14 Months: Chapter 1

In Eggman's Base, Sonic was inside one of the cells. He was kidnapped and held prisoner for 14 months. None of his friends knew where Sonic was or even rescued him. He spent days doing nothing but wait for a miracle to happen, but it never did, even the citizens of Station Square and everywhere else didn't notice this or try ordering G.U.N to call a search party to look for him or why it was so quiet. He was very lonely in his cell and was all the time. Each day Sonic would write in his journal that he found lying around in the cell when he first came in and write about how the imprisonment is holding. Eggman never started his plans to conquer the world because he planned it when Sonic's friends were in sight. It was strange when Eggman didn't do that but if he did, Tails and the others would've stopped him and came to his rescue.

Inside Eggman's control room, Eggman waited for getting a bit worried if that they would come to rescue Sonic or find out about his disappearance. He didn't know how long he was cooped up inside his base waiting but apparently he was bored and annoyed. He was excited to finally take over the world to create Eggmanland at the start, but waiting for the right moment was bad. Why didn't Tails and the others figure out where their best friend was missing for the whole time? Did they look anywhere for him? Are they worried about him? Eggman couldn't tell what the others were thinking or doing. Eggman then went back to reality.

"What is taking them so long? Hmm… is it just me or has Tails and the others forgot about Sonic." Eggman told himself. He thought of something that might help Sonic out with the others. "Maybe I should let him go now and help him. After all, my plan's no good. After that, I'll kidnap Sonic again and make an even better plan to conquer the world, if Sonic doesn't slip away again."

Eggman then started walking out of his control room and headed over to Sonic's cell. If he was going to help Sonic out with the others, he was going to do something to convince him to help out. Sonic watched Eggman come to him. He didn't know what was going to happen next after sitting in a cell for 14 months but he was willing to keep up a fight.

"What do you want now Eggman?" Sonic asked. He was getting tired of Eggman visiting him just to tell him that he was almost ready to take over the world.

"I've decided to let you go." Eggman answered.

Sonic was confused. Why would Eggman free him? This didn't add up for Sonic.

"Huh? You're joking right?"

"No! I want to help you out with the others." Eggman told him.

The others? Sonic was still thinking about them, he never stopped at all. If Tails and the others were part of Eggman's plan why would Eggman help him? He just wished he was rescued sooner and he would've been here with Eggman, who just decided to set him free right this minute. For the last 424 days as Eggman's prisoner the only person he was able to talk to was just Eggman. Sonic missed Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, Silver and Blaze so much and he was now actually worried of what would happen when once he steps out of Eggman's Base and see's the others, if they actually missed him. He then just remembered something.

"What if this is another trick of yours?"

"No tricks, besides, there's nothing to think about for my next plan."

"Well…" Sonic paused. If it was a trick, Sonic would've questioned Eggman until he admitted it or just get caught by surprise. This sounded pretty awkward when Eggman said that he would help him out. But if he agreed for Eggman to help out, Sonic thought of something that can change Eggman's personality around him instead of the same routine over and over again when trying to win this game for once. "Okay then, but on one condition."

"Oh great!" Eggman yelled.

"Do you want to help me out or not? This was your idea after all." Sonic reminded him.

Eggman wasn't going to like what Sonic was going to say to him. Was it good or was it bad? Eggman knew that Sonic was a kind, brave and honest hedgehog so he was feeling calm, a bit.

"Okay fine! What do you want me to do?"

"You have to promise me that you do nothing evil for the next of the month." Sonic told him.

Being nice? Doing nothing evil? Well this annoyed Eggman. He was never nice to Sonic or the others. It wasn't in his DNA to be nice also a month seemed like eternity for him. "Oh we've just started this month!"

Sonic stared at him angrily. Eggman had no choice there "Fine."

Eggman then unlocked Sonic's cell and Sonic was now free. All Sonic wanted to do now was to go home and see all of his friends again. That part of was making Sonic a bit nervous as he never saw them for 14 months. He then grabbed his journal and walked out of the cell.

"Mind if I come to your place Sonic? I can help you with the others." Eggman suggested. He felt weird now that he asked something like that to his number one nemesis. Sonic had won, again. Sonic then actually like the offer he brought up, he wished that Eggman was like this more often now, only the others like Knuckles and Shadow wouldn't agree with it. The others like Tails, Amy, Blaze, Silver and Rouge, they would be less aggressive then the two of them.

"Yeah okay. At least I was able to talk to someone all this time." Sonic answered and still had the whole memory of the imprisonment stuck in his head.

So Sonic and Eggman then walked out of Eggman's Base after leaving the room Sonic was been held all that time. Being relieved and happy, Sonic was now finally anxious to head back home and be able to run to every place in the world like he used to do on adventures. The two enemies then headed out of the base and started walking to Sonic's House.
