SHADOW: Who am I...? The key to the mystery lies with the one who calls himself "Black Doom". He told me to gather up all of the Chaos Emeralds, and then, disappeared. I don't know what, or who he is, but the answer must lie with the Chaos Emeralds... that much I do believe. GUN soldiers were foolish enough to try and get in my way. After defeating them, I       was able to get my hands on two of the Chaos Emeralds. I'll stop anyone who tries to get in my way!

We've also managed to                  suppress enemy forces in five other cities. There's also reports that the CIA's mainframe has been compromised. We're                  investigating the incidents now. It is a strong possibility that this was also committed by the black aliens.

I defeated those who dared to try and stop me; and now two of       the Chaos Emeralds are mine. The third Emerald was said to be inside some kind of cyberspace database.

I don't know if       that's true or not, but he's the only one I can trust for clues about my past. I destroyed the Federal Government's cyberspace, and got the third Chaos Emerald.

BLACK DOOM: That's right. The seven Chaos Emeralds are needed to demonstrate its full power, or tomorrow's prosperity ritual will all be for nothing.

SHADOW: Black Doom claims to have knowledge of my past. He claims I had promised to deliver the seven Chaos Emeralds to him; I don't know if       that's true or not, but he's the only one I can trust for clues about my past. I defeated those who dared to try and stop me; and now two of       the Chaos Emeralds are mine. The third Emerald was said to be inside some kind of cyberspace database. I went into this digital realm, destroyed the core program, and got the Emerald. Now there are four left, and I must find them!

I don't know if       that's true or not, but he's the only one I can trust for clues about my past. I destroyed the Federal Government's cyberspace, and got the third Chaos Emerald. I found the doctor, and followed him to this weird castle. I made my way past the traps that were strewn about his castle, and stayed on his trail. The doctor has got to know something about who those black creatures really are!

In the past, I destroyed a GUN aircraft that threatened Maria. Following the President's escape pod, I ended up       among GUN's aerial fleet. I was able to take possession of GUN's Chaos Emerald. Now there are only two left! I will find the truth!

SHADOW: Okay. Two more and then the truth about my past will be revealed. I'll       finally know... who I am.

BLACK DOOM: Shadow... We seem to have a problem with rats running loose on the base. Return immediately to the Black Comet, and exterminate them!

SHADOW: The truth is hidden in my memories; but I don't know what I can trust about what I think I know. However, since this all started, something has begun to stir inside of me. I made it to the jungle, and I followed the doctor again to the entrance of his secret base. The doctor told me       that I was an Android. There was a battle between me and one of his robots, but in the end, I got the fifth Chaos Emerald. I'm... an       Android? I don't want to believe it, but to know for sure, I need the remaining Emeralds!

SHADOW: The pieces are coming together. This "Ultimate Life Form" they keep referring to is the black hedgehog, and he... died. And I'm its copy...       I must be the Android Doctor Eggman created.

With fragments of my past, I went to the doctor's base in order to stop his plan. I       fought my way through, and took the sixth Chaos Emerald as my prize.

SHADOW: My search for the truth is about to come to an end. I found the fifth Chaos Emerald aboard the Space Colony ARK. The ARK started to collapse because of the black creatures' attack, and I was trapped inside it. Following Black Doom's command, I found the sixth Chaos Emerald in a       section of the Colony. There's only one m ore Chaos Emerald to find, and then the truth is mine!

SHADOW: Who am I...? The key to the mystery lies with the one who calls himself "Black Doom". He told me to gather up all of the Chaos Emeralds, and then, disappeared. I don't know what, or who he is, but the answer must lie with the Chaos Emeralds... that much I do believe. The city had been destroyed by the black creatures; it seems like they were after the Emeralds. I was able to stop them, though, and took two of the Emeralds for myself. Now there are five left... and they will all be       mine, soon enough!

BLACK DOOM: *laugh* Ignorant fools... We're here to save the humans from their own demise. We offer... salvation.

SHADOW: What?

BLACK DOOM: Their greed, thirst for power, and affinity for betrayal has them on a path of self-destruction. Their actions will lead to           extinction of their species. We're here to save them from themselves... with our perfect order... allowing them to live through their desperate lives in peace. Humans are a great energy source for us... they will be well-kept.

EVERYONE: *gasp* What?!

BLACK DOOM: Let us begin our ritual of prosperity. Chaos... CONTROL!

SHADOW: This can't be happening!!

AMY: What was that? What just happened?

SONIC: Those black creatures just warped the Comet down to the surface using Chaos Control!

ROUGE: No! That's impossible!

SHADOW: That's why you needed the Chaos Emeralds...

BLACK DOOM: *laugh* Precisely. The Comet's velocity isn't powerful enough to           pass through another planet's atmosphere. The Emeralds amplify the space-time control powers of Chaos Control. We need them to charge to full power. It's the perfect plan. That's why I needed the professor to help me.

SHADOW: What?!

EGGMAN: That's insane!

$# Flashback: The ARK  #$


 * - Black Doom and Gerald are standing by Shadow's capsule.

BLACK DOOM (voiceover): The professor was in development of the ultimate life force, but he needed my help. So we made a deal... I                       helped him, and he promised to deliver me the seven Chaos Emeralds. That's how you were created, Shadow. You would help us do both!

SHADOW: Me? I can't believe it...

EGGMAN: That can't be! He betrayed his own people for research?! For Black Doom?!

SONIC: *laugh* Big deal... we can't just stand here doing nothing.

KNUCKLES: Yeah, let's do this! I'll crush that cosmic rock ball! Ugh!


 * - As Knuckles throws his fist in the air, he freezes in place.

SONIC: Knuckles! What's wrong?! *freezes* Ugh!


 * - Everyone else freezes as well.

BLACK DOOM: *laugh* A special weapon... this gas, once released, is quickly absorbed into your bloodstream. In a moment, total paralysis will hit your nervous system. The end is near, now... *laugh* Ahh... my           dear offspring... Eat and devour these savory dishes!

 * - Shadow opens his eyes, and stands up. He stomps on the Black Arm by him.

BLACK DOOM: What?

SHADOW: I am Shadow the Hedgehog. I've left the past behind me. No one can tell me what to do now! I will destroy you, Black Doom!

BLACK DOOM: I gave you life, and THIS is how you repay me? *laugh* The irony of it all, is I gave you life... now... I'll take it back! *laugh*

BLACK DOOM: *laugh* Such bravado for a little hedgehog. I thought you were different from the rest... but maybe not. We are more alike than you think... the same blood runs through our veins.

SHADOW: This can't be...! *clutches head* Ugh!! *falls to knees* Just... who are you?

BLACK DOOM: Don't you know? You were created from MY blood.

BLACK DOOM: Well, well, well... seems like you're immune to my mind control.

SHADOW: You have no control over me, Black Doom. I now understand why I am       here. I made a promise and I'm here to keep it. Today, I put my past behind me.

 * - Shadow, atop a cliff, loads a clip into a gun. He looks over at the camera

On a motorbike, Shadow is riding through Westopolis. Black Hawks swoop down from above as a large Black Arm throws a car at a couple of GUN troops - it explodes. Shadow gets closer to the large Black Arm. He rams the motorcycle into it, leaping away as it blows up.

Several GUN soldiers are firing at the aliens, as hundreds more pour out from the vortex in the sky. One of the Black Arms lands on a car, then throws another one away. The troops continue to fire on the aliens. Shadow stands on a ledge, overlooking the chaos below. He uses Chaos Control to   teleport away.

A view of Shadow slowly walking through a forest comes on, before switching to him in Westopolis, firing at the Black Arms.

Sonic, along with everyone else, run through Westopolis.

Shadow warps behind a few Black Arms, and kicks them away. Elsewhere, GUN soldiers fire at a thick smoke from which Shadow emerges. Their gunshots bounce off him as a dark aura surrounds him. He uses Chaos Blast to knock them down.

Black Doom motions for the Black Arms to continue their assault. In GUN's headquarters, the Commander also gives the signal for his troops. And Eggman, in his base, orders his robots to move out.

Above the Earth, the ARK comes into view as its Eclipse Cannon charges up.

A GUN soldier tries to crawl away on the ground. Shadow stands over him - his eyes reflecting the nearby flames as he trembles with rage.

Sonic, covered in dirt, collapses on the ground as Shadow stands behind him. Shadow looks on ahead; activating Chaos Control, he flies at the camera.

The "Shadow the Hedgehog" logo appears.

$# Waking Up  #$

Waking up; breaking out... This is what it's like to be free. Rip it up; tear it down... This is what it means to be free.

Jet sounds a distant roar behind you, As you try to clear your head. You start to look, and answers find you; Your inner purpose lies ahead.

Waking up; breaking out... This is what it's like to be free. Rip it up; tear it down... This is what it means to be free.

Waking up; breaking out... This is what it's like to be free. Rip it up; tear it down... This is what it means to be free.

One step to calm the storm inside you; Unlock the secrets in your head. Not another day; no more, confusion... No more living like we're dead.

It seems it's just out of sight! Those with answers always get their way! But I think they should know, That we're coming for them! (Now!!)

I can't remember, anything at all... I've been turning it all around.

I'm sorry, oh so sorry... Is this what I have become?

It's been a long rough road, and I'm finally here. I move an inch forward; it feels like a year. Everything I'm feelin' seems so unreal-- Is it true? Is it true?

I take one step forward and two steps back; Got a hundred thousand pounds sittin' on my back. Up, down, all around; don't know quite what to do, to get through.

(No!)

(Follow my heart! Follow my heart! Oh yeah!) (Follow my heart! Follow my heart! Oh yeah!) (Follow my heart! Follow my heart! Oh yeah!)

I guess I'm moving all right and I'm on my way, Facing every moment every day-by-day. Take a chance; sleep a while; take some time for it to [?],  <(Probably wrong) And get straight; and get straight.

What will I become if I don't look back? Give myself a reason, for this and that? I can learn, I'll return, I will stay right here, Where I'm at; where I'm at!!

But I'm on my way! (On my way!) (On my way! On my way!)
