Sonic Revolution: Rise of the Ultimate Life Form (Prequel Story)

Sonic Revolution: Rise of the Ultimate Life Form, also shortened to Rise of the Ultimate Life Form, is the second prequel story for Sonic Revolution, written by Casey McGregor of Star Technologies. This story is the second part of the three part trilogy of prequel stories outlining the refined backstory of Shadow the Hedgehog.
==History==
Due to the change in Shadow the Hedgehog's backstory in the Sonic Revolution canon, Casey needed to create a prequel story laying out this new backstory. Due to the length of this story, it was announced that it would be spread out across three parts, with the second part release first, following Sonic Revolution: The Loved Bully's release in 2017, the first part being released mid-way through the novel's development, and the third and final part being released alongside the novel as an exclusive in the Sonic Revolution: Prequel Story Collection.
==Plot==
The plot of Rise of the Ultimate Life Form is fairly simplistic. The story starts with Professor Gerald Robotnik aboard the Space Colony ARK, leading Project Shadow, an effort to create a anthropomorphic hedgehog that can be used as a cure-all, both for medical use, and also to cure his granddaughter, Maria Robotnik, who is dying from Neuroimmune Deficiency Syndrome. As the experiment reaches its completion, Maria is escorted to the lab in the ARK, shortly before a hostile Gizoid attacks, almost killing Maria. However, just as this happens, the anthropomorph awakens, as the Gizoid smashes into its incubator, before the hedgehog beats up the Gizoid, carrying Maria out of the explosion that ensues. Maria sees the hedgehog, falling in love with him instantly. Gerald is then seen trying to find Maria after the explosion dies, realizing the hedgehog saved her, dubbing it "Shadow".
