After another attempted failure in creating a cure for his sickly granddaughter, Maria, Professor Gerald Robotnik was getting desperate. His star pupil, Doctor Maci Garcia, offered a solution, creating the Ultimate Cure, Project: EMBER.
Under the guidance of her professor, Doctor Maci was successful in creating Project: EMBER. Not ready to be introduced to the others, Ember was kept away in a different place in the Ark. When her test results came up with a high success rate for a cure, she was soon introduced to Maria, Abe, and Shadow. And thus a somewhat beautiful friendship blossomed.
But it didn't last for long.

shadow the hedgehog x reader : Blood in the Water
Y/N is a new transfer agent from S.H.I.E.L.D., reassigned to G.U.N. after years of working solo. Her record was nearly spotless-until the day she lost control. In a moment of desperation, she used a forbidden form of water manipulation: controlling the blood in someone else's body, bending it to her will. It was a line that should never have been crossed. Given one last chance to redeem herself, Y/N is sent to G.U.N. and assigned a partner-a shock in itself. An even bigger shock? Her partner is the base's top operative: Shadow the Hedgehog. Thrown into a tightly knit, high-pressure system, Y/N must learn to trust, adapt, and master her powers before they consume her. But as missions grow riskier and tensions rise, one question looms: will she forge a bond with Shadow and keep her promise never to cross the line again... or will the lure of chaos pull her back into the darkness, leaving everyone running for their lives? This story draws inspiration from 'love like war' by @maispam, the ATLA/LOK franchise and the Zodiac Academy book series. I don't own anything im just having fun. we need more shadow x oc/reader fanfics. also I imply Y/N as human but if that irks you be creative and make Y/N a hedgehog. I don't really go into the human anatomy in this story lol so it should be easy enough to use your wild imagination :)Complete

Sonic the Hedgehog: Project Ruby
Dr. Robotnik has created many weapons in his quest to conquer Mobius-but none like this. Born from the remains of Metal Sonic and fueled by a powerful Phantom Ruby prototype, Project Ruby is the ultimate hunter: a cold, efficient white fox built to eliminate Sonic, Shadow, and anyone who stands in Robotnik's way. Stronger than Neo Metal. Smarter than Infinite. Faster than any machine that came before. But something isn't right. As Ruby is unleashed upon the world, small cracks begin to form-flashes of hesitation, moments of curiosity. And when a strange error in his system causes him to question his own purpose, Ruby finds himself facing an impossible question: Is he more than the machine he was built to be? As destruction spreads and loyalties shift, Sonic and his friends must confront a new kind of threat-one that can think, adapt, and feel. A high-octane story of identity, power, and redemption, Project Ruby is the beginning of a new chapter in the Sonic universe-one where the greatest danger... may become its greatest hope.Complete

Sonic X - Project: Genesis {Male! OC}
Before Sonic and his friends ever appeared in the human world due to Chaos Control, G.U.N. - or Guardian Units of Nations - had already created a life form that surpassed even the likes of the "Project: Shadow" Nobody could have guessed that they, without the brilliant mind of the fabled Dr. Gerald Robotnik, that they could have made such a valuable military asset. "Project: Genesis," designated as Unit-02 due to him being the second coming of the "Ultimate Life Form," was an attempt at making a truly loyal weapon that would win any conflict with just the flick of the wrist. Using the DNA of Shadow the Hedgehog and harnessing the Chaos Energy within his blood, they created a clone, a superior entity wielding abilities to rival that of a god. He was beautiful- perfect even, and yet there was a flaw in his design. For all his power, his purpose for his existence remained firmly out of his grasp, and his "creators" didn't bother helping. Even with the lingering words of Ambertwo... "You're alive, and life is wonderful." Her final words echoed like a never ending mantra in his mind filled with so many different thoughts and questions. When Unit-02 woke up in the real world after being fully developed, the ones who created him never expected for their creation to rebel against them so... quickly. Fire and ruin was brought down upon them as a psychic force greater than any other destroyed the facility as quickly at the Ultimate Life Form's awakening. In the aftermath of the carnage, within the flaming wreckage of divine wrath, a man approached 02 with an offer- to master his power and conquer the world. Yet, this brought no satisfaction to him as he learned to master this seemingly chaotic, this uncontrollable power. He rebelled against this man, too, and came to the realization that humans, not matter who they were, couldn't be trusted, and retreated into the nature and never to be seen again.
