Chapter One: Project Shadow

San Francisco, Ca 1:30 PM

It was a peaceful day in San Francisco. The sun was shining, the wind was rustling through the trees along Main Street as people strolled down the street.

A blue streak zoomed down Main Street and headed straight toward the city. It was a blue hedgehog named Sonic, the heroic hedgehog that had saved countless lives over the years. Sonic zipped across the street toward his destination. He stopped by the hot dog stand and wanted to get himself a treat.

"Hey kid, what would you like for your hot dogs?" A tall, skinny man with an afro and a mustache stood behind the stall. He smiled at the hedgehog, and his eyes sparkled happily. "Your favorite is my special hot dog, right?"

"Yep! I'd like to have a chili dog if that's okay." Sonic replied.

He nodded, "Comin' right up, buddy. Here ya go." The man handed Sonic a chili dog and gave him his money. "Have fun on your way." The man winked at Sonic as he put some money into the register for his chili dog.

He chomped up his chili dog and headed off toward where he needed to go next. After a few minutes of jogging, he stopped at the park across from the city center, which housed the park for many families during the summer months. The park was full of children playing and laughing. Most parents were out with their kids. Sonic sighed heavily when he thought about all of the adults around the town who didn't realize how special life is, even though they lived it every day.

Sonic sat down on the bench overlooking the pond. His eyes scanned the pond, watching the fish swim by and listening to the birds sing on the oak tree nearby. He felt so relaxed, sitting under the shade of the tree, enjoying some peace. He sighed peacefully and let his eyes close as he took in this moment. He felt someone sitting next to him, he cracked one eye open to see this pink hedgehog in a red dress. It was Amy Rose.

"What are you doing here, Amy?" asked Sonic.

Amy shrugged her shoulders, "Just hanging out here. I just wanted to take some time to relax and not think about anything stressful today. You know, just take a break,"

"Yeah, I guess so. How's it been lately? Are you happy?" Sonic asked. His eyes were still closed, but now he could see Amy clearly.

Her short hair swayed back and forth in the breeze, and her emerald green eyes sparkled softly in the sunlight. She was beautiful in everything she did. Even though she wasn't really the most attractive girl in the whole world, she still made other girls swoon. The same went for Sonic, too.

"Well, I'm happy because we can get married," Amy said with a smile, her cheeks turning slightly pink, "And you can be my husband." Amy wrapped her arms around Sonic's shoulders and gave him a tight squeeze, causing her skirt to flare out.

"Uh, Amy, shouldn't we talk more about this?" Sonic blushed nervously.

"No, I need to tell you this. I want to marry you because I love you," Amy leaned in closer and tried to kiss Sonic on the lips. But, Sonic moved away slightly, causing Amy to stop kissing him.

"Why are you moving back? We should kiss!" Amy whined.

"You're moving forward!" Sonic insisted. "We can only be together if you don't move forward. I'm sorry, Amy. But I can't do this anymore…" Sonic slowly got to his feet. "I've gotta go. Bye, Amy…" he ran off as fast as he could, leaving Amy alone.

Amy sat there in stunned silence. What happened? Why was Sonic rejecting her? Wasn't she pretty enough for him? Or maybe he just didn't care. But why wouldn't he care about her? Amy couldn't help but start to feel hurt. Maybe he liked another girl. Maybe he never loved her in the first place. All Amy cared about was being together with him forever. That was all she ever thought about. And suddenly he broke up with her.

She started to sob as tears filled her eyes. She didn't understand.

Sonic went to Tails' house, hoping his brother would have some answers to this problem. Sonic knocked on the door, Tails opened the door, then stepped aside, letting Sonic inside his room.

"Hey, Sonic," he greeted his friend.

"Tails, I messed up again. I messed things up between me and Amy. I'm not really sure what she wants me to do," Sonic said in a worried tone.

"What happened?" Tails asked.

"She said she wanted to get married, but I'm not doing that," said Sonic.

"Wow... you really screwed yourself over big time, didn't ya, dude?" Tails sighed, trying to figure out what to say next.

"Do I have another choice though? I mean, I could always run away again, but I've already lost everything once. And now this. I can't keep running from something that's going to end eventually..." Sonic looked down.

"Look, Sonic," Tails began, "Amy's probably gonna be real mad at you, but I'll try to make sure she doesn't hate you forever. And, well... she can be immature sometimes, I'll admit. But you have to give her a chance, dude. Don't bail on her just yet."

"That's easy for you to say, Tails. You've known her longer than me. I'm just scared... scared that I'm wrong for her. If it was anyone else, I'd consider marrying them. But Amy... She's different, Tails. She makes me happy. And she deserves better. But I don't want to screw our relationship up." Sonic shook his head sadly.

"I know how you feel, bro, trust me. But I'm sure this will blow over soon. Just give it some time," said Tails.

Sonic nodded, "Yeah, I guess so,"

Suddenly, there was a loud boom outside followed by several flashes. Tails frowned and turned toward the window as the flashing continued. There was a huge explosion in front of the building. It appeared to be coming from the direction of Central Park. There was a huge robot destroying their city, destroying everyone in sight. They could barely escape alive after that. The robots were everywhere. Everyone seemed to be running as far away from them as possible. The robots blasted everything within their path. The buildings collapsed into piles of rubble. Cars were smashed, and houses were destroyed.

Sonic and Tails got out of the house, and see the figure inside the robot. It was Eggman, the villain who had done such terrible things to the earth for the last six years. He flew above the destruction, his robot hovering above the ground. The robot fired its laser beam into the streets. Buildings crumbled and collapsed into dust.

"I'll stop him. Tails, watch over the town while I go fight him," said Sonic.

Tails nodded and smiled brightly, "Okay! Be careful out there!" Tails waved as he watched his best friend leave through the door.

Sonic used his super speed to run across the street toward the robots, he rolled himself like a ball and smashed these robots to pieces. Sonic jumped back onto the sidewalk and ran along the sidewalk looking for Eggman. It was clear that he had already taken control of the entire city. Sonic could hear screaming and people crying for help. People and animals were fleeing the area while some stayed in their homes or hid somewhere until the robots left. Eggman noticed him.

"Stupid, little hedgehog! I have come here to destroy you, but now you won't let me!" yelled Eggman.

Eggman shot another blast of lasers at Sonic. He dodged the laser blasts and landed on top of an abandoned car. He leaped up to the roof of the car and climbed to the roof. As Eggman fired his laser attack again, Sonic ducked behind an overturned vehicle.

He saw that Eggman was preparing for another blast, and quickly leaped across to the opposite side of the roof. Once again, Eggman fired at the hedgehog and Sonic jumped up, grabbing onto the sides of the metal tube as he swung himself toward the top of the machine. As he reached his destination, he jumped to the top of the death egg bot. He punched the top of the machine and punched a hole, letting out smoke. Eggman shot the hedgehog, but nothing happened. A large hole appeared in the side of the death egg bot.

Eggman cursed angrily as he glared at Sonic. Then he blasted a giant blast of fire toward Sonic, blowing apart the death egg bot. He dodged the blast of fire and landed behind Eggman. He used a spin dash and hit Eggman on his back. Eggman stumbled and fell forward.

Then Sonic kicked him straight in the face and sent him flying backward. Before Eggman could regain his footing, he was met by Sonic, slamming his fist into his chest. Eggman flew backward through the air and crashed against the wall. His robot crashed into the wall as well, shattering completely.

"Give it up, Eggman. You're beaten," Sonic said as he stood proudly in front of the evil man.

"Ha! Do I look defeated?!" Eggman screamed hysterically. Then, Eggman pulled out of the remote and pressed the button to summon E-18 Guerra-Hard. In an instant, he was launched directly toward Sonic. Sonic gasped and quickly hopped back out of the way, avoiding the attack entirely. Eggman pressed his remote to activate his egg mobile to escape before he could be destroyed by the powerful force of E18 Guerra Hard.

"We'll meet again, Sonic. You'll wish you were dead when I find you!" Eggman fled the battle zone.

As Eggman disappeared, Sonic confronted E18 Guerra Hard. The robot shot at Sonic, which he easily dodged.

"I'm not afraid of you! You won't kill me that easily!" Sonic laughed triumphantly.

E18 Guerra Hard blasted out more laser blasts, which Sonic easily avoided.

"This is too easy!" Sonic exclaimed as E18 Guerra Hard fired another laser blast right at him.

E18 punched Sonic in the face, knocking him back against the wall.

"Oww.." Sonic winced in pain, holding his bleeding nose.

As E18 Guerra Hard prepared to punch again, Sonic leaped away and slammed into it hard. E18 stumbled backward, Sonic used his super speed to launch himself onto the robot, punching it in the center of the robot. He kicked it hard and sent it flying to the wall.

Sonic rested his hands on his lap, panting heavily, still feeling slightly dizzy. It took him a moment before he regained his composure and started to walk toward the exit where the dome was cracked open. Suddenly, he stopped dead in his tracks as he recognized a certain green glow behind him.

"No way!" Sonic yelled.

E18 still stood up to its feet, ready to fight.

"Oh, give me your break!" Sonic complained.

The robot ignored Sonic's complaint and prepared to fire at the blue blur.

Sonic didn't have time to fight this condemned robot. He had to get out of the dome.

"Sonic!" he heard Tails yell. He turned around and saw Tails flying toward him with Amy right beside him, both of them riding on a Tornado.

"Amy! Tails!" he exclaimed in joy as he was happy to see them.

"Sonic, take this!" he shouted as he threw a power ring at Sonic he caught it, and Sonic began to power up his energy core.

Sonic rolled himself into a ball and used a spin dash to destroy E18 Guerra Hard with Sonic's powerful spinning attacks, he broke through the abdomen of the robot, causing scrapes and metals to fly all over the place. The circuit began to surge dangerously, causing sparks to shoot out of the machine, as the robot crashed to the ground, completely lifeless.

Amy and Tails flew off of the Tornado and ran toward Sonic if he was alright.

"Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Tails asked in concern, as they came closer.

"Only a few scratches, but I'm okay. Thanks, guys," replied Sonic happily.

"Anytime. The citizen is safe now. Where's Eggman?" asked Tails.

"He escaped. He said he would be back. So... I think we should probably get home soon," stated Sonic.

"Sonic, if you want to walk home with me, we should get married," said Amy excitedly.

"Huh? What? Oh… No, no, we can talk about that later. We should really go before anything else happens," Sonic said nervously as he looked at Tails. "Right, Tails?"

"Well, yeah. I guess you're right," Tails said, sounding a bit uneasy.

-Meanwhile-

Dr. Eggman returned to his lair. He tapped the keypad to open this door and enter his laboratory. The light turned on revealing many computers and machines filled with all kinds of data. It appeared that many projects were being performed at once. The two minions were Orbot and Cubot, they were standing nearby, watching him in anticipation.

"How are things progressing?" he questioned.

"Very smoothly, Sir. Everything is going according to plan," said Orbot.

"Good. Now, the plan to eliminate Sonic has been completed. Now we need to prepare the next phase of our plans. After this, the planet will belong to us!" declared Eggman, as he walked towards one of his computer screens. He looked over several pages of notes in his hand. "But first…. We've got work to do."

"Yes, sir. What would you like us to do, sir?" asked Orbot as he glanced back at Cubot.

"Well… First, we've got to finish the project that yesterday," Eggman told them.

"What kind of project did you start, Sir?" Cubot inquired curiously.

Eggman grinned evilly, "Project Shadow."

"Shadow…?" echoed Orbot quietly as he blinked confused. "Sir… How is that even possible?"

"The hedgehog was able to figure out how to use my technology to repair himself. He managed to get a hold of me, but then he attacked me. That's why we need to get rid of him. If it wasn't for him destroying my robots, this wouldn't have happened," Eggman explained.

"But that is just an old idea, Sir. There is nothing left of those robots except piles of ashes," Cubot reminded him.

"Exactly. I'm going to build another one. But that hedgehog is going to help us destroy him. So you two are going to help me build new robots, and make sure they have as much strength as the previous ones, " ordered Eggman, placing his hand on his shoulder.

"Of course, sir," answered Orbot with a nod.

"So where are we headed to?" asked Cubot.

"To the Prison Island. Prepare my new Eggship and prepare for takeoff. We must leave now," said Eggman.
