Some say that everyone has a purpose; a purpose that exposes the real character inside them. You have your own purpose that exposes the real you. There are many different purposes; some go in the same footsteps as others. But, there is no other purpose that hath shown characters inside that is more extraordinary than that of eight special kids. Their character was shown in the way that is unthinkable, unimaginable. And yet, it was true. Yes, eight kids: Bridget, Destiny, Kogome, Mika, Tia, Rachael, Raquel, and last but not least, KT, all had gone threw their purpose. The best part about it is their courage that they showed, and the undying friendship that they had for one another. This is their story…

It all started one evening at Mika's house. She had invited all her friends over for a birthday slumber party. That's right. It was Mika's birthday, and I'm sure no one was more excited than her. She had her Nintendo Gamecube out for some fun, but it seemed as though only two people would get to play. Let's start there…

"Oh, why do you always beat me?" complained Destiny as the violet controller slipped out of her hands. Her green eyes were fixed on the screen.

"Because, like I said, I am the king of video games!" KT boasted proudly, holding an orange controller.

"Yeah right! Well, pretty soon, your reign will last no longer as Queen Destiny conquers Sonic Adventure 2: Battle!" Destiny exclaimed, grabbing her controller back from the kind and gentle palm of Rachael.

As they began to play for the sixtieth time, Rachael walked back to her seat among the bean bags. Everyone else who was invited also sat in a bean bag, watching the two competitors battle once again.

"Will they ever stop playing?" whispered Bridget in the ears of Mika, who was sitting beside her.

"I don't know, I hope so," Mika replied honestly.

"Me too," agreed Tia, who was lying on her bean bag. The black-haired girl was sitting to the left side of Bridget.

"Well, good luck with that!" Kogome informed, sitting cross-legged on her bean bag.

Raquel, who was sitting beside Kogome, appeared confused. "About what?"

Kogome looked at the small-for-her-age, light-brown haired girl. "About wishing for them to stop playing," she replied.

Raquel gave an 'o' expression and then turned her attention back to KT and Destiny playing.

Tia started to get impatient. "Will you two stop playing? This is the sixty-fourth round!"

"No," KT and Destiny said simultaneously, their eyes never leaving the screen.

A noise outside Mika's bedroom window captured Raquel's attention.

"Well," she said, "It seems that the weather agrees with your attitude."

For a moment, everyone took the time to see that a storm was raging outdoors.

"Back to the game," KT suggested, turning the game back to playing, after it had been paused.

Tia sighed in frustration.

"Alright! That's it! I am going to play whether anyone likes it or not!" Bridget exclaimed, leaping up out of her bean bag.

The blonde-haired girl stomped toward the Nintendo Gamecube. She got a good grip on KT's controller and started pulling it out of his hands.

"Hey!" KT complained, pulling back.

"I like your style, Bridget!" Tia agreed, and started pulling on Destiny's controller.

"Hey, no fair!" Destiny whined, pulling back.

"Guys, stop! We can take turns!" Mika suggested.

"Mika's got a good point, why don't we listen?" Rachael suggested.

Destiny muttered through clenched teeth, "I would if somebody would stop pulling on my controller!"

"It's not your controller!" replied Tia.

"Whatever!" Destiny exclaimed.

Kogome and Raquel looked at each other and shrugged. They didn't want to get in the fight, and it seemed like a good idea not to.

"Stop fighting!" Rachael insisted.

Nobody would listen.

Meanwhile, Kogome heard someone yelling behind Mika's door, and stood up to hear better.

"Kogome, what's the matter?" Raquel asked, standing up beside the sandy-haired girl.

"I think I heard somebody," Kogome replied.

"Who?"

"I don't know."

"What did it sound like he/she was saying?"

"Something like we need to turn off the Nintendo Gamecube because of the storm," Kogome said.

Raquel shrugged. "What do you suppose she was really trying to say?"

"I don't know. But I don't see why we have to turn the Gamecube off. It doesn't make-" Kogome stopped short in sudden realization.

Her hazel eyes opened wide, and so did Raquel's hazel ones. They immediately turned to the others and yelled, "EVERYONE! TURN OFF THE NINTENDO GAMECUBE BEFORE WE—"

Too late. A lightning bolt outside struck real hard on an electrical post, not too far away, and caused an electrical surge to come through. All eight kids were immediately electrocuted, even the ones who weren't holding on to a controller. They screamed out in pain, but no one could here them because of the loud thunder outside.

Soon, when the shock had stopped, all eight of them fell to the floor, unmoving and barely breathing. The power had gone off, so they couldn't get electrocuted anymore that night. Nothing moved in the room. Everything was still; even the bodies of our eight heroes seemed to be not even living. You might be wondering what has happened to our heroes. Well, their very own soul was transported into the Nintendo Gamecube. Yes, they were taken inside the devise. But we must continue were we left off.

Our heroes were transported to different places in Sonic Adventure 2: Battle. One of our heroes was found in a peculiar way…

Sonic the Hedgehog seemed to be having the time of his life. What was he doing? Oh, he was running. As usual. The wind flying through his quills was the feeling that he had grown to love. The beauty and relaxation of the day had been interrupted when something caught his eye. The blue hedgehog immediately stopped running and turned to see an unconscious figure lying by a tree.

Sonic ran off of the road by the figure, just to make sure it was okay and in good health. When he got closer, he could tell it was a female. Funny thing was, he couldn't tell what kind of animal it was. She had brown fur, with a black T-shirt with a skull on it. The animal also wore jeans and had dark brown hair that went to her knees.

"Hello, you awake?" Sonic asked, shaking the female.

The animal's eyes fluttered open, and she groaned.

"What hit me?" she asked, sitting up.

It was then that she noticed who had awoken her. Her emerald eyes opened wide, and Sonic was confused at her expression.

"What?" he asked.

The female was too stunned to speak.

"I….uh….I….I…hubba, hubba!" she exclaimed.

Sonic was even more confused. "'Hubba, hubba?' What kind of language is that?" he wondered.

The blue hedgehog waited for a reply, but none came. "Okay, I think I'll start. I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog. What's your name?"

"I…." the female looked down at brown self, and looked as if she were about to scream at the top of her lungs.

"You're 'I'? That's a weird name!" Sonic admitted.

The girl shook her head, and found the courage to say, "It's…it's not my name. My name is…."

She was about to say 'Destiny' when she knew that she was no longer human. She was now her made-up character!

"My name is Jet," she said, sounding like she had a frog in her throat.

"Do you need a lozenge?" Sonic wondered, noticing the dry voice.

"No," Jet cleared her throat, "I'm fine."

"You sure?" Sonic asked.

"Positive," Jet said.

Sonic shrugged, "Okay."

Standing up now, Sonic reached out a gloved hand for Jet to use.

Jet just stared at the gloved hand.

"Aren't you going to get up?" Sonic asked.

"Uh, yeah, I guess," Jet said, grabbing the hand firmly.

Now standing up on her legs, Jet took the time to glance at herself and her surroundings.

"Where am I?" Jet asked.

"I take it you're not from around here," Sonic guessed.

"Nowhere near here," Jet corrected.

"Well, you are in Station Square!" Sonic announced.

"St-station Square!" Jet exclaimed, her eyes opening wide again.

"Yeah, is there a problem?" Sonic wondered.

"'Is there a problem'! Of course there is a problem! I am supposed to be on Earth! Not inside some video game that I can't even beat!" Jet shouted.

"Okay! Okay! Calm down and tell me everything…." Sonic suggested.

"Well, it's a long story. I think I should wait till I find…." Jet's voice trailed off.

"What?" Sonic asked, not liking the silence that had started after Jet stopped talking.

"The others! Kogome, Raquel, Rachael, Tia, Mika, Bridget and KT! I wonder if they were transported here, too!" Jet exclaimed.

"Okay, I am lost. You have to tell me what happened, or else I don't think I can help you with whatever is wrong," Sonic said.

Jet took a deep breath. "Okay," she said, "but we have to make this quick, who knows what the others are doing right now!"

As she began the story, she silently added in her head, 'Or who they are with right now.'
