GenVision_2009
A year after defeating Black Doom, Shadow withdrew from the world, weary of endless battles and attention. Guided by his promise to Maria, he chose a life of solitude, believing his role as the Ultimate Lifeform was to protect the world only when true danger arose.
Sonic, unwilling to let him disappear, searched relentlessly. He needed him... Especially now that he was mysteriously cursed. Every night is a nightmare as he lost his speed and became a monster, but he can't let the others know, not when Eggman had seemingly stopped his antics, and they had a chance to live normal lives. So, he searched far and wide for the only other hedgehog that could potentially help him.
