A Hedgehog and a Plane

"Oh, sorry for everything guys." Sonic said after they told the blue hedgehog about his dangerous transformation. He along with Sally and Tails were sitting on the couch. On each side of them were Bunnie and Antoine. Manic was on the ground playing a racing game and rotor was leaning on a wall next to the barred doors.

"Hey, Sonic." Cyrus said as he ran into the room. A pair of headphones was on the lion's head.

"Yo, Cyrus, what's up?" Sonic replied.

"I just picked up a conversation from Robotnik's Base. Sleet and Dingo are going after the chaos emerald again." Sonic eyes sparked in enjoyment.

"Great, this is the perfect time to unveil my little project." He said as he headed toward the barred door. Pulling out a set of keys, he unlocked the door and opened it to reveal steps leading down.

"What do you got in there?" Rotor asked as he peered it to the dimly lit staircase.

"You'll see." Sonic simply replied before heading down the steps. They shrugged before following the hedgehog. After ten minutes of walking down step after step they got to the bottom of the stairs to find another set of locked doors, though instead of having four different locks it was voice activated.

"Enter password." It said. Sonic walked over to it and leaned in to whisper.

"Ogilvie Maurice Hedgehog." he said. A green light flashed in the door unlocked to reveal a large room with a large computer on one side of the room. A large tv was mounted on the opposite side of the room with images of the Great Forest and Knothole. In front of the group was a large runway with a garage door on the far side. A large item covered by a white sheet stood on the runway. Metal parts, tool boxes, and different kinds of inventions and prototypes littered the floor and desks. They all gasped in astonishment at what Sonic did in here. The blue hedgehog walked over to the covered machine and pulled the sheet off to reveal a red biplane with yellow stripes and the word 'Sonic' at the end of the plane on each side.

"Woah, you built this." Rotor said as he and Cyrus examined he plane in interest.

"Yep, I call it the Tornado." Sonic replied proudly.

"Why you called it that?" Sonia asked, surprised at her brother's mechanical ability. Sonic looked at her sheepishly and scratched his head.

"I...kinda…accidently…flew it through a tornado." Sonic said, earning a sigh from his sister and girlfriend. "It was surprisingly in good shape though. I was able to fly it back here, but I wanted to surprise you."

"Well we're surprise. When was the first time you flew a plane?" Tails asked.

"When me, Sally, Bunnie, Antoine, and Rotor went to get the secret scrolls." Sonic said as he ruffled the two-tailed fox head. Sally sighs as she remembers that day.

Flashback

As the sun begins to set over the mysterious temple, Sonic and Rotor walked over to the make-shift plane where the other freedom fighters were standing near. "you have the scrolls Sal." The blue hedgehog asked.

"Right here." The ground squirrel replied as she pats the scrolls before handing them over to Antoine. "Are you coming with us?"

"On one condition." Sonic replied, pointing.

"I'm afraid to ask." Sally said as she cross her arms.

"Don't be afraid." Sonic said as he leaned forward and raised his arms in a pouncing position.

"Okay, okay," the ground squirrel replied, uncrossing her arms, "what is the condition?"

"I get the fly the plane." sonic said as he pats the plane's wing, closing his eyes in smiling in triumph. Antoine screams in terror as he backs away, Sally gasped in shock and horror, and Rotor showed a sign of shock before it disappeared to leaving a smile.

Night

The make-shift planes tilts while rolling down the cliff. Antoine screams as the plane soon falls off and soars into the air with Sonic piloting. 'Too cool." Sonic said. Sally and Rotor sat in the same seat as the blue hedgehog while Antoine and Bunnie took the back seats.

"This is to be the end to my handsome self as I know it." Antoine said as he cowered in his seat, his eyes covered. Bunnie looks over at him and worry, two fingertips of her normal hand in her mouth. The planes take a U-turn and flies over the many structures of the temple, spiraling as it heads toward the mountain.

"woah a woah." Everyone except Sonic said as the plane spirals toward the mountain. It soon u-turns again and swoops low to the ground. Sally, Rotor, and Bunnie held onto the plane and Antoine continues to cower in his seat.

"I like it better when Sonic traveled by sneakers." the shaken squirrel said as the plane heads back to Knothole.

Flashback ended

What happen that day?" Sonia asked.

"You don't want to know." Sally said.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Manic, get the band van ready, we got a friend to visit." Sonic said as he pulled out a pair of goggles and a red scarf. Manic nodded before leaving the room for the garage.

"The band van can fly." Amy asked in astonishment.

"Yep, it's also acts as a boat." Sonia replied. A large vroom echoed through the room as a sign that Manic has the van ready.

"Alright, I can take three people." Sonic said as he climbed into the pilot seat. Sally climbed in after him while Tails and Sonia took the back seat. The remaining people left the room to the band van. Sonic flick a few switches and the plane roared to life. "Everyone ready." He asked his passenger. They all nodded. "Alright, ready for takeoff." he said as the plane begins to roll down the runway, toward the closed garage door. As the plane was at least two feet away from the door, sonic pushed a button and the door slowly lifts open. Once the door open completely the plane soars out into the polluted sky, the modified band van flying out seconds later.
