Shadow the Hedgehog 2 is an Action/Adventure game, which is set to release in 2015 exclusevly for the Playstation 3. The game takes place after Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 4, where Shadow parts ways with Sonic the Hedgehog and friends. Not long after departing, Shadow notices something twitching in the trees, and goes to take a closer look...

Introduction

After the heartfelt goodbye, Shadow departs from Team Sonic, but not more then 5 minutes after, he spots a dark figure in the trees. The player then moves Shadow towards the trees, where a giant black mist eurupts, streaking the trees, and throwing Shadow to the Ground. The figure seems to let out the deepest laugh Shadow has heard, and depats back into the forest. The player then controls Shadow as he chases the figure through the forest, hopping over crashing logs, lilypadded lakes, and an underground sewage system. After reaching the figure, Shadow reaches out with his hand to grab it, but the figure throws him into a tree, injuring him severely. 

The player controls Shadow again, trying to get to the black figure, but fails as Shadow staggers to the ground. The black figure is heard laughing as the trees begin to get ripped out of the ground. Shadow regains his strength, and realizes every single tree in the forest is orbiting around the black figure. The trees then go up in a blazing heat as a wave eurupts throughout the island, burning the grass and injuring Team Sonic. Having had enough, Shadow leaps from the ground to destroy the figure, but the figure finally reveals a face, and looks at Shadow. Shadow looks at the figure's face, and freezes in shock. The figure was Doom, Shadow's father.

Shadow falls to the ground in shock as he tries to figure out what's happening. The ground then begins to shift as Shadow tries to run. In the process, Shadow falls, and looks back to see the ground turning into nothing. The ground ws turning into white space. Doom laughs as Sonic, Tails, Amy, Knuckles, Rouge, E-123 Omega, Blaze, Cream, Cheese, Big, Vector, Espio, Charmy, Mighty, Ray, Jet, Wave, Storm, Fang, Bean and Bark are sucked into the space, falling endlessly. Silver grabs a hold of Shadow, but fails as he is sucked in too. The player controls Shadow in an attempt to free himself, but cannot as he is sucked into white space. Shadow screams as he falls into nothing, white every around him.

Shadow then hears voices, and opens his eyes, seeing the white and blue cloudy sky. Shadow then struggles to breath as the sunshine burned his eyes in the awakening. "Are you okay Sir?" a young man asks. "Fine." Shadow responds, but when he looked at the man, he realized he wasn't where he thought he was. Shadow jumps up quickly as he staggers backwards, looking all around him. He was in a village...but it wasn't a present village. It was a past village. Shadow then looked beind him to see DOZENS of ships loading onto the docks, leading people away from the docks. Shadow then realizews he had just gotten sucked into the past.

Putting the emeralds in, the door opens, allowing Shadow and Rouge into the temple...to find The Chaos Crystal.	Shadow	VI	Dark

Shadow and Rouge must hop floor-to-floor in order to avoid being electrocuted. Reaching the end of the traps, Shadow encounters Doom once more, and races him across many, MANY electrocution traps. The Chaos Crystal lies just ahead, and just as Shadow is about to reach it, a platform below them gives in, letting Shadow and Doom fall through...	Shadow	VI	Dark
The Chaos Crystal: Part 3	After falling in what seemed like an endless pit of darkness, Shadow uses the Purple emerald to float just before he and Rouge hit the ground. They then lower themselves, and find that they are in a dark and scary part of the temple. Using the yellow Emerald for light, Shadow and Rouge fight over 50 dead skeletons before encountering Doom again. Shadow does something too risky, and tosses the Yellow Emerald into Doom, lighting the path to where he is. Following Doom's light, they reach the area under the Crystal. Shadow begins to climb as Doom races for it.	Shadow	VI	Dark
The Chaos Crystal: Part 4	Shadow climbs the rock wall, while Doom does the same. Doom's energy is running out, and the Chaos Crystal lies just ahead. After endless climbing, Shadow nearly grabs the crystal, but it suddenly floats away. Shadow and Doom race through the temple in order to catch it, and rush through The other parts of the levels. Making their way through Fire, Ice, Electricity, and Spikes, The Chaos Crystal finally stops as the entrance to the temple. Shadow and Doom dive for the Crystal as the screen feeezes on both they're hands an inch from it. The scene then cuts to an outer shot, and shows a VERY bright green light emerging from the temple. Many villagers outside believe someone has finally gotten The Chaos Crystal! But who...	Shadow	VI	Dark

Final Story

After Shadow and Doom reach the Chaos Crystal, someone has aquired it, but who? The screen pans to reveal that Doom himself hs gotten The Chaos Crystal. Shadow can only lay there in shock as Doom makes a wish...to have a large base in space! Doom is teleported to space as Shadow is left helpless at the entrance of the temple.

Team Sonic, and Rouge come to Shadow's aid when they witness Doom getting the Crystal. Rouge attempts to talk Shadow into finishing Doom's plan, but Shadow says that The Chaos Crystal grants anything anyone could want. He could easily kill us in one single sentence. Sonic then comes up with an idea. They need to provide a distraction so that they could steal back the Crystal, and save the world! Shadow still has doubts, and Rouge finally kisses him, snapping Shadow back to reality. "Let's beat the crap out of that man!" Shadow yells as he uses The Chaos Emeralds to create a white board. Winking at the team, he zooms off into the sky ready to beat Doom.

After controling Shadow into space, he arrives at the giant spaceship, and silently infiltrates it. Taking out over 300 robots on the ship, Shadow takes a peek inside the main cell, which Doom and Eggman are opperating together. Doom then wishes for "Team Sonic to become trapped right in front of me!". Doom gets his wish, and Shadow witnesses Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles appearing in the room, and being tied down. Shadow then breaches the room, and dives for the Chaos Crystal. However, Doom smacks Shadow upside the head with it, knocking him out cold. Doom laughs, and takes Shadow's gun. Doom then says "Goodbye Shadow" as he holds the gun up to the black hedgehogs head. Suddenly, Rouge comes into view, and tackles Doom, forcing him to drop the gun right when it is shot. After a bit of brawling, Rouge aquires The Chaos Crystal. Eggman; having had enough, activates the powerful weapon Doom has been wanting to get all along. The Earth Incinerator. Rouge wishes for the machine to power down, but fails. Eggman reveals that the Weapon is in fact powered by the Master Emerald, so the Crystal does not work on it! Doom then snatches the Crystal Back, and traps Rouge with Team Sonic.

Shadow finally comes to his senses, and secretly frees Team Sonic and Rouge. After undoing the last knot, Sonic and Knuckles take down Eggman as Tails and Rouge go for Doom and the Crystal. The player controls Shadow once more, and he is forced to go outside, and stop the weapon from destroying earth, and all of the future mankind. After once again racing through the ship, Shadow uses the Chaos Emeralds to breathe in space as he goes to destroy the Incinerator. Reaching it, Shadow sees that it's timer is at 6:43, and counting. Shadow attempts to defuse the bomb, but he is halted by the user of the Chaos Crystal, who is revealed to be Eggman. "I'm not leting you get away with this you pesky little runt!" Eggman yells as he throws Shadow off of the ship, sending him endlessly into space. Shadow's breath power is running out, and everything seems lost. Shadow then remembers the Emeralds at the last second. Shadow uses all 7 of them to become Super Shadow.

Super Shadow blasts through space, and reaches the ship. Shadow plunges into it, leaving a hole which threatens to suck out everything in the ship. Sonic leaps outside the ship to defuse the bomb at the timer of 0:30. Shadow fights with Doom, and easily wins, throwing the Chaos Crystal over to himself. The incinerator however, is at 10 seconds. Sonic fears he cannot defuse it, and leaps back inside the ship as Eggman watches in excitement. The Earth Incinerator finally blasts off, leaving the biggest hole in the center. If the incinerator finishes the process, the earth will be destroyed, and the present day will not exist! The earth continues to disolve into nothing as Rouge and Team Sonic try desperatly not to get sucked into space. Suddenly, the entire Ship begins to fall apart! The main room is close to being crushed, and Super Shadow helps the others escape. Super Shadow cannot use the Crystal to Save the world from the weapon, and knows what he must do. Team Sonic and Rouge tell him not to go with it, but if he doesn't, mankind will end. Super Shadow then gives Sonic the Chaos Crystal, and tells him to "Wish you and them back to our time. Not me, only you guys." Super Shadow then leaves the ship, and just as the world is about to disolve, Super Shadow charges inside the incinerator's blast. Super Shadow screams as he touches the core, and he is burned alive. The weapon however, explodes, killing Super Shadow and sending the ship towards the now saved earth.

The scene then cuts to earth, showing the ship had crash landed in Greenrun Meadow. The villagers come out of hiding, and cheer as the sky turns to a very bright and beautiful blue. Meanwhile, in the present day, Sonic holds the Chaos Crystal in his hands, knowing Shadow is gone. "It was for the best." says Sonic as he glances at Tails, Knuckles, and Rouge. They nodd at Sonic, and right at that moment, Sonic smashes The Chaos Crystal. A green shockwave is sent everywhere as Sonic and the others wait for something. "It must have undone it's effects." Tails exclaims. Sonic realizes that when he smashed it, the Chaos Crystal's wishes have been undone. Doom never created a ship, and the world was never close to ending. Though the earth's close end was not doccumented in history, Sonic will forever remember Shadow the Hedgehog as a world hero.
