       Mystic Madness [Amy Rose & Shadow Only]

       Set After Serving Miss Rose:

       "What?" Amy stared at her boss, the museum's curator when he had
       just given her an order.
       "You heard me, Amy. You're going on that excursion in Mystic
       Ruins. That's an order." The man had repeated himself.
       "B-But... why? There's so much to be done here-" She was cut off
       by him again.
       "I'm not going to hear about it. You've lost your spark, child,
       it's time you got out of this building and out into the field
       for practical archeology or at least a breath of fresh air."
       Amy Rose narrowed her eyes. Sure she was a tad depressed from
       what had transpired with Sonic but this was ridiculous! She was
       working harder than ever, shouldn't her boss be happy? "There's
       nothing there! That site has already been explored, documented,
       cataloged, and put behind glass here at the museum!" It was a
       waste of time! She didn't want to go digging around! He couldn't
       do this!
       She wasn't doing this!
       [hr]
       She was doing this.
       Amy stood in the swampy rainforest, dressed in tan shorts that
       went passed mid-thigh, a brown midriff-revealing tanktop, and
       knee-high hiking boots. She felt ridiculous, why did she wear
       this? She looked like some skanky heroine from a video game or
       movie.
       She couldn't believe this, this was an outrage. "Ugh!" She
       grabbed her pack and slung it over her shoulder. Might as well
       get this over with. She wasn't to return until she found
       something new to bring back for the museum, and since it was
       only her here, not only was this a pointless mission, but it
       would take forever!
       "Hmm... or maybe not." She remembered something she had said to
       a certain black and red hedgehog and then pulled out her phone,
       dialing his number. "Hey Shadow, how would you like to assist me
       in exploring Mystic Ruins? It's guaranteed to be hot, wet, muddy
       and will bore you to tears. You game?" She said, her tone
       completely deadpanned.

       By: Shadow the Hedgehog Date: July 18, 2018, 3:01 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       While the G.U.N intelligence division is investigating Eggman's
       whereabouts, Shadow is sent to track down the remaining bases
       the mad scientist abandoned long ago due to no longer have any
       use for them. He began his awfully short journey to Iron Jungle,
       a victim of pollution and machinery, once a jungle full of green
       pasture and dirt, is now another one of Eggman's base of
       operations to house his deadly weapons. Hence the term "Iron
       Jungle" Soon as those hardened ruby eyes spotted the dull
       architecture, his stomach tightened a knot, This place reminded
       him of a traumatizing event, a time when the doctor built those
       dreadful machines modeled in his own image.
       He HATES coming here, but work has to be done, on the bright
       side once this assignment is over, he would never have to look
       at this corrupted jungle ever again. The black hedgehog grinder
       a rail, it lead into a standing platform that felt larger than
       the ones in rail canyon, however it felt so closed in and narrow
       at the same time. The inactive Egg pawn and Shadow Androids
       reacted among Shadow's presence, they behaved exactly as he
       remembered them in the past, they prepared their built in
       weapons, firing lasers and heat seeking missiles, trying to
       destroy the intruder.
       Shadow scoffed and cranked up the speed, engulfing, his body in
       a yellowish orange boost aura, breaking the sound barrier, he
       planned to finish this assignment quickly, refusing to slow
       down. The Egg Pawns are tossed away either in pieces or flung
       off somewhere in the distance, His metallic twin brothers put up
       a stronger resistance however in the end they fared no better,
       they were created with the data of Shadow still having his
       limiter rings and wasn't quite as powerful nor fast like he is
       today. Shadow dispatched a lot of them either boosting through
       their soulless temple, or using a spin attack.
       He reached the end of the base, spotting the main cause of
       pollution and the source in holding the facility together, a
       well timed speed boost should do the trick. He plowed through
       the reactor core, triggering a chain of explosives, Shadow
       sprinted out of danger and stood outside the room entrance.
       Whatever amount of enemies left are of no concern to him, they
       will perish along with the base in a matter of time.
       Shadow clicked on his communicator to speak with Commander Tower
       about his success, "Ive done it Commander, Eggman's weapon
       facility is destroyed"
       Abraham Tower can clearly here the explosions, pondering why
       haven't his agent left the area immediately. "Well what are you
       standing around there for? Get out of there before you blow into
       chunks!, come back for debriefing" he warned. "Understood"
       Shadow zoomed off back to G.U.N headquarters, once there he
       approached the Commander and gave him a sulute.
       "Excellent work Shadow, we are still tracking down Eggman's
       other bases and hopefully his location, for now I don't have any
       further assignments for you to do until then, go rest up" he
       gave Shadow the clear to take it easy until he is ready to be
       deployed. The brooding doppelganger nodded, approaching his
       living arrangement, he stepped inside his room and sat on the
       bed. Soon his communicator went off and he didn't hesitate to
       examine the caller ID: Amy Rose, what could she want? He clicked
       a button to answer.
       "Hey Shadow, how would you like to assist me in exploring Mystic
       Ruins? It's guaranteed to be hot, wet, muddy and will bore you
       to tears. You game?"
       Shadow didn't expect an invitation from Amy like this, did she
       wanted to return the favor from the other day? Most likely the
       case. "Depends, what are you looking for?" he replied.

       Amy shrugged, despite Shadow not being able to see her. "No
       idea. Something the museum doesn't have already on the history
       of the Mystic Ruins and the Echidna Clan." She repressed a sigh
       and began her treck to the old structures, might as well look
       through them and see if she sees anything new. "It could be
       fun... maybe. Hey, don't worry about it. You don't have to if
       you don't want to. I wouldn't force this on anyone." She said,
       running a hand along a wall covered in the old Echidna language
       and began to slowly decipher them. 'Hmm... blah blah blah, old
       legend, sacred treasure, nothing I haven't read before.'

       History or Ruins and the Echidna Clan? Shadow certainly would
       been dismissive to Amy's offer, he has better things to do, a
       part of him is curious about their origin, especially if they
       possessed more knowledge of chaos energy than he does, the
       echidnas may even be the original users of chaos, only one way
       to find out. "Normally I would've said no, but I'm not doing any
       missions right now, I need an excuse to get some exercise, I'm
       in" Shadow hung up and dashed all the way over to Amy's location
       in seconds.
       Shortly after he arrived, he folded his arms, expressing
       indifference. "....." he noticed the change in Amy's wardrobe,
       to him its a trivial matter to be concerned about, he couldn't
       form an opinion if he tried, he isn't into fashion. Nonetheless
       he is here to accompany Amy on her quest.

       Amy smiled and hung up when Shadow arrived. "Oh, hey, there you
       are. Thank you for joining me. It really means a lot." Despite
       her depressed state, she was really happy that Shadow was here
       when he didn't have to be. It kind of warmed her heart.
       Amy stood up from the ground and brushed herself off, and
       gestured towards the writing and murals on the wall. "Allow me
       to be your guide on the history of the Mystic Ruins. So, long
       ago it was built by the clan of the Echidnas, the architectural
       designs are identical to the ones on Angel Island where the
       Master Emerald is housed and the chaos emeralds were once also
       kept before legends say they angered their god the Great Chaos
       and he wiped out their civilization, fast forward and this is
       what's left of their homes, old stone and faded hieroglyphics."
       She looked up at the ceiling, seeing the rougher and less
       detailed version of the battle with the Perfect Chaos and the
       hedgehog shaped individual. "Now that I see it again. I'd say
       it's safe to assume that your creation had a lot of inspiration
       from their legends and knowledge of the chaos emeralds." She
       pointed up to the picture. "I didn't notice it before but your
       shape does bear a close similarity to the mural up there." She
       turned and gave him a smile. "I guess you can think of this
       place as part of your heritage, something to connect with." She
       said.

       Shadow uplifted his neck and stared deeply at the hieroglyphics
       of Perfect Chaos and the hedgehog individual, If the ebony
       mobian didn't remember his creator built an exact replica of the
       Master Emerald shrine, invented artificial intelligence that
       resembled Chaos, and multiple sighting of fake Chaos illusions
       during the war confirming its existence, Amy hypothesis about
       his origin would've sound like back wash. Shadow's expression
       gradually changed from stoic to shock and confusion, If this is
       true then why didn't Gerald tell him about this?
       Did he live his whole life believing to have his own identity?
       How much did he know about the professor, how many secrets kept
       from him? Did anything he possessed rightfully belong to him?
       Shadow is feeling shaken on the revelation. "Y-You mean I was
       c-created in the image of...S..SOMEONE ELSE!?" he felt
       distraught looking at Amy in disbelief. He thought he'd finally
       discovered his past, who he is as a person, to honor his
       friend's wishes in order to move on with his life, this newfound
       knowledge made everything crumble away, he wondered if it was
       all for nothing.

       Amy turned towards the dark hedgehog, surprised at his reaction
       and then thought back over her words. Had she not accused Sonic
       of being insensitive? And what was she being now? “I'm sorry. I
       just blurted that out without thinking.” She paused. Telling him
       to ignore it would be a waste of breath. The pink hedgehog
       thought of how to rectify her error. “ I misspoke, I didn't mean
       that you were created to be someone else. I meant that... when
       Gerald was looking at these murals and legends, he might have
       seen a world in desperate need of hope, not a weapon, and that's
       what he had in mind, for you to be a beacon of hope to
       humanity.” She approached the black hedgehog and placed a hand
       on his shoulder. “You don't have to worry about someone trying
       to change who you are. You are who you make yourself to be. You
       choose your own destiny. And you have.” She smiled softly. “Back
       on the ARK, you could have chosen to let the world be destroyed
       yet you stopped it. You did. I'd say that you've surpassed
       anyone's idea of you. You're just amazing that way.” The last
       part made her blush as soon as she said it. 'So what if I'm
       embarrassed? I meant it. He will always amaze me.'

       The vein popping atmosphere of tension Shadow is experiencing,
       subsided upon Amy giving him comfort, sharing her of piece of
       wisdom. She reminded the troubled mobian he is created to bring
       hope to the world, to serve as a beacon for humanity, he got to
       where he is now because he chose to be what ever person he
       wanted to be, without allowing anyone to control his destiny.
       Shadow's muscles loosened their stiffness, his mind becoming
       more clear once again.
       He gazed at Amy in gratitude for the hammer girl, scarlet eyes
       regaining their shine indicating a sign of focus and relief, she
       has done it again. "You're right, I chose my own path for
       myself.." he turned away from Amy, once again staring at the
       hieroglyphics. "Still...its crazy to believe my origin connects
       to all of this, The Professor really loved his research.." he
       made the right choice coming to Mystic Runs, if he didn't he
       never would've discovered more of his backstory.

       She was glad that she had been able to correct her error without
       the usual quick dismissal that leads to the haunting dwelling
       upon them until you go mad. Amy smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I find
       it exciting whenever I see the past and present connect. I
       wonder if the professor was also a history buff.” She mused then
       looked around the chamber at the options of which doorway to
       pick first. She opened her backpack and pulled out her torch
       then flicked it on. “Alright. Let's look around and see if
       anything stands out or looks out of place.”
       She pulled out a map and handed it to Shadow. “Here is a layout
       sketch that was made of the ruins, maybe we'll find something
       that wasn't drawn. I'll be honest, I have my doubts but hey,
       we'll never know standing here,” she said, tapping a passage on
       the map. “Let's take that one first.” She pointed in the right
       direction and began walking.

       "Its possible the professor is an archaeologist" the evidence
       aboard the ARK suggest frequent trips to Angel Island, making
       his other occupation all the more likely. Shadow is handed a map
       that contains a detailed sketch of the ruins the pair is about
       to explore, they didn't take no more than a few seconds to
       decide on the entryway, the right doorway. Sonc's darker twin
       allowed Amy to take the lead, she knows about this place more
       than he does, and she is carrying their only field of vision.
       Shadow didn't utter a word once they entered inside, he focused
       his instincts to look out for potential booby traps or other
       explorers who could be an obstacle on their quest. It is also a
       good time to ponder Amy's state of mind, she haven't said a word
       about Sonic after he joined her on a history hunt, a contrast
       from the fan girl he knew, did she take his advice to heart?
