Sonic the Hedgehog: Chaos Summon
Chapter One: A New Evil

The sun was shinning across the big field, and once again, our hero's, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails were spread out across the grass relaxing. Nothing was going wrong. There was no sign of Dr. Robotnick, which was very lucky. Last time Robotnick had cooked up a metal version of Sonic, which had nearly killed them. They'd gotten away swiftly, and unharmed. All except for Knuckles, who had lost somebody to Robotnick. An Echidna girl with the same distinct qualities as Knuckles. The girl's hair was a bit longer than Knuckles', but she was pink. She wore necklaces upon necklaces that she said were supposed to be magic, and give her strength. She had what looked like sandals made out of palm trees, but that couldn't be. An Echidna's king's daughter she was. But she found knuckles. There had to be more echidnas around, but her story was different.

War was to break out upon the Echidna race, so she found a being named Chaos. He was a gift giver with powers of destruction. In return for her fleeing, the Echidna's lost the war, and became extinct. Except for two. Knuckles the Echidna, and a girl named Tikal. Knuckles was left to guard the master emerald from evil, which he did for a long time, until Robotnick destroyed his island. Tikal had traveled to the future in order to escape the war, but everybody else had perished in it. Knuckles had lived because he was on a floating island called Angel Island where he would stay for eternity to guard the master emerald. Meeting Tikal made him believe that maybe somewhere, there was a race of Echidnas, who had escaped. But once he found out that Tikal had traveled from the past, he gave up hope, and started to believe he was the only one left of his kind, besides for Tikal of course. Dr. Robotnick made a metal version of Sonic, which he used to kill Tikal. But Sonic and Knuckles together destroyed the imposter sonic. The one problem was that Knuckles was once again alone. A blue Hedgehog jump to his feet in the middle of the field, and looked around. Big white gloves on his hands, and high tops on, he seemed as if he was in search of something. The red Echidna, and the orange two tailed fox sat straight up and looked around as well. They could tell something was around them. Something was there.

"Sonic," the fox said. "What's there?" He looked around quickly to see no movement, or any sign of anything living for miles. He sat back down and then saw it. A girl, wearing a red and white dress shot into the air and flew to the ground in front of them, with a giant hammer in her hand.

"Hey Amy" Sonic said calmly as if nothing happened.

"Hey Sonic, Knuckles, Tails." Amy said waving to the Echidna and the fox sitting on the ground as well. Amy sat with her arms slanted in back of her, and a grin on her face.

"So, what brings you here Amy?" Knuckles asked.

"Nothing much, besides a rumor I heard!" Amy said enthusiastically. Tails and Sonic shot straight up and looked directly at her. Knuckles remained in his calm, laid back position, acting like he never even heard what Amy had just said.

"What's it about?" Tails asked as he stood up. Sonic followed tails as he stood up, and then Amy did too. Knuckles just sat there with his eyes closed, listening, but not showing any sign of it.

"Well," Amy started. "Remember how Tikal" Knuckles shot his eyes open, and stood up as fast as he could. About Sonics size, he was taller than Amy, and cast a shadow onto her face.

"What about Tikal?" Knuckles asked quickly. "Well," Amy started up again, giving Knuckles and odd look for disturbing her story so quickly. "Remember how Tikal told us about Chaos, the Gift Giver."

"Yes," Knuckles said. "The one who transported her here, so that she wouldn't die in the war." Knuckles replied. Amy nodded her head with her eyes closed, and looked back to Sonic.

"There's legend that he can be resurrected. But you need to collect three amulets to do so." Amy looked around as Tails sat down with a confused look on his face.

"Did you realize that a lot of things use amulets to summon?" Tails said. He put his hand on his chin as he thought hard about this statement.

"Anyway!" Amy said in a furious voice. "This guy, Chaos, has very destructive powers, and can destroy things with one snap of his fingers. The guy who told me said that he had a weak point, but it was unknown. Well, when this amulet is combined with a same species of Chaos, it creates Chaos. Well, a copy of Chaos anyway." Amy said. It was obvious that she was proud of he skill to remember the whole tale.

"Well, what species is Chaos?" Tails asked.

"Nobody knows. But he lived with the Echidnas, so there is a slight chance that he was an Echidna, just like Knuckles." Amy said. They all looked at Knuckles, who had his eyes closed tight. Obviously he was thinking about something very important to him. Sonic had a bet that it was Tikal. Knuckles had not told Sonic about his time travel when they were going to fight metal Sonic. He went back to an ancient Echidna civilization, and seen Tikal argue with her father over the war. He'd met other Echidna's and received gifts from some of them. Power ups basically. Tikal looked straight at him, and then started to cry. She'd run away, and into the temple where the royal family had to live. He opened his eyes with the up most concentration, and a look that could kill.

"Is this Chaos thing completely evil. Can he grant any wishes?" Knuckles asked.

"I think he is both a little evil, and a little good. Depending on who summons him." Amy said. Knuckles looked to the ground thinking hard about the subject. And then he turned on his heel and shot off wit his gloves shot straight backwards.

"Knuckles is getting faster." Tails said to Sonic.

"It's because he threw one a necklace as he left. He's going after the amulet. He wants something that only Chaos can give him, but what could it be?" Sonic asked them.

Knuckles was shooting through the forest, and then slammed, head first into something. He hadn't seen anything there a minute ago, and there was no way he could have over looked it. He rubbed his head for about a second, and then jumped up to see a black Echidna standing straight up, with his arms crossed in front of him. This Echidna had distinctive red marks running around his eyes, and arms. Kind of like Shadow in an echidna form, but Knuckles could tell that it wasn't Shadow, because he was a hedgehog, just like Sonic. Knuckles stood up, matching the other Echidna's height.

"I am Chaos." The Echidna said. Knuckles' face went form fine to almost stumped. "Chaos????" Knuckles said in his mind. Chaos? This was the guy Amy was just talking about. But who ever summoned him would need to know where a Echidna was.

"Who summoned you?" Knuckles said. Knuckles eyed Chaos over once or twice, noticing that he looked exactly like knuckles but black. He had the same necklace on, and about 5 bracelets on. They ran up the lower extension of his arm, and then he held up his fist, showing Knuckles an amulet engraved into his gloves. It was a diamond shaped figure, with a fireball in the middle. "But who summoned you?" Knuckles asked once again. Chaos just closed his eyes, and then a flame appeared in Chaos' hand. Knuckles stepped backwards, stumbling over a branch, and fell to the ground. Never had Knuckles seen anything close to what he'd just seen. Nobody Knuckles had ever heard of could make Fireballs appear into their hands.

"There is a Echidna held captive by a man. His name is Dr. Robotnick." Chaos said. Knuckles' face turned to shock, and then to anger.

"Robotnick has an Echidna captive?" Knuckles said to Chaos.

"Yes, a female Echidna. She goes by the name of Tikal." Chaos said. Knuckles jumped up onto his feet even faster than he had in the grassy meadow.

"Tikal???" Knuckles asked. "Are you sure?" Knuckles asked again. Chaos nodded his head, and then made the fireball disappear from his hand.

"Dr. Robotnick has held her captive for sometime now. She only knew where the amulet pieces in which was used to summon me." Chaos said. Knuckles then got the impression that Chaos was evil. Robotnick had summoned him, so he couldn't be telling Knuckles this just for kicks, unless he was toying with them.

"Has he hurt her in any way?" Knuckles asked in rage.

"Yes." Chaos replied. "She would not give him the information he needed to find the amulet, so he tortured her, for almost a year." Chaos looked into the eyes of Knuckles, it wouldn't had surprised either of them I fire appeared into the eyes of Knuckles, and knocked both of them off their feet.

"She is okay now, but Dr. Robotnick refuses to let her go." Chaos said. Knuckles looked up at Chaos, and then turned around.

"Follow me." Knuckles said. Chaos stepped forward and walked along with Knuckles to where ever Knuckles was leading them.
