Her report soon attracted numerous people to the stadium, including the stadium's owner, Elmer Johnson. Sonic's team won, and Elmer was impressed enough to move the stadium turf to the new stadium and keep its groundskeeper to tend to it as well.[4] Much later, Scarlet would do some reporting on the news about the theft at the National Museum of Art, which was the most significant of the recent mysterious jewel thefts all across Station Square.[5] After that, Scarlet announced the President's message to the nation about GUN's attack on Dr. Eggman's headquarters.[6][7]

Scarlet doing a news report.

Approximately six months later, Scarlet made a news report at the site of the battle between Super Sonic and the E-99 Eggsterminator, explaining that everything at the site was now calm and peaceful, in spite of the events that had transpired there since it was clear whatever debris left behind by the Eggsterminator's destruction at Super Sonic's hands had long since been removed by G.U.N. to render the area as if the fight never happened and return it to normal.[9] A while afterward, using a helicopter, Scarlet did a news coverage on the calm that followed Dr. Eggman's latest defeat while elaborating on how both the Mystic Ruins and the newly-fallen Angel Island were off-limits to the public due to current events.[10] She also brought up Tails' heroic efforts in disarming a missile that Eggman sent out that would have destroyed Station Square.[11]

When Perfect Chaos launched its flooding of Station Square, Scarlet reported on the news about the chaos creature's attack from a news helicopter, making sure to stay a safe distance away from the beast to avoid being attacked by it.

Shadow Saga[]

Ep33 Scarlet meets Stewart

Scarlet meets "Franklin".

After Perfect Chaos' attack on Station Square, Scarlet came to NNT, an news station in the capital, where the employees praised her report on Perfect Chaos. She was soon after introduced to the NNT news director, Mr. Stewart (going by the name Franklin), who needed Scarlet's help for an investigation of a secret government project called "Project Shadow" that took place fifty years ago. Because her father had died while investigating Project Shadow, Scarlet was reluctant to participate in this investigation. However, she was convinced after Stewart promised to protect her all the way through their investigation into the project.[2]

Starting their investigation, Scarlet and Stewart went to Prison Island. There, Scarlet noticed that Stewart was not what he seemed after his papers granted them access to the restricted military facility. As they interviewed the director, they learned he did not know much about Project Shadow. However, he did show them some footage of what seemed like Sonic working together with Eggman to uncover the secrets of Project Shadow, which was why GUN was currently trying to arrest Sonic.[13] Stewart and Scarlet would afterward look for a GUN soldier named Mr. Schmitz who was involved in Project Shadow.[14] However, he proved difficult to track down since he kept changing his name and residence.[15] They eventually tracked him to the Bucket Hotel, where residential Jerome Wise showed them Schmitz's room. Stewart could tell that Schmitz had been there recently, so he and Scarlet decided to wait. When he did not show up however, Scarlet and Stewart decided to take their leave. As they left the hotel however, they got the feeling that someone was following them.[14]

Scarlet and Stewart eventually tracked Schmitz down to a nursing home. However, Schmitz refused to tell them anything in spite of Scarlet's desperate pleas. Eventually, Stewart stopped Scarlet and had her withdraw with him. On their way to their car however, they were attacked by Black-Suited Agents. While Stewart held the agents off, Scarlet followed his orders and tried to make a run for it, only to be caught by one of the agents at the car. Fortunately, Scarlet was saved when Schmitz disabled the agent holding her. As more agents showed up however, the trio decided to hide in a garden. There, Schmitz decided to tell them about Project Shadow, revealing it meant to discover the secret to eternal life, but the government grew uncomfortable with it and sent GUN to shut it down, with Schmitz being one of the soldiers that invaded the ARK where the project was being carried out.[16] In the process, Schmitz inadvertently shot a young girl that was helping the ultimate creature escape.[17] Eventually though, the ultimate creature and its prototype were sealed away and the soldiers were sworn to secrecy while the invasion was written off to the public as an accident. After the story was done, Scarlet consoled him and thanked him for his help, with the intention of revealing the truth to the public.[16] Not long after, Scarlet revealed the truth about Project Shadow to the world while doing a live news reportage on Super Sonic and Super Shadow's battle with the Final Lizard.[18]

Scarlet helping the Chaos Emerald Martial Art Mash-Ups infomercial.

Before the President arrived however, Scarlet took a look at Sonic, Knuckles and Rouge, only to discovered that they all were disinterested in this meeting. The President then arrived and ordered Scarlet's newscast to cease. Because Sonic and his friends lacked a good reason to cooperate, the President laid out a fighting tournament with a Chaos Emerald as a prize to lure out Eggman. When Knuckles still refused to cooperate, Scarlet, the President and Topaz tricked him into agreeing. Helping spread the word, Scarlet did news interviews and infomercials on the tournament.[22]

On the day of the tournament, Scarlet did news reports on the individual fights.[22] She was soon after joined by Tails. In the finals, Scarlet recognized Mr. Stewart as the news director she helped during their investigation of Project Shadow when she tried to interview him.

However, it was soon revealed that Sonic and his friends soon had to return to their world, or time would come to a stop.[25]

Scarlet and her crew were later in the city when they noticed hundreds of GUN robots fly over their heads on the orders of a rogue GUN commander. Scarlet promptly went to the White House with her crew to interview the President, only to find her way blocked by rogue government agents. Fortunately, the crisis at the White House was soon resolved, and the rogue government officials were arrested.
