Carls493 | Shadow the Hedgehog: Story Cycle 6: Part 1: Westopolis (Normal Mission) @Carls493 | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
With this being the start of my 6th cycle through this Story Mode, I'm finally reached a halfway point towards actually beating this entire game.
Let's keep it going, shall we?
----------
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!
----------
Westopolis' three missions are:
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 I took on the Normal Mission.
Once again, what will matter towards getting a high rank in a Normal Mission is namely how fast you can get to the Goal Ring. The less time it takes, the bigger your Time Bonus will be. This Bonus also affects your rank for Dark and Hero Mission.
So in other words, you want an A? GOTTA GO FAST!
----------
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' Normal Mission, Shadow walks away with the first two Chaos Emeralds, making his way towards the next one.
Black Doom was irritated with Shadow not obeying his orders. Shadow still wanted to know who he even was, and Black Doom took note that Shadow couldn't even remember his creator: Professor Gerald Robotnik.
In the meantime, Black Doom wasn't going to let Shadow get away with his disobedience and warped him away to a distant land to teach him a lesson.
