Sonic was smart. Sonic was successful. Sonic was happy. That's how this soon to be sad story would begin. With Sonic, the happy, successful smart hedgehog. Of course you had to be smart to thwart Dr. Eggman. Sonic had been popular with everyone in town for his heroics but no more so than with his friends, Tails, Knuckles and especially his girlfriend, the sexy Amy Rose. He felt so lucky to have her (yes I know, usually my fanfics have him running from her but not this time). The 2 of them meet on the street corner and embrace each other, but it's not enough for Sonic, he had to kiss her beautiful lips, and he does, he puts his lips to hers and the 2 kiss for moments and moments at a time until Tails and Knuckles show up from behind.

"Hey get a room you 2!" Knuckles says with a chuckle.

"Knuckles! Do you mind? I told you 2 not to disturb when I'm with my girl here" Sonic says.

"But Sonic," Tails explains "there's...there's an emergency, Eggman is invading a genetics lab..."

"A genetics lab?"

"Yes, there are thousands of DNA samples there, if he obtained them, he could find a way to inject himself with various DNA and change his appearance, the possibilities would be endless if he obtained enough genetic information. He could copy it and make clones, evil clones!"

"Well, Amy, I guess business comes before pleasure"

"Go get him, Sonic" Amy says giving her hero a little kiss.

"Don't you worry, I'll be home in time for dinner!"

And that's when it went south, you'll see how pretty soon, just trust me it wasn't pretty.

The Tornado rode triumphantly through the skies, towards the Genetic Lab, located on the GUN pavilion, a place where Sonic wasn't exactly as popular as he was back in his hometown of Station Square.

Soon several cannons are firing on the Tornado. It's metal hull is being filled with holes as thousands of small bullets pierce it

"Hey you guys mind?" Sonic shouts "We're within our rights here"

" THAT remains to be seen, hedgehog" A GUN officer warns.

Finally the gun fire ceases but the cannons continue to follow the Tornado's path.

"What did you do to these guys anyway?" Tails asks.

"Eh, I blew up some stuff" Sonic says with a shrug, referring to his little Metal Harbour incident.

"What kind of stuff?"

"Nothing important..."

Soon the gang lands at the gentics lab. There bullets and lasers fly out of the windows, attempting to pierce them. Sonic and Tails jump out of the plane and sneak in stealthily. Wasn't gonna work, Eggman knew what direction they were going. When Sonic and Tails arrived through the back door he greeted them with firepower. Still, Sonic wasn't convinced that they were doomed just yet.

"Split up Tails, see if we can't double team him!" Sonic says smirking.

Tails flies towards the right while Sonic dashes around Eggman. Eggman fires at Sonic, shattering tons of test tubes and chemicals, spilling vats of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) all over the place. Sonic gasps as he slips on the stuff and slides into a tank. There he is submerged in genetic matter. Tails is brought down by Eggman's lasers and he escapes with some genetic samples. Sonic gets out of the tank woozily. Ouch. He looks down to see his arm had been slit badly by the glass.

"Ooh, that's a nasty bruise" Tails comments.

"Yeah, I just hope nothing got in there from the tank"

"Shouldn't be more than some formaldehyde in there"

"Ew, man, I don't want that stuff in me" Sonic protests.

Unfortunately Tails was wrong with his assumption. He may have been able to correct the error that had occured if he had thought a little more carefully. What was soon to happen to Sonic, however was foreseen by none. Sonic comes home after his battle. Eggman had technically gotten away but Sonic could stop him in the end. He sighs and flops into bed, looking at the ceiling. "Y'know" Sonic thinks, not talking to anyone but himself "I really do enjoy life, I got Amy, I got tons of friends, and I'm popular with people I don't know, I don't think anything could ruin this day.

That night, however did happen. It was a thuderous night outside, bolts of lightning split the skies as an awful development occured within Sonic. Sonic sleeps. Sleeps peacefully as his cells rearrange, as his entire being becomes something unique, something that would surprise him, and change him forever...
