Stranded (Sonadow)

Sonic's Point of View

In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, I was submerged under the water, swaying my arms up in the surface for something to grab on.

I gasped for air, hugging a floating broken part of the plane that we were just on.

I see Shadow unconscious filled with burns on his skin, floating on the water.

"Shadow!" I paddled closer to him immediately and put him over the floating broken piece of the plane.

Shadows left leg looked bad.. its bleeding all over, even his right arm is messed up!

It hurts to see him like this.

We need to get to land.. not like this in the ocean, too bad I never learned how to swim..

A large piece of cloth conveniently floated behind me, I took it and wrapped Shadows wounds to atleast stop the bleeding after squeezing the sea water off it.

I looked around the horizon, spotting no land. Oh boy.. we are doomed.

After paddling with nothing but my sore body while holding on the broken piece of the plane for hours, I finally found land. Thank chaos the oceans waves directed me in this direction.

I glanced over at the terribly wounded unconscious hedgehog placed on the broken piece I was holding on to.

I only got off with burns and bruises, Shadow looks so awful.. but he did shield me from the explosions.. why?

I shook my head and focused on paddling towards the island in sight. It looked uninhabited judging from the absurd amount of viney trees beyond the shore.

After a while, I had finally paddled on the shore of the island, carrying Shadow carefully on my back whom is still unconscious under a shade of a tree.

He is in a sitting position, leaning his back against the tree.

I looked around the area for a stick to support Shadows broken leg and arm, I found some sturdy ones and attached it to him, ripping my gloves so I could use it as a tie.

I slightly shook Shadow's shoulders. "Shadow? Wake up! You've been out cold for hours now!" My voice trembled.

Tears were forming in the corner of my eyes, till he slowly opens his.

"Oh, Shadow! Thank chaos! I really thought you wouldn't wake up."

I quickly wiped the tears before they fell.

"Ugh.. Sonic, where are we?" He flinches from the pain all over his body.

"We are on an island, I am not sure if its inhabited."

Shadow looks at his own wounds that I just patched up and looks at me from top to bottom.. and that's kind of weird but okay.

"..thanks." Shadow sighs, getting up from the ground with the help of the tree.

"Alright, because of your mischief," Shadow glared at me with those piercing crimson eyes, "we lost the chemicals and we are in a unknown island."

My ears droop flat on my head. "And got you injured.." I looked away with guilt in my eyes.

"Yes, and got me-" Shadow stopped speaking once he noticed my grim expression.

Shadow scratched the back of his head with his unbroken arm. "..I suppose its not that bad, I can still teleport us away with chaos control."

Shadow glanced around the area.

"Where.. is it?"

"Where is what?"

"..."

Why is he glaring at me like that?

"You absolute fool. Dont tell me you didnt even think about retrieving the damn chaos emerald?!" He snapped.

The chaos emerald! Why didn't I think of that!?

"Ugh.." Shadow placed his left hand on his face, facepalming.

"I suppose we will just have to wait. I am certain Tails and the others would notice your disappearance. I guess G.U.N would too for me though." Shadow rolled his eyes.

Shadow walked deeper in the woods. "For now, lets start looking for water and food."
