Tails and Amy landed on the radio tree house in Knothole. The wet rain made them cold and Tails's wet fur made it hard for him to fly. Inside the tree house they found Sonic. Amy, soaking wet, hugged Sonic, "Sonic how did you survive?"
Sonic pulled himself free from Amy's wet grip, "I jumped but that is unimportant now. I was listening to the news on the radio when it suddenly went silent, just static. Could you look at it Tails?"
Tails, who was trying his fur off, said, "I don't see how it could be broken, I fixed it last night. We should probably go to Neo City. I'll go get the Cyclone!"
Tails left the room and flew to the hanger. Inside Tails chook his fur dry again and turned on the lights. In the middle of the hanger stood Tail's plane, the Cyclone. The Cyclone is a blue jet plane. About seven feet long, the Cyclone has only one seat and an open cockpit. Tails climbed into the cockpit and warmed up the engine. The giant hanger doors opened, as the Cyclone got ready to launch. The engine roared as Tails blasted out of the hanger.
Tails flew the Cyclone by the radio tree house. As he flew by Sonic and Amy jumped onto the wing. They held on tight as Tails flew the Cyclone out of the top of the forest and headed towards Neo City.
After Flying for about an hour Sonic saw the city on the horizon. "Cya later guys," Sonic yelled as he jumped of the Cyclone, landed on the ground, and ran off using his super fast feet. "Oh Sonic," Amy sighed as she watched him disappear into the distance.
The landscape was whizzing past as Sonic ran at speeds of 100 miles per hour. In no time flat Sonic had reached Neo City. However the city wasn't a city anymore. Neo City had been completely destroyed. Sonic looked around as it continued to rain. Smoke was coming from the near-collapse buildings, the only ones left standing. The rest of the buildings were rubble.
Sonic slowly strolled down the debris filled street, looking everywhere. There was no one left alive. In fact it was all Sonic could do to not burst into tears at the sight that he saw. Amongst all the rubble of the buildings and vehicles there were the bodies of those who had died. The whole town was now a grave of bodies. There were more then just dead people; Neo City had been a home to all kinds of residents. The bodies of dogs, foxes, and hedgehogs also littered the area; several had been Sonic's friends. Sonic walked on as it continued to rain.
As Sonic was getting ready to leave he spotted someone he recognized. Sonic switched from walking to running as he zipped over to a purple, female hedgehog. Sonic couldn't hold his tears back anymore as he reached the body of Sonia, his sister. There was a loud thud as the cyclone landed nearby and Tails and Amy got off. Amy ran over to Sonic and spotted Sonia. "Oh Sonic," Amy said while crying.
The grief on Sonic's face was too unbearable to Tails, who turned away. Sonic held Sonia and looked into her lifeless face, once so full of life and energy. Tears poured down Sonic's face as he held his sister's body close to him. As the rain continued to fall and lightning flashed, Sonic closed his eyes and asked, "Why?" For about a minute Sonic sat, unmoving, as he held his sister.
All of a sudden Sonic's eye's snapped open. He looked straight at Sonia. He put his hand on her wrist; Sonic felt something moving, a pulse! Sonic looked up and shouted, "She's alive!" Sonic stood up and carefully picked up his sister. There was and ear-splitting sonic boom as Sonic took off towards the station square hospital at the speed of sound. Tails and Amy stood where there, dripping wet, in the rain. Both of them had a smile on their face.
