Notes: Right before I write another chapter, I usually re-read or skim
through the previous one to make sure what happened last is fresh in my
mind. Well... this makes it very apparent that Spell check won't notice when
you're an idiot. Oh sure, it tells you when the word is spelled wrong. But
it doesn't let you know when you use the WRONG ONE. Obvious reason for
checking your work. Anyway, I want to apologize for all the "form"s that
meant "from". I'm just kind of... well... yea, lazy. Also I usually write these
about 30 minutes before I get online and upload them, and so if I do
proofread it, it's usually so fresh in my mind that I remember what I
wrote, and I don't notice the incorrect word because I know what's
"supposed" to be there. Oh well, hope you all are enjoying! John Kelly

The sky shone deep purple as the sun was rising in the distance, the black navy of the ocean shimmering streaks of orange. The Blue Hedgehog's eyes where narrowed from the blasts of wind as the Tornado II streaked through the air, the Orange Fox piloting the plane staring ahead, watching for signs of land.
"So... it looked like me?" Sonic yelled out, breaking the verbal silence in the defining roar of air.
Nodding slowly, Miles looked down at the Ocean before responding. "Yea, it looked a lot like you." Sonic looked down at the water slowly moving past far below.
"Well... it sure as hell WASN'T me." Sonic yelled, looking ahead once more.
Miles snorted slightly, "That much I was sure of. But... I don't understand... Sonic, who was it?" Miles arched a brow and looked back over his shoulder. Looking into the Fox's eyes, Sonic shrugged.
"... It doesn't make any sense..." Sonic's eyes suddenly filled with an expression of someone who had seen a ghost, and Miles' eyes widened. "Unless..." Sonic muttered, and Miles turned back, hitting the thrust and propelling the Tornado II forward.
Lights blinked on in the cold dark depths of the hallways, the walls lined with Egyptian hieroglyphics and gold designs. The large metal door shuddered before sliding open, and the Man Clad in Red stepped through, eyeing the room through black spectacles. A large flash of blue sparks shot out from the wall, and Eggman blinked, noting the huge amount of damage that was apparent. "What in the heck...?" he arched a brow, striding over and tapping the keypad on the corresponding blast door.
As the door slid open, the attempts of the lights to turn on where only successful in throwing large amounts of sparks from the ceiling. Raising an arm and shielding himself, Eggman crouched slightly as he slowly walked in, stepping over fallen ducts and computers. Looking to the wall, he saw the enormous line of large neon-green glass tubes lined against the wall. Blinking, Eggman saw the shattered glass of two of the green tubes; nothing remained inside. Eyeing the room, other tubes where broken as well, but robot units remained; some ripped to shreds.
His eyes widening, Eggman stepped back, his back becoming straight as he stared in horror. "My God..." he mouthed, sweat trickling down the side of his face as he turned and raced out of the room.
The Red Echidna's eyes where closed and his teeth gritted as he groaned, the cold searing wind slicing at him. He had his right arm held in front of his face to protect himself as he glided through the storm of snow and ice. "Damn it all!" Knuckles cursed out, wincing and opening his eyes. "Who would've thought I'd run into such a storm at this time...?" Punching forward, he continued onward, his entire body numb from the cold.
Glancing down through the black clouds, Knuckles could barely make out the soft, dark outlines of the mountains below, their entire monstrous bodies covered in the soft white of snow. The clouds above parted slightly and a brilliant blast of light shone through, causing Knuckles to shut his eyes and lose control for a moment. Cursing and beginning to tumble through the air, Knuckles decided, and with a downward punch, he accelerated through the clouds towards the frigid plains below.
Letting out a loud curse and slapping her hand on the top frame of the windshield, the White Bat pulled her goggles up onto her forehead and made a rude gesture with her hand. "Get The Hell Out of My Way!!" Rouge screamed, jamming her palm on the horn of her sports car, which was sitting dead-still in traffic. "Fucking Los Angeles, You People Can't Drive Worth Crap!!" Rouge fell back down into the driver's seat and closed her eyes, groaning and throwing her head back. "I could've been there by now if it wasn't for this..." Moaning loudly, Rouge threw herself forward and laid her head on the steering wheel.
The cold of the night touched the dusty plains as dust began to whip up, traveling in a line as it picked up speed, lose dirt being thrown away as the Tornado II lost altitude and leveled out a few feet above the ground. With a nod, Miles waved, and Sonic jumped out, his feet taking off as he hit the ground. Sonic dropped back before he kicked in full-throttle and shot forward, his speed matching the Tornado II as it banked to the side and took off into the cold morning air. Sonic leaned forward, threw his arms back, and shot off across the plains.
Staring forward, Sonic tossed his head to get rid of dirt. "I'll start with Sydney... maybe someone at least SAW where it went, if not knows where it is." Gritting his teeth, Sonic sped up even more. "And if I'm right... that son of a bitch never changed at all..." Growling, Sonic jumped over a log and continued on his path towards the twinkling lights of the city in the far distance. "Well, I'll be damned if I let you win, Shadow."
