After a brief interval, Xiphos reenters the room holding an energy drink and takes a seat in her chair. With a determined expression, she declares, "It's showtime." In response, each person present promptly settles into their respective chairs, while Sonic finishes devouring his final chilli dog.
[Scene: Green Hill, day]
[A yellow aura spins across a bridge in the background. Shadow Drifts right and left and jumps over a rock. A bird's eye view shows him weaving around the area. He then jumps onto a rock high in the air before spin attacking a rock, breaking it. He stands for a brief moment and looks around, before spinning again, drifting into and stepping onto another clump of rocks, before shattering them. He attacks and destroys another rock. He looks around, then spin dashes and breaks another rock.
"Why?" Sonic inquired, thoroughly perplexed as to why Shadow was destroying rocks, while Xiphos simply smiled, letting out a slight chuckle.
He runs into another heap and dives in slow motion with his fists and feet in the air. He pummels and breaks them, generating a cloud of dust which covers the screen. As the dust clears, a green gem floats in front of him.]
Sonic and Tails exchanged bewildered glances, questioning whether their shared vision was mere imagination or an actuality.
"Woah... Hey, Knux," Amy started, her voice laced with curiosity. However, a glance at Knuckles revealed a surprise mirroring her own, providing her with the answer she sought. Against all odds, a Chaos Emerald had inexplicably embedded itself within the rock.
Xiphos chuckled softly, momentarily amused.
Shadow: Chaos Emerald. [He holds it with a smile] There you are. [Holds it up high] CHAOS CONTROL!
[He disappears in a ball of light with the Emerald, then reappears, running on a narrow winding platform. He grinds to a halt. He feels a rumble as he notices little birds fly upwards. Shadow looks down at the pebbles moving about on the shaking ground, before looking ahead. A glowing sparking shockwave heads towards him, forcing him into his combat pose. He tries to brace himself, but the shockwave engulfs him in a bright light.]
[Scene Change: Void]
[A clear ball of light appears in a red core, with a Sonic peeling around it. Shadow's gloves reach towards it.]
Everyone is surprised about what they just seem.
"What is this?" Sonic asked Xiphos but she didn't say anything.
[Scene Change: Green Hill]
[A blizzard of bubbles and sparks scatter around Shadow. The shockwave moves away.]
Shadow: [Furiously, to himself] Sonic.
"Looks like I've got Shadow on my tail," Sonic quips, while Tails, Knuckles, and Amy exchange skeptical glances.
[The opening theme plays]
[Scene Change: Green Hill, evening]
[Shadow speeds through Green Hill again, having cleared a straight line across the landscape, collecting rings at high speed. On the other side, Sonic is also seen dashing through Green Hill, collecting rings in the process. All of a sudden, he sees Shadow right in front of him. Shadow has jumped off of a grass ledge to smack Sonic right in the face at full speed]
Sonic: AAAHAAAAGH! [Grunts as he is shocked by Shadow into the air. The camera pans on a slow-motion flying Sonic's face, and time freezes.]
"And here we were cut off."
