Shadow the hedgehog had walked out of the house wanting to catch a break from Rouge the bat. Rouge had sent Shadow on a quest without her to get something for her from a client. The task took three days to complete so he was really tired. He needed time alone from all this craziness.

When Shadow stepped outside he noticed that it was already dark. He didn't care so he walked out into the rain. He didn't know where he was going but he knew he wanted to be there. So he followed the wind and let his mind drift off while his body kept walking.

Shadow was just running around alone at dark with his mind somewhere other than present. He was wandering around near a forest but then was pulled back into reality and physically stopped. He heard slow movement in the bushes. He brushed it off and kept walking until he heard a quiet laugh.

He rolled his eyes and walked back to the sounds original spot. As he looked at the bushed he noticed something wight concealed in the leaves. Shadow then dig through the branches and leaves and was surprised at what he found.

Wrapped in a white blanket was a baby boy. With emerald eyes and a tan colored chest and arms. Shadow slowly took the baby in his arms and cradled the baby in his arms. He looked just like his rival Sonic the Hedgehog. He pulled the blanket down just a little and there on the tag was a name. Written neatly in black marker on a tag was the word 'Sonic' and Shadow's eyes grew wide.

He needed to see someone that might know what was going on. Shadow wrapped the baby again and balanced him in one arm while the other hand pulled out a chaos emerald. With a flash of light Shadow and the baby was gone.

The young genius Tails and the freedom fighters were in a slight panic. As the blue hedgehog was nowhere to be found. They tried tracking Sonic down but there was no luck. As they were scrabbling around to find the Blue hero Shadow appeared in the middle of the ruckus with the baby in his arms.

"Shadow what are you doing here?" Tails asked the Ebony hedgehog walking up to him.

"I think I have something of yours," SHadow announced and showed them the baby he had found.

Tails took a look at what was wrapped in the blanket. As he unwrapped the blanket a tiny tan hand grabbed his finger. Tails was wide eyed when he saw a baby version of his big brother.

"What happened to Faker?" Shadow asked Tails still holding the baby Sonic in his arms.

"Well before all this happened we were testing out a new machine. Sonic was the test subject and we thought that it would enhance his speed. Instead it made him disappear in a white light and now you've brought us a baby Sonic. We didn't know this would happen and we don't know how long it will take for Sonic to turn back to his normal age," Tails told him about to take Sonic from Shadow.

Shadow pulled back not wanting to give Tails the baby. He knew that this wasn't the best place to raise a child. He questioned what he was about to ask in his mind but was able to get it out. He pulled Tails over to the side and talked to him privately.

"How about this Tails… Let's make a deal! I get to take care of Faker while you guys try and figure out how to change him back?" Shadow asked the Tails.

"I think that's a pretty good idea! We can call you when we have figured everything out. Well good luck Shadow and take care of Sonic!" Tails told him and Shadow teleported away.
