Somewhere outside Station Square, early morning

Shadow awoke to strange sounds and... a burning smell?

*Sniff*

Yes, something was most definitely burning. Shadow leaped out of bed and ran downstairs, only to notice that that the project was missing, along with the Chaos Emeralds.

Shit... Did they break in while I was asleep? This can't be good. Could it have been Eggman or another one of his cronies who broke in?

*clatter*

Someone's in the Kitchen... Let's see who it is.

Shadow rushed into the kitchen and shouted, "Show yourselves!"

?: "Ahhh!"

The being Shadow saw was unlike anything he expected. He stared at the hedgehog in front of him with wide eyes and an open mouth.

"I-Impossible..."

The hedgehog seemed to be a splitting image of Shadow in form, but in color, he was quite the opposite. Where Shadow's quills were Onyx... this hedgehog had near white quills, and the red on Shadow was shown as light blue on him. The eyes were a strange teal, and Shadow noticed that the chest fur was slightly less obvious due to his fur being a similar color.

?: "Hi... Who are you?"

Shadow:*snapping back into his usual frown* "I should be asking you that... Who are you and how did you get here?"

?" "W-wait I can explain!"

Shadow: "This better be good..."

?: "Um... So the project you were working on yesterday... you hadn't noticed but the visual terminals were running.. anyway the two Chaos emeralds you left there began to glow in a strange manner, and they were hooked up to the project... As they were glowing the energy in them slowly began to drain into the project...and as time went on the emeralds became smaller and smaller... Overall, I guess you can say they fused with the project."

Shadow: "That doesn't really answer my question..."

?" "Ok... It may sound far fetched... but I'm the project you two were working on. I know you might not belei- Hey!"

Shadow picked up the young hedgehog and threw him against the wall. "You're right, I don't believe you. You expect me to believe that you were a piece of metal yesterday, and today you're a living hedgehog?"

?: "I can prove it, I can prove it!"

Shadow: "Do it then."

?: "Ok..."

Suddenly Shadow sensed a large amount of Chaos Energy from the young hedgehog. As he stepped back, the hedgehog floated into the air, and remained there for a few moments. Shadow gasped as he saw the flesh turn to metal and wires, however, the hedgehog dropped back down after a minute, holding something in his hand.

?: "Here's one of the emeralds that was on the table yesterday."

The silver emerald, in all it's glory, lay in the hedgehog's hand. Shadow felt it and sensed the flow of Chaos Energy from it, and realized that the hedgehog was speaking the truth.

?: "Ugh that hurt.. I need to reabsorb it... Now..."

Shadow watched as the emerald glowed and slowly shrunk, and as the hedgehog's body slowly became whole once again. As the last traces of the emerald vanished, the final quills grew back on the hedgehog's head. The hedgehog stretched before looking back at Shadow.

?: "Believe me now? I hope that's enough proof. I never did get your name by the way..."

Shadow" I'm Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog. You?"

?: "I don't have a name currently... Seeing as how I just came into existence."

Shadow: "We'll have to fix that. You say you were made from a Fusion of the project and the emeralds... That seems fitting. I hope Fusion is name you find to your liking."

Fusion: "Fusion... I like that. Nice to meet you, Shadow the Hedgehog."

Shadow: "Welcome to Mobius, Fusion."

Please let me know what you thought!

I'll try to update weekly, so stay tuned!
