Prologue:

In 2001, a mysterious figure appeared and made a permanent Impact on a small handful of individuals, while remaining almost completely unknown to the world at large. Shadow the Hedgehog was a man torn apart from inside. Created to be the ultimate lifeform, he was forgotten by the world for 50 years. Upon his release from a G.U.N. military prison he manipulated the evil scientist into awakening a super weapon, not to rule humanity, but to destroy it. It was only by the bravery and compassion of another young Hedgehog saw the error of his ways, and found the strength to change. On that day, Shadow The Hedgehog, The Ultimate Life Form, sacrificed himself to save humanity from his own evil machinations, and died a hero.

Years have passed, and it seems Shadow has returned. But has he returned as the hero he died as, or the villain he lived as?
