Prologue

Endigo fiddled with the remote, trying to get it to work. However, he had no clue how to work it. Suddenly, his friend Funk grabbed it from him. "Endigo, it really isn't that hard to manage. You push green, circle, A, R7, blue, blue, red when you want the garage door to open. I really don't see why you can't remember that."

The fox frowned at the inventive echidna. "You know, I'm not exactly a super genius like you, Funk. My mind can't remember what song played at three o clock, seven months ago."

"I'm going to ignore that insult because you're my friend. Look, I'm sorry that you're not smart, but what do you expect to happen when you make a super universal remote to control everything in your house. Commands get complicated."

"Whatever. Could you just get the door open? I need to get into town and pick up some groceries."

"Yeah, one second." Funk quickly typed in the code, throwing the remote back to Endigo when he was finished. "Anyway, to start the ship, you press-" Endigo growled slightly. "Or, you could just press the ignition button hidden under the passenger's seat."

"Funk, I'll be gone a few hours, so could you try making the place a little less code activated while I'm gone."

"I'll see what I can do." as Endigo climbed into the dark blue bi-plane, similar to the Tornado, Funk made his way back into the house. Whenever anyone took off, the air was filled with sand as it was blown up by the take off. After the air settled, Funk made his way back outside. "It would probably only take a few days of intense study for him to figure it out. Oh well."

Funk was about to work on the wiring of the house, when he saw something far off in the desert. He blocked out the sun with his hand, squinting a little. He was able to make out a single figure, who was heading for the house. It was a black hedgehog, walking with his shoulders slouched and head hanging low.

"What the heck is that guy doing in the middle of the desert?" Funk began to run out to the hedgehog, his jet shoes activating. After a few seconds, he reached the lone figure. "Hey, are you alright, dude?"

The black hedgehog looked at Funk with bloodshot eyes. "M…Metal… betr…" before he could say anymore, he fainted. Funk caught him, looking him over. There were cuts and bruises all over his body, and Funk noticed his shoes were completely destroyed, wires going everywhere.

"This guy looks familiar. I know I've seen him somewhere before, but where?" the blue furred echidna shook off the feeling. "That doesn't matter right now. I should get this guy to the house until Endigo gets back. Then we can take him to the hospital in town." the echidna began to make his way back to the house, not realizing the eyes watching him.

Next: Desert Battle: Protecting Shadow

El knackered, hope you don't mind me using Funk again. ;)

Also, I could use a little help with characters. I need minions for the bad guy, Metal Sonic, and a girl character for the good guys. Please review if you've read. Hope you enjoyed!
