If Shadow loses a race and has an Emerald, he has no choice but to give the Emerald he won previously back (This means Shadow would have to win seven races in a row in order to collect all of the Emeralds).

The first one to retrieve the Emerald wins it. In this kind of race, a Chaos Emerald is always used to mark the finish line. So I told Shadow that if, and only if, he beats me in a race, he would win one of the Chaos Emeralds. Of all people! Seriously? And what the heck does the word, 'adolescence', mean? He also rants about how the Emeralds should not be in the hands of a teenager like me. With all seven in hand, one can become unstoppable! Too powerful to defeat! But you guys already knew that.Īnyways, because of his want for the Chaos Emeralds, he makes up excuses saying that I'm too irresponsible because of my immorality and 'adolescence'. Blecch! An ego as big as his could really drive one nuts!Īnd the guy's obviously obsessed with power, which is what the Chaos Emeralds are practically made of. Shadow always has to refer to himself as the 'Ultimate Lifeform' since he's immortal and all-powerful and whatnot. He's a Mobian Hedgehog like me.Ī stubborn, self-absorbed Hedgehog, that is. But at the time, he was more of a rival than a friend. A friend of mine started one for himself not very long ago. And along the way, you start many other races of your own. You never know where the race will take you, where the finish line is, or whether or not you'll win. Once you start, you always have to avoid obstacles from beginning to end. This story is told by Shadow, Sonic, and Luna themselves sharing their sides of the story to form one big adventure!
