CHAPTER I- "Creation"

"Yes. He is complete. I'll let you rest for tonight, and tomorrow I will awaken you, my friend."

A man peered into a large clear capsule filled with green fluids. Several cables were connected to a three to four foot lifeform floating inside. It is hard to see the figure from the poorly lit room. The man adjusted his glasses and typed on a computer:

======

November 20, 3:02 AM

"I have been spending countless hours on my creation. He seems to be developing quite well. His heart is beating nicely and lungs appear to be functioning quite well. If all goes well he should be able to awake tomorrow night."

======

The man saved his document onto a disk and ejected the disk from the computer. He slipped it into a case, and then placed it into a file cabinet that was located in a corner of the wall. The man walked outside of the laboratory and closed the door behind himself. On the door was written "Dr. Kintobar"

"Grandpa!"

The man turned to see a young girl of about the age of 12 come up. "My sweet Maria…why are you not in bed?"

The girl laughed and shrugged. "I heard you in there working so I came to ask you the same thing!"

The two laughed and walked into their respective rooms. It was way past their bed times of course.

======

November 20, 9:07AM

"I have checked up on my project. He is not yet ready to be awaken. I'd say he needs another week."

======

One week later…

A capsule full of green fluid quickly drained. Several cables connected to what was revealed as a black hedgehog loosened themselves. The capsule's glass raised itself and the black hedgehog stood up. His spikes were abnormally high, several red streaks were about his body and spikes. He slowly opened his eyes as he lifted up to reveal his white fur on his neck and chest. He opened his eyes completely and looked at Dr. Kintobar.

"Who…Who are you?"

Dr. Kintobar extended his hand out and offered a handshake. The black hedgehog accepted his shake and blinked.

"You are Shadow the Hedgehog, a very potential possessing life form."
