Just to let you all know, by the time this story is finished, the game will most likely be out. This is just MY interpretation of the game. Not the real thing. But sorry for not updating for a while. I'm really busy.

Chapter 3: Meet Sonic


Sparks of fire floated around in the air, and fire blazed in the background. An overweight man stood in some sort of transportation device in front of Princess Elise. The robots stood there, guarding the area from anyone. Missiles had hit certain crowd members, and killed them instantly, but most survived and were currently evacuating at the same exact moment this treachery was happening. The water reflected the fire in the distance, and wasn't as calm and peaceful as it was before the man arrived. Before Dr. Eggman came. The stone bricks that were beautifully designed on the streets across from the center isle the princess was on had been broken into several pieces, and pebbles and rubble were seen everywhere. You could see the dirt that was under the stone street. Eggman had finally stepped out.

"I am Doctor Eggman, and I have come here to obtain the secrets of the Flames of Disaster from you! And to take the miracle gem that is the key to it's secret, the Chaos Emerald! Now, princess…this way, please." Eggman explained. He bowed down and made way for her as if she would just go with him with no sudden explanation.

"I'll never go with you!" She said. Elise had grabbed the Chaos Emerald around her neck."

"I was afraid you would say that. I guess I'm going to have to take you by force."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, this! Robots! Take Princess Elise with me! Leave this hooded figures alone. They have no importance to me." The robots obeyed and seized Elise by arm. It was then; Elise could feel a slight breeze, growing windier and windier. The sparks in the air started to disappear. A blue swirling motion appeared around the center isle. Suddenly, it stopped. Up at the edge of the goblet, a blue figure stood, and smirked. Elise was confused. She had not in her life seen this blue hedgehog.

"Heh, heh, nice little party ya got here, Eggman!"

"ARGH! Not that irritating hedgehog again! Robots! Leave the princess alone! Attack Sonic!" Eggman said as he grabbed Elise by the arm. He pulled her into the platform that he arrived in, but made sure that she didn't escape behind his back. The robots were barely a threat to the hedgehog. They shot the center of the area, but he had simply jumped onto each robot that was circled up with his homing attack. Once he reached his starting point, where a robot stood in front of him, yet broken, he simply tapped it with his foot and it fell down.

"Stupid robots…Launch missiles!" Eggman pointed out as several missiles were fired into Sonic's way. The destroyed the platform he was on, and a small explosion occurred, but that wasn't enough to stop THIS hedgehog. Sonic jumped straight forwards, towards Princess Elise, while doing a flip.

"Why can't I ever get this stupid hedgehog…" Eggman said to himself.

"Hate to leave this party Egghead, but my friend here is feeling a little sick. Mind if we leave?" Sonic said with a smirk on his face. Eggman, being the sluggish human he is, was unable to grab Elise before Sonic picked her up. "Later Eggman!" Sonic said as he jumped out of the vehicle. The water was no obstacle, as Sonic just ran across it, through the red-orange sparks in the air, being the super-fast hedgehog he is. He jumped up to the sidewalk near the water, and tried to escape with Elise in his arms.

"Not again! That stupid hedgehog keeps ruining my plans! Launch missiles again!" he screamed, pointing out towards Sonic. The missiles continuously missed the hedgehog, and hit the area behind him, while several explosions occurred. The blocks from the streets were being destroyed, and were falling into the water, causing larges ripples in the water. Bricks from the buildings were flying everywhere, and glass from the windows shattered onto the ground. Fire spread out as soon as the missiles hit the ground. It was as if they would never stop coming.

Up above on a building, across from the chaos, two figures stood. Knuckles and Silver. Apparently Knuckles knew where Sonic was, since Sonic told him and everyone else that they were going to Soleanna for a vacation.

"There he is," Knuckles pointed towards Sonic as his arm and Sonic himself moved. Several more sparks of fire appeared. One brick was sent towards Knuckles's way, but Knuckles just punched it with perfect timing. The dust and the remains of the brick fell down. He knew where Sonic was, because Sonic and the gang had gone to Soleanna for a vacation. Sonic, Tails, and Amy. Only Shadow, Knuckles, and Rouge didn't go, but they were aware of this city, and how beautiful it is, or was…

"I appreciate your help Knuckles. After all this time, I had searched through timelines, and the areas throughout them. It has taken me a long time, but thanks to you…I've finally found him…the Iblis Trigger," Silver articulated, clenching his fist at the air. The Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald were far back in the distance, so Silver and Knuckles wouldn't be seen. However, this was a very bad move. (For some reason, I like to listen to Chaos Jam (Virtual Sonic) when this next scene comes up. I mean the part when the guitars and drums come in. It somehow matches).

The two had looked back, but they didn't see any glowing lights. Instead, they saw two eyes looking straight at them. A figure stood in front of them, and he had a hedgehog appearance.

"The Chaos Emeralds!" Knuckles shouted. The figure just disappeared into an odd light. The area he left behind was perfectly the same, but he seemed to have dropped some sort of crystal-like object.

"No…this can't be…" Silver said staring at the spot where the figure was standing. He walked over and picked the crystal object.

"What? What do you mean?" Knuckles questioned.

"Mephiles…"

"Mephiles? Who's this 'Mephiles?'"

"Knuckles, do you know anyone named 'Shadow the Hedgehog?'"

"Shadow? What does he have to do with all this?"

"He has a connection with Mephiles. However, he doesn't know yet. I don't know what the connection involves, but I don't think it would matter. Now we have TWO things on our hands. Sonic, and the safety of the Master Emerald and Chaos Emeralds…"

Suddenly, a missile appeared towards their way, about to crash into the building that the echidna and hedgehog stood on.

"KNUCKLES! Get out of the way!" Silver said, spotting the missile first. He jumped at Knuckles, and the two fell off the front of the building. The missile crashed into the building, and as soon as Silver and Knuckles fell off, the explosion occurred. They fell straight on their faces, unfortunately, side by side.

"Silver," Knuckles said still on the ground.

"Yeah?" Silver replied.

"Why didn't you just use your telekinetic abilities to stop that missile?"

"Um…oops. Heh, sorry," Silver said, embarresed while getting up.

"It's okay, but just remember next time, instead of making us both land flat on our faces," Knuckles reminded him while getting up. The fire was dying down, and it had appeared that Sonic and Elise were long gone by now. As the two of them looked across the street, their reflections appeared on the water. The rubble on the other side was piled up immensely. Dust joined the sparks of fire in the air, and smoke rose from the buildings that were destroyed halfway.

"Come on, we have to go find Sonic and Elise!" Silver said, making a head start towards them.

"Wait for me!" Knuckles said, finally catching up.

Sonic and Princess Elise had finally reached a safe distance away from the city. The dark, chaotic sky had turned into a quiet, starry night. The two were on a hill, looking down at some sort of castle beneath them. There were several trees below, and the wind was blowing at the grass. It was a beautiful night. Elise and Sonic sat on the ground. He knew that he left Tails and Amy behind at the festival that they visited for Princess Elise, but knowing Tails and his mechanical abilities, Sonic was positive that they were fine. The two had already introduced each other on their way to this hill, so there was no need for any more introductions.

"Sonic, I'd like to thank you again for saving me from that…obese man," Princess Elise said for the fifth time. Sonic stood up and laughed.

"No really, it's okay! There's nothing to thank me about! All in a day's job!" he replied. The castle that the two looked at must have had thousands of acres to it. A forest surrounded the area, but it wasn't a thick one. Flowers and daisies swayed with the wind, as well as the grass. A clear lake surrounded the castle, but it wasn't too much water. The two hadn't had much to say, as they were resting from the action that happened yesterday. The two hadn't gotten an ounce of sleep at all.

Princess Elise yawned, stretching one of her arms in the air while covering her mouth with the other. Sonic could tell she was tired.

"Why don't we go to sleep out here? It's a beautiful, quiet night, and the sky is filled with stars! We could sleep here! I don't think anything bad will happen to us. After all, I sleep like this on the outdoor grounds all the time! I'm never stationary."

"That must be very nice…" Elise admired. She had to admit, she was jealous of Sonic's free spirited personality. She always wanted one of her own.

"Also, you won't have to worry about a thing from hurting you…I'm a very light sleeper," Sonic informed.

"That's good," Elise said lazily, but she was almost half-asleep when she said this. It wasn't long before she had finally fallen asleep. Sonic's position was a bit different. He looked up at the stars, with his arms over his head and thought of what his next adventure would be. It wasn't long until he fell asleep as well.


Wow, right this makes ME tired. I'm going to sleep! Read and Review!
