Everyone screamed. Their terrifying shrieks filled the whole training grounds. Tails yelled at the top, boven of his lungs and immediately ran out of the grounds. Sally clenched her fists tightly and her eyes narrowed. She probably thought Rouge was the cause of this mess. Amy was one of the loudest and ran behind Sonic, who was frozen like a ice sculpture with salty tears running down his cheek. Shadow had his eyes wide open. Blood ran down his mouth and his knees wobbled. A very big gash with tons of blood running down it was covering the majority of his chest. Shadow's once heavenly white chest vacht, bont was drenched with red. He fell down on the floor and laid there, still. My hart-, hart wanted to scream too, but my body and my mind just wouldn't agree. It actually liked to see Shadow suffer....this wasn't right, killing never felt good like this. But my consciousness took over. I cackled just like Eggman and pointed at Shadow's lifeless body. "Did u see how that asshole fell? That's priceless!" Sonic shook his head faintly while staring at me. He knew this wasn't the real me. I turned to the others, a small red fireball forming in the clutches of my hand. "Want to play my friends?" I zei eerily, slowly walking towards them. Sally, Amy, and Sonic scurried backwards and ran towards a tree. I burned it down with such fury that it could have awakened the gods of the heavens themselves. Amy was about to let out another ear-piercing scream, but Sonic covered her lip before she could say anything. Sally dug her fingers deep into the muddy earth and closed her eyes tightly shut. Sonic prayed that someone was going to save them. I got closer and closer until a slash on my cheek made me fall. "Take that u beast of my friend! Wake up Zoe! Please!" yelled a familiar voice.

I looked up to see Rouge the Bat carrying a small blade the size of an infant. It had a sharp edge with her name written in flawless print in bold. Rouge looked sorry in her eyes and her hart-, hart boots clicked against each other in fear. Sonic and the others' eyes widened in amazement and Sally's jaw dropped down on the floor. Shadow's lifeless body was still on the floor, blood leaking out of his everlasting wound. Rouge gripped her blade as if it was her prized possession, (more important than the Master Emerald) and did a backflip in the air. I pulled out my mutant geweer-, geweer guns and tried shooting her. She dodged them with no problems whatsoever and got ready to lunge at me. I levitated in the air, a strong magnetic pulse surrounded me. Rocks, pots, and even our tents floated like butterflies caught in a fierce storm. My eyes lit up like the evening sky and I threw all of them at Rouge. She evaded at perfect timing, and counter attacked one of the boulders towards me. "Oh no u don't bat! I need to kill everyone! Kill...." I broke the boulder with my bare hands and shocked everyone. Amy said, "Guys! We have to help Rouge! Zoe will surely get to the city if we don't help out!" Everyone nodded in agreement and lunged at me. I kicked them all back and Amy swung at me with her hammer. Every time they attacked me, they said, "Zoe! Wake up!" I couldn't take this anymore and fled to the city. "No..." Sally squeaked quietly as she raised her hand. Sonic out his face in his hands and stomped on the floor, "We're too late. She'll kill everyone..."

I arrived at the city in a matter of minuten and saw all the citizens enjoying their daily lives like normal people. Some were chatting up a storm, others were carrying their children in their laps and tonen them nearby planes that passed in the sky. I almost felt ashamed to destroy such a peaceful city, but that brief moment of remorse was pushed away door my darker feelings. I flew above the city and yelled in a booming dark voice, "Citizens of Mobotropolis, u shall evacuate immediately. My emperor and ruler, Eggman, shall slay anyone who dares to kruis paths of rebel against him. All who stay will die door my blade, all who leave shall partake in the future of EggmanLand." All the people froze and blinked a couple of times. They narrowed their eyes at me and all yelled in sync, "NO!" I smiled wickedly and made the clear blue sky turn into a foggy red color. Thunder came from all corners and smashed into buildings. People screamed and shouted. Just like in my dream, cries bellowed in the air. brand enveloped the city like the flames of Iblis, and the windows of the nearby shops shattered like broken glass. I heard the stomping footsteps of my vrienden and turned around to face them, carrying Shadow's limp lifeless body. He was dying with his eyes closed, thank god. Sally jumped onto the closest building she could find and attacked me from the sidelines. I evaded her at the last seconde and roundhouse kicked her in the back. She fell flat on a chili dog stand, her face smothered in ketchup that broke her fall. Sally definitely would have died with the condiment of the dag saving her. Amy and the rest were too scared to verplaats and flinched in fear of my newfound power. But they took the chance. As one, they all jumped up with their weapons, (except Sonic, he tried to kick me with his shoes) and aimed for me. I surrounded myself in a forcefield and deflected everyone. They all fell down. Tails came back, carrying a a giant tank gun. "Say goodbye evil Zoe! Give us the real one back.....you...you!!!"

Tails started firing at me like a madman on a murder spree. I got hit with a couple of cannonballs and fell on the ground. My kraag that Eggman implanted on me started heating up like a severe burn on the stove. I screamed and wailed in terror. "Get this off of me! Eggman! Stop! It hurts!" A giant lighting bolt shocked the air and made it staticky. I felt high like a vlieger, kite as I fell flat on my face. Eggman appeared from the red ominous clouds I hovered over the town. He grinned at me and cackled in his specially designed for his odd egg-shaped figure. "Hahaha! u were a great adversary in the end Zoe....I saw u about to break free from my mist brain-control serum a couple of times due to Shadow's affection. No matter, u already killed the black hedgehog. Now, u are going to die too!" Eggman pulled out a lazer stun straal, ray and aimed it at my head. I closed my eyes, ready for him to pull the trigger. Then I heard a very familiar voice, "Leave my love alone Doctor!" It was........Shadow!
He came back to life! I was so joyful! My whole world was reformed again! I felt tears stream down my eyes. I fainted shortly afterwards, and Sally, Rouge, and Amy had to drag me to safety in the sidelines. Eggman was shocked that Shadow came back. He angrily pounded on his metal hover egg machine, "This is not fair!!!!!! How could a petty hedgehog like him live? How?"

Shadow answered, "Because Doctor, u gave me immortality!"
He fired a chaos blast at Eggman's carrier machine that blasted him into the the red clouds I formed. Then the most magical happened. Red clouds in the sky turned back into white fluffy clouds that looked like an artist painted them into the world. Smiles covered the people's faces and cheers echoed around the emptiest of streets. Confetti flew up high into the air and all I heard was, "You saved us from the monster!" being repeated over and over again. Shadow floated back down and sat on the cobblestone street-way. Sonic picked me up and saw that I was back to normal, just how I looked before the big fiasco. The brand slowly died away from the buildings, and gras grew in the areas where there was once rubble. Amy cheered and hugged Sally tightly. Rouged clapped and shyly etched away from the hug crowd. I got up and thanked everyone, even Rouge for their attempt to stop me. "I guess u still can't be beat, even in your evil form. Well done!" zei a obviously impressed Rouge. I nodded and remembered: Shadow! Oh god! I had to apologize to him for so many things. I ran over to him teary-eyed and hugged him so hard. I cried in his shoulders and everyone, including the thousands of people in the city, awed and ooed. Shadow hugged me tight and whispered, "I'll never let u go again Zoe. Not now, not ever." I was touched at the last words and gave him a passionate kiss. Could he ever forgive me?

"Oh Shadow! I'm sorry for stabbing you, hurting you, and....and..." Shadow smiled and kissed my forehead. "I'm immortal, u don't have to worry about me dying." I giggled softly and let Shadow pick me up Bridal Style. The city looked so happy and cheery, like my personality. All of my vrienden nodded and waved goodbye. I told Shadow to set me down shortly and I walked. I felt dizzy all of a sudden.

Then I collapsed.
