Aces POV
I was sitting up in a tree, DSR-50 strapped to my back and Camo Suit on so I was practically invisible. I was hunting for deer and enjoying the peace and quiet. I had recently had a party and my house was a mess but Sally had offered to clean it. I was grateful for that and had a lot to think about. I wanted to propose to Sally and for weeks I have been trying to get the guts to pop the question but my nerves kept getting the best of me. I loved her. Her eyes, her hair, her amazing body but that's not why I want to marry her. She was the only one who actually understood me and she has been the one always helping me out and I don't want her to get away. But something is always nagging in the back of my head what if she says no and doesn't see me the same. The should of leaves rustling snapped me out of my deep thought. I look out in front of me and saw toe nice sized does walk out into the food plot I had started. Normally I would take the shot but I want to see if something bugger would walk in. They began to eat unaware that I was watching them, stalking them, hunting them. I herd some tree branches crack and turned to where the does had walked out. Two fauns stepped out and behind them was a 10 point buck. Oh I'm happy I waited. I silently slipped my sniper off my back, I put the butt snugly up against my shoulder, I looked down the sights, and took it off safety. I put the crosshairs right where that big bucks heart was. Before I could pull the trigger they looked up and ran off. I moved back from the sight and looked at where they were just standing. I herd a footstep echo in the distance. I snapped my head to my right and listened. Another on rang out and I tried to pin-point it's location. A third one sounded off and I aimed my gun to where it was, I looked down the sights and saw a line of trees. Then a flash of brown passed by, I moved my finger to the trigger and got ready to fire. I saw Sally step out and I yanked my hand from the trigger. "ACE" she called out, I was a slight bit pissed and scared. "Fucking hell were you trying to get shot" I yelled at her. She looked around "Ace where are you" she said. I let out a sigh "I'm coming down just give me a sec" I said. I jumped down and turned off my camo suit. "I'm right here Sal" I said getting her attention. She ran up and gave me a hug, "what are you doing way out here" I asked her. Her smile faded "Sonic calling a code black" she explained. I felt a tinge of despair "that can't be good" I said, she shook her head and grabbed my arm. She lead me back to the house, I opened the door and she went to bedroom. I followed and saw two suitcases on the bed. "What's with the bags" I asked her. "We may not be back for a while" she answered. I was starting to like this less and less. I grabbed my bag, my sniper, my knife, and my necklace. It was scratched up, burnt a little and had dulled out but I still loved watched as I placed the cold metal against my black fur. I had washed off the orange and went back to my original black color. I patted the amulet "so your always close to my heart" I said to her. She smiled and gave me a long kiss. I broke apart, grabbed her bag, and slung it over my shoulder. "Shall we get going princess" I said bowing to her. She pushed me "come on killer lets get going" she said rolling her eyes. I know she hates it when I treat her like a princess "where to then Sal". "Tails house captain" she said emphasizing the captain. I smiled and walked to the garage, I threw our stuff in the trunk of our Ferrari. "Ready to go" I asked Sally, She hopped into the driver seat. "Yeah get in", I frowned "why don't I get to drive" I complained. "Because your going to drive like a maniac" she said. "Will not" I said stubbornly Sally just rolled her eyes "fine you drive then" she moved over into the passenger seat. I hopped over the door and landed in the seat. "Now this is a stick shift so be easy on the clutch" Sally instructed. I smiled "I know what I'm doing" I said giving her a wink. I shifted into reverse and sped down the street.
It took me 10 minutes to get to Tails house and normally it would take 25 minutes I might have taken a few "short cuts". Sally was cling on to her seat looking like she was about to have a heart attack. I was breathing hard, adrenaline rushing through my veins "wow this thing is just wow" I said breathless. Sally looked at me with pure hatred "I'm going to kill you" she growled at me. "Sorry the adrenaline was just so over powering" I said. She just rolled her eyes and got out, I got out and walked to the trunk. "I'm just saying your going to need fast get away and you will be begging me to drive" I argued. "Yeah if I need to be squished or turned into brown mist I'll give you a call" she said sarcastically. I crossed my arms "hahaha my driving is not that bad". "You took a jump over a bridge" she said trying to prove her point. I grabbed our bags and walked to the front door "It seemed like a fun idea at the time" I said in my defense. Sally just rolled her eyes and knocked on the front door. It opened up and Tails was behind it "hey guys I'm sorry we have to meet under these circumstances" he said. "Me too Tails where is everybody else" Sally said, Tails stepped to the side "they are all in the basement you two are the last ones". "Ok Tails thanks bud" I pushed passed him and went to the stairs. I walked down them and came upon a war meeting. I saw Sonic, Amy, Silver, Blaze, Scourge, Fiona, Shadow, Shade, Espio, Dusty, Chase, Scarlett and a orange hedgehog. "Ah Ace good to see that you made it" Sonic said. I nodded and walked over to where Dusty was standing. "Nice to see that you showed up" Dusty said. "Haha your an ass" I spat at him, Dusty held up his hands like he was going to block a shot to the face. "Ok people listen up, Hallie here has come to us with a problem and I for one want to help but I can't make you go so if you don't want to go tell me now" Sonic said. No body steps forward, "good now I don't know much about this planet so I'm going to let Hallie take over" and Sonic stepped back. The orange wolverine stepped forward "ok now this is my planet Choris, the Maulers landed in cities around the Capitol of Solis we have been able to hold it but they keep attacking us so we need you to help fortify and defend the city" Hallie said. "Damn" Scourge said softly, Hallie continued "now all we need is transport". "I can arrange that" Tails said, we turned and looked at the 19 year old fox. He had really changed he grew out his hair, grew about 4" taller, and had a little more meat on him. "I knew we would have to go back into space so I fixed this back up" he said. He opened a compartment on the wall "ladies and gentile men I present the Blue Hurricane" he pressed a button and the area behind him lit up to show a giant space carrier. "Wow you did really good bud" Sonic said, Tails blushed "yeah well I had to take out the Sonic power cannon but other than that its the same old space carrier". "Good now we can get to Choris, if you want to bring your cars drive to the back hanger door and wait for us the rest of you grab your things and board the ship" Hallie said. I turned to Sally "oh you have to let me" I said. "Not a chance in hell" she said and she turned away from me. I folded my ears down, put on my biggest puppy dog eyes, and began to whin. Sally stole a glance than snapped back, I whined louder. It took another ten seconds before Sally snapped. "Ugh fine", I perked up, "really". "Yes just go before I change my mind" she said shooing me away. I smiled and walked to the garage, Amy ran up to me. "Ace how did you do that" she asked me, Dusty ran up after us. "I can't believed you pulled the old 7year old trick Ace" he said. I smiled and turned to Amy "you see back when me and Dusty were little we would like to get what we want and sometimes we didn't get it, so I learned a trick that is guaranteed to never fail" I said. "So what do you do" Amy asked, "well you have to fold you ears down like your sad, then big puppy dog eyes, and the piece-do-restonce a whin like a hungry pup or hedgehog or whatever" I said. Amy thought for a moment "and this is guaranteed this works every time" she asked. "Every time" I repeated, "and I could make anyone do what I want" she said. I stopped "uh yeah I guess you could, your not going to like rob a bank or something are you" I said. She smiled "a women never tells her secrets". I laughed and hopped into the driver seat of my Ferrari. I sped around the house and stopped at the entrance of the hanger. It opened up and I drove in, the giant space carrier loomed over me as I drove under it. A lift dropped down from the bottom hull of the ship. It clacked against the ground and I drove up onto it. Amy and Dusty were close behind. I got out and stood near the edge, Dusty stepped out as we began to raise up. He looked a little uneasy "oh Dusty don't tell me your afraid of a little bit of height" I coed. "Haha you suck I just hate the falling part" he said. I smiled, I grabbed the hood of his jacket and shoved him forwards. "Whoops" I said, right before he fell I yanked him back onto the pad. "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST" he yelled. I was rolling across the ground laughing my ass off. "That wasn't the nicest you know" Amy said. "Yeah yeah but his fucking face was priceless" I laughed. "It's fine Amy call it brotherly love" Dusty said. "Hmmmffff" she scoffed, "hey listen Dusty you can get me back and I'll buy you a beer ok" I said snickering. "Ok you owe me" he said, I nodded still laughing a little bit. We entered the haul and took off for the bridge, "hey Dusty do you know where the bridge is" I asked him. He shook his head but right in front of us Shadow walked out. "Yo Shadow you know where the bridge is" I asked. "Yeah I'm on my way there now" he said. Me and Dusty fist bumped and walked behind him. "So Shadow do you have any fears" I questioned. "No" he quickly answered, I looked at him,"You sure". "YES IM SURE" he snapped, I backed off and folded my ears down. Shadow sighed "it just to personal to tell you or anyone". I looked up and nodded, no other words were exchanged until we got to the bridge. We opened it up and walked into an open space with five stations and an area where everybody was now standing. I looked up at Tails who was at the master controls "we're good to go" I said giving him the thumbs up. "Good get on that console over there and make sure we have enough power as we lift off" Tails instructed. I nodded and ran over to the console farthest from to the left. "Ok people get ready for take off" Tails said. Everybody grabbed a rail or stood by a wall. I pressed some buttons and pulled a leaver. I watched as our power levels increased. "We have power" I said maintaining the energy flow. "Ok here we go" Tails said. And with that we rocketed into space heading for a planet in peril.
