Chapter 1: A Hero in Exile
A lone flying transport ship was flying in the skies above Station Square. It was headed towards the nearby desert. Inside the ship was Sonic, Amy, Armand, and Mayor Draco, the not-so-nice mayor of Station Square. Draco was a 32-year old brown bear who wore standard mayor's clothing. Sonic was in electromagnetic handcuffs, Amy was nearly in tears, Armand just looked on in disbelief, and Draco was smiling.
An hour ago in Station Square Court…
"I don't know what you are talking about, Draco." Sonic argued.
"Silence. That's Mayor Draco to you, traitor." Draco responded.
Sonic was on trial. Draco believed that Eggman was responsible for nearly destroying the world. It probably didn't help that he saw Sonic with him. So he got the police to arrest Sonic shortly after the wedding of Tails and Cream. Now Sonic's friends tried to defend him, but Draco would not take any of it. Not only was he the mayor, but also the judge.
"Now, do you have any proof that you weren't siding with Eggman?" Draco asked.
"I'm telling you, it wasn't Eggman that's responsible. It was some freak called Eggman Nega." Sonic said.
"I didn't ask you who was responsible. I asked you if you have any proof, because when I'm involved, witnesses don't count as proof."
Sonic looked down as he said, "I…have no proof."
"Then it's settled. Has the jury reached a verdict?"
One of the jury members stood up.
"We have, your Honor. We, the jury, find Sonic the Hedgehog, guilty as charged." The jury member responded with a little reluctance in his voice.
The whole courtroom fell silent.
"So it's decided. Sonic the Hedgehog, I hereby banish you to the deserts outside of Station Square, for life. Court adjourned." He tapped the gavel once, which ended the session.
Over the desert…
The transport had just landed. Sonic stepped out first, followed by Amy, Draco, and then Armand.
"Let me repeat your sentence. You are banished to this desert for life." Draco told him.
"Mayor Draco, he'll die out here. You can't do this. I love him." Amy tried to argue, but Draco would have none of it.
"Silence, Ms. Rose. The so-called "hero" deserves this after turning against the very world he tried to save." Draco stated.
Armand walked over to Sonic and released the handcuffs.
"Sorry, Sonic. We tried our best." Armand apologized.
"It's not your fault. It's his." Sonic told him, referring to Draco.
"Anyone have any last requests?" Draco asked everyone.
"I do." Amy said. "Just one last kiss."
"Well, seeing how it will be his last…Alright. I'll allow it. But hurry up." Draco responded.
Amy walked over to Sonic and kissed him. Sonic took it in, knowing it may be his last.
"Will you hurry up? I'm getting impatient."
Draco was ready to leave Sonic to his fate. Sonic and Amy finally broke the kiss.
"I love you, Sonic."
"I love you too, Amy"
Amy and Armand got back on the transport ship, where Draco was waiting. As the ship's door closed, Amy finally broke into tears. Armand tried to calm her down.
"It's okay, Amy. Knowing Sonic, he'll survive." Armand tried to tell her.
"But, what if he doesn't? What if he dies?" Amy asked.
"Oh, what if he dies?" Draco mimicked Amy. "You might as well get over it. Find a new boyfriend, because your current one is doomed."
"YOU WANT TO SAY THAT TO ME AGAIN!?" Amy shouted in a rage.
"Amy, calm down." Armand told her as the ship took off.
Sonic watched the ship leave the desert. Too depressed to run anywhere, he started walking. While he walked, he remembered the arrest.
Two days ago…
Police sirens were heard in the distance. Sonic, who had left the wedding about 15 minutes ago, was walking through the streets of Station Square. He turned around as the police stopped.
"What's up, officers? Looking for someone?" Sonic asked.
The 3 policemen pointed their guns at Sonic.
"Sonic the Hedgehog, you are under arrest." One policeman said.
"What? Why?" Sonic asked.
"Allying with Eggman and trying to destroy our world."
"You're crazy. I would never try to destroy the planet." Sonic argued.
"Shut up. Get in the car, now!" The policeman demanded.
One of the other policemen handcuffed Sonic, while the other took him to the car. When he was inside, it drove off.
Present day…
Sonic sighed. He couldn't believe that the mayor would accuse him of something like that. He understood that the mayor believed that Eggman would do something like that, but what he didn't get was being accused of siding with him like that, just because he was standing around Eggman. He moved on.
Back in Station Square, Amy was frantically running towards her house. It was a couple of blocks away from the city park. When she got home, she pounded on the door.
"RECTOR!! SOMETHING'S HAPPENED!!" Amy yelled.
Inside, a red hedgehog ran to the door. His name was Rector Rose, Amy's older brother. He opened the door to find Amy on her knees, crying about something. Her face was in her hands.
"Amy, what happened?" Rector asked as he helped Amy up. He had never seen Amy like this.
"Rector, Sonic…arrested…desert…could die…" Amy tried to explain.
"Amy, calm down. Tell me what happened. Is it about Sonic?" Rector knew Amy loved Sonic, so he knew Amy would only be this way if one, Sonic did something to her, or two, if something happened to him.
Amy took a few minutes to calm down, then she began explaining.
"Sonic was arrested two days ago. This morning he was taken to the desert, where the mayor said he was banished from the city for life. I'm worried, Rector. He could die out there." Amy explained.
Rector was shocked at this news.
"What was Sonic convicted of?" Rector asked.
"The mayor believed that the Eggman we knew was the one responsible for the recent world crisis. He saw Sonic standing around, and thought that Sonic was partly responsible. Every one of his friends tried to defend him. I tried the most."
Amy broke into tears again.
"That should be enough to allow Sonic to go free. Why didn't he?"
"Because, he said that witnesses don't count."
"That idiot. Who does he think he is? He didn't follow the rules that a judge has to follow. Don't worry, Amy. I'll look into it. But first, I need to meet up with Howl and Raine. They may be able to help me out."
Rector got up and left the house to find his friends.
Out in the desert, Sonic was tired and thirsty. His knees felt weak from dehydration, and his vision was blurry. He soon fell onto his knees, then collapsed on the ground.
The last thing he saw was someone in black pants walking towards him.
End of Chapter 1.
Sonic has been exiled, Amy is worried, and Rector plans to find out what's going on.
This story was supposed to be started after Sonic Rush: New Version was completed, but I wanted to get the first chapter up. I will not continue this until that story is finished.
Also, about The Legend of Tobias Novak (Armand's father), that story has been put on hold. I may do it sometime later.
