Chapter 1 "The Ruin City"
Mike looked out into
the distance.
There was a luminescent glow of orange and red, the
city was still lit with small flames, and the medal was hot.
Steam
rose into the air when the water tower dripped on the hot surfaces.
It had been a long
time since Mike got the chance to see the city again.
This used to
be his home, and when Chaos Control took him the city went along with
it.
Sonic's world had been destroyed, and he was left in a small
untouched location, away from Blake's reign.
A lot of the
buildings were completely burned down to the ground, and there were
piles of ash and fire-tinted black wood and melted metal.
This
used to be his home, and still was now, even after the great fire.
Mike sighed. "I guess it's not much use now, but still, I'm a little curious,"
Mike was a red fox with a black leather jacket on, he had bandages around his leg and a medallion around his neck.
He looked pretty normal, apart from the look in his eyes.
Mike used to be a professional bodyguard, and knew a lot about protecting people, it was what he was trained to do.
He was only nine years old however, the only reason he was trained was because his father was a bodyguard as well, and Mike had always studied him closely.
Back before the city was destroyed, Mike used to go with his father to work everyday, watching and learning.
But a lot of people were lost when the city burned up.
Sadly, the only ones he managed to save after the fire were two of his closest friends, Matt and Gizmo, and both of them had went their separate ways and moved away.
He always had an attachment to this city, he didn't really understand why, but he always felt at home there.
Mike walked down the steps; the city was still on fire and was dangerous.
But danger was never much of a red flag for Mike, he was young after all.
"This is kinda depressing…" Mike thought to himself, looking the place over. "Maybe I should leave before it gets worse,"
Mike suddenly heard a weak voice. "Somebody…"
He started looking around. "Could somebody be alive? That's impossible! No way they survived that fire!"
Mike was right; nobody could have possibly survived those explosions and the flash fire and the chemical fire, and the buildings that fell down.
Somebody would have had to have come more recently then that.
"HELLO!" Mike sounded out. "Keep talking! I'll follow the sound of your voice!"
Mike looked all over, but the sound died down until there was nothing but silence.
