Disclaimer: I do not own the Sonic the Hedgehog series.
Sonic ran into his house in Green Hill Zone and told everyone, "She's almost here!" The lights were turned off as Ajia ran in. "Dad! Where'd you go? Why are the lights off?" She turned on the lights to see a bunch of mobians jump out from behind a couch yelling "Surprise!" It was all of her friends and their parents. She looked around at her friends. She saw her brother Sam, her best friend Ember, and her close friend Reese.
After a bit of hanging out, chili fries, and some cake, Ajia opened the presents. From her brother and parents, in a blue and red box, she got a new pair of sneakers just like her fathers. "Wow! These are great!" She put them on, hugged her family, and said, "Thank you, guys! I couldn't ask for a better family." Sam said, "Look in it more," She frowned. "It better not be a prank." He smiled and said, "I make an exception on birthdays." She looked inside and found a jewel. "A Chaos Emerald!" Amy smiled, "We thought that we could see if you also inherited your father's slight chaos abilities." "Cool." She next opened a present with sequins all around it. It was a bunch of jewelry. She wasn't that into jewelry, but she faked a smile. "...Thanks, Ember." Ember smiled, and said, "Nothing but the near best for MY best friend's birthday." Still a bit spoiled, Ajia thought. Blaze's parents died when she was young, while Silver was an orphan, so they didn't know much about parenting.
All that was left was Reese's gift in silver wrapping paper. She opened it up to find an R/C Tornado. "Do you like it? Dad and I spent forever trying to build it." "I love it. thank you, Reese." She felt so happy. She had a great family, great friends...what could possibly make her life better?
Just then, Sonic fainted. Everybody rushed to him. Above them, a tiny spider-shaped bot was on the ceiling. It spat a bunch of darts into the necks of the parents. All six of them were down. Ajia looked at Sonic and Amy and said, "Mom! Dad! What's wrong?" Sam said, "This isn't a prank. What's going on?" Meanwhile, Ember looked at her parents. "Mommy! Daddy! If you don't wake up, I'll scream!" Reese felt his parents pulse. It was still there. "Mom, Dad, please don't die!" Just then, the wall exploded.
A robot walked in, connected to a large battery. It looked just like Ajia's father. "Who are you?" Ajia asked. It looked at them with red glowing eyes. "I am Metal Sonic! The greatest creation of Dr. Eggman!" They were confused. Reese asked, "Eggman? I thought he gave up being evil. He currently runs an invention company." Metal glared at them. "I no longer serve the fat fool. I am my own robot. He then pressed a button, and the darts teleported the adults away. Reese picked up a gun and shot Metal. It left a very huge dent. Ember laughed and said, "If YOU are the great Dr. Eggman's greatest invention, I would hate to see his other robots." Metal explained, "I have been alone in the ruins of an underwater base for years. Rusting away, losing my power, my speed. I can barely survive with this device on my back. But with your parents, I will become even stronger than I used to be." He then teleported away.
Ajia exclaimed, "We have to save our parents." Sam asked, "But how do we find where they went?" Reese pulled out a Miles Electric. "I shot Metal with a tracking device. My dad told me to do it in emergencies like this one. According to this, he's at Eggman's old abandoned Chemical Plant on Westside Island." Ajia said, "Let's take your father's Tornado to get there." They walked over to Tails' Workshop (which was bigger and now also a home for him, Cream, Cheese, and Reese). They got into three seats in the back, with the exception of Ajia, who got on the wings like her father used to. Ember said, "You know how to fly this thing, right?" Reese blushed. "Actually, I've never driven without my dad. But hey, there's a first time for everything, right?" He started it up and the plane took flight.
