Shadow fell painfully. Everything hurt, but he was glad that Sonic and his friends found him. After saving the planet, Shadow fell right onto it. He was badly injured, as he was thrown back by the explosion, but he was alive. That was good.

He lived with Sonic and his family now. Slowly but surely, he became friends with them all, and Tom even forgave him for the incident with the punch. But one day, a meteorite fell to the earth.

Of course, they all immediately went to the crash site. A meteorite... Shadow recognized it. It was the same stone that scientists had taken him from. But Shadow was sure that he was the only hedgehog like that!

They approached the meteorite and, using Knuckles' power, opened it. A hedgehog fell out of the meteorite. Same as Shadow, only black and purple instead of black and red. Shadow sat down next to the hedgehog, the rest of his friends also crowded around.
