"Please don't shoot me!!" cried a woman. "I'm an executive!"
"Like I care," said Shadow. –shoot-

"G.U.N. Commander, sir," said a subordinate, "there have been reports of Shadow the Hedgehog harming civilians."
"What does that have to do with Maria's death?" said the G.U.N. Commander.
"Nothing, but people are dying and…"
"If only Maria were here, she'd know what to do at a time like this."
"If she's a decent person, then she'd be trying to stop a shooting Shadow."
"Then let's stop him, for Maria!"
"Or for the dying citizens."
"Maria."

"I've quit smoking and my life has turned for the better!" –shot-
-your dark meter is full-
"Excellent," said Shadow. "CHAOS ANGST!"
A huge blast emitted from Shadow. Everyone in the surrounding area was emonized.
"That's it, I'm going to cut myself!" said a blast victim.
The G.U.N. Commander approached Shadow with reinforcements. "Shadow, why are you doing this!?" he yelled. "And what does this have to do with Maria?"
"None of these people…" Shadow started, "will tell me my past, so they will be eliminated!"
"Don't you already know your past?"
"…I want to know my future, and none of these people will tell me, so they shall perish." Shadow loaded his Machine Gun.
The G.U.N. Commander and his forces charged forward, "For Maria!!!"
After numerous gunshots, Shadow turned out to be the victor.
"I'm one step closer to finding out the secrets of my past," said Shadow. "…er, I mean my future's present."
