Chapter one: To control the Ultimate…
G.U.N. HQ: three weeks after attack on the ARK, roughly fifty years before the events of Sonic Adventure 2.
"I don't think we should have kept him alive sir, I mean he is too big of threat." An officer told the G.U.N. commander, "What do you plan to do with him anyway?"
The commander looked at his subordinate and smiled, "He was not only designed as the Ultimate Life form, but also as an ultimate weapon, one we can use to our advantage."
"But sir he will not obey any of our commands, not after what happened to Maria."
"What happened to her was an accident damn it!"
"I know that sir, but Shadow doesn't and as long as he hates us for killing her, even though it was an accident, and as long as he is angry at us he won't work with us."
The commander shook his head, "We needed her alive, with her dead we have no way to keep him under control. If we let him loose, there is no telling what would happen."
"There might be a way, although the chances that it would work are quite slim."
The commander quickly looked at his subordinate, "You mean there might be a way to control him without Maria? How would you do it? Maria was the only one who formed a strong enough bond with him to be able to calm him down."
"Well we would need a female to control him, preferably one who would remind him of Maria. We would fuse the subject with some of Shadows DNA, about five percent of it, and that would not only form a, bond of sorts with Shadow, but would give her the same powers. Besides even if she can't control him, we would still have an Ultimate Life Form on our side."
The commander looked dubious, "You mean to create another Shadow? Wouldn't that only work if the subject was a hedgehog?"
"No sir nothing like that, she would still keep her memories, personality and emotions, but with some of Shadows appearance and all of his powers. And yes, it would only work if the subject was a hedgehog."
"What do you mean reminded of Maria? Do you mean in terms of appearance, actions, personality, what?"
"The last two mainly, only because it's not as if we can find a hedgehog that looks like a human right?"
The commander nodded, "Ok, I am giving you a green light to go ahead with the project."
"I thought you would say that, so I looked through our personnel files and reports on other hedgehogs that could fit the profile, I came up empty."
"So keep it on the back burner until we find a subject that could work, understood?"
"Yes sir!" and with that the officer left the office.
The commander looked at the intelligence photo taken of Shadow and Maria a few months before Operation Rising Phoenix, now dubbed Operation Super Nova because of the failure of the mission, and sighed, "We didn't mean for any of this to happen, I am sorry."
Me: Wait did I hear that report right? Maria's death was an accident? Also did anyone notice the name of the operation that attacked the ARK? And before you ask, yes that is the same name of a planned story for a reason.
