Tikal sat on Angel Island. She could sense the pain and hostility of our favourite heroes, and it made her heart burn. She couldn't stand to see or feel anyone in pain, be it physical, mental or emotional.

"Give me the remote!" ordered Sonic, snatching it from Tails. He had just been in another encounter with Metal Sonic, and he wasn't in a good mood.

"Hey! Sonic, I was watching that!" whined his fox friend and adoptive little brother.

"Too bad!" spat Sonic, as he changed the channel. Tails couldn't beleive it; Sonic changed the channel during his favourite show, that he never missed. Tails ran to his room, severely hur.

Tikal felt his pain. How could Sonic be so cruel to his own best friend?

"I told you! The Master Emerald's mine!!" yelled Knuckles, his temper flaring at the seductive bat in front of him. rouge chuckled at him.

"You just don't pay attention, do you Knucklehead? All the world's gems are mine to keep." Rouge could see Knuckles' anger rising, and giggled slightly. Knuckles couldn't take it anymore, and immediately lept at her with his fists a the ready.

Why was Rouge being so sadistic? Tikal asked herself. And was it really for Knuckles to fight her?

Cream and her Chao Cheese walked down the street to her house, but noticed a familiar black and red hedgehog on the other side.

"Hello, Mister Shadow!" she cried out happily. Shadow glanced over, but didn't respond. Cream, wondering why he didn't answer, ran over to him. "Mister Shadow, is something wrong?" "Chao, chao..." she and her pet asked in worry.

"No. Now go away." he retorted. Cream looked over at Cheese, anxiety lining every inch of her face.

"Mister Shadow, something's obviously the matter. Won't you tell us?"

"No. Get lost."

"Mister Sha..."

"I SAID GO AWAY!!!!!" he suddenly screamed, causing the poor rabbit girl to run of in frightened tears.

Poor Cream, Tikal said in her head. What was wrong with Shadow? Cream was just trying to help, he didn't have to yell at her.

The mechanical monster known as Metal Sonic traipsed through the Mystic. He had just suffered another humiliating defeat at the hands of his copy, Sonic.

"Why can't I beat him?" he asked himself. "Why? Why!? WHY!?!?" he screamed, quickly beginning to trash the surrounding area in a violent rage The noise drew Big the Cat's attention, who came out of his hut to see what was going on.

"Hey!" he shouted. "You can't do that to my home!"

"I'll do whatever I want... wait. I remember you! You're that cat who helped Sonic beat me a few months ago!"

Big looked him over, and recognised the Sonic copy. "You... you're that bad robot that pretended to be Eggman, aren't you?"

Metal simply chuckled, and flew directly at Big with his claws drawn.

Metal Sonic was always so hate filled... what was it that he hated so much? It didn't make any sense.

"Vector, we're not going to find anything here." said Espio, as he pulled his head out of a bush.

"Perseverance, Espio. If we stick at it, we're bound to find something." replied his reptilian partner.

"Hey, guys!" they heard their six-year-old colleague shot. "I've found something!"

"What is it?" asked Vector, running up to him.

"A toothbrush!" he happily cried, holding up his prize. "Finders keepers!"

Vector stared at Charmy, unable to find the right words to express how he felt. During this period of mind-blankness, he saw Amy Rose pass by.

"Hold on, guys, maybe she can help us." Vector ran up to her. "Pardon me, Miss Rose.."

"I told you Vector, Sonic's the one I love. I can't go on a date with you."

Vector's eyes nearly popped out of his head. "For the last time, I don't want a date!!"

"Oh, I think you do!" Amy said playfully. "I can see it in your eyes!"

Vector's face went red with anger, but Amy mistook this for embarassment. "Aha! I knew it!"

"Listen, ya brat!" Vector roared. "I don't want a date with you! I never have and I never will, ya dumb broad!!!"

Amy was shocked. "How dare you!" she growled pulling out her hammer.

Tikal began to cry slightly. Vector didn't have to be so hurtful. Amy made a mistake, just like everyone else did at some point.

Bullets rained down on various robots, blowing them apart. E-123 Omega barrelled right through Eggman's army, and though he couldn't feel emotion, he was having an absolute blast!

"Egg-man!" he called out in his mechanical voice. "I-told-you-I-was-the-most-pow-er-ful!" Eggman, though safe in his base, began to furiously pound the screen with his fists.

"Gah! All of my most powerful creations betray me! Why if Metal was still here, he'd show Omega a thing or two!"

Another swarm of Egg Pawns was released, and if Omega had a mouth, he would have smirked.

Tikal was now weeping into her hands. Omega would under normal circumstances have been excused, as he was a robot and must follow his programming. But he had already proven he wasn't a robot; a robot was a machine that followed orders, and he didn't. He was nothing but an emotionless killing machine, just like Metal Sonic.

Tikal stood up, and nodded her head determinedly. They must learn to stop all this hating, and she knew exactly how to do it. A few months earlier, in which the showed the best of their teamwork. Tikal planned to remind them of this, and send them through that adventure once more. But they also had to learn to appreciate one another, so she would make them go through that adventure... as each other.

Poor Tikal. All she wants is for the others to stop hating each other... Anyway, tell me what you think of the story so far, and if you have any suggestions on who I should make who, I'll be happy to hear them.
