Chapter 16: SA2 Part 1

"Tangle's log,

It's been about… two days since Cream's birthday. We all moved to this new city for now, and things are… kinda weird.

Ok, yeah, adjusting to a new area was weird, but I am kinda confined to the house for right now, so it really wasn't that hard. Chris is probably having a much rougher time of it. That's not the weird thing though.

The weird thing is that people are suddenly thinking that Sonic is some sort of criminal!

There was a news cast this morning, and it had footage of a hedgehog that looked a lot like Sonic stealing a Chaos Emerald from some museum! Not only that, they're saying that he broke into a military base! That's nuts! Honestly, I really have my doubts about all of this. I mean, yeah, it's unlikely, but there's the chance that another Mobian hedgehog made their way to this world, you know, since the worlds are still kinda merging… kinda not… it's complicated.

Anyways, Amy is proof that there are hedgehogs other than Sonic, so it might just be someone else… I really hope it's someone else. I can't bear the thought of Sonic suddenly deciding to turn on us…

I really want to go and find him, but with this cast on my foot, it makes things hard… sike! Chuck said that he is getting a doctor to come over and take a look at it! Apparently it was healing quickly enough that they might be able to take off the cast today and replace it with some bandages… still gonna keep the cast though, I earned that thing!

Anyways, he's calling me now, so I better go see this doctor."


After a quick examination, the doctor was able to quickly take Tangle's cast off, and wrap her ankle with some bandages.

"Now, you should be able to perform your regular activities, but I do recommend that you continue to use the crutches most of the time." The doctor explained.

"Right, thanks doc."

And with that, the doctor left.

"I am really happy for you Ms. Tangle!" Cream said with Cheese chirping in agreement.

"Yeah, gonna be weird for a bit, but I'll be back to normal before you know it!" Tangle said with a grin.

"Good to see that you're in high spirits… now, about what's going on with Sonic…" Chuck said.

"Right… any way that we can get in contact with him? Somehow find out where he is?" Tangle asked.

"Hmmm…"

Then, the phone rang.

"Oh no… no no no, there is no way…" Tangle said.

"That was Nelson… Sonic is currently fighting a G.U.N. robot downtown."

"… Ok, seriously? What are the odds…" Tangle groaned out.

Regardless, Chris started running out of the room, with Tanaka, Chuck and Tangle all following closely.

"Ok, running is not a comfortable thing right now…" Tangle groaned out.

Eventually, the group made their way downtown to find Sonic fighting…

"Another Hedgehog?!" Tangle asked.

"Guess that's the guy who's been framing Sonic…" Chuck deduced.

What happened next, none of them could really believe.

This other hedgehog started to completely mop the floor with Sonic.

Not only was his speed comparable to Sonic's, but he was also able to warp somehow…

"Chaos Control!" The other hedgehog said as he held up a Chaos Emerald.

"…huh?"

'YOU CAN DO THAT WITH ONLY ONE EMERALD?!' Tangle thought.

The other hedgehog continued to mop the floor with Sonic until…

"Consider yourself lucky. If it wasn't for these inhibitors on my wrists, you'd already be dead!"

"Wow… what an edge-lord…" Tangle analyzed.

"We gotta do something!" Chris said.

"Right, on it!" Tangle said as she jumped out of the car.

Though, landing on her left foot was a bad idea.

"YEEE THAT HURTS!"

"Tangle, stay there…" Sonic said.

"Hmph, like she would make a difference." The hedgehog said.

"Who are you anyways?!" Sonic asked.

"Hmph… I am Shadow the Hedgehog… the Ultimate lifeform created by Professor Gerald." Shadow said.

He then noticed the police approaching from behind them.

"There's no longer any time for games… farewell."

And with that, he was gone.

What followed Tangle thought was pretty strange. At first, Sonic was ready to fight his way out of this mess, but upon finding out that he was going to be taken to a place called Prison Island, he just surrendered.

"Sonic…" Tangle said.

"Don't worry, I'll see you soon." Sonic said before he boarded a helicopter.


"So… what do we do about this…?" Chris asked.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm going after him." Tangle said. "Injury or not, I can't just sit here while Sonic is sitting in a jail cell!"

"Calm down, do you even realize what Prison Island is?" Chuck asked.

"Uh… a Prison on an Island?" Tangle asked.

"No… I mean, yes… but there's more to it!" Chuck said. "It's the most secure prison on the planet! No one has ever been able to break in or out!"

"Yeah? Well I am not just somebody!" Tangle declared. "Now, are you guys with me, or are you not?"

"I'm with you." Chris said. "You're right, we can't just sit here and do nothing!"

"Great!" Tangle said. "Now… how do we get there…?"

Everyone just groaned at Tangle's lack of planning.

"I guess I will have to help Master Chris and Tangle." Tanaka said. "I will get you two there before you know it!"

"Great! Let's get going!" Tangle said.

'Sonic… here we come!'
