Is life unfair? That's a question we always ask or we assume or perceive that we should all the answer to. Though for me, at least I find life to be very unfair sometimes, though I guess that is because of the fact I'm surrounded by evil on a daily basis. Most of you would know me as the world-renowned hero, Sonic the Hedgehog.

Other than that nobody knows about my personal life, other than the fact I'm a hero and the fact I hang out with my friends which consist of my little bro Miles 'Tails' Prower, who just likes to be called Tails more than anything else. He's the smart guy of our group and for a 13 year old he's created things I can't like; a fighter plane, twice, known as the tornado 2 and X, a fully operational spaceship called the blue typhoon and created a robotic exo-suit, which he acquired in our latest adventure, where a race known as the Zeti and a group within their race known as the deadly six wanted to drain the planet of Mobius to husk but we defeated them and in the end Tails got some swanky new duds.

Moving away from him we also have; my first, friendly, red-headed, reckless, gullible, powerful rival known to the world as Knuckles the Echidna, the protector of the master emerald. My crazy female friend who doesn't understand the concept of "Go away" Amy Rose, known to the world as my number one annoyance and personal stalker... Ugh just thinking about her gives me goosebumps. Rouge the bat the seducing treasure hunter of our group. Shadow who is essentially me except packing heat and black fur rather than my blue shade of fur with red streaks adorning his quills. That's the sum total there are also the Chaotix but I thought to not bore you to death I might as well tell you a secret about me.

You know my arch enemy Dr. Eggman? Well, he is the entire reason I'm a hero. Now before you say, that's your secret LAAAAME I'll give you a little bit of a shock...Eggman is responsible for my ability to harness the chaos emeralds and everything else I can do. I'll take you back to my time before I became a hero... a time where Eggman was actually my closest friend.

FLASHBACK: Sonic's age=8

"Yo doc, you home?" I asked into the darkness of his lab, it was unsettling, to say the least, where is he? I thought as I entered the lab. Suddenly I heard his voice reply.

"Sonic is that you? Sorry about the power outage in my lab I tried to utilize the emeralds again to charge up my supercomputer and I thought if I removed the plug then I would be able to see how much juice a single emerald would give it and also how long it would last. Unfortunately, I may have given too much energy to my computer and it overloaded as well as the lights in my lab. I had new ones put in which should work and, there we go" He said as the room was suddenly lit up with several beams of light. I rubbed my head sheepishly as I had forgotten all about the lights and I had not even tried to turn them on as I walked in... hehe. Needless to say, I felt stupid.

"Well regardless I guess you came here to try the emeralds again right?" he asked.

"Yeah if I don't get some sort of progress in fulfilling my dream of roaming around the world I'm probably gonna break a few of your experiments to relief my stress," I said jokingly, Kintobor ( Eggman's actual name) just stood there, almost daring me to do that. The thing is he knows I wouldn't do that at the time since he was my friend.

"Well then follow me" he instructed as he pointed over the chaos treadmill,

"Ok let's do this," I said with a sense of determination in my voice.

" Good show Sonic" And with that he placed me into the treadmill and placed the seven chaos emeralds into the corresponding slot alongside the treadmill as they were to be used as sort of energizers to infuse my body with the positive energy of the chaos emeralds. He stated that we were good to go I thought about what this experiment would mean if it was successful; a totally environmental friendly approach to energy production and consumption, it would mean Mobius would be a better place. I had taken pride in that fact that I was helping the world. This experiment would change everything alright... but not how I wanted.
