Disclaimer: I unfortunately don't own any of the characters used in this story.

I wrote this story out of happiness that I finally got all of the "A" emblems in Sonic Heroes, so you can expect to see most of the characters from there later in this fan fiction. This is my first ever fan fiction so please don't be too rough when you review, however please feel free to review. Thank you.

Chapter 1

It was a hot summer morning in the Mystic Ruins that day. The sun's rays had gently landed on the roof of a building. The building was better known as Tails' workshop which he would frequently visit whenever he wasn't on an adventure with one of his friends.

The sun was at an angle that one its golden rays had shined through a window leading to the young fox's bedroom and landed directly upon his face as he laid in his bed. Tails woke up with a healthy yawn and stretched his arms to greet the day. He then looked at his calendar which was on the adjacent wall and noticed a circle at the end of the current week.

"Oh wow, only six days left!." he exclaimed in joy. "I've got to go find everybody make sure that they're all ready for the big day this weekend."

Tails knew that he would need help in order to get in touch with everybody and automatically thought of asking Sonic first. He washed up in his bathroom as quickly as he could and then quickly dashed out the door. At that moment he remembered that Sonic was supposed to meet him in the Mystic Ruins to hang out like they usually do. Tails stopped just a few feet from his front door and decided to wait for him.

Several hours passed from that moment and Tails was getting worried. He knew that Sonic wasn't the most punctual person in the world, but he also knew that it wouldn't take the fastest hedgehog in the world this long to come from Station Square.

"Where could he be?" Tails wondered as he ran down the long staircase from his mountaintop workshop. "He may be irresponsible sometimes, but he's never this careless when he makes a promise."

At the bottom of the stairs Tails saw something that made his stop in his tracks. He saw what appeared to be several dozen footprints that were placed by someone moving very quickly and several laser burns in the ground surrounding them.

Tails knew the sign of a struggle when he saw one. The footprints and laser burns were faint and a least a couple of hours old, so they might have been made that morning while he was sleeping. He knew he was a heavy sleeper but was still amazed at how he could have missed something like this. He quickly ran over to the nearby train which was heading towards Station Square. In his haste, he accidentally tripped over something that was protruding out of the ground. He turned around and saw a glow from where he had tripped.

The light was faint, but it was unmistakable. He'd know that light anywhere. He quickly dug around the glowing object and discovered the yellow chaos emerald!

"Wow, how did one of these things get buried in here and why was it left halfway through the ground?" Tails asked. He picked up the emerald and decided to ask questions later as he barely made it through the train door before it closed.

When Tails arrived in station square, he went to all of Sonic's favorite hangouts in hopes that his theory of what happened in the Mystic Ruins was wrong. Tails nervously went from one place to another asking if anyone had seen Sonic around. His search was in vain because nobody had seen Sonic that day.

This series of events proved that Tails was indeed right about happened in the Mystic Ruins this morning. Sonic must have been there but was attacked by one of Dr. Eggman's robots and possibly taken hostage in order to take the chaos emerald that Tails found in the ground today.
"That's it!" Tails thought. "Sonic must have buried the emerald so that Eggman wouldn't find it and then tried to lead the robot away, but got captured in the process!"

"I've got to save him!" Tails shouted as he made a quick turn around a street corner. After Tails had completed his turn, he accidentally crashed into the back of somebody. The force of the crash had knocked him on his back.

"Ow, that smarts." he said in a frustrated tone. He looked up at the person he crashed into in order to apologize.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see where I was going and I...." He got a closer look at who he had crashed into and suddenly became a lot more timid than usual. "Uh-oh, this just isn't my day."

Tails realized he might in a lot more trouble than he thought.
