Chapter 03: "Nightmare Creature"

Day 2
Station Square
7:01 P.M.

	Sonic was having dinner at the local burger shop with his new 
friend, Nellie Stargazer, and his new companion, a little light 
blue chao. Bane Shadow, Nellie's cameraman, had called it quits for 
the day and went on home. Nellie was excited to be with Sonic. She 
had never met royalty before. Sonic's chao was happily munching 
on a bit of chilidog that Sonic had been eating. Nellie adored 
Sonic for his kindness. Sonic had fallen head-over-heels for Nellie.

	Sonic walked out with Nellie, hand-in-hand, with the chao on 
Sonic's head, after dinner was over.
	"I'm really glad to of met you, Nellie..." Sonic said.
	"Please, call me Shalita Ranay. Nellie is my reporter name." 
she replied.
	Sonic grinned from ear to ear, and nearly fainted when she 
kissed his cheek.
	Brrrring! Rrrring!
	Shalita sighed as she pulled a cell phone from her pocket.
	"Nellie Stargazer.....oh hey Miles! What's wrong....? Oh 
my.....yeah, I'll be there a-sap. Bye sweetie."
	Shalita looked at Sonic as she clicked off her cell phone. 
"Sorry, that was my nephew Miles. Appartently someone broke into 
the hangar this afternoon. I better take care up it..."
	"Bye...Shalita..." Sonic waved, half-heartedly.
	Shalita, sensing Sonic's loneliness, called out. "I'll see 
you tommorrow morning, at the hotel!"
	Sonic grinned. "It's a date!"
	It's a date.....it's a date! Sonic was a-flutter with 
excitement. Okay, hedgehog, calm down, it's only being friendly....
Sonic's chao cooed with happiness as Sonic was happy. He ran down 
the street in a burst of speed. He held the chao in his hands as he 
ran, gaining speed to run and dash off the side of buildings. He 
dashed to the top of a building, and stop for a moment, as a 
breeze hit him in the face. "Oh yeah!" he cried. "This is 
happenin!"
	The night silence shattered, snapping Sonic out of his daze, 
and he snapped his head down.
	"Hmm?" he wondered as police cars screeched through the 
street, with their sirens on. The sirens disturbed Sonic's chao as 
he started crying. Sonic tried to calm it down. "Shhh...it's 
okay...."
	The chao started to calm down, but immediately cried again as 
a news chopter flew by, followed by a pink light.
	Fed up, Sonic vaulted from the building, the crying chao in 
his hands.
	"What's up?" he wondered, as he took off after the cars.
	Police cars had blocked up the courtyard that was in front of 
City Hall. A creature made entirely of water landed on the roof 
of the building. A SWAT team started surrounding the building, 
their guns loading.
	"We have you completely surrounded. Surrender yourself!" the 
captian yelled into the megaphone.
	The crerature leaped from the roof of the building to the ground.
	"Ready men?" The captian called. "Fire!"
	The police started shooting at the creature, and it seemed to 
take every shot without even a flinch. The bullets that was shot 
into it dropped to the cement.
	The captian backed off. "Oh no! Our weapons are useless! 
Retreat! Everyone, FALL BACK!"
	The captian fired two final shots at he backed up and ran 
behind the police cars that were blocking the courtyard entrance.
	Up in the sky, the news choptor hovered over the scene. Bane 
Shadow was filming the scene while Shalita was reporting it.
	"I'm Nellie Stargazer live at City Hall, where a terrifying 
monster was confronted by Station Square police. Actions taken 
against the creature have failed and police have retreated behind 
the man-made barrier they created with their vehicles. Is there 
ANYthing they can do to stop this beast?"
	A shout from the top of one of the squad cars caught the 
pilot's attention, as he shone his spotlight over in that direction.
	"Wait just a moment folks, there's someone down there! 
It's...YES! It's Prince Sonic, the very one that had arrived in
 our fair city just hours before. And he's about to confront the 
monster himself!"

	Which is exactly what Sonic had in mind as he set his chao 
just behind the barrier. He had leaped on top of the car.
	"Yeah! This'll be fun!" he thought as he leaped from the 
car to just in front of the monster.
	The monster thought he heard the cries of a baby chao 
coming from the hedgehog just moments before he entered the 
make-shift arena. It immdediately attacked Sonic, throwing a 
weak slap to Sonic in the face.
	Sonic coughed and backed up as he reailized. "That thing's 
made of WATER!"
	If it's one thing Sonic couldn't stand, it's WATER. The 
monster attempted to slap Sonic again, but Sonic leaped up and 
curled into a ball, mainly to avoid the slap. He didn't know he 
was heading straight for its head...
	Sonic's spines connected to something soft and squishy in the 
head of the monster. When Sonic bounced away from it, he landed 
on his feet and saw it melting into a puddle. Sonic smirked and 
realized he found a weak spot in this seemingly unstopable 
monster. Sonic frowned when it reformed again. Sonic eyes 
something pink floating in its head, just behind its eyes. A 
brain.
	"Eeeeyuck! I hate water! Espeically water with a brain!" 
Sonic made a face.
	The thing started spinning in a circle, slapping its arms 
around him. Sonic leaped up above him and went into a spin-dash, 
and smacking right into its brain again. It melted into a puddle, 
slid a distance and reformed.
	"Care to try that agin, Ugly?" Sonic taunted. This creature 
decided to try something from a SAFE distance. It leaped up 
high onto one of the flag poles, and without warning, shot an 
arm out at Sonic. Direct hit in the face, Sonic slid a distance 
as the creature leaped from the flagpole to finish off the blue 
hedgehog.
	As a last minute decision, Sonic touched his medallion that 
he wore around his neck, and a gutair appeared in his hands.
	The creature never saw what hit him as Sonic made direct 
contact with its brain. The creature melted into a puddle, and 
didn't reform.
	Sonic looked to the others who were watching, then down 
to the puddle. "I'll play with you some other time!" he laughed, 
giving the thumbs up. A cheer started to arrise from the police, 
and from the news choptor. Sonic looked up, and waved to Shalita. 
Shalita waved back. "This is a turn of events!" Shalita cried, 
blowing a kiss to Sonic. "Prince Sonic has actually defeated the 
beast!"
	Suddenly, Shalita gave a yelp and pointed as the puddle 
started slithering away. Sonic, no longer afraid of it, ran after 
it. "Where you going, you big drip?" Sonic called out as the 
creature slipped into the sewer.
	Rain started to fall as the police started conducting a 
manhunt in the sewers for the creature. The chopper landed as 
Sonic ran over and picked up the chao, who finally stopped crying. 
Shalita ran to him and hugged Sonic. "I'm glad you're alright!" 
she smiled.
	"Aww...it wasn't much..." Sonic smiled, his gutair turning 
back into a medallion. "I thought you were heading home?"
	"I was, until I got a call from my boss to follow the 
police. Bane had already been called."
	Bane ran over to Sonic and shook Sonic's hand.
	"Congratulations, bud! You did SWELL out there!"
	"Yeah, let's get out this rain before I get soaked." Sonic said.
	As the 4 headed towards Station Square Hotel, a figure 
stood on top of City Hall, watching.
	"You know nothing, fool." he growled. "It's Chaos. The 
God of destruction."
	The man laughed as it continued to rain.
