hello hello I know its been a while I'm sorry about that but I am here now so let's keep the story going shall we?

"So you wanna explain why you turned Chris into a hedgehog and then save him Shadow?" asked Knuckles who was sitting across the ship from him and an unconscious twelve year old.

"First off echidna I didn't turn him into a hedgehog he was born that way, and second what's it to you who I save when here you are saving the bat from the near death experience," Shadow replied causing Knuckles to blush a little.

"Still why exactly is he a hedgehog now when last time we saw him he was a human twelve year old boy? and why do you suddenly decide you want to switch sides?" Sonic asked

"I'll explain when we return to Earth,"was his only reply.

The rest of the trip remained silent minus the few grunts coming from Chris as he returned to his human state stunning everyone around him without realising it. Sam was there waiting for them when they returned and he wasn't surprised to see Shadow with them carrying his nephew, which left the others very confused and suspicious.

"Sam, Shadow says you have some interesting information for us so what's up?" Sonic asked as the others went into the house to relax after their adventure.

"I'll explain after we really need to wait for Chris to hear this to," he replied as he picked the boy up from Shadows arms and carried him to his room putting his fears at rest knowing that the child was safe and alive in his arms.

Later...

Chris woke up with a pounding headache and sat up surprised to see that he was home in his bed, no explosions, no space, even weirder was that there was no Shadow to be found anywhere. He quickly got up and went down to Sam's office to find he was there not alone, with him were both Sonic and Shadow the hedgehog.

"What's going on guys?" he asked seeing the looks on their faces, anxious, confused, and fear.

"Chris sit down there's something you need to know, you to," he said referring to Shadow and then sighed before pulling out a medical file with the boy's name on it.

"Kid when your parents first tried to have kids they failed miserably, every single time, quite frankly it broke your mother's heart to pieces when she found out it was her husband, so her doctor asked her if she wanted to try a new procedure that involved the uh...soldiers of another species to see if it would combine properly it was for both scientific and your mother's sake. So they tried it, it was a complete success and here you are sitting before us. The sample that was used for the experiment was from an abandoned assignment known as Project Shadow. That's all there is to it, really he's your biological father and a DNA test will prove it but it would kind of be a waste of time," Sam explained watching the horrified look on his nephew's face and the shocked one on Sonic's.

"You have got to be kidding me right I mean if this was true I'd be followed around all day there's no way the government would just let me go like that right I mean-"

"Your teacher has been watching over you since you started school, the government wanted to see how normally you would develop and so far nothing unusual has happened,"Sam said stopping him in mid sentence.

"Says you in case they forgot to tell you the boy is half hedgehog, thus he has a tendency to become a hedgehog emotional permitted of course however," Shadow explained not once looking at his long lost son while Sonic couldn't seem to take his eyes off his shocked friend.

"H-How is this possible were not even from the same dimension?" Chris asked.

"Eggman's grandfather must of known how to use Chaos control to travel through the dimensions which would explain why Eggman found me here in the first place,"Shadow explained reading the documents in his hands.

Chris at this point couldn't here anymore it was all to much to take in at once, the man that tortured him his entire life never had the right to do it in the first place because he didn't even help create him in the first place, and Shadow well Shadow was just fucked there's no way they were related they were to different.

While all these thoughts ran through the boy's head the other parties in the room noticed the boy's body change in silver and red before he flew out of the room not even knowing where he was going all he knew was that he needed to run away and think. He didn't notice however that two other hedgehogs followed him, one to talk to the boy and the other to make sure the other didn't say something stupid to the boy.

Shadow walked over to the boy who sat on the edge of he cliff thinking ad letting all the information sink into his head so he understand why all this was happening to him and why it was his life that had to be so strange.

"That was quite the exit you made kid, I wish I could run that fast every time I was faced with a problem," Shadow said sitting beside him starring into nothingness.

"What's it to you?" was all Chris said looking identical to Shadow in his hedgehog form," your not the one who has to explain to his girlfriend that his mom pulled off a bestiality stunt cause she was desperate for kids."

"That may be true but trust me I wasn't really expecting to kidnap my own half human son when he left Prison Island all i cared about was that I could use you as bait," was Shadow's reply.

"gee thanks," the pre teen said looking over at the black hedgehog earning him a chuckle and Shadow ruffling his hair.

"So what happens now? We make up for old times or some stupid shit like that?" Chris asked hoping that maybe he could make some sense out of this for the better.

"one step at a time kid that's all we can do," he replied.
