Hey! This is my 4th story on this site! Yay me! I hope you enjoy my story!

Don't be a stranger and check out my profile! You know you want to!

Disclaimer: I do not own Eggman, Sonic, or Tails. The characters of Elise, James, Mark, and Ben are based off of various pictures I found online, so I guess I own them. Just not the pics that inspired them.

You Don't Know Him

You guys don't know him. You all think he's the bad guy, the cruelest person in the world. He could never be loved. That he doesn't have a single grain of love in his heart. That's what everyone thinks.

But I know him better than all of you do. Before he became the villain you know him as now, he could love. He had a wife, but the Mobians killed her just for fun. I was three when that happened. My brother's were five, seven, and nine. Eggman took us away from the population of Mobians and raised us in various places. In underwater lairs, lairs that flew in the sky, and even in space. Now I am 12. James is 14, Ben is 16, and Mark is 18. We are the next heirs to the Eggland rule. For Dr. Eggman, as you all like to call him, is my father. And he is the best father you could ever have. I love –

"Hey, Elise! Come here and see what Dad found in Grandpa's old diary!" Mark called from downstairs. I tossed my diary under my bed and ran through this month's base to the lab. Father had a book in his hand that he was staring at wide-eyed.

"What is it, Dad?" I asked. He handed it to me, eyes still wide. I took it and began to read it aloud.

"Today I have done it! I have created the Ultimate Lifeform! Although I had to make an alliance with those blood-thirsty Black Arms, I have made him! He is perfect; just the way I wanted him to be! He is immortal and flawless, not being able to catch any type of disease! Project Shadow is complete! What does this mean, Father?" I asked.

"No, no! Keep reading!" James said, jumping up and down in excitement. Sometimes I'm surprised he's not 10.

"Okay…If he is ever awakened, then he shall grant those who wake him a single wish. Like a genie, except he shall obey you for life! Dad, you aren't thinking…"

"If we find this Project Shadow then we will have a living weapon and then we will be able to defeat Sonic and his annoying friends!" Dad exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air. I shuddered. Just then, the ship shuddered. Was that…

"Quick! Hide! I'll deal with Sonic!" Dr. Eggman exclaimed, herding us out the lab.

"But Dad! We want to fight him, too! You've trained us to fight him just for nothing!" Ben complained.

"No! I don't want you to get hurt!" he said. Then he shoved us out and closed the door. So we ran into the 'Panic Room.' Really, it was an escape pod so if the base blew up we would get out safely. Soon I heard a voice, and then two. I looked out the window and gasped.

"What is it?" Ben asked.

"It's Sonic!" I whispered. We all looked out the small porthole and saw Sonic and Tails creeping through the base. They were looking side to side.

"Sonic, I'm scared!" Tails whispered.

"We'll be fine! As soon as I see Eggman, he's gonna pay for robotizing my parents!" Sonic growled. I gasped loudly, and they both turned their heads towards us. Their eyes widened.

"That's low." Sonic said "Kidnapping kids is low."

"He kidnaps Cream and Amy all the time." Tails stated.

"And that's low, too! Let's get them out of here!" Sonic ran to the door, and we moved back in alarm. "Don't worry, we won't hurt you! We're gonna help you!"

"Dad say's your evil!" James yelled, drawing back.

"Whoa! Eggman's your dad?" Sonic asked in disbelief.

"Yeah! You Mobians killed our mother!" I said, feeling angry.

"Uh…we did?"

"It was a while ago, but you did!"

"Well, I'm sorry. But I promise you that Eggman's the evil one! Do you want to come with us, or stay with him?" Tails asked.

"No, I've got a better idea! Do you think you could give us any information on your Dad every once in a while?" Sonic asked "Please?"

"Should we?" I asked Mark.

"Fine; it's a deal. But all I can tell you now is this; Project Shadow." Mark said.

"Project Shadow…got it. Thanks, dude!" Sonic said "In return, we're leaving now!" and then the two Mobians ran off towards the exit.

A few minutes later Dr. Eggman came and opened the door. 'Apparently' all was safe and the alarm system just went haywire, making it go off for 'no reason.'

I still don't own Sonic, Tails, or Eggman. I do own Eggman's kids, but not four various pictures I found online.
