Live Like A Warrior (Book 3 of the Real World Chronicles)

Trailer #2

"Woo-hoo!" Sonic cried as he ran within the walls of a giant fallen hollow tree trunk in the forest.

"Sonic, you've finally found your family," Tom smiled, glancing at the three smiling faces of Tails, Knuckles and Willow. Tails was flying high over an expensive building.

"Try to keep up!" smirked Sonic. Knuckles bounded off the face of the Big Ben, gliding through the air with fiery fists. Sonic sped up and bounded off the tip of the London Bridge. Willow was Big Ben with a pair of binoculars doing a little sightseeing.

"I know it hasn't always been easy," Tom told him.

Sonic took Tom and Willow to his old cave, where the humans unveiled a mural of the hedgehog and Longclaw sitting together on top of a loop-de-loop on his old island home behind a veil of long overgrown moss.

"You still miss home, don't you?" Willow guessed, feeling sentimental.

"Yeah," croaked Sonic, but still tried to keep a smile on his face.

Willow took some leftover chalk in her pocket and added a mini version of herself to the mural, sitting on a rock under a palm tree.

"I wish I could go there," she timidly yearned.

"But you didn't change who you are in here," Tom pointed at the center of Sonic's chest.

Sonic looked down, then looked back up at Tom with a sincere smile. "Yeah. In my lungs."

"Or your heart," the sheriff shrugged. Willow giggled at the boys' silliness.

Sonic whooped as he ran off a fallen tree and shot into the sky over the greenery, spinning around in a star pose while holding up a peace sign.

Off on a distant island on a very dark and stormy night, a Code:Red alarm had just abruptly been issued within the walls of the very prison located there.

"There's been a high-level security breach," Comm. Walters informed all employees of the building via intercom as he took note of the heart rate monitor now spontaneously spiking from hypersleep to regular heart rate.

A pair of ruby eyes within the cryostasis capsule they were monitoring shot wide open with the veins of amber energy coursing through the owner's irises. A gloved fist from inside smashed the straight through the glass containing the owner as armed reinforcements stood at the foot of the contained area and drew out their guns.

"And we need Team Sonic's immediate assistance."

A GUN helicopter flew out of a ring portal of broad daylight and into the dead of night over the rooftops of Tokyo. Tails was then shown to be the one piloting the chopper he, Sonic, Willow and Knuckles were riding in, while also wearing a piloting helmet and mic much too big for his cute furry yellow little head.

The GUN agents kept their guns pointed at the silhouette of a Mobian hedgehog who looked a lot like Sonic as it stepped out into the condensed smoke that trailed at its ankles, making the shattered glass crinkle menacingly beneath its feet.

"Project Shadow is far beyond anything we've ever encountered."

The hedgehog scowled at the armored humans before teleporting off in a red light to who knows where.

Inside of a deserted lab, Sonic and Willow were looking at various tools and data files that were scattered all over the place with the help of a levitating crystal Willow materialized to light their way.
