Chapter 5: Recollection

Sonic woke up in his bed, still tired. He then got out of his bed and walked to his mirror, seeing he was blue again.

"I'm me again? Cool! Huh…I can't remember anything from last night. Weird..."

Sonic went downstairs to go on his morning jog we he noticed the news was on and that his friends were listening.

"Hey! What's going on?" asked Sonic.

"Dr. Eggman was killed last night. Woah! Sonic! You're blue again!" said Tails.

"Yup! Back to my old self and feeling great!" said Sonic while giving a thumbs up.

"Who would kill Eggman?" asked Amy.

"Probably another one of Eggman's enemies." said Sonic.

"They say G.U.N. is starting an investigation because they wanted Eggman alive so they could get as much information from him as possible."

"Well Eggman's murderer sure is in a lot of hot water. Now, I gotta run!"

Sonic then zoomed out of the house and down the street, creating a sonic boom.

It was now the evening and sun was setting. Sonic, Tails, and Amy were watching it together.

"Isn't this romantic, Sonic?" asked Amy in a flirty tone.

"It's beautiful, but not romantic." said Sonic.

"Ugh!" said Amy in a disappointed tone.

"So what do we do now that Eggman's gone? Do we have anymore enemies?" asked Tails.

"Well, I still don't trust that Shadow character." said Amy.

"Please. He isn't a threat." said Sonic in a cocky tone.

"He's strong, though. Don't underestimate him, Sonic. Keep in mind that he is the Ultimate Life Form." said Tails.

"If Shadow ever became a threat, I would deal with him and put him in his place. Just like before when we fought."

"Okay, Sonic…" said Tails with a slightly concerned tone.

"Well, we have to get going now. You coming, Sonic?" asked Amy.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll be there in a sec. I just wanna get a good look at this sunset."

"Okay. Bye, Sonic!" Amy said in a cheerful tone.

Amy and Tails left as Sonic was still watching the sunset. Sometime later, the sun went down and nighttime rolled around. As Sonic was getting up, ready to go home, his body began shaking violently. His gloves and shoes melted back into his skin, his teeth grew sharper, his fur turned black, his pupils and irises disappeared, and his black symbol reappeared on his back. Sonic then let out a beastly roar into the sky. After doing that, Sonic ran off into the woods, in search of Shadow.
