Shadow looked down on his new Shadow Walker. Shadow Walker was the new name for his shoes. They were now compatible with other skate-type extreme gear. G.U.N. has recently discovered a special ring with special powers that allows people to teleport from shadow to shadow. They drained some of its power and made it into another ring, attaching it to the Shadow Walker.
"These seem to fit me well, actually," Shadow says as Rouge comes in.
"Oh please. Maybe your name. They would fit me best, but I got my own shadow-teleporting gear now. G.U.N. transferred some of the shadow energy into my new yacht named The Pinkheart Glider. And since Omega is now on a so-called 'vacation', they put a few power-house upgrades into my gloves and Pinkheart Glider. We needed another power-type. So now I'm going to the training room to test these babies out! Commander's orders, actually. What about you?"
"I'm going to the training room too so I can see how could this Shadow Walker will do through shadows and grind rails. Maybe even grind rails IN shadows?"
"Stop thinking so much! Now come on." Rouge started walking towards the training rooms. When the two g.u.n. agents got to the room, there were 6 doors: Speed, Speed-Fly, Fly, Fly-Power, Power, Speed-Power. "Cya when I'm done." Rouge glided into Fly-Power. Shadow stepped into Speed.
There were grind rails everywhere along with alot of WALLS, but not many pieces of road. Shadow looked up to see a glass screen with a G.U.N. soldier in it. He commanded Shadow to go to the starting line for the one-lap test. He raised his thumbs, which meant 'Go', and Shadow's Shadow Walker turned on and he sped through the first piece of road.
He sharply turned to the left only to see a wall. He, instinctively, jumped into the wall, going into the shadows. He opened his eyes to see himself going through a void of darkness, spiraling from one end of light to the other. Shadow's vision blurred of a bright flash. His vision finally adjusted and he was on the other side of the room, speeding on road again. He saw another grind rail and jumped onto it. It led him to three loops, letting him enjoy the feeling of the wind forcing past his fur. Shadow realized the grind rail led straight to the ground! Suddenly darkness engulfed him, and he noticed he was going through a tunnel. A tunnel of shadows. A little curve. There WERE grind rails in shadows! But how... Instantly Shadow realized he wasn't in the shadows anymore. He hopped off the grind rail onto another piece of road. He was at top speed too. Then he realized there was a sharp turn! It was too late for a turn or else he would crash. He hopped and was actually running among the actual wall! When he made the turn he hopped off. That surprised Shadow of how much the Shadow Walker could do. But could it do even more than anyone could think possible..?
Shadow was finally done with the race. The G.U.N. soldier was taking notes until he finally gave a thumbs up to Shadow. Shadow nodded to the G.U.N. soldier as the soldier walked away to another room. Shadow's shoes went back to normal and he walked out of the training room, seeing Rouge there too.
"Does it work well?" Rouge asked.
"Better than the shadows themselves," Shadow said.
