Shadow's Siblings

[E-123 Omega]

I decided to give this fanfic thing another try and HOPE that I do well.

Chapter 1: A Secret Room and a Secret Journel

It was a summer day on Space Colony (http://www.sonikku.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62939&pid=1555738&st=0&#) ARK. Well, you can't exactly call it day when your in

space. Anyway Shadow has decided to look through some old files on the ARK data base, hoping

to find more information on the technology on the ARK so he can have it fully functional. So far

he has found a voice activated system abord the ARK that carry out commands as instructed by

the voice user. Shadow has set it to his own vocal pattern making running the ARK easier.

"Computer (http://www.sonikku.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62939&pid=1555738&st=0&#)." yelled Shadow as he looked through a box of disks.

"Yes, master Shadow?"replied the speakers abord the ARK.

"Run full function diagnostic of the ARK." said Shadow still looking through the many disk.

"Yes, master Shadow. Please wait." The computer fell silent and a low humming sound can be

heard through the metalic hallways of the the space colony.

"Diagnostic complete master Shadow. ARK is functioning at 60%."

"Damn!" cursed Shadow. He has spent months trying to get the ARK back the way it was 50

years ago and he is only a little over half way there.

"Also master Shadow, during my diagnostic I have uncovered a strange energy signiture abord

the ARK that I have not seen since nearly 50 years ago." Shadows eyes widen.

"Take me to the source of this signiture!" Shadow demanded.

"As you wish master Shadow. Please follow the repair drone to area." Just after the speakers

stopped a flap on the ceiling opened and a small orb came out and headed towrds a hallway.

The probe was fast but nothing Shadow couldn't handle. After nearly a mile of traveling (http://www.sonikku.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=62939&pid=1555738&st=0&#) the probe

stopped. Another flap opened and the probe floated inside. Shadow inspected where he was.

There was nothing, just a blank hallway and a window looking towards the Earth.

"Computer! I told you to take me to the energy signiture, not a blank hallway." yelled Shadow.

"But master Shadow this is where the signiture is. It is 45 degrees towards your right. Shadow

looked right. All he saw was a blank wall.

"Is this some kind of joke!? It's just a blank wall like the rest of this god damn hallway!" Shadow

was enraged, maybe this old technology wasn't worth saving.

"My apologies master Shadow if I let you down." Although it was unkapable of emotion the

computer did sound sad. Shadow took another look at the wall and decided to get a second

opinon. Shadow closely examined the wall. There were no irregularities and seem to look exactly

the same as the other walls.

Why would there be any difference in power towards this wall? All power came from the

generators on the ARK and then distributed evenly among the colony.

Shadow continued to ponder what the difference could be. Maybe it was just an accidental

power surge and it just so happen to happen 50 years ago. Shadow decied to find out.

"Computer."

"Yes master Shadow?" said the computer eagerly.

"I want power level readings of this whole section." If the power is just small amount higher or

lower the the norm power levels. Then it just has to be a small power fluke that can be easily

repaired by repair probes.

"One moment please." said the computer and the same hum can be heard from before. Shadow

waited impaciently tapping his foot.

"Power diagnostic complete." chimed the computer.

"Finally. So whats the reading?" asked the Ebony hedgehog.

"North hallway 55, south hallway 55, current location 85." Shadow nearly lost balance when he

heard the reading.

85!!! That's 30 more than the norm power level!!!

"Computer are you positive!?" asked the shocked hedgehog.

"Yes master Shadow, power readings of that wall are 85."

Shadow was dumbfounded, that reading was as close to the power core reading as any other

part of the colony!

There is no possible way that one wall can hold that much power. The only place close is the

lab/computer room and I don't see...

Shadow stopped in mid thought and had an idea. He walked towards the wall and gave it a firm

solid knock. He jumped back the minuite he heard the most unreal thing. An echo.

"Computer!" yelled Shadow.

"No need to yell master Shadow." replied the computer.

"Give me a 3-D map of the area." he had to know if he was going mad.

"As you wish master Shadow." the flap the probe vanished into opened and a long rod with a

orb at the end of it appeared. The orb had a blue lens on the side of it which emitted a 3-D

hologram of the ARK. Then a square appeared around a small area of the ARK and expanded. It

was the hallway Shadow was in and it showed exactly what Shadow thought he would see,

nothing. He knew there was only one way to find out he was right.

"Computer, I want you to take a heavy duety defense plasma blaster and blast the wall."

Shadow comanded.

"Right away master Shadow." And without question the hologram projector elevated and large,


bulky 4 barreled gun appeared in it's place(Think Ratchet and Clank Going Commando gun on

cover). The barrels began to spin rapidly and emidiately stopped. An orange light began to shine

on the top barrel. Shadow jumped back knowing how powerful these cannons are after he

accidently set off the alarm one time. He ducked down a covered his eyes. A large blast was

heard and smoke covered the hallway. Shadow looked up and saw was stunned at what he saw.

Inside the large whole the cannon made was a secret room with a large computer and a

multitude of of large white tubes. He slowly walked into the room. It had old paper litered on the

floor and walls filled with equations and figures. Shadow past the tubes and went to the computer

curious of it's knowledge.

How come I have never been in this room before? Why is it hidden? Maybe it's a hidden GUN

computer room used to control the ARK if it was captured.

Shadow sat himself down at the computer. He turned it on and a password screen appeared.

"No problem." said Shadow to himself. He knew most of GUN's most common passwords ever

since he was able to get into the ARK mainframe. Shadow tried nearly 8 different passwords and

was almost ready to give up.

"DAMN IT!" cursed the hedgehog,"If this computer doesn't work on GUN passwords then who...."

Suddenly an idea came to Shadow. He returned to the keyboard and typed in the one other password he knew. M-A-R-I-A.

ACCESS DENIED

Now Shadow was really frustrated. Even one of Geralds most used passwords didn't work!

Shadow turned and left but just when he was inches from the hole the made the entrance a new

idea sparked in his mind. He turned and ran back to the computer and typed in the password he thought of, S-H-A-D-O-W.

ACCESS GRANTED: WELCOME GERALD ROBOTNIK

This isn't a GUN computer it's Geralds computer!

Shadow was excited and wanted to begin.

"Computer." said Shadow.

"Yes master Shadow?" the computer replied

"Upload all information from this computer to main Computer room." Shadow was just about to

leave when the computer replied.

"My apologies master Shadow but there is no computer to your vecinity, nor is there a room."

Shadow was baffled and remembered that the room didn't exist on the map meaning that the

computer doesn't know it's there. But that would also mean that this computer was seperated

from the ARK's mainframe. Shadow took a seat on the chair in front of the computer and began

to look through different files and found a journel of Dr.Gerald Robotnik.

What will Shadow find in the journel?
What are these white tubes?
Are they connected?
Why am I asking you?
Find out more next time!

[Black Knight]

Very nice work, you do a great job of portrayting Shadow's personality. That Gerald had a secret room where he did experiments similiar to Shadow is quite a good, not the most unique(but who gives a shit) but still good idea.

You write it all in a very...annoying way to read, I'd suggest writing it more like.

Chapter 1: A Secret Room and a Secret Journel

But except for that, it's great. Keep it up.

Thanx for the complemint! Now to get back to work!

Chapter 2: A Journel and Some New Guest.

Shadow gaised upon the large screen of the computer and read through

the many entries of the Professor's Journel.

Entry #1

I can't believed this is happening to me! Out of all the brilliant minds of the

world I was hand picked by the government to work abord the new space

colony! GUN wants me to get started very soon and I'm as excited as

anyone else! I've got all my notes and my new assisstance, my niece

Maria.

Shadow almost choked when he heard the name, caught by surprise

probably.

Well I'll have to continue writing tomarrow, GUN wants me to start right

away.

Shadow didn't want to go through all the details, just the ones that'll help

him reboot the ARK. So he skipped a few entries to see how far it'll take to

find the important information.

Entry #5

Looks like from now on I'll have to write down my notes in my journel.

I found the General and his men going through my notes and I didn't like

the idea of the government breathing down MY neck for me to

finish there project.

Shadow was now intrested. Maybe he was talking about himself? He

continued to read intently.

So far I have gotten no where with my actual experiments. I need a

powerful bio based material that can hold large amount of energy. A

substance that is as powerful as the metal found in my other Ultimate

Lifeform experiment.

Shadow did not remember what the Professor was talking about at first

until he began to look back at recent events.

Could he be talking that droid Emerl?

Shadow fast foward to the next entries.

Entry # 13

I have found the substance I need! After running a scan of space to find

any nearby substances I found a Black Comet full of high power bio

material. GUN sent over several probes to find samples that I can study.

Shadow had a cold chill run up his spines knowing where this was going

to. He continued to the next entry.

Entry #14

We were visited by some "uninvited" guest. It turns out that the

comet was actually a home for a race of beings known as the Black Arms.

Their leader came abord to complian about the probes invading and said, "I

should destroy this puny excuse for a vessel right now with my army!" We

were about to attack but I think maybe they could be some use to me.

The leader, Black Doom as he was called, told me about his search for the

Chaos Emeralds. Seeing they were living on a comet I suspected they

would use the Emeralds infinite power to rebirth an unknown planet but

I did not ask. I made him a deal if he helped me complete my

experiment, my experiment will retrieve the emeralds for him the next

time the comet passes. Which I doubt will happen any time soon. Black

Doom agreed and tomarrow the experiment begins.

Shadow felt great anger fill his heart. How can the professor asume such

an evil looking creature was trying to do good! Reluctantly Shadow went

through the entries.

Entry#17

Project Green

Attribute Strength

This is my first experiment with Doom. He seems to be able to use small

amount of blood to create life! I did not ask how he did it I just

concitrated on my work. At first I tried to convert the DNA to change to

human like DNA. Unfortunetly it was not compadible and I don't think GUN

would appreciate an alien for a peace keeper. So I tried a different

approach to the DNA. The only beings recorded to use large amounts of

energy are mobians.

Shadow began to look with pride and confusion at the text. What did he

mean by Project Green? And Attribute strength?

So if I just blend the humanoid DNA with a mobian DNA strand we can

create a artificial mobian. But there was an accident.

Shadow began to worry. Could this lead to him finding a abnormality?

The power control unit overloaded and we had to sacrafice a limb to save

the body.

Shadow cringed in fear and stared at his arms and legs.

Could one of my limbs be a prostetic!?

GUN didn't want a amputatee as part of GUN. So to help the poor creature

I've created a robotic arm, but I didn't have the proper supplies to create

a robotic arm that could blend with his flesh. The only thing I can do is use

some old parts from the ARK and create a much bulkier substitute.

What or Who is the professor talking about! I don't have a large robotic

arm! Nor do I remember any accident!

GUN still doesn't like him and I'll have to freeze him in a carbon tube until I

truely fixed him or forget about him and move on. At least I can name him

before I froze him. I'm having a bad feeling that he is not the first. I'm sorry,

Tech the Bull.

A look of shock and fear covered Shadow's face.

That can't be right! Me and BioLizard are the only recorded Ultimate Life

Forms! And I don't know of any freeze tubes. Unless...

Shadow looked back at the previously ignored white tubes and slowly

approached the First one in the bunch. When he touched the tube a small

chip of what appeared to be ice. Shadow began to sweep away at the thin

layer of ice. And when he uncovered the front, he was looking at a giant 6'

green bull with a large arm made of 2 cylinder like parts.

"This can't be possible!" Shadow yelled. He slowly backed away and tripped

landing on a blue button. All 5 of the cylinders in the room began to lift,

leaving steam and chunks of ice on the floor. And when the steam settled

it revealed 5 indivisual mobians. Shadow merely stared blankly at the

figures.

"Does this mean... I'm not the only Ultimate Lifeform?" Shadow said quietly

to himself while the room fades to darkness.
