Sonic and Shadow were racing with each other as usual, speeding through Seaside Hill's eastern part, going right through the tropical foliage as they emerged on the sandy shore, passing by several vacationing Nokis on the beach. Sonic pushed Shadow into a nearby sand pit, laughing as he took off. Shadow growled as he emerged from the pit, pulling out a yellow Chaos Emerald.
"So, you'll resort to cheating, huh?" Shadow remarked as he raised the emerald. "Time for a change of pace... chaos control!"
Suddenly, all of time froze as everything turned the opposite color. Shadow started walking, going around the right bend and approaching Sonic, who was frozen in his tracks. Shadow then grabbed a grassy vine nearby and attached it around Sonic's right leg, snapping his fingers as time reverted back to normal. Sonic screamed as he fell face first on the grass, with Shadow chuckling, folding his arms as he closed his eyes.
