Chapter 3:

Deep in a hidden base, a radar screen began beeping.

"Sir," said the radar's operator. "I'm picking up a signal."

"Another activated Eggman robot?" came the reply from a brown wolf. He wore a commanding uniform and had scar by his right eye.

"Maybe Sir. It's not a signal I recognize, but it does seem to be powerful."

"Send out Unit 5 to collect this signals source," the wolf commanded. "It should prove helpful to our cause."

The Professor, Sam and Blue were sitting around the kitchen table. Blue was eating a large pile of chilidogs.

"You have quite the appetite Blue," The Professor commented.

"According to you," Blue retorted in between chilidogs. "I haven't eaten in 150 years. And chili dogs were always my favorite."

The kitchen door opened and a light pink hedgehog walked in. She wore a light blue dress and had grey eyes. All her quills but two were pulled back into a ponytail.

"I have the materials you asked for Professor," she said, indicating the bags in her hands.

Blue stood up suddenly, staring at the girl.

"A-amy?" Blue asked, startled. The girl just looked at Blue, curious about him.

"Who's Amy?" the Professor asked, looking at Blue.

"She… she was another friend," Blue answered, struggling to remember. "I…I think I… liked her."

"Who's this Professor?" the girl asked.

"Oh," the Professor said, turning his attention to the girl. "Sorry Alice. This Blue. We found him during our last exploration and we're trying to help him get his memory back. And Blue, this is Alice Red. She's a family friend. She often helps me with my research."

"It nice to meet you Blue," Alice said, putting down her bags down and extending her hand.

"N-nice to meet you t-too," Blue said, shaking her hand. He pulled it back quickly when he noticed her flinching a little at the cold metal.

"Sorry I can only stay for a minute," Alice apologized, going to the door. "But I've got some work to do at home."

"Wait," Blue called, making Alice pause. "W-will I see you again?"

"Of course," Alice said with a smile. "I visit the Professor all the time. I'll even try and help you find about your past."

"Thank-you," Blue whispered.

"No problem!" Alice said as she walked out the door. "See you guys later."

The door closed. The Professor turned to Blue.

"You really liked her didn't you?" he asked gently.

"Yeah," Blue replied quietly, looking down. "…I did."

There was silence as Sam and the Professor went back to eating.

"What's the point," Blue said eventually, causing Sam and the Professor to look at the hedgehog.

"What do you mean Blue?" Sam asked.

"What's the point of remembering!" Blue retorted. "I've been sealed away for 150 years! Everyone I'll remember is dead by now. Remembering will only remind me of all that I've lost. I should leave by memories buried and stop looking back."

"Don't say that Blue," Sam said, sympathetic. "Don't give up."

"He's right," the Professor agreed firmly. "Memories are a precious thing. They teach us our mistakes and remind us of the good times we had. With so much of our history gone. It wouldn't be fair to yourself or your friends if your stories and your hardships were lost as well. It's your duty as the survivor to keep make sure their acts aren't forgotten."

"You're right," Blue admitted. "I can't let my fears get in the way.

Blue stood up confidently.

"I was never one to give into my fears and I won't start now," Blue said. "I won't let Eggman win this battle! I'll learn my past, remember my friends so the world doesn't forget all we did, and I'll head into a brighter future."

"That's the spirit Blue!" Sam cheered.

"I might as well star now," Blue looked over at the Professor. "Can you tell me what has since I was imprisoned?"

"It's a long story," the Professor began. "With very little known fact and a lot of speculation. I'll tell you what I know...

The group of Freedom Fighters, who had kept Eggman's tyranny at bay, lost their champion, who this champion was what he looks like has been lost. Eggman then ruled the world for 50 miserable years and when he died. There was a big revolt and much was lost, including most of our history.

Over the years, there have been rises of gangs or groups seeking control, but none lasted. About 30 years ago… the citizens set up a simple government and a police force that protects everyone from any threats. Things have been mostly quiet now, but there are rumors there are still groups hiding in the shadows waiting for their chance to come to power."

"So much has happened," Blue said, his eyes wondering over to the window. "I want to see the world. I've been in the darkness of 150 years, I want to see the trees again."

"I think that can be arranged," the Professor said standing up. "If you're done, we can go now."

"I'm done," Blue replied.

The three of them left the house and walked sown the street. Then went down a few blocks and turned onto an old forest path. The trees were tall and lush, the sun turning their leaves a bright emerald. The whole place was alive with sounds of nature, birds chirping, insects humming, and a creek flowing somewhere nearby. Blue walked quietly, just enjoying the peace that being there brought him. Sam and the Professor walked a few steps behind, letting Blue enjoy himself.

"I've missed this so much," Blue muttered. "The sound of birds… the smell of living things untainted by pollution…"

Sam's ear twitched as he looked around nervously.

"Guys…" he said to the others. " Do you hear something?"

The other two stopped and listened intently, but nothing sounded out of place.

"I do hear some…" Blue was cut off by a sudden crash; the vibrations in the ground causing all three to lose balance and fall.

Another crash.

The three got to their feet as something came through the trees. It was a giant robot, followed by two medium robots and surrounded by several smaller ones. The all had a similar round shape and were painted red and silver. There were pilots in the bigger robots. They were many different kinds of animals, all wearing black jumpsuit type uniforms with black helmets and red visors... Most of them carried guns.

"Surrender your blue friend there," commanded the pilot of the biggest robot, pointing down at the three. "He will be a service to… THE RING OF JUSTICE.
