Chapter 1

Calm Before the Storm

A/N Finally! There are so many Good vs Evil stories out there, I'm getting a bit sick. So, I did a Good vs Nature, Evil vs Nature, and Good vs Evil story all in one. Hope you enjoy.

For this story, Everyone's age is +9. So, Sonic is 24, Cosmo is 17, Amy is 19, etcetera. Zoran, Cream, and Shadow may or not make an appearance. I don't know yet. Anyway, here is the story.

Tails sighed as he looked outside. "It's been raining for days now." He thought to himself. At present he was presenting his greatest invention yet to the board. Tails was an inventor, a prodigal inventor, destined for great things. What was he showing the team of scientists now baffled many of them, and several rubbed their eyes, as if they were seeing a hallucination.

"As you can see, this car in front of you, is hovering. With the correct amount of plasma energy and gravity repulsors, along with a highly complex electric engine, I have finally created the world's first true hover car. No longer is it just science fiction my friends. It is now real!"

The head man looked at the machine skeptically. "And how fast does this machine go?" He asked him.

Tails expected this question. With all the equipment needed to keep it up, it would probably be heavy, and not go very far. But in truth, he had used the correct materials, and made it as light as possible. "It goes quite fast, my friends, as fast as 200 miles per hour."

"Don't you mean 200 miles prower?" One of the women joked, who in turned received several glares from the staff. Tails cleared his throat, and then continued.

"However it runs on electricity, and needs to be charged. Fortunately, any normal electrical outlet will do, making it quick and easy, but the battery itself is very long lasting, and won't need much recharging often, though if you wait too long, it will need several hours, so if you recharged it while you were sleeping, it should be fully charged by the morn."

The president of the company smiled. "How many more do you think you could have in three months?" he asked.

Tails smiled inwardly. Yes! The were really going to buy his invention. "I should be able to get about 4 more every month, now that I have a fully functional prototype."

The president went and shook his hand. "Son, if you can make five every month, I'll pay you one hundred grand every month."

Tails smiled at him. "Deal." He'd have time to make another in a month. Or at least, he hoped he could fit it in and still spend some time with Cosmo. She didn't like it if he spent too much time at work.

He turned to his sales team. "Now we need to start advertising this things, get a lot of sales hype, as well as—." Then the lights went off.

"What's going on?" Someone asked. Tails could smell the fear in them, it was strong in the room, and strong in his heart too. When they looked outside, they saw thunder striking… over.. and over again, all around the city.

"Oh…my…"

A/N There's chapter 1 for you! Stay tuned and see the suspense grow even more!
