(Quick Author's Note:Most of this story will be told from the first person of the hero, but other perspectives will be in third person and written in italics.)
Sonic ran through the streets of Soleanna, keeping an eye for any suspicious activity. He wasn't in a very good mood. After all, Shadow had to go behind his back and hire a daemon hunter to stop this thing. Did he not believe they were strong enough to handle it? Sure, it resisted his attacks, and Shadow's Chaos Spear didn't seem to do any damage. But, they could still find a way to defeat it. The whole thing left Sonic in a sour mood.
Suddenly, he was snapped from his thoughts by a strange blur racing past. He put on the speed, struggling to keep up with the thing. "So, you're supposed to be the Fastest Thing Alive? Yeah, right." The blur raced ahead, but Sonic was already planning his next move. He cut down an alleyway, emerging onto another street in the path of the thing. He turned and ran, keeping even with the blur as it ran. He tried to get a good look at it. To his surprise, it appeared to be a human, though Sonic couldn't see his face clearly.
Just then, the human darted to his left, and Sonic looked up and saw why. The next thing he knew, he was on his ass in a pile of fruit and splinters that was once a merchant's stall. He looked up and the human, wearing all black, was standing on a roof on the opposite side of the street. "I look forward to putting that title to the test. Farewell, Sonic the Hedgehog." The human jumped off the roof into an alley, and sped off.
"What was that?" Sonic sat for a moment, thinking about what just happened. He got to his feet, legs complaining, and decided that he had a new rival. The daemon hunter could wait. Sonic sped off, wondering where and when he would see the human again.
