Note: I do NOT own Sonic or Sega or anything having to do with that. Sure I might WANT to, but that's beside the point.

Note: This is meant to be my greatest Sonic fanfic EVER. Please give your honest opinion when reviewing. Thank you for your patronage.

Prologue

[10:23 P.M. Station Square Hotel, Room # 316]

"Oh man, what a long day. Even for a day without a problem or global crisis" Said Sonic, getting into his giant blue bed.

"Well, at least we can actually sleep. I mean, it's not like yesterday. Now that was a big problem" replied Tails, leaning against a wall across from Sonic's bad.

Welcome to Station Square Hotel. This is Sonic and Tails room. Even a small day of no big problems can be a long day. Taking a flight in Tails' X-Tornado, tricking the gullible Knuckles into do something stupid, getting chased by Amy (who likes Sonic), and sometimes getting a bite to eat with Big the Cat. Yes, a day in the life of Sonic and Tails can be a world-wide disaster to getting groceries at the supermarket.

"Oh yeah, the whole ARK thing. That was a big thing, almost crashing with the Earth. I'm going to miss Shadow, though." Sonic said, with a little sadness in his voice. "I mean, he saved his life for us."

"Well, that's all in the past now. But for now..." Tails walked over to his yellow bed, which was slightly smaller than Sonic's. "Let's just get some sleep."

"But I want another adventure, Tails!" Sonic slammed his fists onto the springy mattress. "I want to actually find a crisis that I might not be able to handle!" He rolled over toward the window and looked out into the light infested sky "I just... want to find... an adventure..."

And with that, Sonic dozed off and dreamed about his first adventure, when a liquid-like monster was destroying the city, and how Sonic would use the power of the 7 chaos emeralds to restore it to normal. Then a friend, Tikal, helped out and sent it to her shrine, where it would never be found again.

However, there was something new in his dream. Chaos broke out of the shrine and attacked Sonic. Sonic's dream ended at that as he woke up immediately, yelling. Tails woke up, too, yelling and all.

"Sorry I woke you, Tails."

"No, it wasn't you. I... I had a nightmare."

"Then do what I do – think about tomorrow, and what you hope it will be."

Tails rolled away from Sonic's direction. "Tomorrow..." Tails fell fast asleep.

Sonic rolled back in the direction of the window.

Tomorrow... is another day... tomorrow... will be another adventure... I can feel it... tomorrow... tomorrow........

[7:13 A.M.]

"Ohh, man. What a horrible dream..." said Sonic. "Tails? You awake?"

He rolled over in his bed. "What the!?! This isn't my hotel room! Tails? TAILS!"

Sonic got out of bed and looked around. He was a in a grey room with concrete walls, floor, and ceiling. There were no signs of furniture or windows, only the grey bed with tattered sheets. The only light source came from a long hall at the foot of his "bed."

"...well, I guess I'll go check out the hall. Better than staying in this boring, grey room. I might also find some answers..."

Sonic slowly walked down the long, long hallway. The farther he went, the more the light blinded him. Finally, the light faded a little. He finally found the end of the hallway which led to a large, open room. It had aqua green walls, a dome-shaped ceiling with a mural, and there was no furniture. However, the only thing in the room was a set of stone stairs which led to a platform with a chair on it. There appeared to be someone in it, but only the outline was visible.

"You!" Sonic exclaimed, standing at the base of the stairs "You're behind this, aren't you?"

The figure in the chair nodded.

"Then who are you? Where am I? Why did you take me here?"

"All good questions, Sonic" replied a gruff voice from behind him.

Sonic spun around. There stood a yellow fox, a red echidna, a pink hedgehog, an orange rabbit, and a bat. All of them were friends of his, but they didn't look happy to see him.

"Tails!" said Sonic. "And Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Rouge! You're all okay!

"Hmph!" scoffed Rouge the Bat. "Only if you call sleeping on a tattered, grey bed okay"

"Sonic, I'm scared!" Said Cream the Rabbit. "I want to go home..."

"Cream, don't worry. Sonic will get us out of this!" said Amy the Hedgehog. "Right, Sonic?"

"Sonic!" exclaimed Tails. "Do something!"

Sonic turned back to the figure in the chair. "You better give us some answers now."

The darkened figure stood from his chair and walked down the stairs, revealing the body. The figure wasn't really human, though. It was a transparent blue thing with big, glowing, green eyes and a visible brain. It was the one from Sonic's dream.

"It's you..." said Sonic. "......Chaos."

"Yes, and I will answer the questions you probably have. You each have one question. You first, bat."

"Right..." said Rouge. "Umm, who are you?"

"I am Chaos. I appeared in your sleep tonight to send you a warning message. I escaped the shrine that this blue hedgehog imprisoned me in. I was stuck in that tomb with that girl, Tikal, forced to stay for eternity. It was too much."

Amy stepped forward. "How can you talk? You didn't talk before. You only roared."

"I could always talk. I just never want to talk, unless I am far too angered."

"Where are we?" asked Cream. "I want to go home"

"...we are in a temple on a planet in the furthest section of space"

"What have you done to Tikal?" Said Knuckles, guessing it was his turn. "I thought she was supposed to tame you and keep you in there."

"She did try, she really did. It was so degrading. Let me put it this way... she was delicious..."

Knuckles lowered his head.

Tails stepped forward "How did you bring us here? I thought you said this was the furthest section of space!"

"Well, that would reveal one of my best powers, so that will still remain unanswered."

Chaos turned to Sonic and glared at him. "Your turn..."

Sonic glared at him back. "Why did you bring us here?"

Chaos looked back among everyone.

"I have brought you all here..." Chaos narrowed his glowing, green eyes. "to do my evil bidding..."
