Me: I wish to point out to everyone before they start reading is that Chris will be in this story, for the first few chapters. It takes place basically during the final battle with the Meterax in Sonic X, but with a twist.

Sonic: Starkage got the idea from a challenge by kittyinboots, but doesn't want to do it in the way as it was described. Anyway, Starkage does not own any characters mentioned in the story. All characters are owned by their respective owners.

Deja vu

(Shadow P.O.V.)

How am I supposed to tell them? I thought as I floated in space several miles away from the Blue Typhoon and the currently joined Crimson Egg, where I know that his friends would be waiting to see him unharmed, one of his annoying smirks on his face, but that would never happen. I turned around, the large light not too far from where I was, the last thing he did, and the last thing he'll ever do. I flew toward the two ships, the golden chaos aura still flowing around me as my super form has yet to stop. I flew to the hangar of the blue ship before making my way inside, the memory of what happened only minutes ago still flowing fresh in my mind.

Flashback

The blue hedgehog and I were inside the two tailed fox's Sonic Power Cannon, a golden light forming as the golden aura surrounding us both grew brighter as we spin dashed. Since the cannon was only meant for one person, or hedgehog in this case, we were sent bouncing off the walls, which quickly generated the power before we were blasted toward the tree covered planet. We struck through the core, the voice of Dark Oak yelled out in anger as he knew that he was defeated. We uncurled out of our spin dash as the planet was engulfed and a large white light. My eyes widened as I realized what was about to happen.

"They'll never get out of the blast in time." I stated as I prepared to take off the golden inhibitor rings that were placed around my wrist, my red eyes glancing over to the two ships. I didn't have enough time to react as a fist was punched at my stomach. I crippled over, more in surprise than in actual pain as I looked up into amber eyes.

"Sorry Shads, but you did it the last time, its only right if I do it." The once blue hedgehog said as he pushed me away before facing the exploding planet.

"Chaos Control!"

Flashback ended

I floated down to the ship, the super form wearing off as I landed. I clenched my fist, the only object I had found placed tightly in my grip. I made my way through the hallways until I made my way into the control room where the blue hedgehog's friends were.

"Has anyone seen Sonic or Shadow?" a high-pitched voice said as I gritted my teeth as I walked in. After a few steps, everyone realized that I had made it back, but looked around to see if anyone else was with me.

"Where's Sonic?" Tails asked. I knew this was going to be hard on him. By the way he protected the Cosmo girl when I came to kill her, I knew that he liked her in some way, but to tell him that his best friend is gone would most likely break him even more. I walked over to him, eyes slanted slightly as he seemed slightly scared. After I was directly in front him, I grabbed his hand, making the others go into the fighting position if I dare to harm the little kid. I didn't even hesitate in my action as I opened his hand and placed the object on the palm.

"I'm sorry." I quietly said as I heard everyone gasp as they recognized the rubber material. Torn in several places, but still recognizable, was one of Sonic's glove. I closed my eyes and walked away as I heard the quiet whimpers of the fox, eyes shut as he tried to fight back the returning tears. I walked toward an opposite wall and leaned against it, my arms crossed against my chest and my eyes closed as I didn't want to see the scene in front of me.

"Shadow!" a voice shouted in surprise as my eyes snapped open and looked at the screen to see Eggman, a shock look clearly seen on his face before a grin grew, "Hohoho, if you're here than that means, the blue pest is of no bother to me anymore. My, isn't this my lucky day. Shadow, Rouge, report to my ship immediately."

"No." I said as I glared at the scientist.

"Wha…what do you mean no? I'm the one who saved you during the ARK incident, you owe me." he sharply replied, slamming a fist on the metal counter.

"I said no Egghead," I retaliated as I walked closer to the screen, "and I mean it. I do not care that you have saved me, my assistance is needed here." I smirked slightly as I saw his face turn slightly red in anger.

"Fine, be that way, Rouge, come on." The white bat walked to my side as she looked at the doctor with her aquamarine eyes.

"Sorry Eggman, but where he goes, I go." She said as we glanced at each other.

"Fine, I'll be leaving than!" he shouted as he turned off his communicator, not before muttering 'annoying vermin'. The ship shook slightly, causing everyone to stagger as the Crimson Egg unlatched itself from the Blue Typhoon and headed back to Mobius. Minutes later, the Blue Typhoon was prepared to make the long journey back home. I was offered the seat where my rival had token on the voyage while Rouge was offered Cosmo's. I looked around the area, the atmosphere still having the dreadful mourning feeling. I thought for a second for anything to make them happy again, or at least in a better state than the current one, but only one idea popped into my head as I looked at the picture of Sonic and Tails together which was placed in a small compartment of the seat.

If I only had knew it would change my attitude forever.

(Shadow P.O.V. ends, With Eggman)

The tall doctor seemed overly calmed than he was a few minutes ago as he watched the stolen planet eggs race back to the planets they belonged to.

"Are you alright Doctor?" A tall, skinny, and gold robot asked as he looked up at the rounded human.

"Of course, I'm just thinking…have this ship turned around and go as close as you can coordinate (0, 0, 0)" Eggman demanded as the three robots looked at each other in confusion.

"But Doctor, what do you expect to find there?" A short, round, and gray robot said as he and the gold one turned the ship and headed for the frozen area.

"I just have this weird feeling, ah ha," he stated as he caught sight of a small object, "just as I thought." He grinned, the goggles placed over his eyes flashing
