We meet our favorite sixteen year old blue hedgehog again, today he's checking his mail as he usually does at this time of the day, especially since he order something special on Amazon. "Hopefully the thing I order from Amazon comes today, its been a week! I better not get any junk mail from the President again." Sonic said grumpily looking at his mail remember all the invitations from the President to his party. One letter in particular looked different from the others as the color of the letter was red. Sonic quickly open the letter to read it. "I won?!" Sonic said as he twitch his head in confusion after finishing the letter.
Moments later
"So you just won a contest without any knowledge of being in it?" Tails said walking back and forth in front of Sonic, who was sitting on his sofa. "Yeah, well the letter said I won a cruise ship to a tropical island with all expenses paid for two weeks." Sonic cheerfully said, watching Tails walking back and forward.
"I don't know Sonic, something about this seems to be oddly suspicious." Tails looking at the letter. "But it did does look legit though." Tails looking at the letter very carefully. "I need a vacation anyways." Sonic getting up from his sofa.
"I been fighting Eggman non-stop for the last four weeks" Sonic said stretching his arms and legs. "So a vacation sounds fine to me right now." Sonic putting his elbow on Tails' right shoulder.
"I better pack up, the letter says that the trip starts tomorrow. Do you think you and Knuckles can handle Egghead, while I'm gone?" Sonic asking Tails. "Sure thing Sonic, still I'm getting a wrong vibe about all this." Tails remarked. "Oh come on, what's the worst that can happen?" Sonic said, not worried at all as he headed to his room to pack up for tomorrow.
Meanwhile at Eggman's base
"YES! Everything is going according to plan." said an egg shaped man, watching the monitor showing Sonic receiving the letter in his mail. "Soon Sonic you'll be nothing, but an old folk tale when this master plan works." Eggman said walking away from the monitor. "Once your done with, I'll be able get the Chaos Emerald and take my rightful place as the ruler of earth." Eggman standing tall on a chair as if he already won.
"And how are you going to do that?" said a voice behind Eggman, which scared him, causing him to fall out the chair. "Don't ever do that again Orbot!" Eggman shouted at Orbot as he was getting up from the floor. Orbot trying to hold his laughter as he continued to talk.
"Sorry, but what is this master plan that you have now." Orbot said who stopped giggling on Eggman's fall. "I manage to find a deserted island in the middle of the pacific ocean and disguised as a vacation getaway a few months ago." Eggman said.
"I called the island: Muna island. I tricked Sonic into going thinking he won a contest, but what he doesn't know is that I put a bounty on him for who can ever get rid of him and I made a reactor on Muna Island to make the volcano erupt to cover the whole island with lava to get rid of Sonic if the plan fails." Eggman finished talking as Cubot came in. "Sir! Sir! You have some visitors for you!" Cubot said, jumping in. "Ahh that must be them, let them in." Eggman said excited to see who it was to help succeed his plans.
The security door, where it once used to be the front door to the base, but got change as some random pizza guy manage to open it the last time. The security door open to reveal three shadowy figures being hid behind some dark shadow over them.
The figure in the middle was the first one to step out of the shadow revealing to be a purple and white weasel, who was wearing a big brown stetson hat, brown boots with white gaiters, and brown gloves with metal plates on them, shocking Eggman at the sight of him. "Hey Eggman, long time no see." reply the weasel.
"Nack, its has been a long time." Eggman said walking up to Nack. "I like to be called by my other name: Fang the Sniper." Fang said coldly as he pulled out his popgun as Eggman laughed at the popgun when he saw it.
"Looks can be deceiving Eggman as this popgun is stronger than it looks. I never miss a target." Fang said aiming and shot a fly on the wall, making a huge hole, shocking Eggman by its power.
"I see, who are those guys behind you?" Eggman asked looking behind Fang. "Allow me to introduce to you my crew that will get rid of Sonic. Come out you guys." Fang said behind him.
The figure on the left side of the doorway step out of the shadow to reveal a green duck with a red neckerchief and some identical shoes that look like Sonic's. "They call me, Bean the Dynamite." said Bean jumping up and down in excitement. "Why do they call you that?" Eggman asked.
"This is why." Bean answered as he quickly got a bomb from Hammer space almost hitting Eggman, but hit Cubot instead. "I'm a bomb expert, the very best if I do say so myself, as I can make deadly bombs in a few seconds. I like Bombs!" Bean smirking at his statement. "Also sorry about that little yellow robot." Bean said to a black dust cover Cubot. "None taken." Cubot said accepting his apology.
"Impressive." Eggman said rubbing his chin. Finally the third figure step out the shadow revealing to be a reddish-tan Polar bear with brown and orange shoes, a red toque, brown and yellow gloves, and a green scarf on around his neck. "Bark the Polarbear is the name and great strength is my game." Bark said slamming his fist together. "Oh really, I don't believe you." Eggman said crossing his arms.
"You got a jar of pickles?" Bark asked the mad doctor. "Yeah." as Eggman pull out a jar of pickles out of nowhere and gave it to Bark. Bark open the jar of pickles with breeze, which really impress the mad scientist. "Ooooo…that is great strength, I been trying to get these opened all week." Eggman said as he got the jar of pickles from Bark.
"So now that the introduction is over let's start to go over the plan to get rid of this annoying hedgehog." Eggman said, leading the three to discuss the plans. Before they can move, they were all stopped as they a heard a female voice behind them.
"Hold it right there!" shouted the feminine voice. They stopped to see a female cat with yellow fur, black hair, red dress with red high heels with white laces and wings behind her red dress as well as red and black gloves and a red headband to top it all off. "My name is Honey, Honey the Cat." Honey stated.
"I'm here for the bounty of the hedgehog." Honey said as she pulled out a bounty poster of Sonic on it. "Excellent, the more the merrier to get rid of that hedgehog. What can you do by the way?" Eggman asked. "I'm the best at martial art from where I can from. I can take down anyone that I see, no matter how big or small." Honey said closing her eyes as she put her hands on her hips.
"Oh yeah, prove it Arrggg!" Bark shouted as he charged at Honey. Without looking, Honey countered Bark's attack by flipping him over on the floor without trying. "Is that enough proof snow boy." Honey teased looking at down at Bark.
"Yeah...that would prove it." Bark said as he saw flickies flying around his head. "Before we start the hunt, I want to see the reward as you promised in the poster." Honey stated as Fang and Bean nodded in agreement with her.
"Very well then." Eggman said as he push a button revealing door that had a room filled with money and jewelry. Everyone gazed as they were amazed at the amount of money and jewelry Eggman had.
"Like I said, whoever can get rid of Sonic, gets the reward." Eggman stated as he locked the room full money and jewelry. "Now that I got you all more motivated. Shall we discuss the plans for tomorrow?" Eggman said to all three of them. Everyone nodded in agreement as they began to walk away. "Hey wait!" Bark said getting up from the floor. "Wait for me!" Bark started running to catch up to them
The Next day
We see Sonic and Tails, at the piers near Emerald Coast as Sonic was getting ready for his trip today. "You sure you don't want come along with Tails?" Sonic asking Tails. "Thanks Sonic, but I'm busy working on a secret project right now and I think I'm having a breakthrough with it." Tails stated. "And what might this secret project be?" Sonic teasing Tails. "Haha If tell ya, then it wouldn't be secret now will it." Tails answering back.
"Ah well it was worth the try." Sonic said not caring at the moment about the project. The Captain of the cruise ship who was a silver bearded man blew his whistle and began to shout as Sonic and Tails were right beside the cruise ship.
"One minute left before we head to Muna Island. All aboard!" the Captain shouted. "Well Tails I better get on the ship, remember to take care my house okay." Sonic said as he picked up his luggage. "No problem Sonic, just leave everything to me." Tails said giving Sonic a thumbs up.
"Alright Tails, now remember to…." Sonic was cut off as he heard a female voice coming from the far distance. "Sonic, hold just a minute I'm coming with you on the cruise ship!" shouted the the female voice which filled Sonic's eyes with dread.
"We can have a romantic Titanic moment like Jack and Rose on the ship!" Amy shouted running in the far distance carry two large luggages with her. "Ah crud, its Amy." Sonic said as he face palm. "Now I really need to get a move on." Sonic quickly said to Tails as he began to run up the stairs to the boat.
As he got up the boat, Sonic quickly ran with great speed to the Captain, grabbing him by the collar. "GO now man, start the ship quick before its too late!" Sonic said with scared face of a thought of him being force by Amy doing anything romantic the ship alone. "Okay then, but next time say please. Jeez, kids these day I'd say." the Captain said as he made the ship start sailing.
As the ship was sailing away into the ocean, Sonic went to the side of the cruise boat to wave goodbye to Tails, who was at the edge of the pier. "See ya Tails, I'll see you in two weeks from now." Sonic shouted as he continued to wave goodbye to Tails. "Have fun Sonic and be careful!" Tails waving goodbye. Amy then approaches next to Tails on as she had an angry expression.
"Sonic, you know its has been one of my dreams to go a cruise ship with you!" Amy shouted angrily at Sonic. "I never even knew it to begin with and you can dream about other things that don't involve me!" Sonic shouted with his trademark grin.
Hearing this caused Amy to march back home in anger, while Tails put his hand on his mouth holding his laughter, seeing his hedgehog friend sailing off to the sea.
On the boat
As Sonic looked around the cruise ship, he notice that he was the only one on the ship, which questioned him. Sonic then went to find the Captain of the ship to ask him a few questions. Sonic found the Captain, who was steering the ship.
"Excuse me umm…" Sonic said as he was trying to find out the Captain's name. "Crunch, Crunch is the name." The Captain answered Sonic. Sonic baffled by the response, trying hard to hold his laughter. "So you're a captain and your name is Crunch sooo…" Sonic's face turn red as he tried hold his laughter harder.
"Yes, I know I get that response from everyone, just let it out already." Crunch said, looking forward on the sea as he was steering the ship. Sonic then burst out laughing for about a good five minutes, while Crunch kept a straight face through out all of it.
"Sorry about that, its just that I never met a real captain with a name like that." Sonic said wiping a tear off his eye from his laughter. "I'm here to ask you, why I'm the only person here on the boat?" Sonic said in his normal tone.
"It's because the trip isn't very long, from what I heard is that it takes only a few hours to get to Muna island. Also I was told to pick up a blue hedgehog named Sonic only, which I guess is you." Crunch answered still steering the boat.
"Oh okay, I see." Sonic in relief. "Just sit back and relax, we'll reach our destination in a couple hours." Crunch said looking at Sonic with his straight face. "Thanks, I'll will." Sonic said cheerfully as he walked away.
Sonic then found a room to put his luggage in and afterward Sonic went to the front of the ship to see the open wide ocean in front of him with the wind blowing on his face smoothly and some seagulls flying above him in the clear blue sky.
Normally Sonic hates being on boats or anything that involve deep water, but ever since the adventure with him and Tails going to Blaze's dimension, which involved him riding multiple water vehicles and fighting off pirates, made him more comfortable being in the sea. Sonic still can't swim, but its a step up from before.
"Man, that was an awesome adventure." Sonic said looking up to the blue sky smiling, remember his adventure at Blaze's dimension. Sonic then walked off as he found a beach chair with an umbrella blocking the sun's light. "I might as well take a nap for the trip, it won't take long anyway." Sonic said getting out some shades and putting them on before sleeping.
Few hours later
Sonic, quickly woke up as Crunch rang the bell out loud causing Sonic to fall from the beach chair and his shades to fall off. "Why did you do that for?" Sonic said rubbing his left eye and rubbing his head with his other hand from the pain. "We're here Sonic, take a look for yourself." Crunch said pointing forward in front of Sonic. Sonic turn his head as he saw Muna Island coming close in front of him.
"Alright! I'm here." Sonic throwing his fist in the air in celebration. As the boat reached the docks and lowered the anchor, Sonic quickly went to his room to get his luggage and headed to the stairs to exit the boat. As he laid foot on the dock, Sonic then shouted at Crunch, who was still on the boat.
"It was nice meeting you Crunch or should I say Captain Cru…" Sonic was cut off as Crunch blew on his whistle and took off into the sea quickly, leaving Sonic on the island. "Jeez, old people these days. They can't take a joke." Sonic picking up his luggage and began walking.
"Now, which way is it to the resort?" Sonic questioned as he saw something on other side of the dock. What Sonic saw was a sign pointing the direction of where the resort is. "Huh, how convenient." Sonic said, looking at sign. "Looks like I'll be heading that way." Sonic smiling, pointing at the direction as he began to make his way.
Back at Eggman's base
"Sir, Sonic has finally arrived on the island." said Orbot who was next to Eggman watching the monitor. Hearing this put an evil smirk on Eggman's face. "Yes, I can see that Orbot." Eggman said getting from up his chair. "Now then,..." Eggman said pushing a big red button. "Let the hunt…. BEGIN!" Eggman shouted as he began to laugh menacingly
