Chapter 1: 8:46am
New York City Lower Manhattan
The gang looked up to see a huge explosion from the North Tower of the World Trade Center, Sonic, Tails and Manic were transfixed at the building, not realizing that aircraft and building debris were falling towards them, Sonia and Knuckles spotted this, and quickly shouted,
Sonia: Get out the way that stuff is heavy and deadly.
Knuckles: Oh my god what just happened?
Sonia: I don't know but this is big, it looks like this was definitely not planned.
The violet colored hedgehog pulled out her cell phone and called up Amy from their hotel room in Brooklyn. She was just waking up.
Amy: Hello, Sonia what's going on, hey what's all that screaming?
Sonia tried to wait until the chaos of people gasping screaming, panicking lowered so she can get a semi clear volume.
Sonia: Amy, turn on the television to one of the news stations, there is something big going on in Manhattan, but I have no idea what is going on, I am just hearing an explosion.
Amy: Oh my god, is everyone else alright, let me look outside.
She paused for a minute and looked outside, and to her horror she saw the north tower of the world trade center in flames.
Amy: I see it, Sonia I think it was a bomb.
Sonia: it did not sound like it, oh my god, everyone is here NYFD, NYPD, port authority, its like world war 3 going on right now, check 1010wins, and they can report what the situation is. Horns are going off debris is flying paper is flying and I just had to move Sonic Manic and Knuckles to move out of the way.
Amy: Alright (she listened on to what the report was and listened in horror in what the cause was) Sonia it was an airplane that crashed.
Sonia: Oh my, I knew it wasn't a bomb, listen I will call you right back, bye. (She hung up the phone)
Knuckles: (Trying to get through the crowds of people at aw at the burning building, people walked to her side.) What's the diagnosis?
Sonia: An airplane hit the world trade center. (She did not finish her sentence when Sonic, Manic and Tails came in shock.)
Sonic: No way it cannot be true.
Tails: It's true Sonic, and the way it looks, it was not small aircraft.
Manic: So what do we do?
Sonia: Nothing right now, (Sonic looked at her in disappointment and in anger) Sonic I know you want to do something, but even for a fast hedgehog, the smoke and debris is way too toxic. They were soon distracted by pedestrians and many other civilians on the street screaming and watching in horror as employees at the Trade Center began taking their lives in their own hands.
Knuckles: I can't believe it, their actually jumping, it is so not real.
Tails: This is not a good day at all; Sonic what are we going to do?
Sonic: (sighing for a minute) okay your right sis, so what is the plan?
Sonia: We can go to Battery Park; I think we can catch the subway back to Brooklyn.
Manic: We can't; I just got word that subway service to and from the trade center have been stopped. (Tails soon interrupted him looked up to the sky in horror.)
It was 9:03.
