Shadow the Hedgehog is holding up Dr. Eggman in the air, demanding the location of Professor Gerald's diary from him, but the doctor refuses. Shadow then grabs Snively by the hair and threatens him. Snively eventually tells him what he wants to know, but Shadow pulls his hair out regardless for wasting his time. He grabs Gerald's diary, encoded onto a disc, from the hidden pocket of a book and heads off to Freedom HQ as it is the only friendly place he can access with the technology needed to read the diary.
