We have received yet another G.U.N. Mission from the Commander through a hologram in the helicopter. He says that we're investigating some sort of ruined building that's been into ashes for about 3 decades. Not only that, but there's the real reason why we should check that place out. A few elements in there have survived the fire. Especially those in the basement.
Wow. Okay. Maybe it's no wonder why the place has a basement in it. The things there would've exploded and be burned to ashes if it weren't for this room, I think.
But by the time I hear my name, there's some kind of familiar feeling about the place the Commander was talking about. It feels as if I've been there since the very beginning. Since I first set my eyes on anything! It must be Professor Lucas' Lab!
Honestly, it's been so long ever since I woke up with amnesia. I might be a little occupied with exploring the outside world with my adoptive family with myself meeting my chao friends along the way.
After our conversation with the Commander, I suddenly hear Comono's voice in my head.
Is everything alright?
I then, decide to answer in thought now that I know the Langcomns' culture and purpose. I'm fine. It's just... There's something familiar about this place. It could be my father's lab.
Yeah, I get it, he says in my mind.
Well, obviously, it has some sort of connection with me, I think.
Yeah, exactly.
I decide to sit back, relax and think of theories on what would happen if I enter the basement along with Shield Alliance and Team Dark, though I feel a tingle of nervousness inside of me.
I notice Shadow's eyes fixing on me with a look. I think he notices something must be wrong with me. I should've hid my tingle of nervousness inside of me, but it looks like I'm one second late. His facial expression also says that we might need to talk when we're alone.
Nonetheless, I exhale softly and quietly before sitting back. Then, I relax and think of things that always get me motivated.
Soon, we have arrived.
We exit the helicopter. One by one. First being Shadow, then me. Next is Savvy like always whenever she's sent on a mission with us. Next is Comono, then Bearace, then Juniper. Rosy is behind Bearace and Mystico is flying beside Juniper. Rouge is next, then Shania flies out of the helicopter on my side. Omega is next and the two pilots in the helicopter are the last ones to go out.
The first thing we notice before us are shattered pieces of the roof. As I take a few steps forward, I can hear another few steps following me, but they stop because it is believed that I have some sort of connection with this place. I'm beginning to get a chance to take a look at those features.
Pieces of wood. Even the tiniest ones. Shattered pieces of glass. Shards of wood from the door and posts. Ash covering the pieces. Smoke makes me scrunch up my nose in disgust. Chemicals are still scattered eveywhere. But where's the basement?
I start looking around and investigate other features. I'm also keeping my eyes on the secret door leading to the basement. Turns out, I find none.
After a few minutes of investigating, two robotic hands start to lift up a large piece of a roof. Ash starts to rain in front of Omega. Under the large piece is a wooden plate.
I look up at Omega.
"Thank you," I whisper.
"No problem," he says.
I slightly nod in response. I look ahead for the direction to the wooden plate. Turns out, only small vacant areas are available. The only large vacant area available is surrounding the wooden plate. The rest are being filled with shattered pieces and chemical liquids coming from Professor Lucas' Lab. I don't really know what will happen if I step on the chemical, but whatever it is, it can be really dangerous.
After at least ten seconds, I tip toe on vacant areas just so I could have no problem being cut by tiny pieces of glass and being splintered by wood.
Once I arrive at the wooden plate, I kneel down nearby it. Then, my hand reaches for the plate and I knock it. After I knock a few times, I decide to lift up the wooden plate and put it aside.
And there it is.
A hole that can fit not only humans, but its space is also made for those whom my father fully trusts, I think. Obviously, it seems like the space is made for me because I'm his daughter and he's my creator/father.
I decide to take one final glance at Omega.
"Be careful in there," he says.
"I will," I reply.
Then, I take one final glance at Rouge, Shadow, Savvy, Comono, two other G.U.N. troopers and my five chao friends. I especially have a soft look in my eyes when they fix on Shadow.
He nods in response. Then, beyond what I seek in his eyes, I can tell there's a mix of worry and a feeling that he knows I'm capable of being safe. I nod back in response mentally telling him I'll be okay.
Rouge gives me an encouraging wink and so as Savvy. But Savvy's feelings beyond her wink tells me there's an opposite of encouragement. But I know I'll do my best. I see the five chao waving at me.
"Be careful in there!" says Bearace.
"Be safe!" says Juniper.
"Make sure you have all the information you need," says Mystico.
"Please, come back to us," says Rosy.
"I know you'll do, Runa!" says Shania.
As for Comono, his telepathic voice runs in my head, Be aware of what's happening. Come back when you have all the information you need.
I will. Don't worry, guys, I think.
With that being thought, my body sinks in the hole.
Sliding between walls of dirt is the first thing I feel after I sink my body in this hole. It feels like I'm in a bunny's burrow except that my feet are the first to enter. After a few seconds, they finally land on the ground.
The next thing I see before my eyes are bumpy slopes. I carefully step down the slope while my hands support my balance by gently touching the dirty walls. As I go further, the slope is becoming stairs.
I carefully walk downstairs while my fingers reach the walls' direction outward to maintain my balance. Soon, I'm at the bottom of the stairs.
Pictures, red yarns between pins and written papers are flying on the walls. Files and papers scatter on tables before me. Even multiple computers and wires are there. Before all this is the long rectangular table. Above it is a large light bulb with a few organized tools hanging on the robotic arms. And ontop of the rectangular table... is the pod.
I never really expected this basement to be an exact place where I was created. I walk to the pod to examine it. After my examination, I get a chance to finally look at the interiors. Curiosity takes over me. My hand reaches for the glass pod where a head is seen. Once my hand makes contact with it, I imagine myself lying in there.
My thoughts are cut off when I hear Shadow speaking to me through my walkie talkie in my right ear. "Hey, Runa. Is everything alright in there?"
My finger reaches for the walkie talkie and reply,"Yeah. Just checking out the pod where I was exactly born."
"The basement is where you're exactly born?" asks Rouge.
"Yeah. But when my eyes are first set in the world, there were no... pictures scattered like these. I gotta go investigate them," I reply.
"Okay. Be careful in there, Runa," says Shadow.
"Don't worry. I know I will," I say. "I'll be back soon. I promise."
Then, we both hang up.
And off I go to investigate the files and pictures available here in this basement. Not only scientific equations are there, but I never knew my father is also a mathematician. No wonder he works so hard to create me. I seek information through the pictures on the wall. Equations are lying everywhere on the walls. My eyes look carefully and cautiously for any pictures on the wall.
Then, what I see on my northeast corner makes my eyes widen in shock. There's a picture of the Space Colony ARK along with some blurred pictures surrounding it. What could he have possibly created me for with some connection with the ARK? Suddenly, I have some sort of feeling. A feeling of knowing what I'm created for. Or should I say, who?
I then, begin to seek information from the folders and papers scatter around the table to not let myself jump to conclusions. Everything I see is nothing but more scientific equations, mathematical equations and those... pictures. Relating to the interiors of the Space Colony ARK. Especially a few pictures of some... black blur. There's also a hint of red in the picture.
My eyes widen in complete shock.
It's hard for me to not believe that I'm created for Shadow the Hedgehog. Right? Before I start pointing out why, a needle is shot through my right shoulder and I collapse on the ground. Then, the next thing I know, everything is all black.
