"It's working! It's working" cackled the elderly man as the tube slowly
drained of fluid. A huge figure leaned against the side of it. The old man
hit a switch and the glass slowly rose. With great difficulty the old man
hobbled forward and looked the figure up and down. "Yes, you will be my
perfect agent, Number thirteen seventy-nine." The man burst into laughter
as the figure opened it's eyes…

"Wait for me Sonic!" Amy cried as she stopped to catch her breath.
"What now?" an impatient Sonic asked.
"You know I can't keep up with you."
"Look, Amy, I really can't wait any more. Tails is waiting for me."
"But, Sonic…"
"Thanks Amy!" Sonic yelled as he sped off.
"Today was supposed to be our first date." She finished.
Sonic tore through the streets of Station Square. Little kids whispered as he whizzed by. Sonic couldn't help but smile, it felt good to be a hero. He began to slow when he thought about Shadow. He had made the ultimate sacrifice to save the Earth, and no one knew the truth about what happened. Everyone thought that he was some kind of villain, like Eggman.
Sighing, he hurried over to the train station. Tails had promised to show him the new modifications he made to the Tornado. Sonic worried about Tails, ever since the whole ARK business Tails had been spending more and more time alone in his lab. Sonic vowed to get him to out and do some normal, fun stuff. Maybe he'd take Tails to see that new sequel to "Chaos in Space".
The train pulled into the station and Sonic boarded quietly. He went to pay but the conductor waved his money away.
"A hero's money ain't no good." He said.
"Hey, you don't have too…" Sonic began.
"'ey it ain't no problem. One thing though."
"What's that?" Sonic asked. This whole conversation was getting very tiresome, very quick.
"Could I get your autograph?"
"Sure." Sonic quickly scrawled his name on the paper the conductor was offering.
Taking his pen and paper back, the conductor said, "Thanks a lot. My wife and kids ain't gonna believe that I met ya."
Nodding, Sonic took his seat. There was barely anyone on this train. For that he was grateful. There were plenty of perks being a hero, but he couldn't get any privacy anymore and that bothered Sonic greatly.
He sat in silence with his thoughts until the train pulled into the Mystic Ruins. Sonic sped off and down the trail to Tails' workshop. There wasn't any sign off the little fox as he let himself inside. That was very odd as Tails was usually so excited about his latest invention, he would meat Sonic half way to the station.
"Hello!" Sonic called. No answer. Getting worried, Sonic tried again. "Hey little buddy, where ya at?" He shock his head, this wasn't good at all. Slowly, he headed down the hall towards Tails' workshop. Pushing the door open, he founded the battered body of Tails laying on the floor.
"Tails, what happened?" he asked as he bent down to pick him up.
"I was working," he began weakly.
"That's okay buddy, save your strength." Sonic said with a little grin.
"Behind you." A voice said.
Whirling around, Sonic found a very large gorilla standing before him. Gently setting Tails down, Sonic demanded, "Just who the hell are you and what did you do to Tails?"
The great ape chuckled. "It's not important who I am. What's important is that my master wants you dead."
"And who the hell is our master? Eggman?"
"No, no it's not Robotnik. My master will be making him self known very shortly." The gorilla advanced on Sonic, "Your little friend put up quite the fight, you know. No where good enough though. I taught him a little lesson," he said with an evil grin. "I picked up his battered little body and through him against the wall." Mimicking the motions for effect.
"That's enough!" roared Sonic, "It's time to pay monkey boy!"
"Oh really? We'll just see if you live up to the hype Sonic the Hedgehog." The ape said as he reared back to punch.
