Now on to the chapter two.
Chapter 2: The Thin Line
I have no idea how this happened, no nothing, I mean how did this happen, is it the name? Yeah it's gotta be the name, or my parents, yeah it's them; I mean who names their kid Sonic! Am I some experiment or a monster? But one thing I do know is that I'm freakin fast! I ran around the nature park 30 times, I could do whatever I want, though I have no idea how to go back to human, maybe if I focused really hard, come on make me human make me— oh no not that feeling again! I fell to my knees groaning in pain, I started to notice that I was getting taller, and that it got really cold out.
"Yes, I'm back to normal," I looked down, "and I'm naked… great."
I had to think of a way to get out with out anyone noticing me, so I walked for a little bit realizing that the nature park was totally empty, where is everyone? It should be open by now.
I reached the gate to see police cars parked outside, and then I noticed that there were policemen everywhere, with dogs out and guns in their hands.
"Ok, there's no way he's getting out, spilt up and bring him in!"
I can't believe they sent cops to find me, why would they? Wait… oh right, I heard on the news that a very dangerous killer was seen in the Nature Park, that's good, they're not after me… but there is a killer in here! I quickly ducked behind a tree to avoid being seen, I had to think very carefully; I could go to the police, get on the news as a naked teen, but then they would ask questions on why a teen was naked in the Nature Park. Or, I could run further into the park, have a fifty-fifty chance of running into a very dangerous and crazy killer… this is a hard one… fifty-fifty is a good chance.
I turned away from the police and started to run, kinda wishing that I was still that fast blue Hedgehog. Though I was putting some distance between me and the police officers, I stopped to catch my breath, I turned my head and saw a gift shop that had a giant hummingbird on the top of the building, there was a cardboard sign that had a button on it and if you pressed the button it says 'come now, come and see all the great things we have at the gift shop!'
I looked to see if any of the police had made it this far yet, luckily there was none so I made a dash to the door opened it, (which was odd, you would think they would have a lock on this thing). I stepped in and stopped, letting my eyes get used to the dark, once I did I moved to where some clothes would be; I picked up a yellow hoodie with a mockingbird on it, and these funny looking pants with a butterfly on it (which I swear was girl pants,). However I stopped as I heard foot steps from behind me.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" said a cold voice.
I turned around to see a man, with a white sleeveless T-shirt, blue jeans, a goatee (that really needed a shave,) dark skin, oh and he was twilling a large knife around.
"You shouldn't have come in here." He grinned, pointing his knife at me.
He rushed forward, swinging his knife at me. I side stepped out of the way, then made a mad dash across the store, the man right behind me. I knew I was going to die if I didn't think of anything fast, but then I saw it; a broom closet! I jumped in the broom closet, slammed it shut, took a broom, and bared the door with it.
"Unlock the door kid, and this will end faster!" He yelled, as he kicked the door with his foot.
I racked my brains for an idea, and I found one. Now normally I wouldn't have done this, but my options were thin right now; I bent down to the floor and focused: come on turn me into super fast hedgehog, now! Soon after I felt that same sick feeling from before, I felt my body shrink in size and saw my skin turn blue. It worked, and just in time too: Then the door swung open, the man held knife ready to slice me, although instead of seeing a teen huddling under some brooms, he got a blur of blue, followed by 20 hits in the gut, and an uppercut that knocked him to the floor.
I found a rope and tied it onto his waist; I hung the rope on the rafters so that the police would find him. Then before anyone could walk in, I sped off, a grin on my face; I could do anything I want with these powers, anything…
Soon after I returned back home I had to explain why I was missing for three hours, (it was not that hard, all I said was 'some guy trapped me in a locker' which happens on a daily basis.) After that I went up to my room, took a shower, laid on my bed, then I fell asleep around ten a clock. Dreaming of all the things I could do tomorrow.
I awoke the next day, feeling the greatest I have ever felt in years. I walked down the stairs with a skip in my walk, all the way to the kitchen where my Mom and Dad were sitting at the table, drinking their morning coffee. I stepped past them, opened the fridge door, pulled out a bottle of orange juice, and poured it into a glass then sat down with them.
"Hurry up and finish you breakfast, I have to take you to school and your Mom has a big case at Court house," my dad said as he put down his coffee.
"Actually, I was hoping I could walk to school," I asked, quickly taking a drink of my orange juice.
"Well, if you really want to I guess, but stay away from the alleys," my mom warned.
I grabbed my backpack, said my goodbyes, walked outside, and ran behind my house and ducked down so no one saw me. Then I quickly took off my clothes I started to concentrate; come on, turn me into Sonic, I stopped, realizing that I was already 'Sonic' and decided to correct myself, the hedgehog.
I didn't even have to focus much this time, and the pain was less intense, and soon I shrunk in size, turned blue, and had a tail. Soon after that I got up, packed my clothing in my backpack, and I made sure no one was around before trying something that has been on my mind; I crouched low and propelled myself in the air, just like yesterday when I jumped over those guards. I made it to the rooftop and landed neatly, then I looked at the other building ahead of me and another idea popped up. I took a step back, ran forward and leaped in the air; I landed on the roof in front of me and grinned. I looked at the next building and leaped on that too, pretty soon I was hopping on the rooftops of the city. Before I turn back to normal there are couple things I want to do, I thought, remembering on how I was bullied everyday, now it's their turn.
I landed on the school rooftop and waited for a school bus to arrive, soon the bus came up and everyone got off it, though I didn't see Sora with them. Oh well, I'll give his buddy a little extra torment, I thoughtThey had just made some poor victim pant less when I ran through at lighting speed, gave one of the guys a wedgie, knocked the other into a pile of mud, and then gave the kid back his pants. I moved at lightning speed, I was pretty sure no one saw me (at least I don't think anyone did.)
By the time I had turned back to being Sonic Suai, everyone was laughing at the bullies I tormented as I walked by to get into the school, though you would not believe the things I can do like; get a look at the test answers or sneaking into… places. Anyway, I started walking down the hall to lunch, when I noticed there was a bunch of students and teachers watching the TV, as if something big were happening. I pushed my way past some students to see what was happening, what saw made my eyes widen.
Just ten minutes ago the District Courthouse's security system went off, someone or something has broken in and knocked out two guards, so far there are no known fatalities.
I looked closely at the screen and felt my jaw drop, there was a red animal going into the court house doors, a red animal! Could it be a coincidence? I mean, just as I turned into Sonic the Hedgehog there is also someone like me? But then I realized something much more important when I realized what courthouse that was: my Mom is in there! It felt like it was getting harder to breath, my legs were shaking as terrible thoughts rushed through my head, could she be in danger, could she be dead!? I hope the police can help her in time! Wait a minute… I have these powers, I can save her myself!
This was more important than getting revenge, or fulfilling every dream I ever had, this was my mom in trouble. I won't let her get hurt, not as long as I have the powers of the fastest thing alive, Sonic the Hedgehog. I turned around and ran for the exit, opened the door and started to run. Sure I could've turned into Sonic and be there like lightning, but there were way too many people here, and my rep was bad enough for me to be a nudist.
After awhile of running I gave up and decided to take a bus (Ironic, I'm part time Sonic the Hedgehog, and I need to take a bus to get where I need to go), after awhile I made it to the courthouse and I pondered on what to do; now if I want to get in there it's time to turn to my alter ego; Sonic the Hedgehog! God I'm a dork.
I ran into an alley and started to undress, though it was hard with all those people muttering behind me. Then I froze, please tell me there is no one behind me, however when I turned around there was an elderly couple, staring at me with horrified looks.
"Hi there, um, watch tonight's football game; it's going to be great," I chuckled, feeling my cheeks flame up.
They gave me a look of disgust and left, so I quickly got undressed and proceeded to transform. When I finished I put my clothes in my backpack, hid it under a trash can, and then ran off.
I ran around some News Reporters, jumped on a police car, and then leaped onto the courthouse roof. Unfortunately my sneaky entrance didn't work out; I heard a bunch of people yelling at me, a quick glance over my shoulder proved that there were cameras pointing at me. But I didn't care, if my Mom was in there I had to get in there fast. I walked along the roof until I reached a skylight; I looked through it to see everyone on the floor, my Mom hiding under a desk. Then I saw the animal from the news, it was indeed colored red, but it also had white gloves with two spikes on each of them, a long brown nose, red hair that went below his shoulders, oh, and he was holding a perfectly shape emerald that was blue. I took a step back, leaped in the air and crashed through the skylight; the glass fell to the floor around me as I landed across from the red animal. He turned his head and when his eyes fell on me he froze, he seemed to be shocked at seeing someone much like himself.
I stood up and laughed, "Hey 'Knuckles', it's me Sonic."
The animal raised an eyebrow at me, "What are you talking about you blue rodent? My name is Dart."
"Yeah, well, I don't even care if you're the princess of wackoville," I growled, "I'm not going to let you hurt these people!"
"You fool," Knuckles (or Dart if you prefer) frowned, "If you understood what I'm trying to do then—,"
"Enough!" I yelled, dashing towards him, slamming my fists on him.
He fell back a few feet and smirked, apparently something about my attack was funny.
"Well Sonic, I guess you're not just going to let me go?" I shook my head to answer him, all he did was smirk, "That's good too you know, because I can get really board by just hitting around humans."

He ran up and swung he fists at me, I dodged the first one but the other one nailed me in the gut. I flew backwards and landed right into a chair, I got up and groaned.
Dang, that hurt a lot more then Sora's fists, I thought, getting back on to my feet.
I ran up to him and we both got into a fist fight, none of us getting any hits on each other, but during that fist fight we failed to see the helicopters flying above the building. They were letting out men with full body armor on, they had large machine guns, and on there helmet was the letter G. Not to mention the large amount of men outside the court house.
The captain of the team walked up to one of his soldiers, "What's the status?"
"It seems that… two animals are fighting," the soldier scratched his head.
"So, why were we called here? Couldn't they have just called animal control?" The general asked, looking at the court house.
"Come here sir," he walked the general to a tent, and turned a monitor on, the monitor relayed pictures from a spy camera one of the soldiers were holding over the broken skylight.
It showed two animals fighting each other; one was blue, and the other red.
The solider cleared his throat, "These aren't ordinary animals; they can talk, stand on two legs, and fight like humans."
Ok Sonic, quick review: I kicked him into a desk and I thought it would work, but it only seemed to just make him really angry. However, I think if I can get one more hit on him he'll go down.
I ran to him, ready to land the finishing blow, but he jumped up and grabbed my fist, blocking my attack. He was about to hit me in the face when the door was kicked open, then men rushed in holding large guns.
"Stun them, we want them alive!" A man yelled.
As he yelled that five more men jumped from the window and landed right behind us, they aimed and squeezed the triggers of their guns. But instead of bullets, beams of light shot at us, the two of us jumped behind a desk, narrowly avoiding the lasers.
I looked at him and asked, "Temporary truce?"
He grinned at me, "Sure."
We shook hands, though he was squeezing my hand very hard, "Hey, you know a hand shake can tell a lot about an animal… oh."
Before I knew it he threw me over the desk, I landed with a loud crash as Knuckles (or Dart) broke through the wall and ran away.
"You chase after the red animal!" A soldier ordered as he took out a walkie-talkie, "We have one of them and are in pursuit of the other."
They roughly pulled me to my feet and were about to handcuff me, when I saw the emerald that he was holding. I don't know what made me do this, but I broke free of their grasps and grabbed the Emerald. Just as I grabbed the emerald it shined for a minute, then a small blue light arose from the emerald. It floated around me as the soldiers rushed for me, just when they were about to grab me they faded away, and everything went white.
That's it, and yes Knuckles is Dart just with a different name, anyway advice and comments are wanted flames are not.
Congratulations to all the reviewers who made their guesses, and congrats to Faermage-KH Junkie for guessing Knuckles.
