Journal of an Ultimate Lifeform: Chapter 2 ~ Tragedy
#2 of Journal of an Ultimate Lifeform
Here's the second chapter. It's pretty dark, as you will soon see.
Shadow the Hedgehog and the others belong to Service Games (SEGA).
I can't stop crying as I write this, although I picked a hell of a time to do so.
The military attacked us today. I'm not sure why, but I know it has something to do with me. Maria thought we should rescue the researchers that were wounded and help captive and then get to the escape pods in the Central Lab. I advised against it because she was too weak to do any running, but there was no time to argue. We ran as fast as we could and saved the researchers that were still alive, but the military was closing in on us quickly. They were everywhere. Those pricks even had the absolute gall to send one of their heavy duty mechs after us, Heavy Dog, if I recall. At that point, I was fed up and took it out with extreme prejudice. I'm sure Maria would have scolded me under different circumstances, but I didn't care.
We managed to make it to the Central Lab but before we could escape, they...they...
Oh, God...
...They shot her. Those bastards shot my only friend in cold blood. They didn't even hesitate. I was about to attack, but she threw me in the center of the lab and closed the pod. I tried to tell her to let me out, but it was no use. With every ounce of strength she had left, she asked me to promise her something, but I can't exactly remember what it was. It was all happening so fast. I do, however, remember the last thing she said to me...
"Sayanora, Shadow the Hedgehog."
Then...she released the capsule. Even now, it's plummeting to Earth. The planet she and I stared at together. But she could never go now. She's gone. What purpose does life have for me now?! Oh no, the capsule's entered the atmosphere! It's burning everywhere!! Someone help! I'm not ready to go there, damn it! Not alone!!
PROFESSOR! MARIA! HELP ME!! PLEASE!!!
