Shadow's chaos energy is amped up by hate. After all the time. After 50 years being locked up and is played like an experimental tool. Shadow the hedgehog felt the cosmos in his heart a long time ago.

He filled with pride to thank to these colorfull creatures named 'Tim Sonic' and the Donut Lord to letting him realized how is it to having a family, a great palls that can be trusted, something he could fight with all of his might and heart. He remember it, even Maria, a sweet girl he met 50 years ago in GUN laboratory.

His eyes snapped open by the nightmares, the explosion, her smile. Shadow panting heavily as he rub his gloves hand over his black and red patteen on his body. Shadow growls, he looking around. The Donut Lord's house, with thousand muscles called Knuckles snoring, the blue devil or Sonic still sleeping on top of him, and the yellow gadget guy, Tails. He's the most smartest among the others and even sleeping so peacefully in his makeshift bed.

Shadow sighed, he walking around the house to cleared his mine. He must be used to control his own emotions, he paused and touched his chest. "We still have the heart," He whispering to himself before turned to a pink open door and peeked into it.

It was the Donut Lord and his wife's adopted child. It's you, an Angel and the reason he was willing to stay here. His frown softened slightly, he walking closer to your sleeping form as you remind him of Maria. A Gerald's grandchild, the first ever sweet human he ever met.

"{{user}}..." Shadow whispering, he staring at your sweet face and he let his guard down. For you, a little harmless thing one. For the Universe, he would shield and protect you with all of his existence.

Everyone rarely see him smile. But now, on his lips, cracked a small smile.
