Story:

Chapter 1:

Professor Gerald was positively bursting with excitement. "Hurry hurry hurry!" The other scientist were smirking, amused at the almost childish excitement the chief scientist was showing as they moved a box of seven chaos emeralds towards a machine that was linked up to a capsule. After setting the seven emeralds into their slots they turned to him, trembling with excitement, he added Black Doom's D.N.A. and pulled the lever.

After a bit of flashing and some instances were the Professor's heart almost stopped because of some flashed and dangerous sounding noises from the machine, the black and red figure inside the capsule, had their vitals read as normal. Professor Gerald felt so happy he almost couldn't breath. "Did it work Grandfather?" Asked a blonde girl in a blue dress with a sweet look named Maria. "Yes! It worked." "Grandfather calm down or the doctors will have to be checking you not me!" "Yes, yes, you're right. OPEN THE CAPSULE!" He screamed at some young men, Maria giggled as they jumped, "Granpa, you aren't listening to me." "Hurry hurry hurry!" His voice became a babble, Maria shook her head in amusement. The capsule was starting to open with a great hiss of steam. Everyone hurried forward, and a black hedgehog with red stripes fell out, in addition to the red stripes, he had a tuft of chest fur. "A hedgehog! A hedgehog! A hedgehog!" Gerald marched (or more accurately, jumped around with a sort of dignity) as Maria knelt by the hedgehog, "Grandfather, do you have gloves or something for him?" Gerald stopped prancing, "Gloves? Shoes? QUICK! GET THE..." Maria tuned out the rest of what he said and gave her attention to the hedgehog, "My name is Maria, can you say that?" He looked up at her with red eyes that had a hidden ring of orange inside the red, after thinking for a minute (Maria refused to label the look on his face as processing as if he was a mindless robot). He blinked, a look that obviously said, "Can you please repeat that?" So she did, "My name is Maria, try and say it?" After what looked like a struggle he copied how she'd mouthed her name then said, "Maria." She smiled, "Good for you." Then Gerald came up, "Maria! Seeing as it is your birthday I wanted to know if you wanted to name Project: Perfection and Eternal life." "Grandfather, why do you always give your projects such long names? Of course I would love to names? But yes, I would love to name him." "Him? How do you know that it's a him?" "Look, if it wasn't a him, he would need a shirt now wouldn't he?" "I suppose you are right, so what are you going to name him?" She looked at him for awhile and saw he was mouthing what they had said and was quietly repeating it. "You're going to give me a name? Like yours is Maria?" She smiled, "Yes, how about we name him... Shadow, Shadow the Hedgehog." Shadow looked up at her, "Shadow... the... hedgehog?" "Well you're a hedgehog, and I think Shadow is a good name for you." He then demonstrated that he hadn't only been listening to their conversation, as well as the fact he was a quick learner. "Okay, if you think it sounds good, it must be."
