It all started with an experiment and a minor battle with Eggman.
That's all that Shadow remembered. There was Sonic, a muffled yell came from his mouth, a look of fear in his eyes, desperately warning the confused but ticked off ebony hedgehog.
Shadow turned around. A mech had caught him off guard and sprayed one of Eggman’s experiments, a pinkish substance in the eyes. He remembered the sound of screams. Was it him? He rubbed his eyes, stumbled back and continued to cry out. He hit his shoulder against the wall next to him, trying to subdued the pain. It felt like acid had been pour in his eyes. But no matter how painful it was, he didn't cry.
Blood ran down his eye lidges, down his cheek, from the scabs that came from the harsh rubbing and the burn marks under his eyes were blueish-purple.
He felt himself collapse from the pain, the azure hedgehog rushed to his side and caught his, also to see the sight up close. The blood oozing down the onyx hedgehog's face as well as the blue-purple color of his scabs made the blur blur resist the urge to gag.
“Shadow… my gosh. Are you good, Shads?” Sonic held the weak ebony hedgehog in his arms.
Shadow, his eyes still closed in tremendous pain, acted as if he had only skinned his knee, dismissed the question, “Where’s the Doctor?”
The azure one quickly said, “He ran off…”
Shadow snarled, “Goddamn coward.” He winced from the throbbing pain in his face.
The azure hedgehog helped up the onyx one, “Do you have a Chaos Emerald on ya? Or did you come unprepared?” The blue blur tried to lighten the mood.
If he wasn't in so much pain, Shadow would have grumbled back a snarky remark. The ebony bio-hog stumbled a bit and slurred, “I… I think… so…”
Shadow remembered the azure hedgehog carrying him… somewhere. The warm feeling in his chest, remembering being in the blue ones arms… Next thing he knew, he was unconscious.
