CHAPTER I- THE OPENING
After the end of World War II,
The world was split into two, East and West
This marked the beginning of the era known as the Cold War
In Soviet airspace, an American gunship is flying. Inside a blue hedgehog, wearing his green uniform, is smoking a cigar right outside of the door. He will be in something called a HALO jump which is free falling until he parachutes down on the ground.
The one overseeing the hedgehog's eventual flight calls to him, "Put out your cigar and get ready."
The hedgehog ignores him and continues to smoke. A voice appears from the radio, "Didn't you hear him, he said put out that cigar and put on your mask."
The cigar was flicked onto the bottom of the gunship and the hedgehog put on his mask and stood on the edge of the gunship. "3...2...1...Spread you wings and fly", the voice says. The hedgehog jumps from the gunship.
"Jack, I have some good news. The government has finally allowed us to begin the Virtuous Mission", said the red echidna, known as Major Knuckles.
"Virtual Mission?", asked Jack the blue hedgehog.
"No, the Virtuous Mission. The future of this unit relies on it" said Knuckles.
"So, what exactly is this mission?", asked Jack.
"Well 2 years ago, a renowned Soviet scientist on weapons development, Miles Prower, escaped to the West with help from one of our moles."
"Wait, if he's so popular. Then why defect?", asked Jack.
"Well he became afraid of his own creations. We rescued him and put him in a hospital. A week later, the Cuban Missile Crisis happened.", Major said, "One of the terms to get the Soviets to pull their missiles was to return Miles to them. He was crying to us to save him but we couldn't do anything yet."
"So that's why you had us conduct this mission?", the hedgehog said.
"Exactly", said Knuckles, "Our agents said that he is at an old building in an area called Tselinoyarsk. This is our last chance, Jack. Give it your all."
"Will do Major", said Jack.
Jack opened up his parachute when he came close to the ground. His parachute then got stuck on a branch along with the rest of his backpack as he fell to the ground. The branches were in his eyes and he had to push wave his arms to get them out of his way. He then pulled his mask off. He heard a faint ringing sound that was obviously human-made and not natural. He looked down to see his radio. He turned it on and listened.
"Can you hear me? We are in Soviet territory now and it's possible somebody might listen. For now and until the end of this mission, we'll be using codenames to refer to each other. Your codename is Super Sonic. I will be calling you Sonic from now on.", the voice of the Major said.
"Sonic eh?", Sonic said, "So I guess you've heard of my speed? What about you? What should I call you?"
"Um...call me Tom", the newly named Major Tom said, "Sonic, this is a sneaking mission. You must not be seen by the enemy. Understand?"
"Yeah I get it", Sonic said, "But what about my equipment and food?"
"You are completely naked in a sense", Tom said, "It is our unit's procedure that everything aside from what you've been given must be found on site. You have a tranquilizer gun. Use that to hunt for food."
"You've got to be kidding me", Sonic said, "My only weapon is a tranquilizer?"
Tom ignored him and went on, "You can find your knife and gun along with some medical supplies in your backpack."
"Oh yeah", Sonic said, "The backpack was lost on the way down."
"You know where it is?", Tom asked.
"Yeah I can see it", Sonic said, "It's stuck on a branch."
"Well", Tom said, "You understand your mission now. Go get your backpack."
Sonic crept through the wild jungle. He had to crawl underneath a log to get to one area. He saw his backpack in a tree and climbed it, almost slipping halfway up. Then he reached out and grabbed his backpack before slipping and falling to the ground.
"Sonic, you alright?", Tom asked.
"Yeah I'm fine", Sonic said, "A little dizzy though."
"Well here's a list of the things that you'll find in your backpack", Tom said, "Your tranquilizer, your survival knife, some medical supplies, and a fake death pill. The fake death pill puts you in a state of false death. To get out of it just use the revival pill the doctors stuck in your tooth before the mission. Now, survival is the most important in this mission. Do nothing that can make you become spotted by the enemy. Understand?"
"Yeah, I got it", Sonic said nodding his head.
"Oh and you have a support team now", Tom said, "I'll introduce them to you."
"Hey, Sonic, I'm a paramedic", the high sound of a girl's voice was heard.
"Paramedic?", Sonic said with confusion.
"Yeah", she said, "A medic who comes by parachute. My codename is going to be Cream."
"Cream?", Sonic said, "That's an odd name."
"Like Sonic?", she said.
"Touche", he said.
"My frequency is 145.73. Call me if you need any advice on health or any info on the flora and fauna", Cream explained.
"There's one more person on your team", Tom said with a chuckle, "Who needs no introductions."
"Jack is that you?", a voice of another woman on the radio said.
"B...Blaze?", Sonic asked suprised.
"That's right Jack", she said, "Talk to me. Let me hear your voice."
"It has been a long time, Blaze", Sonic said.
"You've lost weight", Blaze said.
"Wow, you can tell by my voice.", Sonic said suprised, "Why did you leave me all of a sudden?"
"I told you before", the legendary soldier said, "I was on a top secret mission."
"But there was so much more for me to learn", Sonic said.
"Listen, Jack.", Blaze began to explain, "There's only so much a soldier can learn. I taught you every technique I know."
"Techniques.", Sonic went on, "But how about how to think like a soldier?"
"I can't teach you that", Blaze began, "That is something that every soldier must learn on his own. Listen, the sides on the battlefield change over time. Yesterday you and someone could've been allies. Then, the next day you are enemies. This is because of politics that change with the times."
"I don't think about the politics", Sonic explained, "I listen to whatever the leader says."
"Do you know what 'loyalty to the end' is Jack?", Blaze said, "It is devoting yourself to your mission and your beliefs."
"Okay", Sonic said, "One more thing, Blaze."
"Yes?", she asked.
"Call me Sonic", he said.
"Oh that's right your codename", Blaze said, "It suits you well. Also, remember that CQC I taught you? That is sure to come in handy."
"CQC. Close quarters combat.", Sonic said, "I will use it as well as I can. And Blaze, it feels good to finally hear your voice again."
"Same here", Blaze said.
Sonic turned off his radio and began practicing his CQC techniques. He jabbed at the air with a strike. With his knife in one hand and his gun in the other, he began his mission.
"Commencing Virtuous Mission", said Sonic.
