Meanwhile in the state of California, Fort Irwin, one of the U.S.A.'s largest military bases. Night covered the sky, soldiers stayed at their posts and watched the area. In one of the tents, radar operators watched for any movement that would report anywhere near the base. One blip appeared on the radar. One of the men spotted it, "We got a unidentified target coming.'' he told the commander of the unit. "How far is it?'' then a explosion sounded outside, gunfire sounded throughout the base. Soldiers crouched on one knee and with M16's they opened fire on the target until it held up one arm and it went inside its arm and a small barrel came out grenades came from it and landed to the ground killing anything in its path.
It put the retracted the grenade launcher back in its arm, and the hand replaced it. The intruder aimed at an approaching M1A1 tank out of the intruders chest fired a red beam and once it reached the tank, the armored vehicles whole turret separated from the tank.
The menace jumped up and onto another tank with took a grenade out of its chest and threw it in the tank barrel, the tank imploded as fire rained across the ground. One injured soldier who was shot in the leg, reached the phone and called the general. The generals name was Richards. He had fading grey hair, but a great general nonetheless, age didn't matter for him. He was on his way back to Fort Irwin, he was in a Chinook a soldier gave him the radio phone "Hello?'' he answered "Sir,… this is Fort Irwin command… the base is under attack.'' he spoke into it. The general was shocked "Who attacked the base?!'' he yelled into it. The soldier was losing blood and fast "The target is…'' "Tell me the name DAMMIT!'' the general ordered The soldier crawled into a tent and stayed there "The target is..'' he said faintly. He saw a shadow crossing outside the tent and it resembled shadow the hedgehog!
The soldier saw at the opening of the tent an all metal version of Shadow, its red eyes gleaming, it had three black spikes stick up and with red at the tips, and two spikes that went down with red on the tips. The feet were the same as shadows shoes, but metal small spikes went around the wrists. "Shadow…'' the soldier spoke the metal copy retracted its hand and into a machine gun and aimed at the soldiers forehead. "The Hedgehog is the target.'' and then the general only heard the sound of bullets after that the line went dead afterwards. Finally making it to the remains of Fort Irwin, everything was in ruins, remains of soldiers bodies and destroyed tanks and fire rising from them, as well as the general spotted crashed Comanche's and apaches. He looked back at his soldiers who also surveyed the area, "Men we have a new target: I want Shadow the Hedgehog DEAD!!'' he ordered angrily.
Back in the Sinnoh league our group of heroes traveled across the land and when they crossed over a hill and in the distance was a city, with skyscrapers, and many other structures in the vast city. "Wow, about time we found some place large.'' misty commented, "Well lets go!'' they were all about to run, but shadow jumped in front of them "What's wrong shadow?'' ash asked "I got an easier way to get there.'' he said and smirked. "Everyone stand together.'' he told the group.
So everyone stood together and shadow was in front of the group he held his hand up and a bright green glow and they were gone and they all teleported in the top floor of one of the skyscrapers they saw, the one they were in was actually a hotel, the room they were in was large and had more rooms and outside was a large balcony they all explored it and found their rooms. Shadow for once felt happy, they all thanked shadow for the rooms and when night fell across the sky, they all went to sleep. Shadow instead sat on the edge of the building, he looked into the sky and then he noticed something he widened his eyes and noticed it was a missile he did a back flip away from the impact spot. This woke up the rest of the gang, they got up and gathered at the balcony and saw a figure coming. It landed on the roof. Shadow saw it. The enemy was Metal Shadow.
