## Plot

### A Prophecy Fulfilled

Following the events of the first episode, Sonic the Human has entered City Hall. He then tells everyone how he was brought back to life within a new form and who brought him back; Daedalus. Daedalus, through Sonic then proceeds to beat Jason King to a pulp. Sonic then breaks out of Daedauls’s control and walks off relishing in his own success and control.

### An Odd Job

At this time, Shadow and Elise are on Earth enjoying their time in a nice area. Elise starts to develop feelings for Shadow, but Shadow isn’t interested. This is probably just Daedalus exploring different ways to control him. He’s then called over by Team Chaotix to go on a surviellance mission for them.

### The Truth

Silver and the others back at the mayor’s office bring in a PlayStation 2 with the game Shadow the Hedgehog in it. Silver reveals to Eggman, Knuckles, and Tails that he can now control Shadow. During Daedalus Shadow’s mission, Silver takes control of Daedalus Shadow, through the game and finds Gerald and tries to get info out of him and then tries to kill him. Unfortunately Team Chaotix calls Daedalus Shadow back, ruining Silver’s murder attempt. After this, Silver explains his fabricated backstory. After \*this\*, Eggman and Tails enter the room with a device that will allow them to enter the game. They all fall to the ground, unconscious.

### Memories

Sonic, now in gothic clothing and red hair is still relishing in his success and control of the city, but he soon snaps out of it when a symbolic vision of Amy appears. Now back as himself, Sonic seeks out Shadow's aid due to his experience with amnesia.

### The Big Reveal

With Shadow’s return to the Chaotix base, Daedalus is finally able to take complete control of Shadow, while Silver gets preoccupied telling Knuckles about his fabricated story. Then Tails and Eggman bring in a device that will allow the gang to enter the game. Meanwhile, with the Chaotix, Rouge is with them and tells them about The Book of Prophecies. Shadow and the others then come up with a “plan” to kill Daedalus. Sonic shows up asking Shadow to help him remember what happened after his and Shadow’s conversation and before he became a human. Shadow then threatens Sonic, saying that if he crosses him, he’ll do worse than take Sonic’s memories. It’s then revealed that Shadow was, in fact, Daedalus. Everyone thought Shadow said he was dead, but Daedalus explains that he used his power over the mind to make him think he was dead. Rouge asks what happened to the "real" Shadow, and Daedalus states that he's been "dead" for years. Ever since the night of Elise's death, Daedalus had spread his influence over Shadow, slowly killing him from the inside. This is what he means when he says that "the real Shadow the Hedgehog has been dead for years."

### The Real Plan

After this, Gerald meets with the mayor after Silver, Eggman, Tails, and Knuckles had their minds transferred into the game. Gerald informs the mayor of who the real demon is (Silver) and now, he either intends to work with Silver or against. Eggman and the others wake up, but Knuckles and Tails have lost their memories. They all exit the room as a TV screen plays the opening stage to Sonic Adventure 2. It is then turned off by someone unknown.
