A small girl stared out the window of her work station, stormy blue eyes focused at the city before her. It was a moderately large town, with many natural resources, but with little to no police system. That made it so easy for Dr. Ivo Robotnik to take over the city, and enslave its people...or risk 'disappearing'. She sighed, then looked back at her so-called job. Children her age were forced to work in large factories, assembling robots which supplied Robotnik's army. The same army which nearly destroyed her city, and killed her loved ones. The girl shook her head, looking down at the many injuries on her battered arms, then thought out loud, words hidden underneath the thunderous noise of the machines, "What I'd give for someone to help us."
At that moment, a small boy with blue spikes and emerald eyes was running through the city, lost and confused. His home and city was destroyed in a robotic raid, leaving him stranded and alone. Sighing in defeat, he leaned against a wall, eyes downcast. Suddenly, the clock tower that rose above the fortified city rang 6:10, and a stampede of panicking townspeople rushed out of the many office buildings that lined the streets. The boy, even more confused, tried to escape, but was shoved to the ground by a portly man, and landed on the factory worker, her stormy blue eyes wide in shock. She pulled him into an alley, devoid of frenzied people, and asked, "Who are you? And why did you randomly assault me?"
Little did she know that her 'assaulter' would answer her request...
