Shadow

"Run, Maria!" Shadow called to a girl behind her.

Shadow and Maria, two best friends, ran with all their might to a door letting them in the Escape Pod on The ARK in space, floating just above the earth.

"They're running into the Escape Pod!" a GUN soldier called to his teammates. "Get them!"

The GUN solders ran after Shadow and Maria.

"We want them dead!"

Shadow was unlike Maria in one huge way. He was created in Superform. Maria was a normal girl.

They finally reached the Escape Pod, and opened the door. They closed it, and then ran to the pod.

"Shadow, I cannot go with you to Earth," Maria said sadly.

Maria pushed Shadow inside the pod.

"Maria…" Shadow said softly.

Maria pushed the "Close" button on the control panel as the GUN soldiers crashed through the door. Shadow and Maria gasped.

"Shadow, I hate to say good-bye, but this is the end!" Maria said.

"Stop right there," a GUN soldier commanded.

Maria pressed the "Release" button on the control panel.

"Maria!" Shadow said, dropping to his knees.

"Shadow, promise me… for the humans…" Maria began.

Just then, a GUN soldier fired his gun at Maria.

"MARIA!" Shadow yelled.

The pod dropped down falling to Earth.
