The History of Shadow.

By SliverZeo

Prologue.

Where am I? How do I know these words? Why is it so dark? What am I... sensing? It's some sort of crowd, of people, of three or four. I feel strong when I'm around them. Wait. They're fading; it is getting colder and darker. Wait, my senses are sharpening. It's not as dark as before. I can now hear... beeps. I was getting smarter and stronger. Someone one is coming. I can sense it... No! I can sense her coming closer to me. I could hear her mystic voice, "This is what Grandpa was working on? It's not as creepy as that lizard, but these doesn't look nice too. That Gizoid is the nicest look Ultimate Life Thingy, but Grandpa's Project Shadows are menacing, not one bit of hero material. I wonder if these things have souls?"

Project Shadow? Is that who I am? Then I began to hear beeps in a rhythm. That girl, she is playing the computers like a piano. It's so soothing. But what did she mean by Project? Am I a robot? No, I can hear my heart beat. But what is a soul? Is it important? Wait I'm sensing powerful forms of energy. One is full of power and rage, it's almost scary. Another as the same, but dormant, but it's growing. I feel two beings as my own, could they be my parents of my creations? And the seven rest, each giving off a warm but powerful glow. Four beings began to approach to my position, they feel important to me. I could here one of them, an old man, "... and this project could connect the our to worlds." Than a younger but stern began to speak voice, "Yes, but you must not tell of our existence to you military, I do not wish to have them on my Island, crowding around the Master Emerald." The old voice replied, "No fear Locke, your scared lands shall not be disturb again. And you will not be bothered too Jules and Charles."

A teenage boy, around my DNA Age approached me, "Whoa dude, he looks like my son. I'm 16 and I have a genetically grown soon who is genetically my age too. Freaky."

An older voice, but younger than the old man began to talk, "Jules, your speed was necessary to help complete Shadow as well as Locke's sensing abilities."

Jules began to speak again, "Yea, but I hope he inherit some of my personality than a certain grumpy red bug-eating echidna that lives in on a floating rock with only one girl."

Locke's stern voice broke in rage, "HEY! WHAT TO MAKE SOMETHING ABOUT IT? BLUE BUSHPIG?"

Jules return the anger, "First off, YES! And It's a HEDGEHOG!"

The old man broke up the fight, "Would you two stop it, One of the abilities of the Ultimate Life Form is that it can absorb all forms of energy, that includes emotions. So I don't want it to be a maniac. Well, it's time for Shadow to awake."

The fluid around me began to drain and I open my eyes to a Old man with a odd gray mustache, two blue hedgehogs, and one red echidna, but no sign of that female that I sense before. The old man step forward. "Hello, Project Shadow. I am your creator, Professor Gerald Robotnik. But only one third of your perfect complex DNA came from me, the other two came from your other two fathers. Your battle style and sensing abilities came form Locke the Echidna, the last of the echidna males on Angle Island. And your hedgehog form and your awesome speed came from Jules the Hedgehog, the fastest blue hedgehog on earth. And I do say I think Charles is your Uncle Chuck. The DNA I gave you was from your Prototype, your big brother if you would say. But I got the idea of the ultimate from an old robot like artifact I found in this very space station... Are you paying attention, Shadow?" No, I wasn't. I was looking for the female, I answered the Professor, "No, I wasn't. I was looking for the female." "Female?" ask my human creator. "She referred to her Grandfather's Project Shadows as 'Menaces and not hero material.'" Gerald Sighed, "Maria. I worried for that girl. She is the only child on this space station, ever since..." But the Professor was cut off when sirens and red lights broke out. Danger. That dormant being has awoken and the seven warm power energies I sense were gone.

Do you know what this means? Shadow, Knuckles, and Sonic are related. But more importantly, SONIC AND KNUCKLES ARE RELATED.
