Scene 2: Outside Business

Tails was still stunned by the news Sonic had just told him. Tails walked closer to Sonic still with a stunned face.

"Sonic!" he started "You're really sure about this? You really think you're troubling us?"

"Of course!" Sonic replied back swiftly, "Who causes Amy to be kidnapped all the time? Who caused Shadi his brother's life, and don't remind me of the time that Angel Island was almost destroyed. It was all me! My fault!" Sonic shouted all at once, then he tried to catch his breath and calm down. Tails still tried to comfort Sonic, and patted his back

"Come now, Sonic! Even a hero can't be perfect. Heroes can't always be there on time in order to save the weak. Even though you're really fast, things just happened the way it did." Tails took a glimpse at Sonic, and Sonic looked back too, and then sighed.

"Alright, Tails!" Sonic moaned "I'll try to calm down a bit"

Tails smiled

"That's great!" said Tails "So let's go downstairs and eat. Amy has been waiting for us probably for quite a while." Said Tails as he ran lightly down the stairs. Sonic smiled and slid on the railing.

"Wait for me little buddy!" Sonic called out to Tails

When they both reached the ground, they ran into the kitchen, only to see Amy there, eating the pancakes she made for Sonic and Tails. Amy saw them come in and blushed a little.

"Heh, sorry!" she apologized "You kept me waiting, and I got a little hungry, so I just ate your pancakes Tails."

Sonic chuckled a bit

"Right, a little!" he replied

Sonic and Tails stared at Amy for a while. Tails sighed a bit, and Sonic laughed, then sighed afterwards to catch his breath

"Oh it's alright, Amy! We did kind of keep you waiting." Sonic's mind was kind of focused off of the tragedy that happened on his last mission now, since he was with his friends and having the usual fun.

"It's fine though, I'll share half of my pancakes with Tails." Tails smiled at his buddy, and Sonic smiled back. They both sat down and grabbed a few pancakes to put on their plates.

Sonic grabbed a piece of the pancake with his fork, but before placing it in his mouth, he eyed towards the radio.

"Wonder what's on the news?" Sonic asked as he turned the radio on, and putting the fork in his mouth.

On the news, there were reports of several kinds of things, listed:

"For today's news, Station Square is still going pretty slowly." Said the reporter "A lot of the spots tend to be a bad neighborhood for young frolicking animals, and there's still a cat missing from a Mystic Ruin resident." The reporter continued. "There have also been reports of Dr. Eggman plotting another scheme near the area. Most likely trying to demolish the city."

Sonic glared as soon as he heard Eggman from the radio

"Eggman!" The team cried out

"It's been a week or so, and already he's plotting revenge?" Sonic shouted in fury "That guy just NEVER gives up!" he shouted as he jumped off his seat and headed for the door.

"Wait! Sonic!" cried Amy trying to catch up to Sonic before he opened the door "What about breakfast?" she asked

"Uh... It can wait." Answered Sonic "There are other things to deal with, like Eggman!" Sonic shouted as he clenched his fist and showed fury in his eyes. "That Bastard!" cussed Sonic as he ran outside and slammed the door behind him. He then started heading towards Station Square… up until…

"Hold it, Sonic! You idiot hedgehog!" /b shouted the voice of a 12-year-old hedgehog standing behind Sonic.

Sonic froze when hearing the voice and a sweat drop rolled off his face. He gulped and shivered a bit, squinting his eye. Blank rings started appearing around his shrinking pupils.

"No!" he cried "Not… It's…" he squirmed taking breaths trying to say each word.

"Sha-di!" shouted the spiky green long-eared hedgehog that wore an orange vest and blue pants in the same sort of way as Classic Sonic games were advertised at the ending.

"What you have a panic attack? Why should you be worried?" asked Shadi "You're our hero! You're not supposed to be panicking because of a freak hedgehog like me!" he sneered. "And I thought I was the only one who freaked out so easily." he added in

"What do you want anyways?" barked Sonic, apparently Sonic was not in the mood to take any of the way Shadi was acting. As of that, Shadi always acted like this towards Sonic, and just about anyone that stars in video games.

"If this is still about Ginkgo, you gotta give it a rest! What has happened has happened. Why don't you just go back to your spell to resurrect him or something!" Sonic shrieked in a demanding like tone "You're wasting valuable time, aren't you?" he pointed out and turned his back on Shadi.

Shadi just gave a crossed look and stuck his tongue out at Sonic

"You don't tell me what to do!" Shadi mumbled in disgust "I do whatever I want, now you'd better be out of my sight before I decide to slash you with my Sugar Cane!" he threatened.

Sonic just mocked Shadi by imitating his phrase with a weird face, making noises with his tongue, which frustrated Shadi a bit

"I'm serious, Sonic!" Shadi warned

Sonic quickly turned around and pointed his middle finger at Shadi, causing Shadi to freeze and his pupils to shrink a bit.

"See Shadi!" Sonic said softly with a smirk and frustration mark showing as he tried to suppress his anger and keep his cool "This is why everyone hates you!" he said continuing to smirk "All you do is make fun of people, and blame them for things that just had to happen. You're just an annoying brat that likes things his way!" he shouted as he put his arm back on his side.

Shadi twitched his eye and stared at Sonic

"That was completely uncalled for!" Shadi said to himself "Geez, you don't have a right to do that to me, Sonic!" he shouted as he started charging towards Sonic

"What? Now you're gonna attack me?" asked Sonic "Shadi! You're so predi"-

Just before Sonic could finish his sentence, he had a hard collision in the gut as Shadi punched him. Sonic fell onto the ground momentarily coughing, then he tried to get up and ran towards Shadi, growling and glaring with his emerald green eyes at Shadi, whom was smiling.

"If I'm so predictable," Shadi began "How come you didn't see that coming?"

"Why do you always try to aggravate me?!" shouted Sonic "Geez! While you're at it, why don't you just give me another punch, you son of a bitch!" Sonic demanded

Shadi smiled, ready to charge again

"Fine! Suit yourself!" Shadi insisted as he charged up another punch, ready to hit Sonic. Sonic though stayed calm.

In the meantime, Shadi tripped on a rock, having a collision, face flat to the ground, cancelling the punch. Sonic laughed

"Wow!" Sonic shouted sarcastically "What the hell was that supposed to be?" he mocked

Shadi lifted himself up, spurting a bit "I'm heading to Station Square, so leave me alone!" he said as he headed down. Shadi began to follow him.

"You can't leave yet! I haven't even slashed you with my Sugar Cane yet! Get back here!" shouted Shadi as he followed Sonic down the road.
