I guess that wasn't what he wanted to hear I mean what else could I say? Everything up to this point had been a lie by my own creator... he only cared about getting his granddaughter a cure I was to be that cure but my body rejected it... altering genetics didn't work for him... He caused others to believe I was an enemy because of something that wasn't even my fault I didn't ask to be created or an experiment.... things weren't looking too good for me, stuck here at GUN now, I bit someone, maybe I am turning into the monster here, the monster everyone saw me as. Here I am now under a really bright light on an operating table unable to move, I was starting to gain some consciousness as figures moved above me speaking but I could barely hear them then a yell rang out from nearby, my hearing was brought back I could hear the sound of machines beeping sounds of people talking to one another so many voices at once. I looked around a bit to try and get an idea on what was going on around me, Sonic was nowhere to be seen so that was a relief but I saw that I was hooked up to different machines by the look of it, some were monitoring my vitals, others were probably for some kind of research, it all just reminded me of things I'd really love to keep in the deepest darkest abyss inside my mind, keeping those memories from ever seeing the light again but no.... Sometimes memories can be  the worst form of torture..... that's how my mind played... Memories came flooding to me right then this whole lab was a big reminder of everything that had occurred in the lab on the ark where I am from, memories on how Gerald would try and make some changes to me in order to have me be a cure. I didn't notice when the scientists left the room leaving me alone for a bit not even when the commander came into the room, I was stuck in my own memories at the time, I couldn't escape my mind at the time.  The memories filled my mind for another couple minutes, I could feel a cold icy gaze upon me though the feeling of hate washed over me, it sent my mind to freeze I was finally free from the memories, they were sent back to the abyss, I didn't realize my eyes were closed until I opened them only to see the commander looking at me his cold stare sent shivers down my spine, silence surrounded us. If I wasn't hooked up to a bunch of machines I would've had my arms crossed, the man just turned away probably in disgust but no he turned back toward me, now he gave me a confused look, maybe he was confused on what to do with me it is possible that someone would break me out of isolation again, it was possible they ran out of tests to lay on me.... but then again how long was I out for? If I was out for days then what occurred with Sonic? Did he ditch me here or is he still around? Knowing him he probably broke free from the cell by using his speed if someone opened the door to grab him. Sure him breaking out would be a relief but there's always that sense he wouldn't look back once free, the thought of being left behind was scary to me, he didn't seem like the type to do so but I didn't think my creator would do something like what he had done. The commander stepped closer to me, I felt my heart race as he got nearer....what is this guy planning? I wondered knowing very well this guy wanted me dead but for now I'm a lab experiment to him.  I awaited for pain and well I got just that... another feeling of a needle entering my arm, I don't like needles in the best of times not even in the worst of times but struggling wasn't exactly easy not with tubes connected to me... it all just gave me more flash backs.... My eye lids grew heavy as the last of the liquid entered inside my veins., when I awoke I was back on the ark in a hallway,  I let out a sigh as I started to walk away almost unsure on if this was real or not then a voice broke the silence a long with my train of thought  it was all too familiar when I looked back I saw Maria plain as day, running toward me before hugging me.
" Haha found you Shadow! " she smiled, she wore her favorite outfit, a light blue dress with a dark blue sweater she also had a blue headband on then her shoes also matched the dress she wore. " Huh was I lost or something?" I replied a bit confused she then let go of me.
" Oh no silly, well grandfather sent me to look for you... I don't know what it's about though he didn't say why he needed you."
Now the uneasy feeling kicked in I just crossed my arms and turned away. " I don't want to go...." I could feel the confusion behind me also the concern.
" You have to though.. I mean maybe he found a problem or something, please Shadow do it for me."
I couldn't say no to her...it was hard I hated being in the lab Maria knew it but she didn't exactly know the reason why I didn't like it in there... she probably thought Gerald wanted me there to get check ups as in making sure everything was fine with me.  I let my guard down for Maria, it's the pouty look she gives me that makes me want to change my mind on going into the lab, I allowed her to take me to go see Gerald. " Aww come on Shadow lighten up, things will be fine." She took me by the hand and walked me toward the lab, but before we got there I wanted to stop in front of a window, it was my favorite spot on the ark. Me and Maria would spend hours looking out at Earth and the stars picturing on what it would be like to live on the planet below us.  Maria let me stopped for a moment as well to stop and stare at the planet.
" Maria.... when there is a cure and well after you get better, do you think we could go down there? I mean actually live on Earth.... do you think the people there would see me as an outcast or do you think they'd welcome me?"

Maria just smiled, I saw her turn toward me through the reflection of the glass.
" Of course we could well once I'm better. You, an outcast? I doubt they'd treat you as such i'm sure they'd welcome you."
Yeah some welcoming I got....  I thought but I didn't say it out loud.  Maria then lead me to the lab.
" alright Shadow go on in I'll wait by the window for you ok? You know I'm not allowed to go in there but you'll be fine."

The door opened in front of me, I just looked back at Maria and waved as she went back down the hallway and disappeared, after she vanished I went into the lab, just as I entered well two scientists grabbed me.

Sorry this  chapter took so long I couldn't decide on what the commander should do to Shadow....
so right now he mainly wants to get information on Shadow, the injection he gave him basically helped Shadow to fall back asleep he awoke a bit too early, the scientists thought it would be better for him to be asleep while they tested on him they didn't want him struggling as they worked.
