Author's Note: This takes place in the movie continuity with some elements of the games thrown in there. So that is why some things aren't game accurate, because this is mainly movie continuity. Ok, on with the show!

Hello. My name is Shadow The Hedgehog. I was created 50 years ago by Dr. Gerald Robotnik on a government research facility called the ARK. Maria, my adopted sister took care of me on the ARK. The government decided to pull the plug on Gerald's experiment, which was me. Maria had sent me down to Earth in a capsule to protect the planet, and I landed in the city of San Francisco, California. There I had to fulfill Maria's promise and protect this damn planet. THIS IS WHO I AM!
