Chapter 1



Please Read This!:

This fic takes place after SA2(:Battle), so ... just to tell you. Yeah. Here's a followup to back ya up on stuff that's in this story. Shadow is alive, and has joined Sonic and his friends to fight against Eggman/Robotnik. I'll call him Eggman in this story, OK? Only ... there's some tension between the black hedgehog and the red echidna ...

"Sonic, I just got word ... Eggman's launching another attack on Station Square," Miles 'Tails' Prower leant over his dozing friend.

"Huh? Snork – wha? OK ..." Sonic climbed out of the hammock tied up behind his and Tails' house. "OK ... call the guys."

Tails nodded, and reached into his ... back pocket?, pulling out a walkie talkie. "Knuckles, Sonic's ready ... Rouge is coming? Great ... No, don't worry. I'm sure we won't go and get Amy ..."

Sonic shook his head frantically, eyes wide. Tails laughed.

"Mighty's comin'? OK ... see ya, Knuckles," Tails lifted his thumb off the walkie talkie's speaker button, and the static left.

"What're ya waitin' for, then!?" Sonic stood, tapping his foot.

"^_^ Oh, nothing! C'mon!" Tails spun his helicopter-like appendages, and they sped off in the direction of Station Square's center.

While they sped down the street, a slim black hedgehog with red streaks on his quills crossed the road – and, needless to say –

CRASH!

Sonic rubbed his head where it had collided with the other's. "Ohhh ... man ... that's gonna leave a mark ..." he looked to see who he'd crashed into. "Shadow! Hey, sorry, man!" he bent down and put an outstretched hand to the friend.

Shadow smiled, shaking his head and tenderly touching a spot on his forehead. "Thanks ..." he got to his feet. "What were you speeding for, anyway? Wait – dumb question. Let me rephrase that. 'Where were you going?'"

Sonic thought for a second, apparently forgetting.

Tails sighed, smiling at his forgetful friend. "I was going to call you on the walkie talkie, Shadow ... but I forgot. Sorry! Eggman's preparing to attack Station Square – "

"Again?"

All three laughed at this comment.

"Yeah, yeah, again," Tails shrugged.

"He'll never learn ..." Sonic smiled, shaking his head. "Doesn't he know we'll just pulverize him like we always do?"

Shadow shrugged. "Well, you know how eggs are ..."

"O.o Riight ..."

Sonic and Tails, accompanied by Shadow, ran off in the direction of Station Square's center.
