Date: December 12th, 2010 1:45 a.m. Location: Air space over Station Square

A dark figure, definitely human, sat in a large chair in the otherwise vacant and dark room. A giant glass window revealing the stars as the giant air ship flew above the still bustling streets of Station Square. Christmas lights and décor scattered about the city streets, notifying any passerby what season it was, a constant reminder to the dark figure that the New Year was fast approaching. He feared the destruction of his organization. In his mind, it was an empire, but now was not the time to seize total control. He was already their leader, and he was about to enforce his leadership.

"Approach," he commanded; his voice ominous. Another shaded figure, a girl, stepped out of the shadows. Her face revealing shame and guilt.

"You caused the death of one of your teammates…" the leader spoke once again, "you endangered your own life and the identity of this organization!"

The girl looked up at him. She'd heard rumors about the leader killing people who failed him. She feared the worse. Her eyes betraying her fear, the leader used this against her.

"INSOLECE!" he boomed, his voice echoing in the room, loud enough to make the girl jump. "Insolence is something I do not tolerate in this organization." As he spoke, dark clouds formed and blocked out the stars. "I will eliminate all weak chains!" He held up his sword, made out of complete darkness, before bringing it down on the girl. As he did, lightning strikes, and rain starts falling on the air ship. The ship, called the Mobile Fortress: Night Wing, drifted ominously into the clouds, the leader unfazed by the lightning.

"Another one?" another male voice spoke. The leader turned around, surprised by the new shadowy figure's silent entrance. He had a similar appearance, save for his hair, which, unlike on the first figure, which was flat, was spiked up in all directions.

"What, It's my organization, you know," the leader sneered, "I can do what I want."

"She wasn't a failure," He replied sternly, "none of us are. We all do our best to complete our missions. We do make mistakes sometimes, but we always pick ourselves up afterwards." He glanced back down towards the girl and added, "That is, if we get the chance."

"Ha!" leader laughed, "Save it for a motivational speech, will you, Kieta! I've had enough of this!"

"You need to stop this, Sido," Kieta demanded, "Stop killing innocent people."

He walked out, grabbing a black cloak with white fire designs on it and leaving Sido to his own devices.

Sido pondered the demand for a split second before mumbling, "As if I'll ever listen to you, brother!"

Sonic was running along the streets of Station Square, the Christmas bustle making him slow down a little to avoid running into every other person. His plans, however, failed, as he tumbled straight into a young man with black, spiky hair, an orange flame design t-shirt, and tan shorts, knocking the person over.

"Ah, sorry! You all right?" he asked, picking up something the person dropped. It was an orange medallion; it had flames on one side, and a letter 'F' engraved into the other, along with what appeared to be a logo and a name. Sonic had about three seconds to look at the medallion before the man grabbed it away from him quickly. Before Sonic could question the stranger's quirky actions, he ran off, leaving Sonic to start running again.

Back at Tails' workshop, Tails was busy clanking away at one of his mechanical brain children, in this case, the Tornado 3. This plane was green, and had everything the Tornado's 1 and 2 had and more, including more transforming abilities. Yapping away at him in his many flaws was the salvaged remains of a small, portable robot originally made and owned by Dr. Eggman himself. Tails had picked him up and, since it seemed to be the word he used most often, named him Ergo. Tails was regretting letting the chatter box in his house, for, although many of his other systems were, his voice box was not damaged at all. 'That might change if he doesn't shut up!' Tails thought.

"… ergo, you will find yourself having to sacrifice a lot of speed just to utilize your weapons. Ergo, you will not be able to keep up with Eggman's equally inferior air ships. Ergo, you will fail. To prevent…" He rambled on.

Tails was about to dispose of the annoying piece of scrap metal when the doorbell rung. He made his way over to the door and opened it up to reveal Cream waiting, a smile on her face. He smiled back politely and let her in.

After talking a bit, Cream left Tails to head home. The twin-tailed fox was, once again, alone with the annoying freak.

"… Ergo, you should have offered her something to drink. You should have seen the bored look on her face while you were explaining the function of fusion coils, but you didn't. Ergo, you bored her to death, ergo, she left earlier that intended, ergo, you are now all alone with me. Ergo…"

"SHUT THE HELL UP!" He screamed. He took the wrench he was holding and embedded it in the robot's head. Ergo, the robot stopped functioning. Tails sighed before dropping the tangled mass of wires and metal into his parts bin. Upon impact, the thing exploded, and an Eggman head on a jack-in-the-box spring popped up and played back a record of Eggman laughing. Once it stopped, tails got back to work. Little did he know, he was being watched. A small light on the back of the Eggman head started blinking.

"Hohohohohohohohoho, it worked!" Eggman replied, staring into a screen displaying Tails pounding away on a new plane. Suddenly, the sound of a door opening could be heard. The real Ergo popped up, staring at the screen.

"Let's hope that when this plan fails, you'll pick yourself up like you always do to fail another day!" the small robot replied in his monotone, yet equally teasing, voice.

"Why you…" Eggman started before punching Ergo in the face. The poor robot powered down and returned to his small, capsule like mode.

Back on screen, Sonic had just walked in, talking about the strange encounter. Eggman listened intently, his eyebrow arching when Sonic mentioned a medallion with the letter F on it.

"Hm? Does this mean Fengoros is back?" Eggman questioned. He stood up and laughed manically before opening an ancient scroll. At the top read 'The ChronoKey's Secrets'. Eggman disregarded the screen, which went black as a result of Sonic crushing the Eggman head.

"Hohoho, if Fengoros is really back, then not even Sonic will be able to stop this next scheme..."

There you have it, the first chapter. I'm a fast writer, so I'll probably have the next one up soon. Later!
