Sonic zipped through the streets, dashing cars and making sparks fly
off the curbs. He screeched to a halt at the very bottom, Tails landed just
a moment later.
"Beat you again Tails, even though this time I took every one of those switchbacks down the hill." Sonic laughed while Tails sighed in defeat. The days had been boring and long, with nothing exciting happening after their last adventure. Not that this was a bad thing, but Sonic and Tails were feeling restless.
The sun had just slipped past the horizon and the lights around the city lit up like fireflies. A familiar red figure was walking three block ahead of them...
"Hey! Knuckles!" Sonic yelled, dashing off in a blast of blue.
"Sonic! Wait for me!" Tails said as he flew after him."
Sonic screeched to a halt, inches away from collision. Knuckles stumbled back a little, quite surprised.
"Hey, what's been happening?" Sonic asked, hoping for something to relieve the boredom.
"Well, there have been more rumors around about someone trying to steal the chaos emerald in the city bank... as usual. Getting kinda repetitive, don't ya think?"
"Yeah, no kidding... Tails? What's the matter?" Sonic looked at tails, who had a hand on his chest and was breathing heavily.
"I... I don't know, I just had a weird feeling, kinda like when you get shocked by static electricity... except it was a lot stronger, and inside my chest.. It's gone now though." Tails replied, standing normally now.
"Well that's odd. I wonder if- Oh, hey! I just got it too!" Knuckles jumped at the sensation, like a ball of electricity inside of him. The three stood there for a moment before shrugging. Tails pulled out his own chaos emerald, which had been awarded to him by the city long ago.
"I wonder if it has something to do with this? Oh well, I'd better keep a close eye on my emerald with all these rumors going around." He said, talking to himself more than anything.
As Tails moved to pocket the emerald a loud whooshing sound could be heard. Tails paused and all three looked around, searching for the source of the noise. A dark shape could be seen hovering above them...
An echidna landed just a few yards away. Her fur was jet black, and her hair like tendrils were longer and thinner than Knuckles', so she had them tied back in a ponytail. She wore simple white shorts and a green tube-top. She wore gloves, which were white as well, that were adorned with metal spikes much like Knuckles'. Her purple eyes flashed to the emerald.
"If you think that's what I'm after, you're wrong..." She said in a silky, somewhat sly voice as Tails made an attempt to shelter his emerald from view..
"In fact... If you want to save yourselves a lot of pain then you'd best stay on my good side. My name is Equinox."
