Chapter 2

----PAST---

Something about today felt nicer then usual.

The clouds were moving happily as the Flickies roamed the sky.

As usual, Sonic was running across Mobious, in the moment, enjoying the scenery as he passed it by.

The wind blew in his face, but it wasn't really bothering him.

His blue streak passed through the grass and the sun felt warm against his fur.

Sonic found himself, suddenly standing in front of Amy's house coincidentally.

"Better not let her spot me, or she'll be following me or something-" Sonic said, suddenly being interrupted before he could continue on his run.

"SONIC!" Amy smiled happily.

Sonic looked very tolerant, his eyes slanted, not quite annoyed but not quite pleased.

"Hi Amy, how are you?" Sonic said, sighing.

"Fine, nice of you to stop by!" the pink hedgehog said, threading her arm under his, very friendlily.

Amy Rose was always on Sonic's tail, convinced in her own mind that she was Sonic's soul mate, with or without his consent.

But she never meant any harm in that; she was just very compassionate about a lot of things.

"Oh Sonic! What a nice day today isn't it?" Amy said, making conversation.

"Yeah, it's nice out." Sonic said, not really in the mood to talk.

"Did you hear about the Chaos Emeralds?" She asked with a sweet expression on her face.

"What do you mean Amy?" said Sonic.

"Well, they scattered again, didn't they?" said Amy, as if he should have known that already. "You should be happy to know I think I might know where one of them are."

Sonic's ears perked up. "Really, Amy? Where?"

Amy grinned. "If I tell you, what will you give me?"

Sonic rolled his eyes. "My gratitude?"

Amy was pleased. "All right fine, I'll go ahead and tell you. I heard from Tails that around Mystic Ruins, there was some static and interference in his hardware, like Chaos Emerald energy. He's probably looking for you right now to help him find it."

With that, Sonic took off in a hurry.

"Hey! A 'THANK YOU wouldn't cost you anything!" Amy yelled at him as he ran out of sight.

----PPRESENT---

Sonic looked over the charred bodies, some of the citizens were burned and mixed in the rubble.

Sonic tried to keep a strong stomach, for this was something hard to take in, even for somebody as noble as he was.

"Did a tornado destroy this place or something? Or a fire? These wounds don't look normal." Sonic thought to himself. "I really wish I hadn't seen this."

Sonic covered his eyes, and felt this aerie feeling surrounding him, he didn't like it.

The night brought whispers to the air, a cooling sound that chilled his heart.

Sonic couldn't take looking at this disaster any more, it was barring down hard on him.

He ran as fast as he could to the most deserted area he could find.
