THIS IS SHADOW, EVERYONE!!!!

He is not to be messed with. And yet even after being attacked with dozens of missiles and effectively getting rid of all of them, he lands on the craft of his attacker, who is frantically trying and failing to eject before he crashes.

Shadow smashes the glass and raises a fist as if to punch him, and the G.U.N. soldier flinches. And instead, Shadow hits the button to eject the soldier.

This is Shadow. He is brutal and he is formidable but he is not cruel.

I love him!!! 🖤❤️

It's wild to actually see the firing squad shoot on Gerald.

Something I learned about this method of execution years ago in high school is that, only one of the firearms has the bullet, the rest is just rubber (or something unharmful of the sorts). The reason is when they all fire at the same time, they won't know which amongst them had the actual ball & won't cause the person who had the real thing trauma.

But y'all probably already knew that, lol.

Something that's easy to forget with him going rogue in the second movie, but Robotnik in the first was sent by the military. His egg drones are still military property. And while it sure could be him controlling them at the Chao restaurant, GUN is infamously not averse to shooting young children either.

thats right yall its time for another shadow-centric sonic au

its also a long one so ill put the lore underneath the cut (my writing isnt the greatest right now bcuz im tired and ive been writing for almost 12 hours straight lmao i can no longer create proper sentences)

debating calling it Sonic 4D Blast because hey reference

Everything is pretty much the same (wow how original, right) but on the ARK, when Black Doom gave Gerald his DNA, Gerald accidentally created a 4th dimensional entity. No one knows how or what to do about it. Gerald just did his stuff with Black Doom's DNA, turned around, and there was Shadow (named by Maria for his lack of a shadow). Shadow was able to successfully cure Maria, and when Gerald's reports indicated so, GUN became suspicious of the almost miraculous turnaround and started investigating.

Once they found out about Project Shadow and what Gerald had somehow done, they regarded Shadow as a top priority threat and began developing experimental technology to counter Gerald's "weapon" in secret.

It took a few years of observation to make sure Maria really was cured, and during that time, she and Shadow became extremely close. Most of the scientists on the ARK either feared him or were cautious around him, though, not quite sure if he could be fully trusted due to all the uncertainty around how he worked.

Eventually, GUN decided to launch a raid on the ARK. Everyone onboard was given sufficient warning that the shuttle was approaching thanks to Shadow, but no one knew why. Once onboard, they immediately began interrogating the scientists and searching for Project Shadow. A soldier shot at Maria in an attempt to get them to cooperate, but Shadow revealed himself and stopped the bullet from hitting her. (im tired pretend theres a conflict escalation here) One thing led to another, and Shadow ended up getting a gold ring forced into his wrist - the experimental technology GUN had been developing the whole time.

It was a set of four golden rings meant to confine Shadow to the 3rd dimension, and while one didn't do it immediately, it slowed him down enough for the soldiers to get the others on him, trapping him in a 3d form and shooting Maria anyway to punish him for acting out.

yap yap yap the rest of the scientists are massacred and Gerald is arrested as per canon event. Shadow is also taken into GUN custody and tortured in a variety of ways, under the guise of scientific research (green line down torso on ref is a scar from vivisection), all while being in indescribable pain from being confined to the 3rd dimension. For 50 years, this is an on and off thing, and he is kept top secret, only known about by some of the highest clearance agents.

Eggman, looking through GUN's databases for anything that could be of use to him, finds one of Gerald's old reports that slipped through the cracks, and begins the search for Project Shadow. The events of SA2 happen, and after Heroes, Shadow is able to break free from the confinement of the Inhibitors, finally freeing himself from the 3rd dimension.

i think theres more id usually add at this point but my brain has literally clocked out so ill just add more like tomorrow or whenever. but basically now shadow just kinda chills like that one homie you see every once in a while

[montydrawsstuff]

Still love the espio forced to work with gun idea. Sandra is back eyyyy. She starts out like hell na but ye they get along later hehe

[albinofetus]

I hope the Sonic 3 movie popcorn bucket is shaped like the gun that killed Maria.

I think Sonic The Hedgehog (2006) should count as the third Sonic Adventure

I know STH 2K6 suffered from technical problems due to a rushed development, but think about how it fits thematically with the two Sonic Adventure games...

The games following the original SA introduce another super Hedgehog that acts as an enemy to Sonic before becoming their ally near the end

Each of the games features a maiden who acts as the center of the plot (With some significant divergence in their involvement, natch)

We have horrific monsters to fight at the end

and those monsters were set into motion by those who craved to control the power for their own use (The image in the middle represents G.U.N as a whole)

And in the endgame, the transformation to Super, which involves successively more Hedgehogs.

So, yeah, Imma say 2006 is the unofficial SA3. And with the 20th anniversary of the 2006 game two years away, Sega has the optimal opportunity to produced an upgraded redo, with all of the bugs ironed out and maybe added stages and cutscenes to make the story a bit more clear. I'm not saying they should change 2006's story (As a guy who grew up on Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I have no issues with the Sonic-Elise subplot), but it could stand some expanding on.

Thoughts?

(Please table any hate at the door. Constructive criticism, I will accept. But not hate.)

Unused pages of Gerald's journal found in the files of Sonic x Shadow Generations. Found & transcripted by K932 on Twitter

(If you don't want to read the whole thing: Gerald wrote that Shadow was created before the Biolizard, strangely enough)

G.U.N. agent: What are your names?

Shadow: Don't tell him, Sonic

Agent, writing: Sonic...

Sonic: Nice going, Shadow

Agent: Sonic and Shadow

Sonic: Fuck

Sonic Convergence AU - File 4: Abraham Towers

The current commander and leader of the Guardian Units of Nations, commonly known as G.U.N., Towers was born and raised in the military, which has lead to him having a stoic personality.

He's a highly influential figure in the World Order, due to G.U.N. being the primary military force in the entire world.

While he may seem ruthless, he deeply cares for those working for him.

He does seem to have a vendetta against Dr. Eggman, for some reason.
