A GUN military helicopter was flying over Station Square and Sonic was a prisoner onboard the craft.

"Attention, Control, we are currently heading south. Suspect is in custody." Pilot said on the radio.

"This is Control speaking. We've verified your position. Handle suspect carefully. He's a slippery little guy." Mission Control said over the radio.

Sonic was handcuffed and sitting between two GUN soldiers.

"You're awful quiet." a Soldier said.

"So what?" Sonic asked.

"Well, from what I heard, you've caused quite a ruckus over at Prison Island the other night. Now we can't get two words out of you."

"Guess I'm not feeling too chatty."

Another soldier stood up and menaced him with his gun.

"You better watch that smart mouth, hedgehog, or you'll be running laps in a ten-by-nine cell."

Suddenly Sonic created a ruckus on the chopper.

"What's going on up there?" Mission Control asked over the radio.

Then Sonic emerged from the helicopter and landed on the stabilizer wing.

"I gotta get the chump on these fly guys." Sonic said.

"Hey! What do you think you're doin'? Come back!" the soldier said.

Sonic sawed off the stabilizer wing and rode it down toward the city. He landed in a skating rink, rode it across a half-pipe, and ditched it.

"Sorry, dudes!" he said.

At GUN HQ. "Suspect located!" Officer said.

"Deploy robots immediately!" another said.

"Roger!" another said.

In Central City Sonic reached the top of a hill on one of the roads, only to be met with a swarm of GUN Beetles that force him to run in opposite direction.

"I am outta here!" he said and dodged their laser damaging stoplights, cars, and even buildings. "Uh-oh. They mean business!" he said and ducked down a manhole while the Beetles flew past.

Soon he was walking through the sewer.

"Could I possibly sink any lower?" he asked. "What am I running away from, anyway? I mean, I haven't done anything wrong, have I? I just wonder what it is they think I did..." he said to himself.

Elsewhere Chris was walking in the sidewalk with another kid.

"Hey Chris, I heard you come from Station Square." a kid said.

"Uh... Yeah?" Chris said.

"Have you ever seen Sonic the Hedgehog up close?"

"Uh... Sonic? Well... sorta."

"What's he like? Is he really that fast?"

"You bet he's fast! He's faster than anybody, and he's nicer than anybody, too."

"Wish I could meet him. Heh, who knows, if we're lucky, maybe we'll both get to meet him someday."

"Well, I gotta get to class. Later!"

"See ya!"

As the kid left, Chris looked skyward.

In the President's limo Christina Cooper was reading a report.

"Mr. President, it appears our undercover operative has settled into his new mission and will have all of the resources necessary." Christina said.
