Ready? Are you READY! 'Ready for what?' I hear you ask...well...it's not much...just...THE RETURN OF SONIC. But Hades ain't to happy about it...

Chapter two: Return from the Underworld

~Station Square Science Labs~

Once everyone had gathered in the labs, they saw Sonic suspended in a glass tube of liquid, the scientist walked over to a large control panel and started pressing some buttons and explained,

"His body is in perfect shape, his blood pressure is normal and his temperature is as well, he's currently unconscious, we're just about to wake him up…ready…now!" He pulled a large lever, electricity coursed into the tank.

Sonic's body jerked violently and his eyes slowly opened, he looked around and saw the others, he seemed confused, but then he smiled that smile of his and the guys smiled back, Shadow was not convinced that all was well, Amy noticed this and spoke.

"Shadow! What's the matter? He's alive!"

"I'm just unsure that there will be no side effects, is there anything wrong with being cautious!" Shadow said defensively, he walked up to the glass and looked at Sonic in slight disbelief, then he said to him, nearly jokingly;

"Good to have you back, Faker" Shadow then turned to the scientist "Can he come out yet?" The scientist looked at a monitor, then replied

"Yes, he seems to be perfectly healthy!" He then drained the tube and opened the glass, Sonic stepped out, staggered slightly then stood up straight, Amy then ran over to him and hugged him, Shadow was slightly uneasy about this but passed it off as happiness of seeing Sonic again, Sonic just looked around at everyone

"I've missed you so much!" Amy said and squeezed him even tighter

"I've missed you to" Sonic said, gasping for breath "Amy, I can't breath!" She then let go of him and he took a deep breath

"What was it like being dead?" Knuckles asked, then everyone except Knuckles burst out laughing

"What's so funny! Knuckles asked, annoyed "I actually want to know!" Once everyone had picked themselves up and stopped laughing Sonic turned to him and said in an unusually serious tone which Sonic did not use very often,

"It wasn't nice I'll tell you that,," Everyone started laughing again, but this time Sonic had a serious look on his face and everyone stopped laughing and looked over to him, then Amy spoke up

"Really? Like...hell?"

"Yeah," Sonic replied solemnly, creating a tense atmosphere in the room, everybody just left that matter there.

"Oh by the way we kept your room at my workshop as it was, you can go there now if you want!" Tails told him

"Thanks! I guess I might need to clean up a bit," Sonic said then sped off to his apartment, leaving the others behind

"How about we have a party?" Amy asked

"Yeah, cool, when and where?" Everyone else said in unison

"Twinkle park, seven!" Amy said, everyone else agreed and they all went to prepare for the night out,

"What if something develops?" Shadow asked the scientist,

"Well we have a sample of his cellular tissue here, which we will monitor for the next week or so to make sure nothing contracts, like mutation, deformation or contagious afflictions" The scientist explained

"Good" Shadow replied, he then walked over to Amy "C'mon let's go home"

"Well you can, here's the key to my house" Amy replied and threw him a silver key,

"What? Aren't you coming too?" Shadow asked as he caught the key,

"No, I want to go and get Sonic to come to the party" She replied and walked off, Shadow was juveous but he knew how much she had missed Sonic over the last month and understood how she felt,

~Sonics House~

Sonic was inside tidying up a bit, when he heard Amy knock,

"Yeah, I'll be there in a moment" He called and then opened the door "Amy! Come in, what do you want?"

"I wanted to know if you wanted to come to a little night out, as a celebration for you being alive again." Amy said

"Sure, where?" Sonic asked

"Twinkle park restaurant, the others will be coming, it's at seven, don't forget!" Amy told him

"I won't!" He called to Amy as she walked out, pleased Sonic was alive and his normal self, she skipped happily home.

~Egg Man's Secret base~

Eggman was sitting reading dictator monthly magazine with a bored look on his face, he put down the magazine and turned on the television,

"I wonder what's on…" He flicked through a few channels until he found the master mechanics channel, then a newsflash interrupted the program;

'We are sorry to interrupt the usual program but we have an important message; Sonic the Hedgehog has been brought back to life though a modern science breakthrough! Special researchers at the S.S.S.L have found a way of bringing recent dead to life! Now back to the usual programming for today' Eggman sat there in total disbelief;

"What! Sonic! Alive! Again! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Eggman slammed his fist on the table "It's just not fair!"

Me: C'mon! You've got to be evil to the evils! Well, that's it; SONIC IS BACK IN : Yeah!Me: How did you get here! You're meant to be in the show you moron!Sonic: Oh come on! You killed me in 'Shadow's Duty, or Desire?'! True you've just brought be back, but the point still stands!Me: O.O...Believe me...I can...do far...FAR...worse things than just kill you!Sonic: Like what!Me: Alright then! I'll show you! All eternity with Satan and all of the Elsibub, would be a picnic compared to my true power! *Cracks knuckles* TAILS! BRING IN THE PENCIL!Tails: Are you sure that's necessary? I mean...that's inhuman...Sonic: No! Not the pencil! Anything but that!Me: Yes! The pencil! Now get it Tails!Sonic: No! Don't! Please don't! I'll stop moaning!...I'll give up chilidogs!...I'll even publicly declare that Shadow is faster than me!Me: Okay. Tails, don't bother getting the pencil. You're lucky I was in a relatively good mood today, hedgehog!
