Motorhead

Motorhead is a fanfic by BearfootTruck. In this fic, Sonic – now a Corporal working for the Royal Mobian Constabulary's Interceptor Squad – is assigned to stop the driver of a black van who is running female motorists off the highways of Mobius. However, he also gets a partner assigned to him.
==Synopsis==
One day, Miss Annalisa Jensen is run off the road by a driver of a mysterious black van, and the Royal Mobian Constabulary is called in to investigate what may be an accident. However, Corporal I Sonic the Hedgehog – a member of the Interceptor Squad – senses that it may not be an accident after all, knowing that his friend Amy was involved in a similar situation. However, Deputy Chief Mira Klerx won't have Sonic jumping to conclusions. In the meantime, she assigns Constable I Miles Prower as his partner. Though reluctant to have a partner, the Blue Blur learns to accept and soon like Prower, whom he nicknames "Tails".
After busting a speeding motorist in a stolen car, Sonic and Tails stop at a roadside bar & grill when they spot a black Dodge van parked there. However, questioning the bartenders and other patrons gets them nowhere, and in fact, a woman named Shadow the Hedgehog informs the pair that the van outside isn't the one they’re looking for. Convinced, Sonic takes Tails back out on patrol.
Elsewhere, Sarah O'Hannigan is going home from the hospital where she works when the mysterious black van shows up again and runs her off the road, thereby causing her car to blow up. She survives the initial explosion, but at least 60% of her body is badly burnt. Sonic and Tails ask her a few questions at the hospital before she dies of her injuries. One interesting answer they get is about the music played by the van driver, which is some sort of electronic music. Tails is overwhelmed by O'Hannigan’s death, wondering how Constables ever get used to death and destruction. Sonic responds that they don't. After an awkward moment of silence from Tails, Sonic pulls over, gives him a hug and promises him that they'll go through all right, even offering to have him come over his house.
At the scene of the next victim of the mad van driver – by now dubbed the "Dubstep Driver" by the press – Sonic and Tails not only meet Shadow, but her partner Ruby the Bat, both of whom are freelance insurance investigators. Sonic and Tails question Shadow and Ruby why they’re so interested in the case, to which Ruby claims that it's for the same reason. Meanwhile, as the Dubstep Driver continues to target young women on Mobius' highways, Sonic hangs out with Tails and attempts to pursue a romantic relationship with Shadow, who continually rebuffs him until Ruby threatens to tickle her. She then reluctantly agrees to go out with him.
Sonic has a good time going out with Shadow. As much as she hates to admit it, Shadow also has a good time. While Sonic and Shadow are cavorting with each other, the Dubstep Driver continues to kill. When Sally Acorn is struck unconscious by him, Sonic is more determined than ever to stop the Dubstep Driver. However, Klerx threatens to take him off the case and even the Interceptor Squad if he makes it personal. Then, Sonic gets a phone call from Ruby, who claims to have information on the suspect's identity. Sonic and Tails meet him at an automotive wrecking yard in Ruby City, and he states that his research uncovered the identity of one of the junkyard's former employees, a hedgehog known only as Scourge. According to other employees, Scourge had an unhealthy fixation with the cars that were being sent to die and often talked disparagingly about women.
Upon visiting Scourge's address, Sonic and Tails discover that Scourge isn't home. However, Vanilla the Rabbit – his landlady – offers further insights: apparently, Scourge was more keen on spending time with his van as opposed to staying in his room. Acting on a hunch, Sonic calls Amy, fearing that she might be re-victimized. Using her information, him and Tails attempt to intercept her before Scourge does. Fortunately, they catch up to her before Scourge can ram her off the road, and in the ensuing chase, Scourge is run off the road. He survives the crash and attempts to open fire on Sonic and Tails, but they finish him off, much to Shadow and Ruby's displeasure. Shadow and Ruby also reveal themselves to be agents of the Royal Criminal Investigation Bureau. Feeling good about his victory, Sonic not only gives Amy a hug, but also kisses Shadow. Amy is angered by this, but then Shadow suggests a new idea: Amy goes out with Sonic every other day, and Shadow goes out with him every other day after that. They then kiss Sonic simultaneously, causing him to faint. Amy and Shadow make fun of a concerned Tails, while Ruby assures Tails that Sonic is very lucky.
===Sonic Says===
Scourge is stuck in traffic and gets angry at the other cars, and after Sonic pulls him over, the Blue Blur talks about how to avoid becoming a victim of road rage and how to prevent oneself from becoming the aggressor.
