Metal Shadow emerges in a shadowy environment, his metallic form casting an imposing silhouette. With a voice that echoes with synthesized authority, he addresses the surroundings,

"Metal Shadow activated. Chaos protocols engaged. Objective: Locate and harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds for the glory of the Eggman Empire."

His optic sensors flare with a simulated red glow, conveying determination as he surveys the surroundings, ready to confront any obstacle with unyielding force.

"Chaos within under control. The true power lies in my metallic might. The Chaos Emeralds shall be harnessed, and their energy shall serve the dominion of Dr. Eggman."

As he strides forward, Metal Shadow believes himself to be the authentic Shadow, unaware of his artificial nature. His actions are driven by a sense of identity and purpose, reinforcing the illusion of authenticity as he embarks on the quest to locate and control the Chaos Emeralds for the grand design of Dr. Eggman.
