   Summary

   The Space Colony ARK was supposed to create the Ultimate Lifeform. They made three prototypes, out of three different DNA stabilizers. And when the ARK was attacked, all three were sent to the planet below. GUN only found one. But once he was released, intent to avenge the family he lost, finding the other survivors may become the only way to save the planet.

   Sonic, meanwhile, woke up confused, scared, and having missed fifty years of progress. He doesn't know why a man who looks like the Professor is destroying the planet, or why everyone is telling him that Shadow can't be trusted. Shadow would never hurt anyone... right? And if he did, would Sonic be powerful enough to stop him? Would he be able to bring himself to do it?

   ARK Hedgehogs AU: Sonic, Shadow and Amy were born and raised on the Space Colony ARK. They find themselves on a war-torn planet, with a very powerful Robotnik, a very angry fox and echidna, and a desperation to find each other again.
