I don't own Sonic, Robotnik, or any characher created by SEGA or Archie
When I introduce my own characters, I'll tell you who they are.
Now that this bull's out of the way....

Tragedy
Sonic's leg felt like it was on fire. He had been running through one of Robotnik's factorys, distracting SWATbots when it happened: it was like a giant hand hit him from behind, sending him flying. Then all he knew was pain. He could vaguely feel that he was being carried. Then a needle was jabbed into his arm, bringing oblivion.
Sonic was still hurting when he finally came to, though nowhere near as bad as he had been. His right leg hurt more than anything else. He opened his eyes to a hospital room and a very concerned looking Sally and Doc Quack.
"W-what happened?" Sonic asked after making two attempts.
"Robotnik has a new robot." Sally explained. "He calls it a Kamikazi bot. It's basically a giant bomb. One spotted you and detonated. We're not sure what they're made of but they're extremely powerful. There was no way you could have gotten away unscathed at the range it exploded."
"It was a miracle you got off as lightly as you did." Dr. Quack added. "You recieved some burns, a few lacerations, nothing broken, it seems that all of the serious damage was to your..." Sonic's leg throbbed.
"Hey, Doc, can I get a pain-killer or something?" the hedgehog interupted. "My leg's killing me." Dr. Quack hesitated. He and Sally looked at each other for a few moments. Finally, Sally nodded.
"I can give you something for the pain." Dr. Quack said. "There's very little I can do for your leg, however."
"What?" Sonic asked, not understanding.
"It's called 'phantom pains', I won't bother you with the medical terminology." Dr. Quack said. "Basically, it's where
the brain thinks it's receiving signals from body parts that aren't there." THAT hit Sonic like a ton of bricks. Before the others could stop him, he threw off the covers. The blue hedgehog couldn't believe what he saw, or rather, what he didn't see.
His right leg was missing, amputated above the knee.
"I'm sorry Sonic, there was nothing we could do to save it." Dr. Quack said. "It had been cut up by chunks of debree and severly burned by the explosion. The bones in your lower leg were broken in seven places. Your knee cap had shattered. I'm guessing that you landed on it when you hit the ground. We couldn't stop the bleeding. Much longer and you would have died. We didn't have a choice." Sonic just stared at them, his eyes wide.
"Dr. Quack, could you excuse us?" Sally asked. The doctor nodded and left the room. "Sonic?" Sonic didn't say anything for a while. Then, slowly, his expression changed. Not, to Sally's surprize, to one of loss and sorrow as she expected, but to one of determination.
"I'm not gonna let this stop me, Sal." Sonic said. "I'll run again. I just gotta figure out how to do it." Sally smiled sadly. She hoped he could hold on to that attitude, though she doubted it would last long.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" the princess asked as she stood to leave.
"Not reall...just a sec, could I borrow Nicole whenever you don't need her?"
"Nicole?" Sally asked, startled. "Umm, sure. Why?" She took the small supercomputer out of her vest pocket and handed it to Sonic.
"I wanna keep occupied." the hedgehog answered. "You knw, so I don't go crazy with bordom."
"Oh." Sally said. "Well, I'll see you later."
"What's up, my main hedgehog?" Sally heard Nicole say before she closed the door.
"I've got a lot to learn." Sonic told the computer. "The faster I do it, the better."

So what do you think? I know this is a little short, but I couldn't really help it. A short, to the point chapter seemed appropriate. Hopefully, later chapters will be longer.
Read, Review, Tell me what you think;
Is it pretty good, Or does it really stink?
Sorry, just had to get that out of my system. Serously, tell me what you think about it. I should be done with the next part in a day or two, so if you want to find out what happens next, you won't have to wait long. Till then, Caio.
When I introduce my own characters, I'll tell you who they are.
