From the beginning of the Earth, and at every individual age of civilized beings, there has been a protector of the Earth who, from birth, was granted the power to protect it and its inhabitants from harm. There usually will only be one, as only one is needed; however, certain circumstances allow for more than one to exist at once, such in the case of Shadow, and Chaos. This character would be born not only with great power, but with a .heroic and noble character. Sonic would be one of those great and noble protectors who inherited this noble character to stop evil from overtaking and destroying the Earth. This would explain why Sonic is always to eager to help those in need and save the day from Doctor Eggman. The Chaos Emeralds, which could be have had the original name of Emeralds of the protector, as well as the master emerald which governs the other seven, could be have been created for use of the protector, as there may be times his powers aren't good enough, and he needs more strength to protect the Earth and save the day. Simple concept, but it would add depth to the Sonic Universe.
Shadow would have originally been the protector of the Earth, as he inherited it's power at birth, but his hedgehog village is attacked by a savage neighboring village who kills everyone, except the village priestess and her husband (Possibly Shadow's parents are the ancestors to Sonic, and are about to kill Shadow when, due to the extreme emotional distress he's undergoing from seeing his so many of his people die and as well as being in danger of dying, his guardian powers that were yet to be unleashed were then released and he not only destroys the all of the attackers, but the whole surrounding area. After rampaging, Shadow collapses and passes out exhausted. The havoc he caused permanently altered the landscape creating the Pumpkin hill type area.
Shadow startled, confused, awakes in the Space Colony ARK. Professor Gerald was on a "research trip" to find another specimen for his ultimate life project for the government, project Shadow but is truly seeking for plants and animals to cure the disease his granddaughter Maria had, found Shadow and nursed him back to health. Shadow, who was near death, recovers almost over night with an accelerated healing ability granted to him by being the guardian of the Earth. This gives Gerald the idea to use Shadow to make a cure for Maria. Gerald moved him to the ark with power inhibitor rings placed on his wrists to restrain his destructive power. He also invents a teleporter that connects from the A.R.K. to his secret pyramid base, he keeps from the government, in case he needs to quickly escape the A.R.K.
Gerald's granddaughter Maria, who is his favorite because she has always taken an interest in her grandfathers' work and thus, earned her grandfather's trust, was raised on the ark and is a patient there after being Diagnosed with NIDS (Neuro Immune Defiency Syndrome) at a young age. She does not remember what it's like to be on the Earth as implied in SA2. Dr. Robotnik hasn't told Maria about Shadow's rampage nor how potentially dangerous he can be because he secretly hopes her natural warmth and affection can help Shadow to control his powers. Upon seeing him, she gives Shadow his name due to his black furred appearance and inability to remember anything from his past. Maria spend a lot of time together and become very close. As Shadow has not had any problems controlling himself, Gerald plan seems to be working.
Before he found Shadow, Gerald was working with his fellow scientist, Professor Freud Sigmund, head of Project Biolizard, on creating the Ultimate life form. When Gerald found Shadow, he presented him to G.U.N and showed them pictures of the destruction Shadow had caused as well as before and after photos of Shadowing recovering. To prove Shadow is capable even further, he says, " Still not convinced? Let me give you a little demonstration." He then proceeds to remove Shadow's cufflink inhibitors and Shadow, then concentrates and moves his arms outward. As he does this the whole building begins to shake, and the G.U.N commander tells Gerald to stop him. After Shadow stops, G.U.N. appoints Gerald as head of "Project Shadow" and removes funding from Project Biolizard.
When GUN invades the ARK Maria manages to enter the capsule alongside Shadow. Maria, being an idealistic, tells Shadow how much the Earth and the people on it mean to her, asking him to promise to protect it which of course he does. As Maria and Shadow are hurling towards the earth in the capsule it begins to overheat and malfunction, in this desperation Shadow's powers kick in and he uses a chaos control to teleport them out of the capsule. They are teleported outside of prison Island where they are quickly apprehended by GUN. Shadow is encapsulated, and Maria, while no under arrest, stays at Prison Island to wait for her Grandfather. When he arrives she's allowed one visit with Gerald before he's imprisoned. They get to talk and Gerald secretly hands her the disk journal he made with the true record of what occurred, a video recording for Shadow, and one for her as well. He forbids her to present this to GUN because he doesn't want Sigmund to target her or alter it before his trial. After Maria describes the events to Gerald, and after seeing she no longer moves with crippled impairment, Gerald deduces that when "the bright flash of light (chaos control)" occured Shadow's cellular regeneration must have spread to her and cured her which it in reality did. By knowing this Gerald is overjoyed and no longer cares what happens to him as Maria's life is saved. The soldiers make her leave and she then goes on to live a long healthy life harboring the secrets of the day. She is still alive when Shadow emerges 50 years later, and meets him again eventually.
After Gerald is taken arrested by GUN Sigmund sneaks onto the ARK to frame Gerald when an investigation is done on the ARK. He programs it to crash in the earth, makes a false recording death threat of revenge by Gerald, altering parts of Gerald's journal, programming the ARK canon to destroy the Earth and look like Gerald face, and reprogramms the biolizard.
Upon investigation of the altered lab on the ARK, GUN finds Gerald guilty and sentences him to death.
Sigmund makes sure to alter Shadow's memories so that he couldn't testify in Geralds defense should they question him. Maria getting shot was an altered memory. Sigmund had been observing Gerald carefully ever since Shadow was brought aboard, so he knew that Shadow's mind was too strong to be directly altered. He witnessed the bond Shadow formed with Maria and knew that the best way to manipulate Shadow's was through his heart rather than his mind, so he used his attachment to Maria to deceive him into believing he wanted revenge.
The events of SA2 occur with the alterations made her being added in, and now after sonic adventure 2. Shadow uses the majority of the energy from the chaos emerald that turn him and sonic super, to teleport to Sonic back onto the Ark, since he knows he has more reasons to live as Shadow believes he's just an experiment and nothing more; however, there was still some energy left, and this allowed him to use chaos control to slow the fall of the space craft. He was in thinking of Maria while doing such.

Sonic Adventure 3 Story
How the Story of Sonic Adventure 3 Play Out
The purpose of this write up is to demonstration how the story of Sonic Adventure 3 could play out using the improved backstory ideas I came up with. Try to tolerate any flaws in certain sections of it though I'd be okay with someone that is good at story telling and narrative to rewriting this for me as long they stuck with my goal and didn't leave out any important events. The goal of this story is first and foremost to clean of and fix the lore surround Shadow's backstory and character. After that it aims to establish a logically sound backstory for the series as a whole, and to add some sensible rules to the universe and the characters abilities which have gotten out of control since Shadow and Sonic's Chaos emerald abilites have become absurd. It goes along with my other article, "Five Things the Story of Sonic Adventure 3 Should Explain."
The story begins following the events of Sonic Adventure 2 with Sonic on trial to settle his accusations from the last game. He is represented by Tails which would not only be epic, but hilarious to see. Tails would present a good case with pictures of the ARK and everything. The jury seems convinces, but when the opposition makes his case he counters all of Tails arguments and shows the images Tails used were fake, showing that he altered the photos to make it look like their Sonic was this so called "Shadow the Hedgehog", he even goes to accuse him the events on the ark, from the video of Gerald to the crashing of the ark into the Earth, was all fabricated to make Sonic look like a hero to world and receive glory. Tails attempts to rebuttal, but this argument by this attorney caught him completely off guard. So when a verdict was reached Sonic was found to be guilty by the jury, and sentenced to a life-time sentence in prison.
As Sonic is hand-cuffed protestingly, Tails tells him to play along for now, "We don't want to cause anymore commotion. I'm going to get a hold of the President right away to settle this. Then tall man in a trench coat an hat from the back of the room exclaims, " Hahahaha, you people make it all too easy!" As he says this he presses a button on a remote control. A robotic claw then crashes through the building grabbing Sonic and pulling him outside.
"Sonic!" Tails exclaims while Sonic is being pulled away, moving towards him with his arm stretched out.
Laughing manically, the man throws off his cloak and hat and is revealed to be none other than Dr. Eggman. His Eggmobile then flies in underneath him as he jumps in the air. He takes off exclaiming, " Later pea brains, it's been fun, but if you'll excuse me, I have a world to rule, MWAHAHAHAHA!" Tails and Knuckles, who had been their in the audience the whole time, rush outside after him to see that he is being carried away by one of Eggman's giant contraptions.
Eggman is flying away in one direction and the robot in another, so Knuckles tells Tails, "Tails, I'll go after Eggman while you see if you can free Sonic.
"Right" Knuckles takes off and as Tails heads toward the robot, he seems something surprisingly odd. He sees what appears to be Shadow running along the tops of the buildings chasing down the robot. "Was that Shadow?! But I thought he died after he and Sonic defeated the Biolizard?! He rubs his eyes and no longer see him. "Was I just imaging things?" He then is seen flying off after the robot, and his level begins.
During Tails' level he has to dodge falling debris from building that the Egg Cyclopes is destroying and using parts of the buildings as platforms. There are Eggman robots throughout the level, and the goal of the level is to catch the Egg Cyclopes. The stomping of the legs of the cyclops can be heard throughout the whole level, and Tails actually catches up to it in a points throughout the level and has to dodge its attacks and fight back; however at the end of the level it ejects from it's legs and lower half, losing most of it's weaponry and flies off with Sonic too fast for tails to keep up.
A Knuckles level would commence here chasing down Eggman and fighting him marking the first boss fight of the game.
The game now shifts back over to Tails who is now in his plane, having called it after the Egg Cyclopes got away. Instead of finding the Cyclopes he finds Sonic in the clutches of the severed arm of the robot that was holding him. Tails lands and hears, "Could you give me a hand here buddy?"
Tails frees him and asks What Happened Sonic, how did you get separated from the Robot and what happened to it?"
"Well, I don't know what is was, but as I was shouting out at the dirty robot to release me, something fast zoomed by and hit the arm, I fell to the ground, and well the rest is history."
Tails mutters to himself, "I wonder if it was him."
"What's that Tails? "You wonder if it was" who?"
"When I was chasing after you I could have sworn I saw Shadow, but I thought I was imagining things. Maybe I wasn't after all."
"Knowing how powerful Shadow was, I wouldn't doubt him finding a way to survive that fall. After all, you guys thought I had died during when Eggman shot me out of that escape pod, but I found a way out."
"But you had the artificial emerald I made, how could he.." Sonic interrupts him.
"Well, there's only one way to find out," As he says this Sonic zooms off running towards the direction the robot went.
"Wait Sonic, Let's take my plane!"
The next scene with show Rouge in her office at GUN . She has been promoted to head of the investigation department by the President for her success on her last case.
"Ms, Rouge, we have some very important reports for you to look at!"
"Ooooh, not now Cheryl, my shifts done, and I was about to head out for some fun!"
"But Ms., havoc by robots has been spreading throughout the city, and video surveillance is showing Dr. Eggman escaping from...
"Eggman! Show me the footage, what do you know, Eggman and...Knuckles!
"So Knuckles is in trouble huh? Oh alright, but he's going to owe me for this."
"Madame, do you want me to deploy our departments troops?" As she asks this a zipper noise is heard,
"No, I can take care of this myself, it looks like its just Eggman after all, and I've taken care of him before." Rouge is shown now wearing a latex suit with a belt with gadgets on it, and the screen fades black.
An after shot of Knuckles and Eggman fighting is shown. Knuckles is panting, and Eggman is shown to have been using an upgraded version of his Eggwalker mech.
"Hahahaha, did you really think you could defeat me Knucklehead?
"Can it Eggman, this isn't over yet," says Knuckles as he get up from being down on one knee and lunges at him." Before he lands a blow, Rouge appears dive kicking Eggman from behind.
"Rouge!" exclaims Knuckles. "What are you doing here?
"Is that anyway to say thank you to some who just saved you?
"I had everything under control. I didn't need your help!"
"Uh huh, oh sure you didn't that's why I saw you on the ground a moment ago. You can repay me by taking me out to dinner later."
"What! I wasn't "on the ground" I was kneeling, and I was preparing for my next attack. It's important to pace yourself during a fight you know, and what makes you think I'd allow myself to be seen eating dinner with you..Hey! Look what you did! You let him get away! As Knuckles and Rouge were talking Eggman managed to slip away unnoticed.
"Leave him. We have more important things to worry about. From what my staff told me, Sonic's been captured by a giant robot destroying the city.
"Yeah, I sent Tails after him. That's right I don't know if Tails can handle that thing on his own. We'd better go..." Rouge interrupts
"If Tails is after him, I'm not worried. That kid can take care of it on his own. He's pretty tough. I have something different in mind for us," says Rouge as she leans in close and winks at a concerned looking Knuckles. The screen fades to black.
(Expect my other back-story posts to tie in from this point forward.)
Now, aboard Rouge's jet Knuckles states in an annoyed tone of voice, " You still haven't told me exactly where we are going."
"It's a place my team found that I wanted to see if you knew anything about." A giant wasteland comes into sight. Mountains shaped shaped like pumpkins with faces carved in them can be seen.
"This is where some of the Master Emerald pieces were lost when I last had to find it, I call it Pumpkin Hill. Why are we here?"
"While I was hacking into the ARK databases, I managed to find this." (pulls an old looking picture printed from the ARK archive of Shadow laying unconscious on the ground)
"Shadow! Was this taken recently?"
"No, look at the date, it was taken over 50 years ago. I guess that means you don't know anything about this?"
"Uh-uh, I'm afraid not."
"Well, we better search the area anyway. I have a hunch we'll find something."
This is where a exploration and puzzle based level would occur. Somehow discovering hints and clues along the way by searching and completing puzzles, and then finding the ruins of a village at the end.
They encounter a trap door in the middle of what looks to have at one time been a shrine. They down inside to discover a room with ancient carvings on the surround stone walls.
"Whoa, it looks like some sort of ancient language," remarks Rouge.
"I..I think I can understand what it's saying."
"What! Really?"
"Yeah, it looks a lot like the writings at the ruin on my island. It says, " Since the beginning of the world, there has always been a protector on the Earth, one being born in each age. This protector is granted special abilities so he can defeat the forces of darkness that time and time again that were to threaten destruction and discord among the world's inhabitants. 7 emerald of power were crafted to grant him the strength when he was in dire need. These gems power could pose a great threat if placed in the wrong hands, so a Master Emerald to cancel out the power of the 7 was formed, and a special guardian of the emeralds was to be born in each age just as the protector. "
"Knuckles..."
"This is taking about Master Emerald and me! and this carving it looks exactly like Chaos!"
"If Shadow and Professor Gerald Robotnik were here when this photo was taken...Its seems there is a lot more to them than we originally thought."
"We should find Tails and Sonic. They ought to know about this."
Screen cuts to black.
I'm going to get the rest of my idea out there and worry about a detailed write up later.
It was Shadow that saved sonic, he destroys the Eggclopes, then proceeds to chase down Eggman.
Shadow forces Eggman to take him to Maria, as he is convinced Eggman kept her being alive a secret from him, so Shadow would help him conquer the world. Eggman plays dumb at first, but Shadow grabs him by the neck of his shirt, and gets him to admit he's only heard rumors of his cousin being alive. It's believed she lives somewhere by the ancient ruins near the red mountain.
Shadow reveals that as he was hurling towards the Earth after teleporting the ARK with Sonic, his mind recognized the situation and was able to remember what truly happened the day the ARK was invaded. Maria wasn't shot, but had made it into the escape pod with him. The escape pod began to Malfunction and he and Maria where chaos controlled to safety as Shadow's power kicked in, in this moment of crisis. Maria was cured of her disease when by Shadow's regenerative powers, which her transmitted to her via his chaos control.
Shadow and he then proceed to that place. Knuckles and Rouge, who were near by, saw Eggman's ship and followed him. Sonic and Tails received a message from Rouge before she left with Knuckles telling them where they were and so they are their as well. Once there Eggman uses a piece of Maria hair that was inside of his Grandfather's journal to track down Maria with everyone now with him and Shadow. It, in fact, ends of being in a small village of hedgehogs. Maria despite her age, looks young as if she were only 30-40. Shadow says, " Maria..." to which Maria rushes forward and embraces him replying emotionally, "Shadow" She explains that after Shadow was the last time she saw him he was shocked unconscious and being taken away behind close doors. She was then released from GUN, and traveled to the area where Shadow was found as her grandfather, Professor Gerald Robotnik, asked her to go back to where Shadow was found to discover his origins. When at the ruins, she ran into a hedgehog draped in ancient looking garmets, he then invited her back to village where she decided to stay and become a priestess.
A hedgehog recognizes Sonic and its found that the village priest and priestess who watch over the shrine of the guardian, are his parents, and that they had lost him in a storm when he was young; thus, he ended up on the island by Tails and where he befriended and was raised by the woodland creatures becoming their hero. Sonic's parents then take everyone into the Shrine that Knuckles and Rouge stumbled upon earlier and explain to them the legend of the Earth's guardian, with more details that was Knuckles had learned. They state that right after Sonic was born he glowed bright gold for a moment, and that this is a sign of a guardian child. Everyone in Sonic's group is blown away of course, and Maria brings up that Shadow must have been the guardian of the Earth to protect it over 50 years ago, but since he was encapsulated for so long Sonic was born with those powers as well. While all of this is mind blowing news Maria has more important information to share with everyone.
It was revealed to Maria in the recording from her grandfather, that there was another scientist working with him on Project Shadow, the biolizard, named Dr. Freud Sigmund. Sigmund was envious of Gerald discovery of Shadow the Hedgehog and his success with him, so he took his revenge upon Gerald framing him by altering the ARK and spreading rumors of an accident. Gerald made Maria promise to be silent as he knew Sigmund would target her next.
Later it is found out that Sigmund is alive and well, having survived for so long by infusing himself with Shadow's energies. He also reprogrammed Shadow's memories so he would want to take revenge on the Earth to frame Gerald in the event he was awakened. It was described to Sigmund that Shadow escaped via and appeared on Prison Island with Maria by some sort of flash of light. He searched Shadow's memories and DNA to find out about something called, "The Chaos Emeralds" he then deduced that Shadow must have had these so called gems of power with him, and that it must have been by their power he gained the ability to "control" time and space; thus, Sigmund gave this ability the name Chaos control and programmed Shadow to seek out these Chaos Emeralds to perform this move. He also made the design of the ARK canon to be powered by these, but it would short circuit in the event that all seven were inserted as he did not truly intend for the earth to be destroyed, he only intended to thoroughly create the illusion that this was Gerald's goal. Shadow was also programmed to seek for the seven Chaos Emeralds to place in the canon, when he was awakened.
From here events can be added in, but ultimately Sonic and the group infiltrate GUN head quarters where Sigmund resides to expose him. Sigmund has been manipulating and controlling the military and most of the government for years pulling the strings like a spider on his web. Sigmund is a brilliant strategist and tactician pushes Sonic and the group to their limits. They split off inside of the massive headquarters which serves as the final level. He character facing their own unique trials and challenges. Shadow manages to reach Sigmund first and defeats his robot combat machine he uses against him. Sonic shows up now and Sigmund mutters
"Curses! I almost had you in court, until Dr. Eggman interfered."
Sonic: "That was you, wasn't it! I thought you looked familiar. You were wearing disguise, but I'd recognize those beady eyes anyway."
"Yes, that's surprisingly astute for someone so dim. Foiled plan or not, it's no matter you're not getting out of here alive!" A tube shoots up from the floor board engulfing Sigmund. The tube fills with bright lights, as the chaos emeralds can be seen inside floating around him. Sigmund had been slowly moving to the spot where the tube came up while he and Sonic were talking.
He then laughs manically transforming into a hulkish and monsterish form, which is a result of absorbing Shadow's powers and the Chaos emerald which he manages to pull strings to nab between the end of SA2 and now.
Because he absorbs only the negative energy Shadow and Sonic get the positive turning them Super. They defeat him, and he fades into nothingness, having used up the energy keeping him alive. Sonic and Shadow return to normal.
As Eggman was traveling through GUN HQ, he did assist the group in reaching Sigmund, but after he helped he spent his time hacking into the system, so he now has control of the entire system weapons robots and the powerful mech that Sigmund was using except it manages to increase it's powers with technology from the HQs. This could be either a true final level, or just another boss fight with Sonic fight against him, as Shadow is too exhausted and drained of power having fought twice in a row, and being the one to unleash the full extent of his powers to deal the final blow to Sigmund. Sonic prevails but narrowly as he passes out after wards exhausted as well, Tails and Knuckles find him and Rouge grabs Shadow, they all runs out as the head quarters explodes (this part in honor of Michel Bay).
After both recover and awaken, Shadow informs the others he intends to go live with Maria in the village and learn the ways of his people. He offers Sonic to come too as he is part of the same clan, but Sonic declines, stating that he has everything he needs right here, arms stretched out in the direction of Tails Knuckles and Rouge. He then says, "Not to mention Amy'd kill me if she found out I was going to live all the way out there." Everyone laughs at this and he continues, "Besides it'd be too boring for me to stay in one place for so long. I can visit ma and pa anytime I want."
"Suit yourself," replies Shadow.
"Come on guys lets go get some chili dogs!" Sonic
"Knuckles, what's a chili dog? It is some type of frozen pet we have to warm?"
Everyone laughs one last time into the credits and the game ends.
Well, it's finally done. I intended to write it like a novel, but getting my ideas out there is more important. If you'd managed to make it this far and read it let me know what you think, and
Thanks for playing (reading)!
Another day brings another adventure, but for now
Rest easy heroes.

Sonic Story reboot Update #4
-Professor Hannibal is being changed to Proffessor Sigmund
Changes made to story in update #3
After Gerald is taken arrested by GUN Sigmund sneaks onto the ARK to frame Gerald when an investigation is done on the ARK.
Programs it to crash in the earth, makes a false recording death threat of revenge by Gerald, altering parts of Gerald's journal, programming the ARK canon to destroy the Earth and look like Gerald face, reprogramming the biolizard,
Upon investigation of the altered lab on the ARK, GUN finds Gerald guilty and sentences him to death.
Before being executed Gerald manages to record a message for Maria and Shadow which he installs into ao micro mechanical spider which takes it too her.
Sigmund makes sure to alter Shadow's memories so that he couldn't testify in Geralds defense should they question him. Maria getting shot was an altered memory. Sigmund had been observing Gerald carefully ever since Shadow was brought aboard, so he knew that Shadow's mind was too strong to be directly altered. He witnessed the bond Shadow formed with Maria and knew that the best way to manipulate Shadow's was through his heart rather than his mind, so he used his attachment to Maria to deceive him into believing he wanted revenge.
When GUN invaded the ARK Maria actually manages to enter the capsule alongside Shadow. Don't worry Maria and him still has an emotional bonding moment where they are alone talking, and Maria, being an idealistic, tells Shadow how much the Earth and the people on it mean to her, asking him to promise to protect it which of course he does. As Maria ans Shadow are hurling towards the earth in the capsule it begins to overheat and malfunction, in this desperation Shadow's powers kick in and he uses a chaos control to teleport them out of the capsule; however they are sent to different places. Shadow suddenly remember when the day his village was attacked and he went berserk, so he is sent there. Maria was thinking of her grandfather, and is sent to him. They get to talk and Gerald hands her the disk journal he made with the true record of what occurred, a video recording for Shadow, and one for her as well before the guards realize she's there. He forbids her to present this to GUN because he doesn't want Sigmund to target her or alter it before his trial. After Maria describes the events to Gerald, and after seeing she no longer moves with crippled impairment, Gerald deduces that when "the bright flash of light (chaos control)" occured Shadow's cellular regeneration must have spread to her and cured her which it in reality did. She then goes on to live a long healthy life. She is still alive when Shadow emerges 50 years later, and meets him again eventually. So then Shadow finally gets to visit with Maria now and older, but fit friend. Shadow now finally has the happy ending that he deserves, and a backstory that isn't absurd.
Character description of Sigmund: He is an INTJ. He has an ultimate goal, and carefully executes a plan to achieve. Just like an INTJ he carefully observes and learns first then he makes a plan carefully considering all angles and planning for all contingencies. He plan is extremely well thought out and thorough. His ultimate goal was to be recognized for his scientific accomplishments just like INTJs will have ultimate goals. While conniving, Sigmund is still highly rational; thus, he doesn't seek for anything outside of his main goal. This is why after his plan succeeds, Gerald is killed, and he once again is reinstated as head scientist for GUN, thus giving him world-wide credibility, he makes no further malicious plans for now. DUN DUN DUH!

Sonic Reboot Update #3
Foreword: Upon realizing that I had forgotten about key events that occurred in Sonic Adventure 2 which would make certain events in my previous story reboot impossible, so I'm modifying it here with a new explanation that I actually like quite a bit better. The story I write here is designed to fit in with the events of Sonic Adventure 2 and alter the the story if the games after. In this write I've come up with a way to legitimately make Professor Gerald a good guy again even after the "ARK canon crashing into the earth" extravaganza. Feel Free to share this as much as possible. My ultimate goal, well hope, is that this gains a lot of attention in the community and eventually Sega, who would then make Sonic Adventure 3 as a direct sequel to Sonic Adventure 2. When and where necessary, I'll be adding to, or editing this, but like last time, I'll leave the old version up, so you can see the changes I made.
The reason I'm doing this is because I really enjoy the good parts of the stories in the Adventure games. The adventure series was my first experience playing a sonic game and I loved them. The stories were captivating, well told, and interesting; something all 3D games past SA2 fail to do. So, I've been thinking of what they could have done with the story instead of saying shadow was made from Alien DNA, and the rest of that garbage. This reminds me of the DBZ reboot that's taking place with the Battle of the Gods movie. Two-hundred more episodes are coming! Isn't that great?! I'm very excited. Anyway... time to get back to the topic at hand; Sonic.
Establishment of Sonic's Origins:
Objective: To help explain why Shadow and Sonic are both hedgehogs, equal in power, and why it is that a hedgehog is the Ultimate life form. Here goes.
From the beginning of the Earth, and at every individual age of civilized beings, there has been a protector of the Earth who, from birth, was granted the power to protect it and its inhabitants from harm. There usually will only be one, as only one is needed; however, certain circumstances allow for more than one to exist at once, such in the case of Shadow, and Chaos. This character would be born not only with great power, but with a .heroic and noble character. Sonic would be one of those great and noble protectors who inherited this noble character to stop evil from overtaking and destroying the Earth. This would explain why Sonic is always to eager to help those in need and save the day from Doctor Eggman. The Chaos Emeralds, which could be have had the original name of Emeralds of the protector, as well as the master emerald which governs the other seven, could be have been created for use of the protector, as there may be times his powers aren't good enough, and he needs more strength to protect the Earth and save the day. Simple concept, but it would add depth to the Sonic Universe.
Shadow would have originally been the protector of the Earth, as he inherited it's power at birth, but his hedgehog village is attacked by a savage neighboring village who kills everyone, except the village priestess and her husband (Possibly Shadow's parents are the ancestors to Sonic, and are about to kill Shadow when, due to the extreme emotional distress he's undergoing from seeing his so many of his people die and as well as being in danger of dying, his guardian powers that were yet to be unleashed were then released and he not only destroys the all of the attackers, but the whole surrounding area. After rampaging, Shadow collapses and passes out exhausted. The havoc he caused permanently altered the landscape creating the Pumpkin hill type area.
Shadow startled, confused, awakes in the Space Colony ARK. Professor Gerald was on a "research trip" to find another specimen for his ultimate life project for the government, project Shadow but is truly seeking for plants and animals to cure the disease his granddaughter Maria had, found Shadow and nursed him back to health. Shadow, who was near death, recovers almost over night with an accelerated healing ability granted to him by being the guardian of the Earth. This gives Gerald the idea to use Shadow to make a cure for Maria. Gerald moved him to the ark with power inhibitor rings placed on his wrists to restrain his destructive power. He also invents a teleporter that connects from the A.R.K. to his secret pyramid base, he keeps from the government, in case he needs to quickly escape the A.R.K.
Gerald's granddaughter Maria, who is his favorite because she has always taken an interest in her grandfathers' work and thus, earned her grandfather's trust, was raised on the ark and is a patient there after being Diagnosed with NIDS (Neuro Immune Defiency Syndrome) at a young age. She does not remember what it's like to be on the Earth as implied in SA2. Dr. Robotnik hasn't told Maria about Shadow's rampage nor how potentially dangerous he can be because he secretly hopes her natural warmth and affection can help Shadow to control his powers. Upon seeing him, she gives Shadow his name due to his black furred appearance and inability to remember anything from his past (great way to fore"shadow" hahaha, his memory problems in Sonic Adventure 2 battle and possibly Sonic Heros if I allow that to exist as a part of this reboot.) Maria visits him often and they become very close. As Shadow has not had any problems controlling himself, Gerald plan seems to be working.
Before he found Shadow, Gerald was working with his fellow scientist, Professor Lecter Hannibal (I'm not good at coming up with original names, sorry, but the name of this guy doesn't matter to me. It could be changed) head of Project Biolizard, on creating the Ultimate life form. When Gerald found Shadow, he presented him to G.U.N and showed them pictures of the destruction Shadow had caused as well as before and after photos of Shadowing recovering. To prove Shadow is capable even further, he says, " Still not convinced? Let me give you a little demonstration." He then proceeds to remove Shadow's cufflink inhibitors and Shadow, then concentrates and moves his arms outward. As he does this the whole building begins to shake, and the G.U.N commander tells Gerald to stop him. After Shadow stops, G.U.N. appoints Gerald as head of "Project Shadow" and removes funding from Project Biolizard.
Upon finding out Gerald has, not only been promoted to replace him as head of the Ultimate Life Form Project, but also that his Biolizard Project was being canceled, Hannibal was consumed with envy as his goal was to become G.U.N. chief scientist, the one to be recognized for creating the Ultimate Life form. Hannibal then proceed to take his revenge on Gerald by framing him into looking like he was intending to use Shadow against the government. They as a result, G.U.N led an assault on the ARK to shut it down, and imprisoned Gerald on Prison Island to create another Shadow, as the Shadow, he had "created" had been ejected from the colony in a tube by Maria. Shadow was found by G.U.N. and brought to Prison Island for Gerald to continue work on with Hannibal as his assistant. Outraged that he was second to Gerald even after framing him, Hannibal, experimented on his mind so he would take revenge on the humanity, as now he was consumed with hate and wanted to wipe everyone out not just the government. Hannibal also manages to find the Hidden Base, Gerald had, and create the eclipse canon, styled as Gerald's face to mock his hated rival. He plans to ruin Gerald's reputation one more time by altering a recording on the ARK of Gerald into a threat against all humanity as if recorded before he was to be executed. Hannibal Programs the Bio lizard to attack upon release as well as combine with the Ark and crash into the Earth should the canon fail. Before he planned was to take action Hannibal decided to pay Gerald one last visit before he destroyed him, revealing he was the one who had framed him and rubbing the death of Maria in. Gerald outraged manages to get he handcuffs around Hannibal's neck and strangles him to the point of permanent brain damage, turning Hannibal into a vegetable. He is then executed, and the events of Sonic Adventure 2 follow from there on out.
The events of SA2 occur with the alterations made her being added in, and now after sonic adventure 2. Shadow uses the majority of the energy from the chaos emerald that turn him and sonic super, to teleport to Sonic back onto the Ark, since he knows he has more reasons to live as Shadow believes he's just an experiment and nothing more; however, there was still some energy left, and this allowed him to use chaos control to slow the fall of the space craft. He was in thinking of Maria while doing such, if you please. I guess Sonic Heroes is okay to be included in this retelling. It wouldn't ruin my purpose here like Shadow the Hedgehog and beyond does. Shadow the Hedgehog giving a terrible resolve to what happened after Sonic Adventure 2 is why I'm even doing this or thinking this. If it resolved the story in an acceptable way then I wouldn't be here doing this, but hey, I'm not complaining. I am enjoying this. In that way I'm sort of glad they their attempt was so terrible. It gives me a chance to re-create the story for them. Sonic Heros is more of a side quest than anything, so it wouldn't need to be exclude since it doesn't ruin my purposes here. It actually carries on the story quite well in some ways. This would be where Rouge finds him in Sonic heroes and releases him from his tube craft thing.
So, that the story I'd made of Sonic and the Adventure series if I had the power to do such, but sadly, I don't ;(

Thanks for reading feel free to comment and tell me what you think.
The reason I'm doing this is because I really enjoy the good parts of the stories in the Adventure games. The adventure series was my first experience playing a sonic game and I loved them. The stories were captivating, well told, and interesting; something all 3D games past SA2 fail to do. So, I've been thinking of what they could have done with the story instead of saying shadow was made from Alien DNA, and the rest of that garbage. This reminds me of the DBZ reboot that's taking place with the Battle of the Gods movie. Two-hundred more episodes are coming! Isn't that great?! I'm very excited. Anyway... time to get back to the topic at hand; Sonic.

Sonic Story Reboot: # 2 (Updated Version)
Version #2 Foreword: Upon realizing that I had forgotten about key events that occurred in Sonic Adventure 2 which would make certain events in my previous story reboot impossible, so I'm modifying it here with a new explanation that I actually like quite a bit better. The story I write here is designed to fit in with the events of Sonic Adventure 2 and alter the the story if the games after. In this write I've come up with a way to legitimately make Professor Gerald a good guy again even after the "ARK canon crashing into the earth" extravaganza. Feel Free to share this as much as possible. My ultimate goal, well hope, is that this gains a lot of attention in the community and eventually Sega, who would then make Sonic Adventure 3 as a direct sequel to Sonic Adventure 2. When and where necessary, I'll be adding to, or editing this, but like last time, I'll leave the old version up, so you can see the changes I made.
The reason I'm doing this is because I really enjoy the good parts of the stories in the Adventure games. The adventure series was my first experience playing a sonic game and I loved them. The stories were captivating, well told, and interesting; something all 3D games past SA2 fail to do. So, I've been thinking of what they could have done with the story instead of saying shadow was made from Alien DNA, and the rest of that garbage. This reminds me of the DBZ reboot that's taking place with the Battle of the Gods movie. Two-hundred more episodes are coming! Isn't that great?! I'm very excited. Anyway... time to get back to the topic at hand; Sonic.
Establishment of Sonic's Origins:
Objective: To help explain why Shadow and Sonic are both hedgehogs, equal in power, and why it is that a hedgehog is the Ultimate life form. Here goes.
From the beginning of the Earth, and at every individual age of civilized beings, there has been a protector of the Earth who, from birth, was granted the power to protect it and its inhabitants from harm. There usually will only be one, as only one is needed; however, certain circumstances allow for more than one to exist at once, such in the case of Shadow, and Chaos. This character would be born not only with great power, but with a .heroic and noble character. Sonic would be one of those great and noble protectors who inherited this noble character to stop evil from overtaking and destroying the Earth. This would explain why Sonic is always to eager to help those in need and save the day from Doctor Eggman. The Chaos Emeralds, which could be have had the original name of Emeralds of the protector, as well as the master emerald which governs the other seven, could be have been created for use of the protector, as there may be times his powers aren't good enough, and he needs more strength to protect the Earth and save the day. Simple concept, but it would add depth to the Sonic Universe.
Shadow would have originally been the protector of the Earth, as he inherited it's power at birth, but his hedgehog village is attacked by a neighboring village and he is near death ( as his powers have not yet awaken) Professor Gerald, who is technically on a "research trip" for his ultimate life-form, biolizard project, he's been working on for the government, but is truly seeking for plants and animals to cure the disease his granddaughter Maria has, finds Shadow and nurses him back to health. Shadow, who was near death, recovers almost over night with an accelerated healing ability granted to him by being the guardian of the Earth. This gives Gerald the idea to use Shadow to make a cure for Maria.
The next ,Shadow awakes, fully recovered, with his powers now activated. Shadow startled, confused, and unable to control himself goes on a rampage destroying everything in his wake. The havoc permanently alters the landscape, creating the Pumpkin hill type area. He is able to calm down and gain control of himself. Dr Gerald, determined to not lose Shadow's abilities dares to approach him and, after explaining his situation, Shadow agrees to help since, as the guardian he's feels compelled to help those in true, just need. Dr. Robotnik invents power inhibitor for Shadow in the form of cuff links, but those were to fail, he decides his work on Shadow should be done on the Space Colony A.R.K., research lab, where he can't easily harm anyone. He also invents a teleporter that connects from the A.R.K. to his secret pyramid base, he keeps from the government, in case he needs to quickly escape the A.R.K.
Gerald's granddaughter Maria, who is his favorite because she has always taken an interest in her grandfathers' work and thus, earned her grandfather's trust, is allowed to visit with Shadow on the space colony ark, as much as she pleases. She also routinely is there to have tests done her as well. Dr. Robotnik hasn't told Maria about Shadow's rampage nor how potentially dangerous he can be because he secretly hopes her natural warmth and affection can help Shadow to control his powers. Upon seeing him, she gives Shadow his name due to his black furred appearance and inability to remember anything from his past (great way to fore"shadow" hahaha, his memory problems in Sonic Adventure 2 battle and possibly Sonic Heros if I allow that to exist as a part of this reboot.)

Sonic Story Reboot: Attempt #1
So, I'm going to keep this brief and to the point, but if anyone wants more details, I'll give more at request.
The reason I'm doing this is because I really enjoy the good stories in games. The adventure series was my first experience playing a sonic game and I loved them. The stories were captivating, well told, and interesting; something all 3D games past SA2 fail to do. So, I've been thinking of what they could have done with the story into of saying shadow was made from Alien DNA, and the rest of the garbage. This reminds me of the DBZ reboot that's taking place with the Battle of the Gods movie. Two-hundred more episodes are coming! Isn't that great?! I'm very excited.

To help explain why Shadow and Sonic are both hedgehogs, equal in power, and why it is that a hedgehog is the Ultimate life form. Here goes.
From the Earth's creation and at every age of man, there has been a protector of the Earth who, from birth, was granted the power to protect it and its inhabitants from harm. There usual will only be one, as only one is needed; however, certain circumstances allow for more than one to exist at once, such in the case of SPOILER Shadow, and Chaos END SPOILER. This character would be born not only with great power, but with a .heroic and noble character. Sonic would be one of those great and noble protectors who inherited this will to stop evil from overtaking and destroying the Earth. This would explain why Sonic is always to eager to help those in need and save the day from Doctor Eggman. The Chaos Emerald, which could be have the original name of Emeralds of the protector, as well as the master emerald which governs the other seven, could be have been created for use of the protector, as they may be times his powers aren't good enough, and he needs more strength to protect the Earth and save the day. Simple concept, but it would add depth to the Sonic Universe.
Shadow would have originally been the protector of the Earth, as he inherited it's power at birth, but his hedgehog village is attacked and he is near death ( as his powers have not yet awaken) when Gerald Robotnik, who is searching for new species for his top secret gentic research, G.U.N. is having him do in a jungle near Shadow's village, finds him, and uses a controversial new cellular regeneration method he's been working on, to revive him, eager to test it out and also wishing to save the dying Hedgehog's life which leaves him altered to look as he does in the present.
The day after the experiment to revive Shadow, he awakes with his powers now activated. Shadow startled, confused, and unable to control himself goes on a rampage destroying everything is his wake. The havoc permanently alters the landscape, creating the Pumpkin hill type area. Dr. Robotnik, who had originally intended to show Shadow to G.U.N., decides to hide him in his A.R.K colony research lab, as he wants to prevent misuse of his power from happening which has proven to be capable of extreme destruction.
Gerald's granddaughter Maria, who takes an interest in her grandfathers' work, and as she has earned her grandfather's trust, is allowed to visit Shadow on the space colony ark, as much as she pleases. Dr. Robotnik hasn't told Maria about Shadow's rampage nor how potentially dangerous he can be because he secretly hopes her natural warmth and affection can help Shadow to control his powers. Upon seeing him, she gives Shadow his name due to his appearance and inability to remember anything from his past (great way to fore"shadow" hahaha, his memory problems in Sonic Adventure 2 battle and possibly Sonic Heros if I allow that to exist as a part of this reboot.) Maria visits him often and they become very close. As Shadow as not had any problems controlling himself, his plan seems to be working.
Completely fascinated by Shadow, Dr. Robotnik devotes all his time and effort into studying Shadow and performing tests on him. This is all kept from the knowledge of G.U.N as Dr. Robotnik is the only one with access to the Space Colony Ark. After several months of no results from Gerald, who each time he was question insisted he was on the verge of a new discovery and he'd certainly be able to get it if he was only to receive more time, G.U.N. hacks into Gerald's computer file only to discover he's been secretly holding a being called shadow, and they witness footage of the destruction by Shadow that Gerald managed to capture. Appauled by what they have discovered, G.U.N. immediately prepares to invade the Ark Colony, and take Gerald by surprise, to shut down his project.
As they arrive, Gerald is quickly apprehended by GUN soldiers and taken prisoner. The troops then, unaware of Maria's existence on the colony storm the room where is Shadow is being held, shooting heavy fire into the room as room as they enter killing Maria in the process, but not shadow due to a special launch tube Gerald had created in case this situation was to occur and to prevent GUN from taking Shadow for their use.
Gerald is locked for many years and due to this and the death of his granddaughter, whom he loved more than anyone else, he loses his sanity, and plots his escape and revenge on the GUN and, now insane, the Earth. He never received a trial due to his work being a secret project for the government. He constantly tries to tell his story to the guards to prove he's innocent. Not only do they not believe him, but they laugh and make fun of him, having been lied to about what happened by their GUN superiors. One day decide to video tape "the wacky old coot"doctor, going off on one of his "crazy tales" again. This time however, the Doctor now having lost his mind, doesn't try to prove his innocence, but swears revenge on the GUN and the plant. The GUN soldiers while stunned at first, quickly laugh it off, saying, "See, there he goes again, as crazy as ever." He spends ten years collecting and hiding what little technological resources he can find to construct a machine to enable his escape. In the middle of the night when the guards are the fewest, Robotnik makes his escape with his now finished, Robowalker. Before leaving he manages to grab the video the guards recorded intending for it to play right as his plan to destroy the earth and take his revenge unfolds.
He's on the run for several months, and having partially gained his insanity desides to pay a visit to his closest known relative, which happens to be a child Dr. Eggman, and his parents. He spends a few weeks at their home telling them he simply needed a place to stay while working on an project in the area. During this time he bonds with his grandson, Eggman. He decides by staying with his relatives any longer he's putting them at risk so he decides it's time for him to go, but before he leaves, he tells, young Eggman, " Don't trust people. You can only trust what the machines you create." This inspires Eggman to become an inventor and create lots, and LOTS, of robots. Seriously, his robots could probably fill 20 Disneyland parking lots!
Dr. Gerald Robotnik, manages to return to his transporter which allows him to return to the Space Colony Ark. It had been left untouched as Gerald had managed to lock his files and transporter on Earth, to get to the colony, from letting anyone but a Dr. Robotnik with the correct password of MARIA from using them. GUN, having captured Gerald, decided to leave the ARK, seeing it as non lethal, and they did not want to awaken public awareness to their project, by destroying it. Because Eggman is gentically and appearance wise similiar to his grandfather, he is able to travel to the ARK with his grandfather's transporter and use the computer in the ark. Upon returning, all traces of Gerald's regained sanity are completely wiped out, as he witnesses the place where Maria died. He then begins to work towards his revenge. Using the computer, he discovers the location the cryogenic tube containing landed Shadow landed and retrieves it. He then reprograms Shadow to carry out his plan of destroy upon being released from his capsule. Should he fail, he also transforms the ark into a canon capable of blowing up the earth if all chaos emeralds were collected. On top of this he programmed his old biolizard project to ensure the ark successfully crashed into the Earth if the other two methods didn't prove fruitful.
He is about to release Shadow, but he sees a picture of him and Maria and is immobilized. Now, manic and struggling between sanity and insanity, he doctor jeckel and mr hydes around the room until he falls into a spare cryogenic tube and is launched into space.
The events of SA2 occur with the alterations made her being added in, and now after sonic adventure 2. Shadow uses the majority of the energy from the chaos emerald that turn him and sonic super, to teleport o Sonic back onto the Ark, since he knows he has more reasons to live as Shadow, believes he's just an experiment and nothing more; however, there was still some energy left, and this allowed him to use chaos control to slow the fall of the space craft he was in thinking of Maria while doing such, if you please. I guess Sonic Heros is okay to be included in this retelling. It wouldn't ruin my purpose here like Shadow the Hedghog and beyond does. Shadow the Hedghog giving a terrible resolve to what happened after Sonic Adventure 2 is why I'm even doing this or thinking this. If it resolved the story in an acceptable way then I wouldn't be here doing this, but hey, I'm not complaining. I am enjoying this. In that way I'm sort of glad they their attempt was so terrible. It gives me a chance to re-create the story for them. Sonic Heros is more of a side quest than anything, so it wouldn't need to be exclude since it doesn't ruin my purposes here. It actually carries on the story quick well in some ways. This would be where Rouge finds him in Sonic heros and releases him from his tube craft thing.
So, that the story I'd made of Sonic and the Adventure series if I had the power to do such, but sadly, I don't ;(
