Alright! I'm alive! Yes, I know! It took me a while to get back into the writing mood, I had a SERIOUS writer's block / So sad, no? Anywhom, Big thankyew to Niomie and Fuyuki (Better known as the owner of Blaze (fox)) for supporting/pestering me for chapters! Yaaaaay! I'm going to have some issues getting in the newer characters, and I'm gonna ask that nobody else ask to get thiers in because I'm thinking the story is gonna end sooner or later, and I won't be able to put it all in. Anywho. One or two of the characters I haven't put in will be in before the end, simply because I may like the effort they put into thier bio and such. Ehh, We'll see what the month brings :D Pester me with reviews if you want another chapter, It would be nice to know it's still read.

P.S. Niomie and her friend wrote a Sonadow story, well written, Even if you're like me and don't paticularly adore those yaoi couples, read it, it's very well done, beleive me.

The link isn't working, because Fanfiction is so passive, but an easy way to find it is to search Sonic and Shadow as the two characters, it's around 2000 words and is complete. Please read D

Author's Review:

It took the Sonic team several months to recuperate from their second disaster of the year. Knuckles was still in the hospital, the good news was, he'd be okay. But because of his little 'Temper tantrum' the doctors wanted him to stay longer than he needed to, so they could take some 'Tests'. Shadow had disappeared again, but Sonic could care less. The cobalt hedgehog was still fuming about Shadow's rather out-of-character action. He and Amy were slowly becoming friends again. She'd forgiven him and the two hedgehogs were hanging out together again. But Sonic noticed something in Amy, she had changed, she had matured a lot. She didn't chase after him, or bug him for attention. She was still just as fun and happy to be around, only Sonic found her pleasurable to be with. He'd never noticed before, but with her lengthened quills and sparkling emerald eyes, Amy was rather pretty.

Eggman and his 'Minions of d00m' had been laying low for a while. And much to Kylo's despair, she'd not seen nor heard from Niomie since. However, the fox knew better than to worry, after all; Niomie could take care of herself. Spike had also disappeared since. He'd checked out of the hospital after some stitches and mysteriously vanished. The Chaotix team had also been out of commission for a while, the trio had retreated to their headquarters and only checked in to say hi and see how everyone else was doing. Everyone else was around. Kylo's apartment had become the 'Girls' place'. Blaze fox, Kylo herself and Istas. The fox had changed as well; her fur was no longer deep blue, but a lighter shade of pale icy blue, a result of her maturing as an Arctic fox. She'd also changed her outfit that she wore. Fall time was rolling around and she was more themed for that. Mikey the Hedgehog had been staying with Tails and Sonic, who'd been camping out at the twin-tailed fox's workshop for a good ever. They got more sleep than usual though. Michael, the odd…thing that had shown up at the party, had come and gone in his own time and had left as well. Have I missed anyone? Oh yes…Canon Hedgehog. The poor thing was being forced to work for Eggman, the life of Cream, who also happened to be faring just fine, would be ended if he did not. But don't panic, my faithful readers, I'm not done yet. We'll pick up our story in an old abandoned warehouse on the edge of the city, where Eggman's plan has finally been set into motion; starting with his employees hearing from him for the first time in exactly three months.

Migro Vampryum shifted, opening his eyes to tiny slits. His mind told him it was still daytime, and he still had another few hours to sleep; he was incredibly gifted with keeping track of time. But yet, the warehouse was dark, the crack in the side of the building which the moon usually shone through was dark, and his vision blurred. It was then that the vampire rolled his eyes and opened them fully, only to come-face-to-face with a childish grin

"Hai!" Shmeeko-Reeko said eccentrically, causing the bat to snarl viciously in turn, which stirred his companion beside him. He folded his ears against his head and motioned for the lemur to get back onto the ground. Being bats, Migro and Claire both slept hanging from the rafters, and Shmeeko was currently directly in front of him –that explains what was blocking the light- hanging by her tail from one rafter. As soon as the pair was on the ground and away from the still slumbering Claire, Migro snarled and bared his fangs to the lemur; he hated being awoken before sunset.

"What is it that you want, Lemur?" He challenged fiercely. The lemur simply smiled and waved, when Quarma stepped out from the shadows, the three of them seemed to be the only ones awake. Niomie and Quarma both favored sleeping the day away, and leaving the night for their jobs. Shmeeko was the only one who barely slept, nobody really knew when, or for how long, but with the way she acted, no one doubted that she never got enough sleep.

"I told her to fetch you, vampire." Quarma said in a sly tone, grinning mischievously as he spoke. Migro was about to snarl at the panther in turn, but the feline lifted a hand for silence. "We've gotten a call" He said, cutting off whatever it was Migro was planning to say to him. This perked the bat's ears. The vampire narrowed his eyes and grunted emotionlessly

"Where?" He demanded. No sooner had he said that had Shmeeko made an obscene amount of noise pushing something that looked like a miniaturized television screen towards them. She was pushing it oddly, her hands pushing the bottom and her head facing the ground, not really watching where she was going, and her tail was high in the air, at least, until she crashed into a small pile of boxes and it had lashed back and fourth as she pushed it into place in front of the duo. The lemur clattered to the ground, having tripped over something, but the bat could care less as to what it was. The message was on and the notorious evil doctor grinned up at them from the small previously black screen.

Sonic the Hedgehog

I yawned and stretched under my covers, my eyes still sealed close, I rolled over and brought my hand, which had been dangling over the side of the bed, to my forehead.

'What time is it? Aw man, do I have to get up?'

I willed my eyes open, only to find they seemed to be determined on staying shut, and my eyelids felt heavy as I lifted them. Sunlight poured into the room through the poorly drawn blinds. I could barely even see the clock through the glare of the light against it. 10:53, Jeeze. Tails already wondered how on earth I could sleep in that long, he had troubles sleeping in, being one of those up-and-at-'em types. Usually, I am too, but he's usual at breakfast or tinkering. Me? I like to run. You should know that. I flung the covers off and ruffled my quills as I forced myself out of bed. As soon as my feet were on the floor, I stretched and slipped into my shoes. As the blood rushed back to my head, so did my energy, I suddenly felt the urge to run. I flung open the door, and tore into the hallway, pausing for only a split second to glance at myself in the bathroom mirror. My blue quills were ruffled, they usually were when I got up, and my brand-spanking-new bangs were messy as well. I quickly smoothed my quills out with my hands and ruffled my bangs some more. Man, I think they make me look hot, and I've only started growing them within the past month or so. After my 'Gotta-be-cool' touch up, I leaped the steps and came into the kitchen, skidding across the tile floor in front of the fridge. Tails was sitting at the table, shoving in a spoonful of Lucky charms as he poked at some sort of machine he'd been working on him. I hastily waved and I opened the fridge and peered around

"Morning Sonic!" He chirped happily from behind me as I grabbed an apple from the top shelf and juggled it in one hand as I closed the door. Man I wanted nothing more than to tear out the door, but I had to say hi to my little bro' first

"Hey Tails!" I said, trying to be equally as enthusiastic, but that's rather hard to do. "Sleep well?" He nodded and smiled brightly

"I slept in Sonic!" He said, treating the matter as if it was worthy of an award. I paused and considered what to say, well, with Tails and sleeping in, I guess it could be. I smiled.

"Awesome little buddy! For how long?"

"Until 9:30!" Wow, quite a step for a seven-o'clock sharp kinda guy. He wasn't even up late that particular day.

"Cool!" I paused again and stopped single-handedly juggling one apple and caught it. "Listen, I'm gonna go out for a run, I have this serious urge to race out the door right now." I waited until Tails nodded and began to say something, but I didn't hear it, I was gone the minute he'd moved. I left the door swinging open behind me; I didn't even bother to close it. Tail's workshop was located along the edge of the woods, behind it was fields, and further out, the desert. Maybe a kilometer or two in front of it was the city. Either way, I had plenty of space to run. I decided today to head for the desert. With the wind rushing in my ears as I ran, I felt exhilarated; I wanted to run further, faster. I picked up speed and grinned automatically when…My stomach growled.

'Aw man, way to ruin the moment!' I skidded to a halt and plopped down onto my butt, I still had that apple, which was going to end up being my breakfast. As I munched on my one-item breakfast, I'd gone far enough in the short time I'd run to see the desert, sands billowing across the land by the wind, I couldn't feel it, but I was sure there was going to be quite a gust over there. A perfect spot to run. I chomped down on the rest of my apple and threw it away from me –Hey, its compost. I took a few steps forward and paused, it was quiet out here, I kind of liked quiet from time-to-time. Today, though, this quiet felt odd. I could hear the wind whistling over the desert. My gut took this as a sign to turn back, like that was ever going to happen. I only became curious as to why I felt so bad about going into the desert. What was in there that was giving me the creeps? No time to ask questions, let's find out. I tore forward at a rapid speed, trailing dust and dirt behind me as I finally came out onto the desert. Jeeze, there is quite a Wind, maybe I should turn- No, let's keep it up, Sonic, I mean, it's only a little breeze! I raced onward, deeper into the desert, I couldn't help but to let out a whoop of glory as my feet flew across the sand. I looked up, the sun was high in the sky, and it must've been around noon. Had I really taken that long to run? How far had I gone? I forced myself to stop running and look around. I swear my heart missed a beat as I could see nothing. Well, nothing but sand around. I couldn't see the field, or the forest. The city wasn't even anywhere nearby, or at least, I couldn't see it. I whipped my head around wildly, gotta run, and gotta find a way out. I tore in a random direction, pushing myself harder as I ran across the desert. It wasn't long before I grew impatient, and the truth stared me to the ground. I was lost. I forced myself to slow down and stop. Tired of running for now, and amazed at how quickly I'd gotten lost, I sat down and sighed loudly. I didn't expect anyone to hear me, but someone did. I hear the soft crunch of footsteps on the sand, getting louder. It must've been one of those explorer-type people that live in the desert…At least; I think they live in the desert. I perked my ears and looked around, suddenly, I didn't feel all that great, and something felt horribly wrong, as if these footsteps were the very reason why I shouldn't have come into the desert. Darn it! Why did I have to be such a hot-head? Wait. I take that back. I swallowed and stood up, narrowing my eyes as a shadow became visible through the sand. To my surprise the shadow paused, it seemed to have spotted me, then tore off into the air, blocking the sun before it came down at me, hard.

"Mother, when will Amy be over for tea?" The sweet little rabbit asked joyfully, spinning in graceful circles as she danced around the room, holding a small blue chao close to her heart and humming as she did. The elder rabbit, Vanilla smiled at her bubbly daughter and checked her watch.

"A few minutes now, dear" She said as she set the table. Amy was such a sweet girl, and she was such good friends with Cream, she treated her just like a little sister. Which was touching for her, considering Cream had no siblings, and only her chao as a companion at home? Vanilla enjoyed having Amy over, She was always willing to help out with anything that needed doing, and she seemed to always find a way to balance her time between shopping, living, having fun and spending time with her closest friends. My, what a busy girl. Vanilla lifted her head as the clatter of boots and a closing door announced the arrival of the pink hedgehog. Vanilla put on another smile and went out to greet her. Amy had been told she needn't knock, for she was welcome here whenever she pleased, assuming they were home. The hedgehog kicked off her boots and neatly placed her scarf and jacket on a chair, then looked up at Vanilla, obvious concern dancing in her eyes. A moment later, Cream danced into the room, smiling brightly. But the young rabbit was polite and smart for her age, and recognized that something was wrong. Amy said nothing, but motioned for them to follow. Vanilla now noticed that the hedgehog looked rather windblown, her hair was messy and looked tangled, which was odd, she usually took such good care of her precious quills. Vanilla did not question the hedgehog, but followed her as she went into the living room and lifted the blinds, letting a dark light flood into the room through the wide-paned window. Vanilla drew a breath in as she gazed outside. The trees were tilted violently, and swaying, leaves were flying across the front yard, what a gale! But the wind – the wind was nothing. Vanilla heard her daughter gasp as well as she looked up the huge black demon of a thundercloud heading over the desert towards the city, flashing dangerously, and even through the wind on the windowpane, the three females could hear an odd sound, like machinery operating, making a funny hissing noise. She wondered if something of the neighbors had broken in the approaching storm. She'd ask once it blows over. For now, the rabbit simply reached up and drew the blinds over the window, hiding the terror that was approaching the city. She turned to the two girls and did her best to put on a carefree smile.

"So, what about that tea?" She didn't want to have to talk about the thunderhead, and she doubted anyone else did either, she was right. Amy smiled as well and took Cream's hand, leading her into the kitchen; Vanilla took one last peek outside. The storm had gotten closer, faster. The older rabbit couldn't help but to shiver and look away

"Oh dear."
