Author's Notes: At the beginning of the story I confuse you. So. Expect anything. Anyways, On with the fic.

Chapter 1: A Blur

A blur ran through the streets of the polluted city. A few SWATbots tried to stop it, but were off their feet and destroyed by the shockwave it made. It ran around Robotropolis a few times, and then disappeared into the shadows to catch its breath. It started running again, about 500 mph, looking left, right, and forward for it's final destination. It knew the streets fairly well. It found its last building, then, skidded to a stop.

It was still hidden in the shadows, but was aiming one arm toward a building extremely far down the street. Lightning crackled from its fingers, hitting the building. Thus, causing numerous SWATbots to run down there to see what caused the fire, and to put it out. It ran up to the building, spin-dashed through the door, and then set its blast charges.

It ran back out, and headed toward the middle of the city. There it took off its pack, dug into it, and pulled out a small, green, handheld computer. "Nikki, open up the door", it said. A trapdoor slid open, a few feet away. A pair of eyes was starring out. "Did you set the charges?" a muffled voice whispered.

"Yeah, I set 'em," it answered. It reached into its backpack again, pulled out a remote, and then pushed the button. Four explosions were heard. "Alright!" it yelled, and then jumped down the hole. "Way to go, Summer!" the small, female, two-tailed fox yelled. "Be quiet!" summer whispered harshly. "Oh, uh, sorry." Nikki said quietly. "Anything happen while I was gone?" Summer asked. " Oh, nothing, unless you care about Shadow being really worried about you." Nikki said. "Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, he loves me and my good looks", Summer answered. "Summer, you're the only green, girl, magic wielding, super speeding, hedgehog around here." Nikki said. "Oh, yeah, great way to single me out. Besides, you're the only pink, two-tailed, flying fox around here." A chipmunk ran up the stairs to them, "Summer, Tommy needs to see you", the chipmunk said between breaths. "Okay, calm down Daniel, take a few deep breaths. Oh by the way, find something to hold on to cause…JUICE TIME!" She sped off, leaving them clutching the walls. Summer arrived at the bobcat's cabin, and knocked on the wooden door. A bobcat opened it then beckoned her inside. The bobcat, Tommy asked, "Did ya get the charges set in the most Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern most buildings?" "Like I already told Nikki, I got 'em", she said. "Okay, you may go to your cabin", Tommy told her.



Meanwhile, in the hidden Freedom Fighter Village of Knothole…



Sixteen year-old Sonic Hedgehog was sleeping in his hut when he was awakened by the explosions, "huh, what is that" Sonic asked to no one in particular. There was another explosion and Sonic jumped up and sped out the door, forgetting his shoes and watch. He looked all around Knothole, and then looked toward Robotropolis. He saw four columns of smoke rising in the city. "Sonic! Oh, there you are", Sally yelled, running up to him. "What's up Sal?" Sonic asked, turning to face her. "Sonic, wonder what made those explosions, and tomorrow at daybreak, you're going to find out." Sally told him. "Sal, what time is it?" Sonic asked. "It's just after midnight", she said. "Sonic, go back to sleep but remember to set your alarm for six thirty." "Alright, okay, I'm going", he said walking off but not before giving Sally a peck on the lips. "Night, Sal", said Sonic before speeding back to his hut. "Goodnight Sonic", Sally whispered.



Back to somewhere under Robotropolis…



Summer walked back to her underground cabin. She heard something move behind her, and she stopped to listen. A bobcat was sneaking through the shadows, coming up behind her. "I've already heard you…TOMMY!", she yelled, turning around and grabbing the bobcat by the shoulders. "Summer, tomorrow, or I mean at six forty-five you're going to serve as scout and see how Robotnik's fairing with the destruction of those buildings." "Okay, I'll set my alarm…JAM TIME!" she yelled and ran to her cabin and shut the door.



At 6:30 in Knothole…





1 "BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BE…" Sonic's alarm went off. It stopped beeping because he slammed on it with his fist. "MMMMmmm… ili ogs

HEY! Wait! Stop runnin' away!" Sonic yelled. I would say he was half- asleep, but… then I'd be lying. He's probably three-fourths asleep. Sonic started trying to run in his sleep, but only ended up getting himself tangled in his hammock. The hammock twisted around a few, before finally straightening out. Unfortunately, Sonic was on the under-side. He fell straight down, onto the floor. "Ooof!" Sonic mumbled because he landed on his stomach, momentarily knocking the wind out of him. "Wait, what the heck was I supposed to do today, getting' up so freakin' early!" He yelled. Sonic clamped his hand to his mouth, realizing he had yelled at the top of his lungs, when everyone else in Knothole was supposed to be asleep. Sonic remembered his mission, and ran to look at his clock, which not to be found. He looked for a few minutes, then remembered his watch. He grabbed it off the bed, or, hammock-side table, and put it on.
