Chapter one: Rebirth

There was no thought. There was no action. There was nothing. An eternal blackness, an eternal nothing, no feeling, no emotion, not taste, touch, smell, sight... Nothing. Just complete, thoughtless darkness in which an entity abided. Who was he? Or was he really a she? And did it matter? Well... Maybe there was thought after all in this eternal darkness. But really... Who? Why? Where? When? All these questions appeared, with no solution in between. Only contemplation. There were problems, but no solutions. There was thought, but no deed at all to speak of.

Was this death?

Or was it something else? Why was he here? When did he appear here? Who was he? He was fairly sure he was a he, though he could never be sure... But is all this thought a part of what he was? Was this really where he would be for eternity? And why is it that suddenly he felt sleepy? Why was he so... Tired...

Screens blinked, as a hunched figure sat in front of the numerous computer screens and different controls and monitors. This figure wore a white lab coat, was tall and lanky, and wore strange, black glasses that gave him a very interesting look. The figure turned about, and skated on his chair towards the giant tube that stood on the other side of the wall.

This was a very small room, poorly furnished and coldly metallic, seemingly being some sort of either a test leb or a control room. Most of the wall was occupied with screens, shelves and tools, giving this place a feel of a dentist's room. In the middle was a table, just like te one dentists used, but with slightly different tools and equipment. On the far side of the elliptic-shaped room, embedded in the wall, stood a Gen-Tube, a very large and thick glass container, full of what seemed to be light-green, jelly-likeliquid. And in this tube full of green goo floated a strange form, attached to the back wall by cables and wires.

The hunched form on the computers stood up and checked on the screens right beside the Gen-Tube, clicking several buttons, and smiling in satisfaction. This strange individual then sat back down and watched.

This individual was a scientist. A crazy, thought to be insane researcher that has disappeared from the face of Mobius a few decades ago. He was never found since, thought to be dead, while building himself a secret base and dozens of research locations. This man's name... Was Desty Nova. He was the one that has attracted Eggman's attention for a small amount of time, but no information existed anywhere about the scientist, and the info that existed was all falsity and rumors. Nova was something of a prodigy, a powerfulman with an IQ surpassing that of Eggman by several dozen. He was the epitaph of modern technology, expanding his genius over and beyond Eggman would ever even dream of.

And now, Desty Nova was rubbing his hands in glee as he started the finishing touches on his ultimate creation, the form that floated in the Gen-Tube.

Suddenly the door opened, and a strange form walked into the room. It was a mobian, a lion, one of Nova's only genetic creation so far. The Lion stood straight, his form verysleek and aerodynamic, suggesting him to be a speedster.

"So, doc. How's that guy coming along?"

"Patience, Solar... Patience. You are a mobian, blessed with many virtues. Let patience be one of them."

"Doc, stop giving me a lecture and give me a straight answer."

"Gwaha! I knew you would say such a thing, Solar. After all, your patience is very limited."

Desty Nova stood up, and turned to the tube full of green liquid and his newest creation. Smiling, he turned his head back to Solar, who stood there tapping his foot, waiting for something.

"Solar... You will have to assume the role of big brother when my new creation will come to life. It will be up to YOU to teach him."

"WHAT?"

"Now, now... Do you really think that I will be able to teach him on my ow... Ah! He's awake!"

"DOC! Don;t change the friggin' subject!"

But Nova was not listening anymore, and was standing right in front of the Gen-Tube, looking into the deep-blue eyes of his "genetic child". The creature looked about, and the green goo stirred up a bit, clearing up, and revealing the form of a strange cross between a hedgehog and a cat. Blue and black in color, this mobian-like creature was looking back with eyes that betrayed the potential for power higher than even the most potent creatures in the world. Desty Nova giggled in glee, as Solar the Lion stepped up to his side.

"So... What is his power doc?"

"Nothing yet, but be patient, my friend. He will be the one to surpass you one day."

"In speed? Pfft. Doubt it."

"Not in speed, but in the mind, my child. In the MIND."

"What will you call him?" Solar asked, scritching his head, basically giving Nova attitude, which the scientist promptly ignored.

"I will call him... Nite. Nite the Cathog."
