Project Hedgehog

Chapter 1: Two Minds, One Body

Greetings all and welcome to "Project Hedgehog"! The first couple chapters are a bit bad because I wrote these a few years ago. I will be editing these in the future! Thank you all for reading and I hope you enjoy!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Being the daughter of three powerful hedgehogs isn't the easiest thing in the world. Especially since I could potentially die if I use up too much of my energy. Heh. What's an experiment to do? Not much, especially if you're confined to a secret underground lab. In the two years I've been alive, I've never seen the outside world. Though, it's probably hard to tell I'm only two when I have the body of a sixteen year-old.

"S-107! GET DOWN TO THE CENTRAL ROOM, NOW!"

Eggman's voice boomed over the intercom placed in my room. I cover my ears as my head starts ringing. He always seems to 'forget' I have sensitive hearing. I exit my room and started towards the Central Room, waving to a few robots as I walk by. The Central Room is where the Doctor 'trains' me. He puts me up against robots stronger or faster than me in order to make my abilities stronger. Sometimes he just does some scans on Sam, my older twin. She's not here physically, though. She was trapped in my mind when something went wrong while the Doctor was adding extra negative Chaos Energy into her. I sometimes wondered why he gave her a name but not me. I walk through a set of giant metal doors and see the Doctor standing by a control panel with Metal Sonic beside him. Upon entering they both turn to face me. Metal waves to me as I wave back.

"Greetings, Sir. You asked to see me?"

"Ah yes. Come here, 107."

I walk over to the Doctor as he turns to a new machine he built. It was two chambers connected by a metal tube. The Doctor started to type on a small control panel attached to the machine. He turned to me.

"This is a separation chamber. We're going to separate you and your sister."

My eyes widened as I took a few steps back in surprise.

"What?!"

"You heard me. I want to get the actual final product out of this project."

Eggman started to type away at the control panel as the machine started to wake up. My ears lowered. It's true that I'm not the 'finished' product. Sam was supposed to be the final, the complete one, the success. I'm just a prototype. I'm weaker than her. That's why I go through all this 'training'. To see if I can actually reach Eggman's expectations. However...the results have only been failure after failure after failure.. Perhaps that was the reason for her name. My ears perked up when the door to one of the chambers in front of me opened.

"Get in."

Eggman spoke firmly. For a moment, I hesitated before nodding and obediently stepped into the chamber. The door shuts gently behind me, my ears perked as I heard a soft click indicating the door was locked. I could feel my heart start to beat faster as a loud buzzing noise surrounded me. I looked around the chamber, almost panicked, until my eyes landed on Metal's. My ears lowered, I was scared... He gave me a small nod, attempting to reassure me that it was going to be okay. To be honest..I trust him. He was the only being that showed actual emotion towards me and helped me when I was first created, despite being a robot. He was like my..I believe the correct term is brother.

"Here we go!" Eggman shouted over the loud buzzing before a sharp pain coursed through my body.
"AAAAHHHH!" I screamed louder than I have before.

This pain...it was so much worse than I could've imagined.. My body twitched frantically as sparks of electricity traveled through my body. I couldn't think..I couldn't breathe right.. There was only pain. Tears were streaming down my face as I felt something tugging away from me, negative Chaos Energy was slowly and painfully leaving my body and traveling to the other chamber.. Through blurry vision and painful effort, I slowly turn my head to look at the other chamber. What I saw made everything melt away as I stood there in shock, it was a transparent Sam.. Her navy blue fur was just barely visible in the small space, her sharp and cold emerald eyes stared back at me, a wicked smile on her faded face. Her midnight black and crimson red stripes were starting to become more visible. Suddenly everything came back to me as I felt as though a knife was thrusted into my heart and being twisted harshly in every direction.. A loud warning beep started to come from the machine as my eyes clenched shut in pain, the area around me growing hot..bright.. Next thing I know..I was launched from the machine as it overheated and exploded in flames.

I laid on the floor, twitching as the Doctor was swearing and ordering robots to put the fire out. Sam wasn't in the other chamber..she was put back into my mind.. Tears continued to flow down my cheeks as I feel someone gently pick me up. Metal's red orbs lock onto mine, his robotic voice trying to tell me to stay awake.

"C'mon, S.. Stay awake.. stay ...awake..." His voice started to sound distant as my vision started to dim, darkness started to consume my vision as I started to grow more and more tired. The overwhelming pain taking over my mind as I finally give into the darkness, Eggman's rage and Metal's calm voice the last things I hear before everything went quiet and dark..
