What Happens When a Hero Breaks His Leg

Episode One: OW!

Sonic sped through City Escape as usual. He bounced to get to higher ledges in the odd, odd level. He somersaulted to destroy wooden containers that blocked his way. He grinded down some rails as to improve his time. He jumped over bottomless pits. He homing-attacked various robots that shot lasers at him (and others that didn't). He used his famous Sonic Spin to navigate quicker. He ran on walls, both vertically and horizontally.

Just as he was flipping under a pole to get to another part of the level, Eggman dropped onto the poor, unsuspecting hedgehog. There was a loud crack and an even louder strident scream.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Sonic screamed, trying to get out from under the huge robot walker. He squirmed, wiggled, and tried pushing himself from beneath the metal monster, but to no avail. Eggman finally realized what happened and got off of Sonic.

The whole of Sonic's right leg was covered in blood. Eggman winced at the sight. Shadow, Tails, Rouge, Amy and Knuckles came up to the scene. They all gasped. Sonic began holding his right leg and writhing in pain. Shadow rushed to Sonic's side because, even though they were rivals, their rivalry was friendly. Sonic admired Shadow's skills and Shadow admired Sonic's. (For all you icky yaoi fans, look elsewhere. This is NOT Yaoi. Notice how all the yaoi fans leave…) Amy glared at Eggman, saying in a silent language, 'You're gonna pay for this, Eggman.'

"Sonic, are you okay?" Shadow asked. Sonic looked at Shadow as if to say, 'What do you think, you idiot?' Amy grabbed her giant hammer and started hitting Eggman on the head with it. It made a squeaky sound. Shadow looked at the group. "Tails, call 911. Knuckles, build a makeshift brace for Sonic's leg. Rouge, help him. No flirting." Rouge grinned. "Amy, keep hitting Eggman on the head. You're… oh, how do I say it? … You're useless." Amy nodded her head in agreement. "I'll be here to comfort Sonic until the ambulance comes."

About fifteen minutes later, Sonic, in his makeshift brace, was assisted into an ambulance. Tails and Shadow, his bestest friends, came with him. Eggman was being charged for animal abuse. He had to appear in court or the court people would hunt him down and kill him.

At the hospital, Sonic was having X-rays done. Poor him… Anyway, the doctor was looking over the X-ray results over some tea. Yay, tea! After that, the doctor came into the room Sonic was waiting in, not too patiently, either.

"Well… Mr. Hedgehog-"

"It's Sonic."

The doctor stood uncomfortably. She was a short little fox with… sky blue fur? It can't be any crazier than me having blue fur, Sonic thought. Her name tag read Dr. T. Vulpes. "Right, right, Sonic. Well, Sonic, you certainly did quite a lot of damage to that leg of yours."

Sonic started twiddling his thumbs. "It's not my fault. A robot crushed my leg."

"Well, you're lucky your leg didn't shatter into a million pieces!" At this, Sonic gulped. "Anyway, you shattered your tibula and your leg is going to be in a cast for 6 weeks-"

"SIX WEEKS!" Sonic nearly screamed. How could he run with a broken tib… tib… thing! "How the heck am I gonna get around!"

"Well, that's the fun part. You're going to be in a wheelchair for two weeks and then from there you're going to be on crutches. We need to slow you down, Sonic." She set down some files and looked at the brace that held Sonic's shin together. It actually was made with great craftsmanship. "Who made this brace for you, Sonic?" But, Sonic had already passed out.
