A/N
Silhouette: Hiya!
Shadow: Hello everyone. We had a little problem with communication between us and the Author so that's why this one took longer.
Silhouette: this chapter was a little difficult to write, I didn't really know how it was going to turn out, but I finally got it.
Shadow. ...Wait, what? You wrote this chapter?
Silhouette: ummm... *laughs nervously" actually I wrote them all.
Shadow: you what?
Silhouette: surprise!
Shadow: scratch what I said to open with I had a HUGE miscommunication with the Author. *glares at Silhouette*
Silhouette: *Smiles innocently* *halo*
Shadow: okay if you're the author the who was I talking to in the authors note in chapter 1?
Silhouette: Me.
Shadow: ... You can clone yourself. I forgot. Anyway, then I'm sure you're dying to say it?
Silhouette: sure... I don't own anything from Sonic or Avengers, and Issai belongs to thegodofirony.
Shadow: yeah that too, but I meant the OTHER thing.
Silhouette: oh, yes! Of course. ON WITH THE STORY!
0000000000
Two days had passed since Loki arrived on Mobius, and he would be helping the only person, that so far passed for a person in his mind, Except for he had no idea what he was saying most of the time. So while Eggman was at his desk coming up with a plan; something he had hoped Loki would've been able to help with; the god of mischief was laying on the collapsable bed Eggman had gotten out for him tossing the green Sol Emerald in the air, and catching it. Bottom line: he was bored.
"What is the purpose in these things?" Loki asked sitting up looking at the rest of them on the desk in front of Eggman.
"They're the source of power we need; without them we wouldn't have even a slight chance against that Blue pest." Eggman explained for the second time.
"If he'a such a pest, why don't you just use bug spray, or poison?" Loki suggested.
"Because..." Eggman said, annoyed. He looked back at the bored Asgardian. Loki sighed "I would not understand how unpredictable that Sonic the Hedgehog actually is." He finished with what the doctor had repeated so many times to him already that he lost count. Loki went up to the desk Eggman was working at, peeking over his shoulder at the designs for the battle robots. "How... Typical."
Eggman stopped, glaring up at him. "Do you have a better Idea?"
"No, no," Loki gestured towards his blueprints, "By all means, don't drag me into this."
"I expected you to have plan A already in progress."
"Your expectations are but foolish theory. You hold no power over me."
"I don't have to send you home, and from the looks of things, I won't be able to send you home."
Loki pressed the blade of his scepter to Eggman's back, "What do you mean you cannot return me home?"
"I mean that the quantum alinement between our two worlds was only opened for five minutes. That was one of the only times when travel was possible."
"If it were easy, everyone would do it. Find a way.
"the universe has it's own set of cycles; no matter how advanced our technology is we can't change that, and I'm not quite sure when the next one will occur, it could be a week, or not for ten years, but until then you will have to remain here."
Loki drew himself back, glancing across the lab once more, before making his way to his cot. He plopped down on the thin mattress, staring at eggman's back as he continued his work, seemingly unfazed by his interruption. Loki sighed, picking his green emerald back up, and turning it around in his hands, smiling to himself, "Humpty Dumpty sat in a chair, looking over his plans in despair; An army of hamsters, forbidden to bail, all wait for your bidding, though destined to fail..." He sighed, "Honestly, it torments me to observe you... Watching you think, it's truly painful..." He tossed the emerald in the air, catching it easily, "I have no hope do I?"
"that depends on how you handle this situation. Even if I wanted to I couldn't send you back, I wouldn't be able to do it unless it realigned. I also would have to find more power, our worlds are so far apart that two of the emeralds gave all there power, and are not of use anymore."
"One more question;" Loki called across the lab, "Why are they all called Emeralds if there all different colors?"
"Because... They just are." Eggman said turning back towards his desk, he glanced out the door and saw one of his robots passing. "Metal!?" He called out. The blue robot backed up Until it stood in the door way. "Yes, doctor?" Metal Sonic asked. "Go show Loki some of our plans. So I can be alone to think." Eggman told the Robot.
Metal Sonic agreed, and Loki followed him. "So... Can you talk?" Loki asked Thinking that he did hear it talk earlier. "Yes." Metal replied. "Where are we going?" Loki wondered, Metal Sonic didn't answer. as they passed several corridors Loki considered turning around, going back, staying bored in the room with the human.
"Father, I found him-" Issai said walking out of one of the corridors. Becoming silent when he saw Loki.
"Is this who you were talking about... Father?"
Metal Sonic entered the room Issai had come out of; leaving his 'son' and Loki in the hall, and the door closing behind him.
Issai, and Loki stood there Starring at each other. "So..." Loki said breaking the Silence that was becoming awkward. "What are you?"
"I'm The Ultimate Life Form . My name is Issai." He introduced himself.
"I am Loki, of Asgard. Is everyone here a hamster?" he asked .
Issai shook his head, slightly confused as to why Loki called him a hamster.
the door opened again; Crevice, and Metal Sonic came out. "I'm sorry, but I need to go. I'm looking for..." Crevice apologized.
"When you find him tell him: Eggman needs his help." Metal Sonic told him, starting to get annoyed by the hedgehog's consistent nice behavior.
"I will tell him. Bye!" Crevice waved. Then Chaos Controlled away.
Metal Sonic turned, and as best as a robot could, gave Issai a 'you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me' look. "I think you got the wrong Life Form."
"I wasn't expecting it either," Issai admitted shrugging his shoulders, and Throwing his hands in the air. "but there's only three people on Mobius Who have black Arms DNA, and he's one of them... Wait a second... Four people Counting the stuff you used for me." he counted with his fingers.
"This isn't working." Metal Sonic clenched his fist tightly. He looked at the Sol Emerald in Loki's hand. "We need to start at the source." he said smiling evilly with no mouth.
"The source?..." Issai thought out loud. "You mean of Black Arms?"
"His name is Black Doom." Metal Sonic told his 'son'. "I would do it myself, but I'm still currently undercover, and not allowed to leave the base."He said clenching his fist tighter, and glaring around at the Lair.
"I will find him, Father!" Issai said with an evil smirk.
"I'll try to help from here as much as I can, Son," Metal placed his robotic hand on Issai's shoulder. "but there's no promises on Instant responses."
Issai nodded his head in agreement, and took off through the hall.
Loki watched Issai hover down the hall. "Son?" He asked turning towards Metal Sonic.
"none of your business. Come on." the Robot said.
they walked In silence as Metal sonic ignored the Asgardian, and Loki wondering what the robot was doing and talking about.

the last thing Shadow remembered was a dark blue hedgehog glaring into the darkest parts of the unknown as he disappeared just as his gun exploded, and blacked out.
"ow,...my head." Shadow muttered trying to make words that made sense. He opened his eyes for a second glancing around at the blue and pink walls with pictures of Sonic everywhere. Shadow; although still kinda weak covered his eyes. "No. No. No. No. No. No. I'm dead I knew it, ...But somehow I never thought that Sonic was famous in this world too." Shadow peeked around at the room again. "I wonder if it's possible if I can kill myself again and go somewhere else."
A breeze blew in from the window knocking a small picture off the shelf above the bed; floating down and landed on Shadow's face. He picked up the picture and flipped it over to look at it. It was of Sonic and himself.
Shadow screamed jumping out of bed, chaos spearing the door down, running down the hall, tripping milliseconds later at the end of the hall, stumbling into what looked like a kitchen, landing on his back, and a dish towel falling on his face. to tired to move he just layer there breathing very heavily.
"You look like you've seen a ghost!" A high pitch Girly voice said.
"Ghost's dont exist." Shadow said weakly pulling the dish towel off his face looking up at Amy Rose. "NOT YOU TOO! the faker's gonna kill me twice, then bury me alive, and dance on my grave."
"I'm not sure I want to know."
"quick question." He said starring at the light, light, light ,almost white, pink ceiling. "Are we dead?"
Amy stopped cooking and looked down at the ultimate life form, staring at seemingly Nothing, probably the most scared she had ever seen him. "No. What gave you that idea?"
An audible sigh of relief swept over the black and red hedgehog. "The room... Soni...uh... er the faker was everywhere, ...he even fell on me. Wait... What are you some kinda psychiatrist?" His eyes shifted from the roof to the pink hedgehog.
Amy took the food off her stove and put it on two plates on the table. She looked down at Shadow, "do you want to eat on the floor, or at the table?"
Shadow glared at her not finding her funny at all probably because he kept ignoring his sense of humor and stood up; he looked at the pancakes with blue berries on them sitting across from each other on the table, "what are they?"
"they're Chao berry pancakes with my special blueberry sauce." Amy said sitting down at one of the plates, shadow made his way over to the other one and sat down Staring at the food in front of him. he rubbed his temples felling a headache coming on, "How long was I knocked out?"
"A little over a day."
"how did I get here?"
"I dragged you here, and not because I like you."
"did you hit me with your hammer?"
Amy was quiet, and quickly shoved another bite of pancake in her mouth.
"is that why my head hurts?"
"I have no idea how your head hurts, but you're a lot heavier then I thought, and wouldn't get in the bed."
shadow was about to try the pancakes "...Wait, You... We didn't-"
"EW! SHADOW, NO! I slept in the guest bedroom!"
"Why didn't you put me in the guest bedroom?"
"my bed is closer to the ground, and It was easier to get you in."
"Right." Shadow said awkwardly taking a bite of his food. "Mmm...good."
The rest of the time they were eating was kinda quiet. Shadow was finishing his food, "this really is good. you totally outdo Eggman's cooking any day."
"Thanks. I like doing it."
"in advance... I'm sorry about you door." He tried apologizing in his very awkward predicament.
"what happened to my door, ...Or do I want to know?
Shadow stood up, and put his dish in the sink and turned the water on, "I panicked." He admitted, as he washed his plate. "Sorry."
Amy put her plate in the sink for him to wash as well, and looked down the hall at the tiny wood pieces from her door. She sighed, "it's just a door. I can get it replaced." She calmed herself.
Shadow finished the dishes, "I think they're clean." He said backing away from the sink. Amy turned to see a sink full of bubbles, and The ultimate life form covered in bubbles as well. She giggled as he was wiping some of them off.
"I'll finish the dishes; you can go, but if you tell Sonic- "
"if the Faker finds out he got it from you; i'm not telling." He interrupted wiping the rest of the bubbles off. "thanks... Bye." He said walking out the front door. "I wonder what's happened in a day?" he thought to himself as he took off in the direction of Eggman's lair.
0000000000
a big metal door opened into a dark room. Metal Sonic flipped the lights on, and the latest one of Eggman's giant battle suits was standing there. "Is this what he does?" Loki asked walking up to the giant robot armor. "what does he use them for?"
"Guess."
"He couldn't have built this to wipe out the little blue hamster?"
"Bingo."
"talk about extinction, and he plans on using this?"
"he's used them in the past; I would think he built it for this battle."
Loki continued to wonder why they where making such a big fuss over killing one hedgehog.
Metal Sonic stood at the door while Loki wandered around the room. He looked over to the table Eggman would go to if he got board, and saw a hand, a metal hand, like his. Metal Sonic walked over to it, and placed his hand next to it. It was exact ally the same.
He pushed the hand aside, and found the blue prints that where used to make him only the name Sonic was marked through, and had Scourge written under it. He scanned the design nothing was dramatically different about the design other than the color. An idea came to Metal Sonic as he turned to continue 'babysitting' the Asgardian.
"Loki?" A voice called from the door as Shadow entered. Loki walked around the battle suit, "I remember you." He said noticing the black hedgehog. "I've forgotten your name though."
"Shadow the Hedgehog." He reminded him. "What are you doing in here?""
"I believe I pushed Humpty Dumpty over the wall; so he told the blue Metal Hamster to show me around." Loki said gesturing towards Metal Sonic.
"Humpty Dumpty?" Shadow repeated
"Metal Hamster?" Metal Sonic repeated
"Whatever, before you left your world you said you where doing something with your sister... What was it?" Shadow pushing the weird saying aside.
"why do you want to know?"
"No reason."
"we were in battle; my Sister had disappeared from it, and I was searching for her, but an hour later I was taken away to here."
"Was she okay?"
"She was before she left. After that I know nothing."
"Are you alright?"
"of course not I'm talking with a three foot, Black n' red, anthropomorphic hamster; with a boss that uses homing missiles, and laser ray guns, to get rid of a small blue hamster." Loki said almost in a panic. He bent down to shadow's level and whispered, "I think I'm going insane."
"The insanity has just started. You need food to survive; right? Why don't we go to the kitchen, and you can eat something. It might help you accept your delusions." Shadow said amused by how fast Loki 'thinks' he lost his mind.
0000000000
in the small kitchen Eggman had, Shadow and Metal Sonic came to an agreement; that even though it wasn't in his programming Metal Sonic would cook, while Shadow kept Loki company.
"Are you really an animal " Loki asked, still not believing that he was talking to a hedgehog, and the hedgehog was ACTUALLY RESPONDING BACK TO HIM!
"Sort of... I'm THE Ultimate Life Form. From a top secret file in the G.U.N. Data base called 'Project Shadow'. I was created by professor Gerald Robotnik, and the leader of an alien race, Black Doom, in Space Colony A.R.K. Over fifty years ago."
"You don't look fifty." Loki said like he was tired, and wasn't all there.
"I'm actually like... Seventy."
"You don't look seventy."
"I'm not suppose to age."
"I do age, but I'm also immortal."
"How old ARE you?"
"Eighteen, but in Midgard I'm one thousand, forty-seven."
"how old's is your sister?"
"She's a year younger than I am. Seventeen, but she's stopped aging, or as Midgardian's would say one thousand, forty-six."
"you don't look that old either."
"here." Metal Sonic said giving some of the food he made to Loki.
Loki looked down at the brown-red chunky sauce covered tube of meat in a bun that was put in front of him. "what is it?" He asked
"It's the only thing I know how to make: Chili dogs." Metal said then left to give the other one to Dr. Eggman.
Shadow face palmed as Loki stared at the chili covered hotdog.
"That robot is so much like the Faker it's not even funny anymore." Shadow muttered as he pulled his hand away from his face.
"why do you call him Faker?" The Asgardian asked picking up the food, and trying it; to his surprise it was actually good.
"it's a name he started calling me, I refuse to accept it, and throw back at him, but we never found out who was the real Faker. Which I know is Him."
Loki chuckled lightly "Thor, my brother, well adopted Brother, we fought like that,... Sort of." He said remembering the things he did in Asgard. "Thor would win most the fights though; he kept putting that stupid hammer on me that I couldn't lift. I finally outsmarted him. Rajah, my sister, she could lift the hammer, but she didn't like to do it, or us fighting, she would never join the fights our family had. Come to think of it she didn't like a lot of things, or people. She would talk to me, and told me a lot of things she would have never told anyone else. One thing was that she would pass out randomly; I'm not sure what caused it, but I was the only one she told on how to wake her up. I wonder why she did that?" Loki muttered. Looking over at the black Hedgehog during the end. "I'm boring you am I not?"
Shadow shook his head "no you're not. I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one trapped in misery."
Loki remembered that the last time he saw Shadow there was another one that looked like him, or did he imagine that? "The other black Hamst- Hedgehog; was your sister, Right? How is she?"
"still knocked out." He answered tracing out shapes on the table. "How do you wake yours up?"
"It wouldn't work on yours." Loki said taking another bite of the chili dog. Shadow nodded understandingly, but Loki had nothing else to do. "To wake up Rajah you have to hit her in the gut, and if it didn't work you would have to do it again with a dagger."
Shadow's head slowly looked up at the Asgardian, His eyes grew large shocked at what had to happen. "Ow" he whispered to himself.
"I wouldn't suggest doing it to your sister; it might kill her."
"believe me I won't do that to her." he told Loki 'I would have to do it to me for it to work on her.' he thought to himself
"you're a good listener."
This made Shadow half smile. "I was told I was raised around humans; I wish I could remember if this is true or not, but that's where I would guess where I got it from."
Metal Sonic entered the room again. Shadow stood up from the table."I'm gonna go check on Silhouette."
"Why do you help Sonic?" Metal Sonic asked Shadow as he was walking out the door.
"I don't. The Faker, and I ARE NOT friends. I just put up with him because he, and Sil Are." He told the robot then left. Loki chuckled amused at the hedgehog's repulsion to the one called Sonic.
0000000000
On Angel Island our three companions Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails were working hard, and already had the frame of the house set up.
Silver was there too watching to make sure Silhouette was still alive. The two sat by the Master Emerald, and he would use his telekinesis to help if they needed it, but otherwise never moved.
"it's a good thing we finished that room first. Now we won't bother them as much." Sonic commented as he built a wall in a matter of seconds.
"do ya think he'll be okay?" Tails asked mixing some more concrete.
Sonic smiled "don't worry about it. They'll both be fine." He said giving the fox a thumbs up. "Now, come on, Knuckster! what else needs to be done?" He asked
"Well for starters you could call me by me REAL name!" The Echidna yelled
"yeah, got it. What's next knuckle-head?"
He sighed finishing making sure that the next wall was level. "it's Knuckles, and you can build up this one now."
"Alright!" Sonic exclaimed. Then started building up the wall faster than anyone could really knew what was going on.
"I see you've never slowed down since the last time I saw you." Blaze said walking up to the trio.
"Long time, No see. How'a the future?" Sonic asked jumping down from the wall he just put up.
"They are doing well."
"that's a relief. I was hoping you weren't coming back to fix the timeline, again."
"I too hope I don't have to, but the Sol Emerald have been taken, and Silver is missing."
"The fernhead's not missing; he's in that room with Sil." Sonic told the purple cat pointing at the room they has finished building.
Blaze nodded, "What are they doing? Is he alright?"
"Can't really say;" Knuckles said leveling another part of the house. "he's been in there for three days."
"Silvers Fine." Shadow said hovering past them. "Has he said anything else?"
"Nothing." Tails said "I even tried to pin point exactly what's wrong, but Nothing worked the tests results say she's normally fine, and healthy."
"the kid's still with her right?"
"never left her for a second."
"we haven't checked on them in a while so if you wanted to see how the two lovers are doing go right ahead." Sonic said gesturing both arms to the room with a little bow.
Shadow raised an eyebrow at the blue hedgehog. "if you won't I will." Blaze said heading towards the room. Shadow put his arm out blocking her path. "I'll do it."
0000000000
"Is she alright?" Shadow asked as he entered the Master Emerald Room.
Silver shook his head. He sat a few feet away from the unconscious girl.
"She's still alive, but she hasn't woke up yet, she started breathing again so that's a bonus! I don't see how she could be doing any better under these conditions though."
"Blaze is outside-" Shadow gestured towards the doorway.
"She's here to see Sonic." Silver responded not even flinching.
"She said she was looking for you."
"She meant Sonic."
Shadow might not be the brightest, but from what he was told, and saw noticed that Silver actually did liked her. (one reason was. because they had to build the room around the two of them)
"Why don't you go... somewhere? Take a break; she's not going to move." Shadow told him thinking he needed a break.
"No, but she might wake up, and I think someone needs to be here when she does."
"Sooo. Are you going at least going to tell Blaze 'Hi'?"
Silver stood up walked over to the doorway. "Hi, Blaze!" He yelled waving at the purple cat. Shadow rolled his eyes, and Sliver sat back down where he was before.
"There's nothing I can say to make you change your mind?"
"Nope."
"That's what I thought."
Shadow went back outside
"Well Doc, how are the patients?" Sonic asked as Shadow was walking around the room.
Shadow knew Sonic was a little concerned, even though it seemed like he didn't care. "They're Fine. Watch the doorway. Don't follow me." He said hiding on the other side of the room.
The four mobines exchanged looks of confusion.
"I don't remember him ever having Anxiety before." Blaze said when they couldn't see him any more.
"I guess there's a first time for everything." Sonic said, shrugging.
A loud crash was heard, and Silver came out of the room confused as well; he walked over the way Shadow did and saw the black, and red life form leaning up against the wall holding his stomach, rolling over in pain.
"What are you doing?" Silver asked.
Shadow quickly stood up as if nothing had happened. "Nothing. Just keeping things interesting. How's Silhouette?" He asked changing the subject.
"She's the same."
Shadow nodded, and the two of them joined the others, but Silver managed to slip away.
"What happened?" Knuckles asked. Shadow shook his head to say 'nothing'.
"Silver?" Blaze asked as the white hedgehog joined them again with his head hung low. He looked up at her and forced a smile.
"What?" Shadow asked
"Silhouette. ...she's ...dead." He answered hesitantly. "I'm sorry." Blaze said putting her hand on his shoulder.

A/N
Shadow: What the...
Silhouette: The End!
Shadow: huh what do you mean 'the end' it can't end there! You Have to write another chapter!
Silhouette: suspenseful eh?
Shadow: this isn't funny!
Silhouette: okay in the next chapter I'll be gone and everyone else is carrying on like I never existed; is that what you want?
Shadow: I want to at least meet my brother. Let me know I'm not alone!
Silhouette: you're not alone, but you do have to tell Odin what happened.
Shadow: *freeze* *eyes grow huge*... YOU HAVE TO COME BACK! THE ALLFATHER FREAKS ME OUT! DON'T LEAVE!
Silhouette: CALM DOWN! You'll find out whether you have to go back with Loki to Asgard to tell Odin when everyone else does.
Shadow: But... But... But I'm your brother.
Silhouette: yep! So is Loki. Also one thing I will say to avoid confusion 'The Ultimate Life form' name is automatically Shadow's if there's more that one in the room. 'The First Ultimate life form' is Silhouette(me), 'The Life form' would be Crevice (Black Doom doesn't consider him 'Ultimate'), and Issai would be the New Ultimate Life form.
Shadow: just so we all know; How many Chapters are you planning in writing?
Silhouette; I'm gunna try to do around 50, but that all depends on how everything in the story goes.
Shadow: I feel sorry for Silver., you just left him standing there.
Silhouette: technically I left everyone 'Standing there'.
Shadow: So when are you going to be 'standing there' with us?
Silhouette: nice try!
Shadow: ok so hopefully there will be 44 chapters left; something has to happen.
Silhouette: yep and you'll find that out in the next chapters. Bye! *walks away*
Shadow: But... Never mind. The less I mess with her the faster the chapter will get done. *looks to viewers* oh hello... Again. Umm... Thanks for reading! tell us what you think, and if you would prefer if Silhouette comes back. I'm not sure what she will be writing in the next chapters, (she doesn't tell me at all) but I will give her your suggestions, and if it fits with what she has it could happen. (Please make her come back; I really don't want to face Odin. Not that I'm scared of him.) till the next chapter! *wave* see ya!
