A year later, me and Tails found a place to call home: Green Hills. No one else went to this place but us and a few birds called Flickies. Still no word from Dr. Robotnik, so that's unsettling. Tails built a workshop for both me and him to live in.

Today, we were trying out his newest invention the Tornado, which he said wouldn't ruin everything unlike the Giantizer. I was on one of the wings and Tails was driving. I was examining all the forests and animals who lived there.

"Sure is a nice day out today, isn't it Sonic?" asked Tails. "Yeah, it sure is little buddy! Where'd you find the materials to build this? Heck, HOW did you find the materials to build this? You're 8!" I agreed, looking at the blue-eyed fox.

"Uhhhh... oh look! A loop-de-loop!" stammered Tails before changing the subject, pointing to a loop-de-loop nearby. I sighed in annoyance, rolling my eyes but I let him have it. Suddenly, I was body-slammed by someone.

"SONIC!" shouted Tails. "What the heck?!" I shouted as I fell into the Green Hills bedrock. I got up slowly, but, surprised by what I saw, I fell back down and hurriedly backed away as far as I could. It was another walking upright and talking animal, even though it was with... Dr. Robotnik.

"Hello, Sonic." greeted Dr. Robotnik sinisterly. His voice sent a shiver down my spine as I had a flashback about that day:

The man controlling the robot saw me and Tails. "Why, hello there little Sonic and Tails, I am Dr. Robotnik, and I am here..." started Dr. Robotnik, pointing at me.

"For you."

What was most horrifying besides that he killed Uncle Chuck, was that he knew our names... But the fear was quickly replaced by anger as I marched towards him. "WHY DID YOU KILL HIM IF YOU WERE AFTER ME?!!" I asked furiously.

"He was in the way. Wouldn't tell me where you were. Now, if you come along like a nice little fella, I won't hurt your fox buddy either." taunted Dr. Robotnik.

I blinked myself back to reality as I stared up at the tall madman. "Remember me? The one who killed your precious Uncle? That never meant to happen. I was only after you and you only." Dr. Robotnik dramatically gasped.

"Where are my manners?" He asked, patting the other animal. "Sonic, meet Knuckles." I knew I was in trouble the moment Knuckles put his fists together and produced red electricity. My ears pinned back as Knuckles charged at me.
