A dark storm-filled night… all is silent… until a girl figure came into view but she's shadowed and she panted for breath from running so hard escaping…
"THERE SHE IS! DON'T LET HER GET AWAY, THE LITTLE MONSTER!" screamed a voice.
The girl gasped and ran on ahead, jumping over rocks and logs and pushing past tree branches in fright of her following enemies, which were soldiers and they fired with large guns, missing the girl every time as she ran faster and faster, getting scared.
"STOP THE LITTLE BEAST! SHE'S VICIOUS!" more voices screamed until they all became one loud noise after another, like in a nightmare of horror. More shots, bangs, screams and shouts filled the night. The girl looked back only once… she opened her mouth to scream…but no sound… just a hard blow to the head…
Meanwhile, in another part of the forest, after the rain stopped, three animal figures were sitting around as a blue hedgehog set up a camera and the orange two-tailed fox and red echidna chatted together.
"I'm sure I got this right, did I?" asked the hedgehog, Sonic.
"I'm sure you did, Sonic." The fox, Tails, said, "It's not too hard."
"Good. I'm not missing a moment of this."
"I'm not surprised," the echidna, Knuckles added, "With speed like that, you hardly catch anything."
"I could catch the Doctor." Sonic said.
"Sonic, we came to relax, remember?" Tails said.
"I know, little buddy, but it's hard when you feel that something big is going to happen." Sonic sighed.
"You always get that feeling." Knuckles frowned.
"Same here." Tails said, "That sort of feeling that big changes will happen again."
Sonic looked at him, "You miss Cosmo still, don't you?"
"Yes."
That's when they heard gun fire and shouts from far off.
"What do you think that is about?" Knuckles asked.
"It sounds really bad." Tails said.
Sonic looked through his camera, "Good thing this has zoom in, all I see are a bunch of soldiers." He saw them look around, shrug and walk away in frustration. Sonic looked up and ran towards the scene.
"Hey, Sonic! Wait a minute!" Tails followed him.
"See, I told you the feeling was…" Knuckles groaned and followed them, "Hey, wait for me!"
They stopped at a clearing and looked around, "I don't see anyone, do you guys?" asked Sonic.
"Nope. Now can we go back?" Knuckles said.
Tails then said, "Maybe it's that person they're after right there." He pointed to a young girl lying on her front, not moving but she's breathing. She had long pink hair and strange horns on her head. She was partly nude, except for a long white cloth around her like a robe.
Sonic went over and picked up the girl in his lap as Tails and Knuckles came over too. The girl sighed, "Nyuu…"
Knuckles looked at her, "She sounds badly hurt."
"And looks like it too," Sonic took notice of the bleeding wound on her forehead.
"I'm on getting the aid-kit." Tails flew back to their spot.
Sonic thought, 'I wonder who she is, and where did she come from?' He looked up at the night sky as the girl sighed again, "Nyuu…"
