Rougesweet16 note: This takes place months after my first fic, so winter's over. There's at least five characters added in this story. Let me know how this story goes, I'll shut up…
Chapter 1
Rain…
That was all there was for the past few days, and during those days the weather has been the same. Pouring during a sunny day, dewy during a peaceful night. But of course, this odd weather did not bother this individual, as he was now in a state where no one would interfere with him.
A light blue blur sweped through the beach of the Emerald Coast. Sonic the Hedgehog was doing what he loves and does best; he was running. It was when he could feel his sense of self, what was the essence of himself. Sonic was now at peace. To be as free as the wind blowing across the city must be an indulgent feeling for him. But then when you think about it, that exact feeling was Sonic. You can almost feel that aura the instant you see him flashing a smile.
Sonic stopped running, but continued walking along the edge of the coast. He didn't mind the water splashing against his shoes, he was in deep thought. More to the point, thinking about his last adventure. That time, the ingenious Dr. Robotnik had planned to dominate the world once again with an army of robots that were infused with a special liquid called the Egg Extract, which acted as a sort of organic brain. What the Sonic Heroes later found out was that Eggman's main robots; Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, and Zero planned to betray him to rule the world themselves. Then they were able to transform into enormous three-headed dragon machine.
That was when the Sonic Team went into action. With their combined efforts, that threat was no more and the heroes returned to their homes.
Sonic looked up at the benighted sky, though it was covered with dark rain clouds, as it has been for days. But it was getting late. Sonic covered his mouth as he yawned. 'It'll probably rain again tomorrow.' He thought. 'Guess I'll hang out at Tails' place or something.' Sonic was getting ready to sprint again, but was then distracted by a small twinkling light close by. Sonic wanted to check it out and he ran to where it turned out to be, water.
"Why does it have to be water?" he moaned. When he got to the water, he took a closer look and spotted a sparking jewel. 'Is that what I think it is?' he asked himself. Sonic reached out his hand and grabbed the jewel out of the water. It filled the palm of is hand. "It's a Chaos Emerald." He said.
He continued to stare at the dark blue stone, then he felt a light breeze blowing as he thought he saw something moving from behind him. Sonic quickly turned around, but didn't see anything unusual. He eyed suspiciously at his surroundings, then shrugged and started to run back to the city.
As soon as Sonic was out of sight, the water suddenly made a strange current and formed a small black sphere. It slowly came out of the water. A set of red sinister eyes appeared. It didn't move but echoes were heard from its dark matter. The voices kept repeating the same word: power…power…power. For the longest time it stayed where it was, but then it disappeared into the shadows.
The Next Morning…
"So far, things are okay…" said the young twin-tailed fox. Tails would be known as the mechanical genius of the Sonic Team. His abilities rivaled Dr. Robotnik himself. Tails, the inventor that he is was now spending his leisure time building another form of item from a few machine parts he found the night before.
(Flashback)
Tails found himself exploring the remains of the fallen air base of the now deceased Dr. Eggman, where the Sonic Heroes had fought the Metal Overlord. The surroundings basically turned into a wasteland by the many demolished flagships and metal parts. Yet, Tails did not recall any of the Sonic Team destroying the main fortress.
Since it was raining for a few days, everything looked old and rusted. The area was quite polluted with the nuclear waste liquids. Tails continued to search throughout the area, until he had spotted a familiar contraption. Tails was sure that it was the same battle robot that had fought along side Shadow and Rouge. The robot called himself Omega.
Tails could see that Omega's body was just as rusted and decaying as everything else in the place was, but the body had somehow managed to hold together. Tails gently took the robot and examined it carefully. He was amazed at the amounts of weaponry that was concealed in its arms. It was impressive. Searching deeper, Tails was able to find Omega's hardware system and a few switches. He tried a few buttons, until he switched on the hardware. Tails noticed that Omega was no longer able to move his limbs or other body parts.
"-I am Omega-" It had the same voice. "The ultimate E-series robot."
Omega's hardware system then made a few beeping and whistling tones. "Scanning subject identification…" There was a pause, until… "Subject known as Miles Prower, resident of Station Square."
(End Flashback)
Since then, Tails has been working on what to do with Omega's functional remains, until he had thought of a unique invention. Until he was finished on what he was doing, Tails couldn't wait for Sonic visited him.
"Finally, everything's set!"
