Prolog
Sonic the Hedgehog stood in front of Princess Sally Acorn , In front
of them was Robotnik and around them were sixty or more swatbots .
"Give it up Hedgehog , this time I have you and you can't get away ,"
Robotnik stated and he took a canister and threw it at there feet . Out of
the Canister leaked a gas , suddenly it seemed to attack Sonic .
Sonic grabbed his throat , he couldn't breath , it felt as if his throat
and his chest were burning hot and on fire . Sonic felt himself pitching
forward towards the ground and he saw black spots starting to appear in
his eyes . At that second Sonic knew he a part of him was dying , then all
went Dark and quiet .
There was a bright light and Sonic knew he was running through a
pink and red tunnel , as he ran he felt as if he was getting smaller and
smaller . On his body his spikes and fur seemed to be fading away , he
felt his memories flowing away . He closed his eyes , suddenly he was
wet and cold .
He opened his eyes to a bright new world .
Chapter One
Sally Acorn was scared , somehow Robotnik had done something to
Sonic with a strange kind of gas , which seemed only to effect Sonic .
Robotnik laughed evily and suddenly the swatbots were gone
somehow melting into the forest as if they were actually never there .
"Don't worry little freedom fighter this time it was for Sonic , now
that Sonic is dying he can't get in the way of my plans and in my way ,"
Robotnik laughed and got into his large hovercraft and flew away .
Sally quickly got over to Sonics side , he was breathing shallowy
and seemed to be unable to control his breathing . Sally touched him and
gasped , his body was getting colder by the second and he wasn't dead
yet .
Sally quickly got out her handheld radio and contacted Knothole
village for the medical emergency squad .
"What's wrong with him Dr. Panda , please tell me ?" Princess Sally
Acorn begged the Doctor who was a small Panda with a pair of glasses on
his face and a lab coat on . The Panda sighed and told her the bad news .
"He is dying Princess , what ever kind of gas was in that canister
that Robotnic put in seems to have robbed Sonic of something very
important . His life force was what was . That is also known as his soul
with all his memories . If we don't find out where it went soon Sonics
body will literally fade away ," Doctor Panda said .
"Where would his life force have gone ?" Bunny said as she entered
the intensive care room in the Doctors hut , as she closed the door they
had a glimpse of many Freedom Fighters outside trying to see in .
"Nicole follow the energy trail left behind by Sonics life force,"
Sally ordered the AI Computer ( Artificial Intelligence ) , the AI Made a
whirling sound and a ticking sound . Then finally twenty minutes later
the AI beeped .
"Princess Sally I have Found the information you need ," the
computer said and the beeping stopped and information appeared on
Nicole's screen . The Freedom Fighters in the room crowded as close as they
could to see .
Suddenly Sally groaned for Sonics life force had gone through a
time warp hole which led directly to the earth . Also on the screen was
the information that Sonic had been reborn as a human .
"Earth , we have to go to Earth to get Sonics life force back ." Sally
said and she broke down crying , Bunny hugged her trying to calm her
down .
Sally , Bunny and Rotor slipped on there gear , on each of there
wrists there was a small metal bracelet with buttons . They were all
wearing suits which looked like human blue jeans and white sleeveless
T-shirts .
"Nicole open a time dimension gate nearest to the location of
Sonics life force as you can ," Sally said to the AI Computer . A black
hole like thing opened up in front of them , quickly they pressed a button
on there bracelets and a hologram appeared over the three of there normal
forms making them look like humans ( Rotor had cooked them up
earlier ) and they stepped through the gate into the human world .
Chapter Two
James woke up shivering , he had had the dream again where he
was fighting in a weird world of robots and walking talking animals ,
then there was this fat guy and then he was dying . He then would hear
someone saying "Sonic don't go , please don't leave me alone ," then he would
wake up in his bed in a panic .
James got out of bed yawning , it was morning but to his luck it was
summer and he had no school till September . He Changed into a pair of
blue shorts and a short sleeved T-shirt , he then slipped on a pair of white
socks and a pair of red and black sneakers onto his feet .
James looked into his mirror and frowned at his naturally strange
blue colored hair and decided not to brush it for it had a look of
spikes . Any way his friends had already given him the nickname Spike
for it and they wouldn't mind his hair like this .
He ran out of his room grabbing his skateboard , he ran down the
stairs and out of the house . Then he was on his way to the park to meet
his friends .
Sally , Bunny and Rotor landed on there knees on the other side
of the gate and it closed behind them , soon it was as if it was never ever
there .
Sally looked at Rotor and Bunny , Bunny disguise was of a human
girl about the age fourteen with lightly tanned skin and dusky brown
hair , she had light blue eyes . Rotors was slightly pudgy with deeply tanned
skin and raven black hair , he also looked the age fourteen . Sally looked
into a nearby puddle of water in front of her and gasped seeing someone
and not her usual self . The reflection had an olive skin complection and
dark brown hair and blue eyes . Like the other two she looked the age
fourteen .
The three of them dusted there knees as they got up and then they
went to look for Sonics human form .
Sally walked across the empty street looking this way and that ,
hearing a rumbling sound she turned around and screamed as she saw a
huge metal vehicle . She felt frozen to the spot , the vehicle beeped its horn
but Sally didn't move , she was like a deer in a cars headlights on a dark
night.
Suddenly she felt a warm breeze , she felt someone lifting her up
and pulling her to the side of the road .Then she was on the sidewalk
panting at the wonder of excape . "Thanks!" she said to her rescuer as
she regained her calm .
"That's okay , just use the crosswalk , next time I won't be there
to rescue you in time ," a young male voice said .
"My name is Sally ," Sally said to the voice , she looked up and
blinked . A teenage human stood there and she knew it once that this was
Sonic , it wasn't the blue hair and blue eyes , she could see him in this
human .
"I'm James , nice to meet you but I have to juice , I'm late for a
contest . See you around ," Sonc/James said and he jumped onto a
small board with wheels and sped away on it . Sally watched after him
not believing but also believing that this James was Sonics human
form .
"Thats Sonic ?" Sally heard Bunny say in a shocked voice .
"Yes Bunny , now how do we get him to Mobius ." Sally said and
started thinging up plans.
"I don't know but lets follow him around for the rest of the day so
we know more about this James who is also Sonic ," Rotor suggested and
they agreed and started to follow James .
Chapter three
James frowned all afternoon . He had hungout with his friends ,
first at the park he had won a skateboard contest and then at lunch at
McDonalds , now he was at the Arcade playing his favorite Sega game
Roadrunner Unbeatable . Yeah right he thought , he could beat this game
in record time while everyone else couldn't get out of the second
level .
James suddenly felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise , looking
behind him he spotted the girl Sally he had saved from a truck , with her
were two others , one looked like an angel and the other one reminded
him of a walrus .
"Hi Sally come watch me play , your friends can come too ," he said
and he watched as Sally smiled and walked towards him .
Sally watched James play the game on the machine , even though
he didn't remember being Sonic he still acted like Sonic . She smiled when
she had seen the food she had seen him eating at the fast food place , he
had been eating chili dogs as always .
Suddenly she watched James stop the game and turn around , he
quickly spotted her .
"Hi Sally come watch me play , your friends can come too ," he
said , Sally smiled at him thinking of how much he acted like Sonic in his
human form.
"What level are you in James ?" Sally asked him and in her mouth
she quickly bit her cheek to stop herself from accidently calling him
Sonic . "Level 3 Sal ," he said not taking his eyes off the screen
now .
Suddenly there was a beeping noise and she saw a game over sign
on the game screen .
"Nuts again ," James said glaring at the game machine . "But next
time your toast machine ," James said to the machine.
"So Sal who are your two friends there ?" James asked her , Sally
sighed silently feeling downcast and sadness well up inside of her
disguise , Sonic still didn't remember them .
"This is my friend Bunny and this is Rotor , James ," Sally told him
wishing he would remember them .
"Well since I'm done playing my game why don't I treat you and
your two friends to this great chili dog place I know ," James said , they
agreed and headed out . As they were on there way through a park to
the chili dog place she nodded to Bunny who then hit him on the
head , his eyes rolled back and he fell towards the ground where
Rotor caught him .
"Lets go home , mission complete ," Sally said and Nicole her AI
opened the way home . As it opened completely they stepped through it to
home .
Princess Sally of the planet Mobius watched the human sleep , she
was now out of her suit and was looking like her usual squirrel self .
The way she saw it was that he slept just like he had when he was
Sonic , his face had a small smile on it and his legs were falling in all
directions . In conclusion his position made him look like a rag doll .
Smiling she left the guest hut he was staying in and went to look at
Sonics body to see how much time they had .
Chapter Four
James woke up with a start , he was in a strange bed and in an even
stranger room , looking around he realized that he was actually in the
front room of a small hut . James frowned feeling a nagging at the back
of his mind as if this was all familiar .
"Your awake I see young human ," a low voice said , James
turned his head around startled . He had not realized that someone was
in the room with him . Standing at the door was 4 foot 5 Panda , it was
wearing an official off white doctors coat and an medicle instrument
around his neck .
"Ah , this is your first time seeing a Mobian ," the panda said and
it sat down in a chair . "I'm Doctor Panda and I already know your names
James ," the panda said .
"Okay Doctor , then since we have done our introductions could you
please tell me where I am and why I am here ?" James asked the panda
and he heard a sound of panic in his voice .
"Well you are on the planet Mobius and you are here because of a
little problem with one of our members ," Doctor Panda said .
"What kind of a problem sir ?" James asked Doctor Panda , the
panda motioned for him to follow him out of the hut and James got up
and started to follow him .
James followed the panda through barely established streets , he
saw houses in trees and strange burrows which he saw a few rabbit
Mobians going in and out of . He noticed that they were staring at him
and he wondered if they had never seen a human before , he even
noticed a few fox Mobians whispering to there neighbors and pointing
at him .
"In here James ," Doctor Panda said and they entered a painted
white hut which was much larger then the other huts he had seen , inside
the walls they were also a white color . There were three beds in this
room , one held a minx looking about the age five in it who had a broken
leg , the other two were empty .
At the back of the room was another door , above it was a white
washed sign which said "Emergency & Intensive care Room ."
"Please do not make much noise in here , this patient is in critical
condition ," Doctor Panda said as they entered the room . The room was also
white washed , there were two beds in the room , the one by the window
was occupied by a unmoving Mobian .
"What's wrong with him ?" James asked the doctor and he felt
himself getting dizzy , he put a hand on a chair to steady himself .
"This is Sonic the Hedgehog the fastest thing on Mobius , a while
ago an enemy used a strange gas on him and ever since he has been
dying slowly because his life force fled onto another world ," Doctor
Panda explained .
"Then why do you need me ?" James asked the Doctor Panda
wondering what they would want of him .
"Touch him James , you might be surprised at the conclusion ,"
Doctor Panda answered him .
James walked over to the unconcience hedgehog , as he got nearer
the worse he felt , his head felt as if would fall off and his stomach felt
as if it should be emptied . He reached out his hand to touch him . Then
he then knew who he was and what he had to do .
Epilog
Sally slipped in the intensive care room before the door closed
behind the doctor and James , she watched them and listened wondering
if there plan would work . Wide eyed she watched as James reached out
a hand to touch Sonic .
Suddenly the room was full of light , shading her eyes Sally could
see where it was coming from , it was coming from between James hand
and Sonics body . Suddenly James turned his head towards her and
mouthed the words good-bye , and before her eyes he seemed to fade
into nothingness . Sally blinked not believing her eyes that it had
worked .
"Anybody get the number of the hover craft that hit me ?" a tired
voice said , Sonic was sitting up in bed and looking at them .
"Sonic your back!" Sally cried and she hugged him as hard as she could
"What happened to me Sal?" Sonic asked and Sally told him what had
happened to him and everything they had done .
"That is so totally wierd, its like I have another persons memories in
my head Sal," Sonic said and he rubbed at his eyes and yawned.
"Oh Sonic I so missed you , and all your corny jokes to ," Sally said and
she hugged him.
Sonic smiled and slowly fell asleep, Sally looked at him for a few
minutes till the doctor told her she had to leave.
Sonic woke up with a start, it had been one hour since Sally had saved
him and he knew something else was wrong with him. He already had two
memories running around his head one being his own and the other beings
James, but where was this third memory coming from and who was
Jason. Sonic frowned and knew he was going to find out even if he didn't
want to.
