I'm back with a bang! This time being away wasn't (Entirely) My fault. I had a rough freshman year and I've been studying for finals! Anyways, now that I'm back, I'm going to update this story, and you guys will enjoy it! (Hopefully) It is nice being back though, so thanks for holding on this long, and if you're not, then I don't blame you. Enjoy this next chapter in "Project Ultra!"

(There may be some confusion when I mention certain people, but not by their names, or by nicknames so here's a short guide to first time readers of Sonic the hedgehog stories or Sonic the hedgehog at all.)

*Azure: Sonic. (Azure is a dark blue, fairly similar to Sonic's fur/

*Sakura hedgehog: This is a coined term, speaking of Amy's similarity to the well known 'Naruto' Character, Sakura Haruno. The similarity is uncanny actually. (^^')

*Sonikku: I am not sure where this one came from, it may be Japanese? (No offense at all if given) But it is usually the name Amy calls Sonic in deep affection. (It's also his pet name)

Kitsune:Fox (Tails obviously)

*Blue speed-star: Please don't ask. It's too obvious.

(That's all I have for now! Enjoy the story!)


(The next day, 7:00AM -Sonic's residence-)

"You're sure it's packed?" A voice asked.

"Yes Amy it's packed." Azure* replied, currently folding clothes as I he laid them in the suitcase, he himself wearing a gray cotton T-shirt and cargo pants, accompanied with brown shoes, he never seemed to wear often enough. He glanced around the bedroom he was in, which was the one they both shared. Several pictures of them from the past six months were scattered among the room, placed neatly on shelves and such, including others.

"The camera?" Amy yet again asked from the kitchen, as if testing Sonic's ability to remember what to pack and what not to. Not that he minded. He constantly forgot the small things, and it was nice to have a refresher every once in a while.

He then moved a shirt careful and spotted it in the netting side pouch.

"Yep." he told her, his voice quite audible.

Footsteps then sounded outside the room against soft carpet, as less than seconds later, the pink hedgehog stepped inside, wearing a soft green tank top which complimented her eyes quite well, and a pair of denim jeans which hugged her legs smoothly. He smirked to himself, careful to keep his face from Amy's view of course, then looked back at her, placing the last article of clothing in the suitcase.

"Tickets?" But this time she seemed like she was suggesting more than actually asking, but Sonic hardly payed attention to the slight tone.

"Of course." Sonic said as he sat down on the bed, soft covers cushioning him.

She then shook her head and smirked, pulling out a pair of airline tickets. Sonic smiled sheepishly at them, wondering how he could have oversaw them.

"Funny." He muttered.

She giggled softly, and stepped over, sitting next to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders with a graceful, but simple arch. He chuckled as he kissed her lips gently, which followed suit with her soft seeming blush. She was then the first to speak after a short silence, which she changed the topic of the conversation.

"Well, going on vacation was an idea I had planned for my first summer out in the real world, but I was considering Hawaii more, or maybe Fiji. Somewhere tropical, or at least quiet." She told him, leaning her head back as she seemed to stare at the white ceiling.

"It's alright." He told her. "But we can save that for after the marriage of course. Besides, we were personally invited by Tails, I couldn't refuse if he asked me."

"Well I know that," she replied with a grin. "I just don't see D.C as the perfect vacation spot."

"Well I've been there once. They're plenty of things interesting enough." Sonic told her.

She then raised her brow. "Is there anywhere you haven't been?" She asked sarcastically. He smiled weakly, slightly embarrassed. That was one of those questions you don't answer.

"Anyways, we should get going." She muttered, standing up.

Sonic nodded, and grabbed the suitcase. The two then stepped out of the room, as they headed to the door of the house, she opened it, and the two then stepped outside the sun's morning rays hitting their face with it's new day of warmth. With birds chirping in the distance, the two then headed to the driveway, Amy's car waiting there.

As they stepped over, sonic asked "You driving or am I?"

"Me. You drive like you run, wild and crazy." She replied, a smirk on her lips to show it was a simple joke.

"Thank you for the compliment." he falsely retorted.

She giggled, and unlocked the car, and the two sat inside. She then started the car, and the two pulled out the the driveway, staring down the road to the airport.

(Station Square International Airport, half an hour later)

"Where are they?" Tails asked, standing outside the private jet with a worried frown.

Cream sighed, looking down the runaway. "I'm sure they'll be here. Calm down Tails."

"Why is he he so uptight at the moment?" Chance's familiar voice asked. Cream looked up at the plane's entrance, which the mobile stairs led to. "It's not like they're in danger."

"I know Chance..." Tails muttered out loud. "Sonic may be relaxed, but he's hardly- well nowadays never late. Not without a reason. The same is for Amy"

"Maybe because they took her car?" Cream asked. Tails, hearing the hum of the cars working engine from a short distance, turned in cream's direction, as he saw the smirk on her face, and even more, Amy's car.

Tails smiled slightly, in more of an embarrassed way than relieved, but she said nothing as the car pulled up to the plane. Amy and sonic, after she shut the car off, got out and sonic smirked.

"Hey Tails."

"Hey Sonic. I see you used the car." Tails told him.

"Yeah, we have suitcases in the car. Amy you can go on in." Sonic muttered, nodding to her. She smiled, and stepped next to Cream, who grinned, and the two started their own small conversation as they advanced up the stairs, Chance moving politely out of the way as they came up.

"Hey Tails, come over here." Sonic told him, as he walked to the car's trunk area. Tails then stepped over, and as Sonic popped the trunk, he asked. "So, any info on that job?"

"No Sonic, not now." Tails told him with a smirk. "But someone on the plane is there to tell you when we take off."

"Right.." Sonic muttered, as he pulled out one of the suitcases, handing it to Tails, who took it carefully, and set to the car, when Sonic took his and followed suit. A man then stepped down, and stopped sonic, and tails, stepped around him, and onto the stores. Sonic then glanced at the man, about three feet taller than who, beach shirt, jeans, and shades.

"Keys. You can't take the car with you." He then flipped out an identification badge. F.B.I. "I'll make sure the car gets home, and back here when you've returned."

The last hing he wanted to do was hand over Amy's keys, but he didn't see the point in denying the man, especially when he had superior identification, so he reached into his pant's pocket and pulled them out, tossing them to the agent, who caught then, and briefly examined them before stepping over to the car. Sonic then began up the stairs, and as he reached the top, grabbed the edge of the door, and glanced back, the glare of the sun's rays outlining station square's outline.

He smiled, and turned his head, glancing back inside the plane, seeing Amy in an avid conversation with the giddy Cream the Rabbit. Chance seemed to be in a conversation with Tails now near the cockpit, the kitsune now placing the suitcase Sonic gave him in the compartment above the seat. He then smiled, as he then stepped over to Amy's seat.

"Excuse me." Sonic told them, as they scooted back a bit, allowing room for him to put her suitcase in the above compartment. The pink hedgehog then smiled at him, standing up long enough to give him a short kiss and sat back down with that same smile.

Sonic chuckled, and then began walking to the back, as Sally stepped out from a side room, right next to him, surprising him enough to hit the wall, right on his head roughly too.

"Sonic? About time you showed up." She said, sporting a smirk. "You alright?" She then asked.

"Yeah.." Sonic replied, rubbing the back of his now sore head. "Didn't expect someone to just pop out in front of me." He laughed.

"Sorry about that. Anyways, There's someone in that backroom to see you. She apparently works under the president, and she told me to tell you that when you got here to go to her."

Sonic then glanced down the way and sure enough there was the backdoor, shut. He was already going to look back here anyways out of curiosity, but he supposed a reason to do so was even better.

"Thanks Sal, I'll head back there right now." Sonic muttered, as he stepped towards the door, compelled by his urging curiosity. He was told there was a chance of him getting paid on this trip if he did something for the government, so he supposed that this woman was going to brief him on what he had to. As he stepped withing a foot of the door, he reached out and twisted the knob. It turned with a satisfying 'click' and he entered the room's threshold.

"Welcome Sonic." A voice sounded. Sonic glanced inside the room. Inside, a flat screen was built in the wall, along with a table placed against the wall also, and two chairs, one occupied already, the other, empty, waiting for him.

Sonic then replied. "Hello Miss..?" Azure quickly glanced at her. Her brunette hair flowing over her shoulders, blue eyes, piercing through small reading glasses, in a blue suit, accompanied with a black tie, and two inch black heels, her right leg over the other firmly, hands on her lap.

She took off her shades. "Delaney." She told him, holding out her hand. He shook it, and sat down in the opposite seat.

"Mister Prower has already informed you of the possibility of payment for this, has he not?" She asked.

"Yes." Sonic muttered.

"Well he is correct. But this is a serious matter. Several days ago, a top secret facility working on 'Project:Ultra' was raided, the end prototype stolen, and designs and formulas for possible reproduction and advancement for it. To be blunt, we no longer have it, and this is dangerous in the hands of the wrong person." She explained.

"Who did it?" Sonic asked.

"To be honest, even with highly advanced security cameras couldnt even catch the ringleader of them, but we did manage to catch footage and photos of several of his followers. Most of them human." She stated. "But some, seeming to be Mobian."

This caught Sonic's attention. Most Mobians were not hostile, and came over to Earth the same way they were on Mobius. Good, hard working people hoping to make a living, so the immediate odds of that statement being true were already fairly low in Sonic's eyes. However, he had other thoughts. None needing to be mentioned at the moment.

"You said you had footage?" Sonic questioned. She nodded, lifting a compact disk.

"Whatever you see here is highly classified. Everyone but you, the president, certain qualified government agents, and I, are on a need to know basis. Breathing a word of the content however to anyone not authorized to know can result in being tried for treason. Understood?"

A soft gulp went through his throat, as he grimaced. But he nodded. He asked for the job, not to bargain on terms,

"Alright then." She replied. Suddenly an intercom keyed on. She cliked a button to a side speaker. "Yes?"

"Mam, this is the pilot. Rouge, Shadow, and Knuckles are now on board." the pilot stated matter-of-factly.

"The plane may take off." Delaney then said, her voice clear.

"Affirmative. Pilot out." The com then keyed off.

"Shall we begin?" She then asked Sonic, as he began to feel the plane move down the runaway.

"The sooner the better." Sonic told her.

She then smirked, as if she expected such an answer, and slid the compact disk into a DVD player, and the screen flickered to life.
