Hello. The Censor has been released from the hospital and I'm hiding. While I'm up here I might as well work on my fics… The disclaimer is on the sticky-note over there…
Sticky-Note: Spectral does not own Sonic the Hedgehog or other related characters or topics. The only things in this story he owns are the story itself and the mysterious fox.

Eggman returned to the main control room. He brought up screens of outside. The GUN robots were still moving towards the cave. The nameless fox was still there.
Eggman: He must be insane…there's no way he can take on all those robots alone. Why are they after him… it doesn't matter... I'll take the Chaos Emeralds after he gets himself killed.
**Outside**
Fox: Hmmm looks like they only sent laser hunters… This should be interesting…
The robots stopped and pointed all their guns at the fox. The fox rushed forward and jumped into the air. He came crashing down on one robot. The others turned and fired, but the fox was already in the air. The crossfire took out several of the Hunters but there were still many off them.
Fox: Darn, I was hoping that would get rid of more of them… well time to run…
The fox kicked and punched through a few robots before taking off into the desert. A sandstorm started and the robots were blown away. The fox was caught in the storm and got lost.
Eggman: Looks like he's not just an ordinary fox…but why is the military after him?
**Later, somewhere in the desert**
A gloved hand broke out of a sand dune. It was followed by the gray fox. He got up and looked around. There were some ruins in the distance. The fox moved towards them and the Emerald started shaking and glowing.
Fox: What's wrong with this thing?
The fox continued walking and the emerald didn't stop. The unnamed wanderer walked into the ruins and started looking around. He came to what looked like a shrine of sorts and the emerald stopped. The small mammal slowly walked up the steps and almost walked right into a very large green emerald.
Fox: Woah… That's one big emer…*POW*
The fox went flying. Someone had just punched him. He hit the wall and put a hand to his jaw. He looked up at the angry red echidna that had hit him.
Fox: That hurt. Why'd you punch me?!?!
Knuckles: Stay away from the Master Emerald!
Fox: Master Emerald?
Knuckles: The Master Emerald has special powers that neutralize the powers of the Chaos Emeralds. That makes it very powerful. I won't let you steal it.
Fox: I wasn't trying to steal that thing. Besides, how would I get out of here? It's almost as big as I am.
Knuckles: You expect me to believe that?
Rouge: *floats down from above* He wasn't trying to steal the Emerald. He was caught in the sandstorm and wandered in here. I've been watching him.
Knuckles: Well I'm sorry that I punched you then.
Fox: *wipes away blood* No problem… who are you anyway?
Knuckles: My name is Knuckles.
Rouge: And I'm Rouge the Bat. What about you?
Fox: Sorry. I don't remember much about my past and my name just happens to be one of the things that I don't remember.
Rouge: Oh…
Fox: Unless you want to inflict more harm upon me, I'll be leaving now.
The fox left without another word. The Bat and Echidna watched him disappear into the distance.
Knuckles: For someone that can't remember their past he sure didn't seem bothered.
Rouge: Couldn't you tell that he was just acting like it didn't bother him? He seemed almost depressed…
**Mountains**
The Fox was lost again. He was walking along a cliff. There was a jungle below. The Emerald seemed to want to go to that jungle but the unnamed fox couldn't find a way down.
Fox: Why does this strange gem want to get to that jungle? It was acting the same way around that giant emerald…what is that noise?
The fox turned around and he was surprised. There was a rockslide heading towards him. He turned and jumped over the cliff and began running down the mountainside.
**In the sky over the mountain**
Tails was flying over the mountain in the Tornado/Cyclone. He was following the signal from a Chaos Emerald. Sonic thought that Eggman was up to something again and had taken off. Tails was trying to follow the signal in his plane.
Tails picked up the radio and called Sonic.
Tails: Sonic, I'm getting another signal. There appears to be another Chaos Emerald in the area.
Sonic: It's got to be Eggman, he's not at his base. I'm on my way there now.
Tails: Okay, but have you seen Amy? She took off after you and I haven't seen her since.
Sonic: Don't worry, I'll find her.
Tails hung up the radio and directed his plane into the jungle below. He changed it to mech mode and proceeded towards the Chaos Emerald.
**Mountain**
The Fox kept running. He ran right into the jungle and got away from the rockslide.
Fox: Whew… that was close… hey isn't that Tails?
The fox jumped through a few trees and jumped out a few feet in front of the Cyclone.
Fox: Hey, Tails.
Tails: Hi! What are you doing here?
Fox: *Holds up Emerald* This thing wanted to come down here.
Tails: That's a Chaos Emerald!
Fox: So I've heard.
Tails: Maybe that's the reason that GUN is after you.
Fox: Could be, but they were after me before I found it.
Tails: You haven't seen Amy have you?
Fox: No…
Tails: I'd better call Sonic and tell him what's going on.
Tails tried the radio but all he got was static.
Tails: Something's interfering with the radio.
Fox: more robots…
Tails looked up and saw some Mono-Beetles flying in their direction. The two foxes hid in the bushes and the beetles passed.
Fox: There must be a base nearby.
Tails: Maybe they got Amy.
Fox: Maybe…
Tails: Let's go see.
The two foxes proceeded in the direction of the suspected GUN base.
