Mad scientist Dr. Ivo Robotnik or currently known as Eggman was at his wits end desperately wanting to destroy everything in his sight. For weeks now Eggman has been working on a new scientific project involving liquid chaos which is a new concoction he created in his labs. The liquid chaos isn't really chaos at all, no it's a bubbling red liquid and when injected into different subjects (unwilling victims he had kidnapped), blood streams there was varying results which nearly always ended up with a subject's body that couldn't react well enough towards the invading liquid which resulted in another failed trial...

'Patience is key.' Eggman often recited to himself many times when he began having doubts about this projects little amount of progress, this was one of the times after he had his robot henchmen dispose of another subject who failed his expectations. Rubbing his fingers in soothing circles over his temple to ease his headache, the project had been nothing but failures yet he continued it because the prize result would be one of his greatest scientific breakthroughs he's ever made.

The essence of the liquid chaos has key ingredients that will trigger chaos energy, though in theory once injected it would be forcefully causing a reaction in a subject who contains small amounts of chaos energy into becoming another form of themselves rich in chaos energy flowing through their entire core. Simply said, he was trying to use liquid chaos to force a person into their super-forms even if they only have little energy inside them.

The irritating thing is that every subject he's had had more than enough chaos energy needed for this project yet not a single one has survived for more than a minute or two after switching to their super-forms. His enormous bushy mustache bristled as he came up with logical reasons as to why this wasn't working. Perhaps simple mobians and humans from this world weren't enough? If he chose and switched up different humans from the 'regular world' would the results be the same or possibly differ greatly from his previous ones?

Eggman could only know after he's experimented some more, taking a deep breath the doctor stood up from his large-throne like seat before calling out for his two loyal robot henchman to him. Decoe and Bocoe, his two more favorable robots that were very sentient with their lively personalities. Decoe is a straw colored robot both tall and lean. And Bocoe is a more short stout robot of slate grey color.

"You two, get the Egg-Hovercraft ready. We'll be looking for a different set of subjects in the other world without chaos emeralds." The tall human glanced down at both robots while barking, "Well? What are you two scrap-heads waiting for? Get to it!"

"Sure thing boss!" Bocoe replied before scurrying off with Decoe following his lead.

"Sorry boss!" Decoe said as he left chasing after his companion.

Hours later found the three sitting inside the small hovering machine Eggman used most often as his primary source of transportation, it had taken a few hours but they eventually found a transporter in their world and they found themselves on the planet Earth. A dull normal planet with technology very primitive compared to Mobius's earth. This Earth has no Mobius or anthropomorphic animals living amongst them, it doesn't even hold chaos emeralds in it. But there was a very unique anomaly here, there are humans born here with chaos energy within them just as mobians are born, these humans are much more special. Who knows? He might even find the right subject who would be the key to his success.

You see...Eggman wants this project to work in his favor, should the subject change to their super-forms long enough for him to harness their chaos energy he could create a new machine using the energy and make it more powerful that not even those pathetic freedom fighters could dare stop him. That was what he was working on so hard for, but so far every trial hasn't been working long enough to keep his subjects alive so he couldn't harness the energy from them in time.

In front of Eggman was the glass that covered half of the floating machine they were in, it worked as a shield and a large see through tablet, his fingers typed in a password signing in to one of his more secret files and went to open one specific one up. The file brought up in bold red words, 'CLASSIFIED INFORMATION: KEEP OUT' which Eggman swiped away with one hand while palming a gem in his other hand. A picture of seven different colored diamond gems. The chaos emeralds to be exact.

In his right hand was a cobalt blue chaos emerald he had taken from G.U.N. not too long ago. He could feel the pulsing energy radiating from the emerald as he placed it into a capsule that levitated the emerald in one spot. The capsule was one he made just for the emeralds themselves and once one was place it would give off a signal that would beckon those with chaos energy inside of them to it luring them right into Eggman's hands. The only thing they could do now was wait until then...

. . . .

"I know you guys are worried 'bout me... But everything's alright I promise." A sigh escaped his lips which were curled up into a fond smile as he spoke on his mobile phone. His sister Sonia began to rant about how careless he's being about his current situation he just got himself in. He ran away from his foster family and he got a hold of his older sister as soon as he could and she was going crazy with worrying about him or berating him for doing something foolish like this.

But he refused to stay with that family for even a minute longer away from his own family so here he was, sitting impatiently and alone on this darkening evening at the bus stop where the bus driver seemed to be taking his time getting here.

"I still think you should have stayed with your foster family Maurice. Running away at thirteen years old, this is completely irrational of you! You know you could've waited until I got custody of you and Manic, then-"

"Sonia, I'd have to wait with that foster family for six years!" Maurice exclaimed as he interrupted her mid-sentence, "Besides, why are you ragging on me? Manic's the one who left his family first-"

"And I told him off too! But he has more street knowledge than the two of us combined so he knows what he's doing at least... Manic's already here with me while you on the other hand are three cities away living off the streets and oh my lord just thinking about this worries me so much I still can't believe you Maurice. You've done irresponsible things before that-" Maurice immediately tuned her out letting out a gasp when he felt 'it' called out to him. This feeling, an urge to find something hit his senses to the point where he couldn't ignore it anymore.

The young teen dropped his hand holding his phone limp to his side, his emerald eyes looking glazed over like tired mind-controlled zombie. Any words or rants his sister was making to his sudden silence fell on his deaf ears. Maurice felt like he was lost in a pleasant fuzzy haze where he wasn't in control of himself, instead he gradually brought back to the real world by a hand being waved right in front of his face. In front of him stood a middle aged woman, she crouched down a little to meet his gaze with slight concern pinching her brows together.

"You okay there kid? I don't mean to pry but that girl on your phone has been yelling at you and you're just staring off into space mumbling something." The woman explained sheepishly, mentally he noted that she was the only other woman waiting at this bus stop while the teen nodded quickly to her as he gave her a fast 'thanks'. Maurice felt his face reddened with embarrassment as he held up his phone back to his ear so he can clearly hear Sonia's loud angry voice, he grinned when he expected to get scolded by her but her voice dropped low...there was sadness mixed in which confused him.

"I know you think this is funny Maurice, but this is a very serious issue. They'll be looking for you and you know it's hard enough for us trying to get work at this age...I..." Sonia sighed heavily. "Manic and I are both so worried about you, it's scary knowing our baby brother is out there by himself." Maurice felt his grin falter before fading away with a solemn expression replacing it. It wasn't often when his sister got sorrowful like this, normally she held her head up high coming up with plans on how to move forward left and right but now she sounded kind of lost.

"I'm sorry sis, I know this is stupid but I hate being separated from my family. My real family like this. I saved up enough money to take a chain of buses to you guys..." He finished off awkwardly waiting for her reply having felt guilty for making his sister get worked up like this. He wasn't too surprised to hear his brother start speaking to him on his phone.

"Hey lil bro, Sonia handed me the phone, she needs a minute to herself and until then you get to hear my lovely voice. I'm going to give you some advice 'kay?" Manic, his brother told him. Maurice had to stop himself from nodding.

"Yeah...okay."

"If you're going to be traveling by bus then you should keep all your stuff with you at all times. Try and sit alone, don't talk to anybody but if you need money or food, you know how to use that cute face of yours to your advantage." This made Maurice roll his eyes, of course Manic would say that. "Keep an eye out for everybody around ya and just keep a low profile. But most of all, be safe."

Maurice could hear the heavy bus slowly drive up to the bus stop, smog coming from the back of it as the bus hummed loudly. His eyes flickered to the woman from earlier who was already taking her first steps onto the bus chatting idly with the bus driver.

The youngest of the three separated siblings picked up his duffel bag ready to walk forward to get on the bus when 'it' happened again. His eyes fluttered half-lidded and he tilted his head when he heard a gentle voice calling out to him.

"Come..."

Inside his head Maurice didn't realize that he wasn't in control of himself anymore. The only thing he did know was that he needed to follow the voice...nothing else mattered except that. Little did he know, that the chaos emerald Eggman had used was calling him into a trap. One that would forever change who he is, to completely alter his reality and the way he saw the world.

. . .

My name is Maurice...or it was... And I live in Mobius with my friends who I consider to be my family.

Mobius is a universe, a reality in which animals evolved whilst humans did not at all. Animals became anthropomorphic, learning the habits of humans they changed. Humans in Mobius are a small ratio compared to their anthropomorphic companions in this world.

Today I live on this world but I was not born here. No. I was born on a different Earth as a human and I lived by myself at the time searching for my brother and sister until I was lured by an unknown source at the time then brought here. When I was taken here I was the lab rat to a scientist who used me and...he changed me. I was thirteen when this happened...

Now today...My name is Sonic...Sonic the hedgehog and I'm the fastest thing alive. I'm considered to be a hero to the Mobians, praised for defeating Eggman time after time saving them from other evils too. I'm celebrating my seventeenth birthday with all of my friends I've made along the way here. The thing is, I haven't told anybody the truth about the real me. I can't bring myself to even explain how much they don't know about me.

This is my story...

I based this off of Delirious's discontinued story ' PROJECT: SONIC' but obviously it differs greatly from her story. I wrote this instead of starting my seven paragraph English essay because honestly school has been painfully stressful and writing is one of my favorite ways to relax.

I don't own Sonic which makes me really sad.

Had a interesting time writing Eggman. It was certainly new for me.

So I'll be updating all my stories after Thanksgiving, I'm upset I didn't get to update the other stories yet but I'm really really excited to hear any readers' feedback on this new story.

So please leave a review of your thoughts on what's going to happen next, or any other comments or concerns you may have with this story. I hope you enjoyed reading this, I wish all of you happy holidays, and don't be as stressed as me right now... :D
