Salt from the ocean filled the air of South Island as the animals of Green Hill went about their day. The sky was exceptionally blue and the sounds of wind rustling leaves of the nearby trees was crisp and refreshing. Everything was peaceful as it should be, however the peace would not last for long.
Among the animals living on South Island was the free-spirited blue hedgehog named Sonic. He was about the age of fifteen and all of the animals of South Island looked up to Sonic as a courageous warrior, who defended the island from many an evil. However, the blue hedgehog was not yet prepared the evil that dared to approach.
Episode 1: Enter: The Super Sonic Blue Hedgehog Appears!
One day, Sonic awoke from one of his naps to find Green Hill deserted. He looked everywhere for all of his friends, until he saw a horrible sight. One of his friends were being placed inside of a horrid contraption by a round man with a bald head and a large mustache. The man floated in the air inside of another strange machine.
"Who the heck are you?" cried Sonic towards the portly man, assuming an attack stance.
The man turned to Sonic and grinned.
"I never imagined one of you monsters could talk," grinned the sinister man. "Anyways, my name is Dr. Robotnik. You see, I have come here to fuel my massive robot army with your petty friends. However, that is not all."
"You said your name was Eggman?" Sonic interrupted, obviously not listening.
"No, that's not right," Eggman said in confusion.
"Whatever you say, Eggman," Sonic sighed as he shook his head.
"I am NOT Eggman!" Eggman cried in rage. "What makes you even get the idea that my name is Eggman?"
Sonic looked at the egg-shaped man in confusion.
"I dunno," Sonic replied. "I guess I'm good at guessing names, that's all."
Eggman's face turned beet red in anger.
"Shut up, you insolent rodent!" Eggman bellowed. "Now, tell me, where is the Chaos Emerald?"
Sonic suddenly looked at the villain in interest.
"Chaos Emerald?" Sonic asked. "What is that?"
"You mean you don't know?" Eggman questioned in a sinister tone. "Not only are you insolent, but you appear to be ignorant as well. The Chaos Emeralds are six stones said to be capable of bestowing unlimited power upon their collector. I, Dr. Robotnik, intend to collect them to fuel my greatest invention!"
"Really?" Sonic replies, obviously no longer caring. "So, what is that, an egg beater?"
At this comment, the doctor began to fume with rage, before flying away. Sonic, being the hero that he is, decided to give chase to the evil doctor. After a few minutes, Sonic realizes that Eggman has found the Chaos Emerald he was looking for.
"Such radiance," the man marveled as he held the stone at eye level. "To think that I need to find only five of these before I can create Robotnikland!"
"Robotnikland?" Sonic burst into laughter. "What is that, an amusement park? Hahaha!"
"Do you find that amusing, rodent?" Eggman grumbled in a low tone. "How about I show you just how 'amusing' I can be! Hohohoho!"
Out of the bottom of Eggman's floating vehicle came a gigantic wrecking ball that dropped a few feet below the doctor.
"I had planned to make you join my robot army," Eggman cackled with a flicker of evil in his voice. "But, now I think I'll just kill you instead!"
"H-hey, big guy," Sonic said nervously. "No need to get so angry, now. Can we put this behind us?"
Eggman cackled venomously as the wrecking ball begin to violently swing in random directions. Sonic narrowly dodged one of the attacks before nearly being crushed by another. Sonic seemingly danced between attacks, trying to get closer to the mad scientist.
"No living creature can outrun my Egg Wrecker, not even you, rodent!" Eggman cackled as the wrecking ball sped up.
"Who are you calling a rodent, Doc?" Sonic asked while jumping out of the way of another swing of the ball.
"Why, you, my dear friend," Eggman beamed with an evil tone. "Hohohoho!"
"Sorry, Eggman, but I won't stand for that!" Sonic replied as he seemingly disappeared.
"What!?" Eggman cried, looking for Sonic. "You can use Chaos Control?"
"Never heard of that," Sonic replied from behind and above Eggman. "I'm just a guy who is nothing less than the fastest thing alive!"
"Fastest thing alive?" Eggman gasped in disbelief. "Why, that's impossible!"
"Heh," Sonic laughed as he dived towards the doctor. "Nothing is impossible when you're Sonic the Hedgehog!"
"S-s-s-sonic the Hedgehog!?" Eggman stammered desperately. "Wait, I beg you, stop!"
"This is for my friends, Eggman!" Sonic cried as he curled up into a ball, exposing his razor sharp quills. "Sonic Spin Attack!"
Sonic drove his sharp quills into Eggman's vehicle, causing it to explode into shards of debris.
"Stupid... hedgehog... who are... you calling... 'Eggman'...," Eggman gasped as he slowly fell to the ground.
"Leave this island, Eggman," Sonic growled solemnly as he landed near the rubble. "You aren't welcome on South Island."
"You stupid hedgehog!" cried Eggman as he flew from the rubble in a fully repaired vehicle. "Good thing I installed that auto-repair feature to the Eggmobile."
"Eggman!" Sonic gasped in shock before realizing the absurdity of what was just said. "Wait, did you just say 'Eggmobile'?"
"Shut up, hedgehog!" Eggman interrupted as he flew into the horizon. "You are mistaken in thinking that you've won! I have the Emerald, not you, and now I must find the other five that rest on this island. However, mark my words, today is the day I curse the name 'Sonic the Hedgehog'."
"And I'll make sure you never forget it!" Sonic laughed as he sped in pursuit of the fleeing Doctor.

Commentary Corner: Whew, this is the first Episode of the Sonic Speed Adventures series. Sadly, this is also in my opinion, the hardest arc to write. There will be seven Episodes in total that will encompass the first story arc, so it'll be awhile before the story starts to get good. If you haven't guessed by now, this fanfic is a retelling or rather a revision of the Sonic storyline, all the way from Sonic 1 to Sonic Unleashed and beyond.
Look for a new episode every Friday! That's all for now, hope to see your comments as to what can and can't be improved. Thank you for reading!
