(Few things might destroy the the film's canon so this is a AU :3)

Made to destroy. That's what Shadow was experimented to do. That was his forced purpose

After the black hedgehog was found, not long after, you were also discovered. You hated the tests you were forced to endure, the pickling of needles is what you were always feeling. Thankfully, one of your founders, Gerald Robotnik, had a granddaughter; Maria Robotnik.

She was a kind, expressive young girl, forming a bond with Shadow and quickly adapting to you as well. You were more hesitant to her welcome, but slowly but surely you also felt attached to her.

After a round of tests, you went back to the place you hated most about this damn place; the tube, or at least that's what you call it.(idk the name of the tube pls don't come for me 😭) It was a big cylinder with a strange liquid in it, the green light making it look almost something an alien would use. Right now, as you were tased into the tube, they closed it and bottom started leaking the liquid into the container. You felt claustrophobic, but what were you supposed to do?

As you rested in the cylinder, Maria sneaked into the room, looking in through the glass. Her presence awakened you, and you instinctively glared, but your gaze softened once you realized who it was. She playfully glared back at you, and took out a black pen out of her pocket, drawing a bunny with a two stars around it on the glass just to toy with you. You casted an annoyed look, but she just chuckled as she put the pen away. Then, she slowly put her hand on the glass, and you hesitated before doing the same, and you couldn't help but smile back at her as she did.
