Chapter 1: The Airplane
The night was young, and Sonic the Hedgehog looked out the plane window. They were about to land in Station Square, and Sonic was glad to be home.
He could see the city in the distance and put his gloved hand to the window. "I'm nearly home."
He was on his way back from Rome, and smiled. A stewardess walked past and into the back. The man who had called her looked worried. "There's something inside the cargo hold," he said.
She looked at him and frowned with confusion. "Like what; other than the passengers luggage?"
The man nodded. "I heard a shriek, and could hear something moving."
"A shriek? Then how come no one else heard it? We do have an anthro on board after all."
The man shrugged. He opened the compartment but didn't see anything, so he closed it.
The stewardess bit her finger in worry. "If there really is something in there...it must be hiding. It's not safe to go in."
"What should we do?"
The woman was about to answer when they heard a screech. The cargo door bent and began to break.
"We have to move away from the door! Now!" the stewardess exclaimed, panicked, backing away from the door.
The man nodded and backed away. A few minutes later, the cargo door broke and a large bat appeared. The stewardess covered her mouth in horror. Before she could stop herself, she screamed all her fear out. The people in the airplane, including Sonic, all turned towards the back of the plane. When they saw the bat, the entire plane was filled with screams.
Minutes later at the airport, the people in the tower saw the plane land. Then, it stopped moving altogether. Some people inside the airport felt like something was wrong when no one got off the plane. So, they decided to go outside to see for themselves what was wrong. What they saw shocked them.
"Call the CDC and the police," the operator said to another. "This is bad."
He nodded, but before he left he said. "I'll also call G.U.N." The man left and thought about what he had seen. All the passengers were dead. There was that had shocked him the most. He had see Sonic The Hedgehog's body among the many on the plane. That wasn't a good thing. Their hero...dead. Minutes later, some employees from the CDC had arrived. Tails had gotten a job there a while ago and was on the scene. Shadow was there as a representative of GUN.
"What happened here?" He asked the operator.
"We don't know. The plane just landed and no one came out. We just assumed something was wrong and we were right," the operator replied to the question.
As they came up to the plane, Tails and Shadow took a quick look in and the first body they saw was a blue hedgehog, sitting in a seat and eyes closed. Tails' eyes widened in horror as tears appeared at the edges of his eyes. "S...Sonic...NO!"
Shadow looked at him in sympathy. The two looked around the plane and frowned.
"How did this happen?" Shadow asked.
Tails sighed and looked to the cargo hold. "Should I check the luggage compartment?"
Shadow looked at it and narrowed his eyes. "Is that supposed to be open?"
Tails shook his head and walked over to it. "I'm not sure, but it's worth looking into." He got to the doorway and into the compartment. It was dark and there was hardly any light. Tails turned to his head to look at Sonic's body as a tear fell from his eye.
He looked around for a flashlight and grabbed one, then shone it in the cargo hold. There wasn't anything there.
"There isn't anything in here!" He called to Shadow. He moved a little further into the compartment. He had a feeling that whatever had caused his brother's death was in here.
Suddenly, he saw something. It was a large wooden box, and it was open.
"Find anything?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah, a box. A wooden one. It's open as well," Tails answered Shadow. His expression showed worry. Whatever had been in this box that killed everyone on the plane and Sonic...must still be out there.
