Ch. 1: How it all began
In an area far out in the Pacific Ocean, there was a beautiful island known as South Island. Aside from the rare tourist, no one ever visited South Island. Very few knew about it at all or that it even had a name. It was constantly drifting across the ocean, which made it difficult to pinpoint. One day, that all changed. A mysterious man was surveying the island from a round hovercraft.
He was bald, but had a large brown-reddish mustache. Dark blue pince-nez glasses covered his eyes and goggles sat atop his bald head. He was a quite round, almost egg-shaped in fact, but his arms and legs were long and thin. He was 6ft. tall and wore a rather flamboyant outfit. His pants and boots were black, his coat was red trimmed with gold and white, and he wore a pair of white gloves. He was piloting his small, egg-shaped hovercraft around the entire island, appearing to be taking in the scenery. He remained quiet most of his trip, but at last he spoke aloud to himself.
"This island has beautiful scenery, exotic plant life, and diverse wildlife. It could almost be paradise…and once I'm done with it, it will be."
With that, he flew his hovercraft back to the shoreline. A group of humanoid egg-shaped robots were standing in formation, as if awaiting orders.
"I have found the perfect spot for my base and all the necessary equipment is here" the man said, "You have the coordinates now. So begin construction immediately!"
"Yes, sir," the robots replied in unison as they marched off carrying said equipment.
"And don't forget which piece of the base I said to set up first! This blasted island is in the middle of nowhere. I had to make who knows how many trips to acquire the parts I needed to begin preparations. No matter. My machines shall construct my base in no time, and until then…I'm going to test my new invention that should alleviate the problem of limited manpower."
The man had a quick look around. He spotted a small bluebird flying around. Suddenly out of his mobile, a huge metal claw shot out and grasped the bird.
"Come along with me."
He took off to his soon-to-be base. Once there, a large machine, almost like a small assembly line, had been completed rather quickly. The man threw the bird into one end.
"It won't hurt a bit…maybe."
He started pressing several dozen buttons, which caused the machine to power up. After a few minutes of noise, it shot out another robot. This one wasn't an egg-shaped humanoid one like the others.
It looked rather like a ladybug. It was round with a red body and a blue face. It moved using one large wheel and a motor on the back. Its sole means of attacking seemed to be two long, yellow pincers near its head.
"Oh, yes! It worked perfectly, as the things I build always do. This is just the first of many for my new army of machines. I have successfully taken an animal and turned it into a living battery. I shall dub this model Motobug. Troops, I want a small group to bring me every animal you can find! And don't forget why we came here in the first place. Keep a sharp optic out for them."
"Yes, sir."
The man had already grabbed another bluebird and thrown it into the machine. This time the robot that came out looked like a wasp. It was blue and black with both wings and engines. Its stinger was actually a blaster.
"I'll call this one Buzz Bomber. What's taking them so long?"
"We are still spanning the island, Doctor, but we have several animals already."
"Well, throw them in! What about your other mission?"
"Still no luck, Doctor."
Dozens of small animals were inserted into the machine. Bluebirds, rabbits, squirrels, seals, pigs, penguins, and chickens were all being used as living batteries for the doctor's machine army.
"I'll focus on this tropical area first. Then I'll move on to the other nearby areas of the island."
More and more robots came out of the machine. One looked like a large red crab. Another looked like a green chameleon. Still another looked like a large red piranha.
"Yes, yes, all these will patrol this beach area. I shall call this first one Crabmeat. The second shall be Newtron. The last will be Chopper. Go forth, my new creations, and make sure no one gets onto this island."
His ever increasing army set off on patrol.
"Of course, even if anyone did get onto this island, there would be nothing they could do to stop me. Oh ho ho ho ho ho!"
Meanwhile, far out at sea, a blue blur was racing towards the island. They were going so fast they raced across the surface of the ocean. Until finally they touched ground on the beach. It was a hedgehog.
A blue, anthropomorphic hedgehog no less. He was only about 3-4 ft. tall, and he only wore white gloves and red shoes with a white vertical stripe down the middle of each one.
"Hmm, where are all the animals?" the hedgehog said to himself.
Deeper into the island, the doctor was alerted to the hedgehog's presence.
"What do you mean someone's on the island? Have those blasted machines deal with them!"
Back on the beach, the hedgehog was confronted by a single Motobug.
"What's a robot like that doing here?"
The Motobug wheeled over and took a swipe at the hedgehog.
"OK, you wanna play rough?"
The hedgehog curled his body into a ball and began to spin. He then sped off towards the Motobug. At the last moment, he jumped up and, still spinning, smashed the robot. It fell into a broken heap.
"That'll teach you to mess with—what the…?"
Out of the robot's wreckage, a small rabbit leapt out completely unharmed.
"How did you get inside a robot?"
The rabbit ran off as a shadow hovered overhead. It was the doctor, who came to see for himself who the intruder was. He was less then pleased.
"You destroyed one of my robots, you horrid hedgehog! Just who do you think you are?"
Said hedgehog looked up to see the doctor in his hovercraft.
"Who am I? I'm Sonic the Hedgehog. Who are you?"
"Who am I?"
"That's what I said."
"I am Dr. Ivo Robotnik. The greatest scientific genius of all time!"
"You look like an egg to me."
"You little…is that any way to talk to the genius who shall take over this island?"
"Just you try and do that, Eggman. I'll stop you and free my friends from your badniks."
"Badniks? Eggman? If you think you can beat me, make your way through the island to my stronghold. If you even make it that far, I'll be waiting. Until then, have fun with my machines."
Robotnik took off as dozens of Buzz Bombers swarmed towards Sonic. Sonic didn't look worried. He stretched his legs as the robots flew ever closer.
Then he smirked and said, "Time to have some fun."
