Introduction
As the light shone down through the large, shiny windows of his new apartment, Sonic couldn't help feel a remarkable emptiness. He'd moved into the apartment when the Square was re-built recently, in the hope that he'd be able to enjoy a little peace. But alas, he found himself dying for an adventure of some sort. To feel the wind rushing past him, to feel that amazing rush of adrenaline after defeating an enemy; to fight an enemy – whether he liked it or not, that was what he lived for. A peaceful life was just no good to him.
To make things worse, none of his friends were around. They all lived elsewhere – he missed Tails the most. Despite his annoying voice and general lack of 'save the world' ability, he was always around to cheer Sonic up. So, without him, Sonic was a little gloomy.
To combat the awesome loneliness, he left his tidy, well-kept abode and made out into the streets he had rescued on many an occasion. He smiled at passers by, albeit a hollow smile, and stopped off outside the small newsagent. Normally, the news bored him. What were politics and celebrity to someone that had saved the world on a dozen occasions?
But today, something caught his eye. The small board outside the store with the front-page headline scrawled across it contained a name that made him smile instantly. Tails. But the rest was not good news. 'Tails vanished on the eve of his greatest success.'
Suddenly, he saw it. An opportunity for an adventure. He smiled that perfect Hollywood grin and set off along the path to another adventure…
