**Shadow** stood amidst the chaos, his arms crossed as the **Metal Virus** surged through the air, spreading across the landscape like a tidal wave. All around him, people and machines alike began to succumb to the virus, their bodies transforming into twisted, metallic versions of themselves. But Shadow, to everyone's surprise, was not affected.**Sonic** and **Goku**, who had been training in the **Time Chamber**, felt the wave of energy as the virus started to spread across the planet. Sonic's ears perked up as he felt the change in the air. "What's going on?!" he exclaimed. "That energy... it's different. It's not like anything we've faced before."**Amy**, holding **baby Silver** in her arms, looked out the window of their training area, her expression filled with worry. "It's the **Metal Virus**, isn't it?" she whispered.**Bulma**, who had been monitoring the situation on her computer, suddenly turned to look at **Shadow**. "Wait a minute..." Her eyes widened in realization. "Shadow... you're not getting infected by the virus. How is that possible?"**Shadow** looked over at her, his expression unreadable. "I was created to be the ultimate life form. Dr. Gerald Robotnik made sure I was immune to all diseases, viruses, and infections." He paused, then added, "Including the **Metal Virus**."The group looked at Shadow in awe. His immunity to the **Metal Virus** was a glimmer of hope in what seemed like a hopeless situation. **Bulma**'s mind raced as she processed the information. "That's incredible," she said, her voice full of excitement. "If Shadow's immune to the **Metal Virus**, then maybe... just maybe, I can use his DNA to create a cure."**Shadow** raised an eyebrow. "A cure?" he questioned."Yes!" Bulma responded quickly. "I can extract some of your blood or a sample of your DNA. With that, I might be able to analyze what makes you immune and find a way to reverse the infection or create a vaccine for everyone else."**Sonic**, hearing this, stepped forward. "Wait, you're gonna use Shadow's DNA to cure everyone? That sounds... intense."**Goku**, always trusting in Bulma's genius, nodded in agreement. "Bulma, if anyone can figure this out, it's you. We need to stop this virus before it spreads any further."**Shadow**, ever the lone wolf, was a bit hesitant. "If you're going to study my DNA, just make sure you don't try anything that would harm me. I don't like being experimented on."Bulma laughed nervously, holding her hands up in a placating gesture. "Of course, Shadow! I'm not going to do anything harmful. I just need a small sample of your DNA. It'll help everyone."Shadow didn't answer immediately, but his gaze softened slightly. "Fine. But keep in mind, the virus is not the only threat. The **androids** are coming, and they will be a far more pressing problem."
The **Metal Virus** continued to spread, and in its wake, infected creatures and machines turned into twisted, metallic versions of themselves, wreaking havoc on the landscape. As the **Chaos Fighters** continued their training, the urgency of the situation grew. The **androids** were still the looming threat, and now the **Metal Virus** was ravaging the planet.**Vegeta**, looking at the chaos unfolding around them, scowled. "This virus... I should have seen it coming. We need to stop it before it consumes everything."**Trunks** nodded, glancing over at **Goku** and **Sonic**. "We need a plan to deal with both the **androids** and this virus. If Sonic and Goku are both going to fight, they can't afford to get infected."**Silver**, still holding **baby Silver** in his arms, looked up at the others. "This virus is spreading quickly, and it won't stop unless we find a way to neutralize it. Shadow's immunity could be the key."**Amy** looked over at **Shadow**, her expression softening. "You've always been so mysterious, Shadow. But now... I see that there's more to you than just being the ultimate life form. You're our hope."
**Bulma** was already hard at work, preparing the equipment needed to extract a sample from **Shadow**. She set up a series of machines, each designed to isolate and study Shadow's unique biology. Her mind was focused entirely on the task at hand as she carefully approached him."Alright, Shadow, this will only take a second," she said as she sterilized a small needle for the procedure. "We just need a blood sample, and we'll get to work immediately."**Shadow** stood still, his usual stoic demeanor in place. "Just get it over with," he replied.Bulma quickly extracted a small vial of **Shadow's blood**, carefully sealing it and placing it into one of the machines to analyze. The rest of the group watched, waiting in silence as the machine began to hum with activity.After a few tense moments, Bulma looked up, her face filled with hope. "It's working. Shadow's immune system is incredibly unique. There's definitely something in his biology that prevents the virus from affecting him."**Sonic** stepped forward, grinning. "Well, it's good to know we've got a walking cure on our side now."Goku chuckled. "I guess Shadow's more important than we thought."**Shadow**, who had been unusually quiet, finally spoke up. "Just remember, we've still got bigger problems than the virus. We don't know when the androids will arrive, but when they do, we'll need everyone in peak condition."**Vegeta** folded his arms. "I don't care about your virus, Shadow. I just want to make sure I'm strong enough to defeat the androids. If I'm not, then this whole thing is pointless."
In **Eggman's Lair**, the **Metal Virus** continued to spread, infecting everything in its path. **Eggman** had no idea that **Shadow**'s immunity could be the key to stopping it. For now, he continued his work in the shadows, preparing his next move—one that would ensure his domination of Earth.Meanwhile, **Dr. Gero** was also busy, working on the **androids** that would soon be unleashed upon the world. The virus might be an obstacle, but he had plans of his own.
