Set after the Zombot Saga but with a different direction, Shadow is left alone reflecting on his reckless actions during the outbreak. After Sonic and Silver's victory in curing the world, Shadow is plagued by guilt over the damage he caused while affected from the Metal Virus.
And thanks to that, Shadow decided himself to not be reckless again, but then. He snapped when a villain mentioned his deceased sister figure's name and disrespected her, then he killed them because of it, and that got the Jet Black Hedgehog to see himself as too dangerous, so he draws himself back from missions while seeking psychological help from P.E.A.C.E: Protection of Earth Against Catastrophic Events, the successor of G.U.N after the Eggman War.
Meanwhile, a threat had occurred which involved with the Chaos Emeralds, then Tikal, a ancient echidna guardian, is released from the Master Emerald, came back as she's here to help. While at that, Shadow eventually got involved as well, even though he tried to stay out.
Their paths soon cross, sparking a connection between the two. As Shadow continues his journey of redemption, he must confront the question: Can he find happiness with Tikal, or will he remain distant and alone, burdened by his past?.
Another thing, this has some mixes with the SCU, but other than that, I hope you enjoy it.
p.s, I don't own Sonic The Hedgehog or the characters, they belong to Sega.
