| − | [[Shadow the Hedgehog (Archie)|Shadow]] had been transported by the [[Bem]] before he fell to [[Mobius]]. An approaching ship from the [[Xorda]] aliens came, and the Bem provided Shadow enough energy to keep being [[Super Shadow]] to battle the threat while they escaped. Shadow was no match and fell to Mobius a second time. Meanwhile Dr Robotnik attempts to kill the president of [[Station Square]], but is rescued by [[Rouge the Bat]]. In [[Knothole]], [[Sally Acorn|Sally]] tells the King and Queen that she wants [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie)|Sonic]] to be her consort who would someday have her hand in marriage. Shadow plummets to Knothole, were havoc around the world is happening, even in [[Robotropolis]]. The Xorda spaceship is shown all around Mobius, on [[Angel Island (Archie)|Angel Island]], [[Downunda]] continent, kingdom of [[Mercia]] and the [[Great Canyon]] range. The Xorda broadcast that they want revenge for what the [[Overlanders]] did to them. The Xorda claimed that they were responsible for almost destroying all of the Overlanders and for creating [[Mobians]]. Sonic and the [[Freedom Fighters]] get the news that [[Knuckles the Echidna (Archie)|Knuckles]] is dead. [[Hope]] appears and claims that their ship was attacked by the aliens and they followed them here. Hope reminds Shadow of his long last [[Maria]]. Sally and [[NICOLE]] work together to find out about Earth and Mobius and discovers that it is the same planet. |

He remembers her being shot and locked in stasis until [[Doctor Eggman (Pre-Super Genesis Wave)|Dr. Eggman]] freed him. Sonic managed to make Shadow see the light, as he made the ultimate sacrifice to save Mobius. Instead of being killed, he was saved and transported by alien scientist known as the [[Bem]] whose ship was in orbit. They restored him to health, to which Shadow doesn't know why. They detected the approaching vessel and awakened Shadow, to which they gave him enough energy to attain Super Shadow form. They sent him to attack the vessel as the escaped, and Super Shadow, with the power of Chaos Control, believed he could breach the defenses. He is shot with a powerful blast by the ship and begins to fall (again) to Mobius. |
