A villainous team of Shadow, Rouge and Omega. Skill and concentration is required to endure heavy battle.
Treasure hunter Rouge, who flies all over the world in search of precious jewels, one day hears that Dr. Eggman is accumulating a massive treasure collection. She immediately heads for Dr. Eggman’s headquarters to liberate these riches, but discovers the base abandoned with all the valuables gone.
However, she comes across a stasis capsule that to her surprise houses the figure of Shadow. Far from being deceased as everybody thought, he was indeed very much alive, but unconscious. In order to release Shadow from the capsule, Rouge switches on the facility's power, unintentionally reactivating the final E-Series robot Omega. Shadow wakes to find his memory gone, unable to recall why or how he went into stasis.
Omega, on the other hand, was rather upset about Dr. Eggman shutting him down. Mistaking Shadow for one of Eggman’s robots, he immediately starts to attack him.
Rouge steps in to break up the fighting, and reminding them both that their enemy is Eggman, the three shook hands and the team was formed.
“Yeah baby!" announces Rouge. "That makes us a team! Let’s go find Eggman!”

Charmy is thrilled by the offer, but Espio remains sceptical due to the strange nature of the communication. Boss Vector, with dollar signs in his eyes, wastes no time in gathering his troop together to take hasty advantage of the opportunity.
