Movie Sonadow: [1] A Star Missing

Sonic's POV

It's been a few weeks since that day. Since him.

I'm trying to fall asleep, but it won't leave me alone - the talk we had. With that hedgehog, Shadow. I mean, it's pretty tough not to remember - it literally happened on the moon. Thaat I punched him to. I'll be honest, I did not know that was possible, I was surprised too when I suddenly skedaddled into space like that.

I feel bad about it, though. I mean, sure, Shadow was literally trying to wipe out humanity, but still... I let my anger get the better of me. And it wasn't just the anger I felt when Tom got hurt. It was the anger I felt when Longclaw was taken from me. It was the anger I felt during those years of being isolated and alone.

I suppressed it all for too long. It came out in a punch that sent a hedgehog to space. Real healthy, Sonic. Next time, I'll... I dunno, suppress it better.

That's probably fine.

I sigh, pulling the blanket over my head. Every day, I pretended it didn't affect me. But at night, alone with the soft glow of my fairy lights, I couldn't stop my thoughts from flowing.

And they all kept coming back to Shadow. I suppose I... I wish I could've saved him. I wish he didn't have to do that. I wish I was there to help prevent it.

I reach for the flashlight on my nightstand and bring it under the covers, clicking it on. It's comforting somehow, the small, steady beam. I think of that moment-the sunrise after the fight, when we sat there, side by side.

I looked at him. I couldn't stop looking at him.

There was something peaceful about the way he stared at the horizon, like he'd finally found a moment of calm in all the chaos. His quills caught the light, his crimson eyes reflecting the fading stars, and there was this faint, subtle smile. And I realized how much we really weren't so different. All in all... the view was majestic.

"The light shines, even though the star is gone."

I keep thinking of those words.

Shadow... he was a star. And if no one else will remember his light, I will. It deserves to shine on, just like Longclaw's.

Who I also... failed to save.

...

Damn it...

I clutch the flashlight as I feel tears forming.

"Just go away, just stop-stop, stop, please just-" I whisper as I bury my face into the pillow. I close my eyes, trying to redirect my thoughts to something else. They settle on that sunrise with Shadow again- And I slowly calmed down. Enough to finally fall asleep.

As my breathing slows and my grip on the flashlight loosens, my last thought is Shadow's faint smile, the sun casting a golden glow over us both.

Includes spoilers, just a warning! After the events of Sonic 3, the blue blur secretly still mourns Shadow, though he tries not to show it.

"Goodnight, Shadow"

Emerald Promise: Chapter 1

Shadow's POV

They promise me she's alive.

I know it's just words - might as well be lies, since no real evidence has yet been presented to me. But I still can not dismiss it so easily.

I know what happened - I saw it. And I keep seeing it, be it in my dreams or just memories.

I saw her die.

I still can't wrap my head around her words. 

"Live, Shadow. Be happy."

Was I not happy? I was alive—truly alive—when you were there with me. Watching the stars, feeling the vastness of it all, with my best friend beside me. Now... everything feels hollow.

"Sayonara, Shadow... the Hedgehog"

I'd be better off dying that day instead.

"What do you think it's like on Earth?"

There was never any life outside of the ARK for me. My purpose, my entire reason for existing, healing her- ended as soon as the station got destroyed -

But. They promise me she is still alive. Maybe she really did survive that bullet? Maybe they'll let me see her. Maybe everything will be like it was before. I can hug her and say how I missed her. How glad I am that she's alright, that at least she is alright. How I wish it had been me instead. I failed you. Over and over, I failed.

And failed.

And failed.

And failed.

We can read those astronomy books before bed again. It's difficult to fall asleep without. That's the reason I'm still up right now.

I give up on sleep, turning to stare at the wall. Rest won't come, and if it does, the nightmares will follow. They always do. Too real, too vivid. Though since they are a mere replay of the event, I imagine that is to be expected. I'd prefer not to face those.

I sigh and then turn to almost fully hide my face in the pillow. It wasn't very soft, only barely, but it didn't bother me that much. The bed itself was much smaller than the one I had on the ARK. I can't believe it was just a few weeks ago that I last woke up on it.

A few weeks...

The soft hiss of the opening doors broke through my thoughts. I sat up quickly, glancing at the entrance, already certain who it would be.

"Project Shadow,"

I remained quiet, waiting for the commander to continue. That, and I resented the name he'd use for me. That I'd keep hearing these days. I knew it was technically correct, but back on the ARK, no one called me that. It felt foreign, unnatural.

Regarding not being accustomed to things - Not being around Maria in so long did not feel... right. Even when she'd be bedridden - when her sickness made her too weak to walk around and explain astronomy - I stayed by her side. I always had.

"I would like to discuss something with you."

Lost in spiralling thoughts, it felt as though I were sinking into a cold, raging sea. The commander's voice was a sharp tether, pulling me back to the surface. I gathered myself and prepared to speak.

"What is it?" I snapped, sitting up straighter, wary of his intentions. No matter what, I did not trust a single individual I encountered here. Let alone him.

"After careful consideration, we've decided to grant you more freedom. You'll be allowed to move around the facility - and, in time, even leave GUN grounds."

"..." I didn't reply, sensing there was a follow up to that statement, something that would justify the sudden freedom that was being offered to me on a plate. He must have seen through my silence, quickly furrowing his eyes in what I can only guess was irritation before continuing.

"On one condition: you accept a mission."

"You want me to work- for you?"

"For GUN. For humanity. For the safety of the planet. Call it what you like. But we both know those aren't your priorities. You want something else—don't you? Or am I mistaken? Perhaps you don't care for her after all."

"You—" I bit back my words, forcing myself to stay calm. I couldn't risk angering him, not with so much at stake.

Staring at the floor, I relented. "What do you need me to do?"

Shadow is forced into GUN's service with the promise that Maria is still alive. During one of his missions, the agent meets Sonic, who's see
