Hi guys! I'm about to write my first fanfiction and when I'm finished, I'd like to share it with all of you!

It's called Lab Rats, and is a completely different kind of Sonic story.

Summary:
The biological lab district facility of Robotnik Industries has a nuclear meltdown. The lab remains intact, but the radiation mutates some of the lab animals left behind, and they become humanoid creatures with special abilities. The head of Robotnik Industries, the infamous Dr. Kintobar (nicknamed Eggman by some of his workers) wants them dead, believing that if they are discovered, mankind will neglect science and his industry will be destroyed, so they must escape.

This story does not take place in the normal Sonic universe and is modeled after our world.

The only featured Sonic characters are Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Blaze and Eggman.

I'll post each one a chapter at a time. Feel free to comment.

Any questions?

[RedAuthar]

Is going to feature some Non-Sonic Characters?

[ILOVEVHS]

Probably. I'll mainly focus on the Sonic characters. That means no humans hanging over their shoulders (*cough*Sonic X*cough*).

Also, Eggman isn't really a mad scientist trying to take over the world in this story. He's a normal scientist, however he will be driven to insanity later on.

[RedAuthar]

Ah.

[ILOVEVHS]

Don't expect any Chaos Emeralds, monsters or planet-destroying lasers. It's just Sonic, his friends and Eggman.

[Teirusu]

No chaos? arsagfasgafa.

Just kidding. Looks insteresting. I will read it as soon as you post it.

[ILOVEVHS]

And here is the prologue!

Lab Rats: A Sonic Fanfiction


Prologue



The workers were fleeing in panic as they heard the news. After years of bearing the worst, the facility's nuclear core was melting down. Fearing for their safety, they all attempted to escape, neglecting all possessions and technology behind them. At the same time one leading scientist, Dr. Steven Lord, desperately tried to find a solution to the problem.

"I told that huge Egg of a man that this would happen someday!" He said. "But of course, he's as stubborn as a mule, and so look where I am now!"

As he searched near the core chamber, he was wearing a full body suit to protect him from radiation. Eventually in one of the main tubes, he found a dead rat.

"I knew it! If he wasn't so cheap enough to hire an exterminator-"

One of the lights flared, shocking Dr. Lord. He quickly ran off towards the exit, when he passed by a one of the animal holding rooms. Inside were a hedgehog, a red fox, an echidna, and a cat, all escaped from their cages.

"Oh crap, I thought they got all of the test animals!"

As he ran towards the door however, a small explosion occurred from the nearby circuit board. The explosion started a small fire which blocked the door. Not knowing what to do, Dr. Lord fled the facility.

The animals escaped the room through a nearby air shaft. After exploring though the shaft, the animals exited into the main testing lab. Another circuitry explosion occurs, knocking over several chemicals onto the animals. They are also exposed to a seductive, and run all over the room looking for an exit. The seductive kicks in and the animals fall asleep.


"There was a dead rat in the core, sir,"

Some days later, Dr. Lord is talking to Dr. Ivo Kintobar.

"No wonder that facility went under. Ah well. There was no point in it anyway." Ivo says.

"But sir, we have created so many great things through the facility! What would make you think that-"

"Robotics, Steven."

"Robotics?"

"That's where the true science exists. I won't be wasting anymore time with silly little animals."

"But, sir--"

"No buts, Steven. You are being promoted to Engineer. Return to the robotics facility."

"...Yes sir."

Dr. Lord walks towards the door, then stops.

"Sir?"

"What know, Steven?"

"Some test animals were left behind and-"

"Don't worry, Steven, what's the worst that could happened happened to those creatures?"

Chapter 1: Wake Up Call


"Why does my head hurt so much?"

He stood up as he began to regain consciousness.

"That's funny, I don't remember this room being so big. Come to think of it, I feel pretty weird."

As he began to walk, he noticed a mirror.

"Something funny's goin' on."

He looked at himself in the mirror and screamed with terror.

"YAAAH! W-what happened?"

The hedgehog was now at a much bigger size, about as big as a young child, had blue fur, much larger eyes, and all of his spines now were stuck together as 5 sharp quills.

"I don't remember bein' this big, and why am I blue? What happened to me?"

The hedgehog suddenly heard a groan. Without hesitation, he rushed over to another collapsed body at a very fast speed. He doesn't notice.

"Are you okay?" the hedgehog asked.

"I think so."

The hedgehog recognizes him as the fox.

"I remember you. You were the fox in the testing chamber. Do you recognize me? I'm the hedgehog."

"You barely look like one." the fox said.

"Well, you look just as strange."

The fox looked over his body seeing his new humanoid form.

"That is true."

As he gets up the hedgehog notices something weird.

"Um, look at your tail."

"Why? What's wrong with-AAAUGH!"

The fox has a second tail.

"Whatever happened to us sure has caused some strange changes to our bodies"

Someone else in the room says "Tell me about it"

The echidna is now red, and has dreadlocks.

"You too, huh?" Says the hedgehog.

"Yeah."

"Same with me" says the cat.
She is now purple, and has some long hair on her head.

"We need to figure out what's happened to us!" ays the fox.

"How?" the hedgehog says.

"It might have something to do with those chemicals they used to test on us."

"Oh great" the echidna says. He shudders. "I have not had any fun with those since they brought me here.

"They'd probably be too weak to make us like this alone," says the cat. "Something else must've gone wrong"

"We should split up and investigate this place" the fox says.

Everyone agrees.

The four split up and into different parts of the facility.

Outside the facility are some men in big, bulky suits.

"Are you sure about this?" the first man says.

"We were hired to collect all the important items and clean the radiation off them."

"You're the boss."

The men enter through an entrance in the back.

[MagentaDrake]

That's a very interesting concept.

[ILOVEVHS]

Thanks.

[ILOVEVHS]

Sorry about the delay.



Chapter 2

The Discovery


"Maybe I can fix this."

The fox was looking at a broken circuit board.

"I know next to nothing about machines, but it's worth a shot."

He connects some wires and flips a switch and the lights immediately come on.

"Wow!" He said. "I didn't think it would be so easy!"


The lights shock the two workers in another part of the facility.

"What the hell? Why did it get so bright? I thought that meltdown shut off the circuit boards." The first man says.

"It doesn't matter." Says the second man. "Now we can see where we're going."



The hedgehog is running through the halls searching for an exit. He has had no luck, due to the facility's large size. He suddenly runs into the fox, and the two fall down.

"Sorry about that." Said the hedgehog. "Didn't see you coming."

"It's alright."

A light flashes in a darker room nearby.

"What's that?" Said the fox.

"I'll check it out."

The hedgehog runs into and out of the room at an extreme speed. The fox is amazed.

"Just a broken lamp. Nothing to worry about."

"Did you see what you just did?"

"What?"

"You went so fast!"

"I did?"

The hedgehog runs around the hall and back.

"Woah. Guess I didn't notice it."

"That was awesome!"

"Yeah, I guess it is!"



The cat enters a room full of stacks of paperwork.

"Why would anyone need this much paper?"

She grabs a sheet, flinging some dust into the air. The dust makes the cat sneeze, and the force somehow sets the paper ablaze. In shock, the cat stops on the paper with her foot, putting it out.

"Did I do that?"

Curious, she snaps her finger, producing a tiny flame in her hand.

"I think whatever happened to us did more than we think."



The echidna is wandering through the testing facility when he notices the men searching through the equipment.

"Nothing here." The second man says. "You'd think they would've had more stuff of value here."

"Meh." The first man said. "I think they took it all out already."

"Excuse me?"

The men turn around to see the echidna.

"AAAUGGH! WHAT IS THAT THING?!" The first man said.

The second man stops dead in his tracks saying only "HOLY CRAP."

"Calm down, ya idiots, I just need somehe-"

"KILL IT!!"

One of the men attempts to smash the echidna with a large metal rod, but the echidna blocks it, somehow making it bend as well. Before he can realize what has happened, the men try to hit him again and he runs off.

In another room, the hedgehog and fox hear the noise, and run off towards it.
