Forgotten Lovers (Sonadow)

Chapter 2

Sonic and Shadow immediately got up and raced to Maria's room. Sonic entered her room and saw her up and wide awake with a scared look on her face. Sonic grabbed Maria's hand and Shadow looked around to the perimeter.

Shadow's ears perked up when he heard the voice of Maria's grandfather- Gerald Robotnik.

"Is my granddaughter with you?! Where's Sonic?!" Maria's grandfather clearly had much concern in his voice as gunshots were heard at the back.

"Yes, sir. She is with us safe and sound. Sonic is also present."  Shadow replied as they all started to move to a safer room.

"Thank goodness, you must listen carefully Shadow! G.U.N. soldiers are here and are ready to kill anyone at sight!There is a location at the back of the ship near the Control Room right after the catwalks and there is a secret, old but manageable pod! It should be enough for three of you! There should be a helmet for Maria so you all can go to Earth! Quickly! Maria should know this!" Maria's grandfather instructed carefully at them and the connection quickly began to static.

Sonic and Shadow didn't waste any time as they all began to head to where the pod was. Shadow held Sonic's hand out of instinct. Sonic's cheeks were red but he tried to focus.

Then a few G.U.N soldiers saw them and began to fire at them, Sonic and Shadow quickly took care of them by knocking them out while being curled at a ball and launching at them which the impact is strong enough to make them unconscious. After that, they began to continue.

After a while and tons of running, they saw the pod being covered with a shelf of cloths which made it blend. Maria pushed the shelf and opened up the pod.  It was quite dusty but it was the nearest to them, but thank God Maria got to make it up and running.

Shadow first went inside to check for anything dangerous and gestured Sonic and Maria to follow.

But... Before we could react, Maria was shot down and everything happened too fast, and when Shadow was about to get out of the pod to go to Maria, she then pushed Sonic making them knock back and got stuffed at the pod.

"CLOSE IT!!" Maria shouted desperately as G.U.N soldiers were closing it.
Sonic had no choice but to hit the launch button and Shadow pushed him off but it was too late as he already pushed the button.

"NO! MARIA!!" Shadow banged on the window countlessly. His ears pinned down and tears were running down his muzzle and he had sharp breaths.

He couldn't believe it... Maria died In front of his very own eyes... How could this have happened? He wiped his tears but more were still streaming down his eyes. He got up and looked over his shoulder to see Sonic still looking at the Ark through the window. With his ears pinned down at the back of his head and he has wet cheeks. Sonic was still processing on when Maria pushed him to save both Shadow and him. Sonic glanced at Shadow and saw Shadow was still crying. Sonic opened up his arms which Shadow gladly accepted and they both calmed down together.

But they both heard ships and something shot down the pod! The damage wasn't too serious but it did leave a dent on the pod. This pod was very durable. Sonic looked at the window and saw ships going after them. Then before they knew it, the pod was shaking violently because the ship launched a grabber on the pod to close in distance.

Sonic immediately took action and left Shadow for a brief seconds. Sonic launched himself as a ball and made impact with the ships window. Attacking anyone on board. Shadow was suppose to jump in, but felt the pod calming down as Sonic released the pod. Sonic then came back while panting.

"Ahh shit... I might have... Huff... Have a shot on my leg..." Sonic stated and looked at Shadow with a faint smile. Shadow wasn't comforted at all and looked all over the pod and saw a med kit

"You should've been more careful! Chaos, what have we gotten ourselves into?" Shadow was panicking as he healed the wounds of the azure hedgehog whilst having shaking hands. Sonic winced at the pain and looked up to Shadow who was dead focus on his wound. Sonic's ears were folded down and when Shadow finished patching up the wound, Sonic grabbed his hand and looked at Shadow with a reassuring smile.

"It's alright Shadow... We're going to be alright..." Sonic said with a calm tone, not trying to pressure the ebony hedgehog.

Shadow took a deep breath and exhales. And looked at Sonic
"Thank you Sonic..." Shadow said as he had a relaxed tone. Both of they're cheeks were red and both of them were now calm.

But, the monitor of the pod had a hazard warning to it, showing us a red sign and saying " Severe damage on board." Over and over again.
The pod was shaking violently as it began to heat up and the pod was moving at a very scary pace.
Holy shit, they're crashing!

Both of them held on to what's sturdy and prepared for impact.
But the landing was so rough, it made both of them unconscious.

When Shadow woke up and saw he was alone, he was surrounded with blinding lights and everything was blurry.
Sonic was nowhere to be seen and only saw a few people who looked like doctors.

"Where's... Sonic...?" Shadow's voice was hoarse as he tried to move his head around to check the room, but suddenly his vision begin to fade. And he then passed out.
