Chapter 1: Lies Unshrouded
Inside of a large military like compound up in a snowy mountain laid an umbreon on a steel bunk bed. This umbreon's name was Shade, and his life was about to get very, very, difficult. When Shade was two years old his parents were killed, he was found on the street two days later and was rescued by some scientist. To his surprise, he was brought up to a military research compound and lived there for quite some time. He is fifteen years old now. As an umbreon he had black fur, gold rings, and blood red eyes, but what distinguished him from others was the silver fur at the tip of his tail. He was five foot four, standard build and wore a black zip up hoodie, with jeans and grey sneakers. He groaned as he rolled onto his side. "I'm soooo bored!" he yelled out to no one in particular. Just then, the automatic steel door opened into the concrete room. A lucario in a lab coat walked in. This lucario was the scientist that rescued Shade. "Are you ready?" The lucario asked in a firm tone of voice. "Yeah, let's do it." Shade responded sitting up on his bed. He got up and exited the room with the lucario, walking down dark concrete halls.
After about a minute of walking, they arrived at another steel door. The lucario opened the door using a key card and stepped into the room. Shade followed closely behind. Shade looked ahead to something that worried him, a stone table with leather restraints. Three days ago Shade agreed to be a part of a military super solider program. "You know…" the lucario started. "You don't have to do this if you don't want to." Shade stood still for a moment. "No." He responded firmly. "I want to do this." The lucario looked at him for a second, and then looked away. He sighed. "Fine, just follow every step down to the last detail." "I promise." "Ahhh… good. The subject is here." A six foot two jolteon walked over to them. "Yes, I'm here." Shade replied hesitantly. The jolteon was the leader of this small military faction, his name was Jolt, and his appearance always intimidated Shade. He wore a lab coat similar to the lucario's, which meant he would personally be viewing this experiment. "I hope you know Shade, that I wouldn't have had any other person do this." Jolt explained as he rested a hand on Shade's shoulder. "T-Thank you sir." Shade said, with fear in his voice. "Sir!" An infernape in a lab coat walked up behind him. "We're ready." He stated with confidence. "Good, Good." Jolt said before turning to Shade. Now Shade, Jump onto the table and we'll begin. Just remember, it'll hurt a bit." Shade nodded and walked over to the stone table and laid down on it. Some scientists came and strapped him in. and then walked over to a console against the wall. "Ready Shade?" the lucario asked. Shade nodded once more and closed his eyes. He heard a click, and then heard some zaps. The pain shade felt next was unbearable. His entire body shook in the pain that coursed through his body. He let out an ear piercing shriek, as tears ran down his face. He wasn't expecting this. After a minute of unbearable pain, Shade blacked out, letting the darkness consume him.
