Hello everybody! I'm RyuSpike! People keep telling me that I'm super creative and a great writer. Out of sheer bored combined with the annoyances of real life problems people won't shut up about whenever they talk to me, I have finally decided to join the ranks of FanFiction! So enough with my back story, lets get into why you are really here. You are looking for a Sonic FanFic that doesn't make you want to commit suicide! I thought up of this adventure for over a year now with a lot of influence from the most recent games that are coming out. So lets get this show on the road...

Sonic and others belong to Sega and Sonic Team

That wolf is mine though! =3

Sonic the Hedgehog: 3rd Gear

In Medias Res

The wind blew softly against the green valley of grass. The few trees that dwelt in this sloped area were stationed there as with waiting for orders from a higher command. Tall and firm they stood. Only the health green of their leafy hair rustling with the sky's breath. In the center of the dish were two creatures that stood as if they were human. One was a strange blue mammal with sharp quills going down his back side. His foot was tapping at a rapid pace which might iterate his red striped shoes because of the constant hitting they are receiving. It was strange to see a hedgehog standing on two legs, wearing gloves and shoes as if he was a person, and not to mention the already stated fact that he was blue. But this was no unknown species or mutant freak of nature. No. This was the one and only speeding blue blur of the seven continents! Hero of the never-ending winds! The spiked avenger of justice! This was Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Heh, so we finally meet face to face!" Sonic called out to his opponent, "I was personally getting sick of seeing your backside!"

"Heh, you like to talk! I like that a lot!" Sonic's wolfish foe exclaimed as he punched his clawed fist into his left palm, "I get to know more of you when you talk! Especially when we fight!"

"Still on that fighting thing, eh Wolf Boy?"

"You bet! Fighting makes you strong! Stronger opponents always make you stronger! You are the strongest I've met! I really want to fight you now! I hear a lot of good things from your friends! Good fighters, but they are not as strong as me!"

"That is another thing buddy. You have caused a lot of trouble for me and my friends! Here we are, trying to stop Eggman and you keep getting in our way wanting a fight! You even took our Emeralds! I have only one thing to ask now. Are you with Eggman or are you on your own?"

"Eggman is my friend! He is one of my pack! You never betray your pack members! Never betray the pack!"

"I see..." Sonic sighed and studied the wolf before him.

He was quite tall. Almost as tall as Omega even. And strong. He was definitely strong enough to beat Knuckles, Blaze, Silver, and even Shadow! It wasn't just pure strength that had beaten them. It was his unnatural speed and reaction time. All his friends told him that this wolf was able to somehow predict all of their movements before they were executed. Sonic stared at the thick arms he had. His fur was long and bushy so he couldn't see any of the muscles that were there. Sonic had a thought of what this guy would look like if he was shaved. From all the tales he heard about his power, probably extremely ripped. It was expected really, considering how this narrow snout wolf had those red weights on his wrists and ankles! He can only imagine them to be about fifty or some pounds. That already made up of two hundred extra pounds he's carrying! Anymore would be too much!

That reminded Sonic of something else. The clothes the fit wolf wore. He had on these thick pair of pants that were a deep blue that went down to just above his ankle weights. On each of his knees were these black diamonds that had even more padding to them then the pants themselves. Sonic guessed that the golden yellow rim that went around his waist was like a belt for those leggings or something that just went along with the outfit. There wasn't anything else the wolf was wearing. In fact, those pants were the only clothes that he wore. Bandages went around his hands and feet, but nothing else. He was an odd one, that was for sure.

"Sorry Wolfy, but I just can't bear to go a couple rounds with you." Sonic apologized to the wolf

"What?" The canine looked up at the hedgehog with a confused look on his face, "Why not? Are you scared?"

"Hardly. I just can't bear to fight someone that who is stealing my style."

"Your style?"

"Yeah! Aside from those big bangs of your's, your hair looks totally like my quills. And green eyes? What are ya? Some big fanboy who gets his kicks from dressing himself up to look like me? Laa~aame!"

"Ha! I see now! Those are fighting words you are using! Heh, that means you really want to fight as much as I do! Then we get to see whose the world's strongest!" The wolf lunged forward at the hedgehog in a dash.

"Jeez, you are a serious type. Well, it's safe to say that you are not an easily angered type of guy either. Maybe I'm going to have some trouble with you after all..."

Sonic showed off a smirk as he readied himself for the dodge. The wolf threw a punch, but the hedgehog only became a blue blur. Sonic slid to the side and tried to deliver a roundhouse kick, but to no success. The wolf had quickly countered with a kick of his own which knocked Sonic's kick away. That wasn't the end of it though. The wolf was in mid spin when he launched another kick with his once grounded foot into the hedgehog's stomach. Sonic was pushed away by the powerful kick and landed quite a distance. He coughed out a bit of saliva as he got off the ground on his hands and knees. He wiped his mouth clean and laughed. "That was a really good shot. You are as strong as what people have said about you."

"But..." Sonic spun into a Spin Dash and landed on his feet cleanly, "You are not as fast as me!" Sonic ran at high speed around the sides of the natural grass bowl. The wolf watched as Sonic spun around him. To face an opponent with such a speed was amazing. He quickly went into a defensive stance and waited for the hedgehog to come at him. With no need of any prompting, Sonic took this as the time to strike. Sonic shot out at the wolf like a bullet. Ready to bring about the starting punch.

"Hahahaha! This is truly amusing!" an egg-shaped man with a mustache laughed as he watched the fight below, "To think that foolish mutt is a match for that speedy hedgehog! And with all the emeralds he collected for me... The world will fear the name of Eggman!" The doctor's hovercraft flew away unnoticed as the two mighty fighters duked it out below.
