Shadamy: Face Down Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Thanks For All the Memories
Shadow the Hedgehog's Side of the Story


     "Shadow, we need to talk," Silver said as he got off the black sofa, "I have a warning for you about your future."
     "What is it?" I asked.  Silver started to walk until he was 5 inches close to me.
     "Shadow, I want you to stop from what you are doing right now. I can't let you be with her anymore." Silver said as he pointed a finger at me… He's talking about Rouge, right?
     "Fine, you can have her." I said as I walked over to my bed and sat down.
     "What…" Silver said surprised. "But in the future, you always said you loved her… Why are you giving up on her!?!?!?!" Silver knows me in the future? Wow…
     "Silver, you just told me I can't be with her, and now you want me too?" I asked cause I think he's going a little too far. Silver couldn't speak.
     "Uhhhh…" He put his hand on his ear and shook his head. "Stop messing with my head!" he yelled as he stopped shaking his head to take a look at me.
     "I'm not doing anything!!!" I yelled back.
     "Just stop. For the future, you can't date her cause you will doom us all." Silver put his hands down from his ears.
     "How am I going to mess up if I'm not really dating but acting like I am dating Rouge?" I asked. Silver look in shocked.
     "ROUGE!?!? Who's Rouge?" Silver ask.
     "A bat girl that is really a pain!"
     "Oh…" Silver looked down to the floor, then back at me. "What year is this?" He ask wondering.
     "I don't know, I don't keep in time. Only what I need to do now, and one of them is getting you out of here soon."
     "Very funny Shadow… But really what year or the day at least."
     "August 25, 201-"
     "I traveled too far into the past…" Silver said loudly.
     "Hmm… This is reminds me of the time we went back into the past." I said. *Seen in the Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Xbox.*
     "Oh yea, the time we had to save the future!" Silver said smiling.
     "Silver," I asked. "If we saved the future back then. Why are you here telling me to save the future again? Also, if we saved the future, you shouldn't be here cause that should of changed the future…"
     "That's a good point Shadow, but no. I'm still going to be here cause SEGA needs a future person like me to save the day.  Also, I have lots of fans that would love me to stay and SEGA can't lose fans cause they will lose money. That's why I'm here!" Silver said thinking he's so full of himself.
     "I'm not your fan…" I said turning my head to look out the window.
     "Oh don't worry, I'm going to be here forever until they come up with a new character." …no…
     "Give me 5 sec. I could come up with something better." I said.
     "Also Shadow, my family still got together, no matter what." Silver said smiling.
     "Who cares?" I said.
     "Well I do and I don't want you to wreck it."
     "Okay, I can stop being with Rouge."
     "No she's not the one I thought you were with." Silver said as I turned my head to look at him.
     "Then who?" I ask.
     "Well… I know her name but I can't tell you." Of course…
     "Then how am I going to stay away from her if I don't know her name?" I asked wondering how he's going to do it…
     "Don't know, she's the only other main hedgehog in this story, that's a female… I think she's not that hard to find."
     "… Silver if she's not with me. Why do we have to find her?" I started to think I'm the only one with a brain round here…
     "Well… Uh…" Silver said as he tried to think of something better to say.
     "Silver if you don't have a good point of being here, then get out cause I don't want to hear about the future." I said as I laid down on my bed, then turn my back facing him.
     "Shadow, just don't see her or I'll be back." He said.
     "Fine." I said. I hear silver footsteps. Then it sounded like he jumped down from my room. I turn my head to see what happened. My bed room window was opened. I guess he jumped out the window. I'm starting to think my old life with Maria was better than here. Even though, I remember the day I failed all to well.

*Dream/Memory*

     It started out with me going to get Maria. I walked everywhere, but no Maria. I went to her bedroom. I only saw one gray bed with some books about Earth and a wooden  table. I wish I could find her, I needed to tell her. I found the place were we could get on Earth…
  
(BANG!!!)

     What? Something wrong. I ran out of Maria's room to the main floor. Doc was yelling at the man in the room holding the door closed. Maria was were being scared. I was about to say 'What's going on' but Doc saw me and said "Shadow take Maria."
     I went over to Maria and grabbed her hand and then started running with her. She wasn't fast but I tried to let her keep up with me. We run down the stairs, doors, and halls. It felt like years gone by. That's until I heard  voices down the hallway. Maria and I keep on running way from the voices. But the voices came closer.
     We got to the door we needed to be at, I pushed it open and let Maria run inside first. Then I closed the door and ran to the machine. I pressed every button. After I was done, I looked at Maria. She looked like she couldn't believe what she was seeing. But it was ready, I open my right hand and hung it out for her. She looked at it, then grabbed it.

(BANG!!!)

     That came from outside the door. There was no time to wait. I pulled Maria with me on the stand. Maria was… well lets just say, I didn't have her hand right. When I was on the stand, she moved away from me to the buttons, and pressed one of them. A glass thing shot down round me. I was trapped. I kicked and punched but nothing hurt it. Maria started to cry and said something but I couldn't hear it that well. The main door moved like someone on the outer side was trying to hit it. I looked back at Maria, yelling "Maria don't!"
     Maria kept on crying. She had her hands on a lever, then she said, "Shadow, people down there are-" I stopped listening because I needed to save her. But it was too late. Some gun man got through the door. One of the man pointed a gun at Maria. Once I get out of here, his gone! They kept on telling her to stop but she didn't. I looked at them wishing there were gone. Then turned to see Maria one more time. But there was something different. Her golden hair turn into a pinkish color, and her face made a hedgehog look… Even her dress turn more red than blue. Tell the truth, I kind of liked it red… But the one thing I know it wasn't Maria anymore cause of her eyes. The eyes looked like I was looking at Earth for the first time. She turn to me with those light green eyes.
     "Good-bye Shadow the Hedgehog," she said so beautifully. I started to cry. The gun fried. She was falling.
     "NO!" I yelled. Then everything went black…
