"Tails!" Sonic cried. The figure who had hit him was gone, of course. Sonic ran towards where Tails was falling. By the time he got there, which was not long at all, Tails was on the ground. "Tails!" He cried again. Rushing towards his friend. Tails's eyes were fixed on something over Sonic's shoulder. "What? Little bud? Are you okay?" Sonic asked, looking over his shoulder, he saw nothing, so turned back. But Tails's eyes were still fixed on something above him.

"Sonic…" Tails whined quietly "I'm scared of him" He said lifting a hand to point above Sonic again. This time, Sonic looked up. There, perched upside-down on an overhanging branch, was a Bat. His wings were large and looked stronger than average. Long fangs produced from the corner of his mouth. His eyes were pale blue, quite large, and seemed to be emotionless.

"Good evening" He said, his voice was silky, but there was a hint of menace in it "I believe you are Sonic the Hedgehog, Correct?" He grinned, showing off pearly white, yet razor-sharp fangs. Sonic stood up and threw out a hand

"You betcha! You'll pay for doing this to Tails!" Sonic declared. The large bat did nothing. Staring down at him with those wide, empty eyes and the creepy grin. Suddenly the Bat dropped from its perch. Sonic instinctively through up his hands in defense. But the bat spread its wings and pulled up, just above Sonic's head. The bat flew into the shadows of the trees, where Sonic could no longer see it.

"So, if you're Sonic the Hedgehog, then you're the one who needs to suffer." The silky voice taunted from the shadows.

"Me? Why Me?" Despite the threat from the bat, Sonic felt his curiosity growing.

"Someone does not like you very much, so I am to make sure you suffer before you peril." The voice replied "You see Sonic, when the sun is up, I am weak. I can do nothing aside from fly in the Sunlight. But when you make the mistake of staying out to late…" The voice paused "In the shadows of the night I am near invincible. I am near impossible to see and hear. I can strike from the shadows and retreat to them. I rule the darkness, Sonic. You are at my mercy." The voice explained, quite simply. Sonic shook his head, shaking a fist he grinned

"I am at NO one's Mercy!" He challenged bravely. All the While Chris was missing. Sonic had forgotten this until -

"SONIC!" Chris's voice sounded above the trees. Throwing Tails over his back, as if Sonic were giving him a piggy back ride, Sonic followed the voice through the trees. When at long last he burst into the clearing where Chris was standing next to the X tornado. Gently placing Tails on the ground, Sonic shook his friend's shoulders.

"Tails, Tails! Wake up!" Sonic said, Tails's eyes opened slowly. When they fixed on Sonic, they shot wide open

"Sonic!" Sitting up on the instant, Tails climbed into the driver seat of the X Tornado, Chris slipped into the passenger's seat, and Sonic pulled himself up onto the wing. As the engines roared to life, Sonic could swear he could see the pale blue eyes glaring back at him. Turning away, The X Tornado lifted from the ground and shot towards the Thorndyke mansion.

Sonic was sitting at the table the next day. It was about 10 a.m. in the morning.

"So you mean to say this Bat is out to get you?" Amy asked, looking at Sonic as he spoke, seeming concerned. Ella was making tea and Chris was still in bed. Sonic nodded to Amy, then turned to Tails

"He said: At night I am near invincible, you are at my mercy" Sonic quoted, looking to Tails, not wanting to have to deal with some over obsessed fan-girl. Tails shook his head

"I've never seen a faster flier. He knocked my out of the sky almost as fast as you run Sonic!" He exclaimed. Sonic sighed and looked to the table, then to the door, it was slightly ajar, but that didn't matter.

"No one can move as fast as I can, and that bat boy-"Suddenly a noise cut him off, a door swinging open and then an unfamiliar voice.

"His name is Migro." There, in the doorway, one hand rested on the golden handle, stood the fox that had been hit by the car. She'd obviously removed the bandage from her head, but the one on her arm was still there. Walking casually over to the counter, pouring some tea into an empty cup left out for who ever wanted some, she took her cup and sat across the table from Sonic. "His name Is Migro, he's a vampire, but he's also a bat. And before you go saying this guy 'aint dangerous. He is." Kylo had a strange accent, one Sonic had never heard before. She talked like any normal Mobian, but her words were cut off, sometimes replaced with something more western-like. The fox took a sip of her tea and looked to the startled figures before her. Instantly a parade of questions shot into the air

"Who are you?"

"How do you know this?"

"Why is your fur blue?"

What are you doing out of bed?"

"How did you heal so quickly?"

"Are you alright?"

"How did you get on earth?"

"Where'd you come from?"

She took another sip of her tea and politely waited for the barricade of questions to finish

"Firstly, the name's Kylo. Just Kylo, for now." She said calmly, cupping her tea in her hands "And I'm sure the rest of your questions can be answered in one, long story." Kylo said, with a sigh she just seemed to gaze into the tea. "My friend and I were hunting him. Hunting the Vampire bat. Every since you left, Sonic, Migro's been terrorizing Mobius. My friend, Niomie, and I, set out to bring him down. Why us? We're a bit different than most." She paused, lifting her gaze from her tea to Chris, and then resting on Sonic "Anyway, we were in the forest, looking for him, when all seven of the chaos emeralds appeared out of nowhere. Circling you, Sonic. Only you were…Different. You were yellow instead of blue…and you didn't have eyes. They were literately just a swirling red line. It freaked me out, you looked…Evil…" She paused, shivered, and pushed her tea away from her to continue. " But the Emeralds flashed and vanished. Migro attacked me from the shadows, he managed to actually cut my leg, which is why I stumbled away in the first place, but when I got out of the woods, I stepped onto this…strange hard grass…and then all I remember seeing from then on was two bright lights heading towards me. Then I woke up here." She said, shaking her head slowly. She lowered her eyes to the floor. "As for my fur, Fox-boy, don't get to cocky, we're not all normal." She said, quite relaxed. "Actually, it was some sort of chemical reaction. And sea-water. And a god damned heap of bad luck. But now isn't the time to tell you about my fur. If you don't get rid of Migro, Sonic, No doubt he will kill you, and do the same to this planet as he did to Mobius. If he's been hired to take someone 'out of the picture' He'll take them out of the picture alright." Kylo leaned back in her seat and smiled. "Otherwise, we have no other lead on 'im" She said casually "I'm sure Chaotix has a file on him or something." She sighed and waved her hand dismissevly, then looked to the expressions before her. Sonic looked eager, perhaps for the show of trouble, but Tails shared the same mood as Amy, with an uneasy glance at each other, Sonic noticed their expressions.

"What's up with you guys?" He asked, looking puzzled. Tails stuttered

"Well Sonic…" He hesitated, traded a glance with Amy again, and then continued. "Remember when Kylo said you appeared in the center of the emeralds, but you looked…evil?" He asked. He was uncharacteristically quiet. Sonic nodded, and Tails continued "Well…Erm…You might not remember…because it…well." He paused, lost for words and looking to the ground. He was vaguely aware of Kylo's curios eyes on him; he was saved having to say something when Amy did.

"You see Sonic, before we came to earth. You went super a lot more often then you do now…But…when you went super…You kind of went insane too. You were an entirely different person. You were evil. Don't you remember?" She chided nervously. Shaking her head slowly. Sonic searched through his memories and indeed, had vague memories of Tails telling him to calm down before he went evil

"Yeah…But …Ebony got rid of him didn't she?" He asked, his memory about ever being evil blurry. He shifted uncomfortably, aware of Kylo contently watching the conversation. "I mean, he hasn't gotten free again, has he?"

"No Sonic, apparently Ebony only locked him away from Chaos Energy. When you turned super, you were able to control yourself…slightly…or he was able to control himself. But I think the last time you came in contact with the emeralds, the time you were facing Chaos again, weakened the barrier between him and the real world. Taking in Kylo and Migro must've broken the barrier to a state that…" Tails cut himself off. Looking down "If you get…Erm…Stressed out or anything, we might be in trouble. Super Sonic is not known to be forgiving." He said uneasily. Shifting in his chair. Sonic flashed him a smile.

"Ah don't worry little bud! If Super does get out, we'll deal with it! Now, what about this Migro dude. Should we go see if Vector has any files on him?" Sonic turned to ask Kylo. Kylo had a cold smirk on her face, but she quickly frowned again and blinked "Yes, I suggest you do. I'll come with you if it 'aint to much to ask. I've got a bone to pick with Bat-boy there." She said, closing her eyes and leaning back. Sonic pushed his chair back as he stood "Well let's go already!" He said impatiently. Tails rose along with him, looking slightly less enthusiastic about dealing with some Vampire-freak then Super Sonic. Kylo seemed to feel nothing for their quarrels, but she calmly walked out of the room. Looking back to Ella's puzzled expression on how everything flashed by so quickly "Thanks." Kylo said, then turned and walked out the door. Ella calmly shrugged and resumed washing the dishes. That's when Chris walked in.

"Hey Ella!" He said cheerfully, it was almost noon, he'd gotten more then enough sleep. "Where's Sonic?" He asked, looking around, but the Hedgehog and his friends had already left.

"They're gone sweetheart. They left to find out who that person was who attacked Tails last night. And Kylo was better this morning and decided to go with them" She said, returning the cheerful tone.

"Kylo?"

"The blue fox that Robber hit the other day. She got up this morning. She's gone with them." Ella replied.

"Oh…"

"What's the matter dearie?" Ella asked, Chris was looking slightly crest fallen.

"Nothing, just…Thinking about something" Chris said after a while "I'm just going to go for a walk, okay?"

"Alright dear, just maybe you should-"Ella turned to face Chris, but he was already gone. With a shrug she turned back to the sink and resumed washing the dishes again.
