Wow, I forgot to update this story too! I'm really sorry people, I've been busy. I recently got a deviantART account (Ciel-Hedgehog over there), and I've been busy trying to make some character pics. I'll try to do some of the characters from this soon (like the twins, Eggman echidna, maybe Ghost and Mech, etc), but I cannot guarantee anything.

The underground base was completely quiet. It was five a.m., and the sun outside had not yet risen. A pin dropped on the cold metal floors could easily be noticed at the current level of volume, which didn't really concern anyone. Eggman was coming up with his scheme for breaking into Cybex Capital (with Mech's reluctant help), the other robots were off doing the doctor's errands, and the other three hedgehogs were in their rooms.

In the room Akumu and Yume shared, the twins were both peacefully asleep. They had been away from home less than a week, and they were already running from the law. That, added to the fact that there had not been many opportunities to rest, left them quite tired.

The door to their chamber silently opened. A small black figure hovered over to the bunkbed the twins were sleeping in, grinning. Hovering a few feet away, the figure took a deep breath, and…

"WAKE UP!" Yelled Bokkun, who was the black figure himself. The twins bolted right up at the sudden outburst, with Yume accidentally hitting her head on the bottom of the top bunk.

"What was that for?" Yume asked, glaring at the minute robot. Bokkun floated back away a little at the sight of the death-stare.

"Ermm, Eggman wanted you two to see him about the plans," Bokkun explained, "and I figured it would be too much of a hassle to try waking you up nicely."

"You just wanted to scream," Yume grumbled as she tugged the bed covers. "Can't the old man wait an hour or two?"

"He says its really important!" The delivery-bot cried. "If you don't go right now, he is going to be steamed! And guess who he's going to take it out on? Either you or me! So I say you get over there right now, or we'll both have it!"

"Cool it pipsqueak, we're going," Akumu assured him, using his wings to fly off the bed to the floor. "Yume is just a grump in the morning."

"I am not a grump," Yume retorted, bopping her brother on the shoulder as she got up as well. "I just don't like being disturbed so early in the morning, that's all." The white hedgehog motioned towards the door. "Alright Boke, show us the way."

"It's about time you arrived," Eggman pointed out as the twins entered his lab. Similar to the ones in his previous bases, this room was chocked full of robots, mechanical parts, and even more blueprints. Akumu stared in awe at the collection, but Yume just yawned.

"Can we get this over with?" Yume asked impatiently. "I'd like to get the talking over with now, so we can get to the actual mission."

"You'll just have to wait for me to explain it to you," The cyborg replied back. "We'll just have to wait a minute for…oh Ghost, you've arrived. Excellent, now we can begin." Ghost had just entered the laboratory, his blank face as emotionless as ever. As far as either of the twins could tell, the gray hedgehog was paying more attention to the blueprints than Eggman.

"So then, now that everyone is present," Eggman noted, "I shall explain what our plan is…"

Eggman continued to explain his "brilliant plan" in great detail, making sure the twins understood every single word. Ghost, however, was not paying attention whatsoever. It wasn't too difficult of a concept, Eggman was just over exaggerating it and it's importance. Ghost, however, was looking at the robots and blueprints that cluttered the lab.

As he looked around, one particular machine caught his eye. The body of it was like a round seat, with laser guns positioned on the side. Attached below the weapons was a pair of bipedal legs, and a miniature missile launcher was positioned on the back. It seemed familiar somehow, but he didn't know why.

An image of the machine came into his head, except it was somewhere else. A giant machine-like place, though not the base. A large, rotund human with goggles and a bushy mustache rode the vehicle, the man sporting a bright red and black suit. He was talking to someone…the image was unclear…

Eggman, in the Egg Walker, spoke a voice in his head, though he did not know how he knew. The image would explain the nickname, but Ghost didn't remember seeing Eggman as a human before. The gray furry tried to cal up the image again, but it was already out of his grasp.

"I wonder who the doctor was talking to," Ghost thought, "and what that place was. Why can I not remember anything?" The hedgehog was suddenly aware he had just been asked a question. "Pardon?"

"I asked you if you were at all proficient with weapons," Eggman asked. "We are going to need them for our invasion of Cybex. You can't rely on Chaos Magic alone, now can you?"

"I believe I can probably use a weapon for the purposes of the invasion," was Ghost's reply.

"Good then, because we are going to need all the firepower we can get." Eggman resumed his talking, while another image came into Ghost's head. A swarm of aliens, and human men in suits. Most of them were armed, and the sky above was blood red. Surrounded by a ruined city, and there was only one thing to do…fight.

As quickly as the image before, this one faded back into Ghost's memories before he could understand it's meaning. Not sure if he wanted any more visions, Ghost proceeded to listen to the rest of Eggman's speech.

Okay now, there were some hints to Ghost's identity if you were paying attention (which I hope you were). One person has already figured it out, and another is pretty close, as far as I know (Toni and Play14). If anyone else figures out who it is, don't say it in a review. I don't want it to be fully revealed until later, alright? Thank you, have a nice week! I'll try to update soon!
