NAKED HEDGEHOG

gistfile1.txt

Shadow          There's a saying in the orient: "Loyalty to the End"... 
                Do you know what it means?

Sonic           Being... Patriotic?

Shadow          It means devoting yourself to your country. As long 
                as we have "Loyalty to the End" there's no point in 
                believing in anything... Even in those we love.

Sonic           And that's the way a Hedgehog's supposed to think?

Shadow          The only thing we can believe in with absolute 
                certainty... Is the mission, Sonic.

                I'm defecting to the Eggman Empire, Sonic.
                You can't come with us.

[...]

Shadow          I didn't defect. I'm loyal to the end to my purpose.

                What about you Sonic? What's it going to be?
                Loyalty to you country or loyalty to me?

                Your country or your old mentor? Your mission or your 
                beliefs? Your duty to your unit or your personal 
                feelings?

                The only thing we can believe in with absolute 
                certainty... Is Chaos, Sonic.

Shadow          Life's end... Isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic.

                I've been waiting Sonic. For a long time.

Sonic           Shadow...

Shadow          There is nothing more for me to give you. All that's
                left for you to take is my life.

                ... By your own hand.

                One must die and one must live. No victory, No Defeat.
                The survivor will carry on the fight.

                The one who survives will inherit the title of Hedgehog.

                Kill me... Kill me now...

                There's only room for one Shadow...
                And one Sonic...

Amy             Shadow's defection was a ruse set up by South
                Island. But then something happened that no
                one could have predicted.

                Black Doom fired an American-Made Nuclear Warhead
                at Eggman's research facility. So the Operation itself
                was greatly expanded and revised.

                The authorities in South Island knew that in order to
                prove their innocence they'd have to get rid of
                Shadow... Shadow wouldn't be allowed to come back home
                alive.

                And he wouldn't be allowed to kill himself. His life
                would be ended by his most beloved disciple... That was
                the way that the government wanted it. That was the
                mission he was given.

                The taint of disgrace will follow him to his grave.
                Future generations will revile him.

                In South Island as a despicable traitor with no sense of
                honor... And in Eggman Empire as a monster who unleashed
                a Chaos Catastrophe...

                He will go down in history as a war criminal...
                That... Was his final mission.

                Sonic, history will never know what he did. No one will
                ever learn the truth.

                His story... His debriefing... Will endure only in
                your heart.

                Everything he did he did for his country. He
                sacrificed his life and his honor for his native land.

                He was a real Hero. He was a true Patriot.
