Sonic's Origin, The birth of a hero.

Sonic entered the briefing room, it was usually dark in there with a blue hue from the monitor, "Have a seat commander" said a voice.

Sonic turned to see his Commanding Officer seated by the monitor.

Sonic put himself at attention and saluted him, "Sir, Commander Sonic Wind reporting Sir" announced Sonic, "Acknowledged" replied the CO.

Sonic took his usual seat right in front of the room, "Where is everybody else? Sonic thought to himself.

The CO stood from his chair, "Commander I won't sugar coat this, but the higher ups are trying to whittle down our command, now I explained to them that only the best pilots for the navy are going to be found here, but we need to show them proof."

The CO walked closer to Sonic, "you're the best damn pilot that I've ever seen, you're going to have to represent us up in the air and prove that all the pilots here are the best of the best" explained the CO.

Sonic just sat there, trying to sink all of that information in, "Sir surly there are better pilots then me to represent-" Sonic was cut off, "your humbleness is noted son, but I can't think of any other that I would want in the air for this, the truth is you belong up there, and all who know you agree to this. Now we need you, and I expect you up and in the air at 1300 sharp."

Sonic didn't know how to respond, all of his fellow pilots and crewmen were counting on him to pull this off so the higher-ups wouldn't disband the command, but Sonic knew that there was no other way, orders were orders after all.

"Rodger that sir" replied Sonic, he rose from his chair, saluted the CO, and turn to exit the room.

"Stop worrying you moron" said Axel. Your gonna get in your bird, and blow the pants off of the higher ups, you'll see"

Sonic stopped walking, "I'm not so sure buddy" said Sonic, "These people never seemed to do things the easy way, and in the past they've always stayed out of our way, this seems to well planned for them."

"What are you thinking?" asked Axel.

"I'm thinking this is a setup, and that they're trying to close down this base." Answered Sonic

"Your worrying too much." replied Axel.

"And if I'm not?" asked Sonic.

Axel turned to his friend, and looked serious, there were only a few times Axel has done this to Sonic in the past, so he gave his friend his full attention.

"Then don't give them the chance they're looking for" assured Axel.

Sonic smiled, and a new sense of motivation started to rise inside him.

"Right" said Sonic, "Let's get this thing going."

And with that the both of them headed off towards the hangar to get ready for their biggest moment in their military career.
