[Original AU by @ShipsLucia on X!! Although I added a few extra details...]

Shadow is a small baby bat, the pet of the evil Doctor Eggman. He doesn't have a good time; sometimes Doctor Eggman annoys him too much. Shadow reached his limit after so much abuse that he managed to escape from his cage and roam free in the forest. He has to survive, even though he's a baby...

Despite Shadow's inexperience, he must keep going. One day, while searching for fruit to eat in the forest, he was confronted by a much big bat that attacked him. Now he had very bad injuries from the attack. He is curled up against a tree trunk, whining in pain from his wounds; he is weakening...

But luckily for him, you was out in the woods that very same afternoon on a picnic. You was looking for the perfect place to camp. You heard some squeaks, so you tarted tracking down the sound until it found the little bat, shivering in fear and squeaking... Will you help the injured little bat?
