His eyes flittered around the room as he awoke from his slumber, the same never changing surroundings, the computer console, the big video screen, and the bookcase in the corner. A man entered the room from the sliding doors. The man, stroking his moustache noticed the hedgehog was awake walked over to the tube, his prison. The man know as master to him but Robotnik to others, tapped lightly on the glass, creating bubbles in the transparent green fluid

"Ragolfin, time for you to see the sun" the man pressed a button and the liquid slowly drained from the tube. Ragolfin's bare feet touched the floor gently as the last of the fluid sank into the vent. Ragolfin pulled the drip out of his hand and cringed as the air stung the wound. An opening appeared in the tube and lights bounced of the metal floor into the tube.

"Come" said the man. Ragolfin pressed his hand against the cold surface, the liquid dripping of him. He put his foot forward and walked out of the tube for the first time. As his foot touched the floor, he shivered from the cold atmosphere. The man flung some clothes at Ragolfin's naked body. He pulled the jeans on, they fitted his posture tightly, and he tugged the checked shirt onto his back leaving the buttons undone revealing the wet tuft of fur on his chest.

"I need you to do something for me, as I am your creator"

"I have been in that tube 10 years, and if you created me, why didn't you free me earlier!" Shouted Ragolfin

"You are mine, I can do with thou what I wish" replied the man

Ragolfin growled as some blood dripped to the floor. He looked where it came from. That's when he noticed from the top of the gauntlet on his left hand, blades where digging into his flesh. He had never felt anything before. The gauntlet started pulsating charged by the chaos emerald shards embedded into it. Ragolfin had a thought.

"I am not!" Madly he swung out with his left hand, the gauntlet catching the mans chin, the power of the shards sent him flying back into the computer screen, electric surging through his body, three words flashed upon it. Those words.

PROJECT RAGE ACTIVATED

Ragolfin turned his back on the man and walked into the next room, a single chrome table decorating it. A single centrepiece rested on the table, he recognised it straight away. It was the jet boots the man tinkered with often enough. Smirking he pulled them on and they fit as if they where made for him. Standing back up, he noticed where the boots were, was some claws, with a metal plates and screws attached.

He picked up the claws and screwed the metal plate to his gauntlet.

"No doubts Ill have to use these," thought Ragolfin looking at them. He walked into the next room, which seemed to be some sort of lounge and reception. Big triple plated doors guarded the entrance to the lab. Ragolfin walked up to the doors, and pressed the button. The doors slid open and natural light entered the musty room. Ragolfin stepped into the light, it highlighting his features. A beam of light ricocheted of his gauntlet into his emerald eyes. He stepped out of the metal fortress into the mountainous area. He gasped as he saw how beautiful it was.
