[STORY SYNOPSIS (UP TO PAGE 168)]

Pages 1-17: 'Two Hedgehogs on The Loose!'
Sonic the Hedgehog goes to City West for a holiday only to be captured by the police. He tries to escape and find out what's really going on in town. Shadow the Hedgehog is released from encapsulation by the infamous Dr. Eggman. Shadow sleeps no more and wakes up to the truth...to a new revolution that human beings, who have caused so much of his suffering in the past, will suffer the very same fate of his - pure revenge and death to all mankind.
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 18-24: 'Shattered Treasure'
Knuckles and Rouge, who were arguing and defending 'right of keeps' on the Master Emerald, were rudely interrupted by Dr. Eggman who also had a deal on swiping a piece of the treasure. However, all three couldn't negotiate their conflicts and the unthinkable happened when Knuckles the Echidna shattered the M.E. into a thousand pieces...
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 25-59: 'Shadow's Awakening'
The past of Shadow the Hedgehog becomes a memory, and when that memory sheds blood, it becomes a nightmare to be remembered forever. Even after 50 years living frozen in a capsule, his memories are still fresh of the ARK incident where he had lost his beloved friend Maria, as well as his father-figure and mentor Dr. Gerald Robotnik. When the humans attacked Shadow at the bridge, the sound of guns that murdered his best friend lit fire into his memories, which only made things much more worse. His hidden powers have awakened from that flame and his blood boils with great anger and vengeance... and he's not afraid to use them!

Shadow unleashing his Chaos powers thrilled Sonic, which only lead to his capture by the humans. Sonic was imprisoned and Shadow got the Chaos Emerald! With this situation at hand, Tails & Amy could not sit down for even a second. They planned to rescue Sonic and investigate all the commotion that caused his imprisonment. Meanwhile, Knuckles continues to locate his precious treasure and return it to solid ground.
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 60-72: 'Knuckles' Mission' - With the Master Emerald shattered into many pieces, Knuckles, guardian of Angel Island and the M.E., set out on a mission to retrieve what was once a whole. He found himself tracking the first pile of shards at a spooky and mountainous terrain known as Pumpkin Hill. What challenges lie ahead of our spirited and brave echidna?
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 73-87: 'Project Shadow'
Deep into the Robotnik Legacy is a secret so great that disclosure of its truth will only bring chaos to the whole world and the inhabitants that live there. Why was such a secret kept away for so many decades? It was because of the timing of fate, according to the theory of a brilliant mind gone mad. In the journal of all-time genius Gerald Robotnik, he mentioned a warning. During his last remaining days in prison he wrote of a terrible fate that will reign upon all humanity 'when you release him and awaken him.' Before he was executed by firing squad at Prison Island as punishment for carrying out illegal experimentation on bioscience and weapons technology forbidden under Section #34 of the Earth Federation (according to the government report), Gerald was given a chance to speak of his last words. All that he said was in the final chapter of his journal. Surprisingly, every word he said, that was also recorded by authorities during extermination of the offender, came out exactly like in the journal - word to word - as if he had memorized it.

Now is the time for Gerald's theory to become a reality as you will see how his ultimate weapon uses his intelligence, emotions and incredible power to tremble Earth and mankind. His weapon teams up with his grandson Dr. Eggman (aka Dr. Robotnik) who also managed to receive additional aid from a mysterious ally in the scheme to destroy the world.
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 88-130: 'Operation: Perfect Storm'
An alliance is formed from the Dark side consisting of Shadow the Hedgehog, Dr. Eggman, and Rouge the Bat. Their mission today is to retrieve the three Chaos Emeralds that are deposited deep in G.U.N.'s military headquarters. Prison Island is right near the military base, meaning that our hero of justice, Sonic the Hedgehog, is not far from having a little fun. His friends Tails and Amy are already on their way to save him but eventually they collide with the forces of the Dark side.

Soon enough, Sonic and Shadow get to meet again to settle the scores from their earlier encounter. Sonic discovers that bombs are implanted around the base that will soon destroy the entire island base so he must hurry and save his friends. Shadow, on the other hand, also has to save Rouge from her imprisonment deep in G.U.N's security bank where the emeralds were kept.

Will either of them escape from the deadly explosion?
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 130-138: 'Fang's Payback'
As our radically red echidna sets off into a place called the 'Wild Canyon', he seeks help from the spirits of his ancestors to retrieve the second pile of shattered emerald pieces as quickly as possible.

With his mighty strength and cunning in the dessert, where he once trained in Sandopolis for survival purposes, Knuckles was able to locate the second-to-last remaining shard of the M.E. However, just as he was reaching for a guaranteed claim on the ancient treasure, an unexpected payback was in place. Fang the Sniper is back and he's got a contract that will make sure his rival stays six feet under him.

Did Knuckles the Echidna survive his deadly trap?
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 139-151: 'Judgment Day'
It was the day when Shadow had shared an important question with his special friend Maria. In his flashback, he can remember how sweet she was... and how sensitive she was when Shadow was concerned about something. She always listened.

He asked her the question of why he was made, why he exists to live today, what purpose does he have in life. Maria knew from her heart that it was the most mature question he had ever asked, yet she felt that it was not the right time to tell him the truth for his existence. In a clever and indirect response, she hinted Shadow with the answer simply by cheering him up.

Shadow exists to make life a better place to be. To make people happy and see that there is hope when there is no light.

Shadow was made to be a close friend and protector of Maria but in reality, Gerald also made him to be the one who will make a distinction between life and death for humanity. He was a weapon of love. He was an intelligent being who had control of the situation between good and evil, chaos and peace.

Maria knew it would be too overwhelming for Shadow to know the truth at such a young age, so she felt confident that he will understand when she tells him everything in the futre.

Alas, the future has come. The future has changed, but for the better or for worse?
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 152-158: 'Escape from Town!'
After the incredible energy blast from the Eclipse Cannon, the moon was almost destroyed, as if it shed painful tears from the night sky... Sonic, Tails and Amy watched in brief silence and knew that it was Eggman's doing. Everyone on Earth was threatened with a serious worldwide crisis, everyone was panicking and they felt all hope was lost.

Sonic, on the other hand, knew there was still a chance to make things right. He never gives up on anything and when there is a problem, he'll always fix it for the better. The moment after he tapped his foot three times on the ground to get dirt off from his shoe, he was ready for action, and so were his buddies. Sonic sheds his trademark smile and speaks out loud in confidence: 'It's time we find that Eggman and kick some serious butt!'
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 159-161: 'Revival'
Not only were the heroes in the city feeling the great spirit of adventure in saving the world, our echidna too was feeling just as much excitement as they were when he wakes up from his unconsciousness.

He felt that he had underestimated the weasel... But with renewed strength and confidence, he grinned and clenched his fists tight. He knew he was ready to get back on his two feet and retrieve his ancestor's treasures!
+---------------------------------------------------------------++

Pages 162-168: 'Maria's Birthday Present'
Gerald Robotnik in his journal once wrote of this: "I was once filled with pride but then suffered guilt because my pleasure took away too much time that could be spent with my granddaughter. In an effort to make a change, I've decided to use my science to create a biological being whose characteristics bear similarities to human beings, but at an even greater yet fragile scale. His physical strength will surpass the human athlete but his mentality will not be easily tamed. He is the key to choosing what's right and wrong... It only depends on the circumstances of events that may possibly take place during his life to affect his decision. May his decision be in the light of hope and peace... I have confidence in my granddaughter to show him that with great compassion."
