The fog slowly covered what was once a beautiful overlook of the ocean into a dark and gray look of the mystic sea. "Why do I always come here if there's nothing to see anymore?" Flash asked himself. "Well I better get home, I don't want to get in anymore trouble with the robot security anymore." Flash said as he got up and ran home to his house.
It had been about eight years since Sonic was killed by the hands of Eggman. After Sonic was given a proper burial, Eggman began to take over the land. Everyone tried to fight back, but Eggman had grown stronger and more intelligent, until eventually people gave up on fighting. Everyone now had to work as slaves in Eggman's factories, and if you disobeyed, you were whipped near to death.
It was hard for Flash to grow up in this time, because he was Sonic's son, he was usually given beatings for no reason, and given long and harsh work in the generator room, running while having electricity being jolted through him constantly to try and keep the backup power going. Flash never did remember his father, nor did anybody talk about him that much anymore.
While Flash ran home, he looked and saw all of the industrial plantation in disgust and thought of what the land looked like before it was taken over. It was at that time that he began to wonder about his father. "I wish my dad was here, he would know what to do." Flash said to himself as he approached his mother's house and entered inside.
"Mom, i'm home!" Flash yelled. "Oh, welcome home sweetie." Amy, Flash's mom, turned around from the kitchen and went to hug little Flash. "Mom." Flash whined. "Sorry, i'm just glad to see that you're safe, you never know what that filthy no good son of a." "Mom i'm fine, really" Flash interrupted. "And look, the scar I got from the beating last week is already starting to heal." Flash showed the purple wound on his arm to his mother, which horrified her.
"Mom, I wanted to ask you something." Flash said. Amy was trying to catch her breath from Flash's wound and replied back. "Sure Flash, what is it?" "I was wondering if you could tell me about my dad?" Flash asked. Amy began to tremble in fear and was trying to hold back her tears. "Flash, sit down for a minute, i'll finish our supper and i'll tell you everything." Amy replied. Flash nodded and sat down on the chair and waited patiently for his supper to be done.
As Amy gave him his supper, she went on to tell Flash about all of the Adventures Sonic had. She told him about the time he saved the city from a giant water monster, how he stopped an ark from crashing into the earth, even how he transformed into a werehog. "Wow, dad was awesome!" Flash said in amazement. "I know, anyway after a while your dad decided to settle down in life, so he married me and we had you." As Amy finished her story she began to tear up.
Flash banged his fist on the table in anger and stood up from his chair. "I've made up my mind, I don't want people to suffer like this anymore, i'm going to take down Eggman just like my dad did."
Amy quickly grabbed Flash and dragged him to his room. "Mom, i'm sorry, I didn't mean to get so upset." Flash apologized. "Flash, stay in your room for a minute, i'll be right back." Amy then locked Flash's door and left him alone. "What was that all about?" Flash asked himself as he patiently waited for his mom to return.
Amy went downstairs and looked out the windows. "Nobody seems to be in sight right now." Amy said as she scanned the sunsetting area as the barren land got darker with each passing moment. Amy then locked all of the doors and shut all of the blinds, completely cutting off all chances of people being able to figure out what was going on inside.
"What's taking her so long?" Flash asked as he sat on his bed. Flash looked at the family photo on his side table and saw a the photo of Sonic, Amy, and a baby version of himself. They all looked very happy in the photo.
Just then Amy came in the room locking and barricading the door. "Mom, what's going on?" Flash asked. "Hold on a second Flash, there's something I have to show you." Amy went tearing through Flash's closet as she pulled out a small little box that was hidden under the carpet.
"Flash, I think it's time you knew about this." Amy said as she opened the box and pulled out what looked like a purple gem. "Wait, is that?" "Yes Flash, it's a chaos emerald." Amy replied.
This shocked Flash. He thought that Eggman had already had all of the chaos emeralds, but apparently, Amy had kept one hiding for eight years. "Flash, listen to me." Amy instructed. "I want you to go over to Tails's house, tell him about the chaos emerald and he'll explain everything else from there on out." Amy explained.
"I understand mom." Flash replied. Amy hid the chaos emerald back in it's original hiding spot and gave Flash a black jacket. "The police robots will mainly be patrolling the central area, but you need to be absolutely careful, and whatever you do, do not mention the chaos emerald to anybody but me or Tails." Amy instructed.
"Alright mom, i'll be careful." Flash replied. Amy opened the door and scanned the house area, she went downstairs first to check outside real quick, no one was outside currently, and the only light was from the factories in the distance.
"Now listen Flash, after Tails is done explaining to you what we need to tell you, come back here immediately, do you understand?" Amy asked. "Yes mom, I understand." Flash replied. "Alright then." Amy said as she checked the back windows for anybody before she let Flash out the back door.
"It's safest through the woods, but don't run too fast or else they may catch you." Amy said as she opened the door. "Now go Flash." Flash immediately ran out the door and headed straight for Tails's house.
