Chapter 1: A new enemy

Sonic and his friends are resting after the past few weeks, Metal Supreme had taken refuge with Sonics team, and helped rebuild the town, while a new city is built from the ruins of the old city and Sonics team basks in the light of peacefulness, a figure stands straight up watching the city progress an animal that has watched the whole city from the creation to the destruction only weeks ago, this man is now ready to reveal himself and his motives for arriving.

"Sonic! Where are you Sonic!" Amy yells through the house while searching for her Sonic, Metal over hears her screaming and decides to check it out, he asks," Amy why do you wish to see sonic?" She says while still looking for him," I haven't hugged him in three days, I need to hug him or he'll think I'm neglecting him." Metal stares at her for a while then finally says," Sonic left a while ago to check on the construction of rebuilding West Town." Amy instantly takes off for West Town leaving Metal floating there. He says to himself," Sonic is going to kill me for that."

Over in West Town Sonic watched over the project, the building was to be three hundred feet tall, so far they were building on the middle. Sonic said to one of the workers," Hey man that large pipe will go way up there, attaching to the main water system." The man nodded and went to harness up the pipe, so they could hook up the water system. Amy ran around the corner and tackled down Sonic, she said," Sonic, I found you finally!" Sonic pushes away for a second and says," Whoa Amy, how did you know I was here?"

She says while hugging him," Metal told me where you were, he wanted me to see you and hug you." Sonic glares at the sky he says," Metal I'm going to get you for this!" Sonic was embraced by Amy's hug, but was instantly released by Amy, Sonic looked at Amy to see what was wrong, a large hook was through her leg and yanked her down knocking her out. Behind her a figure in a cloak stood, wielding the far end of the spike in Amy.

Sonic stood there shocked by what he saw; the figure took his hood down, revealing a bird head. He stood there with a smile on his face, with a yank of the chain Amy was pulled towards him, he grabbed onto her and said," So this is the one you call Amy, the closest thing to you for a girlfriend, I'm going to take her from you, and watch you suffer!"

With that a gust of air spun around then rapidly and they were gone. Sonic took off trying to find Amy; Tails had seen the whole thing and went down to investigate. The two spent the entire evening looking around for a clue or sign of him, Sonic was about to call it quits when Tails found something.

Lying on the ground was a razor sharp talon. Tails said," This is most likely a sign of his, like a villain in this case I was working on, would place a rose on his victims." Sonic was intrigued by this analogy and said," So he leaves behind his identification with this talon of his?" Tails shook his head and said," in a way yes, he leaves behind his code name with this, most likely his code name is Talon. We need to find this guy quickly; we don't want him harming Amy." With that the two heroes took off to tell the team of this guy.

Metal was speaking with Rouge and Silver," So what is it you do exactly silver?" Metal asked. Silver smiled and said," Well you see I am responsible for watching over the well fair of this team and helping train." Metal nodded storing the data in his memory drive, he turned to Rouge and said," I know what you do already Rouge the Bat I need not ask you. You help the humans spy on Eggman's plans, or did before he was killed by Sonic and Shadow." Rouge nodded slowly and said," Well not much to do now but wait for a new bad guy to beat up, isn't that right?"

Metal was about to continue but was cut off by the sound of Sonic bursting through the front door, Sonic said while Tails caught up," You guys, Amy is gone!" Everyone was surprised by this and Metal said," What do you mean she is gone, she went to talk to you right, or hug you. You couldn't save her?" Sonic nodded as Tail came barging through the door. Tails was knocked down by the force of the door flinging open and crashed with a THUD. Tails slowly got up off the floor and said," Sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention to wherein was going. I need to get to my lab to analyze this talon."

Tails lifted up a sharp claw that belonged to a bird; Silver looked at it curiously and said," What is that thing Tails, where did you get it?" Tails looked at the confused Silver and said," Well I can't say for sure but the guy who took Amy we believe left this behind as a code name for himself." Silver was somewhat understanding more to this situation now but suddenly realized Metal was staring at the claw strangely, almost as if he was afraid of it. Siver said looking at Metal now," Hey Metal is everything alright?" Metal was still staring at the claw but said," I know who this claw belongs to!"

Everyone in the room looked at him startled, Sonic finally said," Metal if you know who this belongs to, can you tell us?" Metal finally looked away and said," Very well I will tell you. This claw belongs to a hawk, his name is Veildor he may seem like a regular enemy that you can take on, but this is incorrect, actually he is extremely powerful he attacked the four Metals before I was created, he took on all four and actually beat us."

Sonic was staring at Metal in disbelief he said," He took on Metal Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles, And Silver and beat you guys, this must be one tough guy." The sad look on his face changed into a wide grin, he rubbed his nose with his index finger and said," Alright this is going to be fun; I can't wait to fight him!" Metal stared at Sonic angrily and said," This isn't a game Sonic, he is evil he will not hesitate killing Amy! If you don't stop him in time, Amy won't live through to tomorrow." This impacted Sonic hard, all of the realization finally sunk in now he knew the full depth of the situation this wasn't a game it meant life or death for Amy. They had to save her.

Knuckles stared at the blank plain in front of him, nothing but cold, unforgiving ice that would crush you if it could. He said while staring into nothingness," This is where our base will be; I started building while you were away on that mission to destroy that castle." Shadow looked at the empty waste land and said smiling," Glad to see the base is near completion, I can see it clearly." Knuckles turned to Shadow and punched his arm, he then said," The base is underground Shadow, I wouldn't be an idiot and reveal it to the whole world like Sonic would, ready to get started?" Shadow rubbed his arm and said," Only on one condition, we build giant cannon underneath for air support." Knuckled shook his head and said," Fine, we'll build your cannon thing!"

Shadow smiled and descended into the base with Knuckles, once there Shadow has to admit," This place isn't half bad Knuckles; this will be our base of operations?" Knuckles smiled and said," Yes, this entire thing is our base of operations, and the best part, is a surprise so you will just have to wait to find out Shadow." Shadow looked at him upset that he wouldn't find out now but decided not to sulk, the faster this thing was done the sooner the secret would be revealed. After about six hours of work, Shadow and Knuckles heard walking through the halls, they quickly took off to the source of sound, they didn't expect to see anyone else but there definitely was a person standing there.

The man had a long cloak on and looked just like the man Sonic saw, especially since he still had Amy with him, tied up by the chain through her leg. He said while smiling," Hello Knuckles and Shadow, I have brought you something," he picked up Amy and tossed her at them, Shadow jumped forward to catch her, Knuckles dodged away to give Shadow room. Shadow caught hold off Amy and was hurled back, hitting her head, Amy woke up and noticed she was laying on top of Shadow, she quickly picked herself up, and Shadow got up.

She said," What am I doing in this place, and how did I get here?" Shadow was about to speak but was interrupted by Veildor, he said," I brought you Amy Knuckles and Shadow, the wound in her leg was caused by Sonic, he was upset with Amy disturbing him while he worked and finally acted with harsh intention, the blow to her leg had enough force, she hit her head on something hard and was knocked out, if I hadn't came in I don't know what would have happened to you Amy, oh sorry I have not introduced myself, My name is Veildor the Hawk I have travelled from great distances to join with you Knuckles, may I join your group?"

Knuckles was very confused and disturbed by what he heard, he said," Just wait one second, why would Sonic attack Amy like that?" Veildor said frowning," I was watching the whole thing, she came in and distracted him while he was directing some pipes and cement blocks, the accident knocked eight floors off of the building send he snapped, as she reached to hug her he somehow was able to hurt her leg badly, I swooped down and snatched her up before he could continue, I don't think he meant to hurt her, stress had built into fury and finally burst on Amy."

Knuckles was actually believing this, Amy didn't remember what happened so Knuckles finally agreed and said," Very well you may join the group, our first mission is to go and send a beat down on Sonic, they might not be perfect friends with me, but I don't want them to die. Ready Veildor?" Veildor nodded and smiled, wind rushed around them and they teleported leaving the base empty.
