Okay, I didn't want to lose this idea, and since I can't work on this story due to having 3 other unfinished stories, I'm placing this little tidbit up so I don't forget everything I'm thinking of…and I guess it's a teaser right now. The point is, don't expect any more chapters for this anytime soon, just put it on alert and you'll know when I start actually working on it! So right now…

ENJOY!!!

WARNING: THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS OF THE ENDING TO "SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG" SO DO NOT READ THIS UNDER ANY CIRCIMSTANCES IF YOU WISH TO HAVE THE FULL SATISFACTION OF COMPLETING THE GAME ON YOUR OWN! SKIP TO AFTER THE PROLOUGE IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO READ THE SPOILER! THANK YOU.

Shadow stood on the large, black meteor, overlooking the city. The black mist had completely covered the city and was spreading farther than he could see. A strong wind blew through the quills protruding from the back of his head. Shadow, who was glowing a strong gold color, jumped into the air, then dashed down and under the comet. He placed his hands on the bottom of the comet and used a large pertion of his remaining energy.

"It's time to put the past, behind me." Shadow started glowing even bright, "Chaos...CONTROL!" There was a bright flash as the whole comet vanished in a quick, bright flash.

The comet re-appeared in outer space above Earth. The Space Colony Arc's super laser began charging, aimed directly at the comet. After a few seconds of charging, a large, green, blast of energy lanced out of the Arc, and collided with the comet, destroying it completley. Many cheered at the sight of the comet's destuction as the black mist dissapated. The planet was once again saved by Shadow the Hedgehog. Everyone rejoiced as the planet was peaceful once again.

Shadow stood on the bridge of the Arc, overlooking the planet Earth. He held a faded picture of Maria and Dr. Gerald. He looked down at the picture for a moment, and thought about his cursed past.

"Goodbye forever...Shadow the Hedgehog."

Shadow truned and began to walk away from the window. As he walked, he tossed the photo away...and didn't turn back.

3 months later...

They tried to destroy me, yet I saved them, even after killing the one I cared for..."

FLASH
"GO! Gather all seven Chaos Emeralds, so we may put the humans in their place!"
FLASH
"Wh-what! I can't move!
"Do you feel that? I have complete control over your body, for my blood runs through your veins!"
"What!"
FLASH
"I'ts time to put the past, behind me! CHAOS...CONTROL!"
FLASH

"After attempting to destroy me once again, I saved them once more. I recovered the memories of my dark past, then threw them away, along with my purpose of creation. Now, all I have left...is power."
