Music plays as people swarm all around the festivities.

Food! Music! Air Bounce Castles! A Petting Zoo! Celebrities galore!

Anybody and Everybody was turning up for the opening day of Station Square's brand new race track.

Chris, his friends and family were all there enjoying the sights, even his mom and dad were there. "Oh this is just a wonderful true out" Lindsey beamed "I finally get to show off my new dress form my latest film. "You look great in it honey" Her husband smiled.

"Oh look!" Amy squealed "Is that Jordan Blare?" "Where? Where?" Emma looked excitedly, having come as well. "It is, let's go get a autograph!"

"Alright alright but meet us in the V.I.P box before the ceremony starts" Grandpa Chuck told them, and he hands them a piece of paper "Here's a map in case you get lost" Amy snatches it and races off with the maid.

"Do we have time to go play on the Bouncy Castle?" Cream asked, she looked at them with big eyes while holding her chao Cheese.

They agree and the kids race off to play.

"Everything looking good Shadow?" A white bat glanced over at her panther, a ebony hedgehog with red streaks over his spines. He was looking into a pair of G.U.N issued binoculars, scanning over the huge mass of people below. "Earth to Shadow" She waved a hand infront of the lens.

Shadow lowers the binoculars "What Rouge?" His crimson eyes said he was a bit annoyed.

"I was talking to you, you didn't hear me did you?" She put a hand on her hip looking back at him with her light blue eyes.

"Of course I did, but I chose to not answer and focus on surveying like we're suppose to. That is our mission to make sure the president's arrival and appearance goes with out any problems and if there are to eliminate them"

"Boy" Rouge sighed and she sat down "It's all missions with you, come on enjoy this view. At least smile a bit, this is a celebration not another random recon assignment"

"Sure" Shadow turned back to the crowd "I'll smile after the president makes his speech"

"Well it's a start I guess" And both Agent sit and watch for any signs of trouble.

Though trouble shall come anyway, despite their efforts.

"Decoe and Bocoe is our 'surprise' ready yet?" Doctor Eggman grinned from high above the scene below in his new Eggfort 3.4.

The yellow bot Decoe looks over the monitors "Just about ready Doctor, Bocoe is going over some last minutes to make sure it's all ready for your wondrous plan"

"Yes heh heh my great plan" Smiling out the window, the doctor just could wait to see the look on everyone's face and most of all Sonic's.

He turns to a video screen turned to a near dark room, all you could see the a big shadowy bulk waiting quietly inside along with a weird blinking red light. "Not much longer my friend and then you'll be able to have some fun"

There was a happy growl for a response

-

"And now Sam Speed!" A announcer calls out. People cheer as the hot shot racer takes the stage.

"Good evening everyone my name is Sam Speed but I bet you knew that already" He joked which some people laughed at. "But anyway today the new Station Square stock car racing track is open. I know I'm a Formula one racer but for this" He pulled a a white sheet from a sign, which reveled it had Sonic picture next to the track's name "I could not pass up. Welcome to the Sonic Speed Mile, home of the SEGA 400"

People stood up and cheered and whistle as they did the Sam smiles "And here to talk to you is our very own President"

~Cue All Hail The Chief~

A short man with combed white hair takes the podium "Hello my fellow citizens as our host Sam Speed as already reveled after careful consideration it was deicded to name this brand new track after our great hero Sonic." He smiles over the crowd. "I hope generations will come to this place and always have a great time and remember our times here. Thanks to our friends we are going to have a day of relaxation and peace and-"

The President was cut off when a large figure drops down from the sky. It crashes down, it's fur was dark and dense with thick muscles, Razor sharp claws poked though gloves and shoes with a logo on a collar around it's neck. It's pine green eyes had dangerous look in them, the pupils thin as cat's. The wolf tail twitched back and forth filled with tension and excitement. It lets lifts it's long wolf like nose and lets out a echoing roar right in the man's face. People start to panic and leap put their seats. Secret Service raise their weapons at this huge creature but it just snaps at them and picks the President in it's powerful jaws. The man let's out a yell of surprise and called for help.

"What the heck is that thing?" Grandpa and the others looked at the scene below in complete confusion. As the beast easily bats people aside as it makes a mad dash though the crowd still dangling the commander in chief in his mouth.

"It doesn't matter" Tails said quickly "You guys get out of here" "You are not going after alone" Amy held up her hammer.

"I'll be fine Amy, take the others and make sure they get out of here with out getting trampled."

She eyes eyes the two tailed fox then looks back that creature now starting to climb the outer wall. "Fine but if you get hurt you are answering to me, got it?"

Tails looks at the hammer then nods quickly "Got it" Only after that did Amy raced after the others to try and escape in one piece.

-
"Unhand me!" The President struggled weakly then he looks down at how high he was "On second though don't let go yet"

"I'm coming Mister President!" A orange blur rammed into the beast sending the man flying from it's jaws. He hit the concrete the roof of the racetrack and was out cold.

Tails glances at them then at his kidnappers "Sonic what's gotten into you? Why are you doing this?"

The transformed hedgehog just growls back and rushes at Tails with his claws extended and jaw wide open. To dodge the fox flies into the air, Sonic leaps into the air snapping his teeth angrily. Then Tails noticed a weird collar around Sonic's neck "That's got to be what's making Sonic act like this..." He notices the logo and frowns "Eggman has to be controlling him somehow. Just how to get it off"

Sonic snarls at his frineds and before he could attack a white blur came out of nowhere and struck him on the side of the head. Sending him flying backwards.

It was Rouge who lands on her feet "Are you ok Tails?" He nods "I'm ok but he's getting back up!" Ponitng to the beast who quickly recovered from the blow.

He rushes again at them, but Rouge scoops up Tails and shoots into the air. She called into the comlink. "Shadow some support would be really helpful right about now!"

"Acknowledge, I'll be there just keep him busy long enough for me to grab the president and then I'll assist you" He answers back.

"Better hurry, this beast is right on our tails, not kidding around here. Rouge out" She flew down and away from the track...With the creature at their snapping heels.

"Rouge" Tails told her "We got to get the collar off of it, that's what's making the guy act like that. It's not him."But she just sighs "I'm not so sure, there's no way to be certain it's not capable of doing this on it's own"

"That is true" The fox sighed to himself. "But at least if we can get it off..."

"We'll give it a shot alright?"

They hear a roar as the beast Sonic burst out from behind them. Rouge flaps her bat wings for a burst of speed and the chase raced though the streets.
