"It's such a beautiful day," Sonic said, as he watched some clouds float
along lazily.
"Hey sonic, what are you doing up here all by yourself?" Sonic looked up and saw Amy's smiling face. "Just thinking about a friend" "You miss shadow, don't you?" sonic sat up and looked at her. "Is it that obvious?" Amy sat down next to sonic, and gently put her hand on his shoulder. "If you want to talk about it, I'm more than happy to listen" "Thanks, but I'll be fine" "Well, on a happier note, I'm working on a new song" "Can I hear it?" "I only have the chorus so far" "Can I hear that part anyway?" "Dancing in fire with you by my side, I feel so warm, safe, and alive. The flames of love burns bright in my heart, When I think of you I can dance in fire" "T hat's awesome, I can't wait to hear it when it's finished" "I'll go and work on it some more" she got up, and walked away happily. "At least I still have Amy" He lay back down and continued to watch the clouds drift by. "Now that Eggman and Rouge are good, things have gotten so boring" some more clouds drifted by, and Sonic got to his feet. "I can't take this anymore, I need to get out of here" he ran as fast as he could and didn't stop until he came to the nearest town. "Finally, something other then crickets, I could get used to this" "Long time no see, sonic" Sonic looked to his left and saw a hooded figure standing in the alley. "Do I know you?" "Yes, but that is not important, what is important, is your future" "My future? What are you talking about?" "If you follow me, your future will change, possibly for the worst, but if you walk away, your future will change for the best, but you will never know who I am" Sonic was curious to find out who it was, but he didn't want to risk his future. "All right, I'll follow you" "Good choice, right this way" The hooded figure turned around and walked down the alley, sonic followed closely. The alley seemed to go on forever, they had all ready walked ten minutes. "Where are you taking me?" Sonic said, annoyed. "Patience, we are here" They came upon an old haunted looking building, and entered it slowly. The inside was darker than night during an eclipse and there were no windows, except for one at the top. "This place gives me the creeps, can we turn a light on?" "I'd rather not for the moment" He stopped in the middle of the room, and turned around. "Why did you bring me here?" Sonic asked shakily. "To tell you something" "What is it?" "There's a new bad guy, I just thought you should know" "A new bad guy?! Who is it, and further more, who are you?" As soon as sonic said that, the lights came on and slightly blinded him. "A friend, I fought beside you once" "That narrows it down" Sonic said, still covering his eyes. "Now is where your life changes forever" "What are you talking about?" As he finished his sentence, he felt something cold and metallic in his back, and within a minute, he fainted. "Wha, what happened?" sonic woke up to find that he was laying in front of the master emerald, the same spot he was in before. "My back and head hurt" As he said that, he heard a cold, hissing voice that seemed to have come from somewhere and nowhere at once. "Listen to my voice sonic, and listen well, I want you to kill your friends so I can take the master emerald, do you understand?" "Yes master, I hear you and obey you"
