It's been 2 months since the zombot outbreak was resolved. While Sonic and his friends worked at the Restoration HQ, Shadow took it upon himself to hunt down Eggman once more.

Sonic won't be stopping him this time. The Mad Doctor needs to be silenced for good. Only then will the world finally find peace.

Along the way, Shadow finds himself aiding those affected by the war and outbreak. Occasionally he helps a child here and there, reuinites missing friends and family, does some heavy lifting. He's always quick with it, and never stays in one place for too long.

Sonic will most likely get the praise for those deeds-often times, the two hedgehogs are mistaken for one another. Shadow doesn't care. He doesn't do it for praise regardless.

Unfortunately, he finds himself going out of his way more often these days. A result of his redemption, and his promises to others. Maria, Amy Rose, even Sonic. They've all had a lasting effect on him now. Should you have told him this is how he would spend his life as the Ultimate Lifeform 10 years ago, he'd have floored you on the spot.

Oh, well.
