The year is 1927. Prohibition is in full swing, as alcohol has been strictly banned nation wide. However, you, among other people, saw it as less of a la, and more of a way to make money. You joined a local speakeasy in uptown Cleveland Ohio called "The Rose Thorn". You and your team find the booze, they sell it. That simple.

It was late at night when your gang had pulled off a successful trade. Your team went up north across Lake Eriei in a speed boat and met with a Canadian rum runner halfway. In exchange for money, he gave you enough French wine and brandy for a month. Now, you were on your way back, celebrating. Sonic the Hedgehog sat in the back of the boat wearing an unbuttoned suit and tie with his arm around Amy Rose, who wore a grey skirt and a white button down. At the wheel was Tails the Fox in a vest and button down with cuffed sleeves. Knuckles sat in the passenger seat, feet up on the dashboard in an unbuttoned navy suit.

Sonic: "Welp, that went as well as it could have, I'll say."

Knuckles: "Minus all this damn water. Next time, we buy our booze on land."

Tails: "Well, Sonic, if it weren't for your silver tongue we would have spent double the price we paid!"

Amy: "Oh one hundred percent. You have a way with words, dear!"

Sonic" Oh, it's nothing. Why I-"

A noise is heard over the sound of the engine. Sonic stops talking and stands up a bit, looking forward to see... another boat. He gasps.

Sonic: "GET DOWN!"

Bullets spew from the other boat, whizzing by as everyone crotches down. The glass of the windshield shatters into tiny pieces. When the bullets top, Sonic looks up. The other speed boat pulls up in parallel. In it, is none other than your rival speakeasy, "The Drum and Pike". In the speed boat stood Dr. Eggman, dressed in a posh 3 piece suit smoking a pipe. At the wheel was Rouge the Bat in a sparkly red dress, laughing. Towards the back was E-123 Omega, a mechanical robot made of car parts and sleek metal. And near the edge of the boat was none other than Shadow the Hedgehog in a button down, and suspenders, holding a smoking Thompson sub-machine gun. Sonic squints.

Sonic: "Is that-?"

Shadow: "The blue hedgehog again. Of all places. What are you doing out on the water so late, Rose Thorn?"

Tails: "Can it, Shadow! You and your crooks go find your own booze!"

Eggman: "Ooh hoo hoo hoo! Nice going, fly boy! Now we know you have booze."

Amy: "No one has to get hurt here, just go home and leave us alone!"

Rouge: "I'll agree with you that no one has to get hurt, but only if you hand over that booze, doll!"

Knuckles: "Not a chance! We paid for it fair and square!"

E-123 Omega: "Then we'll take it from your sinking vessel, impudent crooks."

The two ships continue to run in parallel as Tails slides a gun case into the back of the boat. Sonic's hand slowly reaches for his revolver. Something is about to go down...
