CHAPTER 1

Silver's P.O.V.

I really couldn't tell you what happened..
Everything started going wrong; I've started feeling odder than normal, people have started coming after me for no reason I am aware of, and my powers have been failing. I don't understand what it is...but whatever the reason, it somehow has wound me up captured by Dr. Robotnik in his near-frozen, snow blanketed base, White Acropolis. My hands and feet are bound by these bulky, black machines. They have embossed tubes that glow the same colour as my telekinesis; I cannot tell if it's draining what little power I have left, if it's just the glow from myself in the hollow bonds, or if it is just mere coincidence. I cannot even move; the mechanical shackles crawl all of the way up to my knees and elbows, uncomfortably pulling my limbs in different directions. I'm so exhausted, I don't even WANT to move...Robotnik's heavy metal holding cell sends who knows how many volts coursing through my veins every time I even try to use my powers...he obviously put a lot of effort into creating it. It was definitely made for me.
All I can do now is let my head hang like an exhausted mutt while Dr. Robotnik chatters on and on, worsening my headache…

Shadow P.O.V.
Things have been very calm lately; no major crimes committed, no monsters running loose, and no mentally insane scientists/demons seeking world domination. Nothing too big was going on…until today. I was walking around New Town when I saw Sonic and the others standing around in what seemed to be an anxious crowd. I walked over to see what was up.
"What's going on?"
Sonic's brow was furrowed and he seemed troubled.
"Eggman has taken Silver."
Although the expression on my face did not reveal so, I was shocked. Silver seems to me like someone who could hold his own in a struggle, especially against Eggman...something must be up.
Tails chimed in, "It appears that Silver is being targeted by many power-hungry parties."
I raised an eyebrow. "Such as?"
"Eggman, Mephiles, even GUN are looking for him. Whatever he did or is supposed to do, he isn't safe anywhere."
Sonic interrupted and flashed a halfhearted smile, "Except with us." He held a thumbs up. He appeared to be attempting to conceal his stress and worry, although I of course could see it in his eyes.
I unfolded my arms and shifted my feet. "Where is Robotnik's base located?"
Tails held up a radar screen in front of me. "It's his base White Acropolis, the same one he held Elise at."
Sonic shifted his feet. "We really need to destroy that place…"
I took out my signature green Chaos Emerald and faced the two. "I'll be back soon." And with that, I was gone.

Silver P.O.V.
"Agghhhh!!!!" I yelled out in agonizing pain as the electricity traveled harshly and mercilessly throughout my body.
"You really should relax, you're not going anywhere, hedgehog." Dr. Robotnik then slowly walked out of the cell he held me in, after he finished his torturous rant. He shut the sliding electric metal door behind him with a loud "dun."
I hung my head heavily, trying to fall to the floor but unable to as my arms were securely fastened to the machine above me. I breathed hard in and out, trying to recover, but between the shocks and the gradual loss of my powers, I was hopeless…
That was, until the door opened.
His footsteps were light and metallic on the base floors. I couldn't even lift my head up, but I knew exactly who it was by his shoes; those unique jet-abled red white and black sneakers.

Shadow P.O.V.
I used a slight Chaos Spear to the bindings on his arms and legs, and I watched them easily fall apart piece by piece. The white fluff of a hedgehog immediately collapsed into my arms, and it took more of my strength to hold him up than I thought I would need; he really can't hold himself at all.
"Come here..." I forced him to stand up, and put his left arm around my shoulder. I slid my right arm about his waist. "We're going to get you out of here." I entered the override code into the door panel to get through. This was going to be difficult…
***
After careful corners and avoiding armed Eggman robots, we finally reached the outside of the cell block, which luckily was about one hundred feet from a giant archway that led the way out.
Silver groaned and shook his head. "Ughh..what..?"
I ignored his groaning as the siren began to roar. I shot looks around quickly to observe thousands of robots suddenly blocking the path between us and the archway, which was now starting to shut from either side.
Eggman's voice came over the intercom, "Don't even try to get away Shadow, give him back and maybe I'll let you go."
I ignored his threat, and then faced Silver. He looked up at me weakly. 'He's in no shape to even walk, let alone sprint...' I eyed him up and down. "Hang on."
"Wha-? Shadow?!" He was wide awake now as I lifted him off of the ground bridal style. This is the only way of making it, there's no way his body could handle a Chaos Control.
In a flash I was off, full speed towards the archway.

Silver P.O.V.
"Agh!!" I gripped Shadow tightly with what little strength I had, my tired mind getting dizzy by the blurry surroundings passing me by. He destroyed countless robots in seconds while on the way to the archway, jumping and maneuvering through the air to get us there before the door shuts. I closed my eyes and buried my face in his chest to possibly prevent even more pain to my aching head. I gripped his shoulder even tighter, trying to relieve some tension, anxiety, fear, heck maybe all of the above.
I could have sworn I would fall out of his arms a few times, but he never let me go.

Shadow P.O.V.
I have to make it, I have to. Both of our lives are on the line here, I can't afford not to. The door was almost shut and I was less than 20 feet away, when I smashed straight through one final cheaply made robot, and then forced my way straight between the remaining couple of feet of room.
Out, finally.
I glided smoothly across the snow-blanketed outside of White Acropolis, not stopping for a second. I could feel Silver shift in my arms. He spoke softly,
"Shadow, what are you doing?"
I paused. "I'm saving you're life, what does it look like I'm doing?"
"You're going too fast...it's," he paused as if trying to gain enough energy to speak, "making me sick, and dizzy..."
I ignored his plea. "We're not stopping nor slowing down until we are a good COUNTRY away from this place; you're not safe."

Silver P.O.V.
The glowing ring of energy imprinted on my hands started to flicker and fade. "I know..." Completely drained, I gave in, and closed my eyes and fell asleep in his chest fur…
