Chapter 2
The giant space station known as Ark floated silently in orbit around Earth. Deep within the strange dark room that released Eclipse, another green tube lifted off the ground. A pair of bright, yellow eyes flashed open.
Out of the darkness of the capsule walked a female, light yellow hedgehog. She was wearing a red tank top, solid black tight jeans, and long black boots. Her shirt was short so her stomach was showing. Around her hands were white, fingerless gloves. Above them were golden bracelets.
Her quills were like Knuckles' except they were looser and hung over her shoulders.
The unnamed hedgehog walked out of the dark room and into the main observatory with the giant window over looking Earth. She glanced around the old abandoned hallways as she continued to the room.
The female stopped in front of the giant glass and looked out towards Earth.
FLASH BACK
A curious female hedgehog stood in front of the giant window over looking Earth. Beside her were a black and red hedgehog and a little blonde girl.
The young girl looked over at the human.
"Isn't it beautiful Maria?"
The human nodded
"Don't you agree Shadow?" the hedgehog asked her brother.
"Yes it is, perhaps we will visit some day."
The eyes of the young hedgehog light up.
"That would be great."
Maria looked over at Shadow.
"Shadow, I know you want to visit Earth, I do too. But you know my grandfather. His research is top secret and it can't risk getting exposed."
Shadow lowered his head a little.
At that point Doctor Gerald walked in the room. He was followed by a black floating creature.
Gerald spoke up.
"Shadow, please come here."
Shadow obeyed and walked towards the two with the female's eyes locked on him.
The black creature revealed itself. Black Doom spoke in his hellish voice.
"So this is Shadow. The all powerful ultimate life form."
Shadow looked over at the alien.
"Who are you?"
"Why Shadow, I am your father."
Maria's, the young hedgehog's, and Shadow's eyes all widened.
"What?" the dark hedgehog asked.
"You were created from my blood Shadow. You are my son and I am your father."
Shadow turned to Gerald.
"Is this true?"
Gerald nodded and spoke.
"As you can see, Shadow is obviously fit for your task.
"What task?"
Black Doom spoke up.
"Shadow, fifty years to this day, I will return to this planet. When I do, I will expect the seven Chaos Emeralds. Am I clear?"
The confused Shadow nodded.
"Good, but for now, farewell my son."
Black Doom disappeared in a black flash of light. Gerald left the room to run some more tests. Shadow walked back to the girls.
The girl hedgehog spoke to him.
"What was that all about?"
Without turning towards her he answered.
"I don't know.
END FLASH BACK
The yellow hedgehog closed her eyes for a second before they shot open. In a flash of yellow light, the hedgehog had disappeared and in her place was a small yellow orb. The orb flew straight through the window like it was made of air and headed towards Earth.
Upon arriving on land, the orb turned back to it's former female form. The hedgehog looked around for a minute.
She was on a giant floating island.
