A GUN military helicopter was flying over Station Square and Shadow was a prisoner onboard the craft.

"Attention, Control, we are currently heading south. Suspect is in custody." Pilot said on the radio.

"This is Control speaking. We've verified your position. Handle suspect carefully. He's a slippery little guy." Mission Control said over the radio.

Shadow was handcuffed and sitting between two GUN soldiers.

"You're awful quiet." a Soldier said.

"So what?" Shadow asked.

"Well, from what I heard, you've caused quite a ruckus over at Prison Island the other night. Now we can't get two words out of you."

"Guess I'm not feeling like it today."

Another soldier stood up and menaced him with his gun.

"You better watch that smart mouth, hedgehog, or you'll be running laps in a ten-by-nine cell."

Suddenly Shadow created a ruckus on the chopper.

"What's going on up there?" Mission Control asked over the radio.

Then Shadow emerged from the helicopter and landed on the stabilizer wing.

"I have to get these people." Shadow said.

"Hey! What do you think you're doin'? Come back!" the soldier said.

Shadow sawed off the stabilizer wing and rode it down toward the city. He landed in a skating rink, rode it across a half-pipe, and ditched it.

'What's going on?' he thought.

At GUN HQ.

"Suspect located!" Officer said.

"Deploy robots immediately!" another said.

"Roger!" another said.

In Central City Shadow reached the top of a hill on one of the roads, only to be met with a swarm of GUN Beetles that force him to run in opposite direction.

"I have to get away!" he said and dodged their laser damaging stoplights, cars, and even buildings. "They mean business!" he said and ducked down a manhole while the Beetles flew past.

Soon he was walking through the sewer.

"Could I possibly sink any lower?" he asked. "What am I running away from, anyway? I mean, I haven't done anything wrong, have I? I just wonder what it is they think I did..." he said to himself.

Elsewhere Chris was walking in the sidewalk with another kid.

"Hey Chris, I heard you come from Station Square." a kid said.

"Uh... Yeah?" Chris said.

"Have you ever seen Sonic Hedgehog up close?"

"Uh... Sonic? Well... sorta."

"What's she like? Are she and that Shadow really that fast?"

"You bet they're fast! Sonic's faster than anybody then Shadow, and they're nicer than anybody, too."

"Wish I could meet them. Heh, who knows, if we're lucky, maybe we'll both get to meet them someday."

"Well, I gotta get to class. Later!"

"See ya!"

As the kid left, Chris looked skyward.

In the President's limo Christina was reading a report.
