PROLOGUE

It is just another ordinary day . . .until Sonic, hero of justice, is accost­ed by a secret military force code-named G.U.N.

Escaping the confines of a high-security
helicopter, Sonic leaps down into the city
streets in an effort to flee from his captors.
Suddenly, a mysterious black hedgehog
appears in front of him, grasping a Chaos
Emerald in his hands. Meanwhile, across
the globe, unexplained incidents occur
following the declaration of world con­quest by Eggman himself.

Once aware of the connection
between Shadow and Dr.
Eggman, Sonic begins his quest
to stop their evil plan, helped
along the way by his old
friends: Tails and Knuckles.

While searching for a top secret

weapon known only as

“Shadow,” the evil genius, Dr.

Eggman, penetrates the security

of a high-level military base.

Deep inside the compound, Dr.

Eggman discovers that the

weapon is actually a black hedge-

hog claiming himself as the “ulti-

mate life form,” a creature known

as “Shadow.”

Shadow invites Dr. Eggman to Space Colony ARK and

reveals the Eclipse Cannon—an enormous weapon

capable of destroying the world, more than enough to

entice the evil genius to help out Shadow in his quest

to conquer the world.

Just as they begin to revel in their plan for destruction, the vil-

lains are startled by a menacing bat named Rouge who offers

her help as well.

Thus, the plot to conquer the world begins . . .

CHARACTERS

SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG

Shadow is the ultimate life form created by

Professor Gerald Robotnik. Shadow has the

ability to use his special power, "Chaos

Control." Shadow is able to harness the
power of the Chaos Emerald to warp time
and space. After telling Eggman about the

Eclipse Cannon, Shadow encourages Dr.

Eggman to join up and help conquer the

world. But what is Shadow's real motive?

A black hedgehog who resembles Sonic

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG

The world's fastest, supersonic hedgehog

Somehow our hero, Sonic, has been mis­takenly accused by the military troops
because they think Sonic is the one who
escaped from their facility. Sonic tries to
discover the secrets of this black hedge­hog who resembles him and at the same
time he must stop Eggman's evil plan to
dominate the world.

Dr. EGGMAN

Also known as Dr. Robotnik, Dr. Eggman is an

evil scientist with an IQ of 300. A renowned

Chaos Emeralds, he plans to take care of his

lifelong rival, Sonic, once and for all.

build machines is invaluable to Sonic.

remains a mystery to them both.

Powerful and wild echidna

The guardian of the Master Emerald,
Knuckles takes his residence on the floating
