== Plot ==
Shadow walks along Emerald Coast and waiting for Rouge. But he faces Metal Sonic, and they have a duel. Shadow uses Chaos Spear for attack, and Metal Sonic for defense is Black Shield. But then Metal Sonic grabs Shadow and throws him far into ocean.
In the ocean Blaze and Marine sailed on ship Ocean Tornado from Blaze's World. Marine and Blaze find Shadow by the ocean. When he was dragged out, Marine accidentally picked up Chaos Emerald from Shadow. After Shadow's meeting with Blaze and Marine over a ship about ten kilometers in height, Sonic and Tails flew by plane Tornado. Sonic and Tails accidentally noticed Metal Sonic and decided to catch up with him, maybe Metal Sonic will lead to Eggman. Marine really wants to meet again with Sonic and Tails and how many times he tried to persuade Blaze and Shadow.
Having landed on Tornado in Emerald Coast, Sonic and Tails chased Metal Sonic, and Ocean Tornado sailed to Seaside Hill. Shadow to stay here at the ship for a while, then Blaze and Marine themselves began to look for Sonic and Tails. Another five minutes passed, and ship finally had Rouge and E-123 Omega. Rouge was very surprised why Shadow was so wet. Black hedgehog explained everything. Omega could not wait and wants to kill Eggman, and Team Dark hurried to Eggman, and also found Sonic, Tails, Blaze and Marine.
In Eggmanland, Metal Sonic returned and told Eggman that Shadow was finished. Eggman is very happy, even imagined that the salute started. Orbot and Cubot accidentally saw something unexpected and told Eggman. Sonic and Tails broke through the cabinet window, using Rolling Combo. Eggman launched the guns, but did not have time to shoot, because Sonic uses Homing Attack on the guns, and the guns explode. Blaze and Marine got in the way. Because of the distraction, the four fell into a trap: Eggman locked the door to where they had entered. But, fortunately, Team Dark appeared from the broken window. Eggman was surprised that Shadow was alive and unharmed, and accidentally blurted out that he had sent Metal Sonic to finish with Shadow. Hearing this, Shadow knew that Eggman had arranged everything, then accidentally noticed that he did not have Chaos Emerald. Had he lost in the ocean?! Marine said that she found the Chaos Emerald when he was dragged from the water. Then Shadow calmed down, and to save everyone and open the aisle somewhere, he asked everyone to retreat to a safe distance and use Chaos Blast. The passage opened, Eggman, Orbot, Cubot and Metal Sonic flee. Marine gives Shadow Chaos Emerald and such a feat she has not seen. On the way to the exit of Eggmanland, Blaze thought about Cream, and Sonic and Tails remembered and talked about an event from Sonic Rush: how Blaze first met with Cream, how she almost flew from Knuckles because of the trivialities of some. Blaze decided to visit Cream with Marine, that's how she would be pleased when they arrived.
