Carls493 | Shadow the Hedgehog: Story Cycle 5: Part 1: Westopolis (Hero Mission) @Carls493 | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Getting through the Story Mode of this game continues to get more and more redundant as I reach more endings, but rest assured that, while I'm not gonna cover every single mission in the game this way, I'll still make sure that every level eventually gets covered at least ONCE.
So here's the start of my 5th run!
----------
Every time you start a new Story Mode run, the beginning of the game will always be the same.
Sometime after the defeat of Metal Sonic in Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog continued to wrestle with his lack of memories. He could only now remember a small amount of brief ones.
He was in some kind of space station... with him an a girl he was with being chased down by GUN soldiers.
And then suddenly... a gunshot...!
Shadow had yet to know what it all meant, or who he even was. He didn't even remember that that girl was his beloved Maria...
Suddenly, the skies were cloaked in jet black and crimson clouds, and they rained down with a new terrifying alien force known as the Black Arms. They quickly conquered the entire world in destroyed everything in sight.
Humanity was quickly at its knees, but Shadow didn't care.
But then... he was approached by the Black Arms' leader: Black Doom.
Black Doom mentioned about the "promised time" upon the Earth, but before then, he demanded Shadow to find, gather, and bring to him the 7 Chaos Emeralds.
Shadow had no clue what this was all leading up to, but he believed that searching for those emeralds will give him the answers, including the truths to his past!
----------
For the 5th time, here are Westopolis' three missions:
Dark: Team up with Black Doom's Eye and eliminate all of the GUN Soldiers.
Normal: Head to the Goal Ring and get the second Chaos Emerald.
Hero: Team up with Sonic and eliminate all of the Black Arms aliens.
I once again go through the Hero Mission with Sonic.
I went through a Black Comet ending in Story Cycle 4. This will unlock the Satellite Laser, which can lock-on to enemies and summon those exact same explosive lasers that you see throughout Westopolis.
----------
No matter how you beat Westopolis, the next resulting cutscene plays out the same way.
Back at GUN headquarters, the GUN Commander is report of all of the destruction the Black Arms have caused. His attention didn't become extreme, however, until he was reported that Shadow was amongst the carnage.
The Gun Commander then commanded all of his troops to be deployed onto the scene to kill Shadow along with those black aliens. It seemed that getting rid of Shadow was a very personal mission for him.
----------
Following that, after beating Westopolis' Hero Mission, Sonic gets impressed by Shadow's sick moves and challenges him to a new competition. Shadow wasn't interested.
Black Doom's Eye then reported that his army was done with the city and wanted Shadow to move on.
Sonic saw that as more fun to be had, but Shadow wasn't gonna let him outrun him!
