The young hedgehog rocked quietly in his hammock, subtle mumbles and snores were the only noise he made. The shack’s straw and wooden roof successfully provided shelter from the bathing hot sun, the blinds did let a small amount in to keep the room nice and warm. Sonic’s ocean blue quills rested on the green pillow as the taped up hands were placed on his bare chest. His muzzle more a happy smile on his face, with the gang off with their own business, and Eggman busy plotting another scheme, Sonic decided he would spend a couple of hours relaxing. He snored as his mind filled with images for his dreams, endless fields to run in, chilidogs galore, and a sexy ebony black hedgehog brooding at the end of it.
“So this is what you do when I’m not here?” The sudden brooding voice made Sonic’s eyes open, his emerald greens looked directly into Shadow’s ruby reds. With a slight jump, he fell out of the hammock and onto the floor. Shadow looked down at h

A wet washcloth was laid on the black forehead that was quickly becoming warmer, warmer than usual anyway. The bat sat next to the fainted creature for a second before getting up and walking back to the office desk where the Commander sat. The blue hedgehog sat in a chair across from the human, looking rather distraught, though he tried to remain calm. The Commander’s office was nicer than the others, a larger room with a window that sat behind the mahogany desk.

The Commander came with the bat and hedgehogs, making sure they behaved themselves until their comrade regained consciousness.
As the bat returned to her chair, the human continued their conversation, “You said Shadow wasn’t feeling well? How long has that been

EPILOGUE:
The next morning, Queen Aleena was addressing those of the Robotropolis camp, frowning at the choices that laid before them. She was also hoping Sonic and his friends would be present to balance things out, but to no avail. Only Uncle Chuck was there among the others. “Are you absolutely sure this is what you all want? I know things have become extremely complicated since the arrival of Knothole, but surely there's no need for this. I ask that you all reconsider this.”
“Reconsider what?”
Princess Sally was approaching the camp when she overheard the last few words, and walked up to Queen Aleena. Glaring eyes from the camp turned to her.
Mighty approached her. “Sorry Princess, but we all discussed it last night. We don't feel comfortable having the Knothole fighters in the city and would request that you head back to your village.”
“What?! But why?!” Sally asked, alarmed.
“JUST for now,” Aleena cut in, looking at Migh
