It happened all so fast, that even the black hedgehog found himself overwhelmed by the chain of events. Sonic had spouted about a great plan he had cooked up in a minute and thirty seconds and that Shadow needed to follow his lead. Normally, Shadow would have disagreed but time was of the essence and if Sonic had something solid then he’d just have to trust the other to get it done right.
They had accomplished the goal, but the after effects weren’t something either hedgehogs had really anticipated. The Egg carrier blew up without a hitch, but as they jumped from metal debris to the next, something caught Sonic causing his projected jump to miss.
❛ SONIC. ❜ without even realizing it, the black hedgehog had screamed out the other’s name. Air jets propelling him from metal frame to metal frame as he descended down. He could see the other hedgehog attempt to correct his course and catch himself onto another piece of the crumbling ship. As something sailed down past him, covering his view for a brief second, the form of the blue hedgehog was no longer moving. Limp in the air as it continued down in its coarse for the ground below.
Panic kicked into overdrive as ruby eyes widened. Shadow shot down like a rocket from piece to piece before having to abandon that endeavor to just sail right down through the air. He positioned his body like a spear, keeping his arms close to his side to gain enough speed to catch up to the other. As he came closer, he spread his limbs apart to increase his surface area to keep in line with the speed of the other hog. With Sonic’s body all limp, his form just turned and turned making it difficult to latch onto him. Shadow reached out to grab at his wrist, only to miss as the other moved away.
Ruby eyes looked down, the amount of time for him to catch the other already decreasing the further they went down. Gritting his teeth, Shadow used his jets on his shoes to propel himself right at the blue hog. Arms spread out to latch onto the other and pull them close. He could hear the other beginning to stir, making groggy sounds as he called his name, but Shadow’s eyes were focused now on the ground coming closer and closer.
Even if he used his jets to slow their speed down, it wouldn’t be enough. Their bodies would just splat right onto the ground and that would be the end of Sonic the Hedgehog. Chaos Control wouldn’t work either with the momentum their bodies were going at, it’s just like the other scenario all over again. Gripping onto Sonic’s arm tightly, he pulled the other on top as Shadow shifted to be the one closer to ground. Arms wrapped around the other, holding them firmly in their grip as hands began working to remove the inhibitor rings off. The gold rings lit up as they unfastened from the transgenic hedgehog’s wrist and rose into the air to trail behind them. A surge of gold light beginning to bath both of their bodies, but more specifically Sonic’s.
The resistance and complaints fell on deaf ears as Shadow’s body hit right into the ground. Everything going black.
