OUTSIDE WESTOPOLIS:
A newspaper blows around in the wind and gets caught up against Shadow's leg
Newspaper: 50 year return of the Black Comet
Shadow: (Thinking) Shadow the Hedgehog. Why does that name haunt me? It's the only thing I can remember. And that gruesome image.
FLASHBACK - ARK
(Maria, as seen from Shadow's POV, is running with Shadow down a corridor of the ARK when they hit a dead end, turning around shows SEVERAL G.U.N. soldiers. Gunshot fire is heard as the screen fades to white)
Shadow: MARIA!
FLASHBACK ENDS
Shadow: Who am I...and who is this Maria?
(Suddenly the sky turns black and red with a vortex appearing, spilling out SEVERAL aliens that instantly cause havoc in the city)
Shadow: (Starting to turn around) Look how pathetic they are, I don't have time for these humans.
Black Doom: Shadow...
The Eye floats to in front of shadow and starts to show a holographic image of Black Doom
Black Doom: As you can see, the day of reckoning will soon be here. Bring me the seven Chaos Emeralds as promised.
Shadow: Who are you?! And how do you my name! And just what are you talking about?!
The eye, hologram fading, turns away as several explosions happen (interestingly enough) in front of Shadow.
Shadow: Just what was that all about? And just who was that guy? Well, if he says he knows the truth about who I am then, like it or not, I have to believe him. The only way I'm going to know who I am is by getting those Chaos Emeralds.
Shadow darts off down towards the city
