SupergamerGreg79 here with a new story. This one follows the game Sonic Rush with my own parts added as well. All of the characters that appeared in the game will be in this story, as well as Shadow, Rouge, Armand (my character), Silver, and Team Chaotix (Espio, Charmy, and Vector.)

Also, my apologies to Babylon Sky Hawk (the one who inspired me to write my own stories) for not including Rouge in my first story, Surprise Confession after a Date. I knew I was missing someone, and he gave me the one I was missing.

For your knowledge, each hero will be in a different stage, with most stages having two heroes (expect Amy to tag along with Sonic). Here is where each character will end up:

(Heroes in parentheses will be the tag-along character.)

Leaf Storm: Sonic (Amy)

Water Palace: Blaze (Silver)

Mirage Road: Shadow (?)

Night Carnival: Tails (Cream)

Huge Crisis: Knuckles (Rouge)

Altitude Limit: Armand (Team Chaotix)

Dead Line: All

Final Zone (Unknown): Sonic (Blaze)

Extra Zone (Exception): Super Sonic and Burning Blaze

Disclaimer: SEGA owns Sonic and Co. I only own Armand and this story.

Chapter 1: Newcomers to the World

All was quiet in the Mystic Ruins. The waterfall was running as usual. The jungle was calm after the storm the other night. And Angel Island was in the air. Knuckles the Echidna, last remaining guardian of the Master Emerald, was keeping it under guard. Rouge the Bat, who Knuckles considered a rival of some sort, was helping him out, making sure that any would-be thieves (excluding herself) would not get a chance to steal it.

"Rouge, see anyone yet. I have a feeling that someone may show up at any moment." Knuckles asked without breaking his concentration.

"Not yet, Knuckles. Really, you need to quit worrying so much. Besides, no one has any real interest in that stone, anyway."

Rouge then caught sight of something falling towards them at a high speed.

"Uh, Knuckles, scratch that last remark. INCOMING!" Rouge said with a hint of panic in her voice.

Knuckles immediately broke his meditation to look up, only to see it head right for him. Rouge saw this, and pushed Knuckles out of the way. The force of the push brought Rouge down as well. As the object came closer, it turned out that it was not one, but TWO objects coming at them. The white hedgehog was desperately trying to activate his levitation to save him and the purple cat falling with him.

"They're going to crash!" Rouge panicked.

"Not if I can help it." Knuckles said with determination.

Knuckles jumped into the air and spread his arms to glide towards them. As he got closer, he could hear them talking. Obviously, it was not something good.

"I'm sorry, Blaze. I can't levitate. We're doomed" The white hedgehog said.

"Keep trying, Silver." The purple cat known as Blaze replied, though she knew it was over.

Suddenly, the two were caught by Knuckles, who managed to reach them. He glided down to safety. The two opened their eyes to see that they were alive. Now their attention was glued to the red echidna that had saved them, as well as the white bat who warned him of their predicament.

"Who's the red mutt?" Silver said, not knowing that what he said clearly ticked off Knuckles.

"And the white vampire?" Blaze said, thus ticking Rouge off.

"For your information, I'm an echidna." Knuckles told Silver.

"And I happen to be a bat." Rouge told Blaze.

"Whoa. What happened here?" An unknown voice said.

The four look to the steps to the Master Emerald to see a 17 year old purple tiger climbing up to meet them. This would be Armand.

"What do you think, Armand? These two fell from the sky." Knuckles hastily replied.

"So they're angels? They don't look like it." Armand said, which got Knuckles laughing. Blaze immediately shot a fireball at him. Armand dodged it with ease.

"Hey, cool it."

"What did you say?"

"Just what I said. Cool it."

Blaze and Armand went at it. Armand fired several low-power lasers, which Blaze dodged with ease. Blaze then launched several fire blasts. Armand used his laser beams to shoot them down. Knuckles, Rouge, and Silver watched on.

"So, what's your name." Rouge asked Silver.

"I'm Silver. The cat is named Blaze. She controls fire, and I have psychic powers."

"Blaze seems just like me. Attack first, ask questions later." Knuckles said as he watched the two battle it out. The battle went on until a black hedgehog appeared.

"Knuckles, Sonic wants to see you." The black hedgehog told Knuckles.

"Not now, Shadow. I'm watching Blaze fight Armand." Knuckles replied without looking at him.

"Yes, now." He goes to Blaze and Armand. "Chaos…CONTROL."

The two suddenly stop fighting as Chaos Control slows them down. Shadow then stops the fight by kicking them both away from each other.

"Shadow, why did you interfere? I almost had her." Armand quickly said with frustration.

"Had me? Please, you didn't stand a chance."

They start fighting again. A pink hedgehog (Amy) comes up with a two-tailed yellow fox (Tails), a cream colored rabbit (Cream), her blue chao friend (Cheese), a purple chameleon (Espio), a yellow/black bee (Charmy), and a green crocodile (Vector).

"Need some help, Shadow?" Amy asked.

"Help yourself." Shadow said, then backed away. Everyone else took cover.

"KNOCK IT OFF AND CALM DOWN!!"

The resulting outburst immediately stopped the fight. Blaze quickly learned not to make this hedgehog mad.

"Now, let's talk about this somewhere peaceful." Amy said. Everyone knew where she was talking about.

"To Sonic's house we go." Tails said.

End of Chapter 1

Well, what did you think? This is only chapter 1 of the story. For those of you wondering when the game part will begin, be patient. I will reach that part soon enough.

Read and Review.
