Description
While Sonic the Hedgehog stole most of the glory away from other athletes, there was one that managed to stand out just as well as Sonic did. His name was Shadow the Hedgehog, so rightly named for the colour of his spines. He was an ambitious hedgehog, so much so that he continuously competed with Sonic in sports.

While Shadow proved he had just as much stamina, resilience and dexterity as Sonic did (despite much disbelief from the rest of the villagers), he was often overlooked by others. He grew up a loner but he didn't let that put him down; he took advantage of that. He trained vigorously, put down by the show-off he often called 'a faker': someone who was simply using his ability to gain glory and the eyes of others.

There were reasons that he continued to try and prove himself. It wasn't an overnight thought. When he was younger, a local human girl encouraged him to become better; despite being born at the same time as Sonic was, he was never looked upon for his abilities. People simply saw him as an omen, as a sign of darkness and despair. While Sonic had been born at the same time, he was seen as something good, something to conquer the darkness. The girl helped Shadow, built him his special boots and showed him love his parents would never give to him.

However, a dark day came when the girl was to never return. She was horribly ill and, while Shadow had no knowledge of this illness, she eventually died. Shadow was devastated. She was his only friend, his only companion; she had left the world too quickly for him to say goodbye. Shadow swore he would prove that he was worth something in the world, that he was worth more to the world that an omen of dark tidings.

While Shadow wasn't as fast as Sonic was at running, he was equal in speed when the roller-blades in his shoes were released. He could scale buildings, speed through the air and boost his speed enough to go at supersonic speed. He was strong, resilient and now he was as fast as Sonic.

He could beat him, despite being the underdog in many people's eyes; he could still become his equal if not more.

"Faker! You receive too much attention for your own good! For Maria!"

Okay I got to be truthful; I'm not a Shadow fan. I hate his games, I hate his ever-changing voice, I hate his stupid guns and his stupidly disproportionate bike but I got to hand it to Sega; they make good characters.

Just bad when the fan base interferes and destroys a good character but giving them stupid ideas.

I didn't mention the chaos control in the story because I have not put anything about the emeralds in these little stories so far. I don't plan on putting it into this one.

Shadow the Hedgehog belongs to Sega while this version is mine.
