Chapter 3
"Remind me why we're doing this again, general?" Sans heard a corporal say. "We've been climbing for hours."
Sans turned around to look at the corporal. "We must retrieve the mother gene for Project Kaos," He said, annoyed.
"I understand that," The corporal responded. "But why did we have to bring all of them?" The general turns to all of the privates struggling to climb the mountain.
"It makes it easier to carry supplies," The general replied. "And to help with trouble." The group continued to climb the mountain, soon reaching the top. Once the entire squadron was on the top of the mountain, Sans gave them a quick briefing. "Okay, does anyone remember why we're here?" Only a few murmurs spread, and then shrugs.
Sans takes a deep breath. "Do any of you remember the briefing we had before we came here?" More shrugs. "...We are supposed to get the mother gene for Project Kaos!"
"We're aware of that," one of the grunts said. "But the storage room isn't there."
"What are you-" The General starts. The grunt points, stopping Sans mid-sentence. He turns, and sees the building in ruins. The only thing clearly visible was one of the old generations of Harvesters. "Wait here." He climbs up the rest of the mountain, and meets the Harvester.
"Target acquired. Beginning program ," The robot says. After a few seconds, the robot lifts his head. "Greetings, General."
"What happened here?" Sans asked, looking around. "It's like a wasteland over here."
"Recently, before the reboot of Project Kaos, we acquired one of the Master Emerald Shards, which we used as a power source," The Harvester began. "Unfortunately, Knuckles the Enchida attacked the storage facility, destroying the facility and taking back the Emerald Shard."
Sans cursed under his breath. "I was so close…"
"However…" Sans picked his head back up. "We managed to salvage the mother gene before the facility fell. It is being shipped to B.O.G.E as we speak."
"Perfect!" Sans says happily. "And here I was, thinking we would have to end the project here."
"My programming is complete," the robot said. But Sans knew it wasn't the robot talking. "This unit will self destruct in five minutes." Sans walks back down the mountain, mixed feelings of happy and sad flowing through him. When he reached the group, he explained the dilemma, then they all left for home.
Just as the robot said, the mother gene arrived five minutes prior to his return. Now that he had both genes, he could finally complete what he started years ago. With everyone in the Creation Room, he could finally unveil his perfect creation.
"Ladies and gentlemen," He said. "Welcome to a new beginning." Everyone cheered. Well, everyone except the other mutant. "As I speak, the project is taking its final steps before its completion. Soon, we will have the true ultimate life form!" Everyone cheered again, and the mutants didn't cheer again.
"Sir," one technician said. "The Materializer is ready." They walked to the area where the Materializer was. The glow of the green tube never got old to look at. It was where the information from computers were uploaded, and then combined to create a whole new person.
"I hope this one flops like the one two weeks ago…" Sans heard one mutant whisper. He clearly remembered the explosion that occurred trying to make a perfect Shadow. At least the copy of Knuckles came out in one piece. Sans snapped his fingers, and everyone in the area of the Materializer.
Various voices filled the room. "Materializer power levels at fifty percent! I need help plugging in the Mega Drive! Someone fill in the extra details we missed!" It made him happy. It wasn't every day that a lifelong dream was about to be completed in a matter of seconds. "Power levels at one-hundred percent! Begin Materialization, sir?" He node, and the machine started to fill with water.
After the machine was brimming with water, the various files sent in flashed briefly on the TV screen. Most consisted of the physical appearance and structure, personality, and color choice. Apparently, yellow fur with blue eyes was popular in the office. "File assessment completed." The machine reported. "You want a yellow hedgehog with blue eyes and a personality that everyone enjoys. Is this correct?"
"Yes." Sans told the computer. After a few short seconds, the machine responded.
"To continue Materialization, please insert the two common genes in their slots." Sans snapped his fingers, and four workers carried the two genes into their slots. The Materializer quickly scans the genes. Images flash on the screen. "Gene analysts complete. Beginning Materialization…"
The gears started to whirl, and the machine activated. First, the beams went to the bottom of the tank. Next, they turned on, and slowly moved up the tank. With the beams flinging around the place, Kaos started to form. After two minutes, the beams turned off, and Kaos opened his eyes. San's heart leapt. Kaos the Hedgehog was born.
FINALLY! I was wondering when I would finish this chapter. Just a quick note: Starting from Chapter 4 onward, the story is going to be told from Kaos's point of view. I've stuck with Sans for a good bit. Stay tuned!
Edit: For those of you who attempted to read this chapter when I posted it, so sorry! I tried uploading the chapter on another computer, but I got a bunch of garbled crap that you saw. I managed to fix it though!
