Prologue: Limbo City - Night
A black and silver hedgehog is standing on the roof top of a church looking down at the city. The hedgehog is wearing a long black leather trenchcoat, a silver vest, black leather pants with a silver belt, and black leather combat hover boots. The Hedgehog's quills are sticking up with silver streaks in them. The hedgehog's silver eyes are hidden behind dark shades, and the hedgehog's hands are covered by black leather fingerless gloves. Around his wrists, and ankles are inhibitor rings. This is Shadow the Hedgehog. Shadow then looks up at the night sky as he thinks about Maria to himself in Japanese.
Shadow (Thinking in Japanese)
Maria gohyaku toshis are mushi surued soshie akureis aru hikitsugu sono chikyu.
Shadow then hears an unearthly scream, and the sound of guns being fired. He looks down at the ruined city once again to see a human female running through the streets being chased by demons. As he sees the demons chase her he can also see that the woman can hold her ground. As Shadow continues to watch the woman he sees that the demons are chasing her into an alley way. Shadow then growls as he sees that she is trapped by the demos, and needs his help. He then speaks in English.
Shadow (Speaking in English)
Chaos Control!
Shadow then disappears from the roof top.
Limbo City Streets - Night
The woman glares at the Hell Pride demons as they trapped her in the alley way. The woman is wearing a black leather trenchcoat, a silver vest, black leather pants with a silver belt, and black leather combat boots. Her hands are covered by black leather fingerless gloves. Around her neck is a red and black amulet with on a sliver chain. Her crystal blue eyes are hidden behind dark shades, and her silver hair is tied back into a pony tail by a black hair tie. In her hands are her black and silver guns called Vengeance, and Avenger. This is Raven Sparda.
Raven then puts her guns back under her trenchcoat in their holsters then she removes her shades, and puts them into her coat pocket, and gets into a fighting stance as she faces the demons. The first Hell Pride demon runs at Raven and swings its scythe at her. She quickly ducks under the swing by dropping to one knee, and sweep kicks the demons feet from underneath it. She sees it fall to the ground as she then quickly gets to her feet while catching the demon's scythe, and then Raven rams the scythe into the demon turning it into dust.
Raven then turns to fight the other Hell Pride only to find that it isn't there. She then drops the scythe, and she's about to leave the ally way when she suddenly hears an unearthly scream from right behind her. Raven then feels pain as the Hell Pride caught her off guard, and slashes her from behind. Raven then falls to her knees as she then hears a voice yell out.
Voice (Yelling)
CHAOS SPEAR!
Raven then sees a male hedgehog standing in front of her as she then hears the demon scream as it turns to dust. Raven then coughs up blood as she then falls to the ground feeling the blood from her wound in her back. And right before she passes out she thinks to herself in Scottish.
Raven (Thinking in Scottish)
Finally after all these years Ay've found him.
Shadow sees the woman collapsed onto the ground as he walks towards her. He stops as he reaches her. He looks down at her, and sees that she's dressed like him except for her silver hair and the red and black amulet around her neck. Shadow then gasped, and held his head in his hands as his eyes close tightly as he sees a small flash back.
(Flashback)
Maria and Shadow are on board the Space Colony Ark looking out the window at the earth that is slowly spinning in its orbit. He then looks at Maria, and sees a red and black amulet on a silver chain around her neck.
(End of Flashback)
Shadow then opens his eyes as he then looks at the woman, and he gently picks her up. He then walks out of the alley. As he does he looks at the woman in his arms, and thinks to himself in Japanese.
Shadow (Thinking in Japanese)
Chodo donata wo anata?
Shadow then walks off into the night with the young woman in his arms.
(End of Prologue)
CHAPTER 1
Chapter 1 Angel of Darkness
Raven awakes to the sound of a shower running in the bathroom, and she slowly notices that she's on a soft black leather couch. Raven then tries to sit up but stops, and quietly hisses out in pain as her back protested her movement. She then lies back onto the couch and turns her head to see the coffee table by the couch. She sees a framed photograph of a young girl in a sky blue dress with blonde hair, and blue eyes.
Raven's eyes widened a bit when she sees the red and black amulet on a silver chain around her neck, and she then sees a man wearing a white lab coat, dark pants, and a red mustache. She can see that his eyes are hidden by dark shades. Raven then sees Shadow standing by the young girl, and she gives a small sad smile. Raven then quickly wiped away the tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she composed herself. She then gives a small sigh as she then thinks to herself in Scottish.
Raven (Thinking in Scottish)
Maria and Uncle Gerald Aye wish that ye were alive te help ne explain te shadow about...
Raven's thoughts are interrupted as she then hears the shower being turned off then she hears the door to the bathroom upstairs open then close and she looks over to the stairs to see Shadow coming down. Raven can see that Shadow is wearing a silver vest, black leather pants with a silver belt, and black leather combat hover boots. She can see that his quills are sticking up with silver streaks in them. Raven can see that Shadow's eyes are silver.
Raven then quickly looks away from Shadow as he reaches the landing, and she shakes her head as she slowly starts to sit up on the couch while gritting her teeth from the pain in her back. Shadow can see that his guest is up as he sees the young woman sit up with a groan. He then walks over to her from the stairs, and sits on a chair on the other side of the couch, and crosses his arms over his chest.
Shadow can see that his guest is wearing a black leather trenchcoat, a silver vest, black leather pants with a silver belt, and black steel toed combat boots. He can see that his guest has long silver hair that is tied back by a black hair tie. He can see that her hands are cover by black leather fingerless gloves. Shadow then looks into the young woman's eyes, and gives a silent gasp as he can see that her eyes are a crystal blue, and then he lets his eyes drift down wards to the red and black amulet on a silver chain around her neck.
Raven can see that Shadow's eyes are on her amulet, and she quickly raises a fingerless gloved hand, and clasps the amulet while giving Shadow a glare. She can see that he is about to ask her a question and she raised her other fingerless gloved hand to stop him from asking. Shadow sees his guest raise her hand to stop him from asking her a question, and raises an eyebrow at her in question. Raven sees Shadow raise an eyebrow at her, and she then speaks in Scottish.
Raven (Speaking in Scottish)
Before ye ask me any questions Shadow and Aye know who ye are. Answer me this one question. Can ye speak English? And can ye understand me?
Shadow looks at his guest for a moment gathering his thoughts, and he can see that the young woman is waiting for his answer. After a few minutes Shadow then nods his head, and answers her in English.
Shadow (Speaking in English)
Yes I can understand you, and yes I can speak in English though I prefer to speak in Japanese. Now who are you? And how do you know me?
Raven nods her head to Shadow, and she sighs inwardly to herself but as she was about to answer Shadow her cell phone starts to ring. Raven then puts her hand into her trenchcoat pocket, and pulls out her cell phone. She then puts up her hand to stop Shadow from asking another question as she flips open her phone, and speaks.
Raven (Speaking)
Password?
Raven listens for a moment as the person on the other end then gives the password, and she then groans to herself as she then looks at Shadow for a second then she sighs to herself as she then speaks.
Raven (Speaking)
Raven speaking. What do ye want Tifa?
Shadow then raises an eyebrow as he hears his guest's name. He then thinks to himself in Japanese.
Shadow (Thinking in Japanese)
Karasu...Watakushi shiru sore namae! Maria katsute hanasu e watakushi no sore Karasu futte kanojo (no) shinseki. Hmm...
Shadow sees Raven end the phone call, and puts the phone back into her trenchcoat pocket. He then sees her sigh, and look at him as she is about to answer his questions the front door then opens with a bang, and a voice calls out in japanese.
Voice (Calling in Japanese)
Shadow! Doko wo anata?
Raven looks at Shadow and raises an eyebrow at him in question. Shadow sees Raven raise her eyebrow at him in a silent question, and he looks away from her as he then raises his voice calling out to the person who entered his house.
Shadow (Calling in Japanese)
Amy, Boku wa no naka de sono ima to issho ni hitosu homonsha.
Shadow and Raven then hear footsteps as they then see a pink hedgehog come into the room. Raven can see that the pink hedgehog is wearing a black leather jacket over a red low cut tank top, black leather pants with a red belt, and red leather combat boots. Raven can see that the pink hedgehog's hands are covered by red leather fingerless gloves. But what makes Raven face palm, and groan inwardly is the sight of a certain legendary sword that is strapped to her back. She then sees the pink hedgehog give Shadow a bone crushing hug, and she can see how uncomfortable he is. She then thinks to herself in Scottish.
Raven (Thinking in Scottish)
Aye cannot fuckin' believe this! Aye know that Tifa told me that she has a cousin but ye got te be fuckin' kiddin' me! She's crushin' the breath out of poor Shadow.
Raven sees that Shadow has pulled the pink hedgehog off of himself then he looks at her, and he's about to introduce the pink hedgehog to her but he stops when he sees Raven raise her hand, and he lets her speak.
Raven (Speaking in Scottish)
Lass is yer last name McLeod?
The pink hedgehog slowly turns around to see a young female human who is dressed like Shadow except for her long silver hair being tied back, and the red, and black amulet on a silver chain around her neck. Raven can see that the pink hedgehog is coming towards her slowly walking away from Shadow. And Raven then stands up from the couch as the pink hedgehog stops in front of her. Raven can see that the pink hedgehog's eyes are green, and then she hears the pink hedgehog speak in Scottish.
Amy (Speaking n Scottish)
Aye that is me last name of me clan. Me first name is Amy, and me middle name's Rose. So me full name is Amy Rose McLeod. Now that ye know me full name, and clan what's yer name and clan?
Raven then sighs as she then gathers her thoughts then she answers Amy's question in Scottish.
Raven (Answering in Scottish)
Me name is Raven Sparda. Me uncle, and cousin names were Gerald, and Maria Robotnik. Me parents’ names were Dante, and Delia Sparda. Me uncle was me mother's brother.
After Raven says this she looks at both Shadow, and Amy. She can see Shadow looking at her with an untrusting look, and she can see that Amy is right in her face, and grabbing her trenchcoat as she then snarls at her in Scottish.
Amy (Snarling in Scottish)
Ye lie!
Raven then moves quickly by balling up her fist and slamming it into Amy's stomach to make her let go of her trenchcoat, and when Amy does Raven then gives her an upper cut that she then that sends her across the room, and into the wall. Amy then slumps down the wall to the ground. Shadow then looks at Raven with a raised eyebrow. Raven just sighs as she then reaches into her trenchcoat pocket, and pulls out a black flash drive that she then tosses to Shadow. Shadow catches the black flash drive, and Raven can see him look at it then back to her as she then explains to him in Scottish.
Raven (Explaining to Shadow)
Look Shadow Aye din not care if ye believe me or not when Aye say that Gerald and Maria were me uncle and cousin. Ye can believe what ye want te believe. However...that black flash drive is the reason ay’ve been lookin' for ye. Tis also a last request from me Cousin Maria. And...Me cousin wanted me te ask ye if ye would help me fight against the demons.
Raven then sees Shadow's gaze lower to her amulet then she sees him look into her eyes once again. Raven then shakes her head then she sighs as she then walks past Shadow to the door. Shadow sees Raven shake her head at him, and as she walks past him he reaches out and grabs her arm to stop her from walking out the door. Raven stops as she feels Shadow grab her arm, and slightly turns her head to look at him as he then asks her a question.
Shadow (Asking Raven)
Raven...are you really related to the professor, and to Maria? Please answer me this question.
Raven looks into Shadow's silver eyes, and nods her head to him. Shadow sees Raven nod her head at him, and after seeing her nod Shadow then lets go of her arm. He feels a strange connection with Raven as he watches her head for the door once again. Shadow then stops Raven once again as he asks her another question.
Shadow (Asking Raven)
Raven why did you come looking for me in the first place?
Raven stops at the door with her hand on the door knob, and turns her head to look at Shadow over her shoulder, and then she gathers her thoughts as she then and she takes a deep breath as she answers his question in Scottish.
Raven (Answering Shadow)
Fer two reasons Shadow. one was te give ye that flash drive, and two...well Aye need yer help te stop yer father Black Doom, and te stop me power hungry twin brother Sephiroth from raising Temen-ni-Gru once again.
Shadow’s eyes widen as Raven mention his father's name along with her brother's name as well. Raven looks at Shadow as she waits a few seconds for his answer. When she feels his hand let go of her arm she sighs, and shakes her head as she then opens the door when once again she's stopped by Shadow's voice.
Shadow (Speaking to Raven)
I'll help you if you will help me Raven.
Raven turns her head to look at Shadow over her shoulder, and asks him a question in Scottish.
Raven (Asking Shadow)
What do ye need my help with Shadow?
Shadow looks at Raven with a glare as he gathers his thoughts, and takes a deep breath through his nose, and slowly releases it through his mouth, and answers Raven's question.
Shadow (Answering Raven)
I need your help to avenge the professor, Maria, and everyone who was on board the Ark that I cared about.
Raven looks at Shadow, and nods her head to him in agreement. Shadow sees Raven nodding her head, and he then quickly gathers up his guns, and trenchcoat. He puts his trenchcoat on then he holsters his guns under his trenchcoat. Raven watches Shadow as he does this, and raises a silver eyebrow as he walks towards her. Shadow sees Raven looking at him, and glares at her. Raven sees Shadow glaring at her, and she raises her hands up then she quickly turns away, and opens the door walking out with Shadow following her out of his house.
(Fade To Black)
CHAPTER 2
Chapter 2 Ext. Limbo City Streets - Day
Raven and Shadow are walking the ruined streets together. As they pass by old businesses, and homes with the roofs caved in Shadow can see that Raven is in deep thought as he can see that she's leading him to a strip club called Edge. As Raven and Shadow arrive to the club Shadow watches as Raven opens the door, and walks in with Shadow following her in.
Int. Edge Strip Club
Raven watches as Shadow looks around at both the male and female strippers dancing to heavy metal music. Raven then shakes her head as she then loudly clears her throat to get Shadow's attention. Shadow tears his eyes from both strippers as he hears Raven clear her throat, and looks at her. Raven sees Shadow look at her, and she asks him a question in Scottish.
Raven (Asking Shadow)
Shadow is this yer first time in a strip club?
Shadow then gives Raven a glare as a sign to back off. Raven sees Shadow glaring at her, and she raises her hands, and steps away from him. Shadow sees Raven backing off to give him space as they then hear someone call out to Shadow in Japanese.
Voice (Calling in Japanese)
KAGE!
Both Shadow and Raven both turn around to see a blue hedgehog coming towards them. Raven then looks at Shadow and raises her eyebrow at him. Shadow sees Raven raise her eyebrow at him, and he then sighs as the blue hedgehog stops in front of them. Raven can see that the blue hedgehog is wearing no shirt. She can see that he’s wearing skin tight black leather pants with black leather boots. Raven then looks into the blue hedgehog’s eyes, and she’s surprised to see that his eyes are an emerald green. Raven then feels uncomfortable as she sees that the blue hedgehog is looking at her with lust filled eyes.
Shadow can see Raven’s discomfort at how Sonic is staring lustfully at her, and he then clears his throat loudly to get Sonic’s attention. Shadow then sees Sonic look at him as he then speaks to him in Japanese.
Shadow (Speaking in Japanese)
Nani suru hitsuyo nasemono?
Sonic looks at Raven then back at Shadow as he then replies to Shadow in Japanese.
Sonic (Replying in Japanese)
Watakushi hitsuyo e shiru donata ga anata no tomodachi futte.
Shadow then looks back at Raven, and raises his eyebrow in question at her. Raven sees Shadow raise his eyebrow at her, and she just sighs as she then shrugs her shoulders at his silent question. Raven then replies to his unasked question in Scottish.
Raven (Replying to Shadow)
Ye can tell him what ye want te Shadow. It makes no difference te me. Aye have te find Tifa and drop kick her ass from here te the highlands and back.
Shadow nods his head to Raven, and then points to the stairs. Raven sees Shadow nod to her as she then sees him point to the stairs. Raven then nods her head to Shadow in thanks as she then climbs up the stairs. Shadow watches Raven go up the stairs until she’s out of sight then he turns to Sonic and speaks too him in Japanese.
Shadow (Speaking in Japanese)
Sonikku Karasu futte (de)nai watakushi no tomodachi (…o) nozoite kanojo futte watakushi akuma sagashi nakama. So (…no) ushiro hanarete.
Raven then smirks as she hears Shadow say this in Japanese from the top of the stair case. She then shakes her head as she then walks down the hallway to the bedroom door. Raven then stops at the door, and knock as she then calls out to Tifa in Scottish.
Raven (Calling out in Scottish)
Tifa! Aye’m coming in!
Raven then opens the door and steps into the room. As she does she then sees the body of a dead male hedgehog lying on the floor sliced across the torso. Raven then removes her shades, and puts them into her trenchcoat pocket, and she opens her eyes to reveal them to be crystal blue. Raven then grabs her guns Avenger, and Vengeance from their holsters under her trenchcoat.
Raven then narrows her eyes as she then feels chaos energy as she then looks from the corner of her eye to see Shadow appear right beside her. Shadow then glares at the demon he then pulls out his own guns Gerald, and Maria. Raven sees Shadow holding the two guns, and she sees that they are named after her deceased family members, and she gives a smirk at Shadow as he then looks at Raven.
Raven sees Shadow look at her, and she then nods her head and ducks as Shadow then shoots at the demon behind her. Raven then stands up and fires at the demon right behind Shadow. She moves quickly as it turns to dust. She sees more demons appearing, and quickly gives a side kick to one of the demons as it gets too close to her. As the demon drops its scythe Raven quickly catches it then she gives it a good twirl as she then slices the demon across the torso with the scythe.
Raven hears the demon give an unearthly scream as it turns into dust. She quickly uses the scythe to block another demon’s scythe from hitting her in the back once again. Raven can see that these are lust demons. Shadow then looks over at Raven to see that her eyes are narrowing, and he quickly holsters his guns as he then gets into a fighting stance. Shadow then charges up chaos energy, and throws it at the demon that is attacking Raven. The chaos energy hits the demon, and Raven hears it give unearthly scream as it becomes dust.
Raven then looks at Shadow, and nods her head to him in thanks as she then pulls out her guns, while Shadow then sweep kicks a demon as it gets close to him. Shadow then uses a chaos spear kill the demon. It turns to dust the moment the chaos spear hits it. Raven then quickly holsters Avenger and Vengeance as she then catches the lust demon’s scythe before it hits the ground.
Shadow watches Raven catch the demon’s scythe and he keeps watching her as she give the scythe a few good twirls. Shadow then watches as she blocks another lust demon’s attack on her. Shadow sees that Raven then gives the demon a kick to the stomach to break the deadlock that they were in as Shadow sees Raven move as fast as lighting slamming the scythe into the demon’s heart. The demon gives an unearthly scream as it turns into dust.
Raven then turns around to see that Shadow is fighting off a group of demons that circled him. She sees him kicking a demon hard in the stomach sending it flying into a wall where it turned into dust from the powerful kick. Shadow then activates his hover boots, and hovers in the air as he then charges up chaos energy in his hand, and then as Raven watches him she sees him then release the chaos spear at the circle of demons.
Raven sees the circle of demons then become dust as the attack hits. She then sees Shadow land on his feet on the ground. Raven then sees a lust demon appear behind Shadow with its scythe ready to attack him. Raven then quickly jumps into the air with chaos energy crackling around her hand as she then yells out her own attack in Japanese.
Raven (Yelling in Japanese)
KUROI CHAOS YARI!
Shadow watches in amazement as he sees Raven throw a chaos spear aimed at the demon right behind him. He turns around to see the demon get hit with the chaos spear, and the demon turns to stone. Shadow sees Raven land back to the ground on her feet, and watches her as she walks to the stone demon.
As Shadow continues to watch Raven he sees her stop right in front of the demon. Shadow then sees Raven pull her fist back, and slams her fist into the stone demon shattering it in one hit. Raven then hears a groan coming from the bed under the covers. Shadow, and Raven then look at each other, and he watches her go over to the bed and yank down the covers as she then asks a question in Scottish.
Raven (Asking in Scottish)
Tifa are ye alright lass?
Tifa looks up at Raven and nods her head to her. Raven sees Tifa nod her head, and she then drops the covers back onto her. Shadow watches Raven check on Tifa, and then he clears his throat as he then asks Raven a question in Japanese.
Shadow (Asking in Japanese)
Karasu anata dekiru hanasu no nihonjin?
Raven then sighs at Shadow’s question as she then nods her head to him and answers his question in Japanese.
Raven (Answering Shadow)
Hai Watakushi dikiru hanasu no nihonjin (…o) nozoite watakushi no ho okonomu e hanasu Scottish.
Shadow nods his head to Raven in understanding as he then asks her a question in English.
Shadow (Asking in English)
Raven how are you able to use chaos energy?
Raven looks at Shadow, and sighs as she then knew from the way that he’s looking at her that he want the truth from her here and now. Raven then takes a deep breath through her nose then she slowly lets it out through her mouth as she then gathers her thoughts, and then she answers Shadow’s question truthfully.
Raven (Answering Shadow)
Aye always had the ability te use chaos energy Shadow because of me mother. Aye can do what ye can because of her. However me mother was murdered by demons when Aye was little. But before me mother was murdered she was able te use chaos energy as well. Then years later when Aye was captured by the military but Aye was able te escape from them.
Shadow nods his head at Raven as he then crosses his arms and she sees him lower his head in thought. Raven then shifts from one foot to the other uncomfortably as she looks at the hedgehog in front of her. Shadow then looks up at Raven and she is surprised to see a flicker of concern in them before seeing them become cold once again. Shadow then turns his back to Raven. She just shakes her head, and sighs as she then hears Tifa speak.
Tifa (Speaking to Raven)
Raven is that him?
Raven just nods her head as she gathers up Tifa’s clothes, and gives them to her. Raven then sees Shadow turn around then leave the bedroom, and she just sighs, and shakes her head as she watches him leave. Tifa then speaks.
Tifa (Speaking)
And that is the last Angel Of Darkness that yer uncle spoke of? Heh. Aye was expecting…someone more on the friendly side like yer cousin Maria.
Raven then starts to growl at Tifa in warning as she glares at her but Tifa ignores her as she continues to speak.
Tifa (Cont’d)
And yer cousin along with yer uncle weren’t safe on the Ark. All because yer uncle went and created Shadow. Heh. No wonder the last of yer family were murdered in space by demons led by Black Doom.
Raven then moves quickly by grabbing Tifa by the throat and slamming her into the wall as she then snarls in her face.
Raven (Snarling)
Don’t. Ye. Dare. Blame Shadow fer the death of me uncle or me cousin ye mother fuckin’ bitch! Shadow tried te protect me cousin, and everyone on board the Ark. He did everything in his power te stop the demons from harming me uncle and me cousin. Tis not his fault that they were murdered in front of him nor tis his fault that me cousin sent him here on earth te protect him.
Raven then let’s go of Tifa’s throat and leaves the room angrily to see Shadow waiting for her in the hall. Shadow looks at Raven, and then at Tifa who is gasping, and choking to breathe air into her lungs. Raven just gives him a glare then she walks down the hallway to the stairs, and she then walks down them. Shadow looks into the room and sees that Tifa is collapsed onto the ground, and he smirks before he turns away and follows Raven down the hallway and stairs.
Raven is facing the door as she hears Shadow walk up behind her and feels him place his hand on her arm in a comforting way. Raven then looks at Shadow and nods her head to him in a grateful way. Shadow sees Raven nod her head at him as he then returns the gesture as she walks to the door and opens it and they both walk out of the strip club and into the night to head to the Limbo City Public Library.
(Fade To Black)
CHAPTER 3
Ext. Doom's Castle - Night
Shadow and Raven are at the gate of Black Doom's castle. Shadow turns his head to look over his shoulder at raven to see her shifting from one foot to the other. Shadow then raises an eyebrow as he asks her a question.
Shadow (Asking Raven)
Are you alright Raven?
Raven then looks at Shadow and nods her to him as she then answers him.
Raven (Answering Shadow)
Aye'm fine Shadow. Aye been here before. Tis place is where Aye...failed te stop me brother from...
Raven then clutches her stomach, and falls to her knees on the ground with a pained expression on her face. Shadow quickly gets to Raven's side, and kneels down on the ground and puts his hand on her shoulder as he then asks her a question.
Shadow (Asking Raven)
Raven are you alright?
Before Raven can answer Shadow a Hell Pride appeared behind her with its scythe raised to slash at her back. Shadow narrows his eyes at the demon as he then stood up and quickly jumped into the air as he yelled in Japanese.
Shadow (Yelling)
CHAOS YARI!
Raven looks over her shoulder in time to see the demon get hit by a chaos spear, and she can see it turn to dust and she looks back to Shadow as he lands beside her. Shadow then offers his hand to Raven. Raven then takes Shadow's hand, and he helps her up. Raven then takes his hand, and places it on her stomach. Raven still holds Shadow's hand to her stomach, and he feels a kick. Shadow looks at Raven in surprise as she then speaks.
Raven (Speaking to Shadow)
Shadow as ye can feel I'm pregnant with yer child. But tis isn't a normal pregnancy. When Aye was captured Aye was experimented on. That mother fuckin' asshole Dr. Alex Mercer had injected me with a sample of yer blood.
Raven then lets go of Shadow's hand, and he pulls his hand away from her stomach. Raven then walks past him and stops at the locked gate. She then gives the gate a very strong round house kick, and the gate then falls to the ground with a loud clanging noise. Raven then pauses as she continues to speak to Shadow.
Raven (Cont'd)
Shadow ye don't have te come if ye don't want te. Me uncle, and cousin's last names weren't Robotnik. Their last names were Sparda. Me family and them were murdered by yer father Black Doom. Listen...Aye won't force ye te help me, and if ye walk way now Aye won't blame ye.
Raven hears Shadow walk closer to her, and hears him stop right beside her. Shadow gently places his hand on hers. Shadow sees Raven cringe from his hand on hers. He is about to ask her a question when he hears Raven growl, and push him to the ground with her on top of him just in time to avoid a slash from a sword. They then hear a voice speak in Scottish.
Voice (Speaking in Scottish)
Ah tis me twin sister Raven. And what's this? Seems me sister has brought lord Doom's son. Hmm...and ye seem te be different me dear sister.
Raven then stands up, and growls out the person's name as Shadow stands up as well.
Raven (Growling)
Show yerself me so called twin brother Sephiroth!
Shadow and Raven then hear cold laughter as a man appeared before them. Raven then growls as Shadow sees the man wearing a red leather trenchcoat, black shirt, red vest, red leather pants with a black belt, and black leather calf high steel toed boots. Shadow can see on the man's hands are black leather gloves, and that his short silver hair is slicked back.
Shadow can also see that around this man's neck on a sliver chain is a red and black amulet, and that his eyes are crystal blue like Raven's but unlike Raven's they held no warmth. Shadow then steps in front of Raven, and glares at the man as he looks at Shadow first then at Raven. Raven then hears Shadow start to growl at Sephiroth, and she puts her hand on his shoulder, and pushes him towards the castle as she then speaks to him.
Raven (Speaking to Shadow)
Shadow listen te me. Aye'll handle me brother. Ye have te stop yer father and get revenge fer both Gerald, and Maria's deaths. Aye'm counting on ye Shadow.
Shadow then turns his head to Raven to look at her then at her twin brother Sephiroth. He looks at Raven again and nods his head as he then speaks to her.
Shadow (Speaking to Raven)
Alright Raven. Just don't get yourself or our child killed you hear me? Plus I'll never leave your side to raise our child all by yourself. I'm not like that, and Raven...I...I...I...I love you.
Raven looks into Shadow's eyes, and she can see the love in them. Raven then feels Shadow grab her, and pull her down to his height. Shadow then kisses Raven passionately which she returns the kiss with as much passion. Raven then pushes Shadow away from her breaking the kiss then turns to her twin as she makes a promise to Shadow.
Raven (Promising Shadow)
Shadow Aye promise ye that Aye won't go down in this fight. Aye'll make sure te come back te ye alive. Ye have me word on this. Now go kick to Black Doom's ass fer the both of us.
Shadow then nods his head to Raven as he then starts to run to the castle door. Sephiroth sees Shadow heading to the castle, and starts after him only to be stopped by a bullet whizzing past him. Sephiroth turns to see his twin sister Raven holding her gun Vengeance at him and giving him a cold glare. Shadow makes it to the door, and enters the castle alone.

Shadow as ye can feel I'm pregnant with yer child. But tis isn't a normal pregnancy. When Aye was captured Aye was experimented on. That mother fuckin' asshole Dr. Alex Mercer had injected me with a sample of yer blood.
Raven then lets go of Shadow's hand, and he pulls his hand away from her stomach. Raven then walks past him and stops at the locked gate. She then gives the gate a very strong round house kick, and the gate then falls to the ground with a loud clanging noise. Raven then pauses as she continues to speak to Shadow.
Raven (Cont'd)
Shadow ye don't have te come if ye don't want te. Me uncle, and cousin's last names weren't Robotnik. Their last names were Sparda. Me family and them were murdered by yer father Black Doom. Listen...Aye won't force ye te help me, and if ye walk way now Aye won't blame ye.
Raven hears Shadow walk closer to her, and hears him stop right beside her. Shadow gently places his hand on hers. Shadow sees Raven cringe from his hand on hers. He is about to ask her a question when he hears Raven growl, and push him to the ground with her on top of him just in time to avoid a slash from a sword. They then hear a voice speak in Scottish.
Voice (Speaking in Scottish)
Ah tis me twin sister Raven. And what's this? Seems me sister has brought lord Doom's son. Hmm...and ye seem te be different me dear sister.
Raven then stands up, and growls out the person's name as Shadow stands up as well.
Raven (Growling)
Show yerself me so called twin brother Sephiroth!
Shadow and Raven then hear cold laughter as a man appeared before them. Raven then growls as Shadow sees the man wearing a red leather trenchcoat, black shirt, red vest, red leather pants with a black belt, and black leather calf high steel toed boots. Shadow can see on the man's hands are black leather gloves, and that his short silver hair is slicked back.
Shadow can also see that around this man's neck on a sliver chain is a red and black amulet, and that his eyes are crystal blue like Raven's but unlike Raven's they held no warmth. Shadow then steps in front of Raven, and glares at the man as he looks at Shadow first then at Raven. Raven then hears Shadow start to growl at Sephiroth, and she puts her hand on his shoulder, and pushes him towards the castle as she then speaks to him.
Raven (Speaking to Shadow)
Shadow listen te me. Aye'll handle me brother. Ye have te stop yer father and get revenge fer both Gerald, and Maria's deaths. Aye'm counting on ye Shadow.
Shadow then turns his head to Raven to look at her then at her twin brother Sephiroth. He looks at Raven again and nods his head as he then speaks to her.
Shadow (Speaking to Raven)
Alright Raven. Just don't get yourself or our child killed you hear me? Plus I'll never leave your side to raise our child all by yourself. I'm not like that, and Raven...I...I...I...I love you.
Raven looks into Shadow's eyes, and she can see the love in them. Raven then feels Shadow grab her, and pull her down to his height. Shadow then kisses Raven passionately which she returns the kiss with as much passion. Raven then pushes Shadow away from her breaking the kiss then turns to her twin as she makes a promise to Shadow.
Raven (Promising Shadow)
Shadow Aye promise ye that Aye won't go down in this fight. Aye'll make sure te come back te ye alive. Ye have me word on this. Now go kick to Black Doom's ass fer the both of us.
Shadow then nods his head to Raven as he then starts to run to the castle door. Sephiroth sees Shadow heading to the castle, and starts after him only to be stopped by a bullet whizzing past him. Sephiroth turns to see his twin sister Raven holding her gun Vengeance at him and giving him a cold glare. Shadow makes it to the door, and enters the castle alone.

CHAPTER 5
Chapter 5 Int. Inside Doom's Castle - Night
Shadow walks down the hallway of the castle he can sense that there is something following him. He stops and listens for a few seconds then he hears chuckling. Shadow reaches under his trenchcoat, and pulls out his guns Maria, and Gerald. He then back flips as a scythe swings at him. Shadow then lands on his feet as he sees a Sin Scythe appear.
Shadow can see that the Sin Scythe is floating in the air, and he then aims for the Sin Scythe's mask. He then speaks in Japanese.
Shadow (Speaking in Japanese)
Daitai sayonara kisama.
Shadow then shoots the demon in the mask making the demon give an unholy scream as it turns to dust. He then sees other Sin Scythes appear in front of him. Shadow then growls as he then holsters his guns as he then jumps into the air, and yells out in Japanese.
Shadow (Yelling in Japanese)
CHAOS TOPPU!
Shadow releases a red blast of energy at the demons, and hears the demons sheirking as their masks are shattered, and they turn to dust. Shadow lands on the ground on his feet, and with his senses on high alert he continues down the hallway. He then sees a door, and approaches it with caution. Shadow sees that the door leads to a huge ballroom. He opens the ballroom doors with caution and enters.
Shadow freezes at what he sees. He sees Raven tied to a cross on the wall with different clothes on, and Shadow can see that she has various wounds showing where her clothing is cut. Shadow also sees that Raven's throat is slit, and bleeding. He quickly activates his hover boots and skates to Raven. He then jumps into the air, and hovers in front of her as he then gently calls out her name.
Shadow (Gently calling out Raven)
Raven?
Shadow sees Raven start to wake, and open her eyes. He gasps as he looks into Raven's open eyes. Shadow can see that Raven's eyes are no longer crystal blue but are now red. Raven looks at Shadow, and quickly speaks telepathically to him.
Raven (Telepathically to shadow)
Shadow. Listen te me. Yer father has taken our son Reaper. Ye must get him back! Black Doom murdered me brother, and Amy...isn't herself anymore. Ye must fight yer father. Aye know ye can do it. Fight him...fer our son back...fer the deaths of...Maria and Gerald...Aye love ye...Shadow.
Shadow sees Raven close her eyes and slump against the cross on the wall. Shadow then quickly cuts Raven free, and catches her before she can hit the ground. Shadow then lands on the ground, and as gently as he can lowers Raven to the ground. He can see the gaping wound in her stomach. Shadow then feels tear gather in his eyes but refuses to let them fall.
Shadow then hears footsteps behind him, and he turns around to come face to face with both Black Doom, and Amy McLeod. He can see Black Doom has his and Raven's son in his arms. Shadow then growled as he looks at Amy in the eyes. As Shadow looks into Amy's eyes he then hears Raven telepathically yelling at him in his mind.
Raven (Yelling telepathically to Shadow)
SHADOW DON'T LOOK HER IN THE EYES! SHE'S BECOME A VAMPIRE! CLOSE YER EYES AND STAKE HER IN THE HEART!
Shadow then closes his eyes, and with a snarl he charges his hand with chaos energy. Shadow then thrusts his hand into Amy's heart, and she gives an unearthly scream as she then becomes dust. Shadow then looks at Black Doom holding his son, and growls at him. He then runs at his father and drop kicks him making him drop Reaper. Shadow quickly catches his son in his arms landing on his feet on the ground. He sees Black Doom getting up, and he quickly moves Reaper to one arm.
Shadow quickly charges chaos energy into his hand and yells out in Japanese.
Shadow (Yelling)
CHAOS YARI!
Shadow then releases the spear and watches as it hits Black Doom in the heart, and he hears Black Doom scream as he turns to dust. Shadow then looks down at his son in his arms, and he's surprised that the infant is a black hedgehog with silver stripes, and with silver chest fluff. Shadow sees his son open his eyes to see that Reaper has red eyes like him.
Shadow then looks over to Raven, and walks to where she is laying on the ground. He stops beside her, and kneels. Shadow then reaches into his quills and pulls out a chaos emerald bracelet. He then paces the bracelet on Raven's left wrist, and he then takes Raven's amulet, and stands up with Reaper in his arms. Shadow then leaves the castle.
