Chapter 24: Left side of Silver and the right side of Shadow

Silver watched as Beat said she would take on the Papillon. He nodded and flew off, using his powers to the left wing.

Luckily, there were no enemies the long hallway down to the area. It was dark and damp though, Silver quietly thanked his parents to give him the powers he had. Flying above the disgusting part of the hallway. He hated the fact he would have to come back out this way.

He sighed as light was seen at the end, he readied his Katanas, that were in his hands the entire ride there, and slid to a stop on the ground. It was grass. He awaited an attack, looking around the left wing.

It was a small vineyard, grapes growing on fences around the plane. He dropped his arms to his sides and looked around slightly amused. The center of the area had a fountain made of stone. A sculpture at the top of it, pouring out water. On the ground in front of it was a typing pad. As if there was some sort of computer around the vineyard.

Silver stared intently at the statue, it reminded him a bit of Blaze, the statue was of a cat goddess. She had a bunch of grapes in her hand and she was beautifully holding them and water was coming out of her other hand.

Silver sighed and reached behind him to grab the detonator. Just then an arrow flew past his head, barely catching his fur. He snapped his head around, searching for where it came from.

He scanned the area with his eyes, trying to find it. He heard another arrow coming his way. He held up his hand and stopped the arrow with a blue aura. He turned it around and flung it where ever it came from. He heard a yelp and a grunt from behind a few vines. He walked over and took a look, there was a green hedgehog sitting there with the arrow in her leg. She pulled it out and turned around to Silver.

She was green from head to toe, her spines hung from her head like wavy hair, she had three pink strands on the right side of her face slightly covering her pink eyes. She wore a brown outfit that showed off her stomach and her long slender legs. Her gloves were light brown that looked like would be used for archery.

She glared at Silver and then stood up, taking off into a run.

"Hey Wait" Silver called as he chased her, she turned around, her pack of arrows on her back and in her hand the bow. She lifted the bow and shot a few more arrows at Silver.

Silver dodged each one swiftly as the girl came to a stop. No where else to go.

Silver stopped a few feet away, "Don't run next time...I didn't mean to hit you" he tried to explain himself, "I thought you were a bad guy...you don't seem very bad to me" he smiled to the young woman.

She had to at least be 18, Silver couldn't tell.

He pulled out a handkerchief from his pack and held it out to her, "I'm going to wrap your leg alright" he told as he got closer to her, getting to the ground.

She hissed slightly as she held out her impaled leg. He didn't get her too bad with the leg, but it looked like he got her anyway.

Silver carefully tied the cloth around her leg tightly and stood up. She softened her glare and bowed.

Silver smiled, "Think nothing of it, now you should get out, we're going to blow this place up" he warned her with a shrug.

She stared at him and nodded with a smile, she turned around to a window and opened it. She sat on the sil before leaving to look at him.

"Thank you light haired one...I won't ever forget this" she smiled to Silver and spoke. Her voice was mature and light hearted. She climbed out the window as Silver reached for her, not grabbing her in time and watching her fall to the jungle below the mansion.

He smiled, he felt like he had just met an angel. He wanted to see her again.

He sighed, he remember what they came here for. He reached into his pack and pulled out the little explosion device. He sat in on the floor in front of the window and activated it. He flew up a few inches using his blue aura and flew off back to the center.

Shadow had taken off to the right. Using his shoes to fly threw the Hallway. The hallway was clean and seemed almost as if no one had been here in years. The floor was red carpet and the walls had old paintings.

Shadow came to the end of the hallway to a room. He stopped flying and opened the door, it unlocked and allowed to swing inside. He looked in, it was a white room with wood floors. Three windows lined up on the wall letting in sunlight. He walked in, nothing inside the room. He walked to the other end, to the center window and took out his detonator, planting there on the floor and setting it.

He turned around to leave when something shut the door. There stood the Grey cat with black hair. Regina was not wearing her usual dress. She had a black coat that opened in the front and black pants with white shoes. A white top under the coat could be seen.

"Hello Shadow" she began as she smirked at him.

He growled as he grabbed his gun from its holster. He held it out to her.

She smiled and opened her arms to him, "Go on, kill me. I've done so much to so many people right?" she asked as Shadow realized that she hadn't done anything but try to destroy the world.

He dropped the gun down to his side with his arm and sighed, "You haven't, so you either come in with us so we can lock you up or you die here with your toys..." he told her as he walked towards her. She moved away from the door, allowing him threw.

He stopped where she stood, staring the opposite direction he was.

"You know...you and I are very similar" Regina began, "We've lost someone we love dearly at our beginning and we were tricked over and over, trying to remember what happened to us" she moved her red eyes to look at Shadow. "you should help me destroy Mobius..."

Shadow shut his eyes and smirked, "I refuse. That friend that I lost, made me promise to keep the people of Mobius happy...so I plan to do so" he told her as he began to walk away. She sighed as she turned and watched him walk away.

Shadow continued down the path till he reached the center. Meeting Silver on the other side.

The center area was a wreck, most likely done by Beat and Croissant's fighting.

"Shadow, you won't believe what happened to me" Silver floated over to Him.

Remains of robot bear everywhere.

"what happened to you?" Shadow put his gun back into his holster as Rouge and Lucky came down, Rouge holding on to the dog as they came down.

Silver smiled, more so than normal, "I met an angel-" he began as Lucky landed on his feet and Rouge next to him.

Lucky quickly pulled out his detonator and set it down against the wall, activating it.

"You can talk about what happened to you later" Lucky grumbled as He looked past the door further down from where they were.

Shadow eyed the door as Beat walked threw, her body had gashes and cuts all over her. Her clothes were torn in the right spot for the husky to stare. Shadow looked to Lucky, who had worry on his face as he ran over to Beat.

Beat landed in the dog's arms, "Beat...Beat! What happened?" Lucky asked, his voice rising a bit, trying to get her to snap back into reality.

Beat blinked once and then lay limp in his arms. She was breathing lightly, and her body was in too much pain to do anything else.

Rouge got on the other side and helped pick Beat up.

Shadow and Silver allowed Rouge Lucky and Beat to get out first. They made it back to the beach quickly as they sat down Beat on the small row boat.

Rouge went back to Shadow, who was staring at the mansion.

She reached into her pocket, "Would you like to do the honors?" she asked as she held out a small detonation button to Shadow. Shadow nodded, taking the mechanical object from her and pressing the small red button.

A large Flash, A bright light. A large orange and grey mushroom cloud was all that could be seen from where they stood. A light wind flew by their bodies as the explosion lasted for a few seconds.

Shadow sighed, The nightmare was finally over.
