Chapter 3 The Plot Unfolds

Eggman was about to try his new Regenerator on a rock."Sir,we couldn't find the last two Chaos Emeralds," an Eggman robot said."WHAT!?Oh well,five should be enough to power my machine.Plus there that echidna's Master Emerald," Eggman said.He activated his machine.A blinding light filled the room.The machine blew up from all the power it had.In place of where the rock was Black Doom is.The rock was in fact a piece of him."YOU!" Eggman shouted."Listen,I know we've had our differences,but if we work together..." "We could conquer the world," Eggman said."Precisely but,there is one more person who can help us.But she is dead," Black Doom said."Then how are supposed to bring her back?" Eggman asked."We go to the moon.There lies a staff that has unlimited power," Black Doom said."Right we'll take my Egg Genesis.But you better right about this," Eggman said.He took his five Chaos Emeralds with him.

All was peaceful in the Moon Kingdom.Eggman and Black Doom were plotting how to steal Queen Serenity's staff.The Egg Genesis shot knockout gas at the palace.Eggman stormed the palace stealing Queen Serenity's staff.It turned silver and metallic and had the Eggman symbol on top of it as soon as he grabbed it.Back at the Egg Genesis the villians were happy."Now give me the staff," Black Doom commanded.The staff turned all Black Arms-like as soon as Black Doom held it.He transported them to the Negaverse,and then brought Queen Beryl back to life."Thanks for reviving me Black Doom," she said."Yes,but now on to more important matters.Is he ready?" Black Doom asked."Let's find out," Beryl said.The villians went to a capsule in a far corner.Queen Beryl checked to see if what was inside was ready to come out."Almost ready," she said."Robotnik,place your Chaos Emeralds in the consoles," Black Doom said.He did so."Now how are we going to conquer the world?" Eggman asked.The villians of course spent a lot of time plotting.

Sub-Chapter Dreams of an Absolution

(Dreams of an Absolution performed by Lee Brotherton plays)It was night and Amara and Shadow(in human form) were taking a walk.An Eggman robot(the Egg Snake) appeared before and scanned them.It then went into assault for the Chaos Emeralds.Shadow grabbed and held Amara in her arms as he skated away from.He came to the harbor where he gave the Egg Snake the slip.It fell into the water but that didn't short circuit it."Great I'm stuck in this human form and your attacks won't do much to that machine.But,I promise I will protect you," Shadow told Amara."Thank you," Amara said.Shadow nodded.He skated away from the Egg Snake but still kept in pursuit."Do you think you'd be able to destroy it's power source from inside?" Amara asked."Probably," Shadow replied.He stopped an the Egg Snake engulfed them.They headed towards it's power source.When they were at it Shadow started punching and kicking at it.He did the most he could with his diminished strength and it was enough.The Egg Snake started to blow up from the inside.Shadow once again held Amara in his arms,skated out of there and made it.They then went back home.(Dreams of an Absolution ends)

Ever since Michelle first saw Shadow she couldn't get him out of her head.She eventually came to the conclusion that she fell in love with him.Shadow(in hedgehog form) was at Amara's house but she wasn't there.Michelle was there and had something to tell him."Where's Amara?" he asked."She's out running some errands.You know ever since you started hanging out with her,Amara's been dressing more like a girl and less like a gentleman," Michelle said."Guess all she needed was a man to look good for,"Shadow said.He started to head out."Wait Shadow." Michelle ran up and embraced Shadow."Shadow,I love you," Michelle cried."And what are you going to do about it?" Shadow asked.Michelle rose up."Well,I'll let you decide who want to be with.But we all know who that is," Michelle said.Shadow then left and later,so did Michelle.

"Well,I know what will make a great staller," Black Doom said.He grabbed the moon staff and opened a portal to where Sailor Galaxia.He gave the staff to Eggman."And what's this supposed to do?" he asked."Just tell the lady you see there where Shadow is," Black Doom commanded.Eggman took the portal and it closed.He ended up where Sailor Galaxia is."Who are you?" she asked."Just tell me something,have ever heard of someone named Shadow?" Eggman asked."Yes,that bastard caused me so much pain.Do you know where he is?" Sailor Galaxia asked."Even better,I can open a portal that will take you there," Eggman said.He opened a portal to Earth."Thank you," Sailor Galaxia said."Your welcome,and be sure to give him hell," Eggman said.The portal closed after Sailor Galaxia entered it.Eggman went back to the base.

It's night and Shadow(in hedgehog form) is taking a stroll with Amara."Galactica Magnum!" A blast was fired at Shadow which he managed avoid."Sailor Galaxia,why are you trying to kill Shadow?" Amara asked."Because,he's the one who destroyed my solar system.He killed everyone I knew and loved!But now,I will have my revenge," Sailor Galaxia said as she prepared her ultimate attack."This can't be," Shadow said."Oh but it is," Black Doom told Shadow.He was talking to him telepathically."Black Doom!?But I destroyed you!" Shadow yelled."I told you I would be back.Maybe this will jog your memory of what you did," Black Doom said."Ugggggh..." The pain of the dark memories paralyzed Shadow.He was remembering everything.

Black Doom had some sort of limited power source that amplified the power of Chaos Control.He borrowed Shadow from Gerald to use him to destroy Sailor Galaxia's solar system.He also borrowed some soldiers from the Negaverse to get heart crystal(they fuel the black comet).Shadow was unstoppable.When he was on Sailor Galaxia's planet he destroyed people here and there.Sailor Galaxia's mom was preparing the escape pod.Shadow then came in but she managed to flip the lever allowing Sailor Galaxia to escape from him.Her mom used an attack on him but it did nothing.He stuck his hand through her left breast,ripped her heart out and crushed it."The name's Shadow.Remember and fear it," Shadow said."MOOOOOOOM!" Sailor Galaxia shouted as she witnessed Shadow killing her mother.You can just imagine the emotional scarring from this."I promise, I will destroy him.You'll pay for this Shadow," Sailor Galaxia vowed.

Now that flashback's over.Sailor Galaxia was about to release her attack on Shadow but Amara ran up in front of him in the way of the attack."Get out of the way!" Sailor Galaxia commanded."No!" "Why are you protecting him?You know what he's done," Sailor Galaxia said."I don't care." Amara embraced Shadow."I love him." She turn back to the defensive pose she was in."So if you're going to kill him you're going to have to go through me to do it!" she yelled.Tears were dripping down her face.Sailor Galaxia saw how much Shadow meant to Amara and decided to let him go on one condition."Very well Shadow,you may live.But answer me this:Have you truly put your dark past behind you?" Sailor Galaxia asked."Yes," Shadow replied.Sailor Galaxia teleported out of there.
