Part 2 of story 1 enjoy.
I do not own any of these characters.
Anything in italics is Shadows POV
The professor now deep in thought turned back to the creature in the large tube.
"It will do more than just retrieve the Chaos Emeralds for you won't it?" He was smart, he knew if it was going to be immortal it would be kept around to do more than just gathering a few chaos charged rocks.
"You could say that" Black Doom shrugged obviously not going to give away his plans.
A soft 'hmm' came from the professor as he mused over the decision.
Chaos Emeralds were extremely powerful, he knew that from firsthand experience, they could be used to heal and revive bodies from physical injuries as the studies had shown so far. Yet everything has a dark side the Chaos Emeralds were well known to cause chaos as they were so called.
His creature could be brought to life if he accepted the offer but the creature would then also be used to cause either destruction or peace, maybe both. If he completed his experiments in time he could use the creature to find a cure for his granddaughter, of course this deal would allow him to help his daughter and the world sooner.
Too many thoughts of what could happen; many of them were ending badly, few ending perfectly, many with no end at all. The majority of outcomes were incalculable(yes that is a word).
"Are there any...side effects... I should know about?" he questioned one eyebrow raised eyes still on the hedgehog.
"Immortal to natural causes of death, immunity to poisons /diseases, increased healing and blood restorative qualities, little to no nutrition is needed to support the life form, and it will be able to resist damage to extreme heat and extreme cold. Not that these are side effects, the ability to control Chaos energy and a stronger resistance to damage may cause the body to change to support these qualities further." Black Doom spoke in a monotone voice. He would not allow himself to reveal any emotions that could give away his plans.
The professor turned back to face the dark form. All the qualities needed for the research and more!
"I accept."
The dark being would grin maliciously but if he did his plans would be ruined. He handed the human a small vial of a dark substance.
"Run this through the creatures blood stream when you awaken it, too early or too late and the creature will die, I will return in 50 years time." Black Doom then disappeared.
The professor held the precious liquid with care, It was the key to his cure for Maria.
Quickly finishing the preparation procedure he secretly poured the dark liquid in to the blood that would be transfused in to the creature then he stepped away to admire his work before leaving the room in darkness and the steady green glow of light behind the creature.
Lab 5 was now filled with scientists, some holding clip boards jotting down notes, others scanned the monitor of the large computer. Final preparations were made as the hedgehog inside the large cylinder was being prepared for 'Awakening'.
The creature now had an oxygen mask covering its mouth and nose, several tubes ran into its arms which would deposit blood in to his major arteries, and lastly multiple wires, connected to machines on the outside of the container, would read his pulse and 'awaken' him.
Professor Gerald Robotinik stood at the front of the room eyes on every scientist in the area.
"Alright every one, Listen up." He started but the others continued to talk. 'This is just like trying to get the attention of a bunch of school kids' he thought with a displeased frown on his face his large bushy brown moustache drooping.
"I said, LISTEN UP!"
Some turned to him others continued to talk.
*CRASH!*
Every one turned to see what had dropped, fearful of it damaging work on the project, only to find the professor smiling as he addressed the crowd putting away a music player away in his pocket which had produced the sound.
"Now that I have your attention, it's time to Awaken Project Shadow, everyone get to your stations." He directed them.
The scientists busied themselves pushing buttons on the large computer, gathering notes, checking and re-checking the creatures status. Professor Gerald held his hand over a large red button waiting for the scientists to finish their tasks. The 'Awakening' would be powered by a chaos emerald like always.
"Ready for awakening....go." it was spoken calmly as all figures in the room backed away from the center to watch the hedgehog come to life as the button was pushed.
The wires inside crackled with energy sparking a weak pulse to the creature as blood began trickling in to the dark hedgehogs veins. A soft and steady *beep*...*beep*...*beep* could be heard from one of the monitors as it read the new pulse.
Gerald watched as the last of the secretly 'tainted blood' dribbled in to the still form.
The black Hedgehogs eyes were about to open to reveal natural coloured irises when its pulse suddenly raced.
*beep*..*beep*..*beep*
The Hedgehog who had felt calm just a nanosecond ago suddenly felt like a lightning bolt of extremely high voltage hit his heart.
The creature's eyes slammed close as it arched its back and opened its mouth to scream. The first change was sharp canine teeth.
The professor stood wide eyed as he watched the creature change. Every human in the room was frozen to the spot. None of the experiments had reacted this way before.
*beep*.*beep*.*beep*
Pain shot through my veins like needles and knives slicing and stabbing. Pain racing down my arm, my legs, my body, Aghh! My head!
The creature now doubled over, hands were up in a flash grasping its head as it continued to scream its agony. The fingers tightened their grip, sharp nails digging in to his head, trying to stop the pain. Slowly its quills began to gather in different sections, they became razor sharp, enough that they could cut through steel.
*Beep* *BEEP* *BEEEEEE----*
My head! Why does it hurt so much?! Stop! Stop! Please...It hurts so much...Ahhh!
The creature writhed inside the cylinder as it clutched its head in pain, some wires pulled away from its body as it continued to curl up in to a ball, a normal instinct for a hedgehog. A patch of jet black fur on the hedgehog's forehead slowly began to turn red; this patch became a streak as it traveled between two ears and soon reached the tip of one thick, long, deadly sharp quill.
It stopped...no...No...NO! Nggh! Ahhh! STOP! Why!? Stop, please ...Why?
The creature stopped holding its head which now had six sharp quills; One in the center arched up. Two on each side started out strait back then rose up in to sharp points, the last one at the back stood straight out. Each quill had a blood red streak on the top giving the creature a very demonic look. Two jet black quills stood out on his back, there were no fine soft quills now. The newly formed quills looked aerodynamic and sharper that any blade, no one would want to touch those.
The professor's heart was fluttering in panic, excitement, fear...Did he make a mistake? Was it working? Why was it screaming so much? He watched as it let out another shriek as it grasped its arms still doubled over.
STOP! I demand you stop this!
Screams were replaced with growls that made some of the watching humans flinch or back up in fear. The creature's arms now too had red streaks starting just below the shoulder going over the elbows and ending in two red dipped fingers. The legs soon followed as red trailed down over his knees and down to his feet.
Ahhhhhhhh! Wh-What is this-this energy?! I-I can't take it! No! Stop! This is too much! I Can't Take It!
The hedgehog if that's what it still was had its hands clenched in to fists which it pressed against its head. It had stopped producing sound after its last scream and everyone was now watching in the silence as it seemed to gather a dark red aura around it.
'It's gathering chaos energy !' The professor realised in shock and quickly predicted the outcome.
"Everybody get down NOW!" He yelled and was obeyed.
Un-natural red eyes snapped open, it's back arched slightly, arms spread...A shrill scream...And the red energy was released.
*CRASH!*
Shards of glass and thick green liquid soared across the room in all directions.
The life form stood there among the destruction like the greatest of demons, yet the last change, a soft patch of snow white fur on its chest, made him look like a faint light of hope in darkness.
The last sentence kept changing, I was like no that doesn't work or no I don't want it to end that way or gahhh! Do you like the ending? Do you want it to continue? (I won't continue Shadows story (Story 1) unless asked)
Anyways I have bits of a Tails doll story I might post (very small chance of happening because it's incomplete) I also have a Shadow and Silver friendship story planned out. I'm trying to think of a good Sonic story.
Please post reviews even critique is appreciated. The more reviews you post the more (and sooner) I will post my stories.
Thank you for reading my stories! ~Samara
