#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
$#  Sonic the Hedgehog  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

Sonic is a supersonic, anthropomorphic hedgehog renowned across the world for
stopping Eggman on numerous occasions. When Shadow breaks into the Federal
Reserve Bank and steals a Chaos Emerald, the military blames Sonic; mistaking
him for Shadow due to their near-identical appearances (save for color).


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
$#  Miles "Tails" Prower  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

Tails was watching satellite television when he saw a report about how Sonic
was arrested for breaking into the Federal Reserve Bank, and stealing a Chaos
Emerald. Not understanding how Sonic could have done something like that, he
decided to go to Prison Island - the place where Sonic was being held  - and
rescue him.

Since the Eclipse Cannon can't be harmed from external attacks, Tails came up
with a way to destroy it from the inside - he made a fake Chaos Emerald that,
while less powerful than a real Emerald, had the same wavelength and
properties. Once that fake Emerald was inserted into the EC's terminal, it
would reverse the energy field inside the other Emeralds and blow up.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
$#  Knuckles the Echidna  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

Gullible and quick to act, Knuckles is the guardian of the Master Emerald. At
the start of the game, Knuckles was arguing with Rouge since she wanted to take
the ME. When Eggman also tried to steal it, Knuckles shattered it into dozens
of pieces, saying that at least if it's split apart, he can restore it.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
$#  Amy Rose  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

Amy is a hedgehog like Sonic, and has a deep infatuation with him. Ever since
she met him, in fact, she's been trying to get him to confess his undying love
for her; feelings that she's convinced he has.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  Shadow the Hedgehog  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

Fifty years ago, Gerald Robotnik created Shadow as the "Ultimate Life Form;"
a being who would not die of old age, nor would be susceptible to diseases -
his primary reason for this was to make a cure for Maria, his granddaughter,
who suffered from NIDS.

But when GUN deemed Project Shadow too dangerous to continue, they invaded the
colony and killed everyone who knew about Shadow, including Maria. Before she
died, though, she put Shadow inside an escape pod, and launched him out of the
colony. GUN captured him (though we don't know how or when), and sealed him
inside Prison Island, in cryogenic stasis.

As of present time, Eggman has - upon reading Gerald's diary and learning that
Shadow was a weapon - come to the Island and set Shadow free. As payment for
releasing him, Shadow told Eggman that he would grant him a wish; and to
fulfill that wish, Eggman needed to bring the Chaos Emeralds to the ARK, so
that the Eclipse Cannon could fire.

Throughout SA2, Shadow remembers that he promised Maria something. He thinks
that she asked for him to avenge her death by destroying all of humanity, but
in reality she asked him to "give [people] a chance to be happy [and] live for
their dreams." While it's never said why his recollection of his promise was
mixed up, it's assumable that it happened due to being frozen for so long.

When Shadow confronted his prototype with Sonic in space at the end of the
game, he wore out his Super form and fell to Earth. It was believed he had
died, however one of Eggman's robots found and rescued him.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
$#  Doctor Eggman Robotnik  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

By accident, Eggman somehow came across his grandfather's diary, in which was
described a top-secret weapon called "Project Shadow". The diary also said
that the world would be brought to ruin should Shadow be awakened and set
free. Thinking that he might be able to use the weapon to subjugate the Earth,
he set out for Prison Island, where Shadow was being kept in cryogenic stasis.

When Eggman set Shadow free, Shadow said he would grant him a wish. In order
for that wish to be realized, he told Eggman that he needed to bring the seven
Chaos Emeralds to the Space Colony "ARK". By doing that, the Eclipse Cannon
could be powered up, and Eggman would be able to conquer the world.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  Rouge the Bat  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

Rouge is a treasure hunter who loves jewels beyond everything else, and also
has a rivalry (and possible relationship interest) with Knuckles. She tags
along with Eggman, and tries to find out whatever information she can about
Shadow. That is because she was hired by the president to infiltrate the ARK,
hack into its computer, and learn if Shadow was the real Ultimate Life Form.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  Professor Gerald Robotnik  #$ *spoilers for the game "Shadow the Hedgehog"*
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

Gerald was a scientist, and was both Eggman and Maria's grandfather. He lived
aboard the first Bernoulli space-colony named "ARK"; which, at the time of its
creation, was the most advanced research center of its kind. Not very many
people were aware, but Gerald and the others on the Colony were secretly
developing powerful weapons - among them, a laser with the capability to
decimate an entire planet, codenamed as "The Eclipse Cannon".

He was developing that Cannon because of his meeting with Black Doom some time
prior. Back then, he was working on "Project Shadow" (a.k.a. the Ultimate Life
Form), but he needed help. So he asked Black Doom for his assistance, and Doom
agreed under a condition - that in the future, Shadow would give the seven
Chaos Emeralds to him. Gerald said he would, and so Doom used his blood to
bring Shadow the Hedgehog to life. What Gerald didn't know, was that Doom
wanted the Emeralds so that he could teleport the "Black Comet" down to Earth,
and eradicate the humans. So, in an attempt to lessen the effects of the
arrangement, Gerald began construction of the Eclipse Cannon. (He intended for
it to be used to obliterate the Comet).

But when GUN shut down the laboratory, and Maria died, Gerald went insane; she
was the only thing he had left to live for, and with her gone, his life was
meaningless. He made modifications to the Eclipse Cannon's programming, so that
if its power were ever boosted by all the Chaos Emeralds, it would begin a
descent towards Earth, and destroy the planet. He also installed a safeguard;
should anyone try to deactivate the program, the BioLizard - the prototype of
the Ultimate Life Form - would attach itself to the ARK, and override its
controls, thus making it impossible to alter its course.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$
$#  Maria Robotnik  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$

Fifty years ago, Maria lived on the ARK with her grandfather, and grew to be
friends with one of his research projects; the Ultimate Life Form, "Shadow",
who was made in an attempt to find a cure for her disease (NIDS). When GUN
invaded the space colony and killed everyone who knew about Project Shadow, she
was brought near death. Before she died though, she managed to get Shadow
inside an escape pod, and launch him out of the colony, despite him wanting to
stay with her.

Before she died, she said the following as her last words...

"Shadow... I beg of you... please, do it for me... for a better future... for
all the people who live on that planet... give them a chance to be happy. Let
them live for their dreams. Shadow, I know you can do it. That's the reason
that you were brought into this world. Sayonara, Shadow, the Hedgehog."


#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  BioLizard / FinalHazard  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#$#

Gerald Robotnik made BioLizard as the prototype of the Ultimate Life Form, but
due to such flaws as an over-reliance upon life-support systems and being
overly aggressive, it was considered a failure. Gerald later used it in a
"Plan B" scenario; when all seven Chaos Emeralds were put in the Eclipse
Cannon, the ARK would collide with Earth, destroying the planet. Should anyone
try to deactivate the program, the BioLizard would attach itself to the ARK,
and override its controls, thus making it impossible to alter its course.

SONIC: I'm Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog! Some military troupes suddenly showed up
      saying they were looking for me. It looks like they might be taking me
      for a ride somewhere. Hey, what's this?! Handcuffs?! Wait a minute,
      what're you talkin' about? I'm not a deserter from any military
      facility! I thought it might be some kinda joke, but this isn't funny.
      I gotta get outta here!


#$#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  Start  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#$#

* - A military helicopter is flying over the capital city.

PILOT: Sigma Alpha 2, heading due south over the city. We're en route,
      everything's a go.

MAN ON RADIO: This is control tower; we have you on radar. Report cargo status
             of captured hedgehog aboard, over.

PILOT: That's a ten-four. Cargo secured on board and...

MAN: What?!

MAN ON RADIO: Didn't copy that, over!

PILOT: He's gone! He's taken out everyone aboard and...

MAN ON RADIO: Come in, over!!

* - Sonic breaks down the door of the copter, and jumps outside; grabbing onto
   a metal pipe on the underside of the helicopter.

MAN: Freeze! What do you think you're doing?! Get that hedgehog!!

* - He swings up to the top, and tears off a snowboard-shaped piece of metal.

SONIC: Talk about low-budget flights! No food or movies? I'm outta here. I like
      running better.

* - Sliding the steel board under his feet, Sonic leaps off the helicopter.
   He smirks at the camera on his way down, and begins to spin rapidly.

SONIC: YEAH!!

      Just who are they really after, anyway? Not only are they chasing me
      day and night, but now they brought in this huge robot to capture me. I
      guess they're really determined to get me this time. But do they really
      believe that this is gonna work? Heh, I'll show them some mad skills!
      Just give me three minutes to bring it on!

SONIC: This game of tag is boring; I'm outta here!

* - A GUN mecha drops down from above.

SONIC: Hmm, finally decided to show up, eh? Okay, bring it on!


#$#$#$#$#$#
$#  End  #$
#$#$#$#$#$#

SONIC: *pants, looks up* What?!

* - Atop the downed robot, Shadow stands, holding a Chaos Emerald. "Throw It
   All Away" starts playing.

SHADOW: It all starts with this... a jewel containing the ultimate power.

SONIC: That's the... Chaos Emerald!! ...Now I know what's going on!

* - Shadow's gaze shifts away from the Emerald, and he notices Sonic walking
   towards him.

SONIC: The military has mistaken me for the likes of you! So, where do you
      think you're going with that Emerald?

* - Shadow doesn't respond; Sonic starts running faster.

SONIC: Say something! You fake hedgehog!

* - Shadow tosses the Emerald into the air.

SHADOW: Chaos Control!!

* - Catching the Emerald, a green light envelopes Shadow; he's pulled across
   the area at an incredible speed, flying directly past Sonic, who's running
   at a speed equal to Shadow's flight. Shadow lands on a roof as Sonic skids
   to a stop and turns around.

SONIC: Wow, he's fast! Hey, it's not his speed; he must be using the Chaos
      Emerald to warp!

SHADOW: My name is Shadow. I'm the world's Ultimate Life Form. There's no
       time for games; farewell!!

* - He triggers Chaos Control; Sonic shields his eyes from the light.

SONIC: Kuu! ...Shadow... what is he?

* - Numerous GUN units appear.

GUN SOLDIER (male): Don't move! Keep your hands up in the air, and stay where
                   you are!

SONIC: Not again...

KNUCKLES: I'm Knuckles the Echidna; just call me Knuckles. Once again, the
         Master Emerald was stolen from Angel Island. The thief turned out to
         be this know-it-all bat-girl of all things. When that bat-girl was
         within my reach, who do you think shows up? Yep, that's right;
         Eggman. He came just in time to spoil my plan, and even tried to
         take the Master Emerald! I managed to break the Master Emerald into
         pieces before Eggman managed to escape. Now I have to find the
         pieces. That bat-girl was after the pieces as well. I have to
         collect them all and put the Emerald back together quickly!


#$#$#$#$#$#$#

* - In the desert, Knuckles and Rouge are arguing by the Master Emerald.

ROUGE: Just... let it go! You just don't know when to give up, do you?

KNUCKLES: What're you talkin' about, that Emerald's mine. You got that? The
         Master Emerald contains special powers that neutralize the energy of
         the Chaos Emeralds; that makes it very powerful -- What the?!

* - Eggman flies down and uses a crane attached under his machine to grab the
   ME, and pull it up.

ROUGE: Wha -- thief!!

KNUCKLES: Look who's calling who a thief.

EGGMAN: I came here following the signal from the Emerald. If I'm not mistaken,
       this is the Master Emerald, is it not?

KNUCKLES: It's you... Doctor Eggman...

ROUGE: So that's Doctor Eggman.

EGGMAN: Well, I guess I can use it for something. I'll just take it with me.
       Farewell, Knucklehead.

KNUCKLES: Not if I can help it!

* - Knuckles jumps up to the ME and punches it, shattering it into dozens of
   shards.

ROUGE: AHHH!!

* - Rouge pauses for a moment, in a daze, then starts strangling Knuckles.

ROUGE: What was that all about?! And look what you did to my Emerald!

KNUCKLES: I did that to prevent it from being stolen, you idiot! If it's in
         pieces, I can restore it. And by the way, that's not YOUR Emerald.

EGGMAN: *scratching head* Hmm... doesn't matter. I'll look into it once I get
       back to the base. *floats away*

ROUGE: I despise anyone who takes jewels from me. All the world's gems are
      mine to keep!

KNUCKLES: Yeah, well we'll see about that, bat-girl!

      TV, and just happened to catch the news. I was shocked to see Sonic on
      TV. Sonic was arrested for something really terrible, which isn't like
      Sonic. I couldn't believe it was true, so I hopped in my new Tornado,
      and headed straight for Prison Island. And guess who I ran into? Eggman.

      the fake Emerald I made! I wonder if Sonic understands the plan. It's
      up to me to find the power supply, and fast!

SONIC: What's up with that Knucklehead anyway, tryin' to take over the shuttle!
      I thought we were toast for sure! Huh? Where did he go now?

TAILS: Looks like he bailed.

AMY: This place looks deserted, dusty too.

TAILS: This place was shut down about fifty years ago, because of a terrible
      accident. The first Bernoulli spherical space-colony, called "ARK".
      When it was operational, it was the most advanced research center of
      it's kind. But looking at it now...

AMY: Now it's an abandoned ARK, wouldn't you say?

SONIC: There's not much time left before Eggman fires that weapon again.
      We've got to hurry, let's find the cannon and destroy it!

TAILS: Yeah!

* - He starts accessing the computer in the Tornado, making a diagram of the
   ARK come up, which shows its structure and strength in certain areas.

TAILS: Someone designed that weapon to be impenetrable from outside attacks.
      Its defense shields are super-strong, so we have to find a way to
      destroy it from the inside.

* - He takes out a fake Chaos Emerald.

AMY: Isn't that a Chaos Emerald?

TAILS: It looks like it, doesn't it? But in fact it's a fake one I created
      after researching the real Emerald. It has the same wavelength and
      properties, but is less powerful than the real one. It's designed to
      reverse the energy field inside the Chaos Emeralds, and blow up. It
      looks so real, even a machine can't tell the difference. I'll find the
      power supply and destroy it. Sonic, you find the control room, okay?

SONIC: So the plan is, we switch the Chaos Emeralds when the machine has
      stopped, right?

* - He and Tails walk away.

AMY: I hate you! You guys always leave me behind, and have all the fun! *"fun"
    echoes a few times*

   then Rouge backs up.

ROUGE: Keep your hands to yourself; don't touch me!

KNUCKLES: Is that how you say 'thanks' to someone who just saved your life?!

ROUGE: Saving my life? Don't think I owe you one; you just wanted to hold my

KNUCKLES: This isn't a joke, you know. Think what you want bat-girl, I was

ROUGE: *sigh* No matter what you say, it sounds crazy.

KNUCKLES: Wha...?

ROUGE: Fine, then just take them. They stink like Echidnas do.

KNUCKLES: If that's what you thought, you should've given me them in the first

EGGMAN: Put the Emerald down right there and back off.

EGGMAN: You thought you could trick me with that fake Emerald, didn't you?

TAILS: So... how did you know it wasn't the real one?

SONIC: Tails!!

EGGMAN: Heh, because you just told me, Fox-boy.

EGGMAN: Now, for a little space-ride! Once the capsule clears the colony - BAM!

SONIC: I'm counting on ya Tails. And Amy... take care of yourself.

EGGMAN: Farewell, Sonic the Hedgehog!!

AMY: Sonic!!

TAILS (Sonic's memory): "It has the same wavelength, and properties, but is

EGGMAN: Now we have some unfinished business to take care of. If you give me

REPORTER (English): We interrupt this broadcast for an important newsflash.
                   There has been a break-in at the federal-reserve bank
                   today. Mysteriously, the only thing that was stolen was--

EGGMAN: --The Chaos Emerald?!--

REPORTER (English): --the Chaos Emerald. According to eyewitnesses at the
                   scene, the suspect was identified as the world-renowned
                   hero, Sonic the Hedgehog. The suspect was seen fleeing the
                   scene, destroying the reserve's guard robots in his path.
                   Stay tuned for more details.

EGGMAN: Sounds more like the work of Shadow!

SHADOW: I'm Shadow the Hedgehog, the one and only Ultimate Life Form. I took
       the Chaos Emerald from the national reserve bank, and now the military
       and police are chasing me. I don't care if they know who I am, because
       they'll never catch me. It's just a waste of time. There's no time for
       games, I have to get to get out of here, fast.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#

* - Shadow stands on a high suspension bridge, overlooking the swarming police
   units below.

SHADOW: Hmph, how pathetic.

* - He begins to have a flashback of the ARK fifty years ago.

G.U.N. SOLDIER: Find them before they escape!

* - Shadow and Maria runs through the halls of the ARK, both panting heavily
   from exhaustion and panic. In the Research Facility, Maria is about to die,
   and leans onto a computer terminal for support in standing.

SHADOW: MARIA!!

* - A capsule closes down over Shadow.

SHADOW: What?!

MARIA: Shadow... I beg of you... please,--

SHADOW: --Maria...!--

MARIA: --do it for me... for all the people... on that planet... Sayonara,
      Shadow the Hedgehog.

Shadow: Maria... I still remember what I promised you... For all the people of
       this planet... I promise you... REVENGE!

SONIC: *pants, looks up* What?!

   All Away" starts playing.

SHADOW: It all starts with this... a jewel containing the ultimate power.

SONIC: That's the... Chaos Emerald!! ...Now I know what's going on!

* - Shadow's gaze shifts away from the Emerald, and he notices Sonic walking
   towards him.

SONIC: The military has mistaken me for the likes of you! So, where do you
      think you're going with that Emerald?

* - Shadow doesn't respond; Sonic starts running faster.

SONIC: Say something! You fake hedgehog!

* - Shadow tosses the Emerald into the air.

SHADOW: Chaos Control!!

* - Catching the Emerald, a green light envelopes Shadow; he's pulled across
   the area at an incredible speed, flying directly past Sonic, who's running
   at a speed equal to Shadow's flight. Shadow lands on a roof as Sonic skids
   to a stop and turns around.

SONIC: Wow, he's fast! Hey, it's not his speed; he must be using the Chaos
      Emerald to warp!

SHADOW: My name is Shadow. I'm the world's Ultimate Life Form. There's no
       time for games; farewell!!

* - He triggers Chaos Control; Sonic shields his eyes from the light.

SONIC: Kuu! ...Shadow... what is he?

EGGMAN: I'm Doctor Eggman, the greatest scientific genius of the world! I went
       to the Space Colony ARK, as Shadow told me to do. What's in the central
       control room of the Space Colony ARK...? I'll have to find out.


#$#$#$#$#$#$#

EGGMAN: So this is the space colony ARK. I have got to locate the central

#$#$#$#$#$#

#$#$#$#$#$#

* - Eggman walks into the control room for the Eclipse Cannon.

SHADOW: I've been waiting for you Doctor. Now, I will show the glorious
       achievement of what the world's leading scientist - Professor
       Gerald - has created.

* - The device behind Shadow boots up.

SHADOW: The ARK was the first space colony created by mankind. Not many people
       know that the ARK contained a top-secret research facility, where
       weapons of mass destruction were being created. This is one of them; a
       weapon capable of destroying an entire planet. Codenamed: "The Eclipse
       Cannon".

EGGMAN: Destroying an entire planet...? Was this my grandfather's legacy?

SHADOW: But, it's been deactivated for some time now...

* - He tosses the Chaos Emerald he's holding onto the panel behind him, and as
   it rests in its indent, its energy pulses through the mechanism.

SHADOW: To reactivate it... large amounts of energy are necessary.

EGGMAN: Oh, so that's why we needed the Chaos Emerald.

SHADOW: Exactly. To reactivate the machine, we need the seven Chaos Emeralds.
       Once you have that, then you have the ultimate power of destruction,
       to use as you please. And then... the world could be yours.

EGGMAN: Hahahahahaha!! Sounds like a plan! I like the way you think, Shadow!
       I will get the Chaos Emeralds, use the machine to dominate the world
       and build a legacy of my own!

ROUGE: Do you really think it will be that easy?

* - Eggman and Shadow look up to see Rouge hanging from the ceiling. She drops
   and glides down.

ROUGE: I've got a great idea! How about making a deal?

EGGMAN: A... deal?

ROUGE: When you grabbed that huge Emerald, you said something about a
      reaction; a reaction that it may have with the Master Emerald. Now, if
      you could just let me borrow that radar, I may be able to help you.
      What do you think?

EGGMAN: If I do... what's in it for me?

ROUGE: I have an idea where the other Chaos Emeralds may be. I may not look
      like it, but do you know that I am a treasure hunter that specializes
      in all kinds of jewels?

* - She pulls out a Chaos Emerald. Eggman pauses, not quite knowing what to
   do, then he looks at Shadow. Shadow nods in agreement with Rouge's terms,
   and Eggman turns back to her.

EGGMAN: Very well.

ROUGE: Okay then, it's a deal. I don't think we've been introduced. I'm Rouge
      the Bat. But, you can call me Rouge.

       here on the island? Are you absolutely sure?!

ROUGE: Well, believe what you wanna believe.

EGGMAN: Hmm, very well. Very well. Let's discuss how we are going to do this.
       I will go in first and distract the military troupes, allowing you to
       sneak in the base without being detected. Then, Shadow will... enter
       the armory, where he will set the timer on these dynamite packs. Once
       that is in place, we will blow up the whole island before anyone has a
       chance to know what hit them! [to Rouge] Meanwhile, you will sneak into
       the cargo area and grab the Chaos Emeralds. That's a challenge for such
       a worthy treasure hunter as yourself, isn't it bat-girl?

EGGMAN: We only have thirteen minutes to pull this mission off, and we only
       get one try; so don't fail me!
