History[]
Season one[]
Shadow finds the green Chaos Emerald, from "The Yoke's on You".
Sometime long after the events of Sonic Advance 3,[1] before the shattering of the Paradox Prism, Shadow would be rushing through Green Hill, smashing through several rocks with a Spin Attack as he would be searching for a Chaos Emerald. After obtaining the green Chaos Emerald, Shadow would proceed to utilize Chaos Control, teleporting around before being interrupted with a shockwave caused by Sonic's battle with Dr. Eggman, making him have a brief glimpse into the future. Recognizing the shockwave as Sonic's attack, he would then proceed to head off.
Shadow arguing with Sonic, from "The Yoke's on You".
Shadow would then proceed to intercept Sonic later on as Sonic would be rushing around, and soon punching him in the face.[2] Shadow would then interrogate Sonic as to what was going on, but Sonic would play off Shadow's annoyance as simple jealousy for Sonic's strength. The two would then get into a battle, Shadow catching up to Sonic while the latter was running, wanting to end the fight early to get to a mission, with Sonic refusing to explain the mission to Shadow. The fight would continue up until Sonic would be distracted, Shadow then landing a punch on Sonic's face. Sonic would return the favor, however, distracting Shadow by pointing to a location claiming Eggman was there and using his Spin Attack to send Shadow into a wall of rocks as Sonic would escape.[3] Shadow would soon erupt from the wall, giving chase after Sonic, and upon arrival at the battle, he would witness the shattering of the Paradox Prism, but would utilize Chaos Control to teleport out of the way of the blast, him then reappearing in the Void between the Shatterspaces.[4]
Shadow would be soon heard by Sonic as the latter would be running around in the hamster ball used by the Chaos Council. Sonic would initially wave off this interaction as him hallucinating however.
Shadow would then tell Sonic that he was lost in the Void whilst he saw the latter picking up speed in the Boscage Maze, telling him that he had to keep moving, only for Sonic to exit, and Shadow tried to get to him, with no avail.
It is unknown as to where he was when Sonic and Nine left New Yoke City and headed to The Grim in Nine's Shattercraft, and where he was when Sonic was travelling through the Void to get back to New Yoke City.
Shadow would be heard from once again as Sonic would be speeding up while fighting in New Yoke City, saying that he needed to keep running as Sonic would soon run fast enough to break into the Void between the Shatterspaces.[5]
Shadow would be seen once again as after Sonic would be sent back into the Void between the Shatterspaces from No Place, he would intercept Sonic with one of the crystals inside the area. After hearing Sonic's voicing of wanting to head home, Shadow would angrily tell him that there is no more home to go to as he would rush at Sonic once again, ready to fight him.[6]
Season two[]
Shadow comes up with a plan to save their world, from "Avoid the Void".
Shadow attacks Sonic in the Void, furious about the world-shattering event that his rival caused. Sonic is surprised to learn that he is in fact the original and real Shadow, and not another version of him. Shadow explains to Sonic what happened to him since the Prism shattered. He explains he is unable to enter the other Shatterspaces, but can see Sonic when he goes fast. He also tells him he lost his Chaos Emerald in the dark abyss at the bottom of the Void. Shadow takes Sonic to the only Gateway he can enter. Both hedgehogs go into a distorted version of Green Hill. Sonic finds ghost versions of his friends, but Shadow warns him that they are just part of this Shatterspace. He takes Sonic to the top of the Temple Mountain, where the incident happened. The yellow Shard is still in its place. Shadow believes they can fix everything if they bring the other Shards there.[7]
Shadow steals Sonic's tech, from "Avoid the Void".
Not wanting to deal with Sonic, Shadow attacks him declaring he is about to steal his tech to go on the mission alone. Sonic of course refuses, and the two hedgehogs engage in battle. Shadow seems to have the upper hand, as he quickly steals all of Sonic's tech. He uses his speed to get into the Void. He is attacked by Sonic, and the two continue fighting for a while. Then they witness the Chaos Council entering the Void, and heading to the Boscage Maze. Shadow tries to follow them, but despite having the tech, its not enough to let him in. The Gateway throws him away at full speed, and he lands unconscious onto a crystal. He is about to fall into the dark part of the Void, but Sonic rescues him. Shadow is impressed that Sonic is the only one who can enter the Gateways, so he is forced to make a deal and work together with him.[7]
Shadow fighting Dr. Deep, from "Ghost of a Chance".
While Sonic travels across Shatterspaces, Shadow is always present in the Void. He often messed with the Chaos Council's Mothership, and gives them some trouble. Sometime later, Shadow meets up with Sonic and Nine in the Void, and the three head to Ghost Hill. Shadow and Sonic leave Nine alone while he works to put the Paradox Prism together. Shadow still doesn't trust him, but Sonic has pure faith in his new fox friend. When the Council arrives, Shadow and Sonic go into action. Shadow defeats some Eggforcers, and then battles Doctor Deep and Doctor Babble. Things get a little more complicated when Mister Doctor Eggman creates a Prismatic Titan out of most of the the remaining Shard Energy the Council had left. Shadow tries to attack the gigantic Eggman, but fails. He tells Sonic to go to the Temple Mountain and protect the Shards. After Nine steals them for himself and leaves for The Grim, Shadow is seen angry at Sonic once again.
Season three[]
Shadow and Sonic fight together, from "Grim Tidings".
Shadow notices Ghost Hill is starting to collapse and tells Sonic they need to get out of there as soon as possible. The hedgehogs run through it trying to find a way out. When Sonic sees his ghostly friends again, Shadow reminds him that they can't be saved at the moment, and that they need to keep running. Eventually, they are able to get out of Ghost Hill and make it to the Void by exiting through a tear in the Gateway. Shadow is still furious at Nine and wants to get back at him. Sonic suggests that they should go to The Grim. Shadow is finally able to enter a Shatterspace thanks to one of the tears on The Grim's gateway. Shadow is decided to fight Nine, but Sonic tries to reason with him one more time. When that doesn't work, the hedgehogs take on the metal counterparts of Sonic and his friends. Shadow is shown to be very good at combat, fighting all of the robots at some point. When he realizes Nine is after Sonic's Prism Energy to complete the Paradox Prism, he creates a tornado to throw Sonic back to the Void. All the Grim robots attack Shadow at the same time, and Alpha Grim Sonic is able to punch Shadow due to his exhaustion and was able to make him fall through an chasm that was caused by Nine to make sure that Sonic didn't escape.
Shadow helps the rebels, from "The Devil Is in the Tails".
Shadow was trapped in the crack on the floor for some time, while being guarded by Grim Troopers. Sometime later, Sonic falls into the same chasm when Nine reopened it. When he is about to be attacked by a robot, Shadow comes into action to save him. Once he gets out of the crack, Shadow finds himself involved in the fight. He suggests to Sonic that the Alpha Grim Robots should be their main goal. And while he wants revenge on Nine, Sonic convinces him to follow his plan. Shadow proves to be of great assistance to the rebels, fighting several robots. He gets on an intense fight with Alpha Grim Sonic and is able to defeat him on his own. On top of Nine's tower, Shadow (along with Knucks) are having a hard time after the fox uses the Prism Energy against them. Sonic goes after Nine once he realizes that he won't stop.
Shadow saves Sonic, from "From the Top".
Shadow, all the other Shatter Variants of Sonic's friends and the Chaos Council break into Nine's lab. Shadow agrees to Sonic's idea of draining his Prism Energy in hopes to fully restore the Paradox Prism. When the Chaos Council starts fighting, Shadow is excited to take them out. When Nine restores all the other Shatterspaces using the complete Paradox Prism (including Ghost Hill, which transformed into Green Hill), Shadow gets on the Kraken as Black Rose and Rusty Rose give him a ride. As Sonic's condition gets worse, Shadow decides to take him the rest of the way to the Gateway. He races across the Void, and is able to save Sonic. The events restart from a point before the Paradox Prism incident. While Sonic and friends defeat Eggman in the cave, Shadow arrives with the Chaos Emerald he once lost. He uses Chaos Control and steals the Paradox Prism from Eggman, who was distracted by Sonic and his friends, moving it to a hidden and unknown location.[8]
