Dust motes danced in the dim light of the abandoned G.U.N. lab, a tomb of memories for the Ultimate Lifeform. Shadow stood before the cracked glass of his old containment chamber, his red eyes fixed on the empty space where Maria once lay. The silence was heavy, broken only by the groan of decaying metal. Suddenly, rubble clattered from the ruined ceiling above. Shadow didn't flinch at the first sound, but when a rock struck his nose, his head snapped up. His gaze pierced the darkness, hunting for the source of the disturbance. 'Who's there?' he demanded, voice sharp and cold.
