Greetings Everyone, Hedgehogwriter07 here!

I know it has been a while since I updated Project Hedgehog and I am really sorry for the delay. My school is starting Final week and I have been studying like nuts!

Anyways, I want to add in one last thing that I forgot last chapter;

Disclaimer: Sonic and his friends do not belong to me. They are owned by SEGA. I only own Sarah, my OC. Thank you and enjoy!

Chapter 2: "Project Hedgehog"

Sarah's P.O.V

"Concentrate hard, Sarah." said Eggman over the intercom.

Eggman was up at the control panel in the training room. I was standing in the middle of the room with a blue chaos emerald in my hand glowing brightly. Metal Sonic on the other side of the room, was my opponent for today's training. Eggman was trying to get me to activate Chaos Control, which is alot harder than it looks.

I try my hardest to absorb some of the power from the emerald. But I can't. All I'm thinking about is Metal, standing on the other side of the room waiting for me to make my move. No I don't have a crush on Metal Sonic. Ew! However, when I was first created, Metal had helped me adjust to life here in the base. So he was a good friend of mine.

The glow from the emerald dims. I open my eyes to see that nothing happened.

'Dang it! Maybe I'll never activate it.' I think to myself.

"Sarah," Eggman booms over the intercom.

"Y..yes sir?" I stammer in response.

"Meet me in my office. Metal, you are free to go."

Metal Sonic pats me on the shoulder, as to give me reassurance before walking out. I sigh and head to Eggman's office.

I arrive in no less than 5 minutes and Eggman is sitting in his chair at his desk. In front of his desk is another chair.

"Sit down, Sarah" he says.

I sit down in the chair and look down. I knew he was disappointed in me. I always failed at training with Metal. I just can never bring myself to harming someone I care about.

"We need to talk about your weaknesses" he says to me. "This has gone on long enough. Metal is one of my top robots. If you won't battle him than it proves that you are not ready for the mission at hand. You are becoming soft. Your kindness is your weak point, Sarah. That good nature of yours is too much."

"No! Please sir. I want to do this mission. But can I know what the mission is?" I ask.

I really wanted to do this mission. I always wanted to see the outside world. Eggman told me it was a cruel, harsh place when I was younger. However, I had asked Metal secretly to grab me some books or information on the outside world. Of course he has brought me a couple. And the outside world seems amazing! But I wanted to see for myself.

"Hmm...I will call Metal back down to the training room. If you can defeat him in hand-to-hand combat, then I will tell you your assignment." Eggman says.

"Yes sir. You won't be disappointed." I say and dash out of the room towards the training room.

Sonic's P.O.V

I'm running around trying to clear my head. Amy was chasing after me again. It's not that I hate the girl, it's just that I don't like her in the way she wants me to. Also, Eggman hadn't attacked in almost 2 years. I'm not denying that the peace isn't enjoyable. It's nice to go on a run without Egghead making a big mess of Station Square.

Still though, Eggman not attacking could mean only 2 things; 1. He's turned in the towel and decided to give up. Highly doubt it though. Or 2, he is planning something big. And I don't mean a surprise party.

Tails is at his workshop in Mystic Ruins trying to see if he can find any information on Egghead. Other than that, the rest of the gang is enjoying the peace and quiet; the Chaotics still have the detective business rolling, Knuckles is guarding the Master Emerald, Rouge is either with Knuckles annoying him, or shopping with Amy and Cream, and Shadow is sitting at home or out enjoying nature. Either way, he still doesn't talk much.

*BEEP BEEP*

"Sonic, it's Tails! I need you at my workshop, Stat!"

I look down at the wrist communicator Tails gave me. I press a button on the side and I answer,

"On my way, buddy!"

With that I turn my communicator off and run at the speed of sound to Mystic Ruins.

Sarah's P.O.V

I punch Metal one last time in the face before he crashes to the ground. His metal armor was pretty battered as well as his right arm was missing. I had torn it off with my telekinesis. I had a few cuts and bruises. My right sleeve on my t-shirt was torn off, showing a burn that was shaped like Eggman's head. When I was first created, Eggman had singed my skin with his logo as to mark me as his property.

"Well done, Sarah!"Eggman exclaims, clapping his hands with joy as he approaches me. "I feel you're ready for your mission."

"Yes thank you sir!" I jump up and down with joy.

"Listen carefully. Tomorrow, I will pretend to launch an attack. You will act as a regular citizen of Station Square that I had attacked. I will give you the Chaos Emerald so that gives me an even more reason to attack you. My nemesis, Sonic, one of the hedgehogs that has "given" you DNA, will come to rescue you. You will stay with him and his friends and act as there friend to gain information on there strengths and weaknesses. Got it?" He explains.

I salute, "Yes sir!"

"Good, you are dismissed. Now, go and get ready for tomorrow."

With that, I dash out for the training room. But not without quickly glancing back at Metal Sonic, hoping he will be okay. I turn back and run to my room.

Sonic's P.O.V

I quickly arrive at Tails' place. I see the two-tailed fox sitting at his computer bench starring at a file marked with the Eggman logo.

"Tails! Hey bud. Did you find something about Egghead?" I ask standing over my little "brother".

"Ya, I did. But you aren't gonna like it." He says, a hint of worry in his face.

"What's up?"

"Eggman has a plan. I hacked into his computer and found something. Although, I can't crack the code to open the file." He says

"Hey don't worry pal. What's the title of the file?" I ask.

He turns to me.

"Project Hedgehog"

To be continued...

Hey everyone! I hoped you liked the new chapter. Whew! This one was pretty long.

So sorry for taking so long again. Please review and let me know what you think. Also feel free to PM me if you have a specific question so I can answer you there.

Farewell for now!
