Rachael: Hello everyone, I'm going to start up something new for 2008. This is going to be my short stories journal, a repository of information about various mini events that didn't make it into my journal entries. This will hopefully shine some new light upon myself and other characters that I have made reference to. Here you will find a new perspective on other major events as well, and even some "what if" moments too. basically, my goal is to retell events from my point of view and usher in a brand new vision of fan-fiction, in a condensed package for your enjoyment! biggrin

And now, we may begin...
Story 1: The mellow yellow furry.
I've already gone over how I met my yellow furred friend before in my main journal, but I didn't really go into detail about how much time I spent with him. Ah, I had so much fun with Michael when I was young, always exploring Mobotropolis from top to bottom, playing around with the locals, and hanging out at private spots where we could just get away from it all. Honestly, those were the best days of my life back then. Michael seemed to enjoy himself, he told me that he always wanted someone to hang out with, especially a young female friend who wasn't going to just turn him down for being so yellow. He once said to me that some of his friends said that he was kind of a freak, in the sense that they saw his fur glow. They were in shock and started to poke fun at his strange condition. Nobody else knew about this, except for me and his now ex-friends. Michael didn't let this get to him however, he had some idea that maybe he was special. He said that he felt that he was meant to be someone truly amazing, a hero, or maybe a savior blessed by some otherworldy force. I chuckled at the thought at first, but then I kinda agreed with him. Maybe he was special, maybe he would be destined to become the stuff of legends. A few days after he told me this, Mobius was attacked by Dr. Robotnik. It was odd how he told me this, it was as if he knew something was going to happen. I never bothered to ask him why he had those thoughts, I don't think I ever will ask him. I did find out one thing, his glowing fur was due to exposure to Chaos radiation at a young age, those details are for another story however. ---End of file---
What If story 1: The God of Destruction attacks Earth!
::Note:: This is a "what if" tale based on the events of Sonic Adventure and the last story sequence. It is merely a fictional take on what it would be like if the three of us were there to witness the stand-off between Sonic and Perfect Chaos. Our roles are 3 of the 7 vessels of positive energy for the Chaos Emeralds and surviving witnesses among the Station Square ruins. Earth is the setting that is supposedly used in Sonic X, so as to add more detail to the story. ::End of note::
It was another peaceful day in Station Square, everything was just the way it always has been, bland. One of my friends, Amy, had put it into a few choice words as she lamented "Same Place, Different Day". I actually agree with her on that, of course that was only when we weren't caught up in another mess involving that madman who nearly decimated the city a few days ago. I remember seeing a rather large missile stream across the sky and two figures chasing after it as well. One was hellbent on detonating that missile, the other was out to disarm it. If I was not mistaken, it was that wily little fox named Tails who was out to save us all...thank goodness he got their in time and beat the odds. If that doesn't beat all, a HUGE airship flew overhead of the city, nearly grazing the tops of the skyscrapers and also casting a large shadow over the city streets below. The ship had a few distinct features that I wasn't too familiar with, only a handful of people knew what these features were, and they were all busy on some huge adventure. I was oblivious to everything going on around me, Kai and Michael were the same way too. We just ignored everything and went about our business...of course, that was all about to change in a flash. One this very day, all hell suddenly broke loose! A sudden surge of tremors plagued the city streets, followed by huge blast of water coming through the manholes, and then the streets split into chunks as the water pressure became too great. Something was wrong, very wrong! The three of us fled the streets and made are toward higher ground, high enough ground that is. We barely beat the rush of the flowing waters, unlike so many people who panicked and couldn't make it out alive in time. The three of us were all looking at each other in shock, we didn't know what the hell was going on at the moment and we nearly freaked out because of the sudden outburst of mother nature. Minutes later, we saw something form from the massive amount of water. A large head in the shape of a serpent bursted through a decimated building, it opened its mouth wide and let out a furious roar. None of us knew what to make of this beast, nor did we know what to do with it. We eventually got our answer, the beast is known as Perfect Chaos: the god of destruction. We knew nothing of such an ancient being, or any of that stuff at all. It took a little while until we finally got all the information we needed, and then some. Just then, that same huge ship approached the beast and tried to open fire on it, only to be blasted out of the sky by an energy blast from the creature's mouth. Nobody was sure how this beast was going to be quelled at first, but then it was another answer came in the form of an old saying and 7 unpowered gems. The three of us picked up a gem, along with four others, surrounding Sonic as we did this as well. We were instructed to release our positive energies into the unpowered gems, giving this power to Sonic who the chosen vessel of the positive Chaos energies. When all of the energy was channeled into Sonic, he was engulfed and was transformed into the embodiment of positive Chaos energy: Super Sonic! An epic battle ensued, both bodies clashing with equally powerful blows. In the end, Sonic landed the deciding blow that ended the madness. When all was said and done, Chaos returned to its rightful place and Sonic left without saying a word. Nobody was sure how the city was going to recover from this mess, but one way or another, it was going to recover. ---End of File---
Story 2: Hedge-Fox from head to toe.
Genetics, now that's one thing I could never clearly understand. Why are we born with certain eye and fur colors? What determines are species? How do we know what gender we are? (Uh, I found that out the hard way...O///o) Puzzling, right? It can be if you don't bother to research such a challenging topic. It was something I went and did when I finally got the time to find answers to some questions that plagued my mind for many years. One question that bugged me was about my genetic structure. Why I was born like this? I knew from a young age that my parents were two separate species, but they loved each other, even though they were different from each other. I have mentioned before that my father was a sky blue hedgehog and my mother was a pink fox, but I had a hard time putting two and two together. After looking over some old textbooks on genetic I discovered that a few cases of cross-bred children have been recorded. Apparently, this applies to me. I was cross-bred with two types of genetic material. The records stated that most of the cross-bred children were to be used in tasks related to Royal Guard duties. The selection of these children were male, the rest were female. I didn't understand the concept of being a cross-breed Mobian at first, but then it sank in. I was someone special, I was born to make a difference. I am still trying to discover what my mission is, but I know that I will find out soon enough. ---End of File---
What If story 2:The Ultimate Life-form: Shadow The Hedgehog.
::Note:: This is another "what if" tale based on the plot of Sonic Adventure 2. This short story takes place during the early portion of the game's storyline, following the Hero arc. My trio is being stalked by Shadow, which we are unaware of. Our roles are just mere bystanders amidst the action, trying our best to understand why Sonic was framed and what the hell is going on around us. ::End of Note::
After the Chaos incident that occurred many months ago, we thought that nothing else could go wrong. It certainly seemed that way for while, everyone who survived was trying to get their lives back together and start anew. Sonic was enjoying the attention he was getting after he saved Station Square, Tails was equally happy with his own work when he vanquished Robotnik when those two clashed. As for Amy, after getting a taste of real action when she was captured, she was really getting around and doing her own thing. No word from Knuckles about his whereabouts, it is assumed that he's busy with his own tasks. As for myself, I was just content with being around my friends and enjoying this time of peace. Just when I thought everything was fine and dandy, word got out that Sonic has been framed! The three of us were in shock when we heard the news, we couldn't believe our beloved blue hero was capable of such a fiendish act! I just screamed out loud, I was that pissed. Michael was just speechless, he knew that Sonic was a true hero and would never commit a crime. It just wasn't like him. Kai didn't say a thing, he just didn't know what to make of the situation. Something was terribly wrong here, there had to be something or someone else behind this devious act. Our own suspicions pointed to that fat b*****d, Dr. Robotnik, but I don't think he's into theft. He might have hired someone to pull a heist for him, seeing that the reports were focused on a stolen emerald. What we didn't know at the time is that someone was watching us, or should I say stalking. It was going to be a difficult task to gather up all the info we needed to find out what was going on, but took it upon ourselves to discover who or what framed Sonic. ---End of File---
Story 3: The power of Chaos.
"The severs are the seven Chaos. Chaos is Power. Power is enriched by the heart. The controller is the one that unifies the Chaos." -Tikal-
Such a cryptic passage, and yet, it says it clearly about what a Chaos Emerald is capable of. Legend dictates that the gems harness infinite power, viable to those who know how to utilize it correctly. It is said that 7 emeralds appear to exist on Mobius, hundreds more are also scattered about the known galaxy too, but that is only speculated by Mobian scientists. The Chaos Emeralds are sought after anyone who is allured by their mysterious power and limitless energies, many try to hunt them down, but they cannot be tracked down so easily. Some hunters do get lucky and stumble upon the powerful and beautiful gem, others are drawn to it by forces beyond their own control. I was one of those few who were drawn to the Emerald. When I was still doing my part during the rebellion of the doctor, I felt something strange, something that lured me away from everything. I felt a strange pulse inside of me, like the beating of my heart, but much fainter. I had no clue that I was being drawn in by a Chaos Emerald, until I tripped on it. I didn't realize that a gem like this was just sitting out here in the middle of nowhere, and I was here with my friends for quite some time too. Putting those thoughts aside, I reached out to pick up the gem, but I got quite a shock when the gem started to glow and suddenly float. My eyes grew wide as I gazed upon the floating, which had then reached eyesight level. The gem I found had an amazing purple hue, a beautiful color that was nearly the same color as my own fur. I was in a short trance after a few minutes of staring at the floating gem, then I was jarred out of that state when the gem dropped into the palm of my hand. I pocketed the gem shortly after it fell and ran back to the little shelter that me and my buddies made. I myself that I would wait to let my friends know about my discovery, for even I had no idea what I was holding at the time. ---End of File---
What If story 2-file 2: Project Shadow.
::Note:: this is a continuation of file of the what if story 2. You should know what is going on from reading the file 1. ::End of Note::
It was settled, Michael, Kai and I were on the case! We all wanted to know who or what is behind this spout of treachery, and how Sonic was framed. We had to start from the first area, which would be the natural history museum where the Chaos Emerald was stolen. We managed to gain some access to the scene, thanks to a few connections in the ranks of the SSPD. Our findings discovered no footprints, traces of fur, or residual energy streams left by Sonic. We decided to see what the camera had to tell us. Checking over the security tapes lead us to find that someone else was behind this, someone who a hedgehog! We couldn't see too many details, seeing that he or she was hiding in the cover of darkness, but we did the perps shoes. The design was nothing like we ever seen before. Black, Red and White were the colors we could see, and those were NOT Sonic's shoes. Something seemed out of place about this shadowy figure, something we couldn't lay our fingers on. After exiting the museum, we payed the SSPD a visit to see if they obtained any eyewitness accounts. An officer gave us copies of various accounts, which we reviewed a countless number of times. Each account held different amounts of details, but they all carried one specific detail: flames spouting from the subjects heels as if he were gliding on fire. This was the detail we needed in order to track down the perp who framed Sonic. We didn't have enough evidence at this time to clear Sonic, but we knew where to start. The only thing that bugged me is that we have to act fast! Later that same day we heard another report: Prison Island was raided! It seems that some well armed man charged right into the base, guns at the ready and blazing too. It turns out that our old nemesis was back in action: Dr. Robotnik! It was yet another shocking turn of events, first Sonic is framed and now the doctor raises hell on a dangerous island. What else could go wrong? That's one thing I didn't want to know, but I would get my answer soon. Hours after the Prison Island incident, a tense standoff between Sonic and the militant organization G.U.N finally ended with Sonic's capture! The three of us were in severe shock, the great hero was arrested by G.U.N, and nothing could be done to save him now. This day officially sucks! ---End of File---
Story 4: Fight for Freedom!
There was no way in hell I was going to just let some maniacal, pus-bucket madman maintain an iron grip over my home! I knew that I had to fight, there was no other option besides surrender and be roboticized like so many unlucky Mobians. My parents would have been proud to see me standing tall in the face of impossible odds, fighting to protect the homeworld from outside forces. I never thought that I would have to deal with such a task when I was growing up, but now I was thrown into the fray and I knew that I couldn't back down! Michael was the same way, especially when he told me about how he was destined to do something for the good of Mobius. Kai was always ready for action, his race was one of the many recorded warrior races on Mobius, they were born to take down any threat that came their way. In the very early days of our first missions, we had to study everything that surrounded us, along with the enemies capabilities. Months of research and counter-striking techniques later, we were ready to bring the fight to the doctor's footsteps. In one of our many missions, we discovered a team of refugees who have already begun their fight, it was the fabled Freedom Fighters of Knothole! Initially, we did not approach them, for we knew that stealth was their key to victory, as was ours. It would take a chance encounter in one of the few safe zones that we would make actual contact for the first time. We had arranged a meeting shortly after making contact, ensuring that we had the same intentions as they did. When that time came, we were escorted through the dense forest to the exact location of the hidden village, so that we didn't let the enemy spot us. A short introduction period was initiated, so that we got to know everyone in the village, and so that everyone got to know us. When all was said and done, we had gained the trust of the Freedom Fighters. Our initiation into the Freedom Fighters was just in time, the time of the Doomsday Project was dawning upon us! ---End of File---
Story 2-File 3: Fugitives on the run!
::Note:: This is file 3 of the SA2 "what if" story. Our current roles have us as undercover detectives for the SSPD (Station Square Police Department) and we are still trying to figure out who the mysterious culprit is that framed Sonic. In file 3, we'll dive into the part where Sonic manages to break out of his cell, the culprit's identity is revealed, and why all of this is happening. :End of Note::
So my assumption was right, this day does suck. First we can't get all the clues together to clear Sonic's good name, then Robotnik has to bust down the gates at Prison Island, and now I have this hunch that something else is going to happen! The next day was just beginning when we heard another report: Sonic has broken out of his cell! The reports coming in said that he was assisted by one of his close friends, Tails was seen on the grounds of the Weapons Bed, battling with the doctor, although Sonic is nowhere to be found on site. What we saw next was rather shocking: we caught a glimpse of our culprit next to the doctor. The details we gathered up were starting to match up perfectly. We had to get down to that island, pronto! We arranged the use of a small boat to get us out to the island in a jiffy, but we didn't know if it would be any use to us at a later time. My gut was telling me that something was seriously wrong, like that of a life threatening situation was about to occur. My boys shared the same feeling, but they didn't let that get to him. We made our way down densely packed jungle, hacking away at the huge leaves and climbing over the massive, in-grown trees. It took a while before we started to hear voices other than ours, that's when we knew we caught up with the two subjects. Sonic appeared to be in a bitter clash with another hedgehog, that's where we finally got an up close view of the b*****d who framed Sonic. He was stupid enough to utter his name in front of us: that name is Shadow. What a quirky name! Makes you think where he got a name like that, am I right? Names aside, a small fight broke out after the short introductions ended. The two hedgehogs exchanged slightly uneven blows, all of them looked rather painful. All of the sudden, the two hedgehogs stopped their a** kicking contest after Shadow received a message saying that he needs to haul a**! Sonic overheard this and did likewise. It's quite clear about what did, we hightailed it back to the boat. Minutes later, we saw the whole island we were just on explode in a massive fireball that filled the area with heat and blinding light. We made it with our tails intact, but we weren't sure about Sonic's whereabouts. Once again, I felt something big was going down, and me and the boys were going to find out! ---End of File---
Story 5: The tomboy Hedge-Fox.
I admit it, I was a tomboy when I was young. I couldn't help it, I just felt like I wanted to be like one of the boys. I just loved to get down a dirty, playing all the games that my male friends enjoyed. I even had the look down too, darkened fur, gruff looking clothes, and my fur was spiked up just a bit to show off my rebellious style. I looked pretty wild too! My parents questioned me about my choice at first, but I told them it's just an act, I don't plan to stay like this all my life. They let me partake in my little charade, in fact they thought it was kind of interesting that I was willing to mingle with the guys like this. I certainly enjoyed myself for a while, that is until I started to hang around Michael. By that time, puberty was kicking in, and I couldn't keep wearing my outfit. I did adopt the style I wore when I was a tomboy however. The style I chose had some of the same style clothes, except that the color was much brighter, but had no frills. I kept my bangs out however, and let my hair grow longer too. Over the years, I would find myself tailoring my outfit to fit me in more ways than one. I'll save that for another file however. razz ---End of File---
What If Story 2: File 4: Facing the barrel of the loaded gun!
::Note:: This is File 4 of the SA2 story. Our roles are the same as last time. In this file, the ARK is introduced, I let off some steam, the doc blows a chunk of the moon up with the Eclipse Cannon, and were all shot into space! We are nearing the home stretch on this tale, so enjoy this entry! biggrin ::End of Note::
What a relief! We managed to escape the island shortly before the huge explosion engulfed it. Now we had a name for our culprit: Shadow. Little did I know, Michael was carrying a recording device and captured the dialog between Sonic and Shadow. We had to bring our finding to the SSPD, so we could clear Sonic's name...or at least try to. When we arrived, we got a call that the president ordered Sonic's name be cleared, and the blame be placed on Dr. Robotnik! My jaw dropped when I heard this, all that work for nothing! I was pretty pissed off, so pissed off in fact that I gave the commissioner a piece of my mind. Me and team stormed out of the precinct disappointed and angry. The only thing left for us to do is go and exact some judgment on the doctor! A problem popped in that plan, where the hell is the doctor hiding anyway? We got a lucky break when we found files on an infiltration mission were posted, along with the location of Robotnik's hidden base in the middle of the desert. It seems that he was looking to keep out any intruders by building a base out in the middle of a quicksand filled desert, how ingenious! Now the only thing stopping us was how we were going to get their. Kai suggested that we go find Tails and see if he could take us to the desert base, seeing that we know how to get their quickly. When we managed to find the wily fox, we proposed our plan to him. He was a little hesitant in his choice at first, but he decided that he would take us. We showed him the outlying area that was mapped by a special agent some time ago. With so many lucky breaks we have received, what could possibly go wrong? How about seeing a beam of energy stream across the night sky and blowing a chunk out of the moon? How does that sound? Well, that's exactly what happened! The fat son of a b***h appeared on every screen saying that the Earth will suffer the same exact fate if his demands are not met, shocking! That fueled the determination for us to bring the hurt to Robotnik, but we would leave that to Sonic and his friends, we just wanted to see that he gets what is coming to him. It took us some time to reach the very entrance to Robotnik's hidden base, Sonic and the rest of his friends had already found their way in, after taking on some serious countermeasures beforehand. We expected a conflict with the doc, but instead we were shot into space! This day just went from bad to just plain F*****D up! ---End of File---
Story 6: Innovation through trial.
Like I said before about my current ensemble, I got the idea from my tomboy days. Thinking about how good I looked with my belly showing and the color scheme of my clothes, I knew I had to keep this very style, it was just too hard to give up! XD I did a little tailoring here and there, adding goldenrod trim to my pant legs, flaring out the bottoms, exchanging my shoes for a good pair of knee high boots (although you can't tell half the time anyway). My shirt was a nice sleeveless top, a nice open over-shirt as well to cover my arms just a bit. My gloves got just a small amount of female flair, as seen in the cuffs. As for my hair, I let it grow a little longer and puffed it out a little more. The spiky bangs were left alone, I just liked that little spot too much. :3 All of this didn't just come to me all at once. It took me a long time to find the right look and feel of everything I had on, I wanted to maintain my feminine side intact and still look rebellious too. I still felt that being too girly just wasn't my thing, something about that small fact bugged me. I didn't give it anymore thought afterward though, seeing that I was fine with how I looked once I got the style I wanted just right. I bet you that someone out there is having that same crisis at this moment, I say to those people: Don't give up. :3 It'll come to you. ---End of File---
What If story 2: file 5: All aboard the ARK!
::Note:: This is file 5 of the SA2 what if story. You should know what is going on by now, so everything is probably familiar to you. If you have not read files 1-4, read them before this part. This file focuses on the boarding of the ARK, confrontations with Robotnik, and a transition into the final story. ::End of Note::
Okay, now I'm really pissed. First I find out that Sonic was framed by a devious Hedgehog with no real background, Robotnik threatens to take over or destroy the world, my team finds out that we did all of our investigative work for nothing, and now we've been launched into space! After my sudden outburst of swears, I had realized that we reached the docking bay of the colony Robotnik mentioned. I wasn't too happy with setting foot inside the rather dark and dreary facility, but I didn't have much of a choice. Kai and Michael told me to look at this way: "At least we didn't get double crossed and blown up while we were inside the rocket." How enlightening, that still didn't cover up the fact that we're stuck in space! After settling myself, me and the boys decided upon a plan of attack. First, we needed to get our hands on some schematics of this colony, then we needed to see where it was safe for us to traverse, and then we needed to beat the snot out of the doctor! I sent Michael to retrieve the schematics, Kai was to stay by my side for protection reasons. After a half hour of waiting, Michael returned with some schematics and a few battle scars. I assumed that he ran into some resistance, which was kinda expected for a place like this. We mapped out a decent and safe route that would keep us inside the colony, but would take us through an area called "Crazy Gadget". Something about the name just screamed intense sequences of awkward traveling. That little bit aside, our mission had begun and we were ready to bring the hurt to Robotnik! As we made our way through the colony, we could hear Robotnik shout various warnings directed to Sonic, it was something about holding Amy hostage. Man, that girl is a ditz (no offense ladies, even I have my moments like Amy does)! None of us were really concerned about her predicament, so we just ignored the messages and continued onto the next zone. My first perception of the "Crazy Gadget" zone was a hellish nightmare of traps and other little nasty numbers, not a gravity defying sector with switches, walls and rails that would make a skater drool. Michael was all too ready for the wild little adventure we were going to have here! Kai hesitated at first but he managed to get over this and find himself enjoying the out of this world area. I can say that enjoyed myself for the first time since this whole thing started. After our wild ride, we found ourselves at the doorway that leads to a promenade, where we expected the doctor would be at, waiting for anyone who is willing to test his mettle. The door was sealed though, it seems that we were a little too late to lay some serious a**-whooping action on Robotnik. At that moment, something caught my eye, a pod was fired, followed by an explosion! It seems that someone was too late, or unlucky. What we didn't know is that it was Sonic who was fired off into space and his pod was blown to pieces by a detonation device. A commotion soon broke out, we heard Amy scream in horror, shouting out the name of her beloved. Tails was infuriated and ready to take action, and Robotnik cackled like maniac he is. After a short fight, the doors finally opened, and we were able to rush in, only to find out that it was all over. Disappointed once again, we just sat in the promenade, waiting to see what else was going to happen. Tails and Amy were grieving at that time over the loss of the blue boy, and I was just pissed off as usual. Michael and Kai were staring out the window, gazing upon the blue marble floating in space, seeing that they had nothing else to do. All seemed lost at that moment, that is until a message was relayed to Tails, the message was from Sonic! The blue blur was alive and kicking, thanks to his quick thinking and a boost from the discovered technique of Chaos Control, and the emerald he had stashed away. Of course that moment of sudden joy was cut short when a message appeared that the colony was going to be smashed into the planet! I must be cursed, a moment of peace is shattered by the thoughts of a blazing death! Damn my luck. ---End of File---
Story 7: Never forget your family ties.
Looking back on my days when I was young, I knew that my parents were an important part of the community, along with the kingdom. I can never forget how they were called off to go and face off against anyone who opposed the king and his divine will, or how they maintained the peace when times got rough. Yes, you cannot forget that you are connected to ties of such nobility and strength! You don't realize it at a young age (unless you're trained, much like a certain someone I know), but when you grow older and witness the turmoil yourself, you understand that your family ties mean a lot to you. You will always carry the legacy of your parents with you, and pass it onto the next generation, letting them know that you belong to a noble bloodline that will only grow stronger with time! Even though my parents were presumed dead, I know that they died with honor. They launched themselves into battle, facing off against an enemy with unmatchable power. They will live on in my memories, and in the many tales I tell other generations to come. Everyone has some connections to honorable family, Sonic and Tails are a couple of guys whose parents fought against menacing enemies, it's all recorded in various documents too. It is important to know what your family was like, and you must cherish all of these memories for as long as you live. You're being on to keep the past alive! ---End of File---
What If Story 2: File 6: A savior in disguise!
::Note:: This is the final file of the SA2 storyline. If you're not up to date by now, read the other files first so you can catch up. This file involves the final story where the ARK is about crash into Earth, and the only ones who can save us now are Sonic and the dark hedgehog Shadow. Everyone is being counted on to help save Earth from a horrifying death! Find out if the Earth will be saved! ::End of Note::
Damn my rotten luck, a good moment is ruined by impending doom! Can't a Hedge-Fox get a break around here? Once again I found myself firing off another one of my swearing fits, which I had to get out of my system. Once that was out of the way, me and the boys gathered our wits and decided to check with the schematics one more time. We needed a way off this doomed station, just in case parts of it start to give way come the time of reentry into the atmosphere. Kai spotted an old shuttle bay on the map, which should contain a shuttle for us to pilot to safety. I wasn't too concerned about everyone else right now, for I knew that they could take on a daunting task such as this. I forgot all about giving Robotnik a sock in his jaw, but I still had my fist clutched in rage over his devious actions, I'll get him back some day. We reached the shuttle bay and discovered an old craft just waiting for us to use. As we boarded the tiny shuttle, we could hear strange sounds, like the roaring of some giant beast. We ignored it and exited the colony, hovering outside the doomed structure. The time slowly ticked by as the colony grew closer to the Earth, it almost seemed as if all hope was lost. Just then, we saw two golden streaks cruise around the cannon. This was followed by a huge flash of light brightened up the dark sky. Something had fused with the very face of the cannon! It seems that the fight was being brought out into an open field. We tried to make out who the two golden streaks were, then we found out that one was Sonic, and the other was...SHADOW! Now how about that for a strange turn of events, ol' blue and the dark one have put their differences aside to vanquish the beast about to bring death to Earth. With time running out, a final strike was called and both Hedgehogs fired their Chaos energy into the beast and the colony, and just like that it vanished! A few seconds ticked by and then the colony reappeared back into it's safe orbit, as if it never moved at all. The two ended the nightmare, saving the world from an almost uncertain doom. We piloted our shuttle back to the colony to reunite with everyone, this is where we discovered that Shadow disappeared in the midst of the fight. All that was left of him was one of the rings he wore around his wrist, it seems that Shadow made the ultimate sacrifice for the good of humanity. All I can say is that I forgive Shadow now, his last selfless act has shown me that he was truly a misunderstood hedgehog. Rest In Peace Shadow. ---End of Story: File Closed---
