Chapter 4: The truth

Sonic & Knuckles walked together to Station Square. Sonic about to break into a run, but Knuckles stopped him.

"You don't people to miss you now do ya?" Knuckles said.

Sonic laughed.

A boy and girl were playing in the street when a truck came at them, but Sonic used his speed to get the two out of the way.

"Hey kids, no running in the streets." Said Sonic.

"Yes sir."

Soon the people of Station Square took notice.

"Is that Sonic?"

"Wasn't he dead?"

Sonic smirked. "Don't worry people I won't die."

Tails came flying soon after to the spot.

"So… Sonic? " Asked Tails, rubbing his eyes.

"Hey little bro." Said Sonic.

Tails broke down into tears and began hugging Sonic, while Sonic just rubbed his head.

"Jeez, you must've really missed me." He said.

"No kidding."

But soon, Amy tackled Sonic.

"Oh, Sonic. I knew you weren't dead! I knew it!"

Sonic chuckled to himself, and then asked for help.

Shadow couldn't believe what he had seen on the disc, the truth behind 50 years ago. Rouge found him standing on the rooftops.

"Sonic is alive, don't you know?"

"Of course, I was there when he revealed himself."

"Shadow, what's wrong?"

"What?"

"You seem depressed…."

"No, it's not that… Oh, fine I'll tell you…"

…………………

Later after that, the monument of Sonic was taken down at his request.

"I don't need one right now."

"I guess you don't." said the mayor of Station Square, smiling. "Just don't get killed again."

"Not for a long time."

5 hours later, Sonic was at Amy's apartment as she fixed him up a welcome back meal.

"Sonic, I can't tell you how happy I am to see you."

"Yeah, yeah." Said Sonic, shrugging.

What am I doing here? he thought.

Amy happily prepared the food. Then as she added the finishing touches, she sat it in front of Sonic.

"It's called a chili dog, I hope you like it."

"A chili dog? What the hell is a chili dog?" asked Sonic.

"Try it you might like it, I'm gonna take a shower."

Amy started walking into the bathroom. But she took one look at Sonic.

"Don't even think of leaving."

"Gotcha."

Amy closed the door.

Sonic looked at the chilidog uncertainly, and then took a small bite, and then he just sat there mesmerized.

"This is the greatest food ever."

Amy took off her dress and was about to step in the shower.

Sonic knocked on the door.

"Amy, can you make another chilidog? That was good."

"Sonic, not now after I take my shower."

But Sonic had not known Amy was naked and opened the door, which Amy left unlocked.

"Oh god." Sonic stood for a second.

Amy covered herself; Sonic quickly shut the door as she screamed.

"Um, what should I do now."

Sonic thought of the possibilities he could only think of one, that Amy was going to attack with her hammer. So he quickly ran out.

But Amy had different thoughts.

"Oh, Sonic you want to go straight to that huh?" she said blushing, she opened the door.

"Well here I… huh?"

Sonic was gone.

"SONIC YOU MORON!"

Amy quickly got her dress on and got her hammer.

Sonic ran out.

"Oh man…"

Amy was seen running after Sonic, her hammer in hand.

"Oh god no." said Sonic as he ran off. "I should've stayed dead. Amy, I'm sorry I saw you naked."

"You ran off! How could you run off like that?"

But soon, both stopped in their tracks when they saw Shadow standing in front of them.

"Hello Sonic, trouble with the girl?"

"No…" Sonic started, but then Amy said.

"What are you doing here Shadow?"

"I come on news about Sonic and I. Sonic, the reason Space Colony ARK exploded was because I tried to access more information about Gerald, but he was so protective, he tried to kill those who took. Rouge and I barely got the disc and got away alive."

"Uh-huh." Said Sonic, "what does this have to with me?"

"Well, the disc told me a experiment made by Gerald around the time he was developing me. He said he was making one hedgehog for war under the government's orders, that was me, but he figured that if I was to become too powerful he would have to develop one to stop me in case, using the some of the funding he became development on another Ultimate Life form with the same ability to harness the Chaos Emeralds power. Using some of my DNA he used to make another equal to me in a lot of ways, unfortunately he never got around to finishing the project as he met his demise soon after the ARK was shut down. The interesting thing was the name of the project. It was codenamed: SONIC."

Sonic stood there shocked, his eyes began to bug as Shadow continued.

"I do not know who finished you Sonic. But Gerald used the same designs and DNA to make you as he did me so in that sense Sonic, actually Gerald even said so himself, you and I are brothers."
