Sonic Series Fan Fiction ❯ The History of Michael ❯ A Special Gift... ( Epilogue )

This is Somethin' Special...

<Three years later>

For three years, Michael had been growing up in the love and care of Sonic, Amy and the others, but no one had ever seen Michael run in his life...that is, until this day came...

"Well, Sonic, you think that you're actually gonna get beat this time?" Tails asked Sonic.

"What do you think, Tails? Do I ever lose to anyone in speed?" Sonic replied confidently; of course, he could brag since he truly had never been beaten before. 'I just wanna see how my son runs...' Sonic silently said to himself.

"Well, I wish you the best of luck, Sonic!" Amy shouted to her husband. 'I can't wait to see my son run for the first time! The excitement is really getting at me!' Amy said to herself as Sonic and Michael kneeled down at the line for the start of the 2000 mile-long race.

Michael stared at his father with a competitive fire in his eyes, wanting to beat his father in his first run ever.

"Don't underestimate me, dad, even though I am still young!!" Michael said to Sonic, getting a chuckle from him in response.

"Alright! The 2000 mile long race begins in...5...4...3...2...1...<gun fires>" Amy shouted as two blurs sped past her at lightning speeds.

"Hey, dad! You gotta admit, we've only ran five miles, but its already really cool to race you!!" Michael commented, getting another chuckle from Sonic.

"Well, you better watch where you're running!" Sonic replied, turning a corner as Michael barely missed a collision.

"Ha! So young, thats what hurts them so badly! They are so inexperienced!!" Sonic said out loud, seeing his son struggling to catch up with him.

Suddenly, Sonic and Michael were on a straight path, giving them a great oppurtunity to kick it up a few notches. For Michael, his speed burst was, perhaps, the fastest thing Sonic had ever seen in his life.

"Heheheh...this is too easy! My son may be young, but that don't mean I'm gonna go easy on him!" Sonic said to himself as Michael approached Sonic from the rear, which Sonic didn't realize.

"Hey, dad! Its me!!!" Michael shouted with a grin as he passed his father at mile 530.

Sonic couldn't believe his eyes when he saw his son pass him, his feet moving like mere blurs compared to Sonic's.

"There's no way!! He-he...he's running...faster then me!!!" Sonic said in disbelief, his surprise at his sons speed was something that he never expected to see. 'Heheh...just because he can run fast doewsn't mean that he's got what it takes to beat me!' Sonic said to himself as he saw a ramp and had an idea.

<Meanwhile, about three miles ahead>

"Ha!! My dad runs too slow!! I run faster!!" Michael said confidently as he appraoched mile 820.

Suddenly, Michael could hear Sonic from above him as he saw his dad doing a frontflip and landing on his feet infront of him. "Hey, son!! I'm back!! HAHAHA!!!" Sonic yelled in delight as he really turned on the speed, nearly breaking the sound barrier.

Michael merely grinned at this and started to feel his feet moving faster then his brain could get through.

<50 miles away>

"HA!! Only 200 miles to go and this race is won!!!" Sonic said as he found himself on a straightway, the distant view of a black and white flag in the distance. 'Yeah!! This race is over...' Sonic started, kicking up his speed as fast as he could, nearing the sound barrier.

Suddenly, much to Sonic's shock, he saw his son pass him like he was a rookie. Sonic could only stare in disbelief at his son, who passed the finish line far before Sonic could react completely.

'...Who...who...who is he...???' Sonic commented to himself, still in shock at seeing his son's feat.
