Summary
After the accident that ended Sonic's racing career, people insisted that he should be thankful to be alive. Unfortunately, while that may be true, he's also very bored and, quite frankly, starting to feel like a burden: Tails makes enough money for them at his repair shop, but Sonic can see the toll it's taking on his brother. So when a mysterious benefactor offers him a chance to race again, Sonic eagerly accepts, becoming Eggman Industries' unofficial spokesman, the Phantom Rider.
However, when a new driver called the Dark Rider arrives on the scene, Sonic finds that his contract with Eggman Industries comes with strings attached. At the same time, his brother hires a new shop assistant, the mysterious and enigmatic Shadow, who instantly captures Sonic's interest. Torn between his morals, his love of racing, and his desire for Shadow's attention, Sonic will have to decide whether being the Phantom Rider really is worth it.
