CHAPTER 5

PURPOSES

Shadow had traveled towards the military base throughout the night, until he had gotten there. He knew where the military was now, since he was bought there twice. He saw the hill that was near the military and walked up it, there he saw the big facility, "There it is GUN, the place known to create evil experiments such as myself. I must find the truth." He walked on into the deathtrap of his past.

Rouge ran downstairs, "Appex, Shadow is gone! I don't know where he is!"

"Calm down, I'm sure he's just..."

Rouge didn't allow him to finish, "Wait, did you say something to him the last time you went to see him?"

"He wanted to know where this girl was, the girl from his dreams."

"Girl? Dreams?" Then it had all came to Rouge, Shadow had never said anything about a girl in his dreams before not to her.

"Yeah and I told him the girl was still at the GUN base."

"What! That's where he is! We have to bring him back, so he won't get captured again." Rouge was planning to leave, but Appex held her back. "Appex, what the hell are you doing? We have to save him."

"I know that you want to, but we can't."

"Why?"

"Shadow needs to know what his purpose was to be created as the ultimate weapon. We can't stop him...not this time..."

Rouge soon began to realize his words, she just hoped Shadow would make it back in one piece.

Back at the military Shadow had made it in easy, by knocking off some heads. He was slowly walking down the hallway so he wouldn't be spotted so easily. Then he heard voices coming from the elevator he quickly took the vents in the ceiling and looked to see who was getting off from the elevator. There was only two of them and that was General Bat and the girl from Shadow's dreams. Lucky for Shadow, General Bat took a different route leaving the girl walking alone. Shadow decided to follow her through the vents.

The girl had went into her study room where she analyzed different experiments' diagrams. She wasn't in piece for long when something tore through the vents. She practically screamed by being so startled. As she looked at the person that was breaking in, it was no other than the black hedgehog.

"Savya?"

The girl's eyes glistened as she took a piece of her hair and put it behind her ear, "Hello, Shadow."

"You're the girl from my dreams, I finally found you. I have so many questions for you, so many I need answers to."

The girl kneeled down at Shadow and hugged him with tears in her eyes, "I've missed you so much, Shadow."

Shadow didn't know what she meant by that, but he decided to hug her back.

As they pulled away from each other Shadow began to ask her his questions. "Savya, I'm suffering from memory loss and I don't know how this whole Experiment 301 thing even started."

"I may have to go back to the beginning, but it is rather sad."

"I don't give a damn, I want to hear it. Tell me."

The girl sighed, "All right. It all began a year back. The military was so used to creating their own life forms, they got bored of it. They wanted to try something new and wanted to experiment on other beings instead. That's when things got out of hand. Then one day a black hedgehog came here, he was new to the city and needed directions how to get to the hotel, but General Bat had lied to him and said this was the hotel. The hedgehog believed him and trusted him. It was quite easy to mistake this place for a hotel because this place was so big. Then the military army forced the hedgehog into the experimenting room. I guess now he realized they lied to him. The hedgehog began to make a run for it, but there was too many for him to get through. General Bat tried to settle him down with a certain drug, but he had accidentally grabbed the vampire bat DNA by mistake and put that in his gun instead. Before anyone had said anything it was too late. They had analyzed his body when he was knocked out and that's when they saw he was now a vampire and hedgehog. They decided to keep the hedgehog at the military and started experimenting with him. They had to find out what blood he liked the best and how he killed for blood. Then they had realized his amazing abilities. They were so powerful they decided to give him the codename not just Experiment 301, but The Ultimate Weapon."

Shadow had stopped her, "So, I'm not created for war, I was a normal being?"

The girl nodded.

"And he made me a vampire out of sheer clumsiness?"

"Unfortunately yes, I'm sorry, Shadow. When I heard that you had broken out of the military, I knew that you would take all your anger out on the civilians of Station Square. That would bring out the monster in you."

Shadow had then laughed evilly, "I was created as a blood thirsty demon huh? I guess that means I have to kill everyone in my path. Even you."

Savya backed away from the hedgehog, but she couldn't go anywhere. He was way too powerful, she even knew that.

Shadow grabbed her neck and began choking her.

She gagged and tried to get away, but he never eased up on his grip. Her small protective knife slipped out of her pocket and fell to the floor.

The sound of the knife hitting the floor caught Shadow's attention. Shadow picked the small knife from the floor and stabbed it in the girl's forehead. Her blood ran down her face rapidly from her damaged skull. She soon died.

Shadow made an evil smirk, "My purpose in life is to kill anyone I lay my sights on." He began to lick the girl's bloody head and finished it off by taking blood from her neck.

Later Shadow was at the same nightclub where he was before. He was sweet talking to a beautiful brown young fox in the back of the nightclub the same room where he killed that man.

The fox was uncomfortable in the area, "I don't like this, I heard a man died back here not too long ago."

"The killer's probably long gone now." Shadow said as he was kissing on her neck.

She moaned a couple of times giving in.

"Your neck...so delicious and full of warm blood."

"What are you saying?" She wanted to know what he meant by that.

"You'll find out soon enough." Shadow's fangs appeared and he was breathing heavily on her neck.

The girl could feel his breath on her neck, "What are you doing?" When she looked at him she saw his drooling sharp fangs.

She screamed while Shadow held her back from running away. "You can't run away from me."

Shadow held her close to him and bit her neck hungrily for her blood.

She slowly dropped to the floor weakly dying each moment he bit deeper. Blood dripped from her neck and fell on the floor. Judging by her face, she died very painfully.

Shadow took his fangs away from her neck and dropped the lifeless girl on the floor, "No one can stop me. I am the ultimate weapon! This is who I am!"
