Second Chance

Chapter 1: Good-bye Sonic

A/N: So this takes place during Sonic Adventure 2 and has a bit of a plot twist. I had this idea a while back but only just now thought anything of it. Please Review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sega, Sonic Adventure 2, or any of the Sonic characters.

Enjoy! :D

*In the Space Colony ARK*

Eggman, Tails, and Amy stood in the viewing room of the ARK. It had a wall that was completely glass and looked down on the large blue and green planet, Earth. Eggman was in his Egg Walker and pointing a gun at Amy, who had been captured…again. Tails had come to help her and was in blue mech suit. Suddenly the sliding door on the far side of the room opened revealing a blue hedgehog. Sonic walked in calmly with his usual smirk.

"Ah, Sonic, you're here. Let's get down to business, shall we? Hand over the Chaos Emerald, slowly, and then we'll talk about your girlfriend, that is, if you really care for her," Eggman said. Sonic pulled the fake yellow Chaos Emerald out of his quills and looked at it. "If I give him the fake emerald, I can kill two birds with one stone!" He muttered to himself.

"Now place the emerald right there then back off!" Eggman growled still pointing his gun at a petrified Amy. Sonic smirked cockily, "Looks like you've turned into a big time villain, Eggman!"

Sonic walked to the middle of the room where a circle pattern was on the ground. He was about to place the emerald down, but as soon as he stepped onto it, a glass cylinder shot up around him trapping him inside. Sonic looked around surprised and walked forward placing his hands on the glass. "Did you really think you could fool me with that fake emerald?" Eggman taunted. Tails and Amy looked shocked. "So how'd you know it was fake?" Tails asked. Eggman smirked and an evil glint came over his glasses, "Because you just told me fox boy." Tails gasped and his eyes widened in realization of what he just said. Eggman laughed manically. "Time to take a little space ride, Sonic! As soon as the capsule clears the colony, BAM!" Eggman said excitedly. He hovered his finger over a switch on the Egg Walker. "I'm counting on you Tails! And Amy… take care of yourself…" Sonic said sorrowfully. "You were an admirable adversary. Farewell Sonic the Hedgehog!" Eggman flipped the switch and the capsule shot down into the space below. Tails and Amy watched the capsule out the window. "SONIC!" they yelled together with tears in their eyes. Not that yelling his name helped at all. Eggman chuckled at the sight.

*Sonic's P.O.V*

I was shot out, in the capsule, into outer space. The fake emerald was still in my hand. My heart was racing faster than I can run. I heard Tails' voice in my head, 'It has the same wavelengths and properties of a regular emerald, but isn't as powerful.' "Same wavelengths and properties…," I repeated to myself, "but can I do this?" It worked for Shadow, so why not? I held up the emerald. "Chaos Control!" I yelled and hope that it works. A small light is emitted from the phony gem but then faded just as quickly. Nothing happened. My eyes widen when I realize it wasn't working. The capsule was still plummeting. 'Oh cra-,' but before I could even finish my thought, the capsule exploded into a million pieces.

*With Tails, Amy, and Eggman*

"SONIC!" Amy cries as the capsule exploded. Tears streaked her tan and pink face. Eggman chuckled evilly. Tails was staring at the ground deep in thought. "This is the first time Sonic asked me to do something for him. I can't let him down!" Tails mumbled to himself then turned to Eggman. "Alright Eggman! You will pay for this!" Tails yelled angrily, somewhat surprising the Doctor. Amy sat weeping by the window about her lost love while a fight between Eggman and Tails had commenced.

*Sonic's P.O.V*

Everything went dark for a moment. It felt like I was floating on nothing. My eyes were closed. Then I felt something solid and flat beneath me, like a floor. The floor felt like glass but somehow, almost softer. I moved my gloved hand around on the smooth surface, feeling for anything around me. My eyes opened and I saw that I was in a white room. The walls, floor, and ceiling looked like they were made of clouds. It was bright in there, but I didn't see a light anywhere. Nothing and no one was in the room except me. I stood up and looked down at myself to see if anything had changed, but it didn't seem anything had. I walked over to the wall and felt it. It felt like glass, but it looked like a cloud. 'Where am I?' I think 'Did the Chaos Control work? Did it send me somewhere?' It looked like it to me, but if that wasn't it then I didn't want to consider the other option of what happened to me. "Hello?" I called out.

Behind me a bright light flashed and I turned to see what it was. When the lighting subsided I saw a girl. She was about my age and height and was also a hedgehog. She looked quite a bit like me with her blue fur. White robes draped around her and she wore white sandals.

"Hello, Sonic," she said calmly. I was taken aback by this. "Wha- Who are you? How do you know my name?" I asked cautiously. "My name is Angie. I am your Guardian Angel," she said. I raised an eyebrow at the girl, "Guardian Angel?" She smiled. "Yes and you definitely need one considering your always getting yourself in trouble," she said exasperatedly, "but your heart is always in the right place and you love to help people which seems to make up for it." I was still really confused. "So, uh, Angie, where the heck am I?" I ask in an uncertain tone. I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear the answer because a part of me already knew, but I still asked. "You are on the Other Side," she says gently. I stare her with sudden urgency in my eyes, "What do you mean 'the Other Side'?" I ask sternly. "Well, I mean exactly what it sounds like. You are in the place where young and old souls go when it's their time to pass on," she said. My eyes widen and I look around in disbelief. What? I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe I was…

"So… I'm… dead?" I asked. Her expression got solemn and she nodded slowly.
