Disclaimer: I do not own Sonic the Hedgehog as if I need to say.

Ladyamalphia: Background music, play music, it doesn't matter to me; it's just the song that would have gone on.

NUTCASE71733: snicker maybe, who knows?

The Conflicted Writer: Albert Robotnik is in fact Doctor Eggman, though I didn't want the announcer to say, 'come up here Doctor Eggman' it would be weird. The His World I used was the original.

Northern-megas: Yes Sonic is going to try to become a hero, let's just hope his luck is better then most. Thanks for reviewing!

Count X. Gamlxltoe: Thanks for the review, dude.

Shimohi Inferno Tiger: Yes they did get the emerald, so score one for the good guys!... You read it two times? And you only found one, wipes forehead, ok good, less mistakes.

Faermage-KH Junkie : Oh yes.

Theredone1223: Who know maybe both, maybe none of them… Now I will laugh with you, clears throat, Bmhahahahahaha!

Edited by Michael, my betaread computer crashed so Mike did this chapter, so thanks.

Chapter 12: Everything is falling apart.

"What!?" Yelled Doctor Robotnik as he slammed his fists down onto the table.

The General smiled and repeated, "You are off the project."

"Why?" Asked a very frustrated man, "I got Sonic's blood, I've covered up for the missing boy; you can't take me off this!"

"You did, but you had your men fire while citizens were still in firing range," the General clicked a button and the TV that was mounted on the wall flipped on.

It showed G.U.N soldier's firing as people hid under tables, or ran for their lives.

Gerald scratched his grey mustache, "We are don't like your tactics, putting people in danger… We don't have much of a choice."

Doctor Robotnik eyes glowed with bright red energy, he looked at the General straight in the eyes, "fine, I'll leave."

Doctor Robotnik turned around and walked away from the two, smiling to himself.

I'll head back to New York, and catch Sonic myself!

20 Days till present day…

I got up from my bed, rubbed my burns from tumbling everywhere, and sighed, man I am not cut out for this job… I stepped downstairs and called out for my Mom or Dad, none of them answered.

"They must have left…" I walked to the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge.

'Sonic, take out the trash before you go to school,' Greaaat, trash day…

After I got into some nicer clothes, I grabbed all the trash cans in the house and pulled them to the end of my driveway, dumping each can into the trashcan. I was going to head back into the house when I noticed a piece of paper; it was labeled with my parent's hospital, it read.

Blah, blah, word I don't understand, expecting, blah, there that word again, blah, nine months, blah, blah, baby…. Wait a minute!
"Baby?! That can't be!!" I yelled causing everyone who was in hearing range looked at me, with a confused expression, I gave nervous smile and walked back in the house.

I shut the door and read it again and asked myself, when were they planning on telling me? I couldn't think too long on this subject because I could hear the bus pull up. I ran out the door and into the bus, there I looked for my friends and I saw them sitting in the back of the bus. I walked back and sat down.

"Hey guys," I said, I groaned a bit in pain when I sat down.

"Hey Sonic, is something wrong with you?" Amy asked as she studied my distressed face.

I went through some possible lies I could tell them, "Let's just say that I think I need a new mattress."

"Oh," Amy said as she leaned back into the seat.

I leaned back in my chair; I could feel the hot air heat me up till I felt like dozing off.

I could feel the bus come to a halt, I was nudged awake by Miles and we walked out of the bus, watching everyone else get ready for school. Bullies picking on the middle school kids, I adjusted my backpack and walked to school with my friends.

Inside the school was as busy and as loud as the school bus, a bunch of people were moving tables into the school gym for tonight.

"I can hardly wait for tonight," Amy clapped her hands in joy, while I cringed at the idea of it.

"So Sonic, are you going with Lois?" Maria asked as she crossed her arms.

"I don't know, maybe," I replied as my mind still wonder to my own family problems.

"Sonic?" asked an almost surprised voice came from behind me, I turned to see Lois, she was almost surprised to see me standing here.

"Hey," I replied, with a slight smile.

She walked over to me, and asked, "What are you doing here?"

I looked at her oddly and replied, "It's a school day right?"

"Well, yes," she said realizing what a stupid question she asked, she looked to be no longer confused, "I'm sorry, anyway have you decided?"

I scratched the shoulder I was shot on, also noticing that scratching my bullet wound has become a new habit of mine, I dismissed that thought and replied, "Yeah I did, what time do you want me to come?"

I could hear from behind me a huge gasp of surprise from all three of my friends, though she smirked almost evilly.

"Seven o'clock," she turned and walked away.

I turned and looked at my friends, Amy was glaring at me, Miles mouth hung low, but then quickly turned away from me, and Maria was glaring at me so much that I looked away myself.

"I hope you have fun tonight, Sonic," Maria turned away, leaving me feeling like crap, and I really didn't know why.

After school the first thing I did was try to talk to my friends, the only one I could get a hold of was Miles.

"Hey what happened, why are you all mad at me?" I asked as we walked home.

He fixed his glasses, and said with almost grim voice, "Sonic you can be so stupid."

I looked in surprise of what he said, he didn't wait for me to say anything he just continued, "How could you not see when someone actually likes you?!"

"But, uh, I said yes," I replied, cringing for my lack of words.

"Lois doesn't really like you," he said looking up to me.

"Huh?" I asked

"You know what, forget it," at that Miles left me, standing in shock.

I returned to my house, my Mom and Dad sitting at the table, I would have asked them about the letter but I was just a bit… surprised really.

When I reached my room, I sat down and thought a lot about what happened today, I don't get it, why don't they want me to be happy? Are they jealous or something?

"Here," I made a turn to the voice that had interrupted my thoughts, standing there was Tikal and Dart.

She tossed me the red emerald, I felt a quick jolt of energy, I shook it of and looked at them.

"How did you get here?" I asked as I sat the emerald down on my bed.

"We warped," Tikal replied as she walked across my dirty room.

"Ah, right," I said as I got up and picked up some weeks old clothes.

"How it go last night?" Dart asked as he deiced to not move.

"Not good, they knew we were coming, how?" I asked as I threw the clothes into a hamper.

"That Albert guy, when I picked up the emerald I got some of his memories," Dart shivered, "It looks like someone knows about you."

I remembered the note I got a couple days back, I sat down, almost thinking about taking off my white gloves and seeing the memories myself, but then I remember they would store my own memories, "Ah, I had a bad feeling about that…"

"Yeah, anyone you know who might have just taken an interest in you or something?" Tikal asked as she sat on my bed.

I couldn't move, I was a bit nervous, I didn't want them to know, I mean what were the chances?

"No, no I haven't," I answered a bit too quickly, making them stare at me doubtfully.

"Uh huh, anyway we came here to give you the emeralds, we want you to hold onto them," Dart reached into his pocket and threw a bright green emerald to me.

"Keep them safe," Dart said as Tikal got up and walked to him.

"Bye, Sonic take care," she said before yelling Chaos Control and warping off.

I didn't let what they said get to me, I put on the suit I had on before and left.

I knocked on the door to Lois's house, I was being stupid, I should have turned around and ran away there, I didn't, and she answered the door.

"Hey, Sonic," She answered the door with a smile when she saw me, "come in please."

I stepped in, the house was very bland, looks like no one really lives here too much, there was a TV, a couch for what I could see.

"Hey Sonic could you grab my coat by the couch?" She asked, I said yes and walked over.

I grabbed the coat but when I left it up, something fell out, I picked up to see… It was a gun! Not just a gun, it was the gun that shot me!

I turned slowly to her, fear, rushing from head to toe, she sighed and pulled out another gun and pointed it at me.

"Sorry, Sonic," I froze, couldn't move, all I could do was watch her aim her gun.

"Sonic, move!" I heard a voice yell in my head I thought it was the voice of Michael, I jumped out of the way just as the bullets whizzed by me.

Then everything Dart taught me rushed back into my head, I ran over, dodging one more bullet, and then kicked the gun out of her hands. She looked back at me surprise of how I just did that, I smirked at as I got back into a battle stance.

She unsheathed a long, thick knife, and held it in front of her; I put out my hands out knowing what to do if something like this happens, she jabbed the knife forward, I quick-stepped to the right and grab her hand, twisting it making her drop the knife.

I hate fighting a girl, but I can't hesitate or she will put a bullet in my head.

Next with her arm I flipped her to the ground, holding her so that she couldn't move.

"How- how can you fight like that?" She asked as I tied her hands up with something like looked like a rope.

"I'm a super hero, it kinda comes in the job description," I said as I got up, "Now why did you just try to kill me? No better yet why were you after that chaos, thing?"

"I won't tell you," she laughed, making me mad.

"Fine then," I said as I reached for my cell phone.

"Are you going to call the police? Do you think they are really going to believe you?" She pointed out, and I smiled.

"No, I won't have what it takes to get the info out of you, but I know someone who will," I flipped open it and acted like I dialed Dart's phone number, hoping she didn't know that I really didn't have his number.

"Hey, Dart, I got her, yeah just as you thought…Yeah she won't tell me…. Ok seeya in a bit, I'll start digging the hole," I said as I shut the cell phone and walked to the door.

"Wait, wait what are you doing!?" She asked as I dug around for a shovel.

"You know, I don't like it when people don't tell me what I want," I said, begging that this plan would work.

"Wh- what do you want to know?" She asked as I pulled out a shovel.

I smiled, it worked! "Why did you want to kill me?"

"I was being paid to, I had to bring you to him, dead or alive," she said as I threw down the shovel.

"Who asked you," I growled out.

"Someone from G.U.N, his name was, Albert Robotnik," she said as I back up in surprise.

"Robotnik!?" I yelled out, I couldn't believe it, but I had to get more out, "Why?"

"Some project, I don't know what," she said as I got closer.

"Yes you do, now what?" It looked like I had it, then she smiled. Smiled?

"You just walked into a huge mistake," my eyes widened as I saw her finger on some button, just then the door broke open, I turned fast to see a bunch of people in black armor.

I jumped out of the way as one opened fire on me, I ducked behind a table.

"Man I did not think this through," I coursed as I could feel bullets whiz by me.

I flipped the emerald in my hands and jumped out from the table, "Chaos Gale!"

I could feel the power well up as a huge gust of wind shot past me, sending everyone flying into walls, I look to were I tied her up to see she was gone.

"Damn, I lost my chance," I cursed as I walked outside, my body still glowing blue, I could see the men who I sent flying climbing up ladder into the helicopter. It wasn't a G.U.N helicopter, what was it?

"Open fire" I heard one of them say from the helicopter, as it turned and pointed it's guns at me.

They opened fire, people screaming and running, I stood there, the bullets falling to the ground as they hit me.

"How the hell is he blocking that!?" I wish I knew, I just felt this massive power in me, "I'm going to fire the missiles!"

Two slots on the helicopter opened up and fired two missiles at me. I smiled, and jumped up at them, the wind the fallowed me batted the missiles away into the sky, blowing them up in air, next I waved my hand sending one more guest of wind, sending the helicopter spiraling backward, I watched them gain control and fly off.

I landed on the ground, the power leaving my body, I looked at myself, I was a human during everything that just happened.

People started clapping, I looked around in panic, they were going to see me, I threw my jacket over my face and ran as fast as my human legs could take me. I could hear the police closing in, as I rounded the corner to the school.

I looked back to see if they were fallowing me, luckily no, I ran into the school, just in case. I walked in the school, music pounding through the walls, I slammed the door shut and fell down.

I can't be caught, I groaned and walked slowly into the dance room, people dancing, talking, and drinking the punch, I could blend in here for a bit then when everything cools down I can get back home.

I walked around everyone, people looked at me funny, maybe it was the smell of smoke from the helicopter, or it was the fact that I looked like I just came from cleaning a chimney.

I sat down, feeling very stupid; I closed my eyes as I could here some people talk about me.

"Sonic?" I looked up to see Maria Robotnik, she was wearing just about the same thing from last night.

"Hey," I said as I looked away.

"You look, nice," she said trying not to choke on the smell.

"I've had a bad day…" I sigh putting my hand to my shoulder.

"Do you want to talk about it," Maria asked sitting next to me.

"Not really, I just, want to…" I looked at the stage in shock, "Is that Sora?"

"Yeah… I didn't know he could sing," she said almost as confused as I was.

I watched Sora sing, and play guitar, man I can do the coolest thing in the world, and I can't tell anyone… I thought, maybe being a bit jealous to Sora.

"So, want something to drink?" She asked trying to get of the subject of Sora.

"Yeah, sure," I said and got up, "I'll get them."

She pulled me down to the seat, "No offense, but you smell like you just came from a gun fight."

I nodded and sat down; Maria got up and walked to get the drinks.

The night past by so fast, we talked till everyone went home. I felt safe to go out, so I walked her home, we said are goodbyes, and I walked home.

I don't know what it was, when I got near my house there was this, sad, depressed feeling around it, I stepped in, the lights were on I could hear my parents talking, with someone else?

I walked in to see a very big man, police officer, he had very dark skin, brown eyes, and no hair, "I wish I didn't have to tell you this…"

He turned around, eyeing me for a moment and walked past me. My Mom was crying in her hands, my Dad looked to be fighting back tears.

"Mom, Dad, what happened?" I asked.

My Mom wiped her eyes and hugged me, "I'm sorry, but, but…"

She couldn't finish what she was going to say, she backed away. My Dad walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder, "Last night the police found Michael."

I smiled, "Why are you crying this is good! Right?"

"Sonic, they found him dead…" My heart dropped, I felt like I was going to throw up, "he was in a coma, someone must have dropped him in the road…"

"Where, where did they find him?" I asked anger now filling my sadness.

"In Kansas, right next to were we lived…" My Dad couldn't take it anymore, he said something about 'he should have been there' I just fell to the floor, not blinking, just these words of guilt fell in my head, 'I could have helped him, I could have saved him…'

That's it, man this chapter was hard to write, not to mention that the power went out for four days from the hurricane gusts, totally ruined my inspiration. We got lucky, Ohio got there power back first. Anyway please comment on this chapter, tell me what I did wrong, and ideas are always welcome.
