[I'd just like to say that I know that darkshadow has a fic with the same name. I'm NOT trying to copy him; in fact, I came up with the plan for this fic the day before he uploaded his. Oh yeah, and I own nothing here. You can stop looking at this pointless authour's note and read now.]
PROJECT: Nightmare
Prologue
Sure, he may have sided with them, but it was only to save his own skin. Without their help, he surely would've died, and the data of Project: Shadow would've been lost forever.
But no. Fate allowed him another chance to finish his life; a chance to create life. And with the proper equipment and given time, life was created. A soul to call his own work.
No, Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik did not bear a son, but he considered his work as his offspring, and would raise it as his own child. The data and equipment that Gerald had used to create Shadow was nothing short of amazing, but that was well over 50 years ago. Technology had advanced well beyond the limits that held it back in those days. Now, a more powerful life form could be created; one that could survive space without Emerald power...
How is that possible? one may ask. You see, one thing that Ivo learned about Shadow was that he was created to harness the power of the Chaos Emeralds. This creation, would be different. He would be CREATED by harnessing the power of the Chaos Emeralds, therefore he would always have Chaos strength within him.
Now, one may want to know how Ivo managed to retrieve the Emeralds. Well, you don't think he'd go through all that work to get them for the Eclipse Cannon and then just leave them on the ARK, now would you? Of course you wouldn't. Just because he's an egghead doesn't necessarily mean he's stupid, though there are people who would beg to differ. Moving on...
At long last, after waiting nearly 6 months, the day had arrived when Ivo could awaken his creation; his menace upon the Earth. But he could not try to enslave it. No, Perfect Chaos had taught him that. He would first have to gain its trust, then teach it that he was in charge. After all, he would be just like a father to this... whatever it would be.
That's right; he didn't know what form it would take, nor could he see it. In order for the life data to develop, it would have to be enclosed in a dark area, much like a womb. He encased it in a dark capsule and allowed it to grow. Humming a light tune to himself, Ivo entered the storage chamber of his hidden lair and slowly removed the tinted casing, anxious to see the being inside. Perhaps this would help him decide a name for the creature.
A hiss of hydraulics as the casing was pulled back, and then, a whisper.
"No..."
That... thing in the capsule... it couldn't be. It just couldn't be...
"It just can't be..."
For in the capsule, was a creature that was, or at least looked exactly like...
"Shadow..."
Ivo shook his head. This can't be right... why would it look like Shadow? He wasn't the ultimate lifeform... he died in his fall to earth.
Didn't he?
A moan from inside the capsule.
(Shit. He's waking up.) Well, it was too late to kill the prototype and start over, so he might as well just try to get along with what he had. But still...
"What... happened?"
The black fur... the messy spikes... the white tuft on the chest...
"Where am I?" It looked at Ivo.
The blood red eyes... it was a perfect replica of Shadow.
"...WHO am I?!"
So perfect... it was such a... "Nightmare."

So, whad'ya think? Should I continue? Should I stop here? Should I shoot myself for even writing this? LET ME KNOW! R&R!
