My prologue is long. VERY LONG. I'll put in snips of each part of the prologue.

Oh, yeah, this is a Sonic the Hedgehog fanfic, based on all of the games but not completely consistent to them. I beat all the games (except the next-gen game for the PS3/XBox 360), so I have no trouble doing this fanfic.

If you have some kind of don't-pay-attention-much syndrome thingy, here's the PoVs for each part:

1. Some scientist dude named Harri that works for GUN (AKA the government)
2. Shadow the Hedgehog
3. Sonic the Hedgehog
4. Mephiles (The evil dude from Sonic the Hedgehog Next-Gen, Lol he is feathery Lol)

I am a scientist—well, WAS a scientist in Project Shadow II. After Professor Gerald Robotnik’s first version fifty-five years ago and the destruction it brought to Earth, we decided this all had to end. In this secret military base hidden in a giant jungle of moss and other gunk, we conducted our tests on a clone of the black hedgehog. Every experiment took us a step closer to our goal… and here we are. These destructive creatures were finally going to come to rest. No more alien wars… no more mad scientist plans… no more hedgehogs.

“Harri, we need that solution, quickly,” said one of my colleagues, hastily. The clone we used was much weaker than the original and can be put under anesthesia very easily, but it’s still rather strong compared to humans. “That Chaos solution needs to be applied now!” I rushed to switch on a few settings on the energy monitor. The clone’s heartbeat was slow, its breathing was faint. The weaker Sol solution could put this clone into a slow-death stage, but the Emerald solution… that would mean an instant death. Emerald solution can even kill that blue blur of a hedgehog quicker than he can run 10 laps around the city.

Soon, the green fluid mixed in with the red fluid. The greener the fluids became, the slower the clone’s heart and breathing rate would become. I watched the transparent pipes turn green; the acid and poison meters on the computer monitors everywhere go higher. Suddenly, the solution glowed bright green. The clone cringed in pain and mumbled something. It rolled around the medical table, tangling its energy-tracking cords around it. The solution stopped glowing and turned black; the creature stopped moving. The clone’s hand fell across the table, limply.

“This is the key,” I announced quietly to the scientists. “This is the start to the road of peace.”

I am Shadow the Hedgehog, the ultimate life form.

“Freeze, hedgehog!” I turned around and saw a wimpy human in a bulletproof suit and a GUN uniform. His eyes were purple and he had some sort of bruise on his head. “I’m with the military! Come with me NOW, and I won’t shoot!” I stood there, watching him stand shakily. He was still afraid. After a few moments, he pointed his gun at me and kneeled down on the metal scraps. “You comin’ or what, rat?! Because I’m gonna shoot if ya don’t get yourself over here!”

“Hmph,” I sighed. I launched a weak Chaos Spear at him. The human fell across the broken bridge, knocked unconscious. I stepped near him and looked down at the soldier. “You people just get more pathetic each time,” I grunted, moving him over to the shore.

It was then I noticed the man had a strange symbol pressed on his forehead, not a bruise. It faded away into smoke before I could memorize it. Hmm… maybe that was just me, I pondered. But I won’t forget that. I dashed away into the big city of Station Square. I skated along the surface of the murky water and went deep in thought. I was soon absorbed into this foreign thought, one that has never crossed my mind before.

“You are not just Shadow… you do not remember who you truly are…

“…you don’t… remember…and you never will…

“…never…!”

My heart raced with rage. Everything seemed to turn ice cold. I countered that thought with one of my own memories.

I know who I am! I have fought for one and a half years to find out my true identity. You… you just want to take it all away. I will not suffer once more!

=BIG HUGE WARNING=

THE FOLLOWING TWO SELECTIONS CONTAIN SPOILERS TO THE NEW GAMES!!!!

=DO NOT READ ON UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO=

(And I'm being serious about this.)

“Upon possession of the Seven World Rings, the user shall be offered up in sacrifice… I sacrifice YOU, Sonic the Hedgehog!” The purple genie sneered. The multicolored rings formed a circle around him, floating in midair.

[This is the end. No matter what happens, this will be the end of me…]

Erazor’s blade lifted high towards the painted ceiling. It reflected the light around me, but yet… I wasn’t in that reflection. I closed my eyes, getting ready for the final impact…

“Sonic!”

Ksswing!

I opened my eyes again. Standing there in front of me was Shahra. The blade had run through her and left a deep cut on her chest. There was no bloodshed, but Shahra… she was dying. She fell to the floor. I picked her up and rested her on a fallen pillar.

“I wish for you not to die and for everything to go back to the way it was! Please, Shahra, grant a wish!”

The genie could barely open her eyes. She felt lighter and soon was as light as air.

“I’m sorry… Sonic… I cannot… grant….”

Shahra fell limp and cold and faded into thin air. She was no more… she was dead. My mind and heart filled with sorrow. She sacrificed herself… for me. Rage then flooded in with it, and I looked up at the mumbling Erazor. He smiled, pleased by what had happened. Suddenly…

“Urwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”

The Seven World Rings shot through him and were absorbed into his body. He morphed and morphed, growing six arms, going to a height of almost half a mile, and holding an angry expression on his face. He was the ultimate monster, but he did not seem right.

“I am Alf Layla wa-Layla!! I am the NEW creator of the Arabian Nights and shall shape them in my image!!” yelled the mutated genie.

“You’re… you’re just some sort of incomplete monster!” I said to it. The rings shot back out of him as he gained his final form. They zoomed around like rockets in the never ending void. Eventually, they took a turn and headed straight toward me. My flame grew cold. Just as I started to feel faint, the Rings blasted themselves into me. Pain and fear filled my entire body and...

“AAAAAGH!!"

Somebody I knew was going through the very fabric that separated his time from mine. He was the one that had helped to erase my existence from the other world.

His name was Silver the Hedgehog.

Silver was trying to go back to the time period I was in using his telekinetic powers. At that time, his mind would be open to release the energy. I immediately seized the opportunity and grabbed him. I stopped him right on the edge of the two universes.

It was a hard battle, but after about an hour or so, his mind was mine. I took over his body and looked at the frozen worlds next to me. Using telekinetic powers, I looked into the opposite world on the right. I saw my human slaves searching for my shadow, but I could not see the shadow itself. My sight did not go far.

Soon, something felt like it was sucking my spirit into the body. I looked down at my host’s hand and saw a red, rounded-rectangle-cut gem—a Sol Emerald. I became infused with my host, replacing his soul with mine.

I can control anybody I want, I remarked. With these Emeralds, I can secure my physical form again. I can rebuild myself to the way I once was!

Comments and stuff, please.

I'll be honest- I don't know very much about Sonic the Hedgehog. But, from reading these snippets, I'd say the story is worth reading. I would like to see more, either way. Only one thing struck me as strange, though. Would a scientist really describe something as 'gunk'? XD Anyway, good job, Hoshika. ^^

I said "gunk"? ONOES! I'll fix that! D=

I COULD put this on TSS, but I don't like it there. D=

I know my share of Sonic so I know where this is coming from, but concerning the whole 'gunk' thing (even if you changed it)... Even if it was a mistake, a scientist might call it: goo/gel/liquid-like substance at best.

Just wanted to say my input, nice stuff though. But those two new games aren't they...

Yes, they are. I'll combine them together somehow. =o

Changed "gunk" to "mutated plants".

Could you please tell me whether or not I should put this fanfic here?

Ah I see, like to see how that turns out...

Why not? Be it a Sonic, Klonoa, Golden Sun, Zelda (WW esp.), Detective Conan fic I'll read it. But that's me. You have nothing to lose wherever you post it, be it FF.net, a Sonic board or the "Other fanfic" section of this or other places, so I say throw caution to the wind and go for it.

It actually blended well in the first book, since they both seem to be based off of fire.

I'll start making the banners. XD
