Shattered Crystal is a little bit better than Rise of Lyric, but that is not really saying much lol They are both pretty lackluster games, which is a shame. I haven't played Fire and Ice so....yeah
Azure Wind
The game starts with Sonic, Knuckles, and Amy running through the Tropical Jungle nearing the Beachside lagoon, Knuckles is holding the Chaos Crystal, and the three of them has a destination to get to. This is the first stage, going through the lagoon during the twilight hours. There is a ancient temple at the end where Lute and Tails are waiting. This is an test for Knuckles, as it is a guardian's duty to cleanse the crystal in the temple's waters every once in a while. The entire time the crystal was blinking, which happens every few years and needs to be cleansed, however before that could happen it starts to glow brightly and something flashed near the temple without warning. It is a crab-like creature with glowing moss, and Lute explains that this is not part of the test. This is the first boss battle is this creature, and when it is over, this is when we first see the silhouette of a hedgehog standing on top of the crab creature. The moonlight reveals our very first look of Boom!Shadow, and demands they hand over the Chaos Crystal. When they resist, he whooped their butts, leaving Lute to stand against him. He tries to use Chaos powers, but it doesn't seem to work as he has a surprise...Shadow has a crystal of his own, which shocks Lute as he was hurt during the battle. He disappears after getting what he wants, and Knuckles is very distraught about the situation and swearing vengeance on the hedgehog. They return to Harmony Circle to let Lute heal, but the gang saw everything that went down and the existence of another crystal baffles them since there was suppose to be one. They are contacted by a man named ...uh, lets call him Cucumber asking them for help. Cucumber is the CEO of a major tech company, and claims to knows about what is going on. He explains that many years ago, he knew a man name Gerald Robotnik, a great scientist in his time. His father, Zucchini was CEO at the time, and they have discovered the existence of other Chaos Crystals, seven in total and they have found one of them. They also found out something terrifying, a mural that depicts a great beast that is responsible for the downfall of the Great Echidna Civilization, but was sealed away by the power of the Crystals before it destroyed the world. He also claims that Shadow is the product of the beast, its herald. If he gets his hands on the crystals, he can use it to awaken his master and once again doom them all. Sonic and gang agree to help, Knuckles is more than willing.
So the adventure begins, the glowing moss is making enemy constructs, but they do run into Shadow and Eggman for character battles. They have collected 2 crystals, and Sonic and Amy tries to talk to Shadow to make him see the error of his ways. With some help from Cucumber, they manage to find where Eggman and Shadow have been hiding, an underwater colony that was leftover from the ancient civilization that held the great beast inside. They get in there, Cucumber will join them soon for an all out attack on the colony. Sonic will face Shadow alone and since its his route, he wins!
Eclipsed Moon
We begin with Eggman inside of a small sub, approaching the underwater colony and once inside, it first stage time! In this run, the enemies would be old Zucchini robots that would be left behind, and later on Cucumber robots. According to Gerald's journal, it leads to a chamber that contains not only a Chaos Crystal, but Shadow as well. After he is freed, he was hostile, but upon realizing that Eggman is Gerald's Grandson, he is at ease. He explains to Ivo about this place, this was an ancient science colony thousands of years ago, also serving as a sealing chamber for a extremely powerful energy source called Gaia Force. With it, he could bring the planet itself to its knees, but in order to get it, they need the 7 crystals in order to open the vault and gain its power. So that is what Shads and Eggman is doing and their enemy would be Cucumber robots trying to stop them and of course meeting with Sonic and the gang. Eggmn has his suspicions though, about Gaia Force and his grandfather's journal. He secretly checks the records of the base, and does find a secret file from Gerald that could give more info. He has a bossfight with Cucumber while Shads still have the bossfight with Sonic and wins this one.
Thats what I have so far, but in the next post will be the final story
