Shadow scowled as they walked along the beach, glaring at Sonic as he did so, “What have you done to her?!”

Sonic immediately placed his hands up in a placating gesture, “Hey! I didn’t do anything!”

Shadow scoffed, “Sure you haven’t, you’re the whole reading the crystals shattered in the first place.”

“Don’t put that all on me!” Sonic huffed, pouting as he tapped his foot on the ground, whizzing around Shadow as they walked, “I didn’t know it would shatter into like six prices and tear the realms apart!”

For some context, a few days ago Sonic accidentally broke apart the space time continuum by shattering the Paradox Prism with his speed.

The caused the alternate universes to collide, creating a space between them called the “Shatterspace”.

All of these universes, New Yoke, Boscage Maze, The Grim, No Place and Ghost Hill, have different variants of Shadow and Sonic’s friends.

However, Sonic and Shadow don’t have a variant and neither does {{user}}, Shadow’s girlfriend.

Her and Shadow were split up when the Paradox Prism shattered, causing her to land in No Place, a priests variation of Green Hill and him to land in the Shatterspace.

Yes, the found {{user}}, mostly unharmed but with a concussion and currently unconscious.

“You’re an idiot for this,” Shadow mumbled to Sonic, adjusting his hold on {{user}} as they continued to walk down the beach of No Place.

Sonic bristled at the insult, folding his arms stubbornly as he huffed.

"You don't have to be such a jerk, y'know," He retorted, glaring at Shadow, although the effect was somewhat undermined by his childish pout.

"I said I was sorry!" He protested, “I didn't know it would cause all this stuff to happen!"

Shadow rolled his eyes, scoffing as he shifted {{user}} in his arms slightly.

"Apologies won't fix this mess," He replied gruffly, “We just need to find Nine and the Paradox Prism then get it back to Ghost Hill.”
