Prologue:
It was silent. Almost eerie and not one living soul was moving. But then a shadow floated over the floor and the black and red flashes moved over to the central computer and began searching for something. Red eyes flickered over dusty keypads and with a quick hit on the monitor the screen buzzed to life.
'ACCESS DENIED' The robot-like replica of a female voice broke the silence.
"Now, how was it….?" A voice, a bit raspy from not being used to speaking mumbled lowly to himself.
Outside the big glass windows stars sparkled and from a great distance, the planet called Earth could be seen. He was alone in this place. The place called the ARK.
"Now I remember…." His fingers, clothed with white fabric, flow over the worn-out letters on the keyboard.
'KEYWORD ACCEPTED' Again the metallic voice ran through the speakers and bounced against the walls, making a slight echo
"I'm in." The flaming red eyes browsed through the unused files and finally came to what he looked for.
With a click on the icon on the screen he opened the message. The eyes grew wider for each line he read.
'Shadow. Are you still hiding aboard the ARK? Have you forgotten the destiny my brother gave you? What you left on Earth? I have waited for you but you never show up. My dear hedgehog, I want to make a deal with you but it seems that you still have some faith in your so called friends here on Earth. I have one right here you see. A red one. Pretty strong too. But he's no match for my dark power. I know you know this echidna. What was his name……ah, yes. Knuckles I think. Don't you want him to live? We can get to an agreement if you want. Come to Angel Island Shadow and I won't hurt him more than necessary.'
Clicking down the message, Shadow the Hedgehog wet to the enormous window viewing to outer space. His crimson eyes flared with a sparkle that no one ever had seen.
"Damn it! Who is that guy?!" He clenched his fists into tight balls. "And if what he says is true, he's got Knuckles and if he's got the Guardian, he's probably got the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald too!"
A thought flashed through his mind and he dashed out of the room and ran through the empty corridors of the space-station. He stopped in front of a door witch was tightly locked. It could only be opened if you had the right key. Not even an exact replica could open the door. Shadow took out the key from its hiding place and put it in the lock and opened the door. With a sight of relief, Shadow took down his own red Chaos Emerald.
"So he don't have them all….interesting." Shadow said to himself. "Maybe if I go to Earth I'll get to know more."
With that he took the sparkling Chaos stone and begun the short walk to the hangar where the space-shuttles were kept. Choosing one that didn't look to old or damaged, Shadow opened the small spacecraft's door and went on the journey through the dark vacuum-filled space to his destination.
Earth.
