Why hello, my fellow authors!! What you are about to read will be something absolutley amazing!! This story will be part of a new series I'm working on, as this was inspired from the Sonic Leaders Forum, and all those Authors who were involved with it! And now...where is it? (Looks over to the Bookshelf)...I know it's here somewhere...(Pulls out a dusty book) Ah, here we go!! (Blows the dust off, revealing the title Orcania) This is a good story, I can tell you that, for sure! There shall be ROMANCE, ADVENTURE, and let's not forget some of that ground pounding, super de duper ACTION!!!

Also, these new stories do not begin from anything whatsoever! They are all made up, but they shall be remembered, as they were written from the nicest Author there is in the Forum. Okay, they might continue from Rise of the Viral, but each one of them will start in a different pathway. The TRUE story that will continue from Rise of the Viral, will be my new story Earth's Turmoil, so it's best that we should all keep our eyes open, just in case. X3

(Walks over to a chair) Now then...Shall we begin? (Sits down and opens up book, as everything closes up on the pages...)


Chapter 1: A Vacation Gone Wrong (Part 1):

The scene shifts over to a far off city that was known to be Station Square. Everything here was simple enough, like how other ordinary cities were like; on the other hand, this city was never normal enough. Not for a certain blue hedgehog, for that matter. Somewhere outside the city, and into the forest on a wide open field, there layed a blue hedgehog that wore nothing but white gloves, and red white stripped shoes with a gold buckle on each shoe; plus he had emerald green eyes. What our favourite blue hedgehog was busy doing, was what seemed to be...relaxing? A little odd, but the blue hedgehog was actually relaxing, even though he's usually running around the world, but right now, he was lying under a tall tree, unaware that a certain someone was going to come after him soon.

"Sonic!!"

Once the blue hedgehog now known as Sonic, he quickly opened his eyes, and looked over to see where the voice was coming from. Right when he looked over behind the tree, there was nothing...except when something had tackled him to the ground.

"Amy!! Not now!!" Sonic exclaimed, after pushing the figure off of him.

The figure known as Amy, was a pink hedgehog that wore a red dress, with a red hairband to hold her long quills. Plus she was wearing two gold rings around her wrists, while wearing white gloves, and red and white stripped boots. And not to mention she had sea green eyes, which were glimmering in the sunlight. She seemed to be in what appeared to be an excited mood, which was making Sonic feel a little uneasy.

"Come on, Sonic!" Amy pleaded, before pulling something out. "Look what I got in the mail!" she said, after handing out an envelope to Sonic.

"Let's see...Congradulations, you have now been chosen as one of the lucky winners to recieve a free vacation trip, on one of our best Cruise lines!" Sonic read the note out loud, before looking at Amy again. "This could be a good thing. Maybe I won't have to see Amy for a LONG while!" he snickered in his mind; Amy looked a little confused on what Sonic was snickering about. "Oh darn! Looks like you've won a cruise vacation, but you won't be able to see me for a while!" Sonic successfully lied, before noticing Amy was smiling.

"Oh Sonic, don't you know? All of our friends are coming too!!" Amy said happily; Sonic facefaulted.

"Well...at least I won't have to deal with Shadow." he shrugged. "So your all going then?"

"Aren't YOU coming too? I'm pretty sure that you got mail also." Amy responded; Sonic just hoffed.

"Yeah right, like I'd ever go on a..." Sonic laughed, before running off to his apartment; Amy sweat dropped, before walking back to her place.


"10 Minutes Later..."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" was all everyone in Station Square could hear, as Sonic was screaming his head off, when he discovered that he was coming too; there was an envelope in his hand to prove it. "Why does the Universe hate me?!?! WHY?!?!?!" he shouted, before something snapped into his head. "Wait...Maybe I don't have to go! Yeah, I can just run from it all--wait a minute. I NEVER run from a problem!" he exclaimed. "But I know how much I hate water..." he said uneasily, while walking around his blue room.

While he was pondering for a few moments, a knock was heard from his door, as it startled the blue hedgehog abit.

"Come in!" Sonic called, before a figure had entered. "Hey, Tails! And Knuckles, how's it been you two?" he said.

The one known as Tails was a yellow fox, that wore white gloves, and white shoes; he also had blue eyes and two tails. The other one was a red echidna that had a crescant moon shaped on his chest, and he wore white gloves and mittins with two spikes on each knuckle; and he had purple eyes.

"So you guys are coming too, am I correct?" Sonic guessed; they both nodded. "I understand you Tails, but Knuckles?"

"I have NO idea WHERE this envelope came from, but I guess it would be time, that'd I take a vacation at some point. I was thinking of getting Team Chaotix to take care of the Master Emerald while I'm gone." Knuckles explained, while holding onto an envelope also.

"Yeah!! This will be so cool!! Just the whole gang together...it'll be an awesome vacation!" Tails said excitedly.

"Uh...yeah...really awesome...can't wait..." Sonic said, before passing out; the others just sweatdropped.


"5 Days Later..."

It was the day of the departure, and all of Sonic's friends were waiting at the bus stop so the blue hedgehog would show up; he didn't show up yet. Not only Amy, Tails, and Knuckles were there, but a few others were there too. One of them was a cat that was light purple, and wore a purple jacket with white pants, and white gloves, with a ring to hold her hair up, and some red and white shoes; she also had golden eyes. The other one was a white bat, that was wearing a black T-shirt with a pink heart at the chest, and was wearing black boots, with a pair of blue jeans; she had aqua green eyes also. The one next to her was a white hedgehog that wore white gloves with light blue symbols on each palm, and a pair of black and light blue shoes; he had yellow brownish eyes. And the last one was a small tan colored rabbit that had a orange dress, with matching shoes, and a blue ribbon on her chest; she also had white gloves, and brown eyes.

"Where is he?!?!" Knuckles shouted.

"He's probably still packing." Tails suggested.

"Or maybe he's trying to get away from the cruise lines." the white bat noted. "But don't worry, I got Shadow to fix that, just in case." she winked.

"You know what? Let's just go. Let that Sonic be stubborn!" Amy pouted, before picking up her bags.

They looked like they were getting fed up with waiting for Sonic, so they looked over to see the next bus that was currently arriving. Right when it got close, a flash of light had appeared as if from nowhere, as the mobians looked over to see not only Sonic, but another hedgehog that was holding him by the ear. It was a black hedgehog that had red streaks across his arms and legs, and he had red highlights on his quills. Plus he also wore white gloves, with red cuffs, and gold rings on his wrists, along with white rocket shoes. This hedgehog was probably Shadow that the bat had mentioned.

"I've finally got Faker, so can we go now?" Shadow asked irritably, while having his grip on Sonic's ear.

"It's about time!" Amy said impatiently. "Please be reasonable, Sonic!! We just want you to have some fun!!"

"Okay okay, I'll go!! Just let go of my ear now!!" Sonic pleaded; Shadow had quickly let go, letting him fall on the ground. "Thanks." he said sarcasticly. "So everyone's here. Rouge is here, Cream is also here, and I'm surprised to see Silver and Blaze here!" he said surprisingly.

"I've never been on a cruise ship before, since there never was any safe place to do it in the future!" the white hedgehog known as Silver exclaimed.

"I bet this'll be fun!" the cat now adressed as Blaze agreed.

"It's a good thing my mom is looking after Cheese while I'm gone!" the rabbit known as Cream smiled.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!!" the bat named Rouge exclaimed, before all the mobians picked up their bags, and carried them into the bus, while they were unaware that a certain Egg-Mobile was floating right above them.

The figure that was sitting on the floating machine, was wearing a red jacket, with black pants that were attached to his matching black boots, and he also wore goggles on his bald head, and some blue spectacles, along with white gloves. Not only that, but his body was shaped like an egg, and he had a big orange mustache. This man seemed a little happy about something, as if this was some perfect oppertunity or something.

"Well well well." the man said with glee. "A cruise ship, hmm? This is a PERFECT oppertunity to anihhilate my enemies once and for all!! Once they're out of the way, Eggman Land will finally come to be!!" he laughed, as he had adressed himself as Eggman.

And withone finaly laugh, the sinister Doctor had flew after the bus, as it was heading for Emerald Coast.


"5 Hours Later..."

After their departure, and finding a way to get Sonic to stay on the boat (Luckily Shadow used that shoulder squeezing technique on the blue hedgehog), everyone was heading to their rooms, which were located on First Class. The ship was pretty big and everything, including the part where the lobby was HUGE on the inside. Shadow was carrying Sonic, while everyone else was carrying their bags.

"So where is first class?" Rouge asked.

"It should be on the front of the ship, I'm guessing." Tails replied, before they all walked over to where their rooms were.

Right when they had gotten to the doors that had their numbers, after walking past a few decks, and alot of hallways, the gang had entered their rooms, and were absolutley amazed at what they saw. Everyone's room were all the same, but they had many golden painted walls, and a giant King Sized bed (there was only one in each room for some reason), and plus a lovely veiw from the windows they had. Not only that, but they had really nice bathrooms, and plus the rooms were quite big.

"Amazing!!" Amy said in awe.

"Man are we ever lucky!" Blaze agreed with excitement.

"Looks like we'll be sharing a room with eachother then!" Cream said, before looking at Blaze.

"I guess it's you and me, Sonic!" Tails said, before realizing that Sonic was still unconscious. "Or not."

"...Then that means I'm going with Rouge then..." Knuckles said dully, before looking at Rouge.

"I don't like anymore than you do, Knucklehead." Rouge retorted.

"Whatever." Shadow unemotionally said; he dropped Sonic after walking into his room. "If you all need me, I'll be taking a nap."

"...What's going on?" Sonic asked tiredly, after getting up.

"Your gonna be bunking with me, Sonikku!!" Amy said happily, before Sonic ran behind Tails.

"Uhh...sorry Amy...but I'm going with Tails tonight!" Sonic said nervously.

"Okay then, but I'll see you at the party tonight then!" Amy winked, before the girls entered their room; Rouge still had no choice but to go with Knuckles, since there wasn't any room in the girls room, and Shadow would never let anyone sleep with him.

And so, everyone went into their chosen rooms to unpack, while Eggman was hiding somewhere in the lower parts of the ship. But soon all of them would be unaware of what may lie in store for them in the near future, as it looked like on the news that there'd be a storm on the Pacific...
