Third Person
"Woah, woah, woah! What are you talking about Shadow?" Tails asked the ebony hedgehog who kept his back facing them.
"G.U.N. took Maurice." he growled then turned to look at the group. He looked at each individual before laying his eyes on Eggman who eyes widened at what Shadow was about to do.
"Shadow, I don't think that's a good idea-"
"What choice do we have?" he interrupted him while waving his arms out. "G.U.N. won't stop until I'm six feet under so why not kill them now?" he clenched his fists tighter turning his knuckles white. Everyone looked at each other in slight worry.
"Hun, I know you are probably angry right now but violence doesn't solve everything." Rouge said as Shadow glared at her.
"Violence is everything to me." he turned away from them while lowering his head and sighed. "I haven't felt this since Maria died and unlike then, I can change what happens now." he looked up as anger danced across his eyes. "On my life I swore to protect this planet but when Maurice came along, I didn't know what to think. Now that I see that we are one and the same, I won't hesitate to save him no matter what." he growled then right before he took off for G.U.N. headquarters, he muttered to himself: "Even if it costs my life."
At G.U.N. Headquarters
The Commander of G.U.N., Abraham Towers, watched with slight anticipation through the glass that separated him from Maurice. He knew that once all the smoke was gone and the brown hedgehog woke up, the weapon would listen to him without hesitation. He watched as the last little bit of smoke went into the hedgehog before opening the container. He picked up a spiked collar that had all the spikes filled with the same black smoke, took off the one that suppressed his powers and replaced it with the other collar. He walked over to the control pad and pressed a button causing the one collar to beep and insert small pin-like needles into the hedgehog's neck. The needles opened hooking into Maurice's neck and continuing to pump the smoke into him. The hedgehog began to wake as the smoke stopped going into him but stayed in the spikes just in case. The commander turned to the other people in the room.
"Leave us." everyone left leaving Abraham and Maurice in the room. The human turned back to the hedgehog as he heard him groan and his body twitched. "Wake up Weapon." a brown ear twitched as he heard the command and his eyes opened but instead of brown eyes, his eyes were pure black. "Get up." the hedgehog obliged by slowly moving his arms bringing his legs under him so he was on all fours. He then got in a kneeling pose, bowed his head, closed his eyes and placed his hand hovering over his chest.
"What is it that you wish Master?" Maurice said in an emotionless tone as he stayed in his position but before the human could answer, a soldier rushed into the room.
"Sir, Project Shadow is here and he isn't happy!" the soldier cries out then seeing the hedgehog still in his kneeling pose but giving a nasty side glare, he stood up straighter. "Orders, sir?" the commander hummed while looking at Maurice who was still glaring at the soldier and smirked.
"Let him come and direct him to the training room." the soldier nodded and ran to find his subordinates and tell them the new order. Abraham looked back at Maurice and he cleared his throat making the hedgehog slightly jump and move his eyes away from the doorway.
"Master?" Maurice asked when he was looking at the ground again.
"I want you to turn off all the lights in the training room and wait for Project Shadow to arrive. When he does, you know what to do." Maurice smirked at his orders, stood up looking at the human and nodded.
"Yes, Master." he then raced off to carry out his orders no matter what.
