On their way to Angel Island, the gang was talking about their adventure around the world and how they had a great time there like it was an awesome vacation.

"Man, it felt like we had a great vacation there" Tails said.

"Yeah, best vacation ever" Blaze said.

"Yeah. 7 counties in just a week" Nebula said. They saw Angel Island on sight.

"I can't believe we just travel to those countries together and that we became a couple in Egypt. But I'm truly sorry I betrayed you in Egypt" Shadow said.

"It's over now Shads so you are forgiven" Nebula said.

"There it is again. We are going to land soon" Tails said.

"Okay fasten your seatbelts" Shadow said. He puts on his own and so did the others. Tails landed the plane near the Master Emerald temple.

"Welcome back, Shadow" a familiar voice called.

Shadow gasps in horror, "Eclipse?"

He looked up to see Eclipse holding Tikal hostage with his hand turned into a blade.

"Tikal! Let her go, bastard!" Knuckles said.

"Give me the emeralds or this female echidna dies" Eclipse said to them all.

"Brother, why are you doing this?! Those chaos emeralds belongs to this planet, not ours!" Shadow growled.

"You don't see the opportunity here Shadow, with them we can make the earthlings our slaves. You are still manipulated by them, even the purple one" Eclipse said.

"Hey, it's violet-blue! Not purple!" Nebula growled.

"No, Eclipse. You and father were wrong about Earth. You were wrong about these guys" Shadow pointed at his friends, "All my life you and father told me that everything on other planets were cold, greedy, and evil! But the only thing I see that is cold, greedy, and evil is YOU and everyone on Planet Doom!!" he walks up and punched his brother aside, letting Tikal free.

"Run!" he said to Tikal before resuming his fight with Eclipse. But he dodges Shadow and slices him in the back.

"Argh! YAAAGH!" Shadow punches him again and grabs his quills to throw him over, "Consider this family tree broken, brother! I'm staying on Earth and I'm never going back to that evil planet again! The chaos emeralds and the Master Emerald remain here where it belongs! Leave this planet Earth alone and never come back!"

"Hmph! Fine! Father won't be very happy! Mark my words, little brother! You'll see what happens when you betray our kind!" Eclipse snarled and walks away, heading to his space-ship to leave Earth.

Shadow keeps glancing at Eclipse just to be sure he's leaving for good, he saw the space-craft hovering up in the air and goes in light-speed to the sky.

"He's gone for now?" Nebula asks Shadow.

"No, he'll be back" Shadow said, "I don't know when but I hope he doesn't come back"

"Man, I'm not receiving any future visions again. Perhaps we're okay right now. Nothing to worry about" Silver said.

"Yeah. Shadow, welcome to your new home. A planet filled with happiness, nature, and peace" Nebula hugs the alien hedgehog.

Shadow smiled and hugged her back, "Thanks Nebula" he said.

At Planet Doom, Eclipse has told Black Doom everything about Shadow double crossing them again.

"I can't believe he betrayed us! I raised him to be evil like us but now he realized we lied to him about everything! Eclipse, call our Black Arms creatures! We're going to attack planet Earth for good!" Black Doom said.

"With pleasure, father. You can trust me" Eclipse bows to him and walks away.

Black Doom fiddled with his fingers and looks at the statue of Shadow, he goes up to it and chops the head off, "Prepare to see your adopted world perish!"

Back on Earth, Shadow had never felt so happy to be on planet Earth. This planet was actually like home to him than his old alien planet he was born on. Everything that his father told him was all lies. Black Doom was never like a father to him before.

Right now, he's with Nebula at the swimming pool having a great day with her along with his friends too. Knuckles on the other hand was at Angel Island guarding the Master Emerald and he did not have time to come to the swimming pool.

"Well Shadow. I guess that you want to stay here forever" Nebula said.

"Yup because I love this place. Now I just need to have a job and bank account as well" Shadow said.

"We'll do that later, Shadow" Nebula ran her finger on Shadow's chest-fur.

"Ohhh you .....*puuuurrr*....... like it? Oops!" Shadow realized he purred.

"It's normal, Shadow" Nebula chuckled.

At the same time in the pool, Blaze, Silver and Tails was playing with an inflatable ball. Tails even invited his best pal Sonic and his girlfriend Amy Rose to come over.

"So how was traveling around the world like?" Sonic asked.

"Just fine my old friend. Shadow and Nebula became a couple in Egypt after we found the first two chaos emeralds" Tails said.

"Interesting. I know I couldn't come along because I save the day in Station Square every day with my girlfriend Amy" Sonic said.

"It's all right, Sonic" Tails said.

"Here you go you two. I know it's your favorite popsicle, Nebula" Amy hands Shadow and Nebula the Firecracker popsicles.

"Thanks, Amy" Shadow said and takes a bite on it.

"Wait, Shadow! It's very--..." Nebula tried to say but Shadow tensed up.

"Yeowww!!!" Shadow held his head, feeling his brain freezing up.

"....cold" Nebula finished her sentence, "Don't panic. It happens to everyone but the brain freeze feeling will go way in a minute. Are you okay?" she asked.

"Y-y-yeah, j-just a bit groggy" Shadow held his head.

"That happened to me the first time" Nebula said, "It's very cold, so try not to bite it. You simply lick the popsicle so that it can melt a little"

"Okay" Shadow nods and licks his popsicle a little and then does it again. Nebula smiled at him and licks her own popsicle to taste the good flavor on it. After eating a bit on the popsicle, Shadow licks his lips.

"Yummy" he said.

A while later after having fun in the pool and taking a shower to get the chlorine off their fur and skin, they all went to do something else in the city. Nebula, Shadow, and Silver drove to the Astronomy Research Facility to get back to work.

"Welcome back Dr. Emerald, Silver and Shadow. Where have you been?" Professor Pickle asked them.

"On vacation" Nebula said.

"I see. Well it's good to have you back though" Pickle said.

"Yup. Nebula and Silver has taught me a lot of things professor. Say uh, is the snack machine fixed?" Shadow wondered at the last sentence.

"Yup, it's fixed. Nebula told me what happened last week when you arrived here. So nothing to worry about" Pickle said.

"Thanks" Shadow said.

Silver suddenly receives a future vision; his eyes glowed teal-blue and he falls to his knees at what he's seeing right now.

"Silver!" Everyone gets near him.

"They are coming!" Silver gasped.

"Who's coming?" Pickle asked him.

"Black Doom, Eclipse and the Black Arms are coming to Earth. They are after Shadow for betraying them" Silver said and his eyes returns to normal.

"Oh, no. My brother probably told my father about this. How close are they to the solar system, Silver?" Shadow asked.

"Very close. In one hour they're heading to Earth" Silver said.

"What are we gonna do, Shadow?" Nebula asked, feeling scared and worried.

"We better get us ready to fight them. Come on, let's warn the others" Shadow said.

"Good idea. We better contact them by the phones" Silver said.

"We gotta warn Knuckles and Tikal too. They got to hide the emeralds" Nebula said.

"Exactly, better contact them now!" Shadow said.

"You got it!" Nebula said, they all got out from the Astronomy Research facility to get to Tails workshop.
