Chapter One: Ghost

It was a warm summer day in Station Square and everyone was outside enjoying the weather in the park. While everyone was enjoying themselves, one male hedgehog was sitting under a tree in the shade sleeping. He had jet black fur with dark gray streaks in his hair and was wearing a gray trench coat. He was wearing black army boots that were not in that good of condition. His name was Ghost the Hedgehog

Suddenly, dark orange eyes opened to the sound of an explosion, followed by the screams of people around him. As he got up, there was another explosion much closer to him than the last. As mobians and humans ran for their lives, Ghost walked towards the chaos to see what was going on.

"This is the third time this week, clearly Eggman is being more persistent than usual," the black hedgehog grumbled. "I'm sick of those so called heroes of Station Square letting the idiot escape every single time. It's about time someone gave the doctor a good lesson," he said to himself.

Ghost climbed up a nearby building that was about ten stories high with ease. He took out pieces to a sniper rifle out of his trench coat and assembled it quickly. He laid down on his chest near the ledge of the building, looking down his scope trying to find out where Eggman was.

Meanwhile, the Freedom Fighters had arrived to the scene and were currently fighting off Eggman's robots. Eggman was in his flying Egg Mobile watching the whole fight. He was about to taunt his enemies, but then he heard his name being called on his radio.

"Who is this and how did you find my channel?" Eggman asked.

"This is your third attack of the week; I'm starting to get sick of this," a cold, deep voice spoke.

"Who are you? Are you one of Sonic's friends?" the doctor asked, this time sounding a bit worried and scared.

"I'm the man who's going to kill you," was the last thing Eggman heard before the sound of static filled the radio.

Ghost put his radio away and looked back down the sight of his Barrett .50 Caliber. He had a clear visual of Eggman, who was about five blocks away, but it looked like Eggman was trying to get to his flagship that was hovering 1,000 feet in the air. Acting quickly, the dark hedgehog aimed and shot Eggman. "Damn it," Ghost muttered when he realized the bullet missed Eggman's head and instead hit his shoulder.

Eggman fell out of his Egg Mobile and fell to the ground below. Luckily, he didn't fall high enough to die, and only broke both of his legs. But the doctor's sense of good luck dwindled when he saw Ghost teleport right in front of him, holding a red chaos emerald in his left hand, and a pistol in the other. Meanwhile, Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge were watching this unfold in disbelief.

"You shot me!" Eggman accused Ghost, who was standing beside him.

"I missed, that bullet should have gone through your head," Ghost hissed, "but don't worry, this one will," he said, aiming the barrel of his pistol in between Eggman's eyes.

Before he could pull the trigger, Sonic tackled Ghost, causing him to drop his gun and fall face first onto the ground.

"What the hell is wrong with you hedgehog?" Ghost yelled, glaring at Sonic as he got up off the ground.

"If you killed him, you would be just as bad as him," the blue hero answered.

"If I kill him, then no one would ever have to worry about this bastard ever again," Ghost argued, hatred burning in his orange eyes.

He shoved Sonic out of his way and picked up the pistol he dropped when he fell. As soon as he looked up, the last thing he saw was the head of an oversized hammer.
