I always thought of what would happen if humankind didn't exist on Earth, what becomes of the animals. Would they evolve into anthropomorphic? So I thought of writing this story about how mobians were evolved from the beginning. I know some of you have read the old Sonic Archie comics that has clues about mobians and stuff. But I want to come up with my own.

30,000 years ago, humans have evolved into what they are today; living alongside Neanderthals, another type of human rivaling them. But there was at some time, a meteor that split into parts crashed across the world, far from humankind. Something that was still animal on appearance.
Somewhere in North America, some animals were approaching the meteorite, curious of what it was for something; one was a prehistoric hedgehog. It crawls up to the meteorite, sniffing it curiously. But the strange gas from the meteorite engulfed the hedgehog. His body began to change and grow larger; his eyes went bigger and appeared as if they were fused. The animals were also engulfed by the strange gas too. And they too became anthropomorphic just like the hedgehog did but in different shapes depending on species. The bats grew a pair of normal arms while their real arms remained as wings on the back; the insects also became humanoids by having only four limbs instead of six. The mutated animals also gained different colors.
As soon as the mutated animals were recovered, they went into hiding to start their own way of life by hiding caves, gorges, or even abandoned shelters from other animals. Some even took over abandoned huts made out of mammoth tusks and skin to start their own tribes, even making weapons like the humans did.
As centuries have passed, anthropomorphic creatures have evolved to modern animals. Some humans made friends with them while others thought that these anthros are a threat to all humankind.
Right now at a suburban area in some town, a blue hedgehog was walking down the street. He wore white gloves and red sneakers with gold buckles on the sides, "Yup, just another day at school finished" The male hedgehog said to himself. He tossed the coin to the hot dog cart to buy a chili dog, "Ah, hello chili dog" He took a bite of his favorite snack while heading home, "If a human is part primates, that means they're still part animal too. We mobians have evolved too but deep down we have our animal instincts" He said to himself again. Soon he notices a yellow fox coming his way, "Hi Tails" He waved.
"What's up, Sonic" Tails waved to the blue hedgehog whose name is Sonic.
"Nothing much. Happy to see my not-a-predator-fox best friend" Sonic teased his best pal.
"Raaawr…..I'm gonna get you!" He joked and pretends to be scary.
"Hehehe….come here you!" Sonic gave him a noogie.
"Hahahaha! Stop!" Tails laughed.
"Okay" Sonic lets go of him.
"Sorry Sonic, I gotta get back home" Tails said.
"Okay, see ya later" Sonic said and resumes his walk, "Man, tomorrow is my swimming class. Not my favorite day"
"Still suffering from aqua phobia?" A deep voice startled the blue hedgehog.
"Aaah! Stop that! How many times do I have to tell you that?! Why do you always do that?!" Sonic put his hand on his chest, panting really hard.
"Hehehe….Because I am Shadow the Hedgehog that hides in the shadows to scare his prey" The dark hedgehog chuckling as he walks into the light.
"Man, you really are a hunter" Sonic still panting a little.
"What I've seen is real hedgehogs on videos stay afloat on their backs, but we don't" Shadow said.
"Yes, I know hedgehogs can swim but I sink on the bottom like a rock. And I still can't swim" Sonic crossed his arms.
"Then be a hedgehog, not a cat" Shadow scoffed.
"Urrgh!" Sonic groans in annoyance.
"Since we've been having history of evolution, I can't believe many humans see us as a threat. It's like they still see us as animals" Shadow said.
"Doesn't mean they hate us, Shadow; they're just afraid of this new specie. There are some humans that are friends with mobiankind. Humans are also part animal too" Sonic explained to him.
"I know; apes. That's what Darwin discovered" Shadow said and Sonic gave a nod and crossed his arms, "Too bad many made fun of him" Shadow said.
"Someday everyone will realize that we mobians are like humans" Sonic said.
"Yup" Shadow said and leaves Sonic alone on the street.

At some house, a pink female hedgehog was petting her guinea pig in a cage, "Here you go my sweet rodent" She gave her pet a carrot. As the guinea pig ate it, the female hedgehog picked up a picture of her and Sonic, "Oh Sonic, I really wish you were my boyfriend. It's like we are the rose petals in the wind" She said and hugged the picture.
That's when she got a little startled when she saw a blue hedgehog standing near the open door of her balcony, "Ahh! Oh, it's you Sonic. Don't scare me like that from appearing out of nowhere. What are you doing here?"
"Eh, nothing much to do than being prepared for Saturday swimming class tomorrow" Sonic said, coming inside.
"I know you're scared of the water, Sonic. It's okay to be scared" The pink hedgehog said.
"I know that, Amy. But hydrophobia is hard to fight off" Sonic said.
"Yeah, but try to swim like a frog" Amy joked.
"Or like a shark. Like someone I know who is a shark at swimming class" Sonic muttered.
"Razor has legs you know. And don't say that it's impossible to fight your fear. Nothing is impossible, just challenging. And you are the fastest hedgehog alive. Maybe someday you'll be the fastest swimmer alive" Amy said, rubbing his tense shoulders.
"Maybe, though Razor has both lungs and gills. He can be underwater for unlimited time. But you are a true positive friend, Amy" Sonic said, feeling a little relaxed when his pink friend rubbed his tense shoulders. But soon Sonic noticed the picture of him and Amy, "I remember this picture. It's from when we first became friends" Sonic said.
"Oh! Yeah that one" Amy reacted slightly at it, "I think it was taken at the park"
"I don't mind. It's a great picture" Sonic said, groaning a little when Amy rubbed the spot where his shoulders are tensed up.
"Jeez, your shoulders are so tense. What have you been doing all day, Sonic?" Amy asked.
"Nothing, maybe I've been a little stressed" Sonic groaned.
"I guess all that running must have taken effect" Amy said.
"You know me, Amy. I'm like the wind and I love running fast like a cheetah" Sonic said.
"Yes you do. And Shadow is your rival in speed" Amy said.
"But he is as scary as a black panther" Sonic said.
"That's because he's a dark hedgehog that blends in the shadows. Like a nocturnal predator. You and him are like polar opposites" Amy said.
"Like I'm the cocky and funny one; he is the tough and grumpy one" Sonic said.
"Something like that. And no matter how many times you and him compete in a race, it's always a tie" Amy said.
"Yup" Sonic nods.
Amy finished massaging him, "I've never seen you so tense. Something is telling me that you're still thinking about humans again"
"Maybe. It's just I want humans to not be afraid of mobians for the rest of their life; I mean there are some humans that are friends with mobians but not the whole world is" Sonic sighs.
"I agree Sonic. I just want peace between humans and mobians on this planet. I can compare that to mutants in X-men are hated by many people" Amy said.
"Yes but we are not mutants, just evolved animals" Sonic said.
"Mmhm. But you're almost normal" Amy said.
"True" Sonic nodded and lies down on the bed, "Mind if I take a nap here?" He asked Amy.
"Be my guest" Amy said.
Sonic smiled and closed his eyes, while Amy laid down next to him, "You really are like the wind. The Blue Wind" Amy said.
"My top speed is mach 4 I think" Sonic said.
"Your top speed is a mystery" Amy said, closing her eyes.
"Yeah, but my friend Tails got flight by his twin tails" Sonic said before he and Amy resumes their nap.
