Prologue
"Sonic!" Sonic's father ran after him angrily as he tried to escape the castile, "Come back you disgraceful child!"
Sonic kept running speeding up as he did. He broke the sound barrier, leaving his father far behind him.
He reached the small airport on the edge of the isle of Kerr. Hopped into one of the bi-planes, and left his home behind him. Far behind him.
Chapter 1
Sonic sat up in bed in a cold sweat. He wiped the sweat from his face and checked the time. Six o'clock. He looked out the window. It was light out, and he needed a good run.
He pulled on his shoes, and tied his fire flower around his neck.
It had taken him quite a long time to accept his powers again, but he did, and he almost had complete control over it.
He got up, stretched, and ran out the door.
The protectorate sat in Vector's café. They were all worried about Sonic. He had been really agitated lately, but he refused to tell them why.
Flora walked over to Sonic and looked into his eyes intently, "you've been having Nightmares," she said finally.
Sonic looked away.
"Is that what's bothering you Sonic?" Julie-Su asked, "Its okay you can tell us about it."
"I don't wana talk about it," Sonic said into his glass of soda.
The door opened and a tall, male, red fox entered the room.
He looked very orderly and professional; he stuck out like a sour thumb in the café.
"Welcome sir," Vector greeted the man, "what can I do for you?"
"I am looking for someone," the Fox said in a dignified manner, "a Sonic the hedgehog; I have been informed that I may be able to fined him here."
"He's over there," Vector pointed to the protectorate's table.
"Thank you kind sir," the Fox approached the table, "Sir Sonic," the Fox bowed.
Sonic looked at the Fox with distaste, "what do you want?"
"I come with grave news, my lord, your father, King Hadrian, is on his death bed."
"And why is that 'grave news'?" Sonic asked dully.
"He wishes to see you," the fox said, ignoring Sonic's question.
"Well tell him to wish for something more practical," Sonic answered, taking a sip of soda.
"But, sir, it's his dieing wish," the Fox prodded.
Sonic groaned at the ceiling, "If I go will you leave me alone?"
"Yes sir," the Fox answered.
"Okay I'll go,"
"Thank you sir, thank you-"
"On one condition,"
"Sir?"
"They come too," Sonic indicated Flora and the protectorate.
"Yes sir of course," the Fox said, "we shall depart tomorrow," the fox left.
"Uh…" Knuckles looked at Sonic, "who was that?"
"Crevan," Sonic answers, "my body guard."
"You have a body guard?" Jet exclaimed, "I wish I had a body guard."
"I thought Storm was your body guard," Julie-Sue cut in.
"Hun, I never thought of it that way," Jet mused.
"Why do we have to come?" Rouge asked.
"I don't want to go alone," Sonic said silently.
"Why not?" Flora asked.
Sonic was silent for a moment. He blinked back a few tears, "I'm afraid of my father."
"Why?"
Sonic just shook his head.
"Don't worry Sonic," Flora stroked Sonic's cheek, "we'll be with you, won't we?"
The protectorate nodded.
Sonic pressed his lips together, he wanted to say that that made him feel better, but it didn't.
