Cold Deceptions Ch.2

Second part on my story. Anyway, I dunno if Station Square is in Japan or not in the Sonic Adventure World. So I just put it there. Oh well. : P on with the story!

Chapter 2: First Encounter





He speeds down the deserted, dark alleyway, his mind set on one thing now. Running..Running faster. His shoes hitting the wet concrete with a "splashing" sound. The long blue quills that were on the back of his head blew in the wind. The being stopped when he reaches the end of the alley, staring at the almost empty streets. His gloved hands clenched slightly into fists. The blue, emerald green-eyed hedgehog, known as Sonic, made his famous, cocky grin when gazed upwards at the sky a little. He stood there for a few moments breathing in deeply as a cool breeze blew past. The recent storm had carried on, which he felt glad about. Sonic didn't really like water that much. He turned to his left and began to run down the sidewalk, evading the people that would have slammed into him if he hadn't watched where he was going. Sonic was a little bored, and other thoughts started to run through his mind.

"Maybe I'll visit Tails, today. I haven't seen him in a good while.." He spoke out loud.

He continues to think a bit longer, and also dodging the pedestrians when he made his mind up. Another grin came across his face and he jumped on top of a red car, and quickly jumped on the roof of a small building. He then started northward, heading for Station Square's train station. He grunts softly each time his feet landed on the roof tops, blinking every now and then. It didn't take him long to reach to the train station, and once he got there he back flipped off the nearest building, landing in the middle of the street with a soft thud. Unfortunately, Sonic didn't see a car coming from behind him, and it began to swerve, honking the horn furiously. His ears pricked up quickly, and he bolted off the street just in time. The only thing he heard was the driver's swearing.

"STUPID, FUCKIN, ANIMAL!! WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOIN'!!!"

"..Whoops..heh heh. Guess I'm a bit off today." he chuckles nervously, scratching his head with a goofy grin on his face.

Sonic turned around and began to walk up the stairs to the train station. A small smile creased along his muzzle, and his ears twitching a bit. He jumped on the train that was on the way to the Mystic Ruins. Sonic moved along the crowd, sometimes rudely pushed by people looking for a seat. He simply grunted gently, and continued to move downward in the train. He found an empty spot next to some other girl, which he quickly took before someone else could. He smiled a bit proudly, and relaxed in his seat. Then, he glanced at the girl a few long times. She had gray fur, rather large ears, three earrings on each one, piercing, emerald green eyes just like his, a very slender form, and golden blonde hair with black bangs in the front. What confused him though is that she looks something like a wolf, but she had quills in the back of her head, hedgehog quills. The girl felt eyes watching her, and she slowly turned to Sonic, their gaze locking into each other. She blinks a few times, and then just growls softly at him.

"What are YOU looking at?" Melissa growled, whom it was she, Sonic had been staring at for the last five minutes or so.

"Nothing.." he replied

"Then stop staring at me, ya creep!" She spats at him. Melissa gets up with her ears flattened to the back of her head, and walked away, but not without giving Sonic a swat on the face with her tail.

"Ack! Hey!! Sheesh...guess people can't stare at each other anymore.." Sonic retorted quietly.

His ears pricked up gently as the train stopped at the Mystic Ruins. The blue hedgehog simply got up in a huff, and pushed his way out of the exit. Sonic dusted himself off, and looked at his new surroundings. A bit of dirt, and some green vegetation, with a lake at the bottom of a waterfall. He looked to his right looking at the workshop that was owned by his two tailed fox friend, Tails. The hedgehog began to walk down the wooden stairs just as soon as the train began to pull out. He thought about Melissa for a few moments, wondering who she was. Sonic simply shrugged and got her out of his mind when he reached the bottom of the stairs. A few seconds later he sped off to the side of the Mystic Ruins, near the cave where a Chao Garden resides. He ran up the stairs, almost tripping once around the middle. He slowed down when he reached to Tail's workshop, a small smirk coming across his muzzle when he found his bud tinkering at the Tornado 2's engine.

"Hey Tails!"

Tails quickly lifted his head, but he accidentally hit the roof of the plane, "Ouch! Hey Sonic!" Tails waved to his hedgehog friend. Unfortunately for Sonic, Amy was there as well, visiting Tails so it seemed. The pink hedgehog in the red dress walked from the side of the plane, seeing the blue hedgehog smiling at Tails. Her heart pounded as she simply squeals out.

"SONIKKU!!"

"Huh?...oh no.." Sonic groaned finding Amy that he was now in her sights. "Er..Amy.." He said as he began to back away a few steps.

Amy quickly runs over to him with her arms wide open, as if she was going to hug him. Sonic was about to turn and run, but he slipped on a rock, and fell onto his back with a startled yell. Amy jumps right on him, giving him a tight embrace. Her cheeks flushed a slight hue of pink, as she continues to hug him. Sonic laughs nervously and stands back up, while helping his friend up to her feet. He gently pried her arms off of him and ran to Tails by the Tornado 2, leaving Amy at the small clearing behind Tails's workshop. She only followed him anyway.

"So how's it going, Tails? Did you work all of the bugs out of the plane yet?" He asked, canting his head to the side a little.

"Almost, Sonic. The plane is still flying pretty well, but it still malfunctions every now and then. Oh! I found this letter from Eggman when I went to check out the Egg Carrier," Tails replied, handing Sonic the letter. Sonic blinked, and began to read the letter quietly.

"You may think you have won, you anthropomorphic pests! The battle may have gone to you, but the war is far from over! I have something else up my sleeve, and it's even more deadly than Chaos! Watch your back, Sonic! It will be coming for you, and your annoying little friends! Ha Ha Ha!"

"Oooh! Sounds like Eggman is up to no good again!" Amy exclaimed, she had been reading letter as well.

"Yeah, Sonic. This doesn't look good. What should we do now?"

"Ah, don't sweat it Tails. Anything Eggman throws at us, we can send it flying right back at him!" Sonic grinned, crumpling the paper up and throwing it behind him.

"Well, if you say so, Sonic, but I think we should still stay on our guard," Tails said, rubbing his chin.

Sonic agreed with a slight nod from his head. Tails, Amy, and Sonic went inside his workshop, catching up on old times really. Amy continued clinging onto Sonic the whole time, while he was trying to pry her off. Later in the afternoon, Sonic said his good-byes to his friends, heading back for the train. Amy whined a little when she saw him run off, then she pouts, watching Tails work on the engine of the Tornado 2 again.

"Why does he always do that!? Sonic runs off whenever I want to spend time with him!"

"Well, you can't blame him. You can get really pushy sometimes" Tails chuckled

"Hey! I am not pushy!" She shouts in protest. Tails just laughed and continued to work on the engine.

Sonic was now on the train in the same seat was sitting on when he first arrived at the Mystic Ruins. He looked about the train, people talking, shoving, and standing. He started to think about the threatening letter Tails had found on the Egg Carrier, and just grinned.

"No sweat, I'm sure I can defeat whatever that giant talking egg can throw at me," he thought as he relaxed more in his seat. The hedgehog simply closed his eyes, but he continued to think what Eggman was going to do this time. He didn't get much time to let his thoughts run through his mind, because five to ten minutes later, the train had arrived back at Station Square. Sonic quickly opened his eyes, and pushed his way out of the train. He ran down the stairs, and into the side exit, heading for the Casino. He quickly stopped when he heard a young woman's scream in an alleyway, and sped off in that direction. Sonic stopped when he sees a human teenager being held in the air by her neck.

"Hey!! What the hell do you think you're doing!?" Sonic shouted and tackled the girl's attacker. He watched the girl landed on the ground with a thud, but she quickly got up and ran off. The attacker pushed Sonic off of her, and she lets out a threatening snarl. He stumbles back only to have his emerald green eyes locked onto another pair of the same colored eyes. The hedgehog blinked a couple of times to see that his opponent was that same girl he had seen on the train, Melissa, the wolf-hedgehog hybrid.

"YOU!!" They both exclaimed, and pointing their index fingers at one another.

"What the hell did you do that for!?" She screams at him holding onto the handle of her sword.

"Oh yeah. Like I'm really going to let someone kill another person for some unknown reason" Sonic replied with his hands clenched into fists.

Melissa snarled angrily at him, and came charging forward with her claws extended from her fingers. Sonic simply grinned and jumped in the air before she came within striking range. The female hybrid quickly stopped running and looked upwards. She grunted softly when he landed next to her. She charged forth again and began to deliver some savage, yet quick punches at Sonic. He simply dodged most of them, and blocked the others with his arms and fists. He grinned again, finding this a bit amusing for a while.

"Ha! Can't get any punches in? Aww! Keep trying!" Sonic taunted her as he continued to block her punches.

"We'll see how you'll laugh when I get through with you!" Melissa exclaimed and swiped one of her feet at his legs when she momentarily stopped punching. Sonic suddenly tripped when she swiped her feet at him, and landing on his back with a thud. He quickly stood back up, only to find himself flying backwards when Melissa performed a perfect roundhouse kick right in his jaw. Sonic crashed into some empty trashcans, which clanged loudly when they toppled over. The hedgehog groaned slightly, and rubbed his head as he stood back up. He blinked to find his opponent gone, but his ears twitched when he heard footsteps coming from behind. He quickly turned around and caught Melissa's fist before it could collide into his face. She growled angrily at him, and swiped her other fist at him, which he caught in his other hand. Sonic grinned slightly at her, and slammed her into one of the walls. He kept her there, his grip on her a bit tighter when he began to struggle.

"Let me go, God Damnit!" she shouts at him.

"No! Not until you calm down!" he replied to her, gripping a little bit tighter.

Melissa struggles for a bit longer, but seeing, as she couldn't get out of his grasp, she stopped. Her eyes locked onto his again with a cold, hateful look. Sonic returned a more calmer, yet firm look at her.

"Now, why did you tried to kill that girl earlier?" He asked her.

"..None of your business, hedgehog," she replied.

"If you don't tell me now, I won't let you go."

".Fuckin humans overrun this planet, I wanted to make it one human less.." she said softly.

"What?? Wait, why do you dislike the humans? They aren't all bad."

"They're just selfish, filthy creatures. Anyways, it's none of your business why I dislike them," She said as she lifts her foot to his stomach, and pushes him away, forcing him to let go of her. Sonic stumbles backwards but he didn't fall. He gently rubbed his stomach, and stared at Melissa again, and she simply stared back.

".Who are you, anyway?" Melissa asked him quietly.

"What? You haven't heard of me? I'm Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! The fastest living thing on two feet!" Sonic said proudly. He winked at her and then asked her, "And what might your name be, babe?"

".Melissa.and DON'T CALL ME BABE!!" She shouts angrily at him.

"Whoa! Whoa! Take it easy! I was just kidding!" He replies nervously.

Melissa just huffed at him, and began to walk deeper into the alley. Sonic blinked as he watches her. He started thinking about following her, but he changed his mind. He walked out of the alley, but not before looking back at her, which she was almost out of sight.

"Cute girl, but I wonder what's her problem with humans?" He wondered, and began to head to the Casino again, with even more thoughts on his mind now. Little did Sonic, or Melissa know, that someone had been watching their little encounter on top of one of the roofs. He simply grinned as he rubs his chin.

"She will be the perfect weapon for Sonic's undoing," The man chuckled evilly.
