Chapter 10:My Final Mission to save Earth for Maria's wishes... By Ninetalesuk.
AUTHOR'S NOTE:Well, here it is. The final chapter of the story of Shadow the Hedgehog. I gotta
say, I've never had this many reviews EVER! Thank you all for liking my story. Nows the time to
finish this story. Shadow the Hedgehog and other characters were on 'Sonic Adventure 2' on the
SEGA Dreamcast and 'Sonic Adventure 2:Battle' on the Nintendo GameCube. This game is owned by
SEGA and the Sonic Team. This is the last time I say this so, goodbye.
I glared at the prototype of the Ultimate Life, which was suppose to be me. This prototype was
known as the Biolizard.
I have to make sure this 'thing' doesn't attack Sonic and Knuckles while they are trying to stop
the ARK from crashing into Earth!
The Biolizard made his first move by snapping at me. I quickly leapt out of the way and started
to run around him, keeping away from his mouth.
I tried to attack the beast but, I bounced off his body. N o wonder he was the prototype of the
Ultimate Life, his skin can absorb the attack. So, what am I going to do?
Rouge came to my aid by calling me on the radio. "Shadow! Can you hear me! According to the
documents, the prototype has a Life-Support System. Hit that and the prototype will be in pain!"
"Copy that!" I said, smiling. I turned to the Biolizard's head and I saw a pipe coming from his
mouth and leading up to the support system. I found a way! And also, I was in luck as the beast
stopped to have a breath, I quickly took my chance by jumping onto the pipe and grind it up till
I was near enough to a red dome. I quickly rammed it and landed beside the Biolizard.
The beast roared in pain as I hitted his support system. Hmph, some Ultimate Life form!
I gave him a few more hits, making this prototype really, REALLY mad! He started to create some
energy eggs to shoot towards me. I was able to dodge everyone of those eggs and leaped up, high
enough to nail the support system.
I landed back down as the Biolizard fell to the ground, defeated.
"GET OUT you UGLY prototype!" I said, holding my head up high. Looks like nothing can stop us
now! Boy, was I ever so wrong...
I turned around to see Sonic and Knuckles, running up the steps of a mock-up shrine. I
started to head their way to join them as they put their plan into action.
Knuckles setted down a large green emerald into the centre of the core. Was THIS the Master
Emerald, the gem to control the powers of the 7 Chaos Emeralds!
"The servers are... the seven chaos..." I heard Knuckles murmering. If I recall correctly, this
is an old incantation needed to activate the Master Emerald's power. "Chaos is power... power is
enriched by the heart... the controller is the one that unifies the chaos... only you can do
this!" Knuckles started to shout as the Master Emerald shone so brightly. "STOP THE CHAOS
EMERALDS!" And it worked...
The Master Emerald and the Chaos Emeralds cause a small reaction with each other, causing it
to calm down. And then, the Biolizard was awaken and got up. He then, roared in pain before he,
or it, dissappeared in a flash of light.
"Is it gone!" Knuckles asked when I joined them.
"Is that what... Chaos Control is?" I asked. Even though I use the power of Chaos Control,
I never witnessed it before...
I thought it was all over but, the rumbling throughout the space colony continued... Didn't our
echidna friend stopped the energy of the Chaos Emeralds?
"Since we've stopped the Chaos Emeralds, why is the space colony still on a crash course for
Earth!" Knuckles said, clearly confused and worried. Good question... And our answer came when
Doctor Eggman called us from the radio.
"The prototype is still alive! He is controlling the space colony as it is falling to Earth! He
as become one with the space colony and is determined to keep it on its collision course!" Eggman
said, worried.
Maria... I'm sorry. I failed you... Theres nothing we can do now... Stupid thing to say because
Sonic and Knuckles looked at each other.
"Sonic...!" Knuckles suddenly said. I looked into Sonic's eyes to see a glint. What is he up to?
My answer came as Sonic turned towards to the Chaos Emeralds and I quickly saw what he had in
mind. With the power of the Chaos Emeralds, we will have the ablility to breath in space so, we
could stop the Biolizard!
Looks like theres no other choice! It is our remaining hope for Earth and everyone...
I stood beside with Sonic at the middle of the shrine as Knuckles watched, holding the Master
Emerald beside him.
Sonic and I... We both concentrated as the Chaos Emeralds surrounded us. I... I could feel
the power of the Chaos Emeralds swelling within me... It... It is a amazing feeling...
As I opened my eyes, I saw Sonic turning from his cool blue to a golden yellow. His green eyes
changed into red. I looked at myself, my black body has changed into a white gold color.
We are now Super Sonic... and Hyper Shadow...
We either flew outside, using a tunnel that leads from the core to the front of the ARK or used
the power of Chaos Control. Either way, we are now facing the bigger, uglier, giant brute. Looks
like the Biolizard became FinalHazard.
"Let's do this!" Super Sonic said.
Eggman's voice came over the comm. "Can you hear me, Sonic, Shadow? He's very weak without his
Life-Support System. Aim for the red swelling areas. You're our LAST hope."
I watched as Super Sonic flew to a blister on the lizard's big ugly hide and it wasn't a pretty
site to see it burst. Oh well, at least the Biolizard/FinalHazard has howled in pain.
I called out to Super Sonic "Sonic! Leave it to me! I'll destroy him!"
I flew towards the Biolizard as I saw another blister. I quickly veered as a laser was shot out
from the Biolizard.
"Where does it get all that power? Is it from the Chaos Emeralds? Shadow, are you okay?" Super
Sonic pressed as I that blister I spotted. Super Sonic could be right, he must have absorbed some
power of the emeralds to protect himself. That won't work!
"Now it's up to you, Sonic!" I shouted.
"Shadow, you need rest. Let me give it a try!" Super Sonic called as he zoomed forward, dodging a
laser blast from the Biolizard.
"Sonic," Knuckles radioed in. "We're in danger. The colony will enter the atmosphere in about
four minutes!"
Darn it! We need more time! I quickly took my turn as Super Sonic struck another blister. We
must defeat this thing fast!
"Yeah! Take that, you creep!" Super Sonic laughed. "Shadow, are you okay!"
I didn't say anything... All I said is "Here I come, you creep!" I flew towards the Biolizard,
ducking the lasers and striking another blister.
"We almost got him!" Super Sonic said as he flew towards the Biolizard.
I watched Super Sonic flying towards the Biolizard, ducking BOTH lasers and energy eggs before
striking a fifth blister!
"Can you hear me! Sonic, Shadow, everyone here is rooting for you! Good luck, and give him
trouble!" Rouge raidoed in.
I smiled. I flew towards the Biolizard, giving creepy the final blow before he fell into a
lifeless limp!
Me and Super Sonic stood beside each other.
"I shall undo all of Professor Gerald's work..." I said, proudly.
"Did you really think you had a chance!" Super Sonic added, grinning. And now, its time to stop
the ARK. We both look up as the ARK started to enter the atmosphere.
"No way THAT'S getting through!" Super Sonic yelled as we both soared up towards it.
As they went up, I could almost hear Maria's voice.
"Shadow, I beg of you-!" Maria's voice, echoed...
"Maria?" I whispered. I... I'm so close to heaven. I must weak of energy so, I must put a lot of
it in order to pull this off! "-give them a chance...to be happy!" Maria finished...
Super Sonic gave the word. "NOW SHADOW!"
We both concentrated and released the energy. "CHAOS CONTROL!" we yelled together, and the
colony dissappeared in a flash of light.
As the colony vanished... I was falling towards Earth, no energy left inside of me.
Super Sonic tried to help me but, I pushed him away, pulling a braclet off my hand. Super Sonic
knew what I was doing... He has enough energy for himself to enter the ARK when it comes back.
"Goodbye, Shadow. My friend..." Super Sonic said, sadly and turned around to fly back...
I closed my eyes as I fell to Earth. I felt my body was dying... Either losing oxygen or changing
back to my black form... All I know is... I'm joining Maria and we shall be happy. I don't know
if I survive or not... At least Maria's wish came true... "Maria...this is what you wanted,
right? This is my promise to you..." Those where my last words...
That is how my story ends... Although, it might not be the end of me... As I fell to Earth,
a purple jem slipped into my hand and a purple flash came into my eyes... So, I might return...
I might not... but, for now...
Goodbye...
THE END. (For now...)
Thats it. That is Shadow's story finished. To all of you for reviewing my story, thank you for
reading and, thank you Shadow...
