The Demon And The Hedgehog

By DemonOfAnime And The Chuckinator

Chapter 1: Rin's Arrival

In the city of Station Square another battle was raging on between the blue-spiked wonder; Sonic the Hedgehog and his mad scientists enemy, Eggman. He curled into a ball and bounded off of the machine the doctor had made. His two teammates, Knuckles and Tails, were there as back-up. He bounced quite a ways away from the robot until he heard a snort and looked behind him to see a teenage boy, wearing a school uniforms with messy night-coloured hair. The hedgehog's eyes widen at seeing the kid. How was he here and why was he sleeping while a battle was going on?

Sonic looked at the boy, concerned. He picked the boy up and ran out of harm's way. Sonic felt a small stir come from him; knowing he wasn't used to the difference of comfort. The boys' eyes opened, revealing sharp orbs of radiant blue. When he looked at the hedgehog carrying him he out and pushed himself away, getting dropped in the process.

The two of them feel on their back backside while the boy just stared at Sonic in shock. "W...What the hell?"

"Hey," Sonic said. "You okay?"

The boy spluttered for moment, shocked and pointed a finger at Sonic. "How can you...talk? Are you another type of demon?" This confused Sonic. Demon?

"Demon? What are you talking about? I'm no demon. I'm an anthropomorphic hedgehog. The name's Sonic. Sonic The Hedgehog!"

Sonic did a thumbs up pose as he stood up and Rin just gawked at him. "A talking hedgehog?" His demeanour completely changed as he jumped to his feet and exclaimed in excitement, "So cool! My name is Rin Okumura!" The teen then looked around and scratched his head. "This doesn't look like True Cross. Did I take a wrong key?"

"You're in Station Square, a city on Earth."

Rin blinked at hearing this and turned back to the hedgehog with a look of surprise on his face. "I'm in a different city?" Sonic nodded and Rin groaned. "My brother is gonna kill me."

"You have a brother? How'd you get here?" Sonic asked.

Rin shrugged his shoulders at the questions. "I don't really know." A boom sounded from down the street and Sonic mentally groaned. He had forgotten about the battle he had been having with Eggman to get this teen to safety. He had to finish what he started.

"I have to go. Be back in a few."

He ran off. Rin blinked, surprised at how fast the hedgehog could run.

"T...That was fast..." Rin stuttered out, shocked. He shook his head and held onto the black strap that held that red case over his shoulder. He wasn't going to just listen to someone he just met. He wanted to see this action for him! He ran down the street to see what was going on. Once he got there he saw a giant robot in the shape of crab attacking buildings while Sonic and two others helped him. Rin just stared; his eyes fixated on the robot. His eyes then, shone brightly in hardly contained joy. "This like watching a battle in a Shonen Manga!"

He smiled as he watched Sonic and the others battle. Rin looked at the person they were fighting.

"Give it up, Eggman!" Sonic yelled.

The fat man laughed at what the blue hedgehog said. "Why Sonic, how can I? When our battle has only just begun!" Rin's gaze lowered the stomach of the crab and his eyes widened when he saw a tube-like thing inside with a demon inside. It was a Goblin; an earth-type demon.

"How'd that guy get his hands on a demon?" Rin asked, staring at the man in the head-compartment.

Sonic blinked, wondering what that was. Then he grinned.

"It doesn't matter what you throw at me, Egghead, I can still defeat you!"

Rin watched as Sonic curled into a spiky ball lunged himself at Eggman's machine. He went straight though the middle just above the demon and Rin groaned. 'Damn. What an idiot. Now we have a loose demon.' As the machine exploded on itself and Eggman flew away, cursing Sonic; the hedgehog landed beside his friends. The demon however, flew out of the wreckage and down the straight with large grin on its face as the Sonic team watched surprised.

"What the heck is that thing?" Sonic asked Tails.

The fox looked at Sonic and just shrugged his shoulders at Sonic's question which equaled in a frown from said hedgehog. If there was something Tails didn't know then that was something Sonic Had to be ready for just in case.

Rin frowned and looked in the direction the demon was going. It was...heading straight for him! Rin cried out in shock as he dodged the demon's sharp claws as a cackle escaped its lips. Rin growled and turned around to face it. "You wanna pick a fight with me!" It just laughed and flew off into the sky, laughing. Rin tsked and straightened the strap on his shoulder only...his gaze went to his shoulder and his eyes bugged out of their sockets! "That little bastard!"

He ran over to Sonic, and everyone looked at him.

"Who's this, Sonic?" Tails asked.

"His name's Rin," Sonic said.

The red echidna frowned, cocking his to the side with folded arms. They all thought the kid's name was strange. Though he must come from another city.
"Did you see what way that Goblin went?" Rin asked as he looked around as if panicked.

"No, we didn't," Knuckles said. "How do you know what it was?"

Rin swallowed; wondering how to explain that that was a demon from another dimension. Before he could he heard a familiar laugh and growled to himself and turned around to see a man dress in white; perched on edge of a building. "Dear boy, you should be more careful with this thing!" The red case was thrown to Rin and he clumsily caught it as the man dropped to the ground before him. "You know what will happen if you lose it."

"Piss off, clown..." Rin growled at him.

The man just laughed as if it was a game to him. "Is that anyway to speak to your elders?" Rin held up a fist as if read to punch him.

"Um...who's that?" Sonic asked Rin.

The two just ignored Sonic which didn't seem to please him or his friends. "Where did you send me?" Rin asked, sounding annoyed.

This seemed to make the man burst into laughter. "I thought you could use a break from True Cross!"

Rin just glared at the man with a huff. "Is this another one of your games?" Rin got read to take his sword from its case. "Because if it is..."

"No. No. I sent you because of..." He coughed as if to give it extra emphasis. "...'reasons'."

"ARE YOU SHITTING ME!" Rin shouted.

"Language, Mr Okumura. This is a kids show." The man waggled a finger in front of pissed of teen. He then, looked at his pocket watch and clicked his tongue. "I should be going. Don't cause too much trouble. Ta Ta!" He was the gone in a pink 'POOF' leaving Rin gob-smacked at what he was just told.
