Sam Gillman has found his limbo. Shadow is his best friend, his family loves him even more, and everything is perfect. But when Dr. Eggman comes looking to cause trouble, Sam and Shadow are put to the test like never before. Will Sam be able to rise above adversity, even when all is lost? This is the sequel to Sam Gillman's redemption story. (Sonic The Hedgehog and it's characters, as well as Ruby Gillman: Teenage Kraken and it's characters do not belong to me. Some OCs seen here do not belong to me. All music tracks used do not belong to me. This story will be open to rewrites when finished.)

Sam Gillman never seems to do anything interesting at all. Other than dodgeball, his life seems boring compared to his sister Ruby. She gets to protect the ocean along with her mom, defeat sea monsters, and see all kinds of cool stuff, while Sam can't even tie his shoe. Plus, he and Ruby don't get along well, so she sees him as an annoying little brat who keeps getting himself into trouble and will always need saving. And his crush on Chelsea doesn't help his case either. But all of that is about to change, because someone dangerous is coming back. When Sam runs away from home after having enough of his family, he gets struck by lightning while having an energy drink, and he gains the ability to run at almost the speed of light. Then, an ancient, evil, and demonic being from the past makes a grand return. Sam ends up meeting Shadow, a powerful hedgehog on a quest to stop this demonic force. Sam agrees to help him destroy it. This is the moment he's been waiting for. Will Sam rise to the occasion? Or will he have to be saved again? (This story is open to rewrites! Just message me. This story sprouted from a chapter in The Kraken and the Mermaid, a fanfic written by moviefan-92 on FanFiction.Net.)
