Now, he is out in the world destroying everything in his path. Team Sonic is tasked with bringing Shadow down but as it turns out, Shadow is way too powerful even for the three of them combined so, they form an unusual alliance with Doctor EggMan and now, they are the only line of defense the world has against Shadow.
