AUTHORS NOTE

This is my first Sonic the Hedgehog story, and I hope it will become one of my best. I will try to update this story every couple of days, so I hope you review so I can see how I'm going. The first chapter involves Sonic, Tails, Amy Rose and Sally Acorn invading one of Dr. Robotnik's evil factories that was once believed to been abandoned.

OUR STORY STARTS IN A DESERTED MOBIUS AREA

"Please, come on!" Amy said angrily, looking at Sonic with concern.
"No, I don't want you coming," the blue hedgehog Sonic told the pink nuisance Amy Rose.
They were both standing near one of Robotnik's factories, with Tails and Sally Acorn.
"Why not?" Amy asked angrily as she looked at Tails. Tails shrugged.
"Sonic is right," the fox Tails said. "It's too dangerous, and we don't want Eggman knowing that we here. You would only stand in our way."
Amy sighed and looked around. She knew she couldn't come along, and Sonic's word was final.
"…And Tails, you can stay here too," continued Sonic, who absorbed Tails' look of shock. "Look over the girls and make sure they don't get into trouble."
Tails' two tails drooped. "What? I thought I was going to come along with you?" asked the fox angrily.
"I'm sorry," Sonic replied. And with that, Sonic ran up the wall of the abandoned factory and out of sight.
Amy looked at Sally, and then smiled devilishly. "Well, what are we waiting for?" she asked.
Tails looked up. "Waiting for what?" he asked quietly.
The pink hedgehog rolled her eyes. "Lets check out this place, Sonic can't boss us around," she said.
"…Maybe not, Sonic is right, we should stay here. If Sonic is right then Eggman is here, and that means trouble. Amy, you always get into trouble with Eggman!" replied Tails angrily, spitting.
Sally put her hand onto Tails' shoulder. "Come on, we will be careful," Sally said softly. Tails rolled his eyes then groaned.
"Fine… lets just be careful, OK? No heroic stuff, leave that for Sonic," Tails said as he looked around. There was a vent to the left, and Tails did not want to go along Sonic's route of entrance.
"Let's go then," Tails said as he detached the vent's opening.

"Watch where you put your feet!" Sally said angrily as she felt Amy's foot in her face.
Amy looked behind her. "Sorry…" Amy droned, making sure she wouldn't do it again. She started crawling along the chute again and bumped into Tails.
"Hush!" Tails said softly as he put his finger to his lips. "There are Egg Sweepers here."
"Egg Sweepers?" asked Amy and Sally together.
Tails smirked. "They 'sweep' the chutes, checking for intruders. They also give you a nasty electric shock if you're caught by one of them. Me and Sonic got a shock out of them once."
Amy heard a zapping noise and saw a very Robotnik-like robot scour the chute branch way in front of them. "See?" Tails said in astonishment.
Sally gasped. They were lucky it hadn't seen them. "I hope Sonic is alright," Amy said as she pondered.
It appeared like the chute was going on forever. Soon enough though, the chute branched off to an exit and Tail's detached it easy enough.
"Where are we?" Sally asked nervously as she looked around the room. It was a small room, with a large metal door and a control console next to it. Light was coming from the vent on the roof and…
"What's that?" Amy asked cautiously, looking on the ground near the door. It was Sonic's light ring. "It's Sonic's," Amy said as she picked up the ring.
"Do you think he went through here?" Tails asked both Sally and Amy. Sally eyed on the console, which had a square engraving on the wall above it.
"Well, I think we should try to find Sonic… and Eggman," Sally asked. Tails nodded. "Who is going to open this door?" Sally asked again.
"Let us do it, you can try to find Eggman," Amy said to Tails softly as she put her hand through her pink quills. She tried to look confident.
"All right... but I'm the techno genius here," replied Tails as he dislodged the large vent near the console. "Be careful," he continued before climbing into the chute and out of sight, leaving Amy and Sally to deal with the situation.
"This shouldn't be too hard, I think," Amy said to Sally as she looked at the console carefully. There were numerous buttons on the console.
"Just choose any!" Sally said impatiently, reaching her arm and hastily pushing a random button. But, instead of the door opening, a square panel opening appeared in front of their faces.
"Whats that?" asked Amy impatiently. She put her face to the square opening to have a closer look.
Inside, surprisingly, was a fabled jewel, a Chaos Emerald.
"Oh gosh," Amy said excitedly. "Sally... it's a Chaos Emerald!"
Sally started to take a look inside the square opening. "Well what are you waiting for? Grab it!"
Amy put her hand into the square opening and reached for the emerald. It felt surprisingly cool in her hand, especially because she was wearing gloves.
"It's so cold…" Amy said as she started to pull the emerald out of the opening. Suddenly, Amy heard hissing and a jet of pink gas protruded from the opening into both girls faces.
"Sleeping gas…" Sally moaned as her eyes rolled back into her head. Amy groaned, collapsing unconscious next to Sally.

"Wake up!" gruffed Robotnik as Amy and Sally stirred awake. Amy looked around. She was in a cage apparently, and Eggman was standing on the outside.
"Where am I?" asked Sally groggily as she rubbed her eyes.
"You were idiots and tried to steal my Chaos Emerald. Lucky I placed a trap so people like you wouldn't steal it. Sonic tried to steal the same emerald, and the same thing happened to him."
Amy stood up. "You gassed him like you gassed us… where is he, you giant talking egg?" she shouted, pulling Sonic's light ring out of her dress pocket.
"He is at Casinopolis trying to get me another Chaos Emerald…"
Sally stood up. "Sonic would never follow orders from you, stop lying."
"He does now. I managed to create a clone of him, and I programmed the clone to follow my orders. Sonic is still alive, of course…" smirked Robotnik, "But he isn't in this room."
Amy groaned. "Let us out of here now!" Amy shouted. Dr. Robotnik just laughed.
"Not until I clone you guys as well," replied Robotnik, looking at the horror in both girls faces.
"Clone us? But how?" Sally asked, nearing tears. Tears of fear of what might happen.
Robotnik laughed. "You will see soon enough," he said, walking to a control panel near the wall. He pushed a button, and then left the room smirking to himself.
"On the count of three," Sally said, "Lets ram the cage and try to push the bars down."
Amy nodded. "One… two…" Amy muttered. "Three," both girls said as they ran at the cage with all their might.
Just as Amy pushed against the cage, she felt such a strong electric shock run through her body, as well as Sally's.
ZAP! Amy fell backwards just as everything faded black.
