1: Broken Seal

Lightning flashed across the sky as the storm chasing the hooded figure running towards the mountain raged on. The hooded figure panted as she ran as fast as she could towards the site that she had never hoped to return to. She clutched the green chaos emerald in her hand as it glowed brightly, indicating that something wasn't quite right.

She had a feeling that she knew what it meant; she hoped that it wasn't true.

The wind picked up as she become more and more agitated the closer she got to the base of the mountain. Memories that she had tried to repress for thousands of years kept flooding back and she pulled at her fur as she tried to force herself to focus on the task at hand. She would not have a breakdown, not when she needed to stay focused now more than ever.

The green chaos emerald continued to glow brightly and this made her panic even more. The only reason it would be glowing like this was if the owner's power is getting stronger which would have to mean…she was alive.

The hooded figure looked around as she tried to determine if she had been followed before slipping into the small cave at the base of the mountain where she had hidden the seal. The storm continued to howl outside as the sky reacted to her emotions and she quickly shot a lightning bolt out of her hand at the torch on the wall. The torch instantly caught fire and illuminated the small cave, reflecting off the small crystals sticking out of the wall in random directions.

The light finally touched the back of the cave where a small tombstone was. Ancient writing was engraved upon it and many old, shrivelled up flowers lay around the grave left by pilgrims over the many centuries. Her sister would've liked that.

She pulled her hood down and shook out her light purple quills before tapping her finger on the wall three times. The secret compartment opened and the purple hedgehog immediately made a grab for the small gold and glass necklace that was inside. She winced however when sharp pieces of broken glass cut through her gloves and into her skin.

Shards of glass? That meant the seal had to be broken!

Ignoring the pain, she yanked the necklace out and gasped in horror when she saw that it was broken and…empty. The familiar bright light of her sister's spirit was gone. Someone must have broken into the tomb and smashed it. But why? She was one of the only people left alive who knew about the seal. The secret had died with all the other few people who knew. Who could've done this and for what purpose?

The purple hedgehog shook her head as she threw the necklace to the ground as she plotted her next move. Her sister was alive somewhere. Reincarnated, but alive. How long had the seal been broken? Her sister could be any age now. She could be a new born baby or an elderly woman. It would take all her skill to find her. She looked down at the green chaos emerald in her hand and smiled.

She could make this situation work to her advantage.

"Station Square continues to be hit by freak storms that continue to roll in. Meteorologists are saying that this weather is set to continue on into next week with stronger storms set to hit the area –"

The TV signal cut off as a huge bolt of lightning struck overhead, waking Sonic up from his nap.

"Whoa, these storms seem to be getting worse." Sonic noted in annoyance. Storms meant water falling from the sky and water was wet which made awful conditions for running in. Sonic hated water at the best of times and he hated it even more when it fell from the sky. He felt like he had been trapped in Tails' house for years and he felt like he was going to go insane.

"Don't remind me." Tails shuddered as a loud clap of thunder echoed through the now quiet house.

"Ya'know it's just lightning, it can't hurt you inside the house." Sonic chuckled as Tails continued to shiver. "Your fear is completely irrational."

"I could say the same to you about water." Tails retaliated and Sonic stuck his tongue out at him.

"Touché" He mumbled as he tried to make himself more comfortable on the couch.

"Lightning could strike the aerial and send high voltage electric currents through the house which could cause a spark and then that spark could set everything on fire and then we'd all die!" Tails gasped out as he began to panic even more.

Sonic groaned. "Tails, chill. Nothing like that will happen and if it did, you know that I'd get you out of here before the smoke even has time to rise." He reassured.

Tails took a deep breath and nodded, calming down a little.

"I wonder what's causing all these sudden storms." Tails mused. "The conditions haven't been right for them."

"I don't care." Sonic replied. "I just want them to end soon. I need bright sunny days; perfect for running in." His legs twitched at the thought. He hated being stuck inside, but it was better than being stuck out in the torrential rain.

Tails shook his head at how jittery Sonic was being.

"You can shake your head buddy, but who knows what schemes Eggface has been up to during the storms." Sonic sighed as he looked out the window at the dark clouds that concealed all signs that it was the middle of the day.

"Eggman sure has been quiet lately." Tails noted.

"No doubt the old doctor is up to something. He never goes quiet without good reason to. I wonder what new machine he would've made for me to smash." Sonic chuckled before yelling out, "Hey look! The sky is clearing!"

"Sonic wait, I think it might be…!" Tails tried to protest, but Sonic had already dashed out the door. "The eye of the storm."

"Woohoo! Sweet fresh air!" Sonic yelled joyfully as it felt good to stretch his legs again. The wind had died down and the rain had stopped. His shoes squelched on the slightly flooded grass, but he didn't mind. It just felt good to get out of the house.

He began weaving in and out of the trees when a sudden noise caught his attention. It sounded like some sort of animal dying. He skidded to a halt and listened carefully as he heard the horrible squealing sound again.

Sonic began to follow the sound carefully, making sure not to spook whatever the creature was. He pushed a bush aside and gasped at what he saw: sat slouched under an oak tree, blowing his nose as he cried into a handkerchiefs, was doctor Eggman.
