"Amy, I'm fine."
"You're not." Amy insisted as she pulled Sonic along the street. "There's something wrong with you, and Miles will be able to sort it out."
Sonic sighed and looked around him instead. Amy was dragging him through a small town, shops and houses everywhere, people scurrying about doing whatever is was that they were doing. Sonic was so confused; how could he have been transported from a quiet forest to a town in one night? The forest was miles away from any civilized spot.
Amy herself looked different. She didn't have the girlish innocence about her; she was more like a woman. She seemed to have a taste for blue tops and jeans. Her figure was good, too. From where Sonic was looking…
Sonic stopped himself from going any further. He remembered who he was thinking about here; Amy Rose. But was she? She seemed almost a different person. They were married, they lived in a town; Sonic wondered, could this e the future?
Finally, they came to a stop outside a small building, the white paint peeling away slightly. The sign on the door read, "Dr. Miles Prowler Surgery".
Amy knocked on the door and entered without waiting for an answer, dragging Sonic inside. A small surgery awaited them, creamy wallpaper filling the walls, with not a window in sight. A wooden table stood in the centre of the room, and on the shelves were assorted medical equipment and books.
"Miles, are you here?" Amy called out.
"I'm in the back!" A voice called out. Amy went over to a door on the other side of the room and cautiously peered in. She suddenly shut it as a glow of sparks came from inside. Sonic immediately went over to her.
"Are you alright?"
"Yes, he just gave me a shock. I'd really like to know what he has in there."
The door opened, and Tails walked in, dressed in a white lab coat and a facemask. His coat had grimy stains on it, and his hands were oily.
"Ah, Amy." He smiled. "Good to see you again. I'm sorry I couldn't come to the wedding, I had an urgent call from a patient in Northville."
"That's quite alright, Miles."
"Now," Tails went over to the sink and washed the oil his hands. "What can I do for you two?"
"It's Sonic." Amy replied. "Something's wrong with him. He woke up this morning and can't remember anything."
"I can remember fine." Sonic burst out. "But this? We're married, Tails is a doctor…"
A stricken look came across Tails' face. "I've asked you not to call me that anymore."
"What?" Sonic was utterly perplexed. Tails sighed and turned away. He took off his coat and hung it on the hook near the door. Sonic was shocked. Where once he had had two bushy tails, there was only one stump, and a bloody scar where the other had been.
"Oh my…" Sonic put a hand to his forehead. "I need to get out of here."
Sonic turned and ran out the door, oblivious to Amy's cries. He ran out and kept running. What was going on? What had happened to his friends? Sonic ran faster. He didn't care where he went, so long as it was away from here.
A red blur suddenly jumped out at him from behind a building. Sonic found himself pinned to the floor and staring up into the familiar face of Knuckles.
"Keep still blue boy and you won't get hurt." He rasped. Sonic stared. Knuckles' face was covered in scars. His usual bright red fur had turned into a matted, dirty mess. Knuckles was livid, glancing this way and that, as if looking out for something. Suddenly, he jumped up, pulling Sonic with him and pressed a gun to his head.
"Don't move or the hedgehog gets it!" Two vultures in blue police uniform swooped down in front of them and landed.
"C'mon Knuckles, give us the gun." One of them said.
"No!" Knuckles yelled. "Not until you tell me where she is!"
"Knuckles," The other vulture said softly. "Just come with us and we'll help you find whoever you're looking for."
"No! You'll just lock me up again, like an animal! I have a right to be free!"
A siren suddenly rang out, and everyone ran, panicking into the nearest building. The vultures flew off again, and Knuckles finally let go of Sonic. He looked up to the sky and grinned.
"Yes. He's here."
A shadow passed over them. Sonic looked up and saw a huge ship hovering over the town. Knuckles disappeared in a shimmer of blue light.
"Sonic!"
Amy ran up to Sonic and took him by the arm, trying to drag him away. "It's a raid! You have to get inside!"
"No!" Sonic pulled himself away from Amy. "What's going on? It's all wrong!"
"Sonic, you need to come now!"
"No!" Sonic yelled over the noise of the ship. "Something's going on!" Sonic looked up to the ship. "Is it you?" He called out. "Are you doing this? Tell me what's going on!"
The world around Sonic seemed to shimmer suddenly. He saw Amy running towards him, almost in slow motion. The next thing he knew, the world around him had disappeared and he was standing on the top of a huge cliff, looking down into the valley below. He felt a rope around his waist, and turned to see a queue of people behind him.
"C'mon, hurry up! Jump! I've been waiting for an hour!" The man behind him said.
Sonic looked down at the valley below him.
"Oh boy." He said.
