Shadow only took a moment to see that this trio was now alarmed of his presence, but he wasn't that all worried about that. Though, he did have to consider that he couldn't do this on his own, as he had to get Sonic's help in many of the past adventures. So, he had to settle with at least some group of people. Silently, Shadow activates his Chaos Control once again, and once it wore off, Shadow would be behind the trio. "Before you assume anything, I am not some mindless animal..." Shadow says, seeing that their alarm stances signified that they thought of Shadow as some strange animal.
