It was morning. The sun slowly arising, over the hilltops of open fields among the horizon. Birds chirped, as the day had begun. The birds acted similar to an alarm clock. Shadow was laying on the grass, arms, and legs spread out, comfy asleep, until he heard the birds.

"Damn birds.." Shadow picked up a rock, tightening his grip, just about to throw it at the birds. Just as he was about to throw the rock, a helicopter came into view, a bit too close. Shadow jumped back, astonished. Shadow shielded his eyes with his arm, as the helicopter landed in front of him.
The helicopter was similar to the one that picked up sonic, from GUN, so long ago. Accept it was dark black, and had no logo. After a bit of suspense, a woman stepped out.
"Good morning, Shadow the hedgehog, my name is Rekha San, I've been hearing about your good deeds. and I'm quite interested in you." The women said, serious as ever. She was someone you could call 'very official' or maybe 'business like' or… 'a lawyer'.
"Yeah good for you" Shadow said grimly, his arm dropping to his side.
"I recognize you wouldn't cooperate with an interview. Although I came down here to-"
Shadow began walking away.
She continued without pause, "invite you to a cruise, which will lead off to a ceremony awarding you for your heroic deeds. This invitation is from the request of the president himself."
"No thanks." Shadow said still walking.
"Sonic the hedgehog along with his friends have also been invited."
Shadow ignored her and continued walking away.
"Rouge the bat has also accepted our invitation, I understand you two know each other well. If that does not yet clasp your interest, a Chaos Emerald will be prearranged--"
Shadow turned and looked at the lady, his gaze was cold, as if he saw right through you. He turned back around and ran off until he was out of sight.

"Hmmm" the lady got into the helicopter; "ALL OF those animals have no respect, sordid creatures" she noticed the pilot eyeing her for command, "follow him" she ordered.
