Me: Wassup, y'all! I'm here with a new chapter to my fanfic!
Ryydo: Of course you are…
Me: Shut up. Moonnight, the disclaimer please!
Moonnight: With pleasure…This…err, dude…does not own Sonic the Hedgehog or a LIFE.
Me: Hey!

Chapter 2: The Assailant (Ryydo's POV)
The very event that happened next changed my whole life.
Moonnight and I were walking up the road leading to Grand Metropolis. As we got closer to the city, the path started to become a bit more high-tech…go figure.
"So," Moonnight began to say, "what's this place like? I've been to small towns and villages, but never a city."
"Well, if there's one thing I know about Grand Metropolis, it's full of robots." I replied simply. "It's hard to tell one robot from the other."
"It's really that high-tech?"
"That's only half of it."
Suddenly, I heard the leaves of a tree we passed by earlier start to rustle. There was no wind at the time, so I was suspicious about how it happened. Then out of nowhere, a dark purple-ish figure jumped out of the tree and rushed towards us. For defense, I summoned two twin buster swords (A/N: No, not the one in Final Fantasy 7) into my hands and took my fighting stance (A/N: Imagine Sora's Valor Form stance in KH2). The attacker had twin daggers as weapons, so I easily defended myself against the stab attempt that was aimed for my stomach.
The assailant was a vixen, considering foxtail I saw behind her. She wore a short leather tank-top with a pair of leather pants and leather fingerless gloves, which was all colored black. She had dark purple fur, a red heart-shaped chest fluff, and a red tuft of hair that covered one of her eyes…wait a minute, red tuft of hair? That sounded an awful lot like…no, that can't be her. She would never have that venomous look on her face.
"Ryydo, look out!" Moonnight shouted out, interrupting me from my thoughts.
Next thing I knew, I was one inch away from having a knife rammed into my chest. I jumped out of the way and noticed a small heart-shaped pendant protruding from her pocket. Suddenly, I remembered everything. She charged at me, attempting a downward slash. I easily parried it, knocking her off balance and, eventually, knocking her to the ground. I raised one of my swords at her neck. After a short silence, I smirked and the swords disappeared from my hands.
"You really haven't changed at all, have you?" I asked her, holding out my hand to help her get up.
Confused, she took my hand and slowly rose. "Do I know you…?"
"Do you know her?" asked Moonnight, almost in unision with our former attacker.
I simply pointed to the pendant, gesturing her to look at it. She opened the heart, revealing a picture of her when she was 9. She was literally glomping another 10 year-old boy, but it looked like the boy didn't mind. At first, she was confused, but when it started to make sense, she froze in realization. She looked over at me.
"Ryydo-kun?" she asked, tears started to form in her eyes. "Is it really you?"
"It's good to see you too, Yukine-chan." was all I could say before she hugged me and started to cry.
End of Chapter 2
