Sonic Adventure 2—Tails POV

Chapter 1: Sonic in Prison? And a fake hedgehog? (Tails' Entrance-Prison Lane)

I always knew that Sonic and I were close. Almost like brothers. But I had yet to realize how deep our friendship was...

One day I was in my workshop working on a new machine. Well, not so much a new machine as a new version of an old machine. After I found the Tornado 2 crashed in the jungle, I returned and brought it to my workshop for some modifications. First, I removed the second pair of wings, making the jet less old-fashioned. Then I made another, far more complicated change. By adding a few moving parts to the design and a new button to the controls, I had given the Tornado the ability to transform into the Cyclone, a fully-functional semi-robotic piloted mech with a standard gun and homing missiles. I also added a car function. Probably not all that useful, but you never know when a little extra speed will come in handy.

I was just adding the last decal to the Cyclone when I heard a news report on TV. Sonic had been arrested for breaking into the bank and stealing a Chaos Emerald! Odd thing is, the hedgehog on the first video recording they showed—the video of the robbery itself—didn't look quite like Sonic. And it seemed that he was saying something like "revenge". The report also said that Sonic has currently being held at Prison Island. I'm coming Sonic!

With the Tornado's new engine, it only took me about a half-hour to cross the sea and reach the island. Then I saw a pink dot on one of the carriers near the island. Wait, that's not a pink dot! That's Amy! And Eggman was just behind her! Well, if it's a fight he's asking for, he's certainly found it. Tornado Transformation!

Eggman came prepared. He was in a mech of his own. "So you have another death machine that's doomed to fail?" I asked, referencing Eggman's past tools. "You like it?" he bragged. "Look at the new, improved Egg Walker! 500 percent smaller and more versatile than the original!" "Too bad the same can't be said about the pilot!" I replied, taking a whack at Sonic's own kind of stinging humor. "You'll pay for that!" he lashed back. So we started the battle.

He got off a quick first shot, but I dodged it, and then I answered that back with a shot of my own. I hit, and then the pattern repeated itself a few more times. I won!

"You may have taken the battle, but you will not win the war, I guarantee it!" That's what Eggman said as he walked away. Then Amy ran up to me.

"You saved me! But why are you here?" she said. I replied, "I came here to save Sonic, but why did you come? You're not even armed! You could have been hurt!" I should have seen her answer coming: "I knew it was dangerous, but I thought that if I rescued Sonic, I could finally convince him to marry me!" "Well if you want to see Sonic that badly, then follow me."

I dropped into the prison area of the carrier at that point, Amy close behind. The path looked pretty clear, and the robots could be used to test the homing missile function. I reached the center of the base when I saw Sonic's cell. I gave Amy the key card I'd found and let her do the talking. I should have known better. Sonic was pacing back and forth in his cell when Amy approached with the key card.

"Amy? Why are you here? How'd you get here?"

"Tails brought me here to bust you out. Why are you here?"

"It's that fake hedgehog. I think he said his name was Shadow."

As Sonic said that, he did some sort of odd interpretive dance-like maneuver that I still fail to understand to this day.

"I think I saw him before with Eggman..."

"Really? Where was he?"

"I'll tell, but only if you marry me!"

"Yeah, right! Just bust me out of here so I can find him."

"Ok, alright..."

She slid the card through a slot in a wall console and the cell opened.

"Thanks!" Sonic said before he sped off.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Amy yelled to him. But she was too late. Sonic was gone.

How's that? Please R&R, this is my first story. Flames are welcome because my basement (where the computer is) is very cold.
