PROLOGUE

CHARACTERS

It’s that black hedgehog that shares the all too familiar silhouette

of Sonic... he’s

Some 50 years ago, this “ army’s secret research. With no records of what transpired, his true character is shrouded in darkness and even his own memory cannot serve as a key to unlock the mystery; there is only emptiness...

“Who am I... and why can’t I remember anything?”

One day as Shadow sat trying to remember anything, he was suddenly shrouded in darkness. Out of the skies came the black creatures, calling themselves the power, they left a path of destruction in their quest to overtake the world.

As Shadow looked on, the cities were engulfed in fire and explosions as the Black Arms tattooed their presence in red... From the ashes arose their leader,

“Shadow... As you can see, the day of reckoning will soon be here. Find the SEVEN Chaos Emeralds and bring them to me as promised.”

Perplexed by the dark figure who somehow knew him by name, Shadow was left wondering what clues Black Doom holds to his past and what was meant by “ moment of silence, Shadow’s puzzled expression quickly changed into that uncanny sneer... as he realized what he must do to recover his past.

“If he says he knows the truth about who I am... then like it or not, I have to believe him. The only way I’m going to get the secrets to my past is to get those Chaos Emeralds!”

Shadow the Hedgehog.

Ultimate Life form” was the result of the

Black Arms. By their sheer numbers and

Black Doom...

the day of reckoning.” After a

The black hedgehog who resembles Sonic. With his powerful body, he can easily rival Sonic’s world class speed. Shadow was created as the Ultimate Life form in a secret lab by Professor Gerald Robotnik. Everything else about Shadow’s past is a mystery. After risking his life to save the planet with Sonic, he suffers from amnesia, having no memories of his past.

The world’s fastest hedgehog whose supersonic speed is second to none. He strives to live according to his own rules rather than for the sake of heroism or duty. Until now, he’s been busy stopping Dr. Eggman’s preposterous ambitions, but this time, he is motivated more than ever to take on the alien invaders, Black Arms.

Thus, the adventure of Shadow to uncover the mysteries of his

forgotten past unfolds. Once again, the chase for the

Emeralds

including that mad genius,

intertwines with the full cast of Sonic and his friends,

Dr. Eggman.

Chaos

CHARACTERS

Black Arms, the mysterious alien army that suddenly appeared in the sky bringing darkness and destruction to the world. Black Doom is the leader who is in total control of the alien army; while Doom’s Eye is Black Doom’s third eye that helps guide Shadow to the Chaos Emeralds. Where are they from? And why are they searching for the Chaos Emeralds? More importantly, how do they know Shadow? Their dark purpose will be revealed as Shadow discovers his true identity.

Dr. Eggman is an evil scientist with an IQ of 300. As usual, he is plotting to take over the world and his plans for the ultimate utopia, Eggmanland, are in full swing. He considers the Black Arms, who rely on massive destruction to intimidate the world, a prime threat that could interrupt his master plans.

Professor Gerald is a renowned scientist, regarded as the most intelligently-gifted researcher of all time. Maria is the professor’s lovely granddaughter. Fifty years ago, his top-secret government project to create the Ultimate Life form was deemed too dangerous and a threat to mankind, and as a result, they eliminated everything related to the project, including the staff. Even Maria, who was like a sister to Shadow, fell victim to this conspiracy.

CHARACTERS

The highest-ranked commander of the GUN (Guardian Units of Nations) federation forces. With complete confidence and an iron will, he is the cornerstone of the force. He is known for his “heart of stone,” and remains totally unshaken even as the Black Arms attack the planet under his watch. For reasons known only to him, he harbors a deep hatred of Shadow. He is one of the few who knows the secret of Shadow’s past.
