SuperSonic Speed- Chapter 6: A new beginning
* H-L-K is a "word" I use in place of a certain four-letter word. It's pronounced just how ya see it, Letter h, Letter, l, and Letter K.

Room 768- New Fork, New Fork Hotel

Sonic groaned loudly and opened his sore eyes. It wasn't only his eyes that were sore though, his whole body mercilessly ached. He laid there, mind running through the last things he remembered. He wondered why he wasn't dead, and didn't Robotnik say something about Mt. Marble erupting?
The blue hedgehog painfully sat up and observed the room. He took a look at the bed he was in, it was very plush, as was the rest of the room. He concluded that he had to be in a hotel room- albeit a very expensive room.
Two beds and a couch. Tails was on the other bed and someone he didn't recognize was on the couch, a lime green hedgehog. The fox and hedgehog were both asleep and the room was dark-- save for the massive amounts of light flooding into the room from the surrounding hotels. He somehow got to his feet and limped over (with the help of the wall) to the window. He had forgotten how beautiful Casino Night was at night. The last time he'd been there was when he was five. He'd always wished he could return- though not under these circumstances. Lights danced around in circular motions around the centers of the neon signs.
However, as beautiful as it was, it wasn't the same Casino Night that Sonic had visited in the past. This Casino Night carried the same feel of death and destruction as Metropolis had, and, Sonic realized, somewhere in the city, was a person feeling the same way as Sonic had when he was faced with the attack of Metropolis-- The feeling that his life was over and that he'd lost all he'd ever had. Little did the blue hedgehog know, that that person was less than ten feet away in the same room, sleeping on the couch.

"Sir, what is your next plan?" Shady asked.
"I plan on making another example to the world of my awesome power. Some would call it an act of terrorism. I look at it as an opportunity. I have managed to gather some SWATbots who are better programmed, and to top that off, I've equipped their feet with padding to make them stealthy as well." Robotnik revealed. "I plan to dump ALL of the oil from petron's refinery into the mobian ocean off of the western coast of the Easin continent so it will flow right into the Mobian continent's east coast. It will poison all sea animals."
"Sir, you are brilliant, however, I believe you might find it to your advantage Doctor, to start on project Silver immediately, you will surely have an easier time with the operation." Came Shady's reply.
"Hmm... Perhaps you have a point. Alright, but what type of creature will we need, Lieutenant?"
"Well, I said it was a silver sonic for a reason. This Sonic creature you have supposedly "executed" he happened to inherit a trait for extraordinary speed, I too possess the speed trait, but my speed limit isn't nearly as much
as Sonic's. Imagine what you could do with Sonic's speed!"
"Yes... But where are you going with this, Lieutenant?"
The malicious hedgehog smirked. "You know where I'm going with this, sir. And trust me, the results will be well worth it."

Back at Casino Night

In back of the buildings was a gargantuan monster. Not the Godzilla type of monster, the type of monster that threatens to annihilate all that lives near it: A volcano, or, more specifically, Mount Marble. It was pretty well camouflaged by the darkened night sky, but illuminated in a ghostly way by the city's neon lights.
However, the monster had been contained through a climate control system that "cut off it's anger"...
"...Wait a sec." Sonic remembered. "Someone altered the climate control, so that means..." Sonic well knew what it meant, it meant two words, too and late, and that was confirmed by the ear-shattering explosion and the presence of the monster's blood that seemed to come from nowhere, as the monster itself was invisible.
The green hedgehog and the fox all jolted awake and ran toward the window.
Sonic didn't notice their presence, the one thing he did notice was that he was in no danger at all, the mountain was flowing out of one side.
"That's mondo bizarro, but... Oh no!" Sonic shouted as he realized that if his parents had somehow survived the attack on his hometown, that they'd be killed by the lava.
"Whoa, Whoa kid, we're all gonna be fine." The lime hedgehog said, trying to calm Sonic.
"WE are gonna be fine, my parents in Metropolis, if they're alive, are majorly NOT gonna be fine." Sonic angrily responded.
"Okay, okay. Geez..."
"And seriously, who are you? For all I know, you could be one of Robotnik's assassins and trying to kill me."
"I am Robotnik's ex-lieutenant, Juke the Hedgehog."
"What!" Sonic yelled. He turned around and attempted to punch the lime creature. He was way too slow and Juke grabbed his hand in mid-air.
"You're lucky, kid. If I was still working for that jerk, I could hold you like this, pull out my blaster and cook you... Well done too." Juke added, and eyed the hedgehog's shoulder. "You got lucky there, you wouldn't have been so lucky now."
Sonic couldn't believe that he was face-to-face with the same person who had shot him, a female hedgehog. He felt nothing but anger towards her, even though she had called Robotnik a jerk.
He slapped his hand away and went to punch her again-- With the same result.
"Stop it Sonic!" Tails yelled.
"Stay outta this one Tails." Sonic replied.
"But she saved your life! Please stop!"
"Yeah, sure, the only life she'd save would be--"
"Actually, I did save your life, I bandaged your shoulder, reduced the pain in your shoulder, booked this room and I freed you and that other kid over there." Juke interjected.
Sonic looked stunned. "Okay... You shoot me and then you bandage my shoulder? I don't understand..."
"Robotnik killed my parents in this city's attack. I was fed up before, but this was the last straw. I didn't know what to do, I feel like I've lost everything, and in a way, I have. So I did whatever I could to cripple Robotnik's operation. I killed the climate control system and made Mount Marble erupt, and then I rescued you and split."
"Uh-huh... So, what do you plan on doing?" Sonic asked.
"Tagging along, I'm with you. I told you, I've lost everything, I need to start over, I need a new beginning. The question now is, What do YOU want to do?"
"I want to kill Robotnik, rip him into pieces and watch him bleed. He killed my parents too, Tail's parents was another victims, man I tell ya, what goes around is gonna come around, and I'm gonna see to it."
"Uh-uh, no chance. If he dies, his robots get activated against us and we all die."
"Oh yeah..."
"Plus, with that wimpy punch, you think you's gonna just walk up, say 'you killed my parents you dirty piece of h-l-k*, and now I'm gonna kill you, hi-ya!' No way. That will NEVER happen."
"So... what do we do?"
"We find a trainer.Teach ya how to punch, kick and survive. I know just where to find a good one too. He's the only survivor of an anciant tribe. Noone knows how they were wiped out. Legend has it that there was a huge earthquake. Whatever it did, it was done good, because now that island's floating in the sky." Juke explained.
"Whoa," Sonic gasped.
"The island is absolutely huge. It's so huge, if it was shaped just right, Robotnik could fit one of his huge flagship's on it. Imagine, with that size, and only one person on the whole island."
"Well, at least we wont have trouble finding the right guy."
"Yeah, but you'll have trouble finding the guy in the first place. ...Well, I guess that would be for most people, luckily I know where his hideout is."
"Well, at least something's gone good today."
"Don't jinx yourself kid, I heard he ain't to friendly, heck, even his name is creepy."
"Name? We actually KNOW who we're looking for? I think I'm gonna die."
"He goes only by... The Guardian."
"Oh, great, I thought we were getting a name, not an alias."
"That's not important now, kid. We all need to get some sleep. That kid over there was smart." She pointed behind her to the bed where Tails was.
"Yeah..." Sonic admitted.

"Lieutenant, are you sure this will work? You know I will not tolerate failure." Robotnik asked. The project was too good to be true. It would take a LONG time to develop. About 3 years the first time to make a single Silver Sonic. He needed to first develop the neuro chips, and then plan the wiring, and then how to encase the hedgehog without suffocating it. After it was done, he would have a super soldier and be ready to create a thousand more.
He could wait three years to take over the world if it meant little-to-no resistance. But boy, was Robotnik in for a huge awakening.
