Sonic didn't know what to expect and certainly not the horrible tortures which he was about to endure withing the walls of the Academy. but looking at it's steel gate and redbrick walls with bars on all the windows he knew it was something he did not want to be linked to. The uniform was horrible too. The black pants, white shirt and school emblem vest and tie (for which he was very glad it was a clip on) how on Mobius did he end up here? The Car stopped at the main entrance. He was scared, imagine being 5 years old and being separated from everything you've ever known that was his current situation and he wanted nothing more than to be back home right now. .

"Sonic," his father snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up.

"Yes dad?" he asked trying not to let his fear come out.

"I know it's scary being away from home for the first time but you'll do fine." he slowly nodded clutching on to his heavy suitcase.

They made their way to the main office where a yellow cat with blue eyes greeted them.

"Jules Ricco, it has been a while and this is Olgilvie?" She asked. The younger Hedgehog nodded slowly.

"But I prefer Sonic thank you." He told her. She smiled and nodded.

"Allow me to give you a tour." She led them to an empty gymnasium. "This is our training room where our coach will train young Sonic in the ways of heroic battle situation management. This is also where physical education takes place." She then led the pair to a class room with a glass dome ceiling. "This is the prophecy room. Where it will be predicted if you will become a legendary hero or not." She led them to room after room describing each as they went. "this is the blah blah blah here you will do so and so" this carried on for hours. Finally the tour ended at the dorms and the cat left Jules and his son alone.

"You're going to be a hero now Sonic..." Jules told his son. Sonic frowned.

"Why can't I just stay and go to school with Scourge and Shadow?" Jules sighed.

"You're special Sonic, You have hidden powers within you. They will show themselves to you in time."

"But Dad..."

"Yes?"

"I don't want to leave home. I want to stay with you and mom and Scourge and Shadow and...I just want to stay home." Sonic sobbed quietly. Jules hugged him.

"Hey...don't cry Sonic. This will all be over in a blink then you'll come home a hero and save millions of people. They'll chant your praises,"

"But I..."

"I know you don't want to leave home Sonic, I want you to stay home as well...but this is a great opportunity for you. This is the best hero academy on Mobius." Jules looked at his young son. Even In the uniform with the black pants having a white stripe along the side the shirt having tiny ivory buttons that blended in with the snow white of the fabric. The black vest with white stitching alone the edges and black buttons rimmed in a snow shade, The emblem of a sword shield encircled by a flame visible on the left side. The black tie also with white stitching framing up to soft peach cheeks and glittering emerald eyes. Blue fur framing the rest. On the child's feet were red and white sneakers designed to allow the Hedgehog to move at amazing speeds. Jules hugged him tightly again. "I'm proud of you to make it this far Sonic."

"Thanks dad..."

"I'm going to have to go now... know that Your mother, brothers and I all love you and can't wait until you come home our hero."

"I won't make you wait long dad."

"That's my boy"

Shortly after that with a few more words of affection his father left, slowly Sonic walked in. Looking around he saw 2 four poster beds lined with black and white covers. There was a wardrobe and chest of drawers. Off to the left side of the room was an on suite complete with a walk in glass door shower and a jet styled soaker-tub. After exploring the bathroom Sonic turned back to the bedroom where someone he believed to be his roommate was sitting.

"So they finally got a roommate for me.," the chameleon who was sitting on one of the beds said, "My name is Espio what's yours?"

"Sonic," he answered shyly. Espio smirked. You are going to be a lot of fun to play with aren't you Sonic-kun....
