The Navigator
(NOTICE: Sonic the Hedgehog belongs to SEGA.)
In a small house in a forest, a red fox works on a wispon for his friend. He flips his bangs to the side for a better view and continues to tighten a screw on the wispon. His friend walks into his workshop to observe his work; a red wolf in a body suit and a beanie hat who has been fighting alongside Sonic against Dr. Eggman's forces. "Everything set, Daryl?" The fox looked up and then looked back at his work. "Just about, Jack. Just need to finish screwing this in."
Daryl manages to finish his work on the wispon. He hands it over to Jack, in which he checks it out to see if it's to his liking. Impressed, Jack holsters his wispon. "You know, Knuckles could use someone like you at base." Jack stated. "I don't know." Daryl doubted. "I'm not sure if that's the place for me."
"I don't see why not." Jack stated. "You helped me out of sketchy situations before." Daryl looked up at Jack. "Yeah. I did. But I'm merely a navigator these days."
"Oh come on, Daryl." Jack put his hand on Daryl's shoulder. "They could still use someone with your skills in the fight." Jack's navigator beeps and checks it. "Well, that's Knuckles now." Jack stated. "Looks like there's a factory we need to hit."
"You think it's run by Eggman?" Daryl asked. "It could very well be." Jack answered. "Better get that computer ready, buddy."
Jack puts on his headset and leaves the room, shutting the door behind him. Dayrl boots up his laptop and activates the tracker. While doing so, he begins thinking to himself. "It's been three months since I been out there last." Daryl thought. "It was good to fight side by side with Jack. But now…" Daryl grunts in discomfort while moving around in his chair, trying to get comfortable. "Now I can't go anywhere with this bad back. But I'm lucky the fall didn't kill me."
Three months ago, Daryl and Jack were running through the city on a mission. They suddenly come to a screeching halt. Egg Tanks were marching towards them. "Egg Tanks!" Jack exclaimed. "Eggman just isn't giving up, isn't he?" Daryl asked. "Don't worry. We can take them." Jack stated. The Egg Tanks began to fire, with Daryl and Jack jumping out of the way. The two friends jump on a group of Egg Tanks, destroying them in the process. They proceed to boost through another group of Egg Tanks. Once the robots were dealt with, Daryl and Jack stopped to catch their breath.
"Those guys weren't so hot." Jack stated. "Not a problem at all." Daryl replied. Suddenly, the ground around them started to shake. Daryl turns his head and his eyes began lighting up. "Uh… Jack?" A bigger robot approaches Daryl and Jack with the intent to destroy them. "Don't worry, Daryl." Jack reassured. "We got this." The two jump onto the robot, aiming to find its weak point. While trying to do just that, the robot grabs Daryl and throws him over the bridge. "Daryl!" Jack yells in horror as he sees his best friend fall. Daryl then lands on the center of his back, screaming in pain. Jack, entering a state of rage, uses all of his strength and rips the robot's head off. Jack jumps off and the robot explodes. Jack rushes down to Daryl to check on his condition. "Come on, buddy." Jack stated. "I'm not leaving you here."
Back in the present day, Daryl reflects on these events. "Hey, Daryl." Jack radios in. "I'm in position. Are you ready to do this?" Daryl uses his computer to look ahead of Jack's position. "Yeah." Daryl answered. "You got some rust buckets ahead of you. You think you can take them?"
"Of course." Jack answered. "Gotta do this for the Blue Blur. He's right here." Daryl looks at his screen again and sees Jack accompanied by Sonic the Hedgehog. "We got this, kid." Sonic stated. "Just let us know what we got." Daryl smiles and begins to type. "You got it."
