Shadow's P.O.V
So here I am waiting to see someone about finding one of the Chaos Emeralds, the green one. To be honest, that one is my favorite of all of them. It reminded me of Rose, her beautiful, neon, gorgeo- What am I thinking?! Stay focused on the mission that you were assigned to.

"Hey there, faker." I hear a voice say behind me. I turn around and see the faker and his friends. Behind him is the kitsune and the echdina looking alitte serious. Wait, why are they doing here anyways? "What are you doing here faker?" I ask a little annoyed. "We're here to make a deal with you." The kitsune says to me. Oh great! I made a deal with these guys. How rich. "We want to make of official." the echidna says. "Make what official?" "You being one of us." Faker says with a some what goofy look on his face. "What do you mean?" I confusedly asked him.
"Well what does it sound like?!" The echidna says aggravated, I think he was arguing with Rouge again. No wonder he's grumpy. "We were all talking, and decided that we should hold an offer for you to join us." Faker explains. "What do you mean; join you? I'm already living with you guys, isn't that enough?" "Well yes and no, you kinda proved yourself when you were living with us and even if you say no, the offer will still stand." The kitsune explains to me.

"AHHHHHHHH" We hear a very familiar voice. "Amy!" Faker and the others yell. But I'm not paying attention, because I'm already rushing to save the beautiful Rose. STOP IT SHADOW! THIS NOT THE TIME TO BE FANTASIZING ABOUT ROSE! When I get to the battle field, I see a battered up Rose and I am REALLY PISSED. As I pick her up, I hear a malicious laugh behind me "MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" and I see a literal shadow coming towards us. For a moment I believe he is Mephiles... but I can tell it's not him, he seems more vile than him. But enough of this bastard. I thought. I've got to get my Rose to an infirmary, and quick! I picked her up and I start to leave. "So, you're The Ultimate Life Form? I've heard stories about you and you look even weaker than I thought, who would've known that the "Ultimate Life Form" would actually care for such a pathetic being?" As he says that I know that he's talking about my Rose. "S-Shadow" Rose says very weakly. Rose...

Amy's P.O.V
I can't believe this! This new guy beats me until I can't breathe, tells me how HE wants to take over the world and then has a chitchat with Shadow?! I wonder what their talking about, I hear that douche talking briefly, but barely. "S-Shadow" I weakly call out. He looks at me with his beautiful, red ruby eyes with concern, worry, and doubt. "Amy! Shadow!" Is that Tails I hear? Yep it's him, and Sonic and Knuckles. Suddenly feel myself being moved from Shadow to Knuckles and later on to the Tornado. I didn't know how warm Shadow was until he handed me over, but I couldn't help but feel a little uncertainty as he did Shadow...
Shadow's P.O.V
I watched as the Fox and the echidna took Rose away for recovery, while Faker and I tried to hold our new adversary back. For some reason he was after Rose. "STAY AWAY FROM HER!!!!!!" I yell as I punch him square in the face. Wait, did I punch A shadow in the face?! "Hmmm.... You fight well hedgehog, but let's see if you can handle my attack." He says, but before he could do anything, Faker got him with a spin dash attack. "Don't tell me you forgot about me! And don't expect that I'm gonna hold back, you hurt Amy, and for that you're going to pay dearly." He explains " Oh right you exist. "The Fastest Thing Alive" Sonic the Hedgehog I presume?" "Got that right bud- AHHHHHH" Faker didn't even get the chance to finish his sentence! "You know... I have been told that you two are quite the team when given time, I'll give you six years prior to our next battle. Until then, everything here is MINE!!!!" He explained. Six years?!?!?! How strong is this guy?! I thought to myself, oh well... I can hardly breathe so maybe... "Wait, what's your name anyways?" Faker asks him before we take our leave. "Z" He answers.
