"Looks like a child to me." Spike commented, looking happily at Rita.

"Yes. This is my first son," Rita said, sitting down to let them see. The baby looked just like a minature version of her.

"Well, I'll be a fox's uncle." Spike commented, looking at the little bundle of joy.

Rita chuckled. "Yes, you are." She smiled, looking at the little blessing she and Kaushal brought into the world.

"Kaushal, do your best. Unless you want to end up looking at the end of my blaster." Spike chuckled, but didn't say more.

"Don't worry. I've been dreaming of this day ever since Rita told me she was pregnant. I'm going to be the best father I can and make sure I do my part to raise our son right."

"How can you see this and not be moved, Shadow?" Sonic asked.

"Easily." Shadow replied.
"He probably only sees a potential enemy of this child." Shade said, his eyes sad-looking. "Seperating yourself from the world takes it's toll, and leaves the subject in a state that almost completely blocks happiness. But, he's shown a little of himself, so he must want help, but not know how or who to ask."

"Hmmm. Maybe if he met someone who could defeat him, seeing as he claims he's the ultimate life form," Kaushal said.

"No, that would only drive him further." Shade held up his hand to his chin, like he was thinking. "We need someone to show him kindness without alternate expectations..."

"Maria would be good for that then," Lein said, "but I don't know how it would affect him to see her."

"Sonic, you've seen what he's capible of, and from my research imto your past, you're an all-around nice guy. If anyone has a strong chance of success, you're him."

"Well, Shadow does kind of consider me an enemy because of everything leading up to the incident of the ARK hurtling towards earth."

"But in the time of need, it was you who helped jillhim save the planet his Maria cherished. I am not saying you have to be perfect, merely that you and Shadow have a lot in common. Nobody can please everyone, and although Shadow needs to have a friend, he also needs to know this."

"Who can ask beyond one's capibility?" Shade said, almost mystically. "I know your story, Sonic, and that of Shadow."

"Yeah. I'll try," Sonic said, going to Shadow.

"What do you want?" Shadow's voice was as cold as ever.

"Just to talk," Sonic said in a friendly tone.

"About what?" Shadow seemed more interested for a second, but you couldn't be sure if he really was.

"What do you want to talk about?" Sonic asked, figuring if he stayed on a topic Shadow was comfortable with, he'd get better results.

"Sonic, how much do you know about Eggman?" Shadow asked suddenly, as though he had been thinking about Eggman.

"Pretty much anything. I can tell you everything from where he gets all his robot parts to what size pants he wears."

"Good, then you can tell me why he wants his revenge." Shadow said, just after Sonic spoke.

"Revenge on who specifically?"

"Not one person, the world. Why is he trying to take over the world?" Shadow explained, "What drives him to consider such a course of action? What would it have been like if he hadn't decided to become the mad doctor he is now?"
|

|
|
Post by kratos on Jan 18, 2009 0:55:29 GMT -5
"If he hadn't become the mad doctor he is, maybe he'd be using his inventions to help the world, but he became obsessed with a desire for power."
|

Post by Blade on Jan 18, 2009 1:05:33 GMT -5
"And that desire is what is driving his actions?" Shadow looked sad. "Then he doesn't really care that Maria was killed. He's fighting GUN for his own purposes."

"Mostly, yes. He's not completely evil, though. I'm sure he feels some sorrow over Maria's death, but his own evil ambitions are hiding it."
