Before I begin the story, it appears that Dr Robotnik's name has changed from when I knew it to Eggman. In this Fan-Fic, I will call him Robotnik. This story takes place after Sonic and Knuckles, but before Sonic X. Also, I did not know of any of the characters introduced after Knuckles. Therefore, I will not mention Amy, Rouge, Cream, Big, or any of Team Choatix. This doesn't include Shadow, however…

A short story thought up by me. If any body sees anything similar to what they have written, don't blame me as I have not read any Fan Fictions except for one Teen Titans one.

Disclaimer: I Do not own any of the characters from any of the Sonic games, Comics, or Series.

E-95Σ's Awakening

Scanning Perimeter……………Done

Chronometer activated.

Scanning Moving Parts………………Done

Scanning Internal Memory……………Done

Opening Containment Chamber………Done

The robot awakened…. And it had no idea why. It searched for its name. Its name was E-95Σ. (The symbol is the Greek letter Sigma)

It moved about the cave. It seemed that whoever had been here, had packed up and moved, but had left the robot and his 'room' behind. Whether he got left behind accidentally or not, he went to go find his master.

Outside the light almost blinded him, but his visual sensors soon adjusted. He walked over to what appeared to be a partially destroyed robot. It appeared to have several small punctures in it, like a load of spikes had hit it from above. It looked at him, and sent out a radio signal to who knows where. E-95 walked onwards as the robot lost its small spark of life. It appeared that there were tracks from a distinct style of shoe all over the place. It scanned its memory banks for any people who wore this type of shoe. It belonged to Sonic the Hedgehog……

E-95Σ's History.

Sigma, as he decided to call himself, looked around for more clues. He spotted some orange fur caught on a fence. And another robot had two small holes in its forehead. It appeared that Sonic had not been the only one to have traipsed around the place. He searched his memory banks and found that the orange fur belonged to Tails the Fox, and the small holes must have been made by Knuckles the Echidna. Sigma walked out a broken part of the fence, and headed for the middle of the island.

While walking, Sigma decided to see if he could find out his history from his memory… It appeared he had been created by this fellow called Robotnik after another humiliating defeat at the hands of Sonic. He had been the first of many in a series to defeat Sonic. It appeared that Robotnik had thought him not good enough to be the final model and had locked him away before he could even face Sonic. He decided that he would find this "Robotnik" after he had defeated Sonic, and show him how powerful he had really become………

E-95Σ's Discovery

Sigma walked towards the clearing. It appeared that nobody was there. Sigma walked around the perimeter. It saw Tails. It went and hid behind a large boulder. Out of a nearby cave came Sonic.

"Sonic, do we have to do this? It seems wrong to go and provoke Knuckles again and fight him just so we can train." said Tails.

"Well, there isn't anybody else to fight now, is there?" said Sonic

"You could just fight me, and we could train that way."

"But that wouldn't be as much fun now, would it?"

"Sonic…"

"Don't argue with me Tails. Knuckles is the best fighter around here… except for me, of course."

"Sonic, wait! I thought I heard movement from somewhere near us!"

"I don't care. I am going to Knuckles and you can't stop me."

"But Son-"

"No buts! I am going to fight Knuckles now wether you like it or not!"

E-95Σ Learns

Sonic walked up the hill, alone, to Knuckles cave. 'Stupid Tails.' Sonic thought to him self 'When is he going to realise that, to eventually defeat Robotnik for good, we have to get better.'

Knuckles was outside his house, throwing boulders around. Sonic sneaked up behind him, and booted him off the edge of the rock he was standing on.

"Oh, so you want a little training, hey?" Knuckles yelled as he stood up, "Don't expect me to go easy on you!" He then picked up a boulder, and threw it at Sonic. Sonic easily dodged, ran past Knuckles, got a good hit in, and kept running. He ran up a wall, changed direction as a boulder was about to hit him, and then ran back down again towards Knuckles. Knuckles was expecting this, however, and sidestepped. He held his arm out and Sonic ran into it. As Sonic lay on the ground, Knuckles said "I have gotten heaps better since we last fought. By the way, where is Tails? He said he was going to come here today and fix up my tele-" Knuckles wasn't expecting Sonic to get up and hit him, but he recovered easily. They kept at this for a good two hours, and then went into Knuckles cave to rest.

Sigma had seen the whole battle, and had recorded their attack patterns. 'This upcoming battle should take me approximately 5 minutes in total' he calculated.
