Bush Fucknuts, descendant of Alexander Hamilton, strolled down the busy street when suddenly he saw a blue flash cross.

"What was that I wonder" He questioned.

He walked to where a small man with a blue coat was sitting behind an umbrella eating a chili dog.

"H-H-Hello fine sir" Bush said trying to hide all signs of fear and confusion.

"Hi there buddy" It replied.

"I'm just enjoying the view."

Then a heavy gust of wind blew away the umbrella revealing a sexy hedgehog sitting there.

"SONIC!" cried Bush, "My grandfather would tell me all about you!"

"Old Man Fucknuts? He aided me in my adventures decades ago. Then, all of a sudden, he disappeared" Sonic said.

Shortly thereafter, a plump Italian man wearing a red sweatshirt and blue overalls was walking around behind Bush when he saw Sonic

"SONIC! I haven't seen you in years."

"Mario, old pal, looking as cute as ever."

"Same goes for you. Last time I-a saw you, you were a-ramming me with a-Peach's Supa Dragon Dildo . I-a want to forget all about it." Mario said

"Maybe for you" Sonic grinned.

"Well, it's-a nice to see you again pal. I would-a love to chat a-more but I gotta go."

"See you later then Mario"

Mario headed off towards the pier just a few yards away. Unbeknownst to Sonic and Bush, a black van was slowly trailing him. The passenger's window rolled down, revealing a shrewd man with a Tommy gun.

"MARIO" shouted Sonic "LOOK OUT!"

The gunman started shooting, Mario leaped behind a table, he peeked above it and threw his hat. It hit the gunman's hand knocking the gun to the ground with a solid *chink* noise. The hat rebounded back onto Mario's head. More armed men started to file out of the van forming a circle around Mario. Sonic dashed at one of the men, then another, quickly disarming the thugs. SadBush rushed in but was shot in the arm by a masked person in the driver's seat. Mario took the chance to shoot up the van, not stopping until it was on fire.

"You don't normally kill people Mario" Sonic said

"I know, I've-a aged since we last met."

Suddenly, Sonic noticed that Mario's mustache had a few gray hairs.

"Help me you cocksucking hedgehog" Bush shouted

"Maybe don't be stupid if you don't want to get shot." Sonic shouted back as he walked reluctantly towards where Bush was lying.

Mario pulled a syringe out of his pocket and inserted it near where SadBush was shot. Bush sat against a low wall overlooking the sparkling ocean.

"What was in that syringe?" Asked Bush

"Mostly painkillers." Mario replied

Mario and Sonic helped Bush up and walked towards the pier together. They found a place to sit, an octagonal table made of polished wood next to a metal fence. Sonic looked around to make sure no one was watching them, then he spoke.

" A brutal war was fought, very dark times they were. "

"Oh Boy" Mario said "So, did Amy survive" He added, curious to what was going on.

"She died. It was almost 12 years ago now, Dr. Eggman was building some sort of satellite in space to destroy me forever and the citizens of Mobius and I tried to stop him. Unfortunately, Eggman was ready, all he had to do was press a button and all 25,000 citizens met their untimely ends. The war was finally coming to an end, a climax if you will, it was known as the Final Battle for Mobius. That battle raged for weeks on end, and right as Eggman started pushing offensively, all my friends died. The ones that survived for so long, perished. But they weren't the only ones, many of my men fell that day, our forces were cut in half and morale took an even larger blow. I, along with many others were grieving."

August 27th, 2022

Angel Island

10:30 A.M

The Final Battle for Mobius had been raging for almost a month. General Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, Shadow, and Tails were huddled in a trench together while bullets flew overhead. The sky was a pale green with shades of gray, the ground littered with the bodies of humans and other intelligent animals alike.

"What are we going to do General?" asked Tails.

"We need to find a way to cut off Eggman before he takes over Angel Island" Sonic replied.

Sonic had been promoted to General after Silver was personally assassinated by Eggman.

"I have an idea," shouted Shadow "What if we order an assault on him and then wipe out the rest of his army with a AC-130's."

"That would be very risky and might not even work" Sonic stated.

"Fine" Shadow murmured under his helmet. Then suddenly, he grabbed the closest gun and stood up, out of the trench.

"Wait! Shadow! It's suicide if you go out there!" yelled Amy.

Shadow took no heed to her warning and bolted out of the trench and into No Man's Land. He was yelling at the top of his lungs as if to say "I'm Here". He started to shoot in the general direction of Eggman's forces when someone from the other trench managed to shoot him in the leg. He yelled but kept on moving, kept on shooting. Blood was oozing from the wound, trickling down his legs. It was leaving a path behind him. Someone else managed to shoot him in the arm. He yelped again as the blood dripped onto the dirt and bodies beneath him. He pulled out a reserve handgun he managed to hide in his jacket and started to shoot aimlessly. He had made it no less than 60 feet before he was shot once again in the chest. He crippled onto the ground. The blood was soaking his clothes and seeping into the ground under him, turning it red. He couldn't think past the pain he was experiencing.

"SHADOW!" Amy exclaimed. She started running towards where Shadow was laying, rubbing away the tears from her eyes as she went. Finally, she knelt down next to him, his blood had temporarily dyed the dirt around him a faint red.

"Stay with me Shadow" Amy wept.

"I'm... right here... Amy" Shadow said in a low tone.

"You cunt, you left everyone you loved to prove your pitiful idea of self worth"

"G-g-go... leave me here... to die"

"No Shadow, you've left me ," Amy was sobbing "What am I going to do without you now."

"No... I-I-I'm basically dead already to y-you guys."

"Don't say that! We can still make it out alive" Amy was crying so hard Sonic could here her from the trenches.

"I-I-I told you... leave me here... save y-y-yourself"

"NO! I'll take you home and make sure you feel all better!" At this point, Amy was clawing onto desperation.

"L-l-leave... me...here..., save...yourse-"

"Shadow, Shadow, SHADOW!"

Amy was heartbroken, she had lost her one love out on the battlefield. Struck with grief, she took one of Shadow's gloves, revealing his dark fur. She got up and slowly walked back, her tears walking down her cheeks falling onto the glove. Bombings happening close behind. She was shot near the right bronchus of her lungs, her eyes opened wide, she fell to the ground. Gasping for air, she tried crawling back to Sonic, but she soon found out about the uselessness of her action. She died a painful death on no man's land, filled with pain and grief, and only 20 feet from Shadow. Sonic, back at the trenches, was did nothing to stop it, just sat there, watching. He saw not one, but two of his closest friends die just feet away. This war was starting to take a toll on his mental health. He sank against the wall of the trench and pulled out a canteen of whiskey, he took a swig of it then put it back in his pocket.

"We need a new plan Tails, Eggman' s pressuring us into going offensive, which surely is a suicide mission." Sonic whispered, barely loud enough to hear himself.

"We need to get away as fast as possible. we can't handle this right now." Knuckles stated confidently. "Tails, can you get both of us away?"

Tails looked at Sonic, who shook his head, "We can't leave, I'm their general. They'd have no sense of direction."

"What about Blaze, you always said that she'd be a good pick if something like this arose."

"But I'm abandoning my men for something so selfish, I simply cannot do it."

"Perhaps," said Tails, "We could lead a banzai charge as a distraction."

"But ultimately, that's futile, it's literally a suicide charge." Sonic's voice was getting louder.

"But it just might be our only choice!" Tails stated.

"I think Tails is right Sonic." Knuckles said calmly.

"Fine, fine." He sighed. Sonic called Blaze over and explained to her what was going to happen, there was resistance on her side but eventually they agreed.

"Alright Tails, while this charge is happening, Sonic and I will hang on to your legs while you use your tails to fly us to a secluded area."

"OK"

Knuckles peeked above the trench to view where Eggman's forced were. Blaze was trying to give the remaining soldiers a morale boost whilst simultaneously explaining what was going to happen. Tails lifted himself in the air just enough so they could grab his legs. As soon as they confirmed their readiness, Tails took flight. They could see their forces pouring into No Man's Land, Blaze leading the charge. The countless bodies being laid to waste. The last thing Sonic saw on that field was Blaze making it into the enemy trench. In the deep woods behind Eggman's trench, a sniper on patrol noticed Sonic and his comrades take flight. Eggman had told his squad to kill everyone on sight or else they'd suffer a worse fate than Silver. Determined, the sniper aimed down his scope and at Tails' head. The sniper missed slightly and ended up hitting one of his tails. They were soon killed by Blaze. General Sonic and his team crashed into the trees and fell to the jungle grass below.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH" Tails' voice pierced the forest.

"Tails! Tails! TAILS!" Sonic kept yelling.

He ran off into the woods with Knuckles following close behind. Eventually, Sonic saw a glimpse of one of Tails' tails. He rushed towards it with hope, even yelling his name. He uncovered the tail only to find it had been completely torn off. He stared at it for a long while, the pit in his stomach increasing in size.

"Maybe we should leave Soni-" Knuckles tried to say, but Sonic slapped him.

"We're not leaving until we find him."

The General continued walking when he felt a droplet of sorts on his arm. He looked up, terrifed to see that his childhood friend had been impaled by a tree branch. Sonic looked at him one last time, one lone silent tear rolling down his face. They could hear a group coming their way quickly. They ran blindly towards the sunlight peaking through the trees, hoping to come across salvation, away from the hellish battlefield. Eventually, they came upon a clearing, seemingly untouched by the battle. But through all the rage going on, Dr. Eggman had managed to sneak up on them with a small group of his own deathbots. Sonic turned around and sheer horror crept onto his face. Dr. Eggman grinned and signaled for the bots to release the hail of lead unto Sonic and Knuckles.
