Chapter 1 - Sudden Encounters
Sonic's day seemed to be going great. He woke up and had the same morning as most, shower, breakfast, a then quick jog over to Tails workshop to see what his best friend was up to. When he got to Tails place he found him working away in his lab. Tails told him he located one of the chaos emeralds, and then he asked him to find it.
Sonic later found himself in the woods searching for the emerald, and it was going pretty well. There was no robots in sight and it was quiet and sunny afternoon. "The search for the emerald is going to be a breeze!" Sonic thought while he ran past trees, his speed making the branches sway in the wind. "What could go wrong?"
That's when Sonic made his first mistake. When you question what could go wrong, something usually does. Sonic's second mistake was letting his guard down, failing to notice the dark figure lurking in the trees above him.
The figure above him cursed metally, he needed to get that emerald to return to ARK. Then GUN would get of his back and he wouldn't need to keep hiding. Not that he didn't like keeping a low profile. He was never the sociable type, especally not anymore. The dark hedgehog hated GUN, and the fact they were always right behind him. Hopefully if he returns to ARK, GUN would decide he is not a current threat and leave him alone. At least for a while.
The dark hedgehog look down to see the same hedgehog he seen a few minutes ago still there. He was hoping he was just passing by but it seems he is looking for the emerald too. The darker hedgehog was actually surprised to see another hedgehog, he had been hiding for so long he never had time to really see much or meet anyone. Leaving the dark hedgehog to wonder if it is the fact he has never meet anyone like him before, or that he hardly had human contact anyone in years being the reason behind why he found this blue hedgehog below him so... appealing. Another peculiar thing about this hedgehog is that they shared the same skill of having super speed. If that was the case he wonder if he wasn't the only one who could sense the emeralds presence...
The dark figure was correct. Sonic can sense the emerald and he also noticed and bright shine of a red chaos emerald hiding behind a few branches in a small nearby bush. Sonic reach down at the same time the darker hedgehog panic and jumped down from the trees on top of the blue hedgehog. Taking the emerald from Sonic's hand and chaos controling them both back to the safety of space colony ARK.
Hope you enjoyed! I hope to make longer chapters on the future. I'm new to writing so any critiques would be a big help :) Thanks for reading!
