Third Person

Shadow raced his way through the city not even bothering to slow down or move out of the way from pedestrians that were on their way home from a tiring day. It was sunset as Shadow barreled into G.U.N. Headquarters. The front desk lady yelled out in surprise as Shadow lifted her up by her collar and glared blood red daggers into her eyes.

"Where is the Commander?" his voice was full of venom as he spoke of the commander. He knew that because Abraham Towers had Maurice, he most likely wouldn't be hiding in his office. So, the ebony hedgehog had retorted to scare the answer out of the secretary. Which, surprisingly enough, only caused her to freeze due to fear. After a bit of silence, Shadow growled and shook the human again but rougher. "Where is he!?"

"T-Training room." she whispered and Shadow glared at her before roughly throwing her back into her chair. He summoned a Chaos Spear and pointed it at her.

"You better not be lying." he moved the spear so that it was lightly touching her neck. "Or else." she gulped and briskly nodded causing Shadow to make the spear disappear and give one last glare at the human before taking off for the aforementioned room. When he left, the lady sighed in relief once she saw all traces of black homicidal hedgehogs -even though Shadow was the only one- and promptly fell out of her seat onto the ground.

"He is not going to be happy about Maurice..." she muttered to herself and decided to stay hidden underneath the crevice of her desk. "Not happy at all..."

Back with Shadow, he was zipping through the halls to find the one room he despised the most. The training room. After seeing what torture Maurice had to go though, he didn't want to think what the Commander was making him go through. In one memory Maurice was forced to practice summoning his sword. Not that bad right? Well... there was more than one wrong thing with that picture. Abraham himself was in the room holding a riding whip. Maurice, whenever he didn't summon his sword, got struck on his back making a sickening crack and Shadow actually flinched at the sound. The brown hedgehog hissed at the pain and continued to obey his Master's command and got beaten on the back for not doing as he was told. The other training memories were just as bad - maybe worse. There was many others with him in some strange lab strapped down onto a metal table passed out from screaming in pain with different scientists all around him doing only Chaos knows what and the Commander standing idle-by. It was quote on quote 'testing his pain threshold' or whatever type of crap that humans could come up with. Another was him being forced to stay in a pitch black room all rolled up into a tight ball crapped inside a little cage similar to the dream Shadow had before. He would go days upon days of staying like that all alone and stuck with only his thoughts to accompany him.

At last, Shadow had reached the training room but had an uneasy feeling as he stood in the doorway. The whole room was in inky black darkness... he frowned and was about to stomp his way back to the front desk lady -maybe to commit a murder if she hadn't ran off yet from his oh-so-famous temper- when he caught sight of a green flash. One that looked like it was in the shape of a hand... Shadow hesitantly stepped into the room, keeping his guard up in case the human was doing a nasty trick and lit his hands up in a bright red colour. He walked into the middle of the room, a chill going down his spine, swiveling his ears, eyes and hands in every which way to see what was going on. All of a sudden, the light from the hallway disappeared and Shadow turned around quickly to see some sort of door blocking his only way out. He took a step back as the green light flashed again and he dropped into a fighting stance.

"Commander..." Shadow growled to himself as he could make out the human's shape in all the darkness with a green light right behind him.

"Hello Project: Shadow." the Commander of G.U.N. said with an evil smile but Shadow couldn't see it. "I believe you aren't just here because you feel like it."

"Where's Maurice?" he asked, not wanting to know why the human himself was standing in a blocked-off room with a murderous hedgehog. And one that won't hesitate to kill if necessary.

"My, my, why all this hostility? I didn't do anything to you."

"Where. Is. Maurice?" Shadow borderline snarled as his quills flared up in anger. "WHERE IS HE?"

"If you truly want to know where my little Weapon is, you can see him for yourself." the Commander's fingers snapped causing the green glow to disappear and next thing Shadow knew, he was pinned up against the wall. His red light went out when he was shoved but his eyes shrunk as the green light was illuminated in front of him. One glowing hand held his neck while the other held a green chaos sword poised to strike it's target. The light was close enough that Shadow could make out two pure black eyes instead of brown ones and an evil smirk on his face.

"Hello, Life-form."
