I know what I have to do. I was born to bring order to the humans. These humans... they don't value life... they're going to pay... pay with their lives for what they've done!

Replicas. The problem is, they may not be real, but their powers are as formidable as the originals. According to Rouge, Infinite can create unlimited numbers of them.

Perhaps now you believe me. He was created as a weapon. You were lucky in that you met him before he awakened. But, you cannot deny the Gizoid's true identity!

I've heard enough! You're boring me to death, Black Doom! You're going down!

If you don't believe me, let's go again. This victory will be in honor of our fallen comrade.

I'm Shadow... the Hedgehog. I was created to bring order and justice to the humans. With the power of these Emeralds, I'm going to DESTROY THIS DAMN PLANET! THIS IS WHO I AM!

Hmph! There's no way I'm losing to some android fake. I accept your challenge!

To reactivate the machine, we need the seven Chaos Emeralds. Once you have that, then you have the ultimate power of destruction, to use as you please. And then... the world could be yours.

I'm Shadow the Hedgehog... and now I am the most powerful hedgehog in the world! The power of these Emeralds makes me invincible! I am the ultimate hedgehog... THIS IS WHO I AM!

Certainly, it might have been possible, if he was still alive.

Space... Did you say space?

Hmph. Looks like you'll never understand. The builders will never know how their creations truly feel.

Doctor... Must not repeat... the tragedy...!

I feel a connection to the symbol in the sky. It’s the same tingle as my new abilities...

Hah, some things never change, do they?

Mephiles isn't trying to help you create a better future... He's trying to eliminate the past.

Goodbye forever... Shadow the Hedgehog.

I gotta go now. I have to keep my promise to Maria - and you.

Perhaps you could be useful in assisting me to thwart the Doctor's plan after all, Sonic.

Team Dark! Let's slag these robots!
