Amy was sitting in the living room of her apartment along with Tails and Cream. They were catching up on old times when all of a sudden part of the room was filled with a strange green aura, for a moment they thought Shadow would appear but instead Nite, Nack and an injured Spike with no Shadow appeared.
The three youngest members of the Sonic's friends looked at the Hunters dumbfounded, Amy was the first to talk.
"How did you guys do that?"
"Good question. Nite?" Nack, as well as the rest of the room turned to Nite who was currently lost in thought. It took him a moment to realise that everyone was looking at him.
"Huh? What? Is there something on my jacket?"
"Nite…" Spike had managed to pull himself to a standing position while leaning against the wall "how did you use Chaos Control?"
Nite turned to his friend, and then lowered his head. He honestly didn't know how, he wasn't sure if what was happening in his head was some kind of trick or if his urge to find out who he really was had finally driven him insane.
"I need some fresh air…Amy, could you give Spike a hand please?"
"Um…sure, Nite."
With that Nite left while the young pink hedgehog attended to the wounded porcupine.
Outside Nite sat on the bench next to the door. The streets were quiet as most people were still at their jobs so he didn't have to contend with the hustle and bustle of Station Square's population.
His mind was overflowing with information he didn't know he had and at present wished he didn't have. Most of it was new painful memories of a time long past, but smiled through the pain.
"Guess I'm older than I look"
His smile widened slightly, seeing as he now knew Gerald had something to do with his past that meant that GUN knew something about him and he was going to find out what.
With that thought now thoroughly in his mind he re-entered Amy's apartment to tell his friends where he was heading.
He was surprised to see everyone instantly turn to look at him as he entered.
"What?"
This time it was Tails who spoke first.
"Nite we want to know what's going on. You used Chaos Control after heading to Gerald's Base, we want to know how…we are your friends Nite we deserve that much"
Nite let out a sigh of defeat, he might as well tell them. They were his friends after all.
"Alright…you might want to sit down though…"
The wolf waited as they all did just that.
"Well…twenty years ago I woke up at Pumpkin Hill, I had to recollection of what had happened to me or why I was there, all I knew was my name and how to use my Bazooka and guns…I wanted to find out more about my past so I went searching for clues and found…well nothing…I stayed in Pumpkin Hill most of my life kind'a thinking that I must live there if I woke up there it wasn't exactly a quiet place what with all the treasure hunters and falling green rocks…after a while I met up with Nack and then Spike after a few…mishap adventures we formed the Hunters and I stopped thinking about my past…until lately…shortly after our first confrontation with…Streak…I started having these strange dreams…dreams that I'm guessing are memories from my past…but when I woke up I only remembered little titbits of information about the dream…and now Gerald showed up in them…so I decided that he must have something to do with my past and headed out to his base…while there I found a secret room with some kind of life support stuff in it and what I think was equipment used to create Sonic…while there some memories of my past returned…what I can place together is that Gerald created me…by accident…trying to create Sonic…"
They all looked at the wolf in amazement, they didn't know much about Sonic's creation so it was very much possible that there were various other stages before Gerald finally created the blue hedgehog.
Nite turned around, preparing to leave.
"I'm going to head off to Prison Island…if Gerald really was behind my life…then GUN should know something about it too…"
He was about to leave when Nack grabbed his wrist.
"Hold on mate, you can head there alone. Part ultimate life form or not they wont let you just waltz right on in there without an invitation…I'm going with you"
"Nack…" Nite was having problems holding his emotions back.
"I'm going with you! After all Spike is in no condition to help" came Amy's determined voice.
"Like hell I'm not…" he tried to stand up but instantly fell back into the chair in pain as it shot through his legs and hip.
"She's right mate" Nack turned to face his green injured friend "you should rest up for a while…"
"We don't wont you getting any worse on my behalf…" the emotion was still very obvious in the mysterious wolf's voice.
"It's settled then! I'm going with them and you can stay here until you're all better!" beamed the energetic female hedgehog "Cream can take care of you and I'll phone Big and ask him to come here and keep an eye on you" she grinned but soon frowned as the porcupine spoke up.
"I'm not staying here!" he protested.
"And why not?" Amy as a tad irritated.
"The whole place is pink!" he was quickly rewarded with a piko-piko hammer to the head knocking him out.
"So am I!"
Nack leaned over to his wolf friend and whispered.
"Remind me never to say I hate pink as well mate, I don't want that Sheila giving me a concussion too…"
The bounty hunter couldn't help but chuckle slightly at that.
Cream turned and smiled to the group sweetly.
"Don't worry about Mr. Spike, Mr. Big and myself will take extra good care of him"
"Thanks Cream" said the ever-smiling Nite "well lets get going"
"One sec, I need to phone Big" Amy walked over to the phone.
"But I wanna hurry" came the whiney vice of the older wolf.
The pink hedgehog frowned but smiled inwardly: He's a lot like Sonic in some ways…
OOO
Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik was working on his newest creation for GUN, a robotic humanoid wolf. He had been making peacekeeping machines for the government ever since Sonic had given his life to save the world from a mistake that he had made. His new life was boring yet gratifying, after all he really did enjoy building machines whether they were for himself or someone else.
"But why do they want a robotic copy of that Wolf?" he asked himself as he tinkered with the machine circuitry, wanting to make it perfect (he was a bit of a perfectionist) "Never mind one with speed close to Sonic's…it just doesn't make sense to me"
From his casual actions it seemed as though he wasn't paying much attention to what he was doing but to the trained eye it was very obvious that he was using every ounce of intelligence he had to work on this new creation.
"Perfect!" he yelled out as he closed the small hatch on the back of the metallic wolf's head, he left the wolf and walked over to another desk where he picked up a controller and smiled: "Wake up M-001 Metal Nite" with that he pressed the lone button and the lights that where the robot's eyes lit up green.
It spoke with a deep yet calm voice hardly seeming mechanical: "Number one objective: Destroy Nite the Wolf"
OOO
Meanwhile, unknown to all of the world a strange entity had managed to awaken deep down within Gerald's old base, a strange liquid metal form slowly lifting up form the ground and moulding itself into the image of a tall muscular man with a bald head and a moustache, his whole body silver in colour. He sneered evil as his red eyes opened and he spoke with an al to familiar voice:
"The death sentence for all humanity WILL be carried out"
He spoke with Gerald's voice.
