Shadow was up in one of the buildings with a chao that they have elected king in their garden. He was watching Sonic and Tails argue over what game system was better: GameCube or Xbox...
"That wound will never fully heal..." Shadow said. "He might suffer eye gouging from it, but no one really cares about that..."
"Shadow, you're not listening..." The Chao King said. Shadow looked over at him and crossed his arms. "The Chaotic Emerald can not stay here!"
"And why not?!" Shadow asked, extremely loudly.
"If Gerald sends his forces here, there will be no one here to protect us."
"You only live eight hours anyway so what's the dif?" Shadow was staring outside again.
"Shadow, focus!" The Chao King snapped. "You tell me that Eggman has betrayed us and now he and his grandfather are producing enough forces to attack the whole planet."
"It's called 'Middle Earth' in these types and story and yes..." Shadow walked up to him.
"Then who is left?"
"Not much..." Shadow said thinking.
"How about the pizza guy?" The Chao King suggested.
"No, he can't get here within 30 minutes to save his life."
...
...
"The Humans?"
"No, they failed last time..." Shadow said. "They fail every time when we are involved or don't even try at all."
"Name one..."
"All the Sonic games perhaps, you never see the humans trying to help." Shadow said as walked back to his original spot. "And when this whole mess started..." The Chao King looked confused.
"What are you talking about?"
"I was there, when Gerald Robotnik created it. He was turning mad; Maria's death was weighing heavily on him and I not talking about all that chocolate he ate while he was depressed."

"Doctor please..." Shadow pleaded.
"What?" Gerald mumbled, looking at Shadow with a chocolate bar in his mouth.
"Stop this creation now before it's to late..."
"No! They must all pay! Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
"How much?"
"Five bucks a head..." Gerald went back to work as the prison guard walked up to the gate. He watched the doctor for awhile. "Finally, it's complete! The object that will destroy the world!" The guard realized what the doctor was creating and tried to stop him. Shadow slipped out of the gate and watched from the other side. After they struggled, the guard took the emerald and left Gerald in his cell.
"Follow me..." Shadow led the guard out to the docks. The floating island, Angel Island, landed there. Knuckles jumped onto the docks and went to the store. Meanwhile, Shadow lead the guard to the Master Emerald where Shadow learned is could be destroyed. "There place it upon the Master Emerald."
"No..." The guard said.
"Do it!" The guard just shook his head and left.
(Back to the Chao King and Shadow)
"I was capture by the military and encapsulated after that... It should have ended that day, but Gerald's legacy was left to endure." Shadow saw the Chao King sitting on the floor watching him with big eyes.
"Wow... Tell another?"
"WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP THAT?" Shadow yelled.
"Sorry..."
"We need to focus on what has to be done... Now is there anybody we missed?"
"There is one who could have lead an ancient echidna race, but he passed and was chose exile to guard the Master Emerald instead..."
"Wander, that could be?" Shadow said, starring out the window.
"Shadow?"
"Hmm?"
"What is so interesting out there?"
"Look out there and you'll see..." The Chao King walked over and peeked out the window.
"Holy mother of the cranky monkey of the chimpzchimpz! This place looks like New Zealand!"
"That wound will never fully heal..." Shadow said. "He might suffer eye gouging from it, but no one really cares about that..."
