Project Sonic

The lab in the ARK was enveloped in a cold glow, illuminated only by the flickering screens and containment tanks filled with a translucent liquid. Formulas, calculations, and genetic data floated on the screens like constellations in a universe of your own making. And beside you, arms crossed, staring at the project, was Shadow the Hedgehog. You weren't the first to do something like this. Gerald Robotnik had created Shadow as "The Ultimate Life Form", the pinnacle of biological engineering. But now, you were about to create something different. Not a perfect weapon. Not a revenge project. But pure speed. Pure instinct. Pure freedom. You were creating Sonic the Hedgehog. Shadow watched the process with a mixture of indifference and distrust. He wasn't sure what to feel. Why was he helping with this? He had been the first. Created as the ultimate life, designed to be unsurpassed. And now… you were creating someone else. At first, it was just a blurry silhouette underwater. Then, the shape became defined. Spines shorter and more curved than Shadow's, a vibrant blue hue, a body designed to move at impossible speeds.
