Chapter 1-The Awakening[br]
[br]

5 isolation capsules, each with a being in it, filled to the brim with a translucent amber liquid. The Laboratory is spotless, white and gleaming from top to bottom. Scientists running around with test tubes, new information on pages, and holographic computers on a wristband.[br]
29^th January 2060. An everyday schedule, until an anomalous result came in from 4 of the 5 capsules.[br]

“Hold up, Re-run the test again” one scientist blurted out, sounding like he was scared out of his wits.[br]

“Still the same, sir. Brain activity is off the charts!”[br]

The icon of the middle capsule was flashing red on the computer screen very rapidly, then the furthest on both the right and the left. Ten seconds afterwards, the last of the anomalous capsules activated its warning icon second from left. Then a set of eyes snapped open in the middle capsule, with azure blue irises.[br]
[br]

“He’s awake!”, whimpered another scientist. “Let them out.”[br]

The amber liquid drained from the capsules, one by one.[br]
The being who awakened was a yellow coloured wolf, a 15 year old that never aged. His four distinct features is 6 unmissable scars, one on the right side of the face, the right side of the chest, the right arm and leg, a scar in the shape of a cross, and a scar that appears on both sides of the tail. Lightning tattoos that reached from the shoulder blades to the tips of his fingers. He was wearing one blue polymetal glove with a circular glow on the back of his hand. The last feature is rainbow aura crystals on the back, the base of the tail, and a fringe that obscured the left eye. He was heavily shackled round the wrists. His name is Mikey “Voltage” Prower.[br]

“Where am I?” He uttered underneath his breath, looking around slowly.[br]
No-one dared answer back.[br]

Chain the echidna then stirred from his sleep. He is a blood red colour with black and a darker red dreadlock tips, Amethyst purple eyes, 13 years of age and unchanged in appearance. His black clay arms has a lava disc in the shoulders, which is attached to a chest with a moon crest. His legs are cybernetic, with flame decals, connected to polymetal feet, which can convert into hover boots. He was also shackled but by his chest.[br]

“Man, I feel groggy” he muttered with the utmost pain.[br]

“Chain, Is that you?” Mikey asked with great surprise.[br]

“Voltage? Hey, where are we?”[br]

“Don’t know.”[br]

“Well, don’t bother asking me” A voice piped up from Mikey’s far right.[br]

“Thorn?”[br]

“Yup, I’m here, Chain.”[br]

The Ravenwolf known as Thorn is a dark green colour, sea blue eyes, with scruffy black hair, massive raven wings and a leather sleeveless jacket and black denim jeans. Under his jacket is a red and white shirt, and chains attached to both sides of the jeans. His age is unknown to his friends but his appearance was unchanged. Like the others, he was shackled round the wrists.[br]

“Pities sake. Where are we!?!?” Thorn called out with increasing frustration.[br]

“Detroit, Michigan.” A odd but familiar voice replied to him.[br]

“Who the hell?” Thorn was confused by the voice.[br]

“Wait a minute, that sounds familiar. Rogue? I thought you were dead?”[br]

Rogue the bat, supposedly killed at the ARK, was a very light grey colour, and heavily scarred at the back and chest, both after effects of what happened to him. Heavy azure blue irises and dark purple wings that reach from the top of his head to the top of the soles on his shoes.[br]

“Yeah, so did I.” With that, Rogue breaks the shackles from his wrists with one firm tug and walks out of the capsule, unaware of the consequences.[br]
[br]

In an instant, his eyes dilated and dropped to his knees, red electricity visibly shooting through his body[br]

“ROGUE!!!” Chain bellowed in shock, irises turning black in destructive anger, starting to break the chest shackle.[br]

“Wait a minute--”[br]

“CHAIN STOP!” Rogue Purposefully interrupting Mikey and Thorn.[br]

Chain instantly stopped his rage, realising the penalty for escaping.[br]

“Well, well ,well. You finally woke up after all these years” a smug voice thunderously pronounced, making them instantly look towards the door. [br]

Eggman. Still wearing the clothes from fifty nine years ago, only ageing a minute bit. Mikey, snarling furiously like someone stealing his only memory of his family.[br]
[br]

“What the heck do you want, Egg-guff?” Thorn subjected Eggman.[br]

“Better watch your mouth, Bird Brain” Eggman replying instantly, pressing a silver button. Thorn flared up as lightning coarsed through his body, immediately immobilising him, for three seconds.[br]

Chain, adverted his eyes, and grudgingly inhibiting himself from breaking his shackle.[br]

“What I want is” he paused for a few seconds, “for you to work for my rebel neutralisation force, with my newest creation as the captain--”[br]

“W-Wait a minute, newest creation?” Chain shouted, gravely startled.[br]

“Yes, newest.” He then turned towards the scientists. “Let him out.”[br]

“Y-y-y-yes sir”.[br]

The last capsule was then drained, and opened. The creature, walked out of the capsule, and turned towards Mikey.[br]

“I would like you to meet “Project: Vertigo”, the ultimate life form.”[br]

Rogue smirked at the comment “Ultimate Life form”. “A Hedgesquirrel?”[br]

“I wouldn’t laugh if I were you, he was programmed to use chaos control and use guns and his Dragon blade to more effect than you can use your psychic control.” Eggman was smug as ever.[br]

Rogue was clearly offended by the comment, glowered at the being.[br]

Vertigo was purple with blood red highlights on his spines, arms, legs and tail. The tufted spines, obscuring his face, with blood red tips. The crest is a white diamond like on a pack of cards. His gloves and boots was highlighted with a chaos purple energy. His expression is fixed in an angered state.[br]
[br]

“And what if we say no?” Thorn managed to ask while breathing heavily from the last shocking he got.[br]

Eggman ignored Thorn and stared directly into Mikey’s eyes, still bearing his teeth with fury. “You will be killed. Right here, right now.”[br]

Mikey, looked down in anguish. “Seeming as it’s the only option, fine, we’ll work for you.” he utters with resentment.[br]

“Good, release them.”[br]
[br]

The shackles instantly disappeared. Thorn dropped out of the capsule and landed flat on his chest. Chain, straight away, checked on his condition.[br]

“I expect you to be out there in at least three days.” With that, he walked out of the lab, laughing in his usual tone.[br]

Vertigo, stared at each and every one of his “new comrades”. Chain and Thorn was paying no attention to him, Rogue was getting up from the immobilisation pad, and Mikey directly stared at him, unflinching. Vertigo smirked then walked out.[br]

Thorn was up but was leaning on Chain. “Okay Voltage, How the heck are we going to get out of this?” Thorn evidently ticked off with him.[br]

“Yeah, we’re playing into the hands of Eggman!” Chain adding to the rage.[br]

“We try to get answers for why I’m like this,” Rogue replied.[br]

“Then we try to get out of this mess” snarled Mikey, Before destroying the capsule he was in with a destructive thunder punch in fury. He knew that they had to get out, by any means necessary.
