Well Here I am in the Sonic Section. I hope that I did a good job. I haven't been into Sonic in a While (What was wrong with me?!) but now I'm back. Forgive me if a few facts are off or skewed. Please R&R

Chapter 1

It is a funny thing how the events of a long strange week can give one a headache even when your not thinking about them. That is exactly what Sonic was annoyed with. He had a severe headache from the multiple things that had happened this week and another frustrating thing was that the pain was causing him to dwell on them even more. It had started out slow; Robotnik wasn't causing trouble which was an odd thing in of itself. Knuckles had been guarding the Master Emerald on Angle Island. This wasn't a strange thing that is until he called Sonic to tell him that he had found some long lost ruins of the Echidna and these ruins had revealed some rather unwelcome news. The ruins held the entire history of the Emeralds including their prehistory. This was a passage that had been in the main hall.

"Across the void of deepest black from which no star shines, dwells a place of dark evil. Evil beyond all beings from which shines the power of Omega, the great Star of Chaos from which the seven gems were born. From this place Omega sent forth the gems of Chaos across the void to one home, there to await the one who could unite them and open the path to Omega."

Sonic had been troubled by this. The Gems of Chaos were originally thought to be the Chaos Emeralds but as Knuckles had continued to search it became quite clear that these were not the Gems of Chaos. They were apparently Gemstones that had been created by infusing Chaos energy from the Master Emeralds. According to this new information there where seven Master Emeralds hidden here somewhere. If any of Sonics enemies were to get there hands on all of these Emeralds the chances of victory were very low. Sonic cursed quietly to himself. He wanted to relax and he wanted his head to stop pounding. This hadn't been the only thing that had happened this week.

Tails had managed to kick his courage in high gear and had asked Amy's friend Cream out. This had been a very funny event. They had always been friendly to each other but this had been rather surprising to everyone. Her reaction had been a very odd but funny mixture of emotions. She had gaped in surprise, then giggled, then started crying for some unknown reason. Tails had wisely left her be because a few seconds later she had began throwing things. They had later learned that Tails had asked her at a bad time, she had apparently had a very bad week. Amy had told them that Cream had accepted to go out with him Tails had hoped to be told this alone and it was amusing to see him blush such a deep shade of scarlet. His face had been literally glowing red with embarrassment. They still hadn't set a date but this was his business not Sonic's so he thought of something else. Shadow had contacted Sonic for information on the Oil Ocean and Sonic had (after some hesitance) told him all he knew.

Apparently satisfied Shadow had left without another word, Sonic had wondered what that had been about but didn't want to dwell on that because it would cause his head to hurt harder. He stretched out on the beach chair that he was laying on. He was tired of thinking on these things; he wanted to have a relaxing break without having his head throbbing as if he had been banging his head against a wall. He looked out on the sea that was gently smacking against the shore, Amy had once told him that swimming could be very relaxing but he had never learned how to swim. He hated the water though when the need arose he'd get through it in the end. He sat up and thought of other things that relaxed him; there was running always there was running, he loved running more than anything else but even he had his on limits on stamina.

He wanted to relax but he also wanted to lounge. He came to a decision; he would run until he was worn down a little though this would take awhile but he didn't mind. He stood and looked off into the distance; He and Tails were staying at a hotel on a beach in New Metropolis. This city was a resort city and the hotel in which they were staying was owned by an old couple that Sonic had saved a few years back. He saw that there was beach and fields running for miles on his left; canyons and prairies on the right. The left path looked calming but the right path seemed more likely to keep him on his toes with the twisting landscape and sudden drops. He stretched again and began running to the right gaining speed until he came to steady sixty miles per hour.

He suddenly shot off charging for the nearest loop, he cleared it easily and began following a very difficult path at break neck speed. Unknown to Sonic there stood a hooded figure with glowing red eyes standing on a ridge over a mile on Sonics right. He stared unblinkingly at the fast moving blue blur, and said,
"Target: Sonic the Hedgehog,
Threat Level Assessment: None.
Current Objective: Observe.
Mission Successes Probability: One Hundred Percent.
Companion Assessment:
Miles Prower: Critical weakness found,
Amy Rose: Critical Weakness Known
Knuckles the Echidna: No Probable Weakness Threat Level: Mid Level,
Shadow the Hedgehog: Neutral No friendly ties to target."

He continued to watch Sonic until he noticed that he had changed direction and was now heading directly for him. The figure turned and left the ridge just as Sonic came within sight of the cliff. Sonic could have sworn he saw someone standing on that cliff, the cloak had looked familiar but it couldn't be him. He had been destroyed in the last encounter so how could he be here. Sonic shook himself and thought that it probably would be best to be safe; Robotnik had made thousands of minor models and it wouldn't take much to make it into a far worse enemy. Thinking that because the chance was there and since Sonic knew that he was hostile towards him Sonic felt that it would probably be a good idea to head back.

He turned and ran back towards the hotel that was only just in sight from this point. Sonic came to a skidding halt in front of the Hotels back door less than a minute later and saw that Knuckles had just arrived. Knuckles walked over to Sonic and asked without any real interest, "Have a good run?" Sonic nodded but knew that Knuckles wasn't interested. He always wasn't when he was preoccupied, Knuckles decided to skip to the point. He reached into a bag and pulled out the Chaos Emeralds and handed them to Sonic while saying, "Take a look at these and tell me what you see." Sonic took them and felt the familiar power within them; He looked at them but didn't see anything different about them.

He looked at Knuckles and said, "I don't see anything different," Knuckles looked at him and said, "They are brighter than usual, they are glowing brighter." Sonic looked back at the emeralds and did notice this time that they were indeed glowing (if only by a little) brighter, He asked Knuckles, "Why are they doing this? What does it mean?" Knuckles looked around checking for eavesdroppers and then answered, "I have the information that we need to find the other Master Emeralds, but I'll tell you when were inside and when Tails has joined us. I feel that I also must be the first to tell you that the first Master Emerald was stolen by…." Sonic cut across him and gave the rest of the sentence and hating the answer at the same time, "Metal Sonic." Knuckles nodded and said, "If he has the Master Emerald and knows of the existence of the others then we have a big problem on our hands." Sonic nodded and thought quietly to himself, "Great, I don't get to have my vacation after all."
