Sonic Adventure 4: Black Arms Rising/Script (Chapter 5-6)

This page focuses on the 5th and 6th chapters of the story mode for Sonic Adventure 4: Black Arms Rising.
==Chapter 5: Enemy of My Enemy==
===Grudge===
[The scene takes place at the main room of G.U.N. Headquarters; the G.U.N. soldier arrives to give Commander Tower updates]
GUN Soldier: Commander Tower, the Black Arms have been successfully eliminated at Blue Ridge Zone, but the 2 Chaos Emeralds were seized by a black hedgehog and a robotic blue hedgehog resembling Sonic which belongs to Dr. Eggman.
Com. Tower: You mean Shadow?
GUN Soldier: Um... Affirmative.
Com. Tower: I had enough problems to deal with. I want all of my soldiers to find and capture that hedgehog! And we'll also deal with Dr. Eggman since he's involved in the equation.
GUN Soldier: I will comply, sir, but about Shadow... didn't he saved the world with Sonic one time--
Com. Tower: I don't care about that! And I gave you an order, soldier! He's an evil weapon and must be put out of commission! Do I make myself clear?!
GUN Soldier: Yes, sir.
Com. Tower: Good. Now go and do your job as ordered! [GUN soldier walks away] You won't get away, Shadow. This time, you're mine.
===Shadow's Motives===
[The scene takes place at Blue Ridge Zone]
Sonic: [In thought] I can't believe Shadow's alive.
Tails: [In thought] No one could've survived what he went through.
Knuckles: [In thought] It must have been a miracle.
Amy: [In thought] How did he survive all of that?
Rouge: [In thought] They don't call him the Ultimate Life Form for nothing.
Mighty: Uh... guys? Everything alright? You guys have been quiet lately.
Julie-Su: And who was that black hedgehog? Shadow, as you call him?
Sonic: To put a long story short, Shadow helped us saved the world from a falling space station called ARK. But then he fell down to earth and we thought he was a goner. But now...
Julie-Su: He's alive.
Mighty: That's incredible.
Cream: Agreed.
Big: So that was that light that fell down the jungle.
[Everyone looks at Big oddly]
Tails: You mean Shadow actually fell into the Mystic Ruins jungle?
Big: I suppose. I thought it was some comet, but I didn't want to check.
Knuckles: But the problem is he took the Emeralds and ran off with Metal Sonic. Is he in league with Eggman?
Amy: Maybe Eggman brainwashed him.
Tails: Sounds believable.
Com. Tower: Come in, everyone! We have another problem in our hands!
Rouge: What is it, Commander?
Com. Tower: It's Dr. Eggman. I've spotted his fleet heading to the canyons. There's an airship by the forest for you all to use. And while you're at it, you must deal with Shadow and a robot created by Dr. Eggman and retrieve the Chaos Emeralds from their grasp.
Rouge: Commander, with all due respect, Shadow is not the enemy. He saved the world from being--.
Com. Tower: Don't question my order, agent Rouge! Shadow is a dangerous weapon and must be captured dead or alive! Either you capture him or you're just as much as a target as Dr. Eggman and the Black Arms! That goes for the rest of you too! Am I clear?!
Rouge: Yes, sir. This is ridiculous.
Amy: We're not gonna attack Shadow, are we?
Sonic: Of course not. I got no problem attacking Eggman and Metal Sonic, though.
Knuckles: But the thing is Shadow is with Metal Sonic, which gives us the impression that he's working for Eggman.
Rouge: Jumping into conclusions, are we?
Knuckles: I'm not even trying to. I'm just saying we don't know for sure. Plus if we don't take down Shadow, we'll be running the risk of having the Black Arms, Eggman, and GUN after us. That's one problem too many.
Sonic: You may have a point, Knuckles, but I was thinking if we can catch up with Shadow, we can see what's going on with him instead of having to fight him.
Tails: But we don't know where exactly he and Metal Sonic went after he used Chaos Control.
Sonic: The commander said Eggman's fleet is around, so he and Metalhead may have transported there.
Rouge: Yeah. I think we oughta go to the ship. We don't want to keep the commander grumbling again.
===Collapsed===
[Earlier on Chapter 4, Shadow and Metal Sonic appears with the Chaos Emeralds]
Eggman: Shadow! Metal Sonic! You're back with the Chaos Emeralds! Now there's more where that came from.
[Shadow suddenly collapses]
Orbot: Oh no!
Eggman: Shadow!
Cubot: Is he dead again?
Eggman: Of course not, you fool! He was made immortal. He can't die! Hm... It appears that he used all of his Chaos energy to transport here with Chaos Control. We'll have to put him back to the cyrogenic chamber to restore him. Metal Sonic, place him over there.
Metal Sonic: Yes, master. [Picks up Shadow and takes him to the chamber]
Orbot: If I recall correctly, Shadow has those rings which keep him from using all of his powers. We can't find them.
Cubot: Didn't Sonic give them to Rouge?
Eggman: Yes. I forgot I've encountered Sonic's friends at the castle, and they are also fighting against those aliens.
Orbot: So what now, your awfulness?
Eggman: I'll go and have my Egg Drone to take them to my base.
[Eggman activates the Egg Drone.]
===Black Arms Fleet===
[The scene takes place at Glyphic Canyon where Black Doom, Eclipse, and the rest of the Black Arms are watching the Egg Fleet from a far.]
Black Doom: More human machines. It's time for the reinforcements!
[Black Doom uses a green jewel from his necklace to activate the ruins. The G.U.N. Soldiers who are present in the canyon feel the ground shake.]
GUN Soldier 1: It's an earthquake!
GUN Soldier 2: I can't move my feet!
[The heroes inside the G.U.N. airship watch as the ruins rise up in the sky]
Big: What's that?
[Dr. Eggman, Metal Sonic, Orbot, and Cubot watch the flying ruins facing the Egg Fleet]
Cubot: What is that, boss?
Eggman: This must be a flying fortress activated by that alien.
[We now return to Black Doom and his crew.]
Eclipse: I bet no one expected this baby could fly.
Black Doom: I transported this brilliant flying fortress to this planet over 2000 years ago, Eclipse. It's magnificent! The perfect killing machine... ready to impose terror in unimaginable ways. Hmm, we have some obstacles to deal with. Does the human resistance really believe he's any match for my citadel?
Eggman: [From the speakers of his fleet] You alien scum, my name is Dr. Eggman, the world's greatest scientist and future ruler of the world! Your flying citadel is no match to my Egg Fleet! I'll have it sinking into the ground where it belongs!
Black Doom: Foolish scientist.
Eclipse: He has something of an ego. But it makes sense because he's a human.
Black Doom: It's time to prepare for battle! Black Arms, get to your battle stations!
Eclipse: Right you are!
[Eclipse and the Black Arms head to their battle stations.]
===Putting Differences Aside===
[Inside the G.U.N. ship, Sonic and his crew have arrived to the Egg Fleet]
Big: Look!
[The Egg Drone appears]
Julie-Su: One of his robots!
[The Egg Drone uses its transporting abilities to send the heroes inside the Egg Fleet]
[The heroes appear inside the Egg Fleet]
Cream: Where are we?
Tails: We must be inside the Egg Carrier.
Eggman: [from a distance] Well I didn't expect a lot of you here.
[Eggman appears to the heroes]
Sonic: So came to set us up for one of your traps, huh, Eggman?
Eggman: Trap you? I'm far too busy to trap you and your friends. Speaking of that, I see a lot of faces here. Even ones I've never seen for a while. I see you brought the fat cat and his frog, the bunny brat and her pet, and Mighty.
Sonic: Yeah, that's enough of the pleasantries, doc. Just tell me why you brought us here.
Eggman: Now that you ask. I came to bring you all here for two things. The inhibitor rings and for assistance in battling those aliens' fortress.
Rouge: Inhibitor rings? Wait? You mean Shadow's in here?
Eggman: Look right to your left.
[The heroes look at the cryogenic chamber where Shadow is inside]
Amy: [Gasps] What have you done to Shadow?!
Eggman: No need to overreact. I've placed him inside the cryogenic chamber to restore his energy, but this will take too much time to recharge him. What he needs is his limiter rings. I know you still have them, Rouge.
Rouge: Oh, I remember. I haven't lost them ever since. [Takes out two of Shadow's inhibitor rings]
Eggman: I'll have Metal Sonic to release him from this tube.
[Metal Sonic presses a button from the cryogenic chamber to release Shadow; Shadow gets up from the ground; the heroes come up to him]
Rouge: [Holding the inhibitor rings] Here you go.
Shadow: [Takes the inhibitor rings and put them on his wrists] What just happened to me?
Eggman: You collapsed after using Chaos Control to arrive in the ship. Luckily, Rouge put the inhibitor rings on your wrists so that you won't collapse.
Rouge: Hey there. Feeling better?
Sonic: And we're also glad to see you alive, Shadow.
Shadow: Doctor... who are they?
[The heroes are confused]
Rouge: Huh? Don't you remember us? Me, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Amy?
Shadow: No. Come to think of it, I don't remember anything. All I can remember was when the doctor woke me up inside a pod. He told me he and his crew found me unconscious at a jungle where I was said to have fallen from space.
Eggman: In case you all don't know, Shadow is suffering amnesia, meaning memory loss.
Amy: This is terrible! We have to get his memory back!
Eggman: The memory loss problem will be handled in another time. Now we talk about the second reason I want you all here. We have to deal with these pain in the neck aliens and their floating citadel.
Sonic: Oh, don't tell me we have to team up with you again.
Eggman: Unfortunately, yes. Now listen! I've detected 4 orbs that are keeping their fortress afloat. Destroying them will break down their systems and their fortress will become nothing more than just ruins on the ground. I'll need some help in dealing with them.
Knuckles: Help? You can forget it! Me and Julie haven't forgotten what you and the Dark Legion did to the echidnas last time we crossed paths!
Eggman: It was nothing personal, Knuckles. In fact, I feel a little remorseful in hurting some of your people.
Julie-Su: Heh! You keep telling yourself that, you coward!
Orbot: Dr. Eggman, the fortress is ready to attack!
Eggman: We haven't got much time! Let's put aside our the hostility and fight against the aliens and their fortress! I'll need a few volunteers to help defend the Eggman Fleet. Perhaps I'll pick Tails, Amy, Cream, Big, Julie-Su, and Mighty. Shadow, Metal Sonic, you'll have to find those Chaos Emeralds in another time. Go with Sonic, Knuckles, and Rouge to combat those creatures' fortress.
Mighty: Isn't that something. Teaming up with Eggman.
Knuckles: We've done it before back in the ARK.
Metal Sonic: [To Sonic] I will set aside my mission in destroying you, Sonic. For the first time, we are teaming up.
Sonic: Yeah, yeah. Just don't get in my way, Metalhead.
Eggman: Alright! Let's get to work!
===Sky Troops===
[Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, and Metal Sonic appear in the ruins in the sky]
Rouge: Here we are, everyone! The same canyon we went to last time, except it's on air.
Knuckles: Now Eggman said there are 4 orbs to keep the fortress back to the ground.
Sonic: We'll have to find them anyway we can and destroy them.
Com. Tower: Come in, agent Rouge! And Sonic! Where are you and the others are at now?
Rouge: We're at the Black Arms' fortress now. And you're not gonna like this, Commander, but Dr. Eggman wants our help in fighting it.
Com. Tower: What?! We're not helping one of our enemies, let alone Dr. Eggman!
Rouge: It's only temporary, sir. We're fighting against a common enemy in the Black Arms.
Com. Tower: Very well, agent Rouge. But keep your eyes on Dr. Eggman. Take out the fortress pronto!
Rouge: Right, sir. [To herself] Good thing he didn't mention about Shadow. [To the others] So are you boys and robot ready to go?
Knuckles: Is that even a question? Of course we are!
Sonic: Let's roll then!
Shadow: [To himself] I don't know how these people know me, but I have to help them. Then, I'll have to find the rest of the Chaos Emeralds for the doctor.
===Fortress Destroyed===
[The Black Arms' fortress is falling to the ground of the canyon; The heroes get back on the GUN ship]
Eggman: [inside the Egg Carrier] Hahaha! My Egg Fleet will live another day! How's that, you repulsive aliens?!
===Discovering Shadow===
[The scene takes place at Black Doom's lair; Black Doom is watching the screen of his fortress ]
Black Doom: Curse the mobians and the scientist for destroying their lair! [Looks at the screen showing Shadow] What's this? Is this...the Ultimate Life Form created by Professor Gerald?
[The screen fades to black]
===Conversation===
[We're taken inside the Egg Carrier's control room. Eggman is looking at his monitor where Commander Tower appears]
Com. Tower: Dr. Eggman, we did our part in compromising the Black Arms' fortress. Now I can send my forces to deal with you!
Eggman: And who are you?
Com. Tower: Commander Abraham Tower. The commander of G.U.N. HQ.
Eggman: So you're the leader of the military geeks? Well, I'm not so pleased to meet you. Unfortunately for the both of us, our alliance hasn't ended yet. I've spotted a number of Black Arms located at Old Megaopolis.
Com. Tower: I already spotted them there. We will get this over with for real this time, and after this is done, I'll send my soldiers to deal with your army!
Eggman: Hahahaha! Like I should be intimidated by your threat! I'll be prepared for your attack, and once I strike, you will learn you are nothing against the Eggman Army! Conversation over.
===Next Emerald Location===
[The scene takes place at the canyon where Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow, Rouge, and Metal Sonic are standing there]
Eggman: [from communicator] Shadow, I need you to go to Prison Island to find a Chaos Emerald that I've located. And Metal Sonic, return to the Egg Fleet at once.
Shadow: Understood, doctor.
[Shadow and Metal Sonic depart; Sonic, Knuckles, and Rouge spot the airship approaching to them.]
Rouge: Here's our ride.
[The three enter inside.]
Amy: Hey, whatever happened to Shadow and Metal Sonic?
Sonic: They went to take care of their business.
Com. Tower: We can't take out Eggman just yet. There's some aliens at Old Megaopolis.
Sonic: That's where Eggman's base is located ahead.
Com. Tower: You all go there to eliminate them. In the meantime, the other half can find the Chaos Emerald at Prison Island.
Rouge: I think I'll go, Commander.
Com. Tower: Very well, agent Rouge. And all of you remember what I said about Shadow. Capture him dead or alive! I mean it!
Rouge: ...Right. Well, I'm off to Prison Island. Catch up with you guys later.
Knuckles: Good luck.
===Arriving to Egg Metropolis===
[The heroes land on Egg Metropolis.]
Tails: Here we are.
Sonic: Let's get this over with and out of the base.
===Hacking Into Eggman's Database===
[Inside Egg Metropolis, Vector, Espio, and Charmy are at the computer room; Espio is trying to hack inside Eggman's computer.]
Vector: Aren't you done yet, Espio? At this rate, the entire day will be wasted.
Charmy: Yeah! Whole day wasted!
Espio: You should know that data retrieval isn't exactly my specialty.
Charmy: Then leave it to me!
Vector: Charmy, what are you doing? Let him concentrate.
Charmy: Not to worry, Vector!
[Charmy charges into the monitor; as a result, a yellow warphole opens.]
Vector: It worked! Nice job, Charmy!
Espio: How did you figure this out?
Charmy: I saw it happen in a cartoon once.
Vector: Oh, brother.
Espio: [Unamused] Well, that figures.
Vector: Alright, let's head inside and find those files and transfer it into the disk!
[The Chaotix rush inside the warphole.]
===Egg Virus===
[Vector, Espio, and Charmy are obstructed by a giant wall with Eggman's face in it.]
Espio: We're blocked!
Egg Virus: [In Eggman's voice] Intruders of the Eggman Database are not allowed! They will be destroyed!
Charmy: What's this supposed to be?
Vector: Eggman must have placed this thing here to keep off intruders. We'll knock this wall down and then escape!
===Exiting the Database===
Charmy: That was a close one.
Espio: Dr. Eggman is prepared for everything, even database security.
Vector: [Takes the disk from the computer.] Alright, boys. It's off to the next mission.
[The trio leave the computer room.]
===Conversation===
[The heroes meet The Chaotix]
Vector: Well, well, if it isn't Sonic!
Sonic: Vector, Espio, and Charmy! Good to see you guys!
Charmy: Hey, is that Mighty?
Mighty: In the flesh.
Vector: Mighty, it's been years!
Mighty: I'm just here helping the others to fight off of these aliens.
Knuckles: I bet you guys heard of them, have you? The Black Arms.
Charmy: Black Arms?
Vector: I think we saw those aliens. I have no idea where did they came from. We were just busy recovering some old files from the Space Colony ARK.
Sonic: You guys think about joining us? We could use your help.
Vector: Well, we're planning on heading to the ARK, but since it looks like we're in a trying time, it wouldn't hurt to put the case on hold. What do you say, boys?
Charmy: Let's go for it!
Espio: I agree. That'll give me a rest from 2-hour hacking.
Sonic: Then that settled. Now we got to head to Old Megaopolis. There's a whole bunch of aliens lurking there.
===Black Phoenix===
[The others have successfully eliminated the Black Arms.]
Knuckles: Nicely done, guys!
Charmy: So is that it?
[A huge flying Black Arm creature, The Black Phoenix, appears]
Julie-Su: Apparently, not.
===End of the Alliance===
[The heroes have defeated the Black Phoenix; Dr. Eggman appears via Eggmobile]
Eggman: Well, I don't normally say this to you idiots, and I can really do without your assistance, but I thank you for protecting my Metropolis.
Sonic: You don't have to thank us, Eggbelly, because we're not really doing it for you.
Eggman: I'm well aware of that. And Metal Sonic wants to give you a token of gratitude as well.
[Metal Sonic stands behind the heroes]
Metal Sonic: Target locked. Attack!
[Metal Sonic electrocutes the heroes]
Sonic: Agh!
Metal Sonic: What a fool you are, Sonic the Hedgehog!
[The three Chaos Emeralds in Sonic's possession drops on the floor.]
Tails: No, not the Emeralds!
Eggman: Hahahaha! A job well done, Metal Sonic! Oh, and here's another token of my gratitude. [Uses a magnetic device to steal the three Chaos Emeralds] Thank you for these Chaos Emeralds! I best be off! Come on, Metal Sonic! Let's go to the base.
===Finding Prison Island===
[The scene opens with Shadow at an unknown area; he has found Prison Island.]
Shadow: This must be Prison Island. Time to enter in.
[Shadow runs down the ramp of the entrance to Prison Island; Rouge was behind Shadow from a distance.]
Rouge: Shadow's heading to Prison Island. Some GUN mechs are guarding the island there, and I can't be seen helping him otherwise I'll be under fire with Commander Tower. I have to keep it discreet. [Follows Shadow]
[Watching the two from a distance is Doom's Eye. The scene fades to black.]
==Chapter 6: Deception==
===Retrieving the Emeralds===
[The heroes are recovering from Metal Sonic's electromagnetic attack]
Big: I don't feel right.
Tails: Metal Sonic has upgraded a lot more than before.
Julie-Su: I knew that creep was gonna strike.
Knuckles: He's gonna be sorry the next time we see him!
Com. Tower: [from communicator] Sonic, what is your status?
Sonic: We took out all the aliens. But Eggman used his favorite pet robot Metal Sonic to electrocute us and both ran off with the Emeralds.
Com. Tower: What?! How could you lose them so easily!? You incompetent mobian! You're responsible for this! Had you never agreed to help Dr. Eggman, none of this would ever happen!
Sonic: [Angrily] First of all, it wasn't my idea to team up with Eggman just like I wasn't my idea to team up you! How about we just go and find, take back the Emeralds and go back to whatever it is we were doing while you sit down, shut up, and mind your own business!
Tails: Whoa.
Amy: Sonic...
Knuckles: Never thought you had it in you.
Com. Tower: You ought to be lucky you didn't speak to me in that manner directly to my face! Go and make up for your pathetic failure, hedgehog! You and your friends better get those Emeralds from Eggman back or I will have no problem making all of you mobians another race that deserves to be extinct just like the Black Arms!
Charmy: He's a colossal jerk!
Vector: What's up with that guy?
Tails: What does he have against our kind?
Knuckles: I don't know, but if I saw him in person, the first thing I'd do is punch him square in the face!
Tails: Sonic, are you alright? I never saw you this angry before.
Sonic: [Calming down] I'll be fine.
Julie-Su: That was kinda cool how you told him off.
Cream: I don't think we should work for that man anymore.
Tails: I don't think we have a choice. Otherwise, he'll just send his troops to arrest us or worse.
Sonic: I'm worried about what he's gonna do to us. Let's just focus on get the Emeralds. Hopefully I won't have to hear his mouth, but I doubt it.
===Entering Prison Island===
[Shadow enters Prison Island]
Shadow: Now to find the Chaos Emerald.
Shadow: [Begins to experience something] Huh?
[Shadow experiences a flashback of memories of him in Prison Island being freed by Eggman.]
Shadow: This must be the island that I was captured and sealed inside a base... and then... the doctor freed me.
[Rouge appears beside Shadow]
Rouge: Quite lonely in this place, isn't it?
Shadow: What are you doing here?
Rouge: Doing the same thing you're doing - finding the Chaos Emerald. It seems we gotta work together. Just like old times... Like in this island for example. You saved me with Chaos Control, though you didn't quite admit it.
Shadow: I did?
Rouge: Yeah. I know you're still unclear about your memories, but who knows? You'll get them back soon enough. It's a process.
Shadow: You're right.
Rouge: So why not we begin searching for that Emerald?
Shadow: Right.
[Shadow sets off while Rouge stays behind.]
Rouge: [In thought] I have to make sure G.U.N. doesn't see me helping Shadow or I'll get terminated. I have to be discreet.
===Meeting Black Doom===
[Shadow and Rouge found the Chaos Emerald]
Rouge: You hit the jackpot, Shadow!
Shadow: Hmph.
Rouge: Wow, even if you don't remember anything, you're still moody.
[Black Doom appears]
Rouge: Hey, aren't you the one who's leading all of your hideous underlings to wreck everything?
Black Doom: Precisely. But I'm not here to talk to you, bat, I'm here to talk to Shadow.
Rouge: What?
Shadow: How do you know I'm Shadow?
Black Doom: Perhaps I'll show you.
Rouge: Show him what?
[Black Doom teleports Shadow to another location]
Rouge: Shadow! What did you do to Shadow, you creep?!
Black Doom: That's none of your concern! [Disappears]
Com. Tower: [from communicator] Rouge! Where are you? You had not responded to me for a few hours.
Rouge: I've been searching for the Emerald, and it appears to have been stolen by Black Doom.
Com. Tower: Great! Another Emerald lost!
Rouge: What do you mean by "another Emerald lost"?
Com. Tower: Dr. Eggman stole the three Chaos Emeralds along our way! This was Sonic and the others' fault for being too trusting to Eggman!
Rouge: Figures that the old doctor is as underhanded as they come. But you can't fault them because we had to team up with Eggman against the Black Arms, and we did our best to keep a close on Eggman.
Com. Tower: I expect that you would make pathetic excuses for your fellow mobians.
Rouge: Yeah, sure. Go and express your toxic prejudice.
Com. Tower: I won't accept any lip from you, agent Rouge!
Rouge: [Sighs] Anyways, where are Sonic and the gang?
Com. Tower: They're at a volcanic region. You should hurry and assist them if you know what's good for you!
Rouge: [Sarcastically] Yes, sir! I will comply to your unquestioned authority. [Flies up] This is why I rather go back being a jewel thief. I just hope Shadow is alright.
===50 Years Ago...===
[Shadow and Black Doom appear in space. It's an hallucination.]
Shadow: Where are we?
Black Doom: Outer space, Shadow. Take a look to your left.
Shadow: [Looks at the Space Colony ARK] What's that?
Black Doom: That is the Space Colony ARK. I'm taking you back 50 Years ago.
Shadow: 50...years ago? [Sees him and Maria running from a group of G.U.N soldiers at a hallway inside the ARK] That's me... and who is she?
Black Doom: That is Maria. Your best friend. You and her were on the run from the military. I will take you back into that time where that tragedy took place. [Transports Shadow to the ARK]
===Heavy Dog===
[Shadow and Maria are still escaping from G.U.N; They are confronted by a G.U.N. mech known as Heavy Dog]
G.U.N. Soldier: [Patrolling the Heavy Dog] Mantis platoon, Heavy Dog reporting in. Primary target and the girl have been located. Acquiring targets. En route to intercept and destroy!
[Shadow, in his mind, sees a flashback where one of the G.U.N. soldiers shoots Maria]
Shadow: MARIA!
Maria: Please, Shadow... help me... [Dies from her wounds]
[The flashback ends; Shadow returns and realizes that Black Doom is in Maria's place]
Black Doom: Humans... willing to take the life of their own to satisfy their greed and cruelty. They took the life of your best friend without any second thought or remorse in their bodies. They have no regard for the weak and defenseless. Instead, they enjoy inflicting suffering and death upon them! They are a disgusting and a abominable race that should've been extinct a long time ago!
Shadow: [In rage] Those humans! I'll make them pay!
G.U.N. Soldier: I have Project Shadow cornered. I'm preparing for attack!
Shadow: Pathetic human! I will make you suffer a painful death!
===Back to the Present===
[The hallucination is over. Shadow and Black Doom appear in a forest.]
Black Doom: Well done, Shadow. The professor has done more to you than I imagined.
Shadow: The professor?
Black Doom: Hm... Strange that you don't remember you creator.
Shadow: My creator?
Black Doom: I'll explain to you in another time. But there's more that needs to be done in this wretched planet. I want you to access the government's mainframe and destroy its core. Understand?
Shadow: Got it!
[Black Doom transports Shadow into the government's database.]
===In Search for Eggman===
[At Egg Metropolis, the heroes are searching for Eggman's whereabouts. This takes place during Shadow and Rouge's encounter with Black Doom.]
Knuckles: He's not here.
Espio: It seems like it could be a trap.
Tails: Maybe he went to another hideout to trick us.
Vector: But which one exactly? Egg Metropolis has a lot of buildings. Who knows where could that slimeball could be.
Charmy: How does he afford a lot of these buildings?
Tails: A lot of money I might say.
Sonic: Maybe we'll split up and search for him in every building.
Knuckles: This will take a long time.
===Searching Through the Buildings===
[The scene opens with a short montage of everyone split up in groups to search for Eggman throughout the towers, but to no avail. The montage ends and the heroes reunite.]
Sonic: Let me guess, no luck?
Knuckles: No luck...
Espio: How frustrating is this?
Mighty: Eggman really set us up.
Julie-Su: Grr! Just where is he?!
Big: My feet hurt.
[Rouge appears]
Rouge: Glad I caught up with you guys. Got a lot of news. Commander Tower told me about your predicament with Eggman. Also, Shadow found an Emerald.
Sonic: He did?
Rouge: Yeah, but then Black Doom came and took him somewhere. He appears to have known him.
Tails: What could he have done to him?
Rouge: I wouldn't want to know. But I'd say we focus on our favorite scientist.
Knuckles: Well we have, but we have no idea where he is. We even search throughout the buildings.
Com. Tower: Come in, Sonic. Rouge! I've finally found where Dr. Eggman is hiding! It's inside the caverns under Egg Metropolis!
Amy: Yes!
Sonic: For once, Commander Jerko did something good.
Com. Tower: Just be grateful I'm helping you sorry creatures in making up your mistake! Now get moving!
Julie-Su: I'd be grateful if he shuts up.
Sonic: Well, we don't have to search through buildings. Now we gotta go under them and find Eggman and get back the Emeralds!
===Intruders in the Cavern===
[The scene opens with Eggman, Orbot, Cubot, and Metal Sonic inside a lava-filled lair.]
Eggman: Hahahaha! Oh, I really outdone myself when I made those fools think I was at the main tower when I'm inside this conveniently made underground lava base. Plus, I have 5 Chaos Emeralds with me!
Cubot: So what's next? Alien extermination?
Eggman: You got that right, you automatic half-wit! With Sonic and those military rejects occupied, I will be the one to get rid of the Black Arms and conquer the world!
Orbot: Don't forget about Shadow and the 6th Chaos Emerald.
Eggman: Oh, yes! I almost forgot. It's been several hours since Shadow went to Prison Island. What's taking him so long? I better go and contact him.
Cubot: Say, about Sonic and the others, it will take a miracle for them to find out our location.
[A siren blares]
Computer: Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
Eggman: You had to open that big mouth of yours, did you, Cubot?! Great! That spiky rat found out about my underground base!
Orbot: How did they find it?
Eggman: It doesn't matter! I'm gonna send my army to deal with them! [Presses a communicator button] Sonic and his friends have infiltrated my hideout! Stop them immediately!
===Dark Infiltration===
[Shadow and Black Doom appear in Egg Metropolis.]
Shadow: This is the doctor's metropolis.
Black Doom: Just hours ago, my army invaded the stupid scientist's base, but thanks to the blue mobian and the human resistance, I was not able to completely decimate it. Now, it's the second time to strike!
Shadow: Wait, I remember. I have to return the Emerald to the doctor.
Black Doom: No! Don't listen to him anymore. 
Shadow: What?
Black Doom: He said something about giving you information on your past if you give him all of the Chaos Emeralds, correct? But he's just like every other human. Manipulative, selfish, and self-serving. He never cared about your past. He only cares about his own goals! As soon as you have all of that accomplished, he will abandon you right off the bat.
Shadow: [In fury] The doctor will suffer the consequences for using me as a pawn for his selfishness!
Black Doom: Excellent! I want you to take the Chaos Emeralds he has stolen and then destroy his metropolis.
Shadow: Copy that.
Eggman: [from communicator] Shadow! I need you to hurry into the caves! It's an emergency!
Shadow: Oh I'll be there, doctor!
===Fighting the Egg Dragon===
[The heroes are confronted by the Egg Dragon]
Tails: What the...?!
Amy: It's one of Eggman's robots!
[The Egg Dragon prepares to give the heroes a fireball attack from its mouth]
Sonic: Watch out!
[The heroes dodge the Egg Dragon's fireball attack]
Sonic: Looks like fire breath wants to play!
===Betraying Eggman===
[The scene begins with Shadow entering inside the lair where Eggman, Metal Sonic, Orbot, and Cubot are waiting.]
Eggman: Shadow! Just in time. I see you brought the 6th Emerald. Excellent. Place them over there with the other Emeralds. Then you'll help me exterminate Sonic and the others.
[Shadow breaks open the glass and takes the other 5 Chaos Emeralds]
Eggman: Shadow, what are you doing?!
Shadow: You won't be deceiving me any longer!
Eggman: What? I need those Emeralds to conquer the world! And there's one more left! Put them back now!
Shadow: I will no longer help you, doctor! You were using me for your own ends and not to keep your promise in telling me about my past! I'm here to destroy you!
Eggman: I founded your lifeless body at the Mystic Ruins and brought your powers back, and this is how you repay me? You ingrate! Metal Sonic, take him down!
[Metal Sonic attempts to attack Shadow; Shadow dodges his attack and attacks him; He walks up to Eggman, threateningly]
Shadow: I'm going to destroy you and your precious base! Agh! [Gets attacked by Metal Sonic]
Eggman: It's time I teach you a lesson! I know just the thing!
[Eggman hops on a machine which reveals to be an walker-like robot called the Egg Blazer]
Eggman: You idiot! You just made a huge mistake in turning against the greatest genius in the world! I'm gonna burn you into a crisp!
===Self-Destruct Button===
[Shadow stands over a defeated Eggman and Metal Sonic]
Shadow: These Emeralds are mine, doctor!
Eggman: How dare you do this...to me! You ungrateful little pest!
[Sonic and the others appear]
Sonic: Shadow! Surprised you're here in this base.
Tails: [Looks at Eggman and Metal Sonic defeated] Huh? Did you defeat Eggman and Metal Sonic?
Charmy: Cool!
Sonic: We were worried about you, you know, especially what Black Doom did to you at Prison Island. Shadow?
[Shadow ignores Sonic, walks to the control panel, and presses a self-destruct button designated to destroy all of Egg Metropolis.]
Knuckles: Where is he going?
Rouge: Perhaps he's not in the mood for socializing.
Eggman: No! Don't press that button! You're going to blow up Egg Metropolis!
Cream: Oh no!
Shadow: That's what I intend on doing! [Presses the button]
Orbot: He did it!
Sonic: Shadow, what do you think you're doing?!
Shadow: Goodbye! [Disappears with the Chaos Emeralds]
Cubot: We gotta make a run for it!
Big: Those little robots are right!
Tails: Let's find an escape pod!
[The heroes went to find escape pods. Eggman and his crew did the same.]
Eggman: Orbot, Cubot, Metal Sonic! Hurry!
[The heroes and villains got inside the escape pods and set off of an exploding Egg Metropolis]
===Egg Metropolis Destroyed===
[The heroes watch as an explosion from Egg Metropolis erupts.]
Amy: Just what's wrong with Shadow?
Cream: Why would he try to destroy Eggman's city with all of us in it?
Rouge: The last time I saw him was when Black Doom came and sent him somewhere.
Tails: You don't think he may have done something to his mind.
Amy: That's one way of looking at it.
Sonic: We'll just have to get to the bottom of this then.
Rouge: But how?
Knuckles: Perhaps he needs some sense slap to him.
Sonic: Let's not go for the "punch first, questions later" thing, alright?
Com. Tower: Sonic, come in!
Sonic: Yeah, we're alive and kicking. But you wouldn't care if we didn't survived, right?
Com. Tower: [from communicator] I want your status. Have you retrieve the Emeralds from Dr. Eggman?
Sonic: No, because Shadow stole them from Eggman.
Com. Tower: What? What does that mean?
Rouge: It means Shadow turned on Eggman and took the Emeralds for himself. Not to mention he attacked us and pressed the self-destruct button and that's where you know the base exploded.
Com. Tower: So he decided to show himself! Now you understand why Shadow needs to be stopped. Right now, we need the Emeralds back from him immediately! As for the Black Arms, there isn't many of them as of late, but don't get too comfortable. The battle is far from over.
Sonic: When we see them, we'll take 'em out. Rinse and repeat. So where are they?
Com. Tower: I'll let you know if there is more coming. For now, you find Shadow.
Sonic: Yeah, sure.
[The scene fades to black as the airship departs from a now-destroyed Egg Metropolis]
===Back in Space===
[Shadow and Black Doom appear in space again.]
Black Doom: Well done, Shadow! Their corpses will soon rot in that explosion. Sooner than later, I will tell you about your past.
Shadow: Good.
Black Doom: But right now, we must begin our arraignments for the prosperity ritual.
Shadow: Prosperity ritual?
[Eclipse appears]
Eclipse: I'm back, master!
Black Doom: Excellent, Eclipse. And I like for you to meet Shadow. Shadow, this is Eclipse, my right-hand man.
Eclipse: [Turns to Shadow] It's a pleasure meeting you, Shadow.
Shadow: [Nods head] And it's a pleasure to meet you too, Eclispe.
Eclipse: You know, you and me are similar in some way. It's like we're brothers by blood.
Shadow: Hm...
Black Doom: Listen up, you two! Our last attack on Central City wasn't enough due to the interference of the blue hedgehog and his crew. I want to come up with a strategy.
Eclipse: What do you have in mind?
Black Doom: [Black Doom looks at the Space Colony ARK] I'll show you soon.
[The screen fades to black.]
