A/N: Special thanks to Lord Kevin who pointed out to me what a current mess the story was in. hopefully this revision will be better.
Chapter 1
the pain.
that was the first thing that came to mind. the unbelievable, agonizing pain. Robotization...Tristina cursed who ever invented such a cruel process. her light blue fur and quills played in the gentle forest breeze. her bluish grey eyes stared at what were functioning flesh and blood legs. at least, until one hour ago.
"Snivley!" Robotnik had boomed through the monitor. Tristina backed up against the far wall of the roboticizer. Flames shot up from the base as sparks flew from the wires. "The system's overloaded sir, I have to..." Snivley began, but was cut off as another explosion shook the sparking machine.
Tristina shielded her face with her arms as the explosion flung shards of glass at her. when she lowered her arms, Tristina noticed that half the roboticizer's glass chamber was destroyed. Somehow, she had clambered out of the chamber and taken off running.
As she ran, Tristina noticed an odd clicking, whirring and clanking coming from her legs. She reached the border of Robotropolis before she had finally dared to look at her legs. The process had stopped half way.
"Wake up call, guys! the hedgehog has landed!" Tristina's head shot up off her arms at this. curious, Tristina ventured forth on her hands and knees until she came to a rather large leafy bush. peering just beyond the topmost leaves, Tristina spotted a blue hedgehog with red and white sneakers. poking out of the hedgehogs backpack was a small fox kit.
"Wow! how fast did we go, Sonic?" the kit asked, his blue eyes full of spirit and wonder. Tristina allowed herself a small smile at the child. "We were scooting and rooting, little bro." said Sonic in a voice full of gusto. "Aw, no way!" the child exclaimed with awe. "scooting' and rooting'?"
"yep" Tristina looked over to the owner of the weary bleat. the walrus' tool belt laid across his chest, and appeared to be teal in color. his yellow cap had been displaced by one hand that supported his head. his other hand was planted on a nearby tree for support. "scooting and rooting" he echoed, his voice sounding as if he were going to be sick.
As the hedgehog busied himself with a nearby vine, Tristina realized in rapid secession that her only hope was to show herself. standing up on wobbly robotic legs, Tristina began to push past the fern. the child heard the noise first and grabbed the hedgehogs shoulder. "Sonic!" he cried, shaking the limb with all his might.
exhaustion flooded through Tristina's body as Sonic turned in time to see the light blue hedgehog collapse. "Rote, get help!" Sonic cried as Tristina looked at her legs. smoke began to stream from various places on her legs, and Sonic cried out as one leg began to spark. "Please..." Tristina whispered as her head began to feel light. "Please help...me..." Tristina gritted her teeth as a jolt of electricity raced up her spine, and her world went dark.
A/N: Well, that's it for now. As you can see, I based the start of my story on the pilot episode of 'Adventures of Sonic the hedgehog' (SATAM) 'Heads or Tails'. I plan to base future 'Books' on the rest of the episodes as well. (It will be similar to what I am doing with the Harry Potter series, only with Sonic the hedgehog and not Harry Potter)
