Chapter One

This story begins 3 years after Sonic Adventure 2. Sonic and Shadow have become good  friends. They've managed to separate there differences and spend a lot of time with each other

Crimson is a bright red hedgehog with spikes like Sonic. There always seems to be a eerie  glow surrounding him…

Sonic and Shadow have bought a huge track with a loop in it since all the levels from Sonic Adventure 2 have mysteriously disappeared .

One day while Sonic and Shadow were getting ready to run some more a red blur approached there house been built near the track and it stopped while the "blur then seemed to catch up with it.

Sonic began to cautiously walk toward the figure.

Crimson froze for a moment then started walking towards Sonic.

" Hello who are you" Crimson said to Sonic in a kind voice.

Even though Crimson was a little bit shorter than Sonic he jerked back not sure what to say.

"I'm Sonic"

"I'm Crimson"

Sonic edged back a little further "What do you want?"

"Do you want to race?" asked Crimson.

All of a sudden the fear that Sonic and  Shadow had all disappeared and were filled with enthusiasm and accepted the challenge.

They all ran towards the track and ran three laps.

As they were running Sonic noticed that crimson was "glowing" and  the blur he had seen earlier was starting to return

He obviously had some way hide it though.

They reached the finish at about the same time and Crimson quickly returned to his original color.

'That was fun." said Crimson in a calm voice

For three weeks Crimson came to race again following just about the same pattern as the first day.

Sonic and Shadow allowed Crimson to use the guest room they had built in their house.

When crimson first came in he looked around grabbed a piece of paper and started drawing  a map of the track outside.

A few months after that Crimson Sonic and Shadow were racing again.

This time Crimson was ahead of Sonic and Shadow but seemed to be struggling.

Crimson was glowing bright red and  you couldn't make a definite outline of him.

By this time Sonic  wondering  about him and asked if anything was wrong.

Crimson started growing even brighter and then red energy surrounded Crimson while he was trying to stop.

The ball started shaking and then was blasted away Crimson then was hurled down the track and fell unconscious
