While Sonic and the others were formulating a plan of attack upon the G.U.N. base where Project Aozora No Knife was situated, Shadow and Amy were formulating one of their own. Although Sara and Shadow had practically shared the same vision, Shadow was 100% certain that the being was being held somewhere on the now charred Prison Island. Seeing as he had a better sense of it, she allowed him to formulate a plan of entry and exit.

Having listened to Shadow's pleas to stay in bed, and with some help from Sara's special ointment, Amy's poison ivy wound healed miraculously overnight. To her surprise, it had swollen down to only the mere scratch that it had once been. And further more, the clothes that Sara had laid out before suited her well. They made her look older than her true age and even a bit taller, just about Shadow's height.

She walked over to Sara and Shadow, who were in the cottage's study. Both seemed to be having a bit of an argument about the entrance formation.

"I think we should go under with as little attention as possible."

"True. But we'll still draw attention to ourselves. That island blew up a week ago. No doubt there'll be backup G.U.N soldiers swarming it."

"But the entire situation is a delicate situation within itself. We need to approach this with the greatest of care. Which means no senseless bloodshed…"

Both hedgehogs finally took notice of Amy, who had been standing in the room for a few minutes. Shadow spoke up. "Amy", he asked in his usual coldness, "Do you agree that we should get through with any means necessary?" The sakura-colored hedgehog shook her dismay with the question. "I think Sara is right. We only need to use force when necessary. And besides, I'd think you'd want to avoid any type of force. If G.U.N catches on that you're still very much alive, who knows what those lunatics might do."

"Shadow, I agree with Amy", stated Sara. "After what you told me about their treatment of you, I don't think you'd like the idea of being in an endless sleep again. 50 years of sleep sounds…long."

"I guess you're right.", he finally agreed. "But what I wouldn't give to get my hands on the bastards responsible for…" Sara placed a hand on his shoulder. "The memory may hurt. But the best we can do is move on…"

He arose with his back turned towards the both of them. "Let's move out. he commanded. As both of them left, tears fell from his crimson colored eyes. "Maria…I wish could have saved you. But you asked me in my dream to do something for you. I won't let you down…"

 Amy ran back into her recovering room to retrieve her hammer, while Sara ran into her medicine closet and grabbed a few plant leaves she thought would be helpful. Then she ventured outside to gather a young branch from a tree that she had known from when the island was first created. She kept it close to her heart, as a token of good luck on the journey she was about to undertake. She stepped back into her house, gave Rai a hug and told him to watch over the island during her absence before going for her staff.

With Kendo staff in hand, she walked back in to rejoin Amy and Shadow, who upon falling from the A.R.K. had managed to somehow hold onto the 7th Chaos Emerald. "I always wondered what Chaos Control was like", said Amy. After seeing Shadow do it once before yesterday, and on their previous adventure, she was very much fascinated by it. "You're going to love it then", he said with a grin. He glanced over towards Sara. "You have everything you need?", he asked curiously. She gently tapped on her sack. "Food rations and healing herbs. Plus this." She held her staff up high. "Let's dash!", yelled Amy. The older pair just blinked. "Uh…never mind.", she said sheepishly.

Shadow asked both girls to hold onto his free arm. In the other arm, he held the green Chaos Emerald above their heads. "CHAOS CONTROL!!!", he yelled with every ounce of strength he had. They all began to glow within an eerie white light, slowly fading away until a bright flash of light came and went to reveal they had completely disappeared.
