Years ago when I first watched Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, it helped me learn a little bit about the Greek gods. So I thought maybe I can write something similar like that. The movie really inspired me a lot.
Sonic characters belongs to (c) SEGA.
Long ago when Kronos was destroyed, his three powerful sons, Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon, drew lots to decide who would rule.
Zeus became ruler of the skies and king of the gods in Mount Olympus; Hades ruled the underworld; and Poseidon ruled the seas.
Zeus was given thunder and lightning with which he ruled the skies. Poseidon was given a trident with which he could command the waves. Hades was given a magic helm which made the wearer invisible.
After World War 2, the three brothers took a solemn oath on the river styx that they would have no more affairs with mortal women, so no more powerful demigods would be born. But did they all keep their promise?
(Sonic's POV)
Here I am again going to school getting picked on and bullied every day. Just because I have speed, enhanced senses, and enhanced everything. Sometimes I feel like I'm not a normal mobian like everyone else.
My name is Sonic the Hedgehog and I'm 15 years old, born and raised in Manhattan with my mom. I have no memory of my dad when I was a baby. My mom never talks about him.
Throughout my childhood life I learned to master my speed and hear voices in the skies like the wind howling. Freaky, right? I thought the same too. It's like being a spirit animal of an eagle in America. Like I believe that the eagle has the power to give people freedom. Or so I think.
Today we were going on a field trip to the National History Museum. Great, just to get away from mean kids. Teachers are useless to teach bullies a lesson.
But one thing is strange is that I understand ancient Greek. Which I have no idea why without learning it. I hope I'm not going crazy or whatever.
"You're such a freak, hog! You don't belong here!" The bully kid still getting on my nerves the other day. It's time that I fight back.
"Oh yeah? You're such a bully freak who has no reason to bully someone who doesn't know a thing about me!" I said.
"Whatever" The bully just pulled back.
A close friend of mine, a twin tailed fox appeared by my side, "You know what happens next. Every time you get angry, thunderstorms appear out of nowhere" He said.
"It's like I have control of thunder, Tails" I joked.
"Well I don't like anyone making fun of my twin tails. They are my gift" Tails said.
"But no one understands our flaws. Do you ever get the feeling we're not like normal people?" I asked, in truth I don't blend well with normal people.
"Well yeah, we are very different, our special abilities makes us different. It's no wonder I prefer my nickname Tails than Miles Prower" Miles said.
"I wish there was somewhere that we can belong to. Someone like us. But it's never gonna happen in our life. No matter how many times we transfer to different schools, we get pushed around in one month and it's off to find another one" I said as I skipped going back to the bus field trip, not caring if I got in trouble because the teachers don't care.
(Tails' POV)
I hate seeing him like this but he doesn't know who he is or how he got these gifts. I'm Miles Prower but I prefer as Tails, son of Athena the goddess of wisdom. My best pal Sonic doesn't know he's a demigod like me. It's time that he knows what he is but he's probably gonna get upset for knowing the truth. Time to erase the school's memories of Sonic so it would be like Sonic never existed to this school.
"Sorry Sonic but it's for your own good" I took out a time watch that has the ability to erase memories.
(Sonic's POV)
I got back home early and saw my mom already home from work.
"How was your day Sonic?" Mom asked me.
"Same as usual. And it's gonna be repeated again. No one knows what its like to be me. Is that why dad left us?" I asked.
"Honey, we talked about this. Your father had to leave for a reason" Mom said.
"Whatever it was I still don't get. Did you two get into an argument?" I asked.
"Well in a manner of speaking" Mom said.
"Was he abusive?" I asked.
"No sweetie. Look, sometimes a single parent has to keep their children safe for a reason. Some day when you're old enough to understand, you'll know" Mom said.
"But I'm 15 years old and I deserve to know" I complained.
"When the time is right yes" Mom said.
"He did not love me did he?" I sighed.
"Your father did love you and me but he had to return to his home to keep you and me safe" Mom said.
"I guess so" I replied and gone to my room.
But I wasn't gonna stay in my room, I just jumped out of my window and landed on the ground without injuries. I decided to walk around to clear my mind off. My whole life truly is a mystery, if I ever get to see my mysterious father.
But then I saw something shocking, the birds in the sky has stopped moving and so has everyone and everything but me.
"Time has stopped hasn't it?" A strange green hedgehog appeared, he wore a pair of red shades and flaming jacket.
"Is this a cruel joke or something? It's not even funny!" I yelled, though a little freaked out.
"It's no joke. I'm a special like you. And I can help you learn your true self" The stranger said.
"Whoever you are, I don't like getting help from strangers like you" I backed away. I shouldn't have left my home but I hear hissing like a snake but they are nowhere in sight.
"Well, if that's the case, suit yourself. And by the way the name's Scourge" Scourge said and leaves me, everything goes back to normal. What is going on around here?
Just then, I felt like I was hit by a dart in my neck. I reached and pulled it out and when I took a closer look it was a tranquilizer dart, "Oh, shit" I felt drowsy and dizzy, feeling myself blackout.
(Amy's POV)
I'm Amelia Rosetta but you can call me Amy Rose, daughter of Aphrodite, born in California but raised in Japan. As a kid I thought I was the only demigod on earth but I wasn't alone.
This place for demigods is called Demigod Village hidden on the island near the Pacific Ocean. And of course we have technology thanks to our smart friend two-tailed fox.
"So we have another demigod. And what is he the son of?" I asked Tails who brought an unconscious blue teenage hedgehog to the infirmary room.
"His name is Sonic the Hedgehog and we'll tell him once he's awake" Tails said.
"Does he know he's a demigod?" I asked.
"No he does not. He needs to know the truth" Tails said and looks down at Sonic. I got to say Sonic looks really cute.
Soon enough, he was starting to wake up, "Ohhhhh…. my head"
"Rise and shine, Mr. Sonic" I said, hoping he regains himself.
"Where am I? And who are you? And Tails why are you here?!" Sonic asked.
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa! Just stay calm! Breathe, Sonic!" Tails said.
"Explain because I'm freaking out now!" Sonic demanded.
I hate doing this but being the daughter of Aphrodite can help everything. My kiss is not regular; my kiss brings calm and relaxation to those who have negative emotions.
I kissed Sonic on the lips and I felt him struggling but he calms down before I pulled away.
He just stares for a moment and then takes a deep breath, "Okay, Okay. I just got kissed by some strange girl in the middle of nowhere with Tails and..."
"Sonic! Listen. You are here for a reason" Tails said.
"And what is that?" He asked.
"Sonic, you are wondering why you're different. The truth is you're a demi-god" Tails said.
"Is this a dream or a joke?" Sonic did not believe us.
"Ask yourself, why do you have super speed and such?" Tails told him.
"Are you saying that my father is a god, my mom is a mobian, which makes me a demigod?" Sonic gasped.
"Yes and you're not alone. I'm also a demigod too. I'm the son of Athena the goddess of wisdom. And you are the son of Zeus the god of the skies and thunder" Tails said.
"I'm loss of words. That figures my speed. What about you girl?" Sonic said and asked me.
"I'm Amy Rose, daughter of Aphrodite" I said.
"Does this mean I have half relatives?" Sonic asked.
"Sort of but we're not half siblings or anything to each other. But you have cousins. Wanna meet them?" I asked.
"Very well" Sonic nodded.
(Shadow's POV)
I'm Shadow, son of Hades the god of the underworld. I was raised in Mexico with my mortal mom. I'm in my room giving my blessings to my mom's ancestors. It's called an ofrenda where Mexicans put photos of their ancestors on the ofrenda so their spirits can cross over to our world.
I have a fashion of goth punk. I'm into black and red. Since Hades is my father, I have the ability to talk to dead people. Even now I speak to my ancestor's souls. That until I heard an announcement outside.
I went out seeing the newest member of the island, a blue hedgehog.
"This is Shadow, son of Hades the god of the underworld" Amy introduces me.
"Greetings Shadow. I'm Sonic the hedgehog, son of Zeus" Sonic held out for a handshake but I refused.
"I don't handshake. But it's nice to meet another cousin. Unlike our youngest naive cousin who gets distracted too much with fish in the ocean" I said.
He looks in my room and notices that I'm a little freaky with skulls or painting face skulls that my mom's family like when it comes to Día de los Muertos.
"I see you're a fan of death skulls like your father" Sonic said.
"Calacas" I corrected him.
"Oh, I guess I read too little of hobbies" Sonic shrugs.
I rolled my eyes, "I'm from Mexico. My mom's family gives honor to the ancestors. Which I do too. And since I'm Hades' son I can see and talk to dead people. Yes, ghosts and spirits" I said.
"That means you have entrance to the underworld right?" Sonic asked me.
"Yes when I first met my father" I said.
"No offense but is your father...evil?" Sonic asked me curiously.
"Mostly yes because he wants to be king of the gods but your father Zeus forbid him to" I said.
"Oh, so I better stay out of his business" Sonic said.
"Good because his three-headed dog eats anything. So you better stay away from the underworld. It's full of death" I smirked.
"Okay, interesting story. Nice to meet you cousin" Sonic chuckled nervously.
"Yes now please leave, I got souls to speak to" I said.
"Shadow, don't be rude. He's just getting to know you" Amy said.
"Right sorry cousin" I apologized.
"Thanks. Now the fish guy" Sonic said.
(Silver's POV)
Good day, mate. I'm Silver, son of Poseidon the god of the seas. I was raised in Australia with my mom who is a zookeeper and loves all Australian animals as much as I love aquatic creatures in the ocean. I have the ability to breathe underwater and talk to fish. And of course, my dad gave me a trident when I was a baby but my mother held onto it when I'm old enough to use it.
What's even more fun is that I know what sea creatures think and can speak their language. So I'm here at the pool alone so I can have more fun breathing underwater. That until I noticed a splash at the surface.
A new demigod I suppose, I swam up to the surface which startled the blue hedgehog like a cat.
"Aaaahhhhh!" He screamed like a girl and held onto Amy.
"Oh I'm sorry did I scare you?" I asked him.
"Not you. I have... hydrophobia" He shivered in fear.
"Oh, well sorry. I'm Silver by the way, son of Poseidon" I jumped out and introduced myself to him.
"Sonic, son of Zeus" He introduced himself.
"Crikey, mate. Another cousin in the family" I said, holding my trident.
"Technically I didn't know I was a demigod an hour ago" Sonic said.
"Cool, it took me some days to get used to it" I said.
"Well I dunno how long for me" Sonic said.
"The only question is why did my dad leave me and my mother" He asked himself.
"Gods can't be on earth forever. The more they stay on Earth the more they become mortal forever. Yes it was sad to be raised by one parent but over time we hear their voices in our heads as a way to communicate with their demigod children" I said.
"I just wish I could see my father once" Sonic sighs, "Throughout my whole life I thought my father abandoned me and my mom but I didn't know that my father was Zeus the whole time. Why didn't my mother tell me?" He asked himself.
"She just wanted to protect you. Uh look I didn't catch your name what was it?" I said but realized I didn't get his name.
"Sonic the Hedgehog" Sonic said.
"And where were you raised in?" I asked.
"Manhattan, New York" Sonic said.
"Me, Australia, mate" I said.
"I can tell by those Australian words you say" Sonic said.
"Yeah. Though our fathers are of Greek myth" I said.
"Heh yes. Say is there more to see?" Sonic asked me.
"Maybe but since you realized you're demigod an hour ago, you have a lot to process" I said.
"You're right. Nice meeting you Silver" Sonic waved before he and Amy left.
