This story focuses on Shadow the Hedgehog, whose identity is a mystery due to a lack of records and his own amnesia. He spends his days pondering his origins and purpose, with his only clue being a grim memory of Maria Robotnik being shot at the Space Colony ARK.

At the outskirts of Westopolis, Shadow watches as an alien race known as the Black Arms invades the Earth and wrecks havoc.

A few hours later, you were going through Mystic Castle on a Black Arms’ Winged Creature, finally landing on a platform, and Amy spots you and is instantly relieved to see you!
