The full moon shone very brightly in a set of amber red eyes as a shadow walked in the trees, taking in the moon light for what felt like might be his last time. *sigh* a thought flies in his head. Why am I so tired all of a sudden? He shook his head, then shouted "Chaos Control!" disappearing in a flash of green.
The next morning, the same hedgehog woke up and ran out side at the sound of shouting and screams. What is going on?! Shadow thought as he grabbed his gun and bolted out the front door, and was greeted by a horrific sight. Body's layer on the ground, and blood was spilled everywhere. The black and red hedgehogs eyes widen and he looked on in shock. My God.....what happened? He walked through the bodys, then reached a clearing where Mobians and humans were fighting, some of the Mobians fighting with the humans to go against the Mobians that were being controlled by Shadow's creator's grandson, Doctor Ivo Robotnick, aka Dr. Eggman. Shadow sped up and jumped into the fight, trying to break some of the mobians free of their trance. Suddenly, he felt a sharp amount of painful pain from his abdomen and he looked down, and saw a blade sticking out, and there was a familiar blue hedgehog standing there, holding a katana, his normally emerald green eyes now a dull lime green, blood covering him and the blade. Shadow pushed the blade out and turned, and attempted to shoot Sonic, but failed and instead hit him in the shoulder with the bullet, and then Shadow fell to the ground, and immediately pasted out from the blood loss.
A week after that battle, Shadow and Sonic both woke up in the same hospital, both covered in bandages. Sonic sat up and looked at Shadow, at first confused, then remembers. "Shadow." He gets up and takes the older hedgehogs hand, and feels it feel very cold. "Sonic.....I don't have much time..." "What do you mean?" The azure hedgehog was confused. "Faker...I'm dying." Sonic felt his heart drop. I....I killed Shadow! Shadow saw panic and sadness in the younger hedgehogs eyes, and he reached up and cupped Sonic's cheek. "I'm fine for now... But I may die within the next few days, bur even I don't fully know." "I will help you. I don't want to feel like I'm useless for doing nothing when I y killed y-you, sorta."
Shadow finally gained his strength back, and Sonic left with him and they went back home. For the next two days, Sonic cared for Shadow. One day, a week and four days after the battle, Shadow woke up and knew. It's time.... He got up slowly and grabbed his Chaos emerald, and put it in Sonic's room next to his bedstand. "Goodbye....my brother.." Shadow had always thought of Sonic as a brother, but never told him. Shadow sped outside into the cold air, feeling nothing but relief. "Maria......are you there? I'm ready." Shadow then withoose words, fell to the ground and layed there for a few more minutes, then closed his eye, tears falling and sighed, the breath leaving his body, and his heart stopped. Later that day, Sonic went outside and found Shadow's body, and he sscreamedhis name, but it was too late. Shadow had died, and he had died in peace and happy.
