:SIghs: Okay, I know this is stupid, but I'm having Writers block for Boku no Kage. So I decided I will post my other Sonadow I'm working on. :sighs again: I am stupid, because I have three or four fics in progress... Oh, and I'm not sure about the rating :bites her lip:

Anywho. On with the fic...



Eggman watched in glee, as a blue blur came running through all his defences, headed towards the main control centre. “Time to begin” he grinned creepily. He walked out the door, to the control room, tugging on a rope.


Eggman looked around the room. it was dark, except for the light highlighting him. He checked the rope was close to hand, and waited patiently for Sonic.

He didn’t have to wait long. Half a minute later, the blue hero ran in. he did a double take at the room. “You’re getting old Egg-butt.” He said, getting over the shock. “:its getting easier every time.”

Eggman ignored the jibe. “Now I have you here Sonic, prepare to die.” The doors slammed shut.

Sonic immediately moved into a fighting stance. “So you almost killed Tails by mistake.” he stated

Eggman laughed. “No I wanted to draw you here.”

“You sick fucker!” Sonic shouted, getting ready to attack.

“Not today Sonic.” Eggman said threateningly.

“Why not?” the hero said cockily.

“You don’t want to be the cause of someones death do you?”

Sonics eyes dimmed. “No. Not another.” He said brokenly.

“That’s better.” Eggman said. “Now where was I? Oh yes! I drew you here to kill you, but I think I’d rather torture you first.”

Sonic didn’t respond, caught up in recriminatory thoughts.

“Are you listening to me?!” Eggman roared.

Sonic didn’t move, not even to shake his head. A laser fired at his feet, causing him to look at Eggman.

“Finally. Now that I’ve got you attention, I’m going to torture you.”

Sonic snorted. “You suck Egg-butt.”

Eggman smirked evilly. “But I know what will hurt you.” He yanked on the rope next to him.

Shadow stumbled out of the darkness next to Eggman and fell on his knees, head bowed, in front of the sadistic man. The rope was attached to a thick collar around his neck.

Sonics brief flash of relief – he hadn’t killed Shadow – was bulldozed aside by his anger. “You Sicko.” He ground out flatly. “What did you do to him?”

Eggman grinned – a grin Sonic was starting to hate – and pulled Shadows’ head up. His ruby eyes were dazed. Eggman licked the black hedgehogs ear. “The drugs keep him placid.” He said smugly, letting Shadows’ head drop. He looked at Sonic. “Metal, take him to the holding cells.” He said dismissively. “Oh, and don’t try to escape. Shadow’s life is in your hands.”

Sonic growled under his breath, but followed Metal Sonic. They walked through the base, and Metal led Sonic to a relatively large cell. Metal shut the door and walked off, leaving Sonic alone with his thoughts.


Okay. Sorry That it's short, but it is in progress... Review? If its not too much to ask...

Um... also, wanted to know if there are any RP-ers out there... Esp yaoi ones? http://harem.chaotic-system.net its a message board for that...

Okay... yeah... might update soon, depending on if i get over my writed block.

Okay, Chapter Two... Updating for anything is gonna be sporadic now... school is coming up...

Sonic was having a hard time getting his facts straight. “Shadow is alive.” He muttered to himself. “I didn’t kill him.” He sat down, still muttering. “But how did Eggman get him? And why does Eggman keep him drugged? Weren’t they working together?”

“Very true Sonic.” Eggman said from outside the cell. “We were working together, but Shadow wanted to join up with you.” he stroked Shadows’ head. The ebony hedgehog was kneeling next to him again.

Sonic blinked, and decided to ignore Eggman’s actions, and get some information. “Where was he?” he asked.

“He smashed into Red Mountain.” Eggman stated, still fondling Shadow.

“And the drugs?” Sonic asked.

“I said before they keep him placid.” Eggman turned to Sonic. “You’re very strange, you know that? You forgive someone who tried to destroy the world.”

Sonic fake yawned. “You gonna reach appoint this century Egg-butt?”

Eggman looked scathingly at the blue hedgehog. “You care about him. The fact tha you didn’t try to escape – well it doesn’t mater. I said I was going to torture you.” he started to walk off, yanking on the rope to pull Shadow behind him.

“Eggman?” Sonic asked, confused. “EGGMAN!”

No one answered.


Sonic blinked. Eggman had left an hour ago, and no one had checked on him during that time.

The door at the end of the hallway opened, and Eggman walked out, pulling Shadow behind him.

Sonic jumped up. “Egg-butt, What’d you mean?” Sonic shouted. He was silenced as Eggman kicked Shadow. “What’d you do that for?” he asked, horrified.

Eggman rolled his eyes. “It hurts you to see your friends in pain, blue boy.” He said slowly, like he was talking to a child. He opened the cell door, and threw Shadow in. “See you.” He said evilly, walking out of the holding cell area.

Sonic waited for a few seconds, before running to Shadows’ side. “Shadow? Shadow, are you okay?” he rolled Shadow over. The black hedgehog was breathing shallowly, but no bruises could be seen beneath his dark fur. “Sorry.” Sonic said in a heartfelt tone, and propped Shadow against the wall.


A few hours later, awareness returned to Shadows’ eyes. “Sonic?” He asked hoarsely.

“Shadow?” Sonic asked hopefully. “You okay?”

Shadow levered himself up. “I feel like I got hit by a truck.” He groaned, as movement aggravated his injuries.

“Sorry.” Sonic said, looking at the floor.

“Doesn’t matter.” Shadow said, eyes dulling. “You could have run off, it’s my fault you’re here.”

Both were silent, and then Shadow spoke up. “Can you help get this off?” he asked, tugging at the collar.

Sonic nodded. “Sure” he moved closer to Shadow, looking for a buckle. “Found it.” He muttered. “Stay still a moment Shads.” His fingers fumbled, and he missed Shadow tensing.

“What are you trying Shadow?” Eggman asked, smiling nastily.

Shadow froze, but Sonic kept trying to undo the collar.

“Naughty hedgehogs.” Eggman chided. He threw open the cell and pulled Shadow out, slamming the door shut quickly. He stuck a needle into the ebony hedgehog.

Shadow stiffened, and fell to his knees again.

“I think both of you need a lesson.” Eggman leered. He went into the next room for a moment, and then came out with a whip.

Shadow bit his lip, aware enough to know what was going on.

Sonic blinked. “What the hell! Egg-butt you’re a-”

Eggman brought the whip down on Shadows’ back. “No removing the collar.” He said, striking the prone hedgehog with each word. He continued to hit Shadow until the black hedgehog passed out, though he didn’t scream once. Panting slightly, Eggman went into the room again, exiting without the whip. He knelt down next to Shadow, lifting his arms and snapping cuffs around his wrists. He then picked up the limp hedgehog, throwing him at Sonic. “Be good now.” He wagged his finger at Sonic.

Sonic stared in horror. Eggman had way over reacted. Tears slipped down his cheeks. “I’m so, so, sorry Shadow.”

Eggman smirked. The blue hero wasn’t feeling so cocky anymore. This was way better than his other plans. His smirk widened, Shadow would pay.


Okay... yeah, also short... This story is gonna be shorter than B.n.K. I am evil to Shadow hey? :winces: anyhwoi, reviews would be nice....

Okay... I am feeling very low now... :sigh: would someone review? pretty uber chibi please?

:silence:

Aw bugger... :hangs head dejectedly: Anyway, new chapter of this up... :looks back at other chapters: Man those are SHORT!



A few hours later, Metal came in, bearing a tray. “HERE” he said raspingly. On the tray was a pitcher and some bowls, fabric, and some salve. “DR ROBOTNIK WANT YOU TO LOOK AFTER HIM.”

Sonic nodded after a moment, taking the proffered tray form Metal. “Thanks.” He said hesitantly. Metal just walked away.

Sonic turned back to Shadow. The ebony hedgehog hadn’t regained consciousness. He was slightly worried about the effects the drugs were having though. He poured some water into a bowl, and dipped some fabric in the water. Thus prepared, he started to wash out Shadows’ wounds. “I know this’s gotta hurt, but I have to.” He spoke to the comatose hedgehog. Once they were clean, he placed the salve on, and wrapped more fabric around the black hedgehogs’ torso. Returning his gaze to Shadows’ face, he realised the crimson orbs were open and aware, though slightly dazed.

Shadow pulled a face. “Damn, pissed him off didn’t I?” he noticed the extra weight around his wrists, and paled. Trying to take his mind off things, he looked around, and noticed the tear tracks on Sonics’ face. “You okay blue boy?” he asked worriedly.

Sonic smiled, albeit weakly. “Yeah, you’re the one that got hurt.” He looked down at himself, noting the blood with shock. “Umm… That’s yours.” He said, trying to reassure Shadow.

Said hedgehog nodded. “Good I’ve caused you enough grief.”

Sonic opened his mouth to disagree, but Shadow kept talking.

“Yes. I did. I made you worry for over a year, and now Eggman catches you… you should escape.”

“No!” Sonic blurted out. “Eggman’s crazy-”

Shadow shook his head sadly. “You could already be gone.” He accused.

“If you think I’m leaving you with that psycho – he was going to kill you.” Sonic started pacing.

“What makes you think I can be killed?” Shadow asked, a trace of his previous attitude showing through.

Sonic snorted. “Even if he can’t kill you, he can still drug you senseless.”

Shadow was silent. “Why do you care?”

Sonic didn’t answer for a long while. “Because you’re a friend. I would do the same for Tails or Knux.”

Shadow nodded. “Why don’t you go get your friends help?” he offered.

“I already said, I’m not leaving you with that psycho.”

Shadow smiled gently. “Thanks.”


“Rise and shine.” Eggman shouted.

Sonic jumped in front of Shadow. “Piss off Egg-butt. Leave him alone.”

Eggman pretended to think for a moment. “No” He smirked.

Metal suddenly opened the cell, and held Sonic while Eggman grabbed Shadow. Again he walked to the room at the end of the hallway.

“Shadow!” Sonic shouted, thrashing. He knocked metal off. Nevertheless, Eggman and Shadow were already out of range.

Metal glared. “THERE WAS NO NEED TO DO THAT.” he said disapprovingly. He walked out of the cell.

Sonic sighed. As it was, he couldn’t help Shadow. “Some friend I am.” He muttered bitterly.


An hour later, Sonic was very worried. He had heard a pained yelp from the room Eggman had dragged Shadow to.

Soon after Eggman walked out, again pulling Shadow after him.

The black hedgehogs arm was broken in three places.

Sonic hissed, knowing from experience how painful broken bones could be. He wondered fleetingly how Eggman had actually broken them.

Eggman looked uncharacteristically pleased.

“What are you so happy about?” Sonic asked venomously.

“Do you know how hard it is to get him to make a sound?” Eggman asked. “Now you two be good.”

Metal came in with some pieces of wood. He handed them over wordlessly.

“Blue boy.” Shadow said weakly. “Can you set these for me? Coz otherwise it’ll heal wrong.”

Sonic nodded, biting his lip. He grabbed Shadows arm and cracked the bones into their original positions.

The black hedgehog yelped. “I forgot… how much… it… hurts… having bones set.” He panted.

Sonic nodded distractedly, pacing the cell.

“What’s wrong?” Shadow asked, trying to tie the piece of wood to his arm.

Sonic smiled sheepishly. “I'm not used to staying in the same place for so long.”

Shadow blinked.

“How do you stand it? I mean, you love running as much as me.”

“I grew up on ARK. There wasn’t much of a chance to run, except when the professor wanted to test something. I didn’t get the chance to run freely until Ivan released me. You, however, grew up running around. It’s an integral part of your life.”

Sonic nodded, after a slight hesitation. “I guess that’s why we’re so different – waitasec, Ivan?”

“Yeah.” Shadow smirked. “He was one of the professors’ grandchildren” he lowered his voice. “You know he managed to get himself locked in the rest rooms on ARK once.”

Sonic smiled, though it was a ghost of his usual, and started pacing again. He didn’t notice Shadows’ looks of guilt, then determination.


Okay. I am going to go on a sulk-fest now. Until I get ONE review, I'm not gonna post more of this. :chibi eyes: please review. I have major self esteem problems, especially with the way I have been treating Shadow in all my fics. :starts to cry: why can I never write anything Fluffy with him? WHY?

:looks around, glaring at wall in mind: Okay. Here is the next chappie in this story - which is written purely because i can't think of what to write on my other story.

Is the rating high enough? :ponders: better safe than sorry...



Sonic was asleep the next time that Eggman arrived. Shadow quietly stood up and walked to the door, Eggman smirked, but kept quiet. He slipped his hand through the bars and attached the rope to the collar. Pulling on the rope he led the pliant hedgehog through the door and to a room on a different hallway.

“Its sound proofed.” Eggman said. “Now what do you want to talk to me about?”

“Let Sonic go.” Shadow said, without preamble.

“What’s in it for me?”

Shadow swallowed, and looked at the floor. “Me.”

The doctors’ smirk widened.

“But I won’t attack Sonic or his friends.” Shadow added.

Eggman looked disappointed for a second, but it quickly passed. “”You’ve fallen hard.” He pulled out a two-way radio. “Metal. Stick Sonic up on Angel Island.”

“ACCEPTED.” Metal said tinnily.



RAPE HERE. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO READ, SKIP TO THE NEXT CAPS!

Eggman put the radio down. “Now that that is done.” He turned back to Shadow, unzipping his pants. “Suck.” He ordered.

The black hedgehog opened his mouth, tentatively closing it around Eggmans’ erection. The human growled, and thrust his hips towards Shadow, forcing him to deep throat it. Shadow continued to suck, until Eggman came with a loud cry.

Shadow swallowed it, and fell to his knees trembling. ‘It’s worth it.’ He told himself repeatedly. ‘It’s worth it.’

Eggman sat down on the table. “Not bad Shadow.” He said finally. He stood up, zipping his pants. “Come here.”

OKAY. ITS OVER



The black hedgehog forced himself to stand and walk closer to Robotnik. He kept his eyes down.

“Good.” Eggman commented. He picked up two leather cuffs from a drawer in the table. “Put these on.”

Shadow leaned down, and secured the cuffs around his ankles.

“Perfect.” Eggman released the rope, and attached a proper leash in its place. He tugged lightly, indicating for Shadow to follow him. “I’d better feed you.” he muttered to himself. “Don’t want to lose you.”



Knuckles came out of his trance. Something was coming to the island. “Metal.” He realised. “Didn’t Eggman learn his lesson?” he glided over to where he felt the intruder.

“Metal! Leave the Master Emerald alone.” He said.

Metal spun around “FOOL. I’M NOT AFTER THE EMERALD.” He said.

“Then why are you here?”

“SEE FOR YOURSELF.” Metal ran off, heading for the bridge connecting Angel Island to the Mystic Ruins.

“See for yourself?” Knuckles muttered, then saw a limp blue figure. “Sonic?” he moved closer to the unconscious hero. “What happened to you?” he picked up Sonic, and notice he was. “I hope it wasn’t another ‘Shadow Quest’. You really have to look after yourself better.”

When he reached his shack, carrying Sonic, he stuck Sonic on the bed and called Tails.

“Hello? Tails here.”

“Tails, it’s Knuckles. Hey, you’ll wanna come up here. Looks like Sonic pushed himself to far again.”

“Oh dear. I’ll be there ASAP.” The young fox hung up.

Knuckles smiled to himself. Tails was like a mother hen, always worrying about Sonic. He set about getting some fruit. When Sonic awoke, he’d surely be hungry.

Ten minutes later Tails walked in. “What’d he do to himself?” he asked taking one look at Sonic.

“I dunno.” Knuckles answered. “Metal just dumped him here.”

“Metal? Now I’m confused. Metal works for Eggman and Eggman would never release Sonic.”

“We could ask him. I couldn’t figure it out either.”

There was a loud thump. “Good timing.” Knuckles commented.

“OW!” Sonic shouted.

Tails walked over to him. “Sonic, are you okay?”

"Tails?" Sonic looked around. "What am I doing on Angel Island?"

"We were hoping you could answer that." Knuckles said. "You were dropped off here by Metal Sonic. Wanna explain?"

"Metal?" Sonic wondered, then started looking around frantically. "Where's Shadow?"

"He's dead Sonic. He died helping you stop ARK from plummeting to the Earth, remember?" Tails said gently.

"No." Sonic said firmly. "He's alive. He must still be with Eggman..." His eyes widened. "We have to save him." He stood up quickly, only to have Knuckles push him back down.

"You're not going anywhere." Knuckles said strictly. "You're exhausted, and you haven't told us everything."

Tails nodded, then went and grabbed some fruit for his friend. "Eat. I bet you forgot about your metabolism again."

Sonic was outraged. "I did not!" He pouted. "Eggman just didn't feed me." He took a bite out of the proffered fruit.

"So why'd Eggman release you?" Knuckles asked.

Sonic shrugged. "Who knows what he thinks? He's a psycho."

"How'd you get caught in the first place?" Tails added worriedly. "Does Eggman have a new weapon?"

"Nah." Sonic said flippantly. he sobered up. "He used Shadow as a hostage."

"But Shadow is dead." Tails insisted

"No, he's not." Sonic said. He held out his hands. There was an identical bracelet on both.

Tails bit his lip. "But it's dangerous. What were you doing, going after Eggman in the first place?"

Sonic rubbed his head sheepishly. "Um... I was trying to avenge you."

"Sonic." Tails shook his head. "He didn't hurt me. He just trashed my workshop."

Sonic sweatdropped. "Oh well." He said finally. "We still need to go help Shads." He jumped up. "Eggman's in the jungle. Lets go!"

"Fine, but after that you're resting." Tails said.

"Yeah, yeah. Can we go now mother?" Sonic asked teasingly.

Tails blushed. "Lets just go." He growled, and ran off towards the jungle, Sonic following behind.

Knuckles looked at his retreating friends, then at the Master Emerald. "I'd better stay." He said to himself, and sat down in front of the shrine.


Okay... :looks at synopsis: hm... anywho. R+R if you have the time. BTW, thanks to Fatpanda3000 and Makoto for helping me feel loved. ^_^ :glomps both: thankie. ^_^

Firtsly I want to thank everyone who has reviewed. You are all so kind to me. :hugs all readers:

Secondly, I want to apologise for the cliffie in B.n.K. I have said this before, but I am sorry for it... my muses are evil.

Okay, on with the fic. ^_^


Eggman smirked. The cuffs around Shadow's limbs were being used as they should be. The black hedgehog looked so fragile hanging from the chains. Faced with this it was easy to forget that Shadow was his grandfathers 'Ultimate Life Form'

He lifted Shadow's chin, forcing the hedgehog to look him in the eyes. The ruby eyes were hollow. 'Broken so easily? I guess it's not a surprise, emotionally you're as imperfect as anyone.' Eggman thought to himself. He took a step back. 'Easy to see how you could be mistaken for Sonic.' The fact that they looked so similar both infuriated and aroused Robotnik. Infuriated since Sonic had been the wrench in so many plans, and aroused since he could easily imagine the dark hedgehog really was the blue hero.

He picked up a whip, waving it around for a few moments before slashing it across Shadows chest.

The black hedgehog bit his lip.

'Hm… so he's not fully broken after all.' Eggman was about to slash Shadow with the whip when Metal walked in. "What is it?" Eggman asked angrily.

"SONIC THE HEDGEHOG AND MILES PROWER HAVE BROKEN THROUGH THE DEFENCES" Metal stated blandly.

"What?!" Eggman shouted. "Didn't you give Sonic the amnesiac?"

"IT WAS NOT SPECIFIED."

Eggman frowned. "Wasn't it obvious?" He looked at Shadow. "You keep an eye on this. I'll organise the defences." He stalked off to the Control room.

Metal stood by the door, counting. '1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...'

On eleven he heard Eggman's scream of anger, and at thirteen the sound of one of Eggman's robots exploding. A while later, as twenty-two, there were two sets of footsteps coming down the corridor. at twenty-seven the door swung open. Metal stopped his internal timer.

"Shadow?" The first voice was catalogued as Miles Prower.

Sonic didn't say anything, running instead to the dangling hedgehog. "Shads?" He asked worriedly.

The ruby eyes fixed on him, and a spark of hope appeared. "Sonic?" Shadow whispered, as if afraid it was a dream.

"Yeah, it's me. Hang tight for a bit, we'll get you down." Sonic said soothingly. He looked at the cuffs, but Tails interrupted him.

"Just cut through the chains." The fox said, passing Sonic a handheld laser.

Sonic flashed a smile at Tails, before turning back to Shadow and cutting through the four chains holding him up.

Relieved of the restraints, Shadow fell on his hands and knees.

"Lets go." Tails said, walking out the door.

"You okay?" Sonic asked.

Shadow nodded, and followed after Sonic, deliberately ignoring Metal, so as not to draw attention to him.

Metal followed after the two hedgehogs. After all, Eggman had told him to keep an eye on Shadow, not stop him from escaping. 'I LOVE OPEN ORDERS.' the robot thought.


Um, short, but I'm sleepy... and i have school tomorrow...
R+R...

Alrighty. Firstly, I want to apologise for taking so long. Real Life is evil.
Second, thanks to everyone for reviewing.
Thirdly, I think that I might be able to write more of BnK soon...


Tails was instantly on guard. “Do you think that he came after Sonic and Shadow?”

Knuckles nodded, eyes hardening. “Shall we go give him a surprise?” The red echidna didn’t wait for an answer, already gliding towards where he felt the intruder.

Tails started running after Knuckles. Sonic was his friend too.



Sonic lead Shadow to a peaceful glade, helping the black hedgehog into a stream to wash the… gunk from his quills. Said hedgehog smiled gratefully, fully dunking himself under the cold water to wash away all traces of Robotnik.

After scrubbing with sand for a little while, he got out, sitting on a warm rock next to Sonic.

“Feel better?” The blue hedgehog asked tactfully.

Shadow nodded silently, revelling in the feel of the wind and sun. It was the first time he had ever been able to savour a moment like this.

“Nice isn’t it?” Green eyes shot at him.

“Yeah.” Shadow closed his eyes, raising his face so the sunlight fell on it through a gap in the trees. “So warm…” He murmured delightedly.

It was Sonic’s turn to nod silently. Why did he have the feeling that there was a second meaning to those words? ‘It’s now or never…’ He thought to himself, looking at Shadow’s relaxed form. “How’d I get away from Eggman?”

Shadow stiffened, body tensing and getting ready to flee. “It isn’t important.” He said in a ‘drop it now’ tone of voice.

“It may not be to you, but Eggman is my enemy. He wouldn’t just let me go.”

Shadow smiled ruefully, and turned his face from the sun. “Is it that important to you?”

Sonic nodded with bated breath. Considering the way Shadow was acting, it would no doubt be a major revelation. “I deserve to know.” As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew it was the wrong thing to say.

“Deserve to know?” The black hedgehogs voice was angry. “Someone like you doesn’t ‘deserve to know’.”

“Shadow” Sonic raised his hands placatingly. “Just tell me what happened.”

Shadow shook his head dumbly, fire and energy draining from his person.

The blue hedgehog growled, frustrated by the others resolve. He turned to face Shadow, and, grabbing the black hedgehogs shoulders, spun him round so their eyes could meet. “Tell me Shadow.” Sonic said gently.

Shadow tried to avert his crimson eyes, but Sonic shook him. “Tell me.” The azure hedgehog repeated, nose to nose with Shadow.

Shadow closed his eyes. The blue hero shouldn’t have to live with this, but he couldn’t hold it in. if left, such feelings would fester, be transformed into bitterness and hatred, like before. “For you…” He whispered, eyes still shut. “I would do anything.”

Sonic blinked. What did Shadow mean when he said he would do…? ‘No… no he couldn’t have.’ Sonic’s mind tried desperately to dispel the thoughts, but there was no other alternative. The blue hedgehog blanched, hands relaxing on Shadow’s shoulders, eyes glazing in shock. “You couldn’t have… You wouldn’t…” Sonic muttered. He turned pain stricken eyes to Shadow. “Why?” He breathed.

“Because he would have killed you.” Shadow had opened his eyes, but was gazing into the brook. “The world needs you Sonic.” ‘I need you.’ He thought.

The blue hedgehog was dumbstruck. “But… I let you fall…”

“The world needs you, not some cheap copy. And at least this way I got some freedom for a while.”

Sonic gazed piercingly at Shadow. “You willingly gave up your chance at freedom for me?”

“You would have, and did do so for me.”

Sonic smiled sadly, overcome. His once rival had done so much for him. Who would have thought the two would be so similar? “Thanks.” He murmured, before yawning widely.

“Doo itashimashite.” Shadow replied, lying back on the rock. “Good night.”

“Mm…” Sonic’s eyes closed. “Night Shads…” He laid down next to Shadow , before falling into warm oblivion.


Short I know, but RL is, like I said, evil...

:looks excited: guess what? this is the last chapter. I actually finished a story. V^/_^V :glomps all readers: thanks for helping me get over writers block....


A brisk breeze blew through the clearing, causing both hedgehogs to shiver. Still asleep, Sonic moved closer to Shadow, and threw his leg over the black hedgehog’s hip. Said hedgehog snuggled unconsciously into the possessive grasp, content to be held.


Tails dragged his hand over his forehead, leaving a smear of dark oil in his fur. “That should do it.” He muttered quietly.

Knuckles poked his head in the door, taking in Tails and the pile of blue Metal on the table. “You done?” He asked, gesturing to Metal.

Tails nodded. “He should be reactivated in a few minutes.” The young fox pulled a face. “I don’t suppose you have some soap and hot water?”

“Are you implying I’m a savage?” Knuckles asked haughtily. “Over here.” He led the small fox to a sink. “I do have modern amenities yanno.

The fox smiled cheekily. “Well you are a bit rough looking.”

Knuckles was affronted. “Well I never!” He was about to add another comment, when there was a whirring sound, and some clicks from the table.

“Metal!” Tails said excitedly. “Do you feel any different?”

The robot paused. “IT WAS REMOVED?”

“Yep.” Tails beamed. “It wasn’t very hard either. Eggman has no subtlety.”

“THANK YOU.” Metal said. “YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO HELP ME.”

“Its fine. Anything that annoys Eggman is worth the time. And we are heroes. You deserve freedom.”

Knuckles nodded. “Hey… where’s Sonic?”


“Aw…” Tails sighed happily. Sonic and Shadow looked so cute. Even if they were lying on top of each other.

‘I hope now that Sonic has found Shadow he’ll take it easy…’ Tails thought worriedly. ‘He has been pushing himself too hard lately…’

Knuckles smirked. ‘Tails is so innocent, he thinks bluey was just worried over Shadow…’

“Sonic.” The red echidna muttered. “What are you going to tell Amy?”

Metal felt… proud. ‘I HELPED THGESE TWO… WAITASEC – FEELINGS?’ He froze. ‘WHY CAN I FEEL EMOTION?’

“LETS LEAVE THEM BE” Metal said quietly. “THEY LOOK HAPPY…”


Aw, fluff. V^/_^V
So whattya think? Okay? Bad? Sequel? :sweatdrops:
Well, review if ya have the time... :cracks knuckles: now i hae to work on BnK...
