That Adventure In 06'
The Sonic Chronicles- Prologue
The Invasion Of Soleanna
It was in the year of late 2006, November 24th* to be exact. The noobs of yesterday had just starting to learn to play Call Of Duty, the sequel the Kingdom Hearts had come out, the Wii was a big hit with everyone playing Wii sports and every was waiting for the Olympics to come- You know the game without the legitimate athletes, but the game have instead have an Italian plumber and a blue Hedgehog with shoes.*
Nevertheless getting back to the story at hand, everything about the year 2006 was miraculous and mostly definitely revolutionary. However there was one adventure was forgotten by the world and was erased from history. Although millions of people were blessed(or not) to know all about this venture, they still wished for it to be over and done with in the mind for obvious reasons known like dust in the wind. The only people who knew were the people who lived beyond the dimension of the fourth wall.
An adventure that had been caused by an evil force that was powerful beyond defeat. This being not only having the power to go through time and manipulate it, but if had enough strength and join with great force of flames, would be able to burn the world as we know it into oblivion.
His perfect vision of our planet, the same. However engulfed in flames; all humans and animals alike. Gone.
And this goal accomplished with only the help a certain princess against her will, with a power that was sealed within her when she was young that could only be released by her royal tears.
He succeeds.
But there is always hope.
There was good that had come out of this sad misadventure. Heroes that represented the past, present and future from another universe would come together and stop this relentless force. Each different in personality and appearance, with different pasts and stories tell, but all have the same heart and soul that makes them worthy and binds them all together to save not only the world, but the sands of time itself.
Three certain sides of one story that introduced 'The Next Generation'.
So let's start with our first hero's story. He's a blue hedgehog who can run faster than the speed of sound and has a heart of gold.

"Nothing starts until you take action"
One night in a beautiful metropolis, surrounded by water, the hundreds of townspeople and even those from abroad were celebrating. Practically going all out with a parade of ferries, resembling so much as a strong fiery flotilla crafted in such a stunning view afloat on the sea of the city they loved and cherished so much, with wild entertainment of dancers performing of with such poise, elegance and grace.
But eyes weren't on the scenery for long as the main heroine and victim of this story revealed herself to everyone and you. She was wearing her specially formal white dress that went down just above her knees with red sparkles at the hem, small cuffs on her shoulders, silk gloves pure as white on her arms that went up past her elbows, small red heels and a diamond necklace surrounding her neck, fit for the occasion.
She looked absolutely amazing.
Not only did her outfit, but her face reflected that beauty with her clear blue eyes, great and fair light peach complexion, showing off her breathtaking smile that had definitely had matured ever since she was younger and her soft and short red hair, and on top, a crown made of light white feathers, bopping faintly up and down in the wind as she walked up the steps of the main vessel, taking a moment to stare in awe at the phoenix statue in front of her, that represented the spirit and life of city she ruled over. And as it was her duty, it was her turn once again, to light the flames of the statue.
Her duty as the Princess Of Soleanna.
Behind her, one of two her loyal servants, both wearing traditional yellow gowns of Soleanna, passed her a torch. Lilt with its holy flame.
Elise took a moment to stare at the bright yellow flame, small thing it was, as though it was a new-born child, but immediately felt something was wrong with it. Something, strange, peculiar, abnormal about it. She couldn't explain it. But her curiosity wandered and looked closer at the burning flame, a light yellow colour reflecting in her eyes. She blinked twice before her pupils widened in wonder, but mostly in pure shock.
She began to envision the city, for the time span of not even a second, being overcome by flames. The sea of blue water, enlighten by the moonlight, now a lake of furious fire. Now her, floating and observing the apocalyptic madness below her above the city in a strong pout, standing her ground to avoid expressing the anger and sadness she was feeling, stopping herself from releasing a tear. Looking straight ahead, in the mere capital of the town, in the distance was a cyclone of flames that within it, the monster. The cause of destruction of now and in the future in this story gave a loud RAWR!
Was she in the future? How this monster come about? And how come she remembers this somehow?
She couldn't explain this either, it had felt so real... Had it'd been real?
Is it going to be real?...
"Miss Elise."
She had no time to answer that question to herself as one her servants lightly patted her way back into reality, having a worried look on her face. She composed herself blinked a couple of times more, just to make sure she wasn't daydreaming.
"It... It's alright," She answered with a small smile.
Tying to ignore her vision, she went on with the scared ceremony by then bowing down slightly in respect to the elderly bishop in front of her and then turned back to the sculpted phoenix statue which now somehow made her more worried, but still continued on with her speech at hand, closed her eyes in prayer.
"We give thanks for the blessed flames. May we always continue to have peace. Sun of Soleanna, guide and watch over us with your eternal light..." She finished her speech with a deep breath and walked over and swayed the torch on the pedestal, which was sent around in individual paths to light the main ferry and the goblet of fire above it. And at that moment the townspeople and tourists cheered happily in another year of their town's safety.
Elise gladly waved back to them, her hand swaying formally in the air, returning their praise, just happy to see everyone else happy. A smile on everyone's face.
Till an explosion hit.
"AHH!"
The atmosphere on the dime changed as missiles and bombs were dropping down on the city of water and screams of cheers turned into screams of terror from the mouths of the adults, children and their princess. All the townspeople tried to escape from this catastrophe, their princess, practically forced to stand to stand her ground (being on the boat and all) and stood where she stands as an army of black and white mechs were deployed and began to invade on to the ship, pointing their robotic guns of arms at the princess and her servants. She shrank down slightly in fear as she looked at her surroundings, thinking about how all of this could have happened or why. Especially on such an special occasion like this. But then again, it for an evil villain it made victory a million times more sweeter.
Soon enough a large battleship was in full view above her head and gave it her full sight and attention with the servants protecting her on each side.
Coming out of the large battleship, was a mini cockpit that standing inside, showed the image of the person behind this heinous operation, bowing graciously towards the princess.
"A pleasure to meet you at last, Princess of Soleanna." The man said in polite tone, despite his unwelcoming entrance. He was a bald man with quite larger than normal mustache, wearing a solider like uniform, a bright red jacket with white stripes and bulky, golden buttons and black skinny trousers that matched up perfectly with his boots. Though, the thing that stuck out the most was his egg-shaped physic. Other than that he had the whole mad scientist look down.
"I am Dr Eggman," He introduced himself. "I've come here to obtain the secrets of the Flames of Disaster from you," He pointed to Elise once again.
"And to take the miracle gems that are the key to its secret... The Chaos Emerald!"
She grasped her light blue gem tight in her hand, keeping it from the mad man's clutches. This gem to her was always special; she had it ever since she was a little girl of eight. She had remembered waking up in Kingdom Valley with the emerald in her hand when she woke. Given, like the Emerald by a very special person, who disappeared in time without a trace. Although, it was a reminder of all that was left after the disaster and loss that had taken place that same day.
"Now princess, this way please," He motioned to the cockpit, gesturing her to surrender and come with him. Though now, truly scared started to slowly back away and shake her head in panic.
She stood still, till the wind dangerously, blew.
A blue cyclone surrounded the round square they were standing on, Elise looked around and soon saw the cause of commotion.
"My... that's a pretty snazzy performance there," A cocky sounding voice plainly said.
The princess turned around to see some type of anthropomorphic animal playfully looking at Eggman as if he knew him for a long time. Elise took a closer look to analyse the creature's being.
She gasped. Elise pictured a white hedgehog that somehow felt so familiar to this blue one, her eyes widened. "You... It can't be," She whispered oh so softly.
The blue hedgehog smirked. At the sound of one bullet, he sprung in to action. Dodging all the enemies' fire and knocking them out with only a swift move, leaving trails of blue wind speeds, to the princess in her eyes almost as fast as the speed of sound. It was all going so fast; she couldn't keep up with the blue blur.
With a TING sound all the robots on the ground were defeated. And soon enough the hedgehog stopped right in front of her and introduced him briefly.
"I'm Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog," He explained in a split second, before scooping her up bridal style and speeding off to a safer destination.
"Not that irritating hedgehog again!" Eggman whined in disgust, but straight away had a backup plan for this situation.
"ATTACK!" He yelled, his machines responding by shooting missiles at the teenagers as they ran across the streets of Soleanna, Sonic just running straight ahead, easily dodging everything that was shoot at the two, though meanwhile Elise was screaming her head off, trying to get her head scrambled back together. From starting today as a day of celebration would then turn into a day of chaos and almost destruction of her people, and then to top it all off, be saved by a complete stranger, an anthropomorphic one at that, but he still saved her possible torture and somehow seems similar.
She had no choice, but to simply trust him.
They soon enough found themselves in the quiet and deserted streets of Soleanna. A question was on Elise's mind.
"Umm...why are you helping me," She asked shyly and looked at him for the second time since they met, the silence was killing her.
"No special reason," He said nonchalantly and made a large leap across a bridge.
"Sonic" She shouted as she saw more of Eggman's robots blocking they're way to freedom. Sonic safely dropped her onto her feet and jumped to kick one of the machines in to scrap metal and flipped back into position, one the robots taking this one second moment fired away, aiming at him, but with his almost lightning reflexes, leaped out of the way just in time, and the robot shooting, accidentally fired at his brethren standing across him, then the hedgehog landed back down and finished the rest off with a homing attack.
"AHH AHH!" Sonic turned around from finishing his fight and saw Elise in the hands of a mechanical claw being controlled by the Doctor himself.
"I'm afraid our little game ends here," The Doctor informed, his cockpit moving slowly towards a hatch his battleship.
Elise trying to squirm out, realised there was no escape, but still time to stall.
"Sonic, take this" And with a positive thought threw the cyan Chaos Emerald to the hedgehog, who indeed with ease.
"I've got it, and don't worry, I'll save you!" He promised.
She nodded as she was carried off into Eggman's ship, leaving Sonic all alone in the nighttime to plan his next move, him just simply standing there as the battleship flew off into the distance.
While at the same time, another was on the rooftop watching this all take place.
"I finally found him... the Iblis Trigger..."
OMG I must really love you guys if I'm writing about about this cluster of a game. It's going to over 30 Chapters long for tuned for the ride!
If you think I'm one of people who say 'Sonic 06 is the best game ever!' You are 100% wrong- I think it had potential and believe it or not an original story(I mean- have you played a game where a girl is not allowed to cry for over 10 years, because I sure haven't), but other that yeah- I know it's a bad game. But I hope to make it better for everyone^^ considering that there is not that many adaptations- That don't make fun of this game of course.
*The first paragraph was just a joke and a lame attempt at humor- Though I won't lie I was obsessed with Wii Sports- The only game I had till the Olympics
Please Read & Review- As next time we go back to the future with a new character approaching (My Fav!)
I don't own Sonic series
