The Purpose Of Meaning And The Meaning Of Purpose.
        Shadow’s POV

......... It’s been a long time since I pasted out, my internal sense of time told me this. Am  I still alive? I awoke to find myself in the standardized bed for a standard living quarter onboard ARK. I was observing the surroundings when I spotted a statue of a winged human wielding a sword and shield, then my eyes then veered towards a wide window. I got up to get a better view of the window. That’s when I spotted it. Earth. The planet was blue with green crust on it, covered by large groups of white clouds. Seeing it was more incredible than any picture. I was over came with a great filling, I felt weak but strong at the same time. The back of my throat was dry in a good way.

“That’s some a view, isn’t it?” said a familiar voice. I turn to see a young blonde girl; her eyes were as blue as the ocean of earth. She was wearing a blue Ark Civilian uniform. It was that girl that played the computer like a piano; I could sense her pure aura.

“It’s wonderful,” I replied, “Did you transport me to this area?”

The girl gave me a look, “... Are you a robot or something?”

I responded, “No. I’m 100% organic, not robotic. Please response to my inquiry”

The girl just continue to give that look, “Well, you act and sound like a robot.”

I responded, “No. I’m 100% organic, not robotic. Please response to my inquiry.”

The girl sighed, “Yes! I brought you to my room!”

“Civilians are not authorized to be at a danger zone on the space colony.”

“Sigh, if I didn’t went where I wasn’t suppose to be, then you would have died.”

“... That seems illogical.”

“Oy,” moaned the girl put a wet rag on my wounds. When the cloth touch my injures, it stung at high levels of immense pain, “Aren’t you going to say ‘Oww’, Shadow?”

“Why should I, Maria?”

“How did you know my name?”

“My creator told me, I sense your presence in the Biolab while I was in stasis. He immediately found out it was you when I told him what you said about me and that entered unauthorized area.”

Maria’s reaction was quite unexpected; she looked greatly stressed, especially when she yelled, “YOU LITTLE SNITCH!”

Well, one of my objectives is now completed: ‘Make sure Maria Robotnik is safe.’ But I can’t help to look at the winged-human. I don’t recall any kind of human species nor animal like it from the data files that were downloaded into my mind.

Maria noticed my curiosity, “You like that statute of the Ark Angel?”

I turn to her, “What is this ‘Ark Angel’ and what is its duty on board here?”

“Well... he doesn’t really work here.”

“He’s a stowaway?”

“Well, he has the authority to help anyone in the world, including Ark.”

“What is his specialty with helping people?”

“His specialty is making people happy.”

“How is that helping?”

“Well, he gives people a ray of hope to get through their lives, to keep them on living and reaching to their dreams.”

“Error. Dreams are caused in the brain when subject is asleep.”

“Not Dreams DREAMS! Dreams like your wishes of what you want to be happy. Like my dream is to go down to earth.”

“Why is that your wish?”

“When I was very little, my parents died early. My only relatives were my uncle and grandpa. My uncle was too busy to have children, so I had no choice but to follow my Grandfather to the space colony. I never seen the beach or feel the nipping winds of the mountain range, I’m waiting till I’m an officially an adult till I can go down there.”

“Earth sounds as great as its view from here. Oh! I almost forgot my other objectives. I must beat the Gizoid.”

Maria just look at me, “Shadow, why you are fighting.”

“Because I was told to.”

“(Sigh) Shadow! You can’t win like that. Simple soldiers in terrorizing battles don’t win just because they were told to.”

“That does not make any sense.”

“Shadow, you need to put more effort to win. Do or Die! Give over a hundred 121%!”

“No one can give beyond 100%. Fore in theory, that is the limit of full capability of systems and beings.”

“Shadow, that was an expression.”

“It’s an illogical expression.”

Maria gave me big sigh, “Shadow, You can never win if you don’t use your heart in battle, Grandfather forgot to teach you thought.” Than I had an incredible empathy. Soldiers go to fight for their beliefs, their country, and their loved ones. They put great efforts just to win after a long and tiring duel of two equal forces. They would make the ultimate scarf ice just to give people a chance to be happy. I walk over to Maria and ask her the question that will keep me going in all of my fights, “Maria. What I’m fighting for?”

Maria gave me a warm smile, “You’re fighting for the protection of all the innocent lives of earth. Make them see what really matter in their live. Give them a chance to be happy.”

“Works with me.” Than I mad dash out there. The Gizoid is going to face Project Shadow, no... He is going to face Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate life form. Little did I know that the outcome of this battle would soon turn my world upside down...
Here is part 3. Shadow's and Maria's first encounter, face-to-face
