# Shadow the Hedgehog (video game)

Shadow the Hedgehog is a 2005 spin-off video game based on Sonic the Hedgehog.

## Amy Rose

* Ah, Shadow, I'm so glad you're here! Cream went into this weird-looking castle and she hasn't come back out! Will you come in there with me to look for her?
* Well? Did you find her?
* Hey, look! It's a balloon!
* Oh... Where did she go?
* Hey, there are five keyholes here! That must mean there are five Secret Keys to find!
* (Battling Egg Breaker) Why can't you just leave us alone already? Shadow, bring him down!
* Just leave the robots alone!
* That sound! I think it was Cheese!
* Aah! I-I can't move...! (after gas is released during Devil Doom boss fight)
* I'm sure he's fine, Rouge, after all, he IS Shadow!

## Black Doom

* BLACK BULL! I summon you!
* Come, Black Bull! Burn this entire city and its inhabitants to ash!
* Black Bull! Show me your true strength!
* Annihilation for this planet is near... it is time to embrace the dawn of your demise and despair!
* You deliberately DISOBEYED me, Shadow!
* Behold, the wrath of Black Arms!
* The Particle Beam weapon will do gruesome things to your flesh. Watch out.
* You humans are SO pathetic.
* I transported this brilliant flying fortress to this planet over 2000 years ago... It's MAGNIFICENT! The perfect killing machine! Ready to impose terror in unimaginable ways!
* For your own sake, do not fall. Now, get going!
* Do not lose your footing.
* Why are you just standing there?!
* This is the entrance to the light pathway.
* Look to the core program!
* Those vile soldiers are still defiling our precious home.
* What is that massive electric shock?! Is that an attack from one of the battleships? (in reference to the lightning. Black Doom appears to be unfamiliar with Earth's weather conditions)
* Why? Why can you not see that the humans are the parasites of this world? Absolute control is the only way to save them. They must be eliminated! So Shadow, open your eyes, and realize, that befriending the humans was a mistake!
* I gave you life, and yet you defy me?! So be it! You shall pay for your ingraditude with relentless PAIN!
* Behold... The ARK is DOOMED!
* Ahhh, my dear offspring. EAT and devour these SAVOURY DISHES! (laughs)
* Silence! The ramifications of your disobedience will be severe!
* Now come, SHADOW! Die, along with these foolish humans!
* I give you life, and THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME. The irony of it all is I gave you life, now, I will take it back! (Floats off, laughing)
* At long last, the gas from this comet has covered this tainted world. NOW MY REIGN HAS BEGUN!! (laughs)
* Have it your way, Shadow... Be prepared to meet your maker! Your past, present and future ends here, TODAY! PREPARE TO... DIE! Say goodbye, Shadow... As you witness my TRUE WRATH!
* I will shred you to pieces!
* Very soon the gas will fill this entire planet... Face it, Shadow! You cannot change the fate of this planet by yourself!
* (Final words after being defeated) I-Impossible! I am the supreme being that rules this universe! I AM THE IMMORTAL LIFE FORM! I AM THE ULTIMATE POWER!
* Destroy those insolent fools!
* Make the humans suffer!
* Turn them into scrap!
* Well, done, Shadow.
* Yes, show them how powerless they truly are!
* Grahh... How could you possibly be able to injure me?
* Do not attack our soldiers!
* What are you doing, you traitor?!
* Shadow, stop at ONCE!
* Collecting keys will allow you to unlock certain doors.
* To open this door, you will need five keys.
* The humans seemed to have convinced you with this absurdity. Therefore, I have no choice but to kill you too!
* Then get ready to die! Let me show you the ultimate power in the universe!
* Those humans have brainwashed you and your feeble mind. Allow me to remind you of the truth!
* Now I will show you just how pitiful you inferior life forms are!
* Ugh... You traitor... Do not think that this is over!
* Gah... You... This is not over!
* Shadow... This isn't over yet... The Black Arms will rise again...
* This recovery item... Why do the humans cling to their wretched existence?
* This will remind you of what the humans have done to you.
* Shadow, let your lust for revenge give the TRUE power you need!
* Shadow... As you can see, the day of reckoning will soon be here. Find the seven Chaos Emeralds and bring them to me... AS PROMISED!
* You are late, Shadow. From now on, my eye will follow and observe you for me. Now, start by finishing off these soldiers that dare to defy me.
* Shadow... We have set a bomb that will annihilate the city. Trigger it, and the city will be destroyed. Detonate the bomb in the next few minutes, and take revenge on those humans with your own hands!
* Shadow, those humans are trying to ruin our base! Destroy those vermin once and for all!

## Chaotix
### Charmy Bee

* Hey, Shadow! I gotta ask you something. Vector told me that HE wants me to find five top secret disks... but, like, what's a top secret disk?
* Yow! There are black creatures everywhere around here!
* (In singsong) Yahoo! Whoosh! (Normally) Try not to crash, okay? This thing is way too fun!
* (In singsong) Shadow, you're so cool!
* Hey, don't drag me into this! (when Shadow attacks GUN soldiers)
* You're uh, gonna just make them madder. (when Shadow attacks GUN soldiers)
* I got it, the first secret disk!
* Yahoo! Number two!
* That's three! I'm so psyched!
* That makes four of them!! Only one more!!
* Got 'em! All of 'em!
* Check it out! A giant wooorm! (sarcastically)
* FIRE!!! Hot, hot, hot!!!

### Espio the Chameleon

* Shadow, thanks for your help earlier. Actually, I need to extract some data out from Eggman's database. Feel like lending a hand?
* That's one of the terminals that Vector told me about.
* Damn! We've been detected!
* I'm counting on you.
* All talk and no action. Typical.
* When his hammer impacts, he sends out a shockwave. Be careful.
* Don't listen to him, Shadow. Kill him now so we can get out of here...
* I'm getting too old for this...
* Hey, back off! Data retrieval isn't exactly my specialty.
* Easier said than done... who signed me up for this anyway?
* Roger that.
* An assassin perhaps?
* If you fall here... I fear there is no returning...
* And yet ANOTHER color puzzle.
* Need I remind you that we're undercover?
* (heavy breathing) Now that's what I call "lightning fast".
* What? This data is fragmented! The terminals aren't connected!

### Vector the Crocodile

* Well, well, if it isn't Shadow! Your timing is impeccable!
* Well if it isn't Shadow! We've got to make it to the computer room before this place collapses! Think you could give me a hand?
* Find the computer room!
* Bingo! The computer room!
* Hey Shadow! Let's go for a ride!
* You know, I think you made him mad!!
* Let's find that computer room and get the heck outta here!
* (When running out of time on Cosmic Fall) Ohhhh... I'm too young to die!
* Whoa! Where'd that green laser come from?
* Those GUN robots are heavily armed! Did you forget to pay your taxes or something?
* Hey, don't go there! Yet. Things may not be what they seem! You could be... (Shadow starts to walk away before Vector could finish what he was going to say)
* Ugh... Shadow! Let's finish this!
* You know, I think you've made him mad.
* Set the slot wheels to Missile or Bomb and give Eggman a taste of his own medicine!

## Cream the Rabbit

* Oh, Shadow, thank you! But Cheese wandered off into that castle, Shadow, you have to find him… please!

## G.U.N. Commander

* You can't fool ME, Shadow! This time, it's MINE!
* Damn you!
* Now what's going on?
* So he's finally decided to show himself. Attention all command units! Prepare to strike ALL incoming vessels! Mobilize Diablon!
* I don't care! We have NO other option! We MUST protect the President AND the Chaos Emeralds at all costs!
* Shadow... Damn you! It's been 50 years. Justice will finally be served.
* (to Shadow) YOU! You're the one who destroyed the ARK and killed everyone on it! It's time to settle this once and for all!
* YOU!!?
* (before facing Shadow in Sonic and Diablon after "Black Comet" Dark mission) I've waited YEARS for this! Now let's finish it!
* (before facing Shadow in Sonic and Diablon after "GUN Fortress" Dark mission) This is for my family... and for Maria! I'll settle this once and for all with my own hands!
* Take this!
* Hold still, you devil!
* Energy charge commence! Just you wait, Shadow!
* Charge complete! Now it's time to end this!
* Antimatter cannon, FIRE!
* No...! I have failed...
* It's been a long time, Shadow.
* I know you, Shadow the Hedgehog! You killed everyone I loved: my family, Maria. I've been waiting all my life for this day!
* Maria was like a sister to me. She was the only family I knew! And because of you, she was killed! Witnessing it all, the plan to create that horrifying evil creature. That black creature, and that insane professor who unleashed it all!
* You don't fool me! It's not just about Maria. Thanks to you, everyone I knew and loved was killed when the ARK was destroyed! Worst of all, my family! Finally, justice is served!
* You mean to tell me that, you REALLY don't remember a thing?
* (in Expert Mode version of "Space Gadget") Shadow, do you read me? First, I want to... apologize, for the other day... Actually, I just became a grandfather last week, and I was thinking of maybe having you over. I know that training is tough... But try and do your best.

## Dr. Eggman

* What are you doing?!? (When Shadow attacks Eggman's robots)
* Shadow, cut that out! (When Shadow attacks Eggman's robots)
* Who do you think your enemy is!?! (When Shadow attacks Eggman's robots)
* Use this teleporter to go back.
* WHAT?!
* NOOOOOOOOOO!!! (When Shadow kills Eggman in the Neutral Ending)
* Hey, Shadow! The black creatures have infiltrated my castle! I'd like you to light up those giant lanterns! They're part of my special defenses!"
* Shadow, where are you going? The giant lantern is behind you!
* I didn't know if there was an underground passage here.
* Stupid ghosts, thinking they could just haunt my cryptic castle!
* NO! This can't be happening! Shadow, help them!
* How dare they barge into the castle like this?!
* Where are you going? That'll take you outside!
* Where are you going, Shadow?!? There are still GUN soldiers left!
* Keep it up. There are still lots more left!
* Don't destroy my marvelous robot's balancing ball, Shadow. You'll ruin his fun little act!
* Shadow! Leave my things alone!
* Oh, hurry up!
* There are still GUN troops left.
* That's my Chaos Emerald! Don't you touch it!
* NO! Not my beloved battleship! Shadow, I won't forget this!
* GAH! The pillar's coming this way! Shadow! Destroy it!
* Good! You destroyed the first power source! The temple is beginning to rumble! Hurry, before this place collapes!
* That's the second one! My battleships are in attack formation!
* The weather gets a bit turbulent on the inside of the clouds!
* I wonder how my robots are doing?
* Head for the temple!
* There's no time to waste!
* Ohh, you little sneaky thief! I'll smash you to pieces!
* Now, let me show you the power of my latest, greatest creation!
* This is what you get for turning against your master.
* Lights out!
* Take this!
* AAH! Know your place, Android!
* You know what they say, the more, the merrier!
* Oh, you've asked for it! No more Mr. Nice Guy! Time to crush you once and for all! (while attacking Egg Breaker)
* All right, you asked for it. (while attacking Egg Breaker)
* How dare you! (while attacking Egg Breaker)
* Next time we meet, you won't be so lucky! Just you wait and see.
* Curses! I won't forget this!
* You haven't seen the last of me!
* The Chaos Emeralds belong to me, all of them! No one gets in my way. Those who do will be destroyed! So stand clear or I WILL crush you, just as I will those black creatures.
* Hand those SIX Chaos Emeralds to me like a good boy! You were once an invention from my grandfather's past, but this is MY time: give ME the Chaos Emeralds and I WILL spare your life.
* Hand those SIX Chaos Emeralds to me like a good boy! You were unleashed to find the Emeralds. Excellent job, Shadow, you've done well. Now hand them over!
* This is nonsense! You WILL obey me, or there will be dire consequences!
* Well, we'll just see about that. Shadow, prepare yourself!
* Very well. If you refuse to obey me, then you'll just have to deal with my finest creation yet!
* I will not allow you to defile my grandfather's legacy! Now, you will get to see the destructive power of my strongest creation yet!
* I'll turn both of you into scrap with my latest and greatest invention.
* Get ready for a real blast. It's time for Missile Fever.
* Now it's time for Bomb Fever. Get ready to be blasted into oblivion.
* Pawn Fever! Prepare to be skewered!
* Gah! No! Don't drop them here. (After Shadow triggers Bomb Fever making Eggman the target)
* No! My beautiful Rings! (Rings coming out in the middle of the boss stage)
* N-N-N-N-NO! Not Shadow Fever! (After Shadow triggers Shadow fever making him able to do Chaos Blast for a limited amount of time)
* What?! NO! This can't BE!!!!
* Those idiots! They're destroying everything! How can I take over the city and build the Eggman Empire if there is no city?! I'm at my limit, I have no choice! Send in the Eggman Fleet. CHARGE!
* Do not give the Emeralds to Black Doom, Shadow!
* That's insane!
* That can't be! He betrayed his people for research?? For Black Doom?!
* Shadow... can you hear me? This might be the last chance I have to speak to you so... what I said about having created you... it was all a lie... everyone thought you died during that horrible incident... but I rescued you with one of my robots... you lost your memory that's all... you really are the ultimate lifeform my grandfather created!
* What? W-w-wait! Abort launch! (After Shadow triggers Missle Fever which makes Eggman the target)
* How dare you! I created you! I gave you life! I gave you an order, or have you forgotten?! Idiot! Perhaps, I need to teach you a LESSON!
* Nice to see you, Shadow Android. And you too, Omega. It certainly looks as you've... well, quite a bit of damage down there. But did you really think that YOU could challenge ME?
* Why, you little... You're nothing but pieces of scrap metal! When I'm done with you, you'll be thrown in the junkyard! You will feel my WRATH!
* Say hi, and be friends.
* How dare you defy... ME!!
* I made you... and this is how you repay me?
* You ungrateful little pest... have you forgotten that it was MY grandfather who created you?
* What?
* Shadow, can you hear me? We've managed to escape from that comet. There's no need to hold back! Cause as much havoc as you need to!

## E-123 Omega

* Are you... The Original? If you are searching for Eggman, he's fleeing aboard his airship: The Egg Balloon. If you wish to confront him, then help me ground his vessel.
* ERROR! Unable to compute why a base this size has gone undetected. ERROR!
* We are here to face 'Eggman'!
* Reassess target priorities!
* Final target confirmed. Commencing combat.
* Do not concern yourself with them.
* Object airborne without use of thrust or engine components. Does not compute.
* Dr. Eggman! I will destroy you and reign supreme!
* Eggman... I will defeat you once and for allǃ
* Mission complete.
* Eggman robot, eliminatedǃ
* Shadowǃ Eggman is inside hereǃ If you have a need to confront him, then assist me in my researchǃ
* Eggman... target acquired. Locked and loaded... FIREǃ

## GUN Soldiers

* Everyone who can still move, grab a weapon and take your positions!
* The building's coming down!
* The entire city's on fire!

* Fire! Fire!

* There he is!
* Don't let him get away!
* Freeze!
* Take this!
* This'll just take three seconds.
* We have engaged the black aliens.
* Engaging the black aliens in the ruins.
* Engaging the black aliens along highway.
* Engaging the black aliens at forest area.
* Yes. The black aliens are there, too.
* These guys are monsters!
* They're too strong for us!
* They're too powerful.
* We've got them pinned down.
* Alright, just a little more.
* This is why I was against these experiments.
* The experiments are fusing together.
* They're multiplying at an extreme rate.
* Shadow is fleeing with a civilian.
* The ARK is now under our control.
* There they are! The black aliens!
* Spare me!
* Gah... Oh... Ugh!
* Mantis platoon, Heavy Dog reporting in. Primary target and the girl have been located. Acquiring targets. En route to intercept and destroy!
* This is Heavy Dog. Target has been sighted: proceeding to engage and neutralize.
* Charging particle beam cannon!
* Energy charge complete!
* Particle beam cannon, fire!
* Mantis platoon Heavy Dog to HQ, come in. Requesting emergency assistance in eliminating target.

* Prepare the tanks!
* Come on, men. Familiar terrain gives us the advantage.
* Don't underestimate GUN.
* We need assistance!
* We're done for!
* We're under attack by giant alien soldiers!
* Nobody gets away from GUN.
* Mr. Yuji Naka is all right.
* Hold the line, man.
* I can't get a lot.
* Hey, where's my bike? Has anyone seen where it is?
* They got Keith!
* They got ash!
* They're like demons!
* Is the president safe?
* We've gotta hold the capital.
* You have my thanks...
* Thank you so much.
* Hey! Answer me!
* S-s-stop! D-don't move, or we'll shoot!
* No! NO!
* No! Stop!
* Are things OK at your end?
* Hey! Answer me!
* There's that helicopter.
* The giant bomb appears to have been disarmed.
* Where's the bomb squad!?
* Black hedgehog sighted.
* Blue hedgehog spotted.
* Red Echidna sighted.
* We have spotted the batgirl.

## Miles "Tails" Prower

* Shadow!! We're in BIG trouble!! The black creatures are after the President's escape pod! We have to stop them and save him!
* Hey, Shadow, look at this! Eggman's collected Rings from all around the world and has build this theme park. What do you say? How about we take all these Rings back?
* Yes! He did it! The Black Comet is destroyed!
* That turret is so cool! I've never seen a vulcanized ceramic used for this sort of thing before.
* Shadow... I believe in you... You can do it!
* Nice moves, Shadow!
* Yeah, get 'em all!
* Hey! Cut it out!
* SHADOW, NO!!!
* There are five Secret Keys that you'll need to find in order to open that door.
* Forget about that for now! We have to drive off the black creatures, first!
* I'm afraid I've always taken sunsets for granted... I'm afraid of nightfall, tonight...
* That's it, Shadow, keep grabbing 'em!
* If you take damage, you'll lose some rings so watch out!
* Okay. We got back about half of them. Think you can get the rest?
* Almost there! There's just a few more!
* 10 RINGS LEFT!!!! Be careful!
* That's all of 'em!
* Ahhh, I'm getting dizzy!
* I can't keep my eyes open anymore!
* LOOK OUT BELOW!
* Use this to start over!
* Hey, Shadow! Wait up! We haven't gotten all the Rings back yet.

## Rouge the Bat

* I knew we could count on you.
* Guess that's why we call YOU the ultimate lifeform.
* Not bad!
* Hey, they're on our side! (when Shadow attacks a GUN soldier)
* Stop that or you’ll lose blood! (when Shadow attacks a GUN soldier)
* Stop attacking our friends! (when Shadow attacks a sonic )
* You're strong enough... I KNOW you are... (After Amy Rose's "Please, hurry!" quote)
* Shadow! (during final boss battle)
* Oh, Shadow! What a coincidence running into you here. Actually, I'm on a government assignment to track down a Chaos Emerald in the area. How about we both look for it together?
* This is a Secret Door. You need five Secret Keys in order to open it.
* He's the one behind this terrorist plot. Shadow, it's up to you!
* What? What's he talking about?! (in reference to Doom's Eye speaking to Shadow before Black Bull fight)
* Argh! Stupid walls!
* The President doesn't know how to treat his employees right!
* I hope he's OK...

## Shadow the Hedgehog

* (first lines) Shadow the Hedgehog. Why does that name haunt me? It's the only thing I can remember. And that gruesome image... [flashback on the ARK] MARIA!! [flashback ends] Who am I, and why can't I remember anything… and who is this Maria?
* Just what was that all about? If he says that he knows the truth about who I am... then like it or not, I have to believe him. The only way I'm going to get the secrets to my past is to get those Chaos Emeralds!
* Damn! Not here! (dying while airborne)
* I can't... die here. (one of the lines said when dying on the ground)
* This can't be! (one of the lines said while dying on the ground)
* Damn it! (after getting hurt)
* I will find the truth. (Using a continue)
* It's some sort of key...
* You scum! You're going down!
* Soon, this will all end.
* This is their world!
* I need five keys to open this door.
* For what promise did I make to him?
* What is this? Can this be the world's top security system?
* Mass is irrevelant in this space.
* That blue hedgehog, Sonic... Can I be related to him?
* Does he really know me about my past?
* I can't afford to waste time here.
* It looks like this highway is collapsing.
* Where's that DAMN 4th Chaos Emerald?!
* This is just too easy! Guess this is my lucky day!
* I bet no one expected this baby could fly.
* CHAOS...BLAST! (while using the Dark gauge)
* CHAOS...CONTROL! (while using the Hero gauge)
* CHAOS...SPEAR!
* (When Hero gauge is full) Behold the ultimate power!
* (When Dark gauge is full) Death to all who oppose me!
* Goodbye, Doctor! (attacks Eggman)
* Hmmm, the promised time, huh? Well, then, time to go and fulfill this promise.
* Mass is irrevelant in this space.
* Hmph. Look how pathetic they are! I don't have time for these humans. (Witnessing the arrival of the Black Arms)
* You can never control me, Black Doom. Now I understand why I am here. I made a promise and I am here to keep it. Today, I put my past behind me.
* I've heard enough! You're boring me to death, Black Doom!! You're going down!!!!
* (After Black Doom tells him how he is controlling him) DAMN YOU! NO, IT'S NOT TRUE!
* A Chaos Emerald? You've got to be kidding me, guys! This is like taking candy from a baby, which is fine by me.
* Black Doom! Your rule ends here, and it ends NOW!
* How dare you harm Maria! Disgusting humans. Out of my sight! (after defeating Heavy Dog)
* Ah... I can feel the power welling up inside me.
* Mark my words, Black Doom, these so-called pathetic humans are NOT my enemies!
* Goodbye forever... Shadow the Hedgehog... (final line)
* Hmmm. Well, what a coincidence. I'd like to know what the good ol' Doctor's up to as well.
* (insane giggle, followed by an insane chuckle, as images flash through his mind) The pieces are coming together. This "Ultimate Lifeform" they keep referring to is the black hedgehog, and he... died! And I'm its copy. I must be the android Dr. Eggman created... Then it's clear what must be done! (turns around sharply) Doctor! You're going straight to the place you created me from!
* Yes, Doctor, and you'll regret ever having created me. You're going straight to Hell!
* Did I... die? (memory)
* I'll be there, Maria! I swear, whatever it takes! I'll take care of the ARK and the Professor!
* Those heartless humans! GET OUT OF MY WAY!
* What's going on with me? I can't get these images out of my mind... those black creatures... How do they know me? Who was I before this?
* Black Doom claims to have knowledge of my past.
* Who am I?... I need to find the answer to that myself.
* For what purpose do I exist?...
* I will not be Black Doom's puppet!
* Shadow... ANDROID? Am... I... an android... TOO!?
* If what you say is true, then I will respectfully accept my fate. But I just need some time to uncover the REAL truth. (Talking to GUN commander)
* (Desperate plea to voice) Doctor! PLEASE! I need to know... those androids... the ones that LOOK like me... am I...?
* Whaaaa-?
* Piercing... the staaars... (convinced by Doom)
* Siding with them? You're joking, right? I'm the one who should be siding with whoever goes up against you! This time, you're going down, Sonic!
* (evil giggle) All right. I know what I have to do. I was born to bring order to the humans. These humans. They don't value life. They're going to pay, pay with their lives for what they've done!
* I'll stop anyone who tries to get in my way!
* Anyone who tries to get in my way will be crushed.
* Now, let's see what really happens when this temple is awakened... (after completing the Dark Mission of Glyphic Cannyon)
* I take orders from no one! I do as I decide! (after completing the Normal Mission of Glyphic Canyon)
* Their oppression cannot go unopposed! (after completing the Hero Mission of Glyphic Cannyon)
* Now you know what true suffering is, you pathetic humans. (after completing the Dark Mission of The Doom)
* Maria. I'm glad that you're safe. (after completing the Normal Mission of The Doom)
* I will protect the people of the ARK. (after completing the Hero Mission of The Doom)
* How dare you harm Maria! Disgusting humans! Out of my sight! (after defeating Heavy Dog)
* There are only two more left. I will show NO mercy to those who get in my way!!
* Now there's only one more!! Only a fool would dare try to stop me now!!
* Space Colony... ARK. This place... so familiar... but why? This is... where I... Maria... died!?
* At last, revenge. (after completing the Dark Mission in Central City)
* Such a cowardly attempt to take the city. Unbelievable. (after completing the Hero Mission in Central City)
* Let the humans await their final Judgement Day. (after completing the Dark Mission in Black Comet)
* Do whatever you need to, Knuckles. I've got my own reasons for being here. (after completing the Hero Mission in Black Comet)
* Game over, Sonic. (after defeating Sonic and Diablon in a Semi-Dark run)
* Never show your face around here again. (after defeating Egg Dealer in a Semi-Dark run)
* Sorry, doctor, but this is the end for you! (after defeating Egg Dealer in a Neutral ending)
* Even if it takes everything I've got, then I will get the truth from the Doctor. (after completing the Dark Mission of Mad Matrix)
* Hmph. What a waste of my time. (after completing the Normal mission of Mad Matrix)
* The truth about my past is gotta be in the Doctor's data, somewhere. (after completing the Hero Mission of Mad Matrix)
* I have no past. What do you mean by that, Doctor? (after defeating Egg Breaker)
* It's do or die, Sonic the Hedeghog! (after defeating Sonic and Diablon in a Pure Hero run)
* Mere humans cannot stop me. (after defeating Sonic and Diablon in a Pure Dark run)
* Sorry to disappoint, but this is the end. (after defeating Black Doom in a Pure Dark run)
* This is what I must do for my atonement. (after defeating Black Doom in a Semi-Hero run)
* Begone! I will not allow you to defile the ARK with your presence! (after defeating Egg Dealer in a Semi-Hero run)
* I will not allow anyone to set their hand on Black Doom. (after completing the Dark Mission of Final Haunt)
* So we meet at last, Black Doom. You're the one responsible for all this villainy. (after completing the Hero Mission of Final Haunt)
* Maria loved this planet. I will not let you destroy it! (after defeating Black Doom in a Pure Hero run)
* Doctor, I have no further use for you. (after completing the Sky Troops Dark Mission)
* You're not getting away from me this time, Doctor. (after completing the Sky Troops Normal Mission)
* I cannot betray the Doctor. (after completing the Sky Troops Hero Mission)

## Sonic the Hedgehog

* Hey, Shadow! Long time no see! Looks like the black creatures really mean business! Let's you and me show them a thing or 2!
* Hey, he's on our side!
* Stop!!
* Shadow, what are you doing?!
* Let's run along that fallen crane!
* Woohoo! Now we're talkin'! Bring it on!
* Well, look what the cat dragged in! Alright, Shadow, you know what to do!
* You know what they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall!
* Oh, yeah, bring it on! Looks like this party's just getting started! Time to rock and roll! You up for this, Shadow?
* Shadow, I can't let you go, not like this!
* Shadow, why are you siding with those black creatures!?
* What's wrong, are you tired?
* Damn, they got away! Leave it to me, I'll chase 'em down!
* Use Chaos Control to make your way inside!
* Let's show the black creatures that we mean business.
* Smash their tank.
* The big boss is inside.
* Yeah, it's time to ROCK and ROLL!
* Shadow, don't you remember? We've once raced each other here. This is just like old times... a race for the Emerald!
* (Alarmed when Shadow suddenly collapses to his knees, holding his head, giving a short cry of pain) Shadow! What's wrong!?!
* Well, Shadow, looks like we've reached the climax of our little game. Time to make the big bossman responsible for this invasion, step up and play!
* Welcome to the next level.
* Is there any way we can shut down the lasers that are defending the exit?
* Let's do this, Shadow!
* I never thought I'd have to play with YOU like this, but I guess I have no choice!
* Ugh! Not bad, Shadow. But the fun's just getting started!
* Hmph! You're pretty good. But now, playtime's over!
* (before Shadow battles Diablon) All right! You ready to do this? Come on!
* Why is GUN after us now!? Shadow, what did you do!?!
* That's a beetle, a GUN sentry droid.
* GUN forces are giving it their all! We've gotta help them!
* Hey, it's a squad of GUN soldiers! Let's give them a hand.
* Shadow... What are you gonna do with them?
* Shadow... Why...? Why are you siding with them?
* Man... (chuckles) I didn't know you had it in ya.
* (to Shadow) All right! You ready to do this? Come on!
* Press the A (GameCube and Xbox)/X (PlayStation2) button again while jumping to hit enemies using a homing attack.
* To swap you weapon for another weapon that's on the ground, just press the X (GameCube)/B (Xbox)/Circle (PlayStation2) button. Personally, I wouldn't be caught dead using those things.
* Now that was SWEET, Shadow!
* It's been a long time since the two of us ran along here together. Now, time to kick things up a notch!
* Sorry, but that Emerald's mine! See ya!
* Hey! What's the matter, Shadow!?! Can't keep up!?!
* Now it's time to dash for the finish line!
* No dice, Shadow! There's no way you're beating me now!
* Score one Chaos Emerald for the good guys! Sorry there, Shadow old buddy!
* Shadow, look! Up there!
* Once every 50 years, that Black Comet passes by this planet. (chuckles) Oh! Do you think those black creatures are somehow connected with that comet?

## Dialogue

    Shadow: [Standing next to the tree, newspaper caught on his leg titled "FIRE-IN-THE-SKY FESTIVAL Celebration! 50 Year return of Black Comet." And flew away, Shadow wonders to himself] Shadow the Hedgehog... Why does that name haunt me? It's the only thing I can remember. And that gruesome image... [Memory in the Ark at the person-eye view; 50 years ago. With Maria along with him away from the GUN soldiers, cornered at the room, Maria ejects the pod from the switch, the soldier pointed the gun at her and shot] MARIA! [shakes his head] Who am I, and why can't I remember anything… and who is this Maria? [Looks up in the sky, covered by the thick red clouds, and all the Black Arms falling out of the eye of the clouds and causing destruction in Westopolis] Hmm, look how pathetic they are! I don't have enough time for these humans.
    Black Doom: Shadow... [Shadow was confused, then the Doom's eye appears with the illusion of their ruler] As you can see, the day of reckoning will soon be here. Find the 7 Chaos Emeralds, and bring them to me as promised.
    Shadow: Huh? Who are you and how did you know I'm Shadow, and what are you talking about? [the Doom's Eye flew away, and Shadow came to a halt from the impact] Just what was that all about? If he says he knows the truth about who I am, then like it or not, I have to believe him. The only way I'm going to get the secrets to my past is to get those Chaos Emeralds! [skates down the hill directly to Westopolis]
    GUN Soldier: The black aliens have hit 6 major cities around the world, and every city is reporting significant damage and casualties. Among them, Westopolis has received the heaviest casualties, due to its weakened defense system. Downtown Westopolis has almost been completely destroyed. Unconfirmed sources have also reported seeing a black hedgehog in Westopolis.
    GUN Commander: Shadow? Deploy the troops now, and if you see Shadow with the black aliens, then kill them all!
    GUN Soldier: But sir, isn't Shadow on our side–?
    GUN Commander: I gave you an order, soldier! He's evil, and he's the enemy! [The soldier leaves] You can't fool me, Shadow! This time, you're mine...
    Tails: Yeah! He did it! The Black Comet is destroyed!
    Sonic: Shadow... that was SWEET!
    Rouge: I hope he's okay.
    Amy: I'm sure that dude is fine, Rouge. After all, he IS Shadow!
    Dr. Eggman: How about giving me back those Chaos Emeralds now? (tries to sneak away)
    Knuckles: HEY! GET BACK HERE, YOU CREEP!!
    (everyone laughs as Knuckles chases Eggman)
    Charmy: Espio... are you in yet?
    Vector: Quiet, Charmy! [Charmy unintelligible complaining] Espio, we need you to focus, 'cause if we don't hurry, all the data we recovered will be lost!
    Espio: (groans) Easier said than done. Who signed me up for this anyway?!
    Charmy: That's it! I'll do do it! Get out of the way!
    Vector: Get back here, you idiot!
    [Charmy crashes into the computer, and a fuzzy image of Professor Gerald appears on the screen]
    Chaotix: Hey! It's working!
    Sonic: That was sweet, Shadow!
    Shadow: Yeah. Well, I'm not here to save you.
    Sonic: Thought you might say something like that! How about a little friendly competition?
    Shadow: Don't waste my time.
    Doom's Eye: (Moving past Shadow and Sonic) We have found the THIRD Chaos Emerald in this city. There's no time to waste here. Our mission here is done. Now, get going! (Keeps going)
    Sonic: I guess that means... Welcome to the next level! Let's go! (Dashes off)
    Shadow: (Following Sonic) Get back here!
    GUN Soldier Over Radio: Attention. Emergency broadcast to all mobile units, headquarters to all mobile units. All points bulletin: be on the look out for Shadow, the black hedgehog, wanted in connection with the terrorist attacks. Last seen in the vicinity of downtown Westopolis. Orders are...capture him, dead or alive.
    Shadow: Out of my way! Coming through!
    GUN Soldier: S-S-STOP! Don't move or we'll shoot!
    Shadow: Stupid humans. (Jumps up and attacks two soldiers)
    GUN Soldier: (After being attacked) Ugh.
    Shadow: Hmph!
    Black Doom: Very impressive, Shadow.
    Shadow: Who are you?
    Black Doom: You don't remember anything, do you? But you will... in time. But now, there's no time to waste here. Go and access the United Federation's mainframe. Understand?
    Shadow: Got it.
    Sonic: Once every 50 years, that Black Comet passes over by this planet. [laughs, then breaks off] Oh! Do you think those black creatures are somehow connected with that Comet?
    Shadow: [thoughtfully] Black... Comet... [before he can think any further, he claps his hands onto head, and cries out in pain, collapsing to his knees
    Sonic: [Alarmed when Shadow collapses in pain] Shadow! What's wrong!?!
    Shadow: Damn itǃ What does it all mean?ǃ These memories...the doctor's actions and words...nothing makes senseǃ Was it real?
