History[]

Hunting Eggman[]

Following Dr. Eggman's disappearance, Shadow was determined to hunt down Eggman and prevent him causing a counter-attack at any cost and was aided in his search by Rouge. Rouge quickly found the doctor's location, but anonymously passed that information to the Chaotix of the Chaotix Detective Agency in order for them to verify it was Eggman and to bring in Sonic the Hedgehog to help bring Shadow to reason. An inevitable confrontation occurred between the two hedgehogs, but Sonic eventually got through to Shadow, using the Ultimate Lifeform's own reform to defend Eggman's apparent change of heart following his memory loss.

Battling Neo Metal Sonic[]

Shadow and Rouge were later called in to aid the Resistance at a meeting in Resistance HQ. There, the Resistance leaders revealed that Neo Metal Sonic had taken over Angel Island and turned it into a flying fortress. To make matters worse, Neo had also secured the Master Emerald for himself on the island. With their goal being to liberate Angel Island, Amy Rose came up with a strategy after some internal discussions: team three (Sonic and Knuckles the Echidna) would confront Neo and secure the Master Emerald while team one (Blaze the Cat) and team two (Shadow, Rouge and everyone else) focused on breaking the Egg Fleet's control over the island. On the way to Angel Island however, the heroes' Battleship came under fire from the Egg Fleet. Fortunately, everyone got off the ship before it crashed. While team two began their mission, Blaze became Burning Blaze and began her attack on the Egg Fleet. Meanwhile, team three confronted Neo Metal Sonic inside his fortress on the island. Unsatisfied with his part in the plan, Shadow split off from team two, leaving Rouge to make up for his absence and start taking direct orders from Amy and handle the guns of the ship they were attacking. Whilst Rouge aided in the take-over of one of Eggman's ships and saved the life of Amy Rose, Shadow eventually met up with team three much to their chagrin and went into a direct confrontation with Super Neo Metal Sonic, knocking him out of his super form and seemingly besting him. This proved to be in error, though, as Neo copied Shadow's bio-data and used it to complete his transformation into the Master Overlord. (StH: #9, #10)
