Love Struck

Chapter 224 – Shadow The Savior

Shadow's POV June 19th 5:00pm Rebellion HQ in Pakistan's Capital City.

"Writing my name on the line I signed it and declared today the day the world looks away from it's past and starts a new. Today I finished the war that had killed so many in the past years that it was about time to see a changed among the people who inhabit the world we call home. My name is Shadow The Hedgehog and I declare today June 19th the day where we all have come to terms and accepted our freedoms and mistakes. Today we abide by a new law. A law that grants everyone on this planet equal rights and equal liberty. Today the world we live in will see a brighter light and today we will all realize we can work together and overcome any challenge without the threat of death and fear. Today I place my name on this treaty that states all countries around the world have the chance to become their own government and that they have the chance to make something new of themselves. To change their ways and start a new. It took so long and cost the lives of so many, but I see here today that my Rebellion and the Guardians Units Of The Nation can come forth and shake hands saying to one another that this war and decrepit fighting can stop and come to an end worth dying for. Today I sign and today my name and all who have fought and died to make this happen will forever be burned in our history books signifying that the end has come and that today we can as a nation can make anything we see as a goal for the better come true. We can take hold of our power and take hold of our deception to make anything become reality. It is my great honor as the leader to the Rebellion to be here today and end this all. I will write my name on this line and by that meaning the war has come to an end and that we can now start becoming something greater then a group. We can become one, solid, smart, and powerful nation where anything can be accomplished so long as we can work together to make it to the end. My name is Commander Shadow The Hedgehog and I accept the terms of what I am about to do and whatever is to come."

Taking the pen in hand I bent over the table and began to sign my name on the dotted line. As I finished my friends and the world cheered out in happiness and bliss as the war had become undone and we are finally free.

Standing back straight I lowered the pen and shook Hecan Moore's hand and with a big smile and a heart full of freedom we hugged and patted each others backs signifying we agree and we will do whatever it takes for now and forever to fight for the greater good of the entire world.

Retracting we faced the cameras and smiled for the pictures that would go down in history as the day G.U.N and Shadow's Rebellion came together and made peace, forever changing the world making it as we have all envisioned since the day we began our fight for what we were owed. Freedom.

Shadow's POV July 27th 8:00pm Pakistan Hospital

I smiled as Alicia was giving birth to Raptor's baby. It was quite a sight to be honest. Raptor never looked so happy as he was given his baby boy. He cried in happiness as Alicia and him kissed and played with their son's fur. He was cute to be honest. Reminds me of my boy. Lowering my head I looked up to see Raptor walk over with his baby in his arms.

Gently he offered me to take him.

In surprise I took the little hedgehog in my arms and stared into his green eyes. He was so young and innocent it made me start to cry in joy.

Running my finger on his chest I laughed and smiled as he giggled in happiness.

Raptor and Alicia smiled as I laughed and cried holding their son and looking up I asked.

"What's his name?"

Raptor looked at Alicia and quickly she said.

"It's your son. You choose."

Raptor was caught off guard and approached me gently taking his boy from my arms.

Looking into his eyes he thought.

Wiping my eyes I looked at Alicia who smiled widely.

Raptor smiled and in time he looked up and asked.

"How about Ghost?"

Widening my eyes Alicia looked up and asked.

"Is that a good name Shadow?"

Looking down I smiled and replied.

"It's perfect. Are you sure?" I asked Raptor who stared down into his son's eyes.

Looking up with a smile he replied.

"Yes."

"Alright then." I replied as Alicia added.

"He's all yours now baby. I'll do what I can, but you asked for him."

Smiling Raptor laughed and replied.

"I think we'll be fine."

Staring at him and his new born boy I smiled and opened the door letting all our friends enter and see the baby. Exiting into the hall I began to cry extremely hard and with no one to hear me I was getting closer to the end of my roll as leader.

Shadow's POV August 25th 11:30pm Pakistan HQ

I sat down on the edge of my bed with my suit on and my small box on my lap with my tears dripping onto the lid.

I smiled as I lifted up the lid to find my past inside.

Maria's M1911.

My Inhibitor Rings.

Sonic's Car Keys I stole back in high school.

Pictures of Dark and Maria.

My Gold Chain.

And lastly a photo of Amy and one of my first son, Shadow jr.

Letting my sadness out quietly I pulled out the photos of Amy and my son. Staring at them made me smile and in happiness I placed them inside my coat pocket after kissing each one gently goodbye.

Next I took the one's of Maria and Dark and pulled up my lighter. I smiled burning Dark's up into flames and looking at Maria's I kissed it and burned it away forever. She would always be in my heart.

Gently I pulled my gold chain up out of the box and slowly placed it around my neck letting it fall under my dress shirt. Making sure it was placed correctly, I then took my Inhibitor rings out and put them on around my gloves. Feeling the juices of energy entering my aura I smiled and covered them up with my sleeves.

Last but not least I grabbed the M1911 out and checked the magazine to see it was full of 45. caliber bullets. Losing my smile I reloaded it and placed it under my suit jacket.

Looking back into the box I pulled up Sonic's car keys and let out a small chuckle of tears.

Smiling a little I got up and walked to my bathroom throwing them into the toilet and watching as they washed away with the rest of my past.

Looking back in the mirror I saw all I had become in the end. My name remains Shadow, but that soul I once was is gone forever and only one goal remains left in this hollow body. To be with my family. I did all I was meant to do and now was the time to end this battle for my life. Now I say goodbye.

Walking out of the bathroom I went to my kitchen table and placed the envelope down next to a small piece of paper. Wiping my tears as I saw the paper rest there I turned and went for the door taking my keys and heading for my ride back to Amy and my son.
