It had reoccurred to me again, as it did almost every day. The question I had been asking myself for more than four years now. Am I the real Shadow the Hedgehog? From what I'm told, four years ago was the anniversary of Space Colony Arc's shutdown. It was reawakened by the original Shadow himself with the help of Doctor Eggman. From there, the giant machine had pushed itself into the Earth's orbit once the seven Chaos Emeralds were applied; that would've been the end of humanity. Thankfully, Sonic the hedgehog had stepped in to stop this, with Shadow's help. In the process, Shadow had sacrificed himself using all his power combined with Sonic's to create a huge blast of Chaos Control. Shadow was believed to be dead, that is until I came into the picture. Now, no one knows if I'm the real Shadow or just one of Eggman's clones of him.
Rouge the bat awakened me from unconsciousness. I had been "asleep" in a stasis capsule inside the Doctor's base. When released, I had no memory of anything. Thus began the questions: Who am I? Why was I unconscious in a capsule deep within the Doctor's base? Am I the the real Shadow? Am I even real?
