CHAPTER 1

THE GRAND ESCAPE

There was a top secret military called GUN and they make horrible experiments for the army. Their goal was to make the most powerful weapon for war. Their most powerful experiment was called Experiment 301.

The commander made his way to the experiment's cell. He was a white bat. He had two guards beside him in case the experiment got out of hand.

Once the commander opened the cell, he saw the experiment laying on the floor asleep.

He heard the commander come in, but he didn't move.

"Get up." The commander ordered.

The experiment obeyed, he got from the floor and faced the commander. The experiment wasn't happy to see him as ususal.

"You know what time it is."

The two men grabbed Shadow and took him to the experimenting room.

When they got there they lied Shadow down on a table and strapped him down.

The experiment tried to break free, but he knew it would be no use he would have to deal with the torture once again.

The two men checked his fangs by pressing down on his neck his fangs inserted out of his gums.

They checked his powerful eyesight and other parts of his body.

When they were finished they put him back in his cell. They put a bowl of blood in there also.

"Get ready for tomorrow, monster." The general left, but one of the guards stayed put by the cell door.

Once he left the experiment sat down, "My name is Shadow."

"Who gives a hoot who you are just drink your breakfast." The guard said giving him an order.

Shadow growled under his breath, he looked into the thick blood that was in the bowl. He lured his mouth near the blood and stuck out his tongue and started to lick the blood. He loved the great taste. He then shoved the bowl of blood in his mouth. The taste was irresistible. He wanted more. He hatched a plan that could get him more blood and to escape his torment.

In the monitoring room they had cameras all over the facility even in Shadow's cell.

When one of the guards looked at Shadow's cell from the camera range, they saw Shadow laying on the floor. They checked his energy readings and they saw nothing. They reported it to the general, "General Bat, there are no readings coming from 301."

General Bat contacted the guard that was guarding the cell, "There are no energy readings coming from 301, it is safe to take him to the experimenting room."

The guard made his way into the cell carefully still nervous about the dangerous experiment. He picked up Shadow and carried him towards the experimenting room.

When he did that the red echidna that was with General Bat saw the readings from the experiment rising. "The energy readings just shot up! Get outta there!"

Before the guard could Shadow opened his eyes and quickly bit into the guard's neck.

The guard fell to the floor and died slowly.

Shadow looked around the facility trying to find a way out. He quickly picked a hallway and ran.

"No way, he escaped! Send the officers to f ind him and bring him back...dead or alive." General Bat couldn't believe what the experiment just did.

Shadow was running down the hallway hoping to find a way out sooner or later, but he soon encountered the officers in front of him. There was a lot of them. To Shadow he thought he could take them all.

From the cameras General Bat saw the horror as Shadow killed every single officer. 'This can't be...'

After when Shadow killed them all. He was covered in their blood, blood was almost covering his whole face. He took his tongue and licked the blood around his mouth.

When General Bat saw them all dead he wanted to send more men after him, "Commander Knuckles, send more men."

"But sir the experiment is way too powerful. We're just wasting our men one group at a time. Besides we only have, but half of our men left."

"Then what are we suppose to do?"

"Nothing."

The general sighed.

"I'm sorry sir..."

"All of those people...dead...and it'll be all my fault."

Shadow then made his way out of the facility without a scratch on him. He walked up a hill and took a great view of the city, Station Square. He wasted no time and ran into the city in seek of fresh blood.

When he got deeper in the city he knew he needed clothes to blend in with the crowd. He didn't want to be seen nude. All he had on was his shock collar that had the carving of the words 'Experiment 301.' Soon he found someone who could provide him with clothes and he knew just how to get them.

In an alley way he carried the dead body behind the trash can and took the clothes that he had and put them on. He had on red shirt, black long coat, black pants, white, black, red, and yellow shoes with thrusters on the bottom of them, his gloves had a yellow bracelet on them, and he had on thick black sunglasses. Soon after when he got dressed he headed on.

Later that night at a diner Shadow was sitting on a stool at the counter. He did have coffee, but he drunk it all.

There was only one person at the diner and that was a young woman, she was the waitress. "Do you want more coffee, hon?"

"No."

She noticed what a mess he looked, "You look a wreck. You look like you were running from the police or something."

"You have no idea."

Then the woman heard sirens outside of the diner, "What the?" She peeked out of the window for a quick second. She saw police cars, tanks, and officers outside of the diner. "What are they doing here?" Before she knew it she felt something sharp deep in her neck, it was painful. She was screaming, but Shadow's hand was on her mouth preventing her from doing it. She fell to the floor bleeding to death from her neck.

Shadow walked outside of the diner to deal with the military force.

A man with brown hair was the one telling him to surrender, "301, come with us or die."

Shadow just stood there.

The brown haired man took that as a die. "Then die, men fire at him!"

The tanks fired at Shadow. A lot of smoke came when the shot was taken, they didn't know if they got him or not. They got their answer when the smoke cleared.

Once it did, the experiment stood in the same position before except this time he put a smirk on his face.

Shadow charged at them with all of the anger he had.

Later at a house a white bat was in her room typing up something on the computer. On her desk she had a picture of General Bat and her while she was little. General Bat was pushing her on the swing and she was enjoying it.

Back at the diner the war between Shadow and the military was over. Shadow had won and he was celebrating by drinking blood from half of the officers he killed. He was smearing the blood all over his mouth enjoying his sweet victory. When he was finished, he picked up the gun beside of the man he drew blood from. He stared at the gun and noticed there was blood on the side. He took his tongue and licked the blood from the gun with pleasure.

It started to rain, it drizzled a bit then it got harder. He stared up in the rain and started to yell in misery for the entire night.

The next morning at the white bat's house she came from her house walking outside towards her backyard to see how her flowers were doing. She examined them by how much water was on them. She smiled, "We certainly got a nice amount of rain last night. That should keep my flowers nice and healthy." She then looked over behind her bushes and saw something black. It was a person. A black hedgehog. He passed out behind her bushes. He was looking in pretty bad shape. She gasped astonished to see him in her flowerbed unconscious
