Chapter 1: dawn of a new day.
I woke up in a hospital, not knowing what happened after I pasted out.
"Red probably brought me to the hospital." I thought. I looked around. I was in a typical hospital room with 2 beds on either sides, a few devices that made noise and a small TV with only one remote, which was in between of the 2 beds. A shot of pain in my arm gained my attention. My arm was filled with bandages. The nurse came in, and she was a familiar face to me.
"Hi vanilla." I said to Vanilla the rabbit. She wore pink scrubs, so I assumed she was an intern, because I saw the show Scrubs allot.
"Hi Jason, feeling better? Remember, don't use your arm." she asked while she was checking my bandages.
"A little bit. What happened after I passed out?"
"After you passed out, your friends carried you all the way to a hospital, with Spirit…" she couldn't finish her sentence, because Spirit walked in.
"How are you?" She asked with her sweet, soft, female voice. Her outfit of choice looked very female, a rose colored skirt with a white blouse and regular heels.
"Fine." I said. Then the mayor of metropolis walked in. nobody really knew his name.
"There he is, our hero!" he said. "I want to speak to you, alone." Spirit and Vanilla walked away.
"What's the matter sir?" I asked.
"Nothing, but I want to give you this medal." He gave me a golden medal with a hedgehog on it.
" You know that we have an archive about all the heroes, right?" he asked. I nodded.
"We want you to go and live with all the other heroes in Metropolis." He said.
"Can my friends come visit?" he walked away, leaving the key and a note for me. Vanilla gave me my food.
2 weeks later.
I was able to use my arm again. I went back to school in my blue pants with white t-shirt and black vest. I also wore my shoes with purple back and army-green upper front and white lower front. My school was like that school from "Ned's declassified" from nickelodeon. (it's hard to explain, but if you'll watch just 1 episode, then you'll have an idea of my school.) I walked to my locker, where Spirit was waiting for me.
"I have to tell you something, Jason." She wore a white shirt with a brownish jacket and blue-black pants. she put her hand on my shoulder and closed her eyes.
"I am a telekinetic, I can talk with my mind, read minds and I can move objects with my mind." I heard in my head. Spirit nodded, so she said it in my head.
"Can you hear me to?" I thought.
"Yes."
"I need to let you about my powers."
"Sure, what is it?"
"I'm a pyrokinetic. I can control fire and create a sword by my fire." Then, the bell went, I grabbed my books from my locker and walked to my class. I had math from Mr. Kinston. He was the worst teacher you could ever have, almost bald, 50 years and he hates kids.
"Everybody, sit down. Jason, I see that you're back, without the homework Red gave you." He said with his "I hate kids" voice.
"Red never gave me homework." I said, looking at Red, who was looking at me like he wanted to say "forgotten!".
"Then you'll need to work very hard for tomorrow. It's the first 3 pages about chapter 4." I looked around class and saw Critter sitting in the corner. Critter is a fox with 1 tail, his skin is red with a black tail point and he always wore camouflage colored clothes. No one wanted to talk to his, just because he was strange. I sat down and worked on the homework.
After school.
I walked with Spirit and Jazz home.
"There is something strange about our new teacher, Mr. man. He looks… familiar."Jazz said. Mr. man had a large nose, like that from a hawk, with a reddish mustache pointing to the left and right.
"Indeed. Where have I seen him before?" I thought.
"I don't know" I heard inside my head, with Spirit's voice.
"Maybe he is…" more I couldn't say, because I heard an explosion near school. We ran towards it. When we were near school, we saw Red, Frost, Flare, Sonic, Blaze, Rose and Shade.
"Did everybody hear the explosion?!" Blaze said. We walked inside school. It was ravaged, the lockers were open and emptied, the doors were scattered. I summoned my sword and we formed groups. Me and Spirit and Sonic, Blaze, Rose, Frost, Flare, Red, Jazz and Shade, because I was the only one with a weapon and the rest needed as many protection as they could get.
"Do you think Mr. man is behind this?" Spirit asked.
"I don't know, but I think so." I replied. Then, a mechanic hedgehog attacked us. I sliced him in half and ran away. We arrived at the teachers lounge, together with the rest, and walked in. we saw someone sitting in the headmasters chair, it turned around.
"So, you finally found me?! How convenient." It was dr. Eggman/Mr. Man. He waved with his hand and thousand metal hedgehogs attacked. We ran away.
Outside
We saw Critter walking into the woods. As soon as we passed him, he saw the metal hedgehogs and ran with us. After a few minutes, the robots stopped following us, so we made camp.
"What are we going to do tomorrow? We need food and weapons. Jason can't create millions of swords, can you?" Sonic said.
"I can't, sorry. But I can get weapons from a kind of ring, if I have it, I can create up to 20 sword with special abilities." I said.
"But if we have the 7 emeralds, we don't need weapons."
"Let's just go to sleep, tomorrow, we'll get food and weapons."
The next day
We walked towards station square. We walked towards the gun shop, but we couldn't walk over the street, because it was overrun by robots.
"We need to send someone as a decoy." Sonic said. Immediately Red ran over the street, luring all the robots after him. We walked in. I looked at the pistols, while Spirit grabbed a m16 and a stakeout. I grabbed a five-seven and an AK-74u. I gave everybody a colt 1911 and a scorpion. We walked out toward the forest again.
In the forest.
"Let's make teams. Me, Spirit, Critter and Rose will stay here. Frost, Flare and Jazz will search for the chaos emeralds and Sonic, Blaze and Shade will search for survivors." I said. We split up. We waited at our base and Spirit started to flirt with me.
"You're a really good leader." She said while she was playing with her spikes and sounding drunk.
"Did you find any booze? You sound drunk." I said. Spirit had the age that it was legal to drink, she was 16.
"No, but I did find a cool place at the other side of the cliff. Want to go there?" She came very close.
"Sure, but you're a bit to close." I walked away. "let's first wait for the rest, so they can also look." I grabbed my five-seven and looked at it. Then I heard a rumble in the bushes. Some robots attacked, so we ran towards the cliff. I jumped towards the edge and used my flames to hover myself towards and walkable edge. Spirit and the rest joined me.
"Where is that cool place?" I asked Spirit. She walked towards it and opened it. It looked like a place I would stay for a nuclear war. It had power, food and water. In the corner, there was a Olympia with a lot of cases to shoot. I grabbed it and gave Critter my AK-74u. there were a lot of rooms for everyone, including everyone who was still outside. I walked towards the computer room, closed the gate and activated the camouflage system.
"What are you doing?" I heard a female voice saying behind me. I looked back and saw Rose.
"Is everyone from your team back?" I asked.
"Yes, how are you? I mean your arm." She touched it.
"It still hurts a bit."
"Can I help with something?"
"Not that I know, but ask Spirit or Critter." She walked away. I looked at the surveying cameras and saw a reddish form running past camera 2 and 3 at the hazmat suit area. Then, it walked past camera 1, in the hallway towards the computer area. The form was to small to be a hedgehog or a fox, so it had to be an animal or a very small creature. I heard the door open behind me, and I saw a turquoise chao with a red top. He walked towards me like he knew me of years. I walked towards the bedroom to go to sleep, but my ears heard piano music. I walked towards the sound and saw a simple room with a piano and a few other music instruments. Spirit was playing the piano.
"Wow. That's impressive." I said.
"Thanks. Do you play the piano to?" she asked.
"No, I tried, but I don't have the fingers for it." I sat next to her to try it out. The only thing I really could was play one tone at a time.
"Have you tried this?" she put her hand behind me and helped me.
"Thanks." I said. I heard the door open and looked. It was Red, he found his way back.
"How are you brother?" he asked with a mean voice. I saw his hand getting blue and an electric cloud surrounded his hands. He shot one cloud at me and I froze by electric for a second. I tried to move, when Red planted his fist against my face. I tried to stand up, but he was way to fast for me. I whipped past my lip and saw blood. I finally could stand up. I summoned my sword and swung it towards him, but it missed. He punched me again, which made me fall on the floor. Red kicked me in the stomach.
"Red, enough." I heard from a very familiar voice. I couldn't look who said it, because I had tears in my eyes. Then I collapsed.
