Prologue the first: The Dark Side Awakes

Begin AN

Me: PALADIN101 IN GUYS! Hey guys! My first story, so there'll be no characters showing up in this AN to start out with! Yes! I don't have to deal with Shadow's chainsaw! It'll be short enough to begin with too…

Shadow: You called? (Revs his chainsaw) Oh, and me and the Sonic Team don't belong to you, we belong to Sega.

Me:0_o So, uh, yeah! Enjoy the story… GYAHH! STOP TRYING TO KILL ME! (Runs away with Shadow following, waving his chainsaw)

End AN

As the mysterious young hedgehog stepped through the door to his preschool, ready to do some reconnaissance before his first day, a separate being was watching. The shadows seemed to writhe and twist around the dark grey hedgehog, who quickly jumped from them. The hedgehog tried to run, but was tripped by his own shadow, and landed on his head, knocking him out instantly. As he tried to get up, he realized that he was being held down by the shadows. He opened his mouth to cry out for help, the shadows slid their way down his throat. As the young hedgie writhed and tried to breathe, the shadows worked their way into his body. He struggled harder as more darkness forced its way down his throat. He was in immense pain. After a few more seconds of struggling, he found he could breathe again. He quickly took advantage of that, but then realized that the shadows had gotten into his bloodstream. He was in big trouble now. After a few more seconds, the shadows had successfully infiltrated his heart, causing it to pump the shadows to his brain irregularly fast. After another thirty seconds, the young hedgehog finally relaxed a little, felling in less pain as he grew accustomed to the shadows writhing their way through his blood.

Time for phase two, then. thought the mysterious hedgehog that had been watching this whole thing happen.

Suddenly, the young hedgehog doubled over in pain, as he felt the shadows infiltrate his very soul. He almost cried out, but couldn't. After a minute or two of unbearable pain, the shadows encountered the light at the bottom of his soul. Suddenly, a dark silver light enveloped the young hedgehog, transforming him from a short-quilled Sonic lookalike into a handsome young hedgehog, with one quill that stuck down, and the rest all stuck up. His normal quills flared, and then developed a shining silver streak down each one. Pure energy bands formed on his wrists, and a silver streak ran up his arm from each. A similar thing happened to his legs and ankles. His muzzle elongated, and grew almost to the length of a fox's. It then turned a grey color. His eyes finally opened, and the mysterious older hedgehog was surprised, for for a moment, his eyes shined with the same silvery color that now ran down his back spines like a liquid. Finally, his back spines grew jagged, and his tail elongated and grew the same features as his back spines.

What happened? He should be pitch black… thought the mysterious older hedgie as the youngling took one look at himself, and fainted. As he did so, he dropped his only piece of identification.

A card that read, 'Sor the Hedgehog.'

Me: Damn it! IT MIGHT BE A WHILE 'TILL I UPDATE AGAIN I'M GOIN' ON VACATION SHADOW PLEASE DROP THE FRICKEN' CHAINSAW LATER BROS!

Shadow: And don't forget to rate and review!

Sor: Did you seriously HAVE to tell them? About my whole 'where I got my powers' thing?

Me: THE REST WILL REMAIN A SECRET UNTIL I WRITE YOUR ORIGINS STORY OH MY FREAKING GOD I'M OUT OF HERE! PALADIN101 OUT GUYS!
