PROLOGUE

PROLOGUE

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

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 reckoning.” 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!”

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.

CHARACTERS

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.

CHARACTERS

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

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
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.
