Fatigue [Sonadow]

Fragments (P4)

"What?" Shadow is very, very confused right now, "Sonic, we have no time for your nonsense, we have to go." He stood up and turn around to leave.

Noticing Sonic didn't follow him, he turned to glared at the hedgehog, "Now."

"Alright alright, ugh, buzz kill." Sonic muttered the last two words under his breath as he walked behind Shadow.

The sound of the exciting crowd is fading away, in turn, crickets singing and frogs' croaks starting to fill their ears. They both walked in silence, nothing were said between those two.

Shadow felt uneasy with the awfully quiet Sonic, doesn't seem like him at all. Even though he, himself wouldn't like to have Sonic blabbering all the time, but he can feel something's is up, somehow.

And, another part of him, he feel kinda bad for ruining Sonic's mood.

He was being nice and all, maybe I shouldn't be so direct to show no interest in wasting time with him.

"Sonic," He called out, "if you really want to go to the festive, you can have your time after we have our matters settle."

"This is, priority."

Sonic stunned for a moment, and then he giggled, "Are you trying to apologize?"

"..."

Sonic quickened his footsteps to catch up and walked alongside him, "I take it as a yes, and apology accepted."

Shadow casually shoved off Sonic's arm that was around his neck, "Stop your winking."

"Why?"

"I don't like it."

"Meh, your problem."

Not long after, the night wind became stronger. They stood at the end of the cliff, looking at the wasted pit at below.

"We're here." Shadow said.

"We're where?" Sonic questioned.

"The place where I freed Mephiles."

Little did Shadow know, Sonic froze. He glanced towards the other side, like he's looking at something.

The last piece must be around here, wait, something's coming from be-

At his instinct, he was about to chaos control and teleport away by the time he turned around, but he felt a pressure to command such powers and his ability has failed to come to aid.

So, right on his chest, a familiar spear of energy pierced through his body. Shadow let out a gasp of pain.

Something is draining all my powers.

"Gah...Mephiles!" Despite being impaled, he still managed to called out that darned weird liquid alien's name.

His vision started to blur. Soon, he will be unconscious and Sonic would probably tried to fight Mephiles alone.

Sonic needs to get back to the headquarters and reports the situation.

As he tried to tell Sonic that, Sonic was nowhere to be found.

Where the hell is Sonic?
