A large chunk of ice was drifting through the empty vacuum of space, wandering through the nothing-ness for almost two hundred years. Well, space years anyway. As it drifted in its lone solitude, it finaly came into contact with something. That something was an atmosphere. The chunk of ice hurtled into the planet, the ice melting as another shape was lost in the crater that it made in Mobius' crust. It went about a thousand feet down into Mobius and the crater was easily several hundred feet wide. Yes, it was a terific thing, but what was more terific, was the shock it set off.
Tails and Winter were fast asleap, Tails on one side of his room, and Winter on the other. Tails rolled over and over in his sleap, muttering, "Oh Winter, your so beutiful..." It was if he was dancing with her in his dreams... Winter as well was having a nice dream, both of the fox's were out to a picknick in a meadow, surrounded by flowers, trees, and a large pond. Suddenly, a large boom was heard all through out Mobius, a sudden quake waking the two vulpines. Tails fell out of bed, face first with a 'thud' and woke emediatly. Winter suffered a similar fate as she fell out of her bed, but landed on her butt... "What was that Tails!?" Winter yelled as she crawled over to the golden fox and held onto his arm. "I don't know, but it can't be good. We should go check it out." He said, standing and helping the blue vixen to her feet as well. They walked down Tails' hallway and out the front door, locking it behind him. He and Winter turned around to see, what apeared to be a giant hole in the ground? Tails nodded and said, "I'll give you three guess' what made that shock." With a smirk.
It had been a peaceful walk down to the crater, it was definitly quiet at four A.M. in the morning. Both the fox's hands were intwined with each others, there tails doing something similar, but Tails had more controll, seeing as he had his namesake as an advantage. They had finaly arived near the crater when alot of familiar people came into view around the edge of the crater. "Looks like we arent the only early birds up this moring..." Tails said quietly to Winter. It turned out that Sonic, along with Knuckles, Amy, Rouge, and even... Was that Shadow?! Tails signald to Winter to please hury up, she got the message and they began to jog. "Hey everyone, whats going on?" Tails asked. Sonic turned and said, "I dunno buddy, but there is something strange with that thing." Sonic pointed down to the middle of the crater, a metalic object sticking out of the exact center. Tails made a quick analysis and said, "Im going to check it out. Winter, I would perfer you stay here for safety reasons, but your welcome to follow me, along with everyone else." He said, Winter just shaking her head. "I don't want you to leave me Tails." She said, hugging his arm. Tails only nodded and picked her up bridal style and flew down with her.
It turned out that everyone else had also wanted to join in on the expedition, yes, even Shadow. Tails was inspecting the object, thurowly checking over every visible spot of the metal. It was a steel looking greyish color with a red circular window that you could look through, though it was fogged up from the ice. It had a baseball style door to the front, but it looked likt it was locked from the inside. It took Tails about a minute, but he finaly came to the conclusion, "It's a space pod!" everyones eyes widened slightly to show more interest. "So your saying that some evil mutated alien could come out of that thing?" Amy said, hiding behind Sonic. "Yes, that is a posibility. But judging by how rusted and slightly damaged this thing is, I would say it came from an advanced race of furries, just like us." (A/N: Im sorry if you don't like the term 'furry' but this is how I will be refering to the Sonic team from now on.) Tails said, brushing off some of the dirt. While he did that, he uncovered a small, red button pad with strange markings on each one. "Hey, I found something!" He said, beconing to the group. "Let's see..." He started to press the buttons. "You onto something Tails?" Knuckles asked. "Shh, Shh, Im working..." He said, shooing with his hand. Knuckles just shrugged his shoulders. All of a sudden, there was a small 'ping' and the button pad glowed green. There was a flash from the inside of the ship, just a small white flash that nobody realy took notice of. Steam started to pour out from the outline of the 'door', everyone moving back some paces, said 'door' had started to open. It stuck forward a little, then opened up completely, revealing a silloueted figure in a sitting position on the inside.
Luckily, the ship was tilted backwards a little so the figure dident fall forwards. Everyone went to see inside, they were all curious as to what was inside the space pod. "Hang on, i'll get a light." Tails said, reaching for his... his... where ever the hell they put stuff 'pocket' and pulled out a flash light. He fliped the switch and shone the light inside to where everyone was surprised. Like Tails had guessed, it was another furry, just like them. This furry was a light blue wolf*, he was curled up with his head down, his tail covering most of his upper torso and legs. "Huh, he can't be to older than me." Tails said. Everyone looked puzzled, "Alright, so what do we do with him?" Rouge asked. Tails looked at the alien furry for a moment, then desided, "We'll take him to a hospital." He handed Winter the flash light, took him up bridal style as well and handed him over to Sonic. "You can get him there fastest Sonic. We'll catch up." Sonic nodded and rushed him to the hospital. Tails looked to Shadow, "Can you get us to the hospital?" Shadow nodded. He held up a chaos emerald, (A/N: He alwais has one, it's just Shadow.) and said, "Chaos Controll!" They were all at the hospital before they knew it.
Sonic dashed in through the hospital doors and up to the counter. "Excuse me, miss?" he asked the lady behind the counter. It was a young white cat about twenty one years old, right out of medical school. "Yes- Oh, it's Sonic the Hedgehog! What can I do you you Mr. Sonic?" She asked politly. "Why thank you, but you can call me Sonic. Anyway, my friends and I just found this guy... uh... Sitting on the sidewalk, we think he needs medical atention." Sonic said smoothly. "Oh, right away!" She picked up the phone on her desk and dialed four numbers in, getting a rather loud ring. "Doctor? Yes, we have a patient at the front desk. Alright, thank you." She hung up the phone. "The doctor will be here very shortly." She said. "Alright i'll guess i'll just take a se- I'M HERE!" Sonic was cut off by the booming voice of the Doctor. "Hello my name is Dr. Howards, where is my next patient?" He said, scoping out the room. "Wow, what an eager doctor." Sonic though as he looked on at the furry in the white coat. It was a rather tall Jaguar doctor. He had on the standard white medical coat, along with a black-T shirt and khaki pants. "Um, right here do- AH YES!" Sonic was again cut off by the booming voice of Dr. Howards. "Come now, come with me." He said, beconing to the blue pair. "Well, come on then! We havent got all morning have we?" He said with slight impatience in his voice. Sonic got up and carried the wolf down the hall with Dr. Howards. They were both silent until they reached the medical room when Dr. Howards started up a conversation. "So what did you say the condition of my patient was in when you found him?" He said, looking down at Sonic with his pearcing green eyes. "We uhh... Found him on the side walk about five minutes ago... He was just sitting there by himself." Sonic said, a little uneasy in the presence of the Doctor. Dr. Howards mearly nodded and just kept staring at Sonic, as if wanting him to do something... "Would you like me to leave, Dr. Howards?" Sonic asked. The Jaguar nodded slowly...
Shadow and the rest of the group arived at the hospital doors and walked in, Winter holding hands and staying near Tails. The group walked up to the main counter and Tails asked, "Has Sonic been through here already?" He asked the white cat at the desk. "Hm? Oh, Mr. Prower, yes he has. Dr. Howards is currently giving a diagnosis on the patient as we speak." She said with a bow to greet the furries. "Thank you..." Tails focused in on her name tag. "Michell." He said. "Um, where are Sonic and Dr. Howards?" He asked. Michell pointed down the plain white hallway, "Down the hall and to the right. Take the elevator to the second floor, and it's the first door across the hall on your left." She said. "Thank you." He said with a small bow. The group walked on until suddenly, Rouge's cell phone beeped. "Oh, hang on, I have a text message." She said. She read the message silently to herself and said, "Amy, I think you and I should check this out." She said. Amy tilted her head and raised her eyebrow, "What's up?" She said. "I just got a message from Dr. Robotnik, he wants us at the lab ASAP." She said, holding up her phone. Amy sighed, and with a small grone, she said, "Alright, let's go..." She said and walked off with Rouge. The three males and single female looked at each other for a moment and just shrugged, Winter trying to remember who Dr. Robotnik was... They walked on and turned round the corner to go to the stairs and elevator right in front of them.
"So Doc, what's the word?" Sonic said, sitting in a chair across the room from Dr. Howards and the unknown furry. "Well, it seem's that he's... Been thrown into forced sleep." He said, turning his green eyes twards the Hedgehog and pointing at him, "Did you have anything to do with this?" He said, his eye's narrowing. Sonic began to stuter and shiver in his seat, "N-no s-sir. I h-had n-n-nothing to d-do with h-him..." He said, holding onto the bottom of his chair. Just as the Doctor was going to say something, a knock was heard at the door. "Hm? Who's there?" Dr. Howards voice boomed beyond the door. "It's Tails, may I come in?" The golden fox said from behind the wooden door. "Yea, come on in Tails." Sonic said, glad to not be the only one in the room with the scary Jaguar. The group walked in to see Dr. Howards on one side of the room, Sonic on the other and the unknown furry on a bed near the Jaguar. Knuckles and Shadow emediatly took a seat near Sonic and started whispering with him. Tails and Winter had desided to stand, Tails quickly looked around the room to take in his surroundings. "So, whats the diagnosis with him?" Tails asked, pointing to the wolf. "He is in a state of forced sleep. I was questioning your friend there if he had something to do with his condition, seing as he was the one that brought him in." Dr. Howards said. Tails nodded and walked over to the furry, looking down on him with Winter. "He looks... Almost... Familiar, somehow..." Tails thought.
(A/N:This next part is kinda a flashback, but its more like the unknown furry is talking to someone in his head.)
"Tell me... How it all began..." A voice echoed in the furries mind. He was again, sitting in the same position he was in when he was found. All around him, there was nothing but darkness, the kind of darkness that gives a comforting warm fealing. This time, he had half lidded eyes, his iris' were a very beutiful shade of purple, the kind of shade you never forget. He sat there for some time, just sitting there, with his half lidded purple eyes. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out... It was as if he was mute. "Come on... You can do it." The voice said. Again, the furry tried to speak, still, no words... "Maby... you have forgotten... how to speak?" The voice said again. "It has only been... two hundred years..." The furry looked up with his half lidded eyes... He staired into the nothingness that was above him. "Has it realy been that long... Father?" He said. His voice was only met with silence. His head drooped again. "I was... running... running through... that field." He said, his eyes gaining a slight touch of sadness. "That field... you took me to... when I was little..." He remembered. "I was running from... those... monsters..." He said, gritting his teath slightly. "They... they chased me... chased me back to... back to... our house... they... they stole... mother..." He stopped, tears starting to run down his face... He sniffled once and continued. "You told me... to hide... you... told me... everything... would be alright!!" He stood, tears just flowing down his face and landing on the cold black ground. "You told me everything would be alright, just as you went to fight them! I waited, waited for so long... I waited for you to come back, I waited... for you to bring mother back to me..." He said, his hands balling into fists. "I waited, ten... long... years... you never came back. One of the monsters came to our house... it burned the house down... I managed to escape with my life. I was saved by a passing soldier... He took me to an escape ship where I could finaly leave that wreched planet... the place where... you left me and my mother." He said. He stayed silent for another while. "When we had escaped, they followed us out into space... they attacked an escaping vesell... I don't remember much about what happened after that..." He said, looking at his balled fist. "All I can remember is that someone shoved me into that escape pod and I was shot out into space. Not even five seconds after I had been saved, the entire ship was... destroyed... completely blown to pieces!" The tears had come back to him. "Everyone on that ship... completly gone forever... I tried hard not to look at the ship. It was so painful... all those people!" He stopped again and gritted his teath... "DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT KIND OF A HELL YOU LEFT ME IN FATHER?!" He screemed to the nothing that was all around him. Again, he sat in his featle position... The darkness fading along with himself...
(A/N: We return to the outside world.)
Tails was still staring at the blue wolf, fox, thing... sudenly, his pants started to vibrate. "Huh?" Tails looked down and reached into his pocket. It was a cell phone! "But I don't... Rouge!" He said. He fliped it open and greeted the caller. "Tails, it turns out we need more help than Dr. Robotnik thought! Come right away, and bring the rest of the team." She said and hung up. Tails only put the cell phone back in is pocket and turned around to face the rest of the group. "Rouge Amy and Dr. Robotnik need our help, lets go. Doctor, can we leave him in your hands?" He said. "Of course, what kind of Doctor do you take me for?" Dr. Howards said, crossing his arms. "Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. Thanks again Doctor!" Tails said, walking out of the room with everyone. Once they got outside, Tails whispered something to Shadow and he nodded. Shadow mumbled 'chaos control' and was gone in his small green flash. "Where did Shadow go?" Knuckles asked. "To take a shower and get dressed. Sorry guys, we all need one." Everyone in the group lifted thier arm, sniffed and just shrugged. "We'll meet back up at Dr. Robotnik's lab, alright?" Tails said, everyone nodded. "Alright, Winter yo come with me and... Yea?" Knuckles had grabbed Tails' shoulder. "Um... Where is a shower?" Tails sighed. "Alright, you guys can take a shower at my house." And they walked back to Tails' house.
"Man, he's one tough cookie!" Amy said, trying to swing her hammer faster. "Your right, he's to strong." Rouge said, as she kicked and missed. "Just hold him off for a little longer. I think I can mess up his circuitry!" Dr. Robotnik said, trying to 'mess up his circuitry' with a watch similar to the one her gave Tails on his eigth birthday. A lazer found it's way directly to the watch. "Son of a gun!" The Doctor yelled. "Everything we try fails! He's to much for-" Rouge was cut off by the impact of a puch to the face. She was launched almost directly into Dr. Robotnik. "Rouge!" He said, next, Amy was flung into the good Doctor. "Amy!" He yelled again. Suddenly, there were metalic footsteps coming twards Dr. Robotnik. "Please, don't hurt me. I built you!" It dident respond. It just kept walking twards him. "Please, I beg you, i'll give you anything you want." It finaly stopped infront of him, its cold red eyes pearcing the stillness of the ruined lab. "Bring me Sonic."
