After finding the first Chaos Emerald and escaping the grasp of G.U.N troops back at the warehouse. We bring you 3 months later during the dreaded winter of the future. Snow has blanketed the north, and blood covers the walls. The Freedom Fighters are making their frontal assault on G.U.N's Bio Labs just two miles (3.2187 km) north of Spagonia. In hopes of finding documents that trace back to the cloning process of 2187 A.D to cripple the G.U.N army. Will they be able to survive the winter? Or will it end in a very bloody spring.
Prologue: Wake Me Up
Spoiler:
The room was small, everything except for the light on the table was dark. On one end, a chair, and a one way mirror behind it. A man came in, he was a casual person, buisness man like, he sat down in the chair and pulled out a folder containing files that seemed of importance. He looks up and speaks,
"Do you know who you are?" he asks juggling a pencil in between his fingers.
"No..." a voice says shakely, it's a light hearted voice. Soothing to the ears.
"Do you know where you came from? Family? Anything?" He asks.
"No, I don't remember much." The voice says again. This time more steady and less cracked.
"Your name is Airam, and what do you remember?" There was a silence. "Don't be shy, I won't bite."
"Well..." the voice began. "I remember the stars, it was always night out. It was always quiet..." The man wrote down a few things on the paper, and looked up.
"Anything else?" he asked.
"I remember a lot of people always around, checking in on me and such. I also remember a man with a very large mustache..." He continued to write down everything being said.
"Anything else?" he repeated. It was quiet,
"I remember a black hedgehog..."

Chapter 1-New Birth
Spoiler:
Gunshots are fired, the flashes light up the hallways of the building, G.U.N soldiers fall to the ground as their bodies turn to lifeless lumps. The dark halls were illuminated by the fires and flash lights of the creatures. "Move up," Mighty commanded, keeping his eyes open. His soldiers moved forward, two humans, two creatures, one a cat with a clean white pelt with small strokes of ash, the other Sally. The hallways began to flood from the fire sprinklers, and they began searching rooms, looking for enemy troops. One of the humans spoke. "Are you sure the documents are here sir?" he asked. Mighty shot a glance. "They have to be here, just a little bit of that information could cripple them." They pressed on, wading through foot deep water, caused by the fire sprinklers. Moving through the dozens of offices and labs, they fought off more guards and smashed any remains of genetic cloning.
An explosion came from the hallway, Airam and the man hit the floor. G.U.N troops ran past the window in the door. The man stood up. He reached into his pocket and whipped out a pistol. "Stay here!" he shouted, opening then slamming the door as he moved his way out. He unloaded two or three shots before the window splattered with blood. Total fear slipped down her spine, it was silent except for the fire alarms. Voices came from the opposite side of the door. She stood up, and slowly made her way over to the opposite side of the room. She put her ear to the door, and listened in.
"Mighty, it's not here." Said a soft, yet sterdy voice.
"It's here dammit, we need to find something. A file, a sheet of paper. It's gotta be here somewhere..."
"Mighty, seriously-"
"Shut up, it's here. I know it is. We just need to-" There was a clank then silence "I think I found it..." Airam took her ear off the door, and moved over to the table and grabbed a chair. She picked it up slowly and placed it down as quietly as she possibly could. Got up onto the chair, and peaked through the window which was still stained with blood. The room was a cluttered mess of computers, documents, and papers. On one side of the room were three creatures crowding around something, but couldn't tell what it was. On the other, two humans looking through desks and file cabinets. Suddenly there was a cheer that attracted Airam's attention back to the creatures.There was a joyous laugh. "I told you it was here! I told you!" Airam, tried to get a look at what they had, but in a split second went tumbling to the ground. Tipping over the chair, and hitting the desk in which sent the light flying to the ground and smashing. Everything outside went quiet, fear had sunk into her body. Everything had gone cold.
Everyone had gone silent, Mighty stood up, and grabbed a pistol from his belt. He signaled everyone to be quiet, slowly he made his way over to the door. He turned back, everyone had their guns aimed, ready for any surprise attacks. He grabbed the handle, and ripped the door open. The barrel of the gun landed right on the head of a creature. Hedgehog. She screamed. Mighty held the gun for another few seconds, and lowered it and went back to the documents. "She's a puppet of G.U.N's" he said, the cat came forward. "What do you mean a puppet?" she asked. "You see the blue outfit she's wearing?" He asked the cat. She nodded, "She's a puppet. What for? I have no idea. Only thing that matters anymore is that we have the data. All we need to do now is meet up with Shadow and we can get this thing back to base." Mighty walked towards the door, "Mighty!" Sally yelled. He turned around and faced her. "What about her?" She pointed at Airam. He gave a deep breath. "Not my choice Sally." And he walked out, followed by the two human soldiers. Sally looked at Airam, "Would you like to come with? You'll be treated better." She said with gentle words. The hedgehog nodded her head, and grabbed Sally's hand. They ran after Mighty."
Chapter 2-New World
Spoiler:
Outside was cold and bitter, with the winter winds hitting them in the face. Mighty opened up the door of a hummer, and hopped in the driver's seat. Sally, Tina, and Airam followed behind. Mighty started up the hummer and poked his head out the window. "You two!" He shouted to the human soldiers. They looked at him. "Take the other hummer, follow behind us. Keep anything we don't need of our backs!" They nodded and ran towards it. Troops came running out on the opposite end of the parking garage and opened fire on them. "Shit, get down!" He floored for the exit, hitting some troops on the way out. Bullets flew through the window, scraping the back of Mighty's shell and nearly hitting the others. The sped down a road, past troops and civilians. Sally opened fire on the enemies with a machine gun. They made a hard right turn onto the highway, throwing civilian vehicles out of the way. G.U.N trucks were right behind them, lights flashing and alarms rising. They opened fire with automatics, bullets smashed the window open. Sally fell to the ground of the back seat, dropping her weapon. "Mighty, we can't stay here anymore!" Said one of the human troops over the radio from the other hummer. "They're sending in hel-" the hummer burst into flames and front flipped onto the road. Mighty watched as their bodies were flung from the vehicles in shock. "Mighty! They've got helicopters!" Sally yelled. Mighty looked in the side mirror, seeing a helicopter with it's spot light bright on them. Missiles were shot, the road exploded in front of them. He steered the car out of the way but balanced on two wheels, he smash the left side and crashed it back to the ground. "Where the hell is he!?" Mighty yelled.
Airam sat there in terror sitting against the back seat as the world exploded around her and bullets flying through the window. Sally shouted into the radio which hurt her ear, "Where are you! Sha-" Gun fire muted her out again, it seemed as though the entire G.U.N army was out to kill them. Suddenly there was an explosion then what followed was a complete flip upside down. Airam hit the ceiling of the car, then smashing into the door. Mighty was shaking the shock off in the driver's seat, and Sally was coughing. Airam, squinted looking out the cracked window. Through the foggy glass, she could see a single bright light coming down the road. Mighty came through and said quietly. "Shadow..." And a black streak blasted past the window, for Airam, everything slowed down, the streaks of red cover his quills, and black made his form. His eyes glowed with red anger, and teeth grinded.
Shadow zoomed down the highway on the motorcycle, and catapulted himself into the air and landed on the window of the helicopter. He looked at the pilot, and began to smash at the glass. One punch, two punches, the third one smashed open the hatch, he grabbed the pilot, and smashed his head against the window. It threw the helicopter crashing into the ground, blocking the G.U.N troops from reaching Mighty and Sally. The fire exploded outwards. Shadow stood atop the wreckage in the red heat.
"Shadow the Hedgehog!" A troops started, "Your under arrest for crime against the G.U.N Empire, surrender yourself now, or we will be forced to take lethal action on you and your adversaries." Shadow looked at them with dark eyes, he put his hands up and behind his head. "Step down slowly!" The trooper continued. Shadow did as he was told, he landed on the pavement. All guns were aimed on him, sights and scopes. Ready to shoot at a moments notice. He smiled,
"Chaos Control!" And he was gone with a blue light. The troops mumbled, on where he went. A voice appeared from behind them. "You know, if your going to try and arrest me, your going to need to try even harder than that." They turned around, he layed on the top of a car hand lifting his head. Smirking. They opened fire on him and he was gone again. They looked around, suddenly gunshots were fired, three troops laid dead on the street. "Where the hell is he!" one of them shouted. "Right behind you!" Shadow shouted before stabbing the troop in the back. Shadow was glowing blue as he held a blue emerald in his hand, they opened fire on him again, he bolted again, drawing his guns this time and shooting back. Landing shots on their heads, splattering blood all over their vehicles. He was moving faster than he had ever had in nearly two centuries. He grabbed a sword from his back, he threw himself at the remaining guards, he stabbed and sliced at them. Till there was nothing left but a bloody mess. He stood and looked around, the blue emerald in his hand eliminated everything around him, then went grey.
He ripped open the doors of the hummer, allowing Mighty, Tina, and Sally to get out. "You know, you cut that pretty god damn close!" Mighty shouted. Shadow responded with, "I still saved you didn't I?" he said with a serious face. Sally was bandaging up a wound of hers on the side of the road. "You okay?" Mighty asked her. "I'm fine." she responded, then jumped up. "Where's the girl?" with a surprise look on her face. Mighty ran over to the back of the truck. "Girl?" Shadow asked. "Mighty and I found her in the Genetics Labs, she was one of their test subjects." Sally told him. Mighty got out of the back seat, in his arms was Airam, the small blue-eyed, blonde hedgehog. She had a cut on her head and a few bruises on her arms. "Who's this?" Shadow asked once more. Mighty shrugged. "So you don't know her name?" He said looking at them. He took a deep breath, and walked over to the girl. "And who might you be, exactly?" he asked her.
Airam sat there, scared and interested by Shadow. She didn't answer, he asked again. "Uh...uh...A-Airam, sir..."
Chapter 3-Long Road Ahead
Spoiler:
They drove their vehicles into the garage. Mighty hopped out, and walked over to Shadow still sitting on his motorcycle. "I'm heading over to Overwatch and see if they can work out the files we brought back. As for you," Might said, Shadow stared at him. "Keep an eye on the girl, she's been through a lot tonight." Shadow let out a deep sigh, and nodded. Mighty walked off and Shadow got off his bike. Sally carried Airam out, she was sleeping silently. "She's asleep?" Shadow asked in a surprised tone looking at the girl. Sally shrugged her shoulders, "I guess you can't help it, she's been through a lot today. Escaping G.U.N's grasp, nearly being blown up, and any possible injuries she might have taken from when the vehicle flipped." Sally rubbed her hand on the back of the girl's head. "Which reminds me; I'm going to go take her down to the infirmary. I'd like to know if she's ok." Sally walked over to the staircase. He tilted his head to the ground, "You know it won't matter in the end Sally." he said. Sally stopped in her tracks. She looked over her shoulder at Shadow. "Which is why I'm going to make sure she doesn't end up back where she was." Sally walked off down the stairwell. Leaving Shadow in the garage alone. He let out another sigh, and walked over to the elevator. It was a small steal caged cell, lit by lights on the elevator shaft walls. The doors closed behind him and opened up the control panel of the elevator. Behind it, was an entire panel filled with more buttons. He hit three buttons and they began to blink violently, then turned to a solid green. He clicked 'Bottom Floor'. The elevator began moving down. Shadow crossed his arms and watched as the lights of the elevator shaft went dim, and then turned to pitch black then turning to a bright florescent blue. The room was lit up with monitors, humans and creatures talking to one another, discussing problems and strategy. The elevator came to halt and the doors swung open. He walked out into the open floors, passing by those working at their computer screens, retrieving and sending data to Fighter outposts all around the world. He walked through rows and rows of computers with people busy at work. Mighty's red shell caught his attention, and walked over to him. "Figure anything out yet?" Shadow said, catching Mighty in the middle of his thoughts. "Nothing major yet, but what we did find was something interesting." It caught Shadow's attention. "Shadow, I have no idea what G.U.N is up too in the slightest, but from what we've found from the files...They're looking for something, something big. I have no idea what it is, but they want it. Badly." Shadow nodded his head. "What about the girl?" Shadow asked. Mighty took a deep breath. "We'll need to train her first, and to be honest, I don't know what she is. Like, what were they using her for anyways." Mighty said. "Where did you find her anyways?" Mighty licked his lips. "We found her in the same room as the files, scared to death most likely, espically after I put a gun in her face thinking she was an troop trying to get the jump on us. So I have no idea how any of this will turn out."
Chapter 4-A New Turning
Spoiler:
General Zanz slammed his fist down on the desk, putting a dent into the solid oak. He moved his vision up at the commander. "You lost them! Dammit solider! How are we supposed to stop these rebels, if we keep losing to them!" He backhanded his coffee mug across the room. The troop let out a loud gulp of worry. "You people keep failing me over and overagain, you fail to kill the Freedom Fighters!" The commander began to speak. "Uh, there's also been reported to be a missing subject, subject-354 if I remember correctly." Zanz looked at him with an infuriating stare and grinded his teeth as he spoke. "You mean to tell me you 'lost' the girl?!" "Yes?" The next thing to follow was the gunshot from Zanz's silver pistol. The commander dropped dead. "I'm getting so tired of these fools, not to mention the Fighters!" He poured a bottle of whiskey into a shot glass, "Computer!" A computer monitor flickered on from behind him. "Search all the best genetic scientists in the G.U.N Empire. With these bozo's screwing up all the time, I can't afford to trust them anymore." The computer began to flash and blink with numbers and names. The computer beeped and responded, "Top five genetic scientists in G.U.N" It pulled up a file, "Number one, Jason Ief. Spent 20 years devoloping plant like organisms, still in combat testing." "To easy to kill, next." Zanz said. "Number two, Roger Crith. Developed living robotic organisms, however flaws have been found within DNA sources." "Next." He drank his shot glass. "Number three, Matt Slash. Has spent nearly 22 years researching in the field of the element 349, otherwise known as 'Dark Matter'. Has spent nearly 15 years in the field of genetics as a side project to his Dark matter experiments, along with several other projects for G.U.N" Zanz spun around in his chair. "I've heard of that name before...he spent a great deal of time designing our newer drones. I wonder if he'd be willing to do it again?" He paused for a moment. "Computer! Send Slash a message, tell him we need a new project done."
Hours later... General Zans was waiting in his office, looking over older battle plans from a distant time. A voice came over the monitor. "Sir, Slash is here, should I let him in?" It said. "Let him in," The door clicked open, and standing there was a grim ideal'd man, he was tall and wore a tan leather jacket. His hair was brown, cut short, and had a smile that could scare the devil. He spoke, "Zanz, how goes the family?" Zanz looked at him with a glare. "Fine Matt...please sit." He said, pointing his arm to the two chairs in front of him. Slash took a seat and looked at him. "You're probably wondering why you're here." Slash shrugged."Well, as of last night, some Level 5 Threats got away with an extremely dense package of info, and a test subject who was essential to the Empire." "And let me guess, you want me to create you a weapon of some sort to get it back?" Slash said. "Not just any type of weapon. I'm talking genetic weapon, we want you to recreate the Ultimate Lifeform, otherwise known as Shadow the Hedgehog for it to go after this girl." He slid a picture of Airam forward. Slash looked at it, "And this is what you want me to get for you?" Zanz nodded. "Didn't you say...Ultimate Lifeform? Do you have the orignal DNA of Shadow for me to use?" "We have a beta sample of it, but due to losing the files over-time, you'll need to work off of what you got." "And what will be my pay?" "Ten-mil in credits, a pent house in the 2nd tallest building in the city, and a straight cross from upper class to the executive class. So do we have a deal?" Slash purked his lips for a moment in thought, then shoved his hand across the desk. "Deal." He said smugly.
Chapter 5-The Shadowing
Spoiler:
Shadow stepped out from his room, yawned, and went about his usual routine of the Command Center. Grabbed a cup of hot water, grabbed his pistols from the weapons keeper, and through on his old rugged G.U.N leather jacket. He walked through the large majorities of the crowds, commandment officers, squadrons, the lab freaks, and the trainees. Which reminded him, he walked over to the desk keeper, her yellow fur shined on what little light they had. "Beck, you see where Sally and a girl about my height, blonde, hedgehog, go if they went by?" Beck, nodded her head and gestured down the hallway, towards the training department, with the pen in between her fingers. He nodded back to her, and gave the faintest of smiles. Shadow walked into the department, troops were training in the gun range, equipment testing was being done by the scientists in the room next to it. Shadow spotted Sally standing outside the close quarter combat station. Dazing through the window, he caught glimpse of Airam and Bunny. Bunny teaching Airam how to fight back against troops. Shadow walked over, "What are you doing?" He asked quietly. Sally, without moving her gaze from the window, spoke, "I told you I wasn't going to let her end up back where she began, so I had Bunny teach her the basics in some martial arts styles." Airam had snapped a wooden board in half. "She's been catching on quickly, faster than most rookies." Shadow shot a look at her. "Yes, I'm recruiting her." Sally's face drew heavy. Shadow spoke up, "Look, I know I'm not the one who's giving the orders. But, I agree with Mighty on this. We don't know what this girl is, or if G.U.N will be knocking on our front door for it." Sally angrily turned to him, "Then we'll deal with them as we have in the past! If I can save a life for another day from those damn monsters, then it means everything to me! I don't even think you understand what it means to save a life!" Shadow caused Sally to snap back a bit. "And you don't understand what it's like to lose everything in a blink of an eye." He said with a dark tone, and stormed out of the room. Sally stood in shock as she watched Shadow walk out of the room. She let her thoughts sink to the floor as Bunny and Airam walked out of the training area. Bunny smiled, and nodded to Sally. "How'd she do?" Sally asked as Airam pattered away through the door. "Extremely fine, almost perfect mo'e like it. We're already up t'high arts, an' it hain't even been a day." She said as her rednecked accent held. Sally nodded then smudged her face back. "I'll be putting her on weapon training tomorrow I guess." Sally said, "Who does you reckon be a good trainer fo' her?" "Shadow..." Bunny stared at Sally for a moment, "Shadow's been using weaponry like that for nearly two hundred years, I'd like for him to train her. Just so I can show him that the girl has a reason to continue fighting in this world."
Mighty caught up to Shadow. "So, what did she say about the whole Airam thing?" He asked. "She still thinks that girl is just a normal girl. I have high reasons to doubt all of it." Shadow put darkly, almost anger. "Maybe she's actually one we can trust with this situation." Mighty said. "Mighty, we've run into these problems before. G.U.N test subjects that are supposedly safe, but end up being something of what we never expected, and total up in the amount of losses." "I just don't know Shadow, we've been getting a lot of weird things happening in the war as of lately. G.U.N creating new weaponry, establishing cities in areas that don't even make sense, and to top it all off; the assassination of Executive Westbrook by the hands of the Black Dog team has just made everything else harder on us." Someone bumped Mighty as they ran by with a strainer. Mighty stepped in front of Shadow and held him back. "All I'm saying is that we don't know what's going to be happening within the next few days. Big things could change for the better. But we don't know anything.

It's a smaller chapter due to the lack of ideas for it.
