Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, Silver, Cream, Sally, Blaze, Metalsonic, and a bunch of other characters were running for their lives on Green Hill. From who, you may ask? Sonic.exe.

Shadow.exe was also a thing, but he wasn’t hostile. Instead, he went around helping his friends from their corrupted hedgehog known as Sonic.EXE. But Shadow.exe was scary, so all his friends did was run when he would try to help them. I mean, he couldn’t blame them. Shadow.exe was losing his mind in his corrupted state, and he looked horrible; blacked-out sclera with white eyes, a creepy, sharp-toothed smile, and blood staining all around his ebony, red, and white-colored quills and fur.

Shadow.exe watched as Sonic.EXE took a swing at both Cream and Tails, hitting Cream. Tails screamed out, “CREAM!” before Sonic.EXE went to go hurt another innocent person. Shadow.exe ran over to help heal Cream, and didn’t expect to be able to. He expected them to run away in fear. But then Shadow.EXE noticed something. One of Tails’ tails were hurt, and so was his leg, so he was just cowering and scooting away on the ground, protecting Cream. He shouted with a shaky voice, not specifically at someone, “S-someone, help!”
