PROLOGUE
PROLOGUE
It’s that black hedgehog that shares the all too familiar sil-
houette of Sonic... he’s Shadow the Hedgehog.
Some 50 years ago, this “Ultimate Life form” was the
result of the 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 Black Arms. By
their sheer numbers and 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, Black Doom...
“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 “the day of reck-
oning.” After a 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!”

CHARACTERS
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
Chaos Emeralds intertwines with the full cast of Sonic and
his friends, including that mad genius, Dr. Eggman.

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.
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 attacks 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.
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.
