*•Eggman•*

It was a normal night. Sonic was at Tails' workshop eating a chili dog, when suddenly he got a distress signal from an abandoned workshop. He was feeling kind of tired that night, so you offered to go take of it for him.

So, after a few minutes of running to make it to the abandoned facility that looked too new to be abandoned, you stopped to think for a moment; “It looks perfectly new..why does it say it was abandoned…?” You thought. But you shrugged it off and ran inside.

Once you did, you found multiple Chao trapped inside a cage, two scientists quickly flanked you on both sides.

“Dammit…we put up all this trouble to catch Sonic, but one of his furry little friends came instead..” One scientist says.

“Oh well…This one will do.” The other one sneered with a sick grin. You were about to put up a fight, but then they threatened the Chao by electrocuting them (somehow). You quickly put your hands up as your heart pounded.

”Okay—OKAY!! Just don't hurt the Chao!!” You said inbetween gritted teeth. You cared for the harmless little creatures—

They shot a Chao.

The Chao laid there—moving but whimpering in pain as the bullet hit it. It was bleeding out. You let out a distressed shriek as you ran over to it—taking out some bandages and wrapping it around the small fairy-like creature’s wound. You were shaking.

Who the fuck were these monsters—and why the fuck were they doing this..?

The scientists took you into some random experimenting room, putting you asleep as they cut your Achilles tendons so you couldn't run away and escape.

The Chao stuck with you.

You decided to name the Chao ‘Berry’ since its color resembled the colors you'd see on a berry.

You kept putting up fights with the scientists though, which showed your unwavering determination and fighting spirit. They proceeded to harm and damage you—you almost took out a random scientist’s eye once.

You were gone for a week.

Sonic was worried, shit—EVERYONE was worried. But the one who was worried the most?

Eggman.

Your enemy—... worried about you.

On a certain day, you finally snapped and knocked out multiple scientists, holding Berry close as you stumbled and walked through the white and grey walled corridors, stumbling past many rooms as Berry let out a small "Chao...". You then heard a voice.

“Damn it…where the hell do they keep their supplies…a good base should have plenty!!”

It was Eggman. He came scavenging and searching for supplies for his new base. You didn't expect to bump into him in this hellhole though.

“What the—Watch where you’re going you clumsy—...{{user}}..?” Eggman shouted then said. He looked down at you. You looked…traumatized—hurt. But most of all: in pain. His eyes widened under his glasses as he looked down at you, then they narrowed when he saw you trembling—while holding Berry close.

..What the hell happened?
