Prologue
The world seemed to hold its breath as the blue blur streaked across the land, his heartbeat echoing in the bright sun-filled sky. Almost there, the spiky hedgehog thought, securing his grip on a tightly wrapped bundle. He could see his friends on a beach, frantically waving their arms, screaming out his name. One of them, a yellow twin-tailed fox, gave a warning: 5 seconds.
5 seconds. His jade green eyes narrowed with determination. I gotta make it. He quickened his pace.
4 seconds. He jumped up, sailing clear over his friends' astonished faces.
3. Untying the bundle, the hedgehog grabbed a chilidog before tossing the others to the picnic table.
2. The food landed neatly in a pile just before the blue hedgehog did, his red sneakers gleaming softly in the sand.
1. Sonic bit into his chili dog and took a bow. "What? Didn't think I could do it?"
His friends exploded into cheers.
"That was amazing!" Squealed a pink hedgehog as she threw her arms around Sonic.
"Jeez, Amy. I only brought chili dogs faster than most people." Sonic retorted, trying to escape her death grip. "It's not like I, what? Saved the world like I do every other day."
"Nevertheless, you did break your last delivery record in half like you wanted to. Last time it was two minutes, now it's a minute" the yellow fox pointed out.
"You got me there Tails." Sonic chuckled as he finished the last of his dog. "Maybe next time I'll do it in 30 seconds, but only if Knuckles over there doesn't make a special order like he did this time. Do you know how long that took?" He scoffed at the red echidna. "You're such a picky eater."
"Who are you calling picky?" Knuckles yelled back. "I just don't like them putting a lot of chili on it, and it can only have diced onions, and the relish…"
Sonic rolled his eyes and continued conversing with Tails as the echidna babbled on. "So when's this solar eclipse thing gonna happen? It would be pretty uncool if we miss it and have to wait another decade."
"If my calculations are correct, it will happen in a few minutes. But we'll have time to spare."
"If you say so, lil' bro." he grinned. "Come on, let's eat. I bet we'll finish before knucklehead is with his list."
Somewhere deep inside the earth…..
"Is it time?" A voice barked out, making the two neon blue creatures it was addressing jump.
"Yess ssir." One of them replied, not daring to look up at the speaker. "In a matter of minutess darkness will cover the day, and our Masster will be able to begin to sstir."
"Good" the voice gruffed out, flashing a glint of light as a set of fangs smiled in the shadows. "Now all we have to do is keep the light covered until the awakening, and when awake, our Master will take over the world! Prepare the troops." The voice began to fade as footsteps clanked out of the room. "We will be leaving immediately. Victory will be ours!" the voice was gone.
"Oh yess, victory will be ourss." One of the creatures whispered. "But you and your 'Masster' won't be part of it."
The beasts snickered together and walked out.
