Rain was pouring down as Danny still has his gun aimed at Sonic.
"Any last words specter!?" Danny barked while turning the safety off the gun.
Sonic gets up with a smirk on his face.
"Heh…Chris its me Sonic the hedgehog." Sonic said as he moves the gun away from his face.
Danny was confused and lowers the gun a bit.
"Who the hell is Chris?' Danny said as he switches the safety back on.
Sonic was confused this time.
"Wait your not Chris Thorndyke?" Sonic asked.
"No…no I'm not and you're not a specter…" Danny puts the gun away and walks away from Sonic going back on patrol.
Sonic follows behind him as both left the alleyway.
"Hey wait up!" Sonic yelled as he was trying to catch up.
Danny stops and slightly looks behind him. Sonic had caught up to Danny.
"Any reason why you are following me? He asked.
"Well, I never got your name heh! That and I need help finding my friends so we can get back home." said Sonic.
Danny chuckled a bit.
"I'm talking to a blue fucking hedgehog…. what the hell has my life come down to." Danny whispered to himself.
"My name is Danny-Clyde Rodgers. You can call me Danny." He answered.
Sonic smiles and puts his thumbs up.
"Alright! Danny it is!" Sonic said.
Danny had walked into an empty building and waits for the rain to stop while Sonic follows. Sonic had shaken himself dry while the water splashed at Danny.
"Really!?" Danny took a deep breath.
He grabbed a chair from the corner and sits down.
"Alright… How the hell did you get here? Why are you here?" He asked.
"Dr. Eggman's stupid teleporter sent me and my friends here. But I do not know why we are here in this city. Speaking of which, this isn't station square is it?" Sonic asked.
"First, I don't know who Dr. Eggman is. Second, no you are in Orion City." Danny answered.
"Wait a second…there's more of you?" He quickly asked.
"Yeah! Amy, my best friend Tails, Knuckles, and Tangle!" Sonic said.
Danny did a facepalm and whispers to himself again.
"Holy shit…I'm going to be surrounded by talking animals…" he said while shaking his head.
Danny stops shaking his head and looks outside seeing the rain had stopped a bit until his radio was going off.
"This is Danny go ahead."
"Danny, we notice a portal…your area…status…over." The radio was getting some interference.
"Area is secured. On my way back over." Danny's radio was acting weird until something else came through.
"SONIC! SONIC!" Tails was yelling through Danny's radio.
Sonic was surprised and Danny held the radio in his hand away from his face.
"Sonic if you're hearing this! We are in the forest! And we need help fast these creatures came out of no where when we got here!" Amy yelled through Danny's radio.
Danny cuts off his radio, so he will not go deaf then looks at Sonic.
"I got to save my friends!" Sonic bolted to the door until Danny blocked him with a stern look on his face.
"Are you out of your mind!? The creatures that's in the forest will tear you and your friends apart!" Danny yelled at the hedgehog.
Sonic tried to push him out of the way, but Danny did not move. He took a deep breath knowing that he would get in trouble.
"Alright! I will help…but you are going to have to stay hidden when we get there. People will not get used to seeing a talking and animal walking around. Also, that's if I don't get in trouble for leaving my post."
Danny creaks open the door a bit looking around. He grabs the hedgehog and carries him on his back rushing towards the jeep. Sonic jumped off Danny's back.
"Hang on a second, I need to check something." Danny said as he unlocked the jeep's doors and left the alleyway.
Sonic got in the jeep and waited for Danny to come back while messing with the radio.
As Sonic waited for him to come back, He was stopped by a group of armed thugs.
"Ah it's you guys…" Danny said annoyingly.
One of the armed thugs walked up to Danny.
"Boss said that you're not allowed in this part of the city. We made an agreement!"
Danny did not care and pushed the thug to the side. He was not in a good mood as another blocked him from walking away as all three surrounded him.
"Where are you going to were talking to you?!" One of the thugs said.
Danny was getting angry as he reaches in his jacket pocket and pulls out his knife.
"I'm not dealing with this shit…fuck off already!" He said angrily.
Danny lunged at the thug in front of him and stabs the thug in the neck then rips the knife out. The other two stood there in shock as Danny cleaned the blood off the knife.
"Tell your boss our little agreement is off… Go find your weapons from somewhere else." Danny said as he puts away the knife.
"You're going to regret this, Danny! When our boss hears about this your dead!" Both fled the scene leaving the other one dead on the ground.
Danny took a deep breath and goes back in the alleyway where Sonic was waiting in the Jeep still messing with Danny's radio.
"What took you so long? Sonic asked.
Danny started the jeep and drove them out of the alleyway then on the roadway.
"Nothing to worry about mate." Danny said calmly but his body was shaking a bit.
As they are driving to the Forest to go rescue Amy and Tails. Knuckles and tangle had come out of the portal as well but in an extremely dangerous region. They had ended in Crino city's Slums which is under control by the Council of Judgment's enforcer Ravager. Haragiers and Reavers were patrolling the city and the people in those cities were a bit frightened. Some of the Haragiers blended in as humans and the others chose not to.
"Where are we?" Tangled asked.
Knuckles was enraged and was clenching his fist together. He was cooling down bit while looking around.
"Are we back in station Square?" he said.
Knuckles and tangled looked around and saw an armed Reaver and Haragier walking up towards each other scanning the area. Knuckles and Tangle ready themselves if they tried anything. The armed Reaver contacts a higher up.
"Barakis…we have detected an unauthorized portal use."
"Ravager would not tolerate this behavior. Punish the one who did this! We are only here to kill the traitors!" barked Barakis.
"Understood. Ravager will not have anymore problems. Shroud out."
Shroud and the Haragier left the area as Knuckles and Tangles follow behind them. Shroud turned around quickly but was met with a punch from Knuckles. Tangle followed through and struck the Haragier knocking the weapon out of its hand. Shroud had recovered from the punch then quickly strikes knuckles with the butt of his weapon. Knuckles was left in a daze on the ground as Shroud holds Knuckles down from moving.
"You're not going anywhere…" He growled.
Tangle was getting an edge over the Haragier but was unaware of what it is capable of. Shroud was getting frustrated as his partner is fooling around.
"Take that thing down already Mirage! Stop playing!" Shroud said angrily.
"Aww come on I was having some fun." She spoke.
Mirage had gotten serious and levitates Tangle in the air then pins her to the wall. Tangle was struggling to get down, but it was not working.
"What…is going on!?" Tangle yelled still struggling to get down.
Shroud restrained Knuckles and throws him up on his shoulder and carrying him.
"You're coming with us." Shroud said as he carried Knuckles away.
Mirage restrained Tangled as well and took her away. Both proceeded to leave the slums of Crino and headed to prison island called Chains of Sorrows which is the base were Ravager and the other Specters, Reavers and Haragiers reside.
Meanwhile Sonic and Danny had finally arrived near the forest. Sonic had jumped out of the jeep before Danny had even parked it. Danny got out of the vehicle and went to the back of the jeep grabbing the gear he needs.
"Hey Sonic take this." Danny hands Sonic a spare radio.
"You're going to need this to find them the forest gets dangerous around sunset." He spoke.
Sonic nodded and took off running into the forest to find his friends. Danny stayed behind to finish gearing up and turns his radio back on. He contacted Hiroshi and was met with anger instead.
"Danny! Why did you leave the city!? You were ordered to patrol the West side of Orion! Explain!" He yelled.
"Sir I had ran into some problems. First it was not a specter incursion portal, some blue hedgehog came out of it instead and he's not alone. Two more had appeared in the forest and are attacked by the creatures in the forest. I assume it's the corrupted reavers that Ravager set loose there. I'm going to rescue them and bring them back for questioning." Danny explained.
Hiroshi was stunned for a second and responded.
"Understood, I will send Dominic and Ava to your location Hiroshi out."
Danny hooked the radio to his jacket and carefully navigated his way into the forest. Sonic was far ahead and was talking to Tails and Amy to their whereabouts. He managed to find them under attack by the corrupted Reavers. One by one Sonic get rid of them and had saved them both from harm.
"Sonic!" Both yelled.
Tails and Amy jumped up then hugged Sonic tightly.
"Where were you?" Amy asked.
"Where is Knuckles and Tangled?" Tails asked.
"Hey relax guys! Heh. I was teleported in a city called Orion and was picked up by someone…speaking of which he should be here." He spoke.
"We need to get out of here Sonic it's starting to get dark, and I think those creatures may come back." Tails explained.
Right when Tails had said that more corrupted Reavers had shown up blocking them group from escaping. All three of them prepared themselves for the next wave and held them off as much as they can. In the middle of the firefight Sonic was contacted by Danny.
"Sonic where are you at?! Its starting to get a bit dicey out here!" Danny yelled.
"Danny were by the creek, but more of these things are showing up." Sonic responded.
"I'm on my way!" Danny said.
Danny managed his way through the waves of reavers but was punched by one of them knocking his gun out of his hand. Danny was on the ground backing away from it as he reaches for his pistol. He put 5 rounds into the reavers head and falls on top of him. Danny pushes the dead creature off him then grabs his weapon from the ground while getting back up. He continues to push through the wave and finds Sonic and his friends.
"Phew! Okay you guys alright." Danny was exhausted.
"Yeah, were fine. Heh!" Sonic responded.
"No time for chit chat we need to leave now…give me a second to catch my breath." Danny was breathing heavily then recovered a bit.
"I got reinforcements on the way, but we need to leave the forest fast we won't be able to handle another wave." Danny commanded.
All of them nodded and fled the forest while being pursued by aggressive reaver. Sonic, Tails and Amy made it out of the forest and hid behind Danny's Jeep. Danny was firing at the aggressive reaver, but it was not stopping at all as he had ran out of ammo.
At the last moment an armored dune buggy drove right in between Danny and was firing at the aggressive reaver forcing it to retreat into the forest. Everyone was relieved and was safe.
As the area was being secured, a mysterious figure was watching everything that had happen on the cliffside. He was spotted by Sonic then walks away. Sonic was confused as to what he saw, but he will remember it.
