Ugh. I'm sorry, I can't stop myself from uploading stories.

I want to delete most of my stories, to be honest. ./ But, a lot of people still want them up, so I'm kinda stuck in the middle. :v

Anyways, here's the prologue. It's basically kind what I wanted Befriending My Rival to really be. Enjoy.


Silence.

Sonic stood silently in the dark forest, his fists clenched.

He was thinking about his rival... not Shadow.

His friends had called it an unhealthy obsession. They had tried to tell the hedgehog that it wasn't as important as he thought it was. The fact that he lost the console wars was a thing of the past.

But he wouldn't let go, not after what Sega had done... putting him is mediocre to downright horrible games. 06, Boom, Even the mediocre Forces...

He had become the laughing stock of the industry, often being harrassed by other mascots. The hatedom for him grew significantly.

Yet he blamed it all on one person, ignoring the other companies that had also outclassed the Blue Blur.

The thought of him made his blood boil. He narrowed his eyes, lips curling into a frustrated snarl. His claws dug into his palms, blood squirting out of his hands. His rage only grew more...

The massive amount of success he had amassed... how he became a cultural icon...

"...I swear..." He muttered, clenching his teeth, even more, his rage increasing.

"I'LL KILL YOU, MARIO!"
