Golden morning light washes over the bustling market of Badgerville, a scene of peaceful commerce and chatter. The peace is violently shattered by a mechanical roar. Dr. Eggman's machines descend from the sky, and at his side stands a dark hedgehog, fists clenched, crimson eyes scanning the panic with cold intent. Amy, Tails, Knuckles, and Sticks move to engage the doctor, holding him at bay. In the center of the square, a blur of blue and black collides—Sonic and Shadow locked in a fierce clash. Just as Sonic lands a glancing strike, Shadow retaliates with a vicious, empowered dash that sends his rival stumbling backward. Shadow hisses, "What the hell!?"—and his burning glare snaps abruptly to you, you.
