Chapter 2
A Rescue From A Friend, Or Is It
Sonic fell onto his hands and knees. Weak, from the purple energy.
What was that stuff, Sonic thought, was it, poison.
Sonic gulped at that thought.
Eggman noticed that Sonic was still alive.
"How is this possible" Eggman yelled, "You should be dead."
Eggman soon saw how weak Sonic looked.
"Well, looks as though you won't be able to survive a fall in that state" Eggman laughed.
Sonic looked up at Eggman.
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.
"Bye, hedgehog" Eggman said, waving to Sonic.
Sonic got confused, but soon realised what Eggman meant. Eggman pushed a button and the bottom of the tube opened. Sonic looked down and saw the great forest below him.
"Uh, oh" Sonic exclaimed, as he fell from Eggman's Eggfort 3.
"So long, hedgehog" Eggman said as he laughed evilly at the falling hedgehog.
Sonic fell through the air, landing on every tree branch of the tree he fell on. Every branch he hit a groan or a moan escaped his mouth. A few seconds passed and Sonic soon landed on the ground.
"Ow, that hurt" Sonic said.
Sonic looked around at his surroundings.
"It looks a little dark, maybe…" Sonic started, but cut himself off when he saw it was night.
"My thoughts exactly" Sonic said, a sweat-drop forming to the side of his head.
Sonic shook his head and started walking through the forest to the nearest town.
Once Sonic arrived in the town, he knew exactly where he was.
"I'm in Westopolis" Sonic said.
"No, stop please!" a voice cried.
"That's Tails" Sonic exclaimed.
Sonic ran in the direction of the voice. It was coming from an alleyway. Sonic stopped behind a corner to see what was going on. Inside the alley was a gang of teenage boys picking on a two-tailed fox.
What are they doing to him, Sonic thought.
Sonic looked a little more carefully and saw something that would haunt his mind forever. Two boys were holding Tails' arms tightly, one held one of Tails' tails and the last one held a knife.
"Please, you don't know what you're doing" Tails exclaimed, frightened.
"We're doing you favour by not letting you be a freak anymore" the boy with the knife said.
"But…but I like my tails" Tails cried.
"Why would you like being a freak" the boy with the knife said again, "Now hold still!"
The boy got the knife ready to cut Tails' tail off, when something as fast as the speed of sound ran past them. The boys holding Tails let him go and formed into a group at the back of the alley. Tails stayed where he was and knew who it was. The wind went past the boy with the knife and it flew out of his hands and onto the ground. The thing that ran at sonic speed stopped right in front of them.
"Sonic, I knew it was you" Tails exclaimed, excited.
"Tails get back to the workshop" Sonic ordered, "I'll get there soon."
Tails nodded and ran back the way Sonic came and ran through the Great Forest to get to Mystic Ruins.
"S…Sonic, we didn't know he was…you're friend" the leader boy stuttered.
"Best friend to be precise" Sonic said, angry at the boys.
"What are you…going to do to us?" the boy that had had the knife asked.
Sonic was about to say something, when he felt a sudden pain surge through his mind. He screamed at the pain that was surging through him.
"Hey…are you…alright?" asked the leader boy.
He walked over to Sonic and was about to touch him, when Sonic opened his eyes. What the boys saw in the hero's eyes weren't the usual emerald green they've always known. His pupils had dilated and his quills had risen above his head while turning black. A dark blue aura surrounded him and he felt all his anger boil on one target. The four boys that had attacked Tails were the only things on his mind. The boy took a few steps away from the now black hedgehog. The other boys were cowering behind their leader. Sonic stood up smiling a smile of pure evil and hatred. He held up his hand to reveal a dark purple electricity ball in his hand. The boys moved back a little more seeing what they were seeing.
"Time for you to pay the ultimate price for trying to hurt my friend" Sonic exclaimed in a dark voice.
The boys had one last look at the hedgehog before he pointed his hand at the boys and the dark ball blew up once it hit they're leader. Sonic looked at the scene in front of him and smiled evilly. Four bodies were lying in front of him. The blast had instantly killed them.
"There's nothing left for me here so I will take my leave" Sonic said.
Sonic then disappeared from the alleyway and didn't know that a small spy-bot was recording the entire scene. Sonic reappeared outside Tails' workshop and fainted returning back to normal, just before Tails walked to the door.
"Sonic, what happened?" Tails asked.
"T…Tails…I…I…" Sonic then fainted.
What's Sonic trying to tell me, Tails thought.
