Journal of an Ultimate Lifeform: Chapter 1 ~ Life Upon the ARK
#1 of Journal of an Ultimate Lifeform
This was my first fanfiction. Ever.
I wanted to do a Shadow story, so I figured, why not have him tell his side of the story through a journal?
Shadow and all related characters are owned by SEGA and Sonic Team.
Honestly, I don't know why I'm doing this. I don't even LIKE writing. But Maria said it was a good idea, so here I am. Aside from the Professor, she's the only one I trust around this place. The place is Space Colony ARK. I was created here. Ever since then, I've been wondering why. Should I have been born? If so, is it important? Or is it all a lie? Maria says that everyone has a purpose, and that we just have to find it. That makes sense, I guess. Every now and then she and I look down at the planet we orbit around. It's called Earth and it's where all the humans live. Sometimes I wonder if my purpose is down there. I'm a bit nervous about what I may find, though .
Blast. The Professor's coming. Time for more irritating tests, I suppose.

Lately, Gerald's been seen with a ridiculous-looking gold robot. He says it's called "Gizoid". Aside from the crappy name, there's supposed to be more to the thing than it looks. It's been imitating his every move and won't listen to anybody but him. It even ignores me. Oh well. It's not my concern. If he wants to play with his toys, that's fine by me.
Heh. This writing has actually been good for me. Looks like Maria was right, once again.

Sorry I haven't written in a while. Things have been sorta hectic around here. The research experiments, the "Artificial Chaos" had gotten unruly and attacked everyone on the colony. Maria informed me about this, and I took care of the problem. I wonder what could've caused them to act like that...

The Professor had to give the Gizoid to the military to some reason. He had a look of dread on his face as he did so. Oddly, I have a bad feeling about it as well. Perhaps it's nothing, but still...
Lately, Maria's been looking a bit uneasy. Frail, one might say. I asked her about it, but she simply gave me a sad look. I thought it best not to bother her about it.
Maria is my one and only friend on the colony. We've shared so much and I feel a sense of peace whenever I'm near her. She's like a sister to me. If something were to happen to her...I don't know what I'd do...
