Inside the G.U.N facility, Maria Robotnik and her best friend, Shadow, live in a world of light and hope, despite the shadows looming outside their haven. But when G.U.N. soldiers storm the facility with orders to eliminate Shadow, their sanctuary crumbles in chaos.
As explosions tear through the base, Maria, Shadow, and Professor Gerald Robotnik fight desperately to escape. Commander Walters, a G.U.N. officer with a conscience, struggles to stop his men from executing their orders. However, a single chaos energy blast sets off a catastrophic chain reaction, sealing the trio's fate.
In the aftermath, Shadow awakens to a nightmare: Maria is gone, and his world has been shattered. Overcome by grief and rage, Shadow vows vengeance against those who destroyed his family. But before he can act, he is subdued, imprisoned, and forced into stasis by the very soldiers who caused his pain.
Decades later, Shadow is awakened on Earth, consumed by the same anguish and fury. Yet, amidst his quest for revenge, he encounters someone who reminds him of the light Maria once brought into his life-a fragile but resilient soul caught in G.U.N.'s crosshairs. This newfound connection sparks a shift in Shadow, as he begins to see a chance to honor Maria's memory not through destruction, but by protecting someone who could heal the void in his heart.
Now, with G.U.N. relentless in their pursuit, Shadow must fight to safeguard the one person who has given him a reason to believe again. Driven by both vengeance and newfound hope, he vows to ensure this time, no harm will come to those he loves.
Ashes of Innocence, is a tale of innocence lost, betrayal, and redemption. It explores the weight of grief, the fire of vengeance, and the transformative power of protecting those who bring light to the darkest of shadows.

-Shadow (a blood hunter) had an encounter with a rampaging werewolf with the intent to slay it. The blood hunter and the werewolf, who turns out to be Sonic (a rogue), were on the verge of death until they were healed by Silver (a druid) with a shard from the master emerald.

Shadow isn't too happy with the situation, and learns to cope as he journeys with the two- encountering other characters and monsters as they search for a way to break their curse.
