Episode 25: A voice from the Past
The battle for the Earth was like no previous war ever fought, and not because of the new technologies being used and the new enemies being fought. It was the sheer scale of it all that baffled people on the planet's surface below. Millions of people all over the worlds watched their television screens as a thick battle began descending through the atmosphere towards the ground. The entire G.U.N fleet Vs the Machine Federation and their Black Arm Allies. The sky above North America was alive with laser fire as the two fleets exchanged blows. Everywhere, charred remains of ships began falling like rain, crashing down on towns thankfully already evacuated. As they fought, the ships were descending further down towards the Earth and very soon it became clear that the war was going to reach ground level before to long. Mass panic gripped the entire world as people began running from the cites as fast as they could hoping to find safety in the surrounding countryside, but with a battle this big, it wad doubtful there really was a safe place left on Earth.
The Black Arm mother-ship broke through the cloud bank of a thick thunderhead, a colossal metal leviathan emerging for the entire world to see, quickly followed by the rest of the ships. Flashes of red darted through the clouds like lightning flashes, blood spilled by the intense fighting it seemed.
"This technology is incredible." Chuck began in awe at the corridors they walked through. "It must have taken centuries, thousands of years to develop stuff this advanced."
"It did." Jalios, the Alien that had helped free them for the Black Arm brig stated as they reached a closed doorway. A metal door, engraved with veins it seemed bared their way.
"Ok, time for answers." Okida stated, stabbing a finger at her. None of their companions had any reason to. So far, her kind hadn't been exactly helpful.
"We have no time." She argued, pressing her hand against a panel on the side of the door. "By now the fleet will have moved down into your planet's atmosphere."
"Make time." Knuckles remarked, raising a fist suggestively.
"We aren't moving another step until you tell us what this is all about." Amy added in, her hammer resting on her shoulder. The alien female sent pleading eyes to Sonic to reason with them, but the blue hedgehog just stood there with his arms crossed. He to was dying to hear this. The freed crew of the Blue Typhoon was hiding in one of the side corridors. Right now, the aliens manning the Mother ship were a little too preoccupied with the battle raging outside to bother with a few escaped prisoners.
"You are from planet Feson aren't you?" Cosmo remarked suddenly her eyes alight with revelation. Her statement earned her a few consumed glares. "I remember now. My kind has met this race before. They are called Fesonian, from the planet Feson; a dense ocean world about several galactic spiral arms away from yours." The Black Arm glared down at the small girl and recognised her species.
"You are from Maginaryworld?" The young seer nodded.
"Ok, you're from some place called Feson; that we get." The major added in, getting a little impatient. "Doesn't explain what you're doing here."
"You said something about being hunted?" Sonic began, remembering something Jalius had told him.
"Yes. We are the Black Arms, a separatist group from the Confederate army. We wander space trying to avoid them, looking for a place we can finally stop running." She explained; a hint of reluctance in the computerized voice from the ring around her neck.
"What happens if they catch you?" Chris asked. The alien lowered her head, her eyes blinking horizontally several times.
"They exterminate us. They believe diversity in their culture is wrong, so they pursue us on what you might consider a religious crusade in an effort to wipe us out. All of us, down to the smallest hatchling." Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet shook violently. The battle had reached the Mother-ship and by the way it seemed the entire vessel was shaking, it had to be one intense fight. "We don't have time for these questions. We have to get to your ship and leave."
"Just one more question." Knuckles began. "Now just why are your people helping the Metal X?"
"I've already told you. Metal Sonic promised us asylum once he conquered the Earth. We were desperate and Commander Rikoye thought we had no choice. We had barely managed to escape a Confederate army when we happened upon this system. A signal was sent from the planet you call Mars and Metal Sonic was waiting for us." She paused for a moment, her tail swishing out behind her. "He offered us the help of the Machine Federation to hide ourselves here. The Confederate army would pass by and never know we were here." The ship shook again, this time with far more strength, knocking several less balanced people in the group over.
"Man, they must be really going at it out there." Tails remarked. There was a shunting noise and the door rose up out of the way, revealing another chamber beyond. A huge room that seemed to do on for some distance, a high roof hidden in darkness above like a night sky blanketed the whole thing. This was some sort of holding area it seemed, and being held there was the Blue Typhoon. This was where the Black Arms had stashed their ship once they seized it.
"It's still in working order." Jalios told them. "We didn't consider the equipment on board to be much of a threat so we left it where it was." Tails rubbed his hands together, a small smirk on his face.
"I know this won't come out right, but I'm, glad you think so little of us." He stopped, realizing something. "Wait, we don't have a power source for the ship anymore. Eggman stole the Master Emerald and Metal Sonic has the six we collected."
"Out technology runs on Chaos energy." The female Black Arm explained. "We have our own sources of it. I can provide you with one of these."
Outside the battle raged on and the fight had moved downwards towards the Earth's surface. By now, the ships were exchanging blows inside Earth's atmosphere, the blackness of space melting away replaced by a thick sky blue. Further down the ships fell, smashing against each other for all they were other, knocking dozens of vessels on either side out of the air to send them spiralling down towards the ground in flames. Dragons, the Black Arm genetically engineered fighters where filling the air in thick numbers, latching onto the G.U.N ships and slashing away at them for all they were worth. Several other flying reptiles, a lot bigger than the others; had two sets of wings instead of one and far longer necks, a large filling running up the top of it from the snouts. These were a special kind of fighter developed especially to deal with vessel of sufficient size. And they decided to go after Giant Wing itself in force.
Twisting like snakes in the air, they soured towards the G.U.N masterpieces, claws already outstretched ready to shred. Once they got to within a certain distance, the Giant wing defences already present on the flying fortress opened fire. Several of their number were caught in thick streams of bullets and cut to pieces instantly. Those that made it through managed to get to the runways that ran across the outer edge of the vessel. There, they had to deal with the Flying Dog Mech's that was ready for launch. G.U.N hadn't done a lot of developing when it came to the air force, so they were left with out outdated Flying Dog's to deal with the airborne enemy. That didn't mean however that they couldn't use other, ground based more advanced Walkers. A row of Turtle Mech's stood on a platform a little higher up, using their artillery to strike at the Metal X ships nearby. Yahger and Raptor Walkers had jets that allowed a degree of flight, but were those were useless in this kind of fight. Instead, they were confined to the ships they stood on, blasting away at anything that got close enough.
Breaking through the G.U.N lines went the Black Arm mother-ship, heading on a direct course towards Giant Wing, hoping to strike hard at the resistance here and crush it.
At the last second however, there was a large explosion from the underside of the alien titan and fragments of metal began raining outwards as a giant hole was opened in its underbelly. A second later, another ship emerged from the hole, flying out to take part in the fighting. Charging its way through a multitude of ships came the Blue Typhoon, all forward cannon's blazing ploughing the road, Metal X ships catching fire as the projectiles tore through their hulls.
"What? Them again?" Metal Sonic demanded, spotting the ship souring back his own, charging forward with no signs of stopping. How the hell had they gotten their ship back? Anger quickly consumed the robotic hedgehog. This game had gone on for long enough. It was time to end this once and for all.
"Metal Sonic's noticed us! The Behemoth's closing in!" Okida stated, glancing back at the Metal X flagship closing the distance between them, its colossal shape ripping clouds open as it soured forwards, breaking free of the fighting of the fleets.
"That's it! I'm done running from that thing!" Sonic remarked, smashing a fist into an open palm.
"So am I." Tails added with a smirk on his face, throwing the controls down. The Blue Typhoon swung above in mid air and soured back on the collision course with the galleon like spaceship.
"Ready all cannons." Metal Sonic commandeered to the bridge crew and instantly on the deck of the ship, turrets began rising upwards; their top halves rotating around so the barrels had a clear shot. The leader of Metal X sat down in his throne as a screen lowered from ceiling, a targeting display already on it. Just because he wasn't going to kill them with his bare hands, didn't mean he would be deprived of the pleasure of finishing them himself.
Back on the Typhoon, the troop door on the large triangular front opened up and the Turtle Mech onboard rose upwards unto the air, its artillery cannon already primed for use. Standing on the tip with one hand on his hip was Sonic himself, staring at the approaching Behemoth with a steadfast smile on his lips, the green eyes alight with excitement and anticipation.
"Ok Sonic, now or never." Major Okida remarked from the cockpit of the Mech, priming the firing sequence. Sonic's smirk widened and then he slammed dunked himself down into the barrel of the artillery cannon, curving himself into a ball, the perfect bullet shape.
"You're not getting away this time." Metal Sonic remarked to himself as every cannon on the Behemoth began to lock on. A pedestal rose out of the ground to stand before him, a large flat control pad waiting for orders on the top. The robotic hedgehog trailed his hand over it and began typing commands, readying the ship to open fire with all the ammunition it had onboard.
Sonic started spinning; his curved body generated intense amounts of static electricity in his quills. Blue and gold sparks began leaping out of the cannon and the power level began to build up. The entire Mech seemed like it was glowing bright yellow. Usually this was the point they would fire, but instead they let the energy continue to climb. The Behemoth wasn't like the General's of Metal X. A lot more was required to take this thing down. The entire Blue Typhoon began to shake as the glow around the Turtle Mech changed from yellow to royal blue, before gathering at the tip of the artillery cannon, culminating for the blast.
With a deafening roar, the cannons of the Behemoth opened fire, an intense barrage of missiles, lasers and other projectiles coming streaming forward. Any ship unlucky enough to get in its way was destroyed, be it G.U.N, Black Arm or even Machine Federation.
Finally the energy levels reached maximum capacity and the major didn't hesitated in slamming his head down on the big red button labelled; 'fire'. The shockwave resulting from the blast was immense, sending the entire ship rocketing backwards over half a mile. Sonic or something moving to fast for molecules to arrange themselves broke the light barrier, becoming a translucent shape that rippled through the air like intense head. Both attacks met head on and Sonic ploughed right through them, burning or neutralizing anything that got in his way, never slowing down for an instant as he carried on towards the Behemoth.
Metal Sonic's eyes blared blood red in intense anger, before he pressed a button on the side of his arm rest and his throne descended down through a trap door in the floor towards the escape pods on the level below. An audible crunch rang through the atmosphere as the hedgehog smashed head first into the Behemoth's front; cutting through the immense ship like a hot knife through butter. He slammed through wall after wall, level after level, robot after robot before finally crashing head first into the engines. The reactor inside went critical and an intense explosion blew the entire left hand side of the ship off, sending the smouldering remains clad in flames falling down towards the ground. What was left hung in the air for a moment, slowly being consumed by fire before finally it to begun to sink, like some ship lost at sea.
Shooting past the destruction, Sonic finally slowed down half way across the battlefield. Coming out of a super spin, he found himself falling over the deck of the G.U.N flying fortress Giant Wing, a vessel that dwarfed Metal Sonic's ship. Slamming his foot down and using the friction to slow his velocity, the blue hedgehog finally came to a stop. Leaving a carved line in the surface where he'd dragged his foot.
"Man, am I glad that's over." Knuckles remarked flatly. With Metal Sonic gone, the threat from the Metal X Machine Federation was over. Now all they had left to deal with was Dark Oak.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that." Tails replied, gaining everyone's attention. As the wreckage of the Behemoth began to fall, another vessel rose up from the ashes. It wasn't as big, but was large enough to be a considerable threat to them. This new ship was shaped like a bird, a falcon, with outstretched wings and claws as landing gear. The metallic skin was blood red on the wings and the rest was a shinning silver, gold tipped on the front and back. Standing on the left hand side wing was Metal Sonic himself, completely unharmed by the death of his Flagship. His eyes were glaring bright red at them, like two angry dying stars. Encircling his body as if they were in orbit were the six Chaos Emeralds he had taken from them. Standing behind him were the robots he'd taken form Eggman as well, Metal Knuckles, EggRobo and E1004: Theta.
There was a sudden blip and Metal Sonic turned his head, staring off towards the South. There it was again! A single blip of Chaos energy, showing the location of the final Chaos Emerald. Ultimate power was almost within his grasp.
Suddenly, his new ship swung around and soured away from the, disappearing though a cloud bank and vanishing from sight.
"Hey, where's he going?" Rouge asked, staring after him.
"Forget him, we've got more problems." Chuck announced; looking down at the radar screen the Doctor had once manned. "We've got major incoming!" Everyone onboard glanced out at the sky as the fleet's fighting each other. Giant Wing was descending through the clouds above to challenge the Black Arm Mother ship, but that wasn't what drew their attention. Advancing onto the battlefield, like an intense wall of ships was another fleet. A very familiar fleet, all the ships shaped in some way like fish.
"The Egg Fleet!" Sonic exclaimed in utter surprise as the ships began advancing forwards towards the battlefield, the reborn Whale Shark Flagship following behind them. This fleet had been Doctor Eggman's pride and joy back during the days when everything had been simpler, but G.U.N had shot that down hadn't they? That giant Flagship behind them had fallen into the bay of Station Square and G.U.N technicians had picked it apart. Yet here it was again, in all its glory, restored as if it had never been destroyed in the first place.
"Attention G.U.N and the Black Arms." The voice of the Doctor himself boomed out across the air. A second later, a holographic projection of Eggman appeared in the sky, his leering face beaming with sadistic humour. "I do hope you didn't forget about little 'ol' me. Oh for shame. Only one big shot is going to control this world, and that big shot is me. So get used to it!" His transmission disappeared and a second later, his ships began moving into attack formation.

"Oh Crap…" Vector remarked; letting his arms drop to his sides as the ground came hurtling up towards them. Emerl seemed unable to gain control of the craft's decent and if he couldn't regain that control, then they were about to plough head first into the top of a shopping mall. Trying with everything he had, Emerl pulled the craft out of its plunge at the last second and managed to keep it level enough to avoid crashing into anything else. The ship was in terrible shape and they needed to land, without burning to a crisp or being blown to smithereens in the process. They were coming down on the ruins of Station Square, left deserted after the frequent attacks and slowly being swallowed by a forest. Even if it wasn't unpopulated, landing here would cause the ship sufficient damage. The odds of them missing a building it they tried to touch down were monumentally low. Yet with a quickly diminishing fuel supply and two engines on fire, Emerl calculated that he didn't have much of a choice. He had to try.
"Wow, this is just like the fall in the Icarus." Cream told her mom, who was hanging onto Vector's arm at her side for fear life.
"This makes any roller coaster look like a piece of cake." Rei told Beck, who simply nodded once in agreement.
The Dragon crawling its way through the interior of the ship would not let up. It just kept coming, scraping it's claws against the floor as it snapped away at Fang's tail, trying to catch at least one of them. Beating it back with the tip of his katana blade, Espio managed to give Fang enough room to escape for turning invisible.
Loosing sight of it's pray, the Dragon stopped and tried to locate him again, while the chameleon leapt up into the air, spun there for a moment before coming down hard on it's neck, driving the tip of his sword down through the flesh. The neck however was simply too thick and the blow didn't do too much damage. The creature simply howled and swatted Espio off like he was a fly. Then it reared up, snapped the blade on the roof before fallowing after them again.
"Doesn't that damn thing ever die!" The weasel demanded, slamming the button that closed another door on the creature. The Dragon had carved its way through several already and they only slowed it down for a few minutes at least.
"Not without a great deal of difficulty it seems." Espio replied as the three of them, himself, Fang and Charmee kept making tracks as far away from the creature as they could. When the Black Arms created fighting monsters for their use they did not mess around. This thing seemed impervious to their attacks and resilient in its hunting. It was as if the soul mission in its life was to get them.
The ship was silently shipping towards the ground and it was now or never. Emerl had to land it now, or they were going to crash for sure. If that happened, he would fail his mission to protect Cream.
With a loud thud, the ship dropped down to the ground, rubbing it's underbelly on the street, sending the shattered wrecks of Cars flying into the air along with tones of rubble as the bow carved up the road in front of them.
The shuddered shock knocked everyone standing off their feet. Vanilla, who was hanging onto Vector refusing to let go was tugged out of her seat and onto the floor with him. Despite doing his best, Emerl could not prevent the lose of both engines on each side of the ship that got torn up by slamming into buildings.
"Whoppie!" Charmee declared, thrusting a fist into the air in excitement. This was better than a roller coaster ride for him. How many people could honestly say they'd been cascading down through the atmosphere in a burning ship hurtling towards the ground at a trillion miles an hour?
The Dragon however did not stop. With one suddenly shove, it smashed the door open and came charging after them, its jaws open wide the beast prepared to sink its teeth into their soft flesh.
"Espio, the pipe!" Fang declared, pointing to the thick pipe running across the ceiling of the corridor, part of it was hissing, showing a great deal of pressure had built up inside it.
Without a word, Espio retrieved his only remaining shuriken and Fang raised his gun, with one shot left. Both fired at the same time and at the same time they both hit the pipe. The fuel running through the pipe caught fire and that fire expanded in a single second of flames and consumed the Dragon passing underneath in a ball of intense heat.
The creature screamed in pain as it's body was quickly reduced to ash, but that scream was quickly silenced as it's throat was incinerated. The shockwave from the blast sent all three of them flying backwards to crash into the side of a wall with tremendous force.

With Chaos gripping the world, not many people seemed to care when Shadow forced the door to the Hexagon main building off its hinges. After that whole Foundation thing, the black and red hedgehog had been left with disaffection for large scale multi-million dollar organisations. Most of the building was deserted it seemed. Apparently, with a hostile fleet knocking on their door, the staff saw little point in coming into work today. The only people around were looters trying to see what they could take while the police weren't looking and they didn't seem too bothered by the presence of a four mobians.
"There's a light on." Bean remarked, pointing upwards towards the top of the building, where the executive penthouse was placed. The entire building was dark as night, the only source of light being the single light coming from the penthouse windows.
"Well, someone's home at least." Hare added. Shadow simply scowled outstretched his hand towards them. There was a bright flash of green and instantly they found themselves relocated to the top of the building, standing on a balcony just outside a pair of double doors. Shadow simply kicked the door open to reveal the room inside.
It was well furbished, clearly meant for a big wheal in the organisation. The carpet was bright red and the walls were coated in varnished pine. Apparently the looters hadn't thought of coming up here to rummage for stuff they could use. The light was coming from a single lamp placed on an old, engraved oak table. A flight of curved stairs lead up to a second floor and to several doors leading into separate rooms, one of which was wide open.
"We've been expected." Tikal remarked, staring at the table. Placed upon it apart from the lamp was a row of sandwiches. Bark, Bean and Hare, who hadn't eaten for a while didn't hesitate, they set upon it like starving dogs. The black and red hedgehog rolled his eyes and turned away as bits of bread started flying. Tikal just giggled.
"I thought you might be hungry." A voice stated. Shadow shot around, a chaos spear burning between his fingers. Standing in the doorway to one of the upstairs rooms was a human. He was into his late forties it seemed, with a thick grey moustache running under his nose. He was dressed in a simple business suit with a red tie and polished shoes. The man was mostly bald apart from a few patches of hair at the back of his head. "My name is Jefferson Ridge." He began, walking down the stairs towards them as if he as hardly concerned about the energy attack Shadow still had ready to fire. "I am President and CEO of Hexagon military industries." Shadow's hostile glare softened and he stood up straight. A moment later he clenched a fist and the chaos spear disappeared.
"You knew we we're coming?" Bark asked. The human nodded with a short chuckle deep in his throat.
"Oh I knew. You aren't the head of such a powerful and influential group without having a degree of omniscience in the world you know." By now he'd ready the bottom of the stairs. He stood over Shadow and studied him for a moment. "You must be the end result of Project Shadow." Jefferson mused, putting a hand to his chin. "Shorter than I expected."
"You knew we were coming and then you probably knew why we're here." The dark hedgehog began flatly, his tone hostile. He had little reason to thrust anything this human said. The last owner of a corporation had tried to weld him with a dark god, and this organisation already had a reputation for shady dealings. The man nodded grimly.
"Yep." He replied simply, turning and walking over towards a television screen on the far side of the room. "When my company received the global defence contract, we 'inherited' a lot of files G.U.N considered to be above top-secret. Including several files they weren't able to open as it was password protected." He sat down in a seat to face the screen, a short keyboard in front of him. He pressed a button and the computer came out of the standby mode. "Through my various sources, I was able to decipher what that password was." Shadow watched as he typed in the letters…M….A….R….I….A.
A word more than familiar to the black and red hedgehog. "What I saw in these files both amazed and terrified me. Amazed, because it shows just how small our world really is; and horrifies, because it told me that if something is not done and soon; doomsday isn't too far away." Before any of them could ask what he meant by that, the password cleared and the information inside was access. A video file was opened, showing a metal room of some kind. As sharp pang of memory hit Shadow head on. That room was familiar. He had been there before.
"July first." A voice began from the recording. Shadow shrank back. That was the voice of Prof. Gerald Robotnik. An instant later, the image of Doctor Eggman's grandfather himself appeared on the screen. "Project Shadow is currently in stasis for the incubation period, which means that I now have time to turn my attentions to other regions of my research." Shadow realized what he was looking at. This was a video diary where the Professor had documented his research at the space colony ARK. "Today begins the trail and error tests of the warp anomaly that has been duped 'Chaos Control.' It is my sincerest hope we have quick success. My granddaughters birthday is next week and do not wish to miss it on account of my work." The screen buzzed in static for a moment and the location changed as it skipped ahead to the next entry.
"July; fifth… Having to make skipped entries, but my research is demanding my time." Gerald's voice began again, a thick layer of excitement coating his tone. "Even my wildest expectations could not have prepared me for the actually results the first tests have shown." The man looked almost feverish in his excitement. "Chaos Control has proven the alternate reality theory correct. The theory goes that there are dozens of parallel realties, or dimensions running alongside our own. The molecules of their universe use the space the molecules of our universe do not and vibrate at a different frequency, rendering them invisible to us. Chaos Control can attune itself to those frequencies, allowing a…doorway of sorts to be opened." The long dead professor chuckled for a moment. "It's like something out of a comic book. Too incredible for anyone in their right mind to take seriously, but it's all real. Here, on ARK, we have a way to travel to different realties." Shadow was now more confused than ever. Was this was the Professor wanted him to see? And if it was, what could possible be so important about it? They already knew now that other dimensions existed. The screen buzzed again and time sped on.
"July: seventieth, The Foundation officials are being to nose around again. They are going increasingly suspicious of my Chaos Control research and are demanding constant updates. I'm going to have to give them something soon to keep them quiet, but I CAN NOT tell them about the gateway. I just cannot. I would be handed an incredibly powerful weapon into the hands of people who would not hesitate to use it for their own ends. And if my suspicions are correct, those ends would not be for the betterment of mankind." Painful memories buzzed in the hedgehog's mind for a moment, until he chased them out with a big stick.
"August: tenth. The reality shown in the gateway is mirror of our own. The same basic physical laws, night day, trees, carbon based life forms. Not only that, but it also seems to have Animals with human characteristics. I forget the proper term. Probes sent through have studied them in detail and shown that they have an intelligence that rivals our own. Before too long, I will attempt to make contact." It was almost too hard to imagine. But clearly Prof. Gerald Robotnik had been the first on Earth to discover the existence of its twin, Mobius in a parallel reality.
"I forget what day it is today…I've been too excited. Not only have I made contact with these remarkable creatures, but one of them has actually travelled here to us through the gateway." The Professor paused for a moment. "Ah here he is now. Care to say a few words?" The old human sidestepped to allow a mobian to enter screen. Shadow's breath caught itself in his throat. Had he not know any better, he would have sworn he was looking at Sonic. It was a royal blue hedgehog with dark, emerald green eyes. The only difference between this one and the hedgehog he knew was this mobian had a moustache. It occurred to Shadow right then and there…that this was either Sonic's father or grandfather.
"I must say Gerald, this quiet a home you have." The hedgehog began, his voice nothing like Sonic's at all. "This world of yours has great appeal. I can imagine quite a few people from my world coming here." Suddenly, the screen buzzed while one of them was in mid sentence.
"The data is over fifty years old." Jefferson explained flatly. "It corrupted over time, and parts of it even my best technicians can't retrieve." Suddenly the image came back, but a good part of the message had already transpired.
"Everything is spiralling out of my control." Gerald stated; his thick moustache hung like a wet newspaper. "Maria's condition worsens and the lizard prototype has too unstable to use. It's mind is savage and primal and the mutation had made it dangerous. I am forced to use a D.N.A sample from my friend for a second try. He is from a universe more chaotic in nature then ours and that makes his genes more than capable of merging with Chaos Energy without messy genetics operations." Shadow was hit with another revelation. Gerald had used a genetic sample from Sonic's relative to create him. No wonder the two of them looked so alike. In some strange way…they were related. "My own discovering about the true nature of the Foundation won't do me any good either." Gerald continued. "The evil that controls them has a long influence and my own is far too limited." He paused to compose himself. "The accident occurred last night. My grandson, Ivo was caught in the backlash from the gateway as my friend was sent back to his home world. Ivo was carried with him, and I have no way to retrieve the child. My son will never speak to me again." Ivo….Shadow knew that name…wait…that was Doctor Eggman's real first name wasn't it? Ivo Robotnik? And did Gerald say that was his grandson? Then…this was how Eggman was first sent into Mobius. Shadow had to take a moment to calm his mind. This tape was just one revelation after another. He doubted he could take much more.
