It was late at night in the village of Knothole, a small, treetop village in the heart of the Great Forest. In one of the tree houses the great Sonic the hedgehog slept. Sonic is a blue hedgehog who loved to run at the speed of sound whenever he could. Nearby Sonic's friend, Miles Prower was sitting up in bed. This small orange fox's two tails twitched nervously. Tails, to use his nickname, got out of bed and went to the window by Sonic's bed. While Sonic continued to snore Tails looked out the window Al he saw was the dark forest in the moonlight. All was quiet and normal.

Tails started to turn away from the window when something caught is eye. Tails squinted into the darkness. He saw a small black package. Tails shook Sonic awake and yelled, "Sonic! Wake Up!"

Sonic sat up slowly, shook his head, and said, "Huh Tails, what's up?"

"There is something strange outside!" Tails exclaimed.

Sonic yawned sleepily, "Its probably nothing Ta…"

At that moment there was an explosion outside. Sonic, now fully awake, jumped out of bed and ran out the door. The normally dark night was ablaze with fire! The dwelling on the next tree was ablaze! A high-pitched scream tore across the night. Someone was in there. Sonic quickly realized who was in there. Amy Rose was rapped inside her house and couldn't escape. The bridges to her house had been blown away. Another bomb exploded on the forest floor.

Sonic's tree started to sway. The explosion had destroyed part of the base of the tree Sonic's house was on. Sonic looked around, and there was only one place to go. Sonic took a running start and leapt onto Amy's tree house as his own toppled to the ground with an earth shattering roar. Sonic looked down toward the place where his tree had fallen. The hundreds of feet below him seemed carnivorous. Sonic turned back to Amy's house. He then ran into Amy's burning house. Part of the ceiling had collapsed! Now a fiery wall of wood had trapped Amy in the back room. "Help Sonic!" Amy cried.

Sonic span into action. He ran right towards the burning woodpile. Then he rolled up into a spiky, whirling ball. The quills on Sonic's back cut right through the wood. He came out the other side and uncurled. Cowering in the corner was a pink hedgehog with short quills and a red dress. Amy had her hands over her face and was crying in fear.

The heat was intense as Sonic made his way towards Amy. Another explosion went off and Amy's tree house started to shake. Amy looked up; her eye's full of tears, as Sonic reached her. Sonic grabbed Amy and pulled her towards the door. Out on Amy's balcony the situation looked hopeless. The doorway collapsed behind Sonic and Amy. Sonic looked around desperately for anything that could save Amy, but he looked in vain. Then a voice from above them called, "Sonic, I'll take Amy." Sonic looked up and saw Tails.

Tails flew in using his two Tails like a helicopter. Tails grabbed Amy and flew off as Amy's tree collapsed and started to fall. Sonic jumped off as the tree he was on fell down towards the forest floor. From Tails's arms Amy cried in a desperate tone, "Sonicccc…"

Right then there was an almighty boom and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky. Rain soon followed and a short time the great fire was out.
