Hero Story
Chapter 3: The Ultimate Missing Person Report
Meanwhile in the Mobius National News building, Mobius City, Mobius, June 30th, 2018, 2:25 PM UTC -2...
"So then I said "Why, it's funny when you splash someone with water!" then my friend says "Oh, but it's so wet and cold!" then I said "That's what she said!'" Michael told a coworker about a funny joke.
Michael and his co-worker, whose name was Dwight and had a pair of glasses on and slicked-back hair, started laughing as Michael was hitting his desk trying to calm his laughter down and Dwight was clutching his stomach from the slight pain.
While the two workers continued laughing, a woman in a long-sleeve shirt and a black skirt came up to them and asked, "What are you guys laughing about?"
Michael stopped laughing and said "Oh, I was just telling Dwight a funny joke. We were laughing our asses off!"
The woman groaned and then said, "Did you tell him another one of your stupid "That's what she said" jokes?"
"Oh, come on, Jenny! My jokes are funny!" Michael said to defend his jokes. Jenny shrugged and walked away.
Michael quietly said to Dwight, "Another woman with no sense of humor." And rolled his eyes.
Meanwhile, a couple yards away from the MNN building, a strange-looking yellow and red car was being driven by a yellow fox while being followed by a blue hedgehog running on his feet.
When they arrived at the building, the fox got out of his car and said to the hedgehog "Well, here it is. Let's go in."
The hedgehog, whose name was Sonic, then asked "Tails, how do you know whatever you found has a connection to Shadow?"
Tails didn't respond as he just signaled Sonic to come into the building. When they opened the glass doors, Michael and Dwight turned their head to Tails and Sonic.
Michael said "Hey! Chronic! Fox-boy! Nice to see you, guys!" as he walked towards the two Mobians and greeted them. Sonic gave a fist-bump to Michael and Tails shook hands with him.
Michael then asked, "What're you guys doing here?"
"I was gonna take Sonic to the newspaper archive in the basement. You know, just wanting to snoop around and look at old newspapers." Answered Tails as he crossed his arms.
Michael said "Alright, now remember! Newspapers aren't-" before Tails interrupted him.
"-Allowed to be taken out of the archive."
"Yeah, yeah, you guys can go. Elevator's right there." Said Michael when he painted at the nearby elevator. Sonic and Tails started walking towards the elevator and entered it.
Tails pressed a button labeled "B" and then pressed the button that closed the doors. The elevator started going down and faint music was playing in the background.
Tails and Sonic stood silent and still while the elevator was still going down. The elevator then stopped and played a beeping sound.
The elevator doors slowly opened, and Sonic and Tails walked out of the elevator. The basement was very dark, as it only had a few lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling.
Tails started walking through the big cabinets filled with old newspapers, cubicles, and computers with Sonic following him.
While Sonic was looking around, Tails asked "Hey, how's the communicator watch prototype?"
"It's very useful. The Enerbeams were functional and the nets were pretty helpful." Answered Sonic as he pointed to his watch.
Tails said "That's good. I just hope I can work out any bugs. What about the nanotech? Is it reliable?"
"Dude, what do you think? Anything you make is reliable. Even if it hasn't been tested, it'd trust it anyway!" Said Sonic while patting Tails on the back.
Sonic then said "Tails, you're smart. Smarter than me, smarter than anyone else in the world, even Egghead! You have an IQ of 400! Impressive for a ten-year-old like you! Don't ever doubt yourself. You're smarter than that!"
Tails said, "Thanks Sonic."
"No problem, man." Sonic chuckled.
Tails chuckled but suddenly, something about Sonic caught his eye. On his left arm, on his upper forearm, he saw a 2-inch cut on it. It was sorta fresh and looked like it had already poured out a fair amount of blood and left Sonic's forearm with a small red stain of dry blood.
"Hey Sonic, your forearm doesn't look so good. What happened?" Tails asked Sonic as he made the blue hedgehog look down at his forearm.
Sonic grabbed his forearm with his right hand and replied calmly "Oh, it's nothing. During that bank robbery fiasco, the Muscle guy, before he transformed, slashed me a nice cut with his knife. No worries though, can't feel the cut anymore. No need for stitches or anything of that sort."
Tails nodded and said, "Seems I need not worry, then."
Tails then looked forward and saw a sign saying, "Newspaper Archive" and a bunch of cabinets. Tails said, "Here it is, Sonic."
The two long-time best friends started opening cabinets and shuffling through newspapers. Sonic took out a newspaper from September 9th, 1999 and looked at the front page. It was an image of a flooded Station Square and destroyed buildings and roads. The headline said in big letters "STATION SQUARE LEFT IN RUINS, FLOODS KILLED 102."
Sonic let out a small laugh before he asked Tails "Hey Tails, what was the date of the newspaper that you found?"
"Hmm, let me try to remember." Said the intelligent young mammal. The small fox started scratching his chin with his eyes closed.
Sonic waited for a few silent seconds until Tails opened his eyes and said confidently, "I remember now."
Tails then walked towards the cabinets categorized in the 2010's. He checked the years on the cabinets by sliding his finger on the labels as he read "2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016...2017!"
The fox opened the long cabinet and started shuffling through the newspapers. He checked the dates from January to December.
Sonic walked over to Tails and asked, "What month are you looking for?"
"I'm trying to look for November. November 21st to be exact." Tails responded as he checked the dates in November 2017.
"18, 19, 20 and 21! Found it!" Tails exclaimed when he found the right newspaper. Tails grabbed the newspaper and took it out.
Sonic said "November 21st? I don't really remember any newspaper arriving on my doorstep that day. I mean, I don't think so anyway. I was too busy preparing for your birthday party that day."
Tails let out a soft "Hmm." Before finally explaining "The paper was released to the public. But it seems to be heavily censored in a way to hide the actual truth about Shadow's disappearance. Every piece of information that I've found here seems to have been censored in a very subtle way. It's...a bit hard to explain. It's almost unnoticeable to the naked eye. And by that, I mean the average layman's eye. Whoever did it maybe knew something nobody else did about Shadow. That's what I'm suspicious about."
"Censored? What do you mean? Why would they censor it? I thought the continent of Mobius and its people were against censorship. Heck, I don't like censorship either. Neither does anybody from the Freedom Fighters. That's one of the reasons why I don't like China. You do know about all the shit they did in '89, right? That's why I use VPN's. "Take back your internet privacy today!"' Sonic asked while scratching his head and reciting a cheesy virtual private network slogan.
Tails said to Sonic, unsure about the information gathered, "I'm not exactly sure. It's probably just speculation on my part. But first, let me ask you a question. When was the last time you saw Shadow?"
After scratching his chin for a couple seconds, he responded "Um, I think it was 6 days before that newspaper was made. In the early afternoon. He said he was going somewhere far away to visit a loved one's grave."
Tails raised an eyebrow and asked, "And did you see him again after that?"
"No. That day was the last time I ever talked to him or even seen him. In fact, I haven't seen Shadow or heard from him at all in 7 months." Sonic explained in a somber tone, realizing that Shadow has been gone for so long that he almost forgot.
"Darn, has it already been that long?" Tails asked himself as even he was as shocked as Sonic was at the passage of time. Seems like November 15th, 2017 was just yesterday. And it's already June 30th, 2018.
Time just flies by regardless, huh?
Tails then asked another question, "You said he was gonna visit a loved one's grave, right? What loved one did he visit?"
Sonic said, as he began wondering about what Shadow said to him 7 months prior, "No idea, the bastard never tells me or anyone anything that's personal. Though if I had to guess, I think he made a sort of grave for that Maria character and Eggman's grandfather, Gerald."
"Didn't he say like thirteen years ago that he would put the past behind him?" Asked Tails confusingly, recounting the events that happened in November 2005, which happened to be an alien invasion of all things.
Sonic raised his shoulders and responded "Yeah well, most of what that guy says more likely tends to be very vague as if he had other intentions in mind that he didn't want to tell anybody, especially not the Freedom Fighters. But, he never said that he would forget about his Space Colony Ark family, I mean, would you forget about your only sister-like figure and your creator? Of course not!"
Tails scratched his chin and then asked yet another question "You said he went far away to visit that grave. Did he say where he was going?"
"Nope. I guess he just wanted that visit to be a private matter. And he just didn't want us to annoy him. I can understand that though." Said Sonic somewhat relating to Shadow's situation.
Tails handed the newspaper made 6 days after Shadow's disappearance to Sonic.
Tails opened the newspaper up and said, pointing to the main headline. "Here's the newspaper. Read the front page."
Sonic grabbed the newspaper, flipped to the front page and read the headlines in big letters saying "G.U.N AGENT GONE MISSING, MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION SITE MILES AWAY FROM CENTRAL CITY."
The front page showed a Missing poster of Shadow. Sonic was shocked when he read the headline. As he started reading the paragraphs on the front page, he started clenching his fists and wrinkling the paper. Sonic then calmed his fists and dropped the newspaper.
"Tails, this doesn't make sense!" Said Sonic in a loud, angry voice.
Tails stood up and walked towards another archive, the TV report archive. Tails opened a cabinet labeled "November."
He shuffled through a bunch of VHS tapes until he found a tape labeled "November 23rd." Tails grabbed the tape and took it out. Sonic stood up and then turned his head left when he heard a loud creak. Tails came back while pushing a cart with an old cube-shaped TV.
Sonic asked "Wait, is that a..."
"Old TV." Tails said. "With a built-in VCR." The fox continued.
Tails turned on the TV and put it in the VHS tape in a slot below the screen. The TV played loud static and then showed a news report from that day.
"Good afternoon. Breaking News, The Guardian Units of Nations Commander, Commander Abraham Tower, responds to #MissingShadow rumors. On November 16th, 2017, rumors were being spread on the Internet about G.U.N Agent Shadow The Hedgehog going missing. The day before that, in the United Federations of America, the Central City Police Department started receiving calls from tourists saying that they witnessed a faraway explosion miles away from the city. When the police arrived at the explosion site, nobody was there. Forensic scientists looked at clues in the dirt around the blast radius but didn't find any remains of planted explosives or grenades or shrapnel. There were remnants of mysterious rocks under a tree that was barely damaged by the explosion.
"But there were dropped flowers a couple of feet away from the explosion site. There weren't many clues to discover what happened. There was an abandoned chopper motorcycle near the site. The bike had a large sticker of the G.U.N symbol. The motorcycle apparently belonged to Shadow The Hedgehog. That proves that Shadow was there, but he seems to have disappeared. The bike was completely blacked out and was covered in ash, as if it was burnt or was blown up. But because there weren't many potential subjects, clear evidence, and traces of fingerprints, the case was closed.
"But this didn't sit well with many citizens. The day after the investigation of the crime scene was done, citizens joined together to protest against the police department. Many say that the investigation was lazy and incomplete and, as one vulgar protester said, "Half-assed." The protests continued for 3 days until November 20th, when the Commander of G.U.N responded to the rumors of the missing hedgehog." Explained the news reporter.
The news report then played a video recording. The video showed a press conference with the Commander behind a podium with 10 microphones on the top of the podium.
Multiple reporters started loudly asking "Commander, Commander! What do you think about the disappearance of Shadow The Hedgehog?" "Do you think Shadow went missing?" "Where is Shadow?"
The Commander, with sweat dripping from his forehead, sighed and responded "The r-rumors are false. Shadow was sent to attend an important mission in Shamar. No further details. I-I don't mean to sound insulting but I really f-feel like the public had overreacted over Shadow's s-sudden d-disappearance. You shouldn't worry t-though. Shadow is in safe h-hands and currently in a secret m-military camp in Sh-Sh-Shamar. I apologize for any w-worries caused by his d-departure."
The news report then switches back to the news anchor. "Stay tuned for more information on the subject on our website. This has been Mobius National News, signing out."
The news report switched to a weather forecast with a different reporter. As the reporter started talking about the weather, Tails got impatient and shut off the TV and ejected the tape from the VCR.
Tails grabbed the tape and said, "Now do you understand?"
Sonic sighed and looked away.
Tails crossed his arms and said "I know how you feel. I've never felt like a true friend to Shadow but now that he's gone, it feels weird. Almost like all this time before he disappeared, I took him for granted."
"Don't say that."
Tails made a confused face and asked "What?"
Sonic faced Tails and said "He's not gone. He can't be dead. I don't know where he is but I'll find him. It'll be hard but I will find him. Even if it takes forever."
"That's the Sonic I know. It might be impossible, but I'll try to follow you every step of the way and help you. Correction, I WILL follow you every step of the way." Said Tails with a childish grin.
Sonic smiled and replied, "Thanks Tails."
The two of them exchanged fist-bumps and started walking towards the elevator.
But behind a big storage shelf full of folders and old computers, somebody was spying on the two while wearing a brown hoodie, blue jeans, shoes that looked like Sonic's shoes, a black bandana mask, and dark goggles. The mysterious figure then disappeared in a flash.
Sonic and Tails got in the elevator as Sonic pressed a button labeled "L" and then pressed the button that closed the doors. The two of them stood still while the elevator went up to the lobby.
A few seconds went by where Sonic and Tails looked around the elevator and listened to the quiet music. But suddenly, the elevator abruptly stopped and the two Mobians were flung up to the elevator ceiling then fell back to the floor as they hit their heads on the ceiling and lost consciousness.
Minutes passed before Sonic finally regained consciousness. Sonic slowly opened his eyes while feeling his mouth pressed against the elevator wall and his ears were ringing as if Sonic heard a loud explosion. He slowly got up but lost his balance because his legs were weak for some reason. To keep himself steady, the blue hedgehog pressed his hands against the walls of the elevator.
Sonic noticed Tails unconscious on the floor when he then noticed the elevator doors. The doors were closed but the mechanism was damaged so the open doors button wouldn't work. The mechanism was jammed. The lights inside the elevator flickered and released sparks.
Sonic gained some balance and went towards the door. He put his fingers in a little space that the doors left open. He started to force the door open using his strength. But Sonic struggled to open the door as he was weakened by his injuries. Tails finally woke up and noticed Sonic trying to open the doors. Sonic turned his head backwards and said to Tails, "Finally you're awake. Don't worry. I'll get us out of here."
Tails slowly got up and started helping Sonic. The small fox grabbed the left door and started trying to pull it open. Sonic's strength came back and managed to open both doors with Tails' help. Sonic noticed a small space that led to the lobby. But the space was too small to get through. Sonic jumped to the hole and put his left hand on the floor and his right hand on the ceiling of the elevator. Sonic started lifting the elevator up. He also put his left foot on the lobby floor to help lift the elevator.
When Sonic made a big enough space to escape the elevator, Sonic let go of the elevator and crawled out of the elevator. Sonic turned around and reached for Tails. Tails grabbed Sonic's hand and was pulled out of the elevator. Fortunately, Tails was safely pulled out of the elevator before the elevator plummeted down to basement level and crashed onto the floor.
The two stood up and saw the lobby completely empty with some employees rushing out the doors.
Some employees bumped into Sonic, causing the hedgehog to yell "Hey, easy there, buddy!"
Tails asked, "What's going on?" As he looked around worryingly.
Sonic ran towards the door with Tails following behind.
The two got out of the building and saw a rising cloud of smoke coming from far away. Sonic was shocked when he saw cars on fire and debris from buildings on the streets.
Sonic looked up and saw a helicopter flying towards where the smoke was coming from.
But suddenly, a mysterious glowing purple sphere flew at high speed towards the helicopter. The sphere exploded when it hit the helicopter. The helicopter started spinning out of control and started falling towards Sonic and Tails. Sonic grabbed Tails' arm and jumped out of the way. The helicopter crashed onto the road and blew up in a fiery explosion. Sonic and Tails looked at the burning helicopter while nervously breathing. Sonic noticed smoke coming from far away then dashed towards the source of the destruction while Tails said "Sonic, wait!" but Sonic didn't hear him.
Tails stood up and ran after Sonic while yelling "Wait for me!"
Sonic ran through streets at around a hundred mph, zooming past people running away while screaming bloody murder. Sonic noticed a car sliding out of control towards him. He jumped out of the way of the car, the driver bailed out and left the car to crash into a store and explode.
Sonic noticed another helicopter falling towards him. Sonic jumped to a wall and ran on it while the helicopter exploded when it crashed into a small building.
The blue hedgehog jumped off the wall and thought to himself "(What's going on? Why is this happening?)"
Suddenly, a truck carrying a fuel tank was sliding out of control towards a line of traffic. Sonic dashed off to the traffic and went in front of the sliding truck. Sonic stopped the truck with his bare hands, allowing the truck driver to get out of the vehicle, pushed the truck away from the traffic and then the gas tank exploded, blowing up the truck as well.
Sonic arrived at a police barricade blocking the entrance to the Mobius Park.
An officer noticed Sonic and said "Thank goodness you're here, Sonic. We need serious help handling the threat."
Sonic responded, "Don't worry, I'll do what I can."
Sonic jumped over the police barricade and ran towards the park. Sonic slowed down and started checking for the source of the explosion. The blue hedgehog looked around the park. There were police cars on fire and multiple destroyed helicopters. The ground was burnt black and some of the buildings were destroyed from the front, somewhat resembling an explosion crater. Sonic accidentally stepped on a scuffed red piece of metal on the floor. Sonic picked it up and saw some yellow stripes and the symbol of something. Sonic couldn't make heads or tails of it since some of the pain was scraped away. But the symbol looked familiar somehow. Sonic ignored it and threw it behind him.
But then, he noticed somebody suspicious far away. It looked like a hedgehog in a brown hoodie and blue jeans. Sonic started walking towards the hedgehog and yelled "Hey. Hey, you!" but the hedgehog didn't respond. Sonic said again "Hey! I'm talking to you! Why are you here?! Did you cause all of this?!"
The hedgehog suddenly aimed his hand and shot a purple energy blast towards Sonic. Sonic jumped back and the energy beam hit the ground and exploded.
Sonic yelled "What the hell was that for?!" once he landed on his feet.
The hedgehog said "Get out of here, you scoundre-Wait a second...You're Sonic The Hedgehog, right? 'Hero of Mobius', 'The Fastest Thing Alive'? Nice to meet you on this unfortunate day. How's it going? It's been a long time, right? Or like you say, "Long time no see?"'
The unknown hedgehog looked at all of Sonic's features and said with a smile "Hmm, I'd say you aged extremely well. You don't look a day over whatever age you were when we first met. It's amazing how technology can advance in a few decades. This may be Mobius but still, the future sure is advanced."
Sonic clenched his fist and yelled "I don't know what you're talking about us meeting a 'long time ago'! Don't start acting so friendly! You almost hit me with that energy blast and destroyed a part of my city! You expect me to act all buddy-buddy with you now?!"
Sonic dashed towards the hedgehog and aimed a fist at his face. "Take this!" Screamed Sonic.
The hedgehog grabbed Sonic's fist. And then kicked Sonic in the gut. Sonic was sent flying 2 feet off the ground but luckily Sonic landed on his feet.
Sonic clutched his stomach in pain as he heard the hedgehog saying "My apologies we got off on the wrong foot. But if you're going to be violent with me, then I might as well explain to you my reason for being here before things get difficult."
"What?" Questioned Sonic with a confused expression.
"It's been a long time since we last saw each other, Sonic. You may not remember since it was indeed very long ago. Since the days of that damned laboratory, I won't forget it all. The time I spent trapped in that hellhole was miserable. You hear me? Miserable. I've been alone for so many years and have missed out on so much. But that's not what matters, right? Over the years, I've gotten more and more powerful and so has my want to avenge myself. You made my life hell and it's about damn time I return the favor. Killing you isn't my only goal but as of now, it's my top priority. Of course, I'm not exactly a man of action. I believe in the saying "Slow and steady wins the race." But you'd be surprised how fast I can go. I won't kill you. But I'll make sure you never see your friends again and die alone and pathetic. Every person I've killed has died a quick death. Painless. But people like you, Sonic, deserve to die a slow and excruciating death. I'm sorry but this is the way things are supposed to be."
Sonic's anger made him begin to squeeze his fists and clench his teeth. As he did, Sonic's shoes started releasing blue trails and cones of blue colored wind. Suddenly, Sonic tackled the hedgehog into the sky.
Sonic held on to the hedgehog's arms but then the hedgehog whacked Sonic's head with his forehead. The hedgehog grabbed Sonic's arm and threw him towards a building. Sonic broke through a big window of the skyscraper and crashed into an empty cubicle.
The mysterious hedgehog flew into the building and said "Like I expected, you're still as fast and agile as the day we both laid eyes on each other. I'm getting a rush of nostalgia!" and launched an energy sphere towards Sonic while he was laying down on the broken table of the cubicle.
Sonic jumped out of the way and started charging blue energy in his right hand. The hooded hedgehog said, "Oh no, you don't!" And shot an energy blast at Sonic. Sonic jumped into the ceiling and dodged the energy blast by running on the ceiling while upside-down.
The hooded hedgehog started shooting energy spheres, but Sonic jumped off the ceiling and rolled into a ball and homed into the hedgehog.
The hooded hedgehog jumped in the air and spin kicked Sonic out of the Homing Attack. Sonic grabbed the hooded hedgehog's leg, spun him around, and threw him at a wall.
The hooded hedgehog grabbed a pair of scissors and threw them at Sonic. Sonic dodged the scissors, but the hooded hedgehog stretched his hand out, closed his index and middle finger, and the scissors flew back to his hand.
The hedgehog slashed the scissors at Sonic but Sonic managed to dodge but then the hedgehog slashed the scissors again and opened a bleeding wound. Sonic groaned and clutched his arm then kicked the scissors out of the hedgehog's hands.
The hedgehog teleported behind Sonic and wrapped his arm around his neck, trying to choke Sonic. Sonic grabbed the hooded hedgehog's arm with both of his hands while continuously trying to trip the enemy.
Sonic bashed the back of his head into the hooded hedgehog's face. The hooded hedgehog stumbled a few steps back before Sonic grabbed a computer monitor and bashed it on the hedgehog's head multiple times, breaking the screen.
The hooded hedgehog went towards a cubicle, ripped off a cubicle wall, and smacked Sonic in the face with it.
Sonic stumbled a few steps back before having the cubicle wall thrown at him and then getting air kicked in the gut.
Sonic crashed through a window and fell out of the building. The hooded hedgehog went after Sonic by jumping out of the building and flying down to Sonic, who was still falling.
The hedgehog grabbed Sonic by the neck and flew towards another skyscraper. The hedgehog slammed Sonic into the side of the building and kicked Sonic through the building. Sonic crashed through multiple rooms before coming out the other side of the skyscraper.
The hedgehog flew around the building and punched Sonic through the building once again. Sonic came out the other side of the building but managed to plant his feet on the side of the building. He began running up the building and began charging energy into his right fist. When he approached the top, he focused part of his energy into his feet to jump high into the air and break the sound barrier, leaving behind a funny Sonic shaped vapor cone and producing an incredibly loud boom of over two hundred decibels.
The hooded hedgehog saw Sonic skyrocket into the air, so he began flying up to Sonic. Sonic noticed the hooded hedgehog flying while aiming a glowing purple fist at him with long streaks of purple lightning. Sonic dashed down to the hooded hedgehog and aimed his blue glowing fist at his enemy while releasing long lines of wind and air.
Sonic and the hooded hedgehog flew at each other at high speed, both with their right fists being aimed at each other.
The two hedgehogs clashed fists and caused a blindingly bright explosion of blue and purple which released a powerful electromagnetic pulse which blew up any vehicle within miles of the explosion and overloaded power lines and generators and caused a citywide, possibly continental blackout across the entire Mobius continent. The explosion also caused a powerful shockwave which launched vehicles and people in the air, broke windows on skyscrapers and displaced bits and bits of concrete.
The clashing both knocked Sonic and the hooded hedgehog away from each other. The hooded hedgehog was able to regain his balance by flying and then dove at Sonic who was hundreds of feet below him. He grabbed Sonic by the neck and threw him at a skyscraper. Sonic broke through multiple buildings before cancelling his momentum and planting his feet on one of the skyscrapers he broke through.
Sonic ran up the other skyscraper and in a split-second before he jumped, he tapped the bottom of his communicator watch and pulled out a long glowing blue rope with the tips of his thumb and index finger.
When Sonic reached the top of the building, the blue hedgehog jumped backwards and swung the rope around like a lasso and grabbed the hooded hedgehog by the neck while he was flying.
Sonic slammed the hedgehog on the side of another building and crushed his head with a Homing Attack. The hooded hedgehog then punched Sonic in the gut and sent Sonic flying across the length of the building.
The blue blur slid to a stop and dashed behind the hooded hedgehog and headbutted him in the back. The hooded hedgehog fell off the building but then started flying back up and shot an energy sphere out of his hand.
Sonic jumped out of the way and did a long jump towards another building and landed on the side of it. Sonic ran the length of the skyscraper and then jumped to another one.
The hooded hedgehog, still in the air, said "You're not gonna get away from me easily."
The hedgehog went after Sonic and started firing energy spheres at Sonic, but the blue hedgehog started dodging them as he jumped from building to building.
Sonic wiped off sweat dripping from his forehead and thought "(This is a nightmare. That guy is no joke. Whoever he is, he sure is powerful. And what did he mean by long time no see? I've never met him before. This is creeping me out.)"
The hooded hedgehog proves to be a huge problem for Sonic! A very powerful enemy with a confusing motive. What will happen to Sonic if he loses? What is the hooded hedgehog hiding? Who is the mysterious hedgehog?
