And how did I get here? The last thing that happened was… those eyes. Those red glowing eyes… I was attacked and brought to this room… by a familiar person who I had never met. He seemed familiar, but I didn't recognize him… I feel like I'm in a dream and can't wake up. Who is that bat there? Oh no! Enemy fire! I jumped down and pushed the bat to the floor. "Stay here." Was my warning to her as I charged at the robot attacking me. I jumped to the walls, blending with the shadows. As I launched myself at the enemy, the bat from before placed herself between us to stop the fight.

My head felt blank. The bat spoke of a great conquer that had recently taken place… and that I had helped? I didn't remember that, although I couldn't remember anything. She speaks so tenderly about that time. About me…

Could what she says be true?

"Was that who I think it was?" Sonic pondered. "Could Shadow really be back? No, this is just some wanna be. A fake faker. He'll regret this…" With Knuckles and Tails at his side, Sonic could not lose, even against Rouge, this new robot, and this imposter disgracing Shadow's name.

~~^~~

And at the sight of him, it all came back: this bat with me is Rouge, Eggman released me, and I then met Sonic, we went to ARK, and we were going to crash, we fought the Biolizard, and then I fell to earth- Wait, how did I survive? After I fell, I met that strange, hooded man, and… I don't know what happened after that. Wait, I do remember Sonic, but every moment seems to drag him farther from my mind.

Now he's just and vague image, though I still remember everything else. No, the others aren't there either. The memories stay, but people are fleeing from my mind. I stare at Rouge as we walk, just to make sure she doesn't leave, too.

"What is it, Shadow?" Rouge asked when she noticed me staring at her.

"N-nothing," I replied. I won't tell her, yet. Sonic the Hedgehog. I thought this over and over just to make sure I didn't lose the memory forever. Why could I remember what happened, but not my-my-- friends?
