Chapter Text
He wasn't supposed to engage unless it was an absolute necessity.
Eggman's jail-laboratory combo looked like a mix between a modern jail and a medieval dungeon. It gave Shadow the creeps. In one of the cells, there was a familiar jackal. Shadow recognized him immediately.
Still, he wasn't to engage, unless it was an absolute necessity.
The jackal rolled over and fell dead silent mid-groan when he saw Shadow. He immediately crawled to the back corner of the cell, fear evident in his eyes. Shadow knew what he must do.
He was going to engage because it was definitely necessary.
