Yeah she joins the team. owo

So Angel island fell, several of Eggman's old robotic machines he thought were too dangerous and unpredictable to use broke out during the chaos and the team try to find a quick base to plan out what to do.

Shade decides to join, not only because Ix lied to her and nearly got her killedShe is quite impressed with both Sonic and Knuckles, and offers to fight alongside them to redeem herself for unknowingly contributing to Ix's plans for world domination.

They ask her questions about the Nocturnus. Apparently they were all fighting just regular footsoldiers and captains before with Shade being one of Ix's best soldiers and spies to lead them. Also, that portal leads into a realm called the Twilight cage and it's thanks to the warp belts that the Nocturnus use that let them temporarily enter Sonic's world long enough to put their plan into motion. But now with the portal made by Ix, when they return they'll be able to stay, permanently.

The Twilight Cage appears very much like the inside of a space nebula: spiraling, indigo gas against a backdrop of distant star lights. The only solid ground in the Cage comes in the form of planetary fragments torn from other worlds, including the Nocturnus Clan's city-fortress, the Nocturne.

Also what is interesting is that while Knuckles says that the Nocturnus disappeared 4000 years ago, Shade says that as far as she knows, her clan was only in the Twilight cage for a few decades. o.o
