Chapter One

I'm Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog. Known as the Ultimate Life form by some. Right now, i am on a mission. A mission of revenge. They took her from me. These disgusting Humans and their greed. I will avenge her. I will avenge my Maria.

As i exit the capsule that somehow opened, i come across a Human man. Rather big, orange mustache and he resides inside of a mechanical flying machine. He looks like Professor Gerald. A decendant, perhaps? Maybe i can use him to acheive my goal... "You set me free?" i ask him. He clearly looks confident. Good. "Yes." He replies. "I am Dr. Eggman Robotnik. The scientist who shall take over this planet. I must say, the way you disposed of that G.U.N Mech was extraordinary."

I sense greed in his heart. This can be exploited. "In exchange for setting me free, i shall help you take this planet over. All you need is the seven Chaos Emeralds. They can be used to power the weapon that is known as the Eclipse Cannon. You can then use this weapon for whatever purpose you seek. You can even become the master of the universe with careful use of this weapon. It resides on the Space Colony ARK." I sense a spark in his soul. Obviously, his greed is taking him over. This is the reaction i was looking for. "Show me this weapon."

After much traveling in a ship made by the Doctor, we arrive at the ARK's core, where the Eclipse Cannon rests. I then show him a demonstration of the weapon by firing the weapon at the Moon, blowing half of it up. "Excellent! To think that my grandfather made THIS! Oh man, do i owe him big time!"

I look on as i watch the pitiful man's eyes light up. He later introduces me to a Treasure Hunter he hired. She doesn't give her real name, so she has us call her Rouge. I sense something about her. She's hiding something, i just know it. Later, once we all leave to accomplish our individual objectives, i stand on one of the supporting poles of a bridge in one of the human's cities. I rush through the city, taking out military mechs as i go. They must be chasing something, but what? I later find what i'm looking for. A chaos Emerald. Obviously, it was being guarded by the military. I take it in my hands, feeling it's power react with mine. However, the moment wasn't lived long, as i'm interrupted by someone. I turn around to see a blue hedgehog, who looks exactly like me...
