After about a year here at Fanfiction.net, I've decided to step up to the next level in writing. All I've written so far are adaptations; The Boondock Saints, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, We Were Soldiers, and a failed fic called The Hit Man Chronicles. While laying awake past midnight on Sunday, I was flooded with inspiration and decided to stop with the script format, adaptations, and failed fics. That's where this fic comes in. I'm going to do the best I can with no Internet connection to post this fic (I'll have to go to the library a lot), updated whenever I please. Though I can't guarantee I'll finish this, I'm sure as hell going to try. So I'll do my best, and wish me luck. Without further adieu, let's get this thing rolling.

Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic and friends, all things not © me are © their respectful owners (i.e. Sonic belongs to Sega, duh.)

This story takes place in the present; it has no real connection to SA or SA2:B except for the fact that it involves Sonic and company and the President from the game. Constructive criticism is accepted and flamers will be deleted. Ok, now on with the show.

Good Evening Mr. President

By: PenPilot
Chopper blades cut thickly through the air as three helicopters flew in formation over Washington D.C. The group consisted of an AH-60 Black Hawk in the front, followed by a white and blue Huey with another Black Hawk bringing up the rear. In the center chopper was the President of the United States of America and his cabinet. They were returning from a trip to Camp David, where they had been discussing the current crisis concerning the rise of a mass group of American terrorists known as the Robotnik Imperial Army (RIA). They were supposedly well trained and under the control of a mad scientist known as Dr. Ivo Robotnik, Ph.D. He was a new threat, and the President was taking no chances. He had long since disposed of the secret service, feeling they were just a bunch of guys in suits obsessed with the well being of one man. That's where Sonic the Hedgehog and his fellow Delta operators had come in.

Sonic was 18 when he decided to join the service. He went to Ranger school, earned his tab, and volunteered for Delta force at 19. He had all the stuff required to be a Delta leader: attitude, brains, and brawn. He had been well trained in Task Force Ranger and was prepared to face the hardships of Delta training. He'd been accepted and left the Rangers to join Delta. He passed training with flying colors. Sonic rose quickly through the ranks to Master Sergeant, and became a respected member of Delta. He loved being a Delta boy, because of the fact they operated in secrecy and posed as normal civilians, they were treated like normal civilians. Army life was much laxer for Delta; Sonic was aloud to keep his blue quills nice and long, which was against normal Army regulations. They were trained to think and survive on their own, and thus they were left to their own devices much of the time. They trained regularly, as any elite group did, but otherwise lived life well. Sonic met and hooked up with Miles Prower, whom everyone called Tails because of the fact that he had two tails and Miles was a retarded name. The two hit it off, and made sure they were always stationed in the same place.

Tails was a nerd in school and never really had any friends. He left high school at 18 still unsure of what to do with his life. He decided to join the Army, where, inexplicably, he volunteered for Delta. Many of the guys thought he'd never make it through basic training, let alone Delta training. But Tails had always had a talent for mechanics and made it through, becoming a combat engineer. He was skilled in the use of the MP-5 machine gun and the 12 gauge combat shotgun. He could hotwire or fix anything with at least two wheels and an engine and could blow up any solid obstacle he had to, provided the right equipment. Tails and Sonic were always there for each other, whether picking each other up off the street in front of the local bar or helping one another through hard times. When the two had heard about the Secret Service being laid off and the call for Delta men to step forward to protect the most important man in the country, they'd jumped at the idea.

"Hey Sonic" Knuckles called over the roar of the choppers engines, "When we gonna be there?"

Born on the streets of L.A., Knuckles the Echidna was a streetwise kid with big knuckles and long quills who had been given two choices: jail time or army service. Knuckles had hastily chosen the latter, not wanting to meet that Bubba character his friends had told him about. He'd said a few heart felt goodbyes to his family and went off to basic training. He passed with some problems, due to his lack of willingness to take orders. He eventually swallowed his pride and rose to the rank of Sergeant before volunteering for Delta. He breezed through training but came out a changed man. He was now skilled in the use of the Squad Automatic Weapon (or SAW as it was affectionately called by the men), an automatic rifle that could be fired as long as the trigger was pulled. Knuckles loved Delta life, he could drive anything with two wheels and fire any heavy machinery he found plus he got to keep his dreadlocks. He cherished Delta life but when he learned there was more he could do by protecting the President he gladly signed up. "Ten minutes" Sonic called "Keep your pants on, for all our sakes." They both laughed and Sonic radioed over to the end helicopter. "Ten minutes ladies, get ready!"

"Hey, there're only two ladies over here, and one fine hedgehog." The voice belonged to Shadow, the team sniper.

As a kid Shadow had always been fascinated with the army, his father had been in the Rangers, as had his grandfather. But Shadow had wanted something more, something new and exciting. That's when he heard about Delta, the world's most elite fighters. He went through basic training and went straight to Delta training, where he passed with flying colors. He fell back into civilian life, training often and constantly trying to pick up chicks. His girlfriends never knew anything about his job, and they never asked. Shadow finished Delta school and took a sniper course, where he mastered the art of stalking, camouflage, and the use of the 30-06 semi-automatic sniper rifle. So accurate was his shot, he could hit a 9mm cartridge with open sights from 200 yards. He was as tall as Sonic with black fur, a white poof on his chest, and red stripes through his rigid quills. Like all the boys, he decided not to settle down or get into a serious relationship till later, but that was before they had signed up for this special job and met Rouge and Amy, the two ladies in the third chopper.

Rouge the Bat was a girl from New Jersey whose life went into a slump at 19, one year after graduation. She flunked out of college pretty quick, got pregnant three times, got three abortions, and ended up working in a topless bar trying to pay off her medical bills. She was filled out well in all the right places, and brought good business to the bars. She finally decided to join the Army, where she was changed forever. She became strong and skilled in fighting, and still attracted stares everywhere she went. She decided to go all the way and became one of the few female Rangers out there. When she applied for Delta school, all the guys nearly shit their pants, a female Delta operator? No way! Rouge made it through just fine and for a while wasn't accepted well in the largely male community. She eventually proved her worth when she beat down a guy who was trying to kill one of her drunken counterparts.

Amy Rose had known Rouge in school and had nearly forgotten all about her until they ran headlong into each other at the mall. They caught up on old times and Rouge suggested that Amy join Delta. Amy decided she might as well, seeing as how she was still living with her parents after a year out of high school and getting nowhere in college. She followed in Rouge's footsteps, eventually making it to Delta team where Rouge and the others, who decided a friend of Rouge was a friend of theirs, gladly welcomed her. Amy and Rouge had decided to volunteer when they heard about the protection job for the President, where they met Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow. Sonic and Amy hit it off, soon forming a deep love for each other. Shadow and Rouge got together but it didn't work out so Knuckles took over. Knuckles and Rouge were nearly inseparable afterwards. The six became friends and Delta SF was formed (Delta Special Force).

"Alright guys, we're going in! Hold on!" Sonic yelled as the Black Hawks dove down to the White House. They all flipped down their sunglasses and racked their weapons. The two choppers flared and hovered 3 feet above the White House lawn, allowing their camouflaged passengers in black Kevlar vests to jump out and scan the area. The choppers took off back to their hangars at the nearest base. They all scanned the lawn and radioed in on their headsets.

"This is Sonic, report, over."

"Knuckles here, all clear, over."

"This is Rouge, all clear, over."

"Shadow all clear, over."

"Tails here, all clear, over."

"Amy all clear, over." As the President's chopper landed they all stood at attention in two rows, three on each side. They saluted him as he walked by and followed him and his cabinet into the White House. Sonic and Tails walked on either side of the little group of politicians with everyone else behind them. This way they could watch all sides of the President, including the front, without obstructing his view. Once inside, the President turned to his protectors, saluted them, and told them they were invited to dinner in half an hour.

Sonic assigned Knuckles to guard the President's room while the rest of them went to their own rooms to shower and make themselves look decent. They had their own little condo in the backyard where they could get into the white house quickly if needed. It had originally been the living quarters of the former secret service, and the Delta operators arrived to find it nice and tidy. They promptly trashed it and turned it into their pad. Sonic and Amy shared a room upstairs next to Knuckles and Rouge. Tails was across the hall from Sonic and Amy and Shadow was across from Knuckles and Rouge. There were three bathrooms, one upstairs, one in Sonic and Amy's room and one downstairs. There was also a spacious kitchen where Amy and Rouge took the liberty of cooking for the boys when everyone wasn't eating out. That or they had T.V. dinners.

After a quick shower, Sonic put on some new fatigues, grabbed his black Kevlar vest, and relieved Knuckles of duty. Knuckles ran back to the condo and had to wait another 10 minutes before Rouge finished in the bathroom. He took a quick three minute shower, grabbed some new clothes, and rushed back out to the white house where everyone was getting ready to eat.

The President and his family sat down with Sonic and the others and began to eat. They talked about a few of the President's up coming trips, the terrorist threat, and the chopper ride home. "You know what we need, sir" Knuckles told the President in a sincere voice "a pioneer stereo system for those damned helicopters, it's annoying listening to those chopper engines." "Don't worry knuckles, I'll fly to Camp David next time" the President responded.

"So, what about this new terrorist threat sir?" Sonic asked. "I've got the CIA working on it. They say they haven't seen anything suspicious lately in the photos from the spy satellite," the President said.

After they finished eating, they all headed back to the condo, stripped off their fatigues, and watched T.V. After many arguments about whether or not The Animal (starring Rob Schneider) was really possible, they decided to go to bed.

Sonic walked out of the bathroom and lay down beside Amy, who rolled over and lay her head on his bare chest. She was soon in a deep sleep and Sonic was left to lay awake thinking about the threat of the RIA. "Could they be plotting an attack on the white house?" he thought to himself "They'd have to be crazy to try it, but if they caught us off guard." he shrugged the thought off and was just about to doze off when an explosion rocked the condo.

To Be Continued.

OK! First chapter done, I think I'll leave you guys in suspense. Please review.
