill a silly dream of revenge? I shook my head, it had to be right.

"I will avenge him, I promise." I said softly to myself with fists clenched. I had to, I promised.
