Chapter 2
He awakens to the sound of screaming and the lights dimming again. The pounding of his head isn't helping the fact that he is incarcerated in a small 6/10 cell. He walks over to the sink and turns on the water.
"I see you're finally awake," someone next door says.
The voice seems to come from the vent on the left side of the cell. As he looks through he sees a partially familiar face, a hedgehog face.
"Sonic? What are you in here for?" the guy asks.
The hedgehog on the other side of the vent laughs, a cruel chuckling sound and bangs his hand on the grate.
"Lemme guess...You're not Sonic," he says blandly.
"Nope. I see you've met my friend."
"Who are you then?"
"Shadow."
"Okay then, Shadow. Where in the name of Zeus's butt-hole are we?"
"G.U.N. international mutant detention center. We're all here because we seem to pose a threat to the planet."
"You don't look so dangerous."
Shadow barks out a laugh and says," I may not look like it but I can run up to Mach-2, not to mention, I have training in all kinds of armed and unarmed combat. I'm in fact, I believe I am a, no the ultimate killing machine."
"Then how'd you get caught then?"
"They plucked me out of the ocean, I was too weak to fight at the time. Besides, I've been pardoned on most of the major offenses, I'll be off scot- free in ten years."
"Isn't that a long while?"
"To humans, yes. But to me...I suppose I should start at the beginning."
For the next hour Shadow told the guy next to his cell about everything that had happened to him after he signed up for Project: Shadow; the ultimate life-form, when he undertook a mission of revenge for his friend Maria, and what he had done since coming to the detention center. When Shadow finished his story the man next-door stood with him in silence.
"So why are you here?" Shadow asked.
"I came from another world. Like you, I longed for vengeance for a lost friend and partner, I wandered my world causing mayhem, destruction, and chaos wherever I went until I lost my mind and set loose an evil that could have killed us all. I have since been forgiven by many of my victims, but that would be my downfall, you see one of my victims got a new partner who had the power to send me forcefully into other worlds. He used it on me and scrambled my mind and my data. I can barely make sense of some of my memories anymore."
"Who are you?"
"Rob Herald, but you can call me Delmon."
"I understand all of that, but why are you in here with me? Other than being a mutant of course."
"I have the ability to transform into a monster with exceptional powers. When I came here I was confused and did some collateral damage to a small city and killed a few people. Perhaps I too should start from the beginning..."
