Alright…my first story. Well I guess I should give you a heads up of the story. This takes place several minutes after the TRUEFINAL ending to Shadow the Hedgehog.

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters relating to The Sonic Team or SEGA, although I do partially own some music in the games.

Let us begin…

To benefit mankind

He turned his back to the planet he had just saved from destruction. The sun started to set around the opposite side of the Earth, flooding the space station known as ARK with complete darkness, only to be quickly dissolved with the automatic light systems switching on. It was silent all but for the sound of his shoes clicking against the metal and glass floor.

Shadow the Hedgehog, known to some as the Ultimate Life form, but recognized by all as a black hedgehog with red streaks on most of his quills, walked alone through the empty halls of machinery which were as quiet as the dead. Normally, he would have felt a sense of dread to look upon these once great pieces of technology. Now however, after regaining the memories once lost to him, he paid no heed to them.

He had now wandered very close to the center of the station, although he had not realized because he was lost in thought. When he finally looked up because he had reached a dead end, he saw before him a sight he had not expected to see. He was in a large room with glass cylinders filled with a greenish liquid lining the wall. He passed each one while viewing the inside contents closely. His eyes widened as his mind tried to grasp the name of the creatures before him, long dead due to failure of life. Since he had just obtained his full memory not more then an hour ago, it took him a few seconds to come up with the answer, "The…Biolizard?". Yes…it was true. What lay in the tanks were the first stages of what looked like the biolizard. Shadow quickly dashed over to the piles of paper lying next to the tanks.

The experiment was a total failure. Subject died 0.21 seconds after first breath. I don't understand. We have tried adrenal stimulants, steroids and even the fabled Chaos Emeralds, but we still haven't managed to create and sustain life. What are we doing wrong? How can we create the Ultimate Life Form?

Gerald has managed to create a prototype of his own. A hedgehog he is calling Shadow. The only problem is that the subject is still in a form of hibernation so he can begin growth properly, but we have no idea of the capabilities this hedgehog will have. Reports of a floating creature with dark robes and strange trinkets calling itself "Black Doom", was speaking with Gerald before the procedure. It was accompanied by a large and tall hedgehog rapped in the same material as well. This hedgehog has apparently passed several of my top researchers and they have now entered states of psychosis for ending their lives. Who, or what, was it? I along with many others have seen two strange spectacles, a comet of jet black, and a ship that was of a design we have never beheld before, possibly extraterrestrial to our own planet, but I don't want to jump to conclusions. I hope Gerald did the right thing for trusting these things.

We've done it! It's absolutely amazing! My faith in those creatures is renewed, for they have brought us amazing success. We have created a living breathing omnivore that can reproduce asexually! Its red blood cell count is 20 times the amount of any human, giving this creature, what we have named as Biolizard, amazing regeneration speeds! It can regenerate lost limbs in less than 10 seconds and can even survive without a head. We do need to keep it on a life support system however, which is powered by Chaos Drives, a gift from the visitors. But this achievement is truly astonishing! It may be of a mammoth size, but after we have found the power of the Chaos Drives it seems like nothing will stand in our way to creating the true Ultimate Life Form. Shadow is next, and the entire staff is ready to back Gerald in his tests. Surgery is planned for next week, and in which we will try to infuse the power of chaos into Shadows bloodstream.

The logs ended there, the rest were missing. Shadow took deep breaths as he left the room. "Hedgehog...There was another hedgehog on the ark besides me?" He asked himself as he entered a small room with a bed. It was the room he had used when he had helped Eggman almost destroy the world and Rouge gather the Chaos Emeralds. Rouge…he wondered how she and the others were doing. The last time he laid eyes on them was when he took off to fight Black Doom in his Super Form. Wait…what was he thinking? Why all of a sudden did the thought of them pop into his mind? He was too tired to think about it however and fell onto the bed and was soon fast asleep.

Well that's it for my first chapter. More Later.
