Hey, there, Fanfiction Land. I have some time on my hand; so I thought I'd drop this on you. This is not the first chapter. This is merely a prologue of a future story to come. You know how movies give you previews of movies to come? Same thing here. I only wish that I had time to write the whole thing now, but I have to save my scholarship first. Chemistry is no joke. Neither is Trigonometry. Just give me a little time to get on my feet. I'll be sure to update as soon as I can.


Shadow's P.O.V.

My name is Shadow. I'm formerly known as the world's ultimate life form, but I don't think that title suits me anymore. I was too easily captured. They made me look weak. To add to mu humiliation, they put a bracelet around my neck that prevents me from using my Chaos Magic. They made a fool of me. I now find myself confined to prison block C with no hope of escape until my debt has been paid to society. I have no idea how I came to be. I believe that Sonic is the cause of my incapacitation. It doesn't matter, though.

Recently, I've found myself at home in this putrid hole. Most of the people in here are misfits just like me. They, too, have proven to be defenseless against a G.U.N. attack. I've even allied myself with a special group of misfits who call themselves the Black Angels, led by a pumped up hedgehog who calls himself Mathematic. He calls himself that because he claims to be able to handle any problem put in front of him. He and the rest of the Black Angels look out for me like a brother and in return, I look out for them. Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails sure don't have my back.

Tails' P.O.V.

My name is Miles Tails Prower, or at least that's who I used to be. I'm not so sure who I am anymore. Since I've been locked up, my life has gone through some dramatic changes. The things that I have witnessed and experienced are too painful for mortal eyes. I always thought that I'd grow up to become the kind of man that Cream could be proud of, but it looks like I won't ever get that chance. The part of me that could ever be a man has been taken from me. I always thought Sonic would be there to protect me whenever I was in danger. I guess I was wrong. Speaking of Sonic, I see him on a regular basis, but it seems that he has few words to say to me these days. In fact, I've grown distant from all of my friends. Where were they when I needed them? As far as I'm concerned, I have no friends. I only have me.

Prison is not a place for those who have a heart. It will be easily crushed. This young fox has been forced to see the world for what it really is: A violent, perverted place where only the strong survive and the weak are exploited. No one gives a damn about the weak. It makes no difference. I'll show them all just how weak Miles Tails Prower is. Just you wait.

Knuckles' P.O.V.

My name is Knuckles the Echidna, guardian of the Master Emerald, but I'm not doing much of that these days. In fact, I'm not doing much of anything but waiting. I'm waiting on the day that I can once again have the freedom that I love so. It's all Sonic's fault. We were with him when it all happened. I blame him and no one else. Sonic's the reason my freedom was taken away from me. Sonic's the reason the Master Emerald is out there unguarded. Sonic's the reason why my unborn embryo will be born not knowing who his father is. I hate Sonic for that!

I've adjusted to prison life. My cellmate, Malachi, is one of the few people in this whole place with his head on straight. He's a very deep and wise echidna. I'll give him that. He's also a very loyal friend. Shadow's joined some prison gang but Malachi and I don't need all that. He watches my back and I watch his. For the most part, I'm not hassled anyway. Most of the other prisoners have learned to keep their distance from me because they know that I'm not a pushover. One inmate in particular named Mathematic keeps pushing me, though. I hope he learns his lesson before he makes me do something that I'll regret.

Sonic's P.O.V.

My name is Sonic the Hedgehog. According to eyewitnesses, I'm the reason that Shadow, Knuckles, Tails, and I all got locked up, but I don't see how that's possible. For one, I don't remember doing any of the things that they say I done; yet somehow I feel guilty inside. It's strange. I can't imagine what Amy must be feeling now. It seems that I am the cause of everyone's grief. Whatever I did caused pain to everyone that I hold close. I feel like a monster. Everyone blames me. No one believes in me anymore. This is not a good feeling. I'm going to do everything in my power to make things right again no matter what it takes.


Well, this story will be an interesting one. I tell you. If you want to find out what happens, put the story on alert. It might be a while before my next update. Like I said, I have a scholarship to save. With that, Icy Knuckles is signing off.

P.S. I could use some fan characters to play minor roles as a few inmates. If anyone is interested in seeing their fan characters in this story, simply leave their info in a review and I'll get back to you. I can't use everyone, but I'll use as many as I can. Ciao!
