Sonic is Dead?

A/N: DAMN ME!!!! WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!! Meh..I have to tell you guys that it hurt me to kill Sonic.After all he's the reason I'm writing this fic and drawing so much shitty fan art! Gr.There's got to be a way to bring him back!

Disclaimer: Once again I've been remise in my duties.I don't own Sonic nor the rest of the cast so far. Cept for Proton. Oh by the way his name's not actually Proton it's Photon. See it was like 4:00 in the morning when I was writing that and I didn't catch the error.Sorry.My bad!

Sonic watched as Knuckles tried to keep Tails away from him. "Why would Knuckles do that? Tails is my bud." Looking down Sonic realized that he was FLOATING? "What's going on here!" Glancing around the area Sonic saw himself laying on the ground. He was bloody and battered. His fur was still wet where Knuckles tears had dripped down the gruff Guardian's cheeks. "So I'm dead."

"No not yet. But soon." Sonic spun around and gazed on a strange being clad in white.

"Who are you?" Sonic asked not really wanting to hear the answer as deep in his mind he still refused to believe this was happening.

The being spoke again in kind caring tones. "I'm the Angel of Death. I'm here to see you off to your destination." Sonic looked fearfully at the being then grinned his famous smirk.

"Aren't you supposed to be a scythe wielding skeleton? If you are then you've gained weight. And flesh." The Angel sighed.

"You've always hidden behind that cavalier attitude Sonic. But you should realize that it won't work with me. I'm not Robotnik. I don't get angry because of some jeuvinile quips and that smirk of yours."

The smug grin slowly slipped from Sonic's face as he took this information in and processed it. Sighing he whispered. "I wish I could tell them goodbye one last time."

The Angel of Death shook his head and replied. "Don't they all."

Knuckles didn't dodge in time and the small two tailed fox slipped around him expecting to see Sonic hiding behind the Echidna or making funny faces at him. He stopped frozen at the sight of his best friend's battered body laying on the cool sands limbs akimbo and a slight smirk on it's still warm lips. "I-I" Tails crumpled up into a heap on the sands screaming curses at Shadow and Knuckles berating them for letting Sonic die. Finally his voice hoarse from the shouting and crying he asked in a small voice, "What will I do now Sonic? You're like a brother to me. My only family, who's gonna go test pilot my new plane or help me rescue people?"

Knuckles moved towards the small kit but stopped in surprise when Shadow crouched down beside the trembling kit's body and lifted his head up with the tips of his index and middle finger. Gazing into Tails eyes Shadow finally let his grief and sadness show in his eyes displaying the emotions that for fifty years he'd kept hidden and denied having. "We'll find a way to bring him back Tails. I promise you. That's twice he's saved me and I won't let him go without returning the favor."

Tails gazed into the now teary red eyes of Sonics former rival and hesitantly asked "How?"

Rouge glanced at the clock beside Amy's bed. 4:30 in the morning! I must have fallen asleep! Sleepily Rouge thought back on the strange phone call that she'd received from Knuckles a day earlier. Something about Shadow being alive and at the Master Emeralds shrine. What does that red buffoon think I was born yesterday! Rouge angrily thought as she gazed at the still sleeping form of Amy. But if he is alive.Rouge shook her head. At one point she thought she could love Shadow. Until she'd really met a certain Red Echidna. But Knuckles seemed to not know what to do with his feelings. Being cooped up on that Island certainly hasn't helped his social skills! She thought as she got up stretched and decided to look in the fridge for a light snack.

Elsewhere on a large flying airship a green hedgehog warped into being and dropped down on the decks metal grating making a slight metallic /ting/ as he landed. A small robot focused it's camera lense eyes on him. He let loose a slight blast of Chaos Energy and blasted the thing. God do I hate those things! Glancing around him to see if there were any other robots the green hedgehog walked to his room and sat down on the bed intent on getting a quick nap before his master called on him. "Get in here and report!" a gruff voice called over the intercom. He sighed. No use fighting the old bastard He thought as he wearily trudged up the hall and entered a small room filled with computer moniters and glowing hologram keyboards. In the middle of this web of technology sat the spider himself resplendent in an odd red coat with black pants that formed into boots. This strange man also had lenses for eyes. His balding head gleamed in the artificial light which also bounced off the goggles resting on top of the man's cranium.

"Tell me what happened."

With one last look at his now grieving friends Sonic prepared to enter the spirit world with his guide. "I'll miss them." Glancing at Shadow Sonic said firmly, "ALL of them." The Angel of Death nodded in a bored way and with a flick of it's wrist opened a portal to the next relm. Suddenly a strange watery being closed the portal and stood between Sonic and the Angel of Death. The Angel glanced at the creature then sighed.

"We gave you one. We can't give you any more!" The being simply glared at the Angel and flexed it's fists. "Fine. You can have him! But only for a short while! If his friends don't find a way to insert him back in his body in 96 hours he is ours. Understand." The creature nodded then looked at it's new charge. Sonic gasped.

"Chaos?"

A/N: Well then! Another great chapter comes to a close! I'd like to thank all the people who reviewed specially Formerly Known As for the first review I've ever received! Well as you can see Sonic's departure to the next realm has been postponed by none other than Chaos guardian of the Chao and all around kick ass water demon! Sonic's friends now have four days to get him back in his body but will Sonic be able to communicate this to them? And what part does the mysterious green hedgehog play in this little drama? And could that have been Dr. Robotnik he was reporting to? Oh come on you know it was! But why?
