I forgot to do the declaimer last time so here it is: *takes deep breath* I don't own sonic the hedgehog or any related charters!!! Thank you. Umm, I'm not exactly sure what happen on the ARK (seeing I don't have the game) so bare with me, Kay?

Chapter 1: Shadows of the night fade away with the light of day and the dawn of new hope

(Key word: SHADOW ^^)

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"...Report is that Professor Devin Sheehan has not been located. After a horrific cave-in and the site of an underground Egyptian tomb he was trap in side with no way out. We're all hoping for the be-" The TV was cut off as Tails flipped through the channels.

"Kind of sad huh? I mean about that Professor and all." Sonic said as he sat down next to Tails. It's been about two weeks since the incident with the space colony ARK, Bio-lizard, and Shadow the Hedgehog's untimely...end. No one has recovered from the shock of losing a friend so quickly, even if Shadow didn't act like it.

"I know what you mean; by the way...did you find the missing Chaos emerald yet? Tails didn't realize how much that simple question heart his companion.

"No." Sonic responded blissfully, old wounds had been ripped open and memory of the dark hedgehog surfaced again. "I'm...going for a run. See ya later buddy." With that he took off.

*~*

...Something's calling...

*~*

Sonic ran. He was in sure where he was going or how long he'd been gone. He kept running till the cobalt hedgehog tripped at the foot of a snowy mountain.

"How I get here?" he asked no one. "Could have...sworn...I was heading to...the beach..." Emerald eyes caught a disturbance in the mountain. In an instant he was gone, but this time he headed strait up the side of the mountain. He'd seen something in the snow, a distinct contrast to the crisp white summit. Digging at the snow furiously he uncovered what his eyes could not believe, but what his mind had hoped all along. "Ho God."

...And then came the third...

Shiloh O'Brian, a six-teen year old shepherd-haft breed, walked down the street to her New York apartment. She pasted by one of the dark and creepy alee ways when some thing caught her eye.

'What was that?' Shiloh, curiosity getting the better of her, went to investigate. She wandered down the long stretches of paved walls, a quick blur catching her eye here and there leading Shiloh further in to the mouse trap.

Finally the creature -if you could call it that- leads Shiloh to a dead end. Even though she was surrounded by the shadows of dusk she could sense it watching her.

"Show you self" Shiloh demanded trying to keep the fear out of her voice.

"Such a harsh tone," The creatures responded. "Not needed for some one of your states to be so controversial." Even though she could not see, she knew the creature was waiting for her to question its statement.

"What...do you mean...?" Slowly the creature stepped out from the shadows.

"My name...is Katelin Galileo, if you please I prefer Kat." Kat said as she revealed her self to the bewildered Shiloh. She was a pink cat and was wearing a traditional Egyptian outfit. Witch consisted of a white skirt that just past her knees; the lining was trimmed with gold. The top also was white and trimmed with gold around the neck and sleeves. "I know what you've been through, I can't replace what you lose nor will I try, but if you let me I can...help." Kat's eyes seem to soften towards the girl. She could fell the pain Shiloh held. She knew...

About a year ago Shiloh lose all reminisce of her family. Shiloh was sure how it happed or even if it really did it's like it came right out of a science fiction move. One day Shiloh came home from school, but no one was there. Figuring they went shopping or something she thought nothing of it. They didn't come back. Shiloh decided to call a friend, when she asked the mother she said she had never heard of some one named Shiloh and hung up. She called her mom's cell phone; the operator said the number was not in service. Getting desperate she called the police and asked them to bring up her dad's record, they said there was no such person.

All this ran through Shiloh's mind in a faction of a second. "Show me." A small light surrounded the two of them and they teleported away.

*~*

...The light will show that way...

It was a stormy night, Sonic had been gone all afternoon and Tails was passing the time with his machines, oblivious to his surroundings. Lighting flash and the front door instantly basted open. In ran Sonic, Shadow -yes, Shadow the self proclaim Ultimate Life Form we all thought was dead- was swung over his shoulder both looked like they'd been through Hell and back!

"Sonic is that-" Sonic cut him off.

"Yes, it's Shadow!" He rushed in to the guest bedroom and lades the darker hedgehog down as best he could with out giving him more pain.

"Is he goanna be alright?" Tails ask timidly.

"Of course he's goanna be alright, he's 'The Ultimate Life Form' remember?" Sonic answered trying to ease tails' fears. 'You better be alright Shadow, I don't think any of us could go on if toy lost you again...' Sonic thought to him self as he and Tails left the room.

*~Shadow's Dream~*

Shadow and Maria dashed down the long hallways of the space colony ARK as GUN troops stormed the compound.

"Get out of here, go to Earth, and take Maria with you Shadow!" Gerald Robotnik's words ran clearly though his mind. What did they want with him? Shadow couldn't answer, but he had to get him self-and Maria- off the ARK. Turning corners here and there with GUN on there tails they made it to the room with the emergency escape capsules, but the hope of both of them making it to Earth was shattered by a single gun shot.

"MARIA!" Shadow cried out in agony. He saw her heave her self up to the control panel. Pressing a few buttons she struggled with her last words to Shadow.

"Shadow...I beg of you...give them...a chance...to be happy..." More GUN troops entered the chamber.

"Hold it right there! Project Shadow must not escape!" Suddenly a strange white tiger jumped in front of the Troops! Roaring ferociously the GUN men-at-arms fell back in surprise as another leaped from the shadows and hit the emergency door button.

The first said some thing to the seconded and Shadow was able to get a good look at the two of them.

Both were tigers for sure but they seemed to be built for extreme high speeds. Instead of their strips being black, rainbow colors flowed through the slits. The best way I know how to describe it is if you have the 3-D maze for a screen saver and you change it to the multicolor in a way that's what it looked like. Also the first's eyes where sapphire wail the other's where emerald.

Emerald green eyes held urgency as the tiger pulled Maria on his back and dashed in to the other room.

Sapphire eyes ran up to the computer console. It mouthed the words 'We'll take care of her' as it hit the capsule release button. A silent prayer was made that he'd be alright.

*~End Dream~*

Shadow awoke with a bit of a start. Stepping out of the room he found Tails desperately pounding on the door trying to wake up Sonic. Until Shadow spoke up "Do you all ways have to get him up like that?"

"Yes, every time. Sleep well?" The kitsune acted like he has visitors the save the world, fell through the atmosphere leading everyone to believe they're dead mysteriously being found alive and severely wounded then waking up the next morning all fine and dandy, all the time.

"Yes, in a way." Tails didn't bother asking what he meant.

"Well, I know one way to get Sonic up and that's breakfast, want some?" He asked as he walked down the hallway towards the kitchen.

"Sure." Shadow whispered as he followed Tails to the kitchen and sat down on one of the bar stools and watch Tails make a batch of pancakes. He place three plates with pancakes and the works on the table and called: "Sonic, breakfast is ready!!" instantly a blue blur speed out of his room right to the pancakes like a homing missile.

"Hi Shadow, fellin' better? That's good." Sonic wolfed down the pancakes fast as lighting. "Going out guys, see ya later!" Assuming the objective of a homing missile he dashed of again.

"Does he always do that?"

"Everyday."

*~*

I lied.

T.: you so mean.

I lied.

Bacura: are you going to stop saying that any time soon?

Nope. If you're wondering, Tigris has sapphire eyes and Bacura has emerald. No I didn't take the Yugiho! character name and add a 'C' in sated of a 'K'. I made Bacura and Tigris a long time be for Yugiho! came out and before I ever heard of Sonic they just seem to fit here when SA2 came out so, yeah. R&R people!!!! ^^
