Author note: I just got the inspiration while doing gen8hedgehog's Male Furry Dollmaker, and I was just creating, and then I got this fabulous idea! Hope you like it!

Chapter 1: Escape

A light blue creature, an oval with arms and legs, with two locks of brown hair vaulted over a chain link fence, security alarms blaring behind him, red lights flashing. Dark, forest green eyes quickly flicked back and forth, scouting the way and checking for pursuit.

He saw lights, like a million little stars, ahead of him, quickly looking behind to see if he was far enough ahead to be able to hide in the... city, the word popped into his head from nowhere, but he concluded he was far enough ahead to be able to blend in with the crowd.

He quickly dodged around a hedgehog, black as night with red highlights, quickly taking in the look, and the oval shape was replaced with that of the hedgehog, but with no highlights, the black hedgehog hadn't noticed, maybe he had been asleep...? But the new shape wasn't enough, they would recognize him still, so as he darted past clothes shops an internal camera behind his eyes took snapshots of all the clothes in the store, and after a whirl of some dark energy disappeared from around his body he had a pair of goggle like glasses on his head, a grey belt with some explosives and powders hidden in it, a baggy dark green sweater, black leather fingerless gloves, plain medium blue jeans, and light blue boots with a white stripe and two black straps across the stripe.

He darted into an alley, and watched as his pursuers went straight past, he touched his newly acquired chest fur and ran his fingers across his head spikes, then down the rest of his body. "I'm a hedgehog." He said to himself, a little surprised.

Then he realized he needed a name, well... he did have one, but, he needed a name with LETTERS in it, not numbers, if he stuck to the one he'd been given he would be known as Pjct: 001. Pjct, he was pretty sure, stood for project, it wouldn't do at all if he was found, they would just take him back.

"I will be... Zero." He decided. And some wind whistled by him as he flattened his ears and leaned against the wall to get his first real sleep in four months, as if trying to tell him he wasn't the only project free in the world. He had already met the other without knowing.

Author note: My god, I really hope that did not sound really really crappy. Forgive me if it did. PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
