All hail Sega, they own Sonic and the majority of his buddies. This weak author will attempt to entertain you with a records of Sonic's adventures, and his friends of course. From the very beginning. Please enjoy.
It was a pair of red shoes, each with a single white stripe and a golden buckle, that touched onto the grass of South Island. Those shoes belonged to Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog. A known hero even at the young age of ten, he had followed rumors that his nemesis Dr. Eggman had been seen on South Island. Breathing in that fresh natural air, Sonic was able to catch the faint whiff of industrial soot and spilled oil. Tapping the tip of his shoe into the dirt several times, the blue hedgehog headed towards the sure signs of the doctor's presence. The mysterious South Island was a natural treasure trove of ancient ruins and gems. There shouldn't have been any signs of modern machines or factories on the island. There had to be a reason and that reason was sure to be big, fat and in possession of a large mustache.
Sonic could give a guess as to why Eggman would come here to spoil the island's pristine environment with the existence of choking smoke and toxic waste besides the doctor's general apathy towards nature. For rumored to be part of South Island's treasure trove were the mystical Chaos Emeralds.
These Chaos Emeralds were a set of mysterious super-materials that had limitless energy and could supply infinite power to any living being. Though they also had another property that would have drawn the attention of a mad scientist like Eggman. When applied to scientific purposes, the emeralds could be used as an infinite power source for nuclear and laser based weaponry or any type of machinery. Thankfully for the world however, nobody knew exactly how to get a hold of these emeralds.
Yet Sonic recalled as he ran forward that South Island's peculiar trait of constant motion throughout the sea was because of the emeralds' power. The wind as always rushed through the blue hedgehog's quills until he jumped to grind the side of his shoes into the dust. Above the hedgehog, gloating in his Egg mobile, was the infamous Dr. Eggman. Stroking his long brown mustache he pointed to the blue blur below him. "Sonic…you annoying, impertinent hedgehog. Thanks to you, my great plans are always laid to waste!" Wringing his hands, the doctor grew a sinister smile. "Oh, but this time, I'm going to rub you out with the power of science! Ha ha ha ha ha!"
Sonic only raised an eyebrow at Eggman's posturing. With his head shaking and eyes closed in exasperation Sonic said. "Eggman, you still haven't had enough?" He shifted his weight allowing him to rest his right hand on his hip and tap the tip of his foot into the grass. "It's always the same, you come with big plans and then I blow them wide open." The hedgehog waved his other hand in an arc. Really Dr. Eggman never seemed to leave him alone, even though Sonic had beaten him every time so far. The doctor always returned, rotten to the core and with a new evil scheme to carry out.
Anyway it looked like Eggman's next defeat would be a cinch. Yet Eggman's smile never left his face, even as Sonic told the doctor how easy victory would be. This time something was amiss and then the Doctor said. "Have you seen it, Sonic? This time is going to be different!"
Eggman put his finger down towards the ground and to Sonic's ears came the sound of mechanical joints clacking and grinding, "Because this time, I've turned all the animals on the island into robots!" Doctor Eggman said but there was nothing to be seen at first. Yet they slowly rose. Onto the cliffs and emerged from the depths of the island's waters. Their metal bodies gleaming under the bright noon day sun. There were all sorts of new robot minions of different shapes and sizes under the control of Dr. Eggman.
Sonic stumbled back, his eyes wide at what the doctor was implying with his latest scheme.. "E...Everybody!?" The hedgehog had rushed through the island and noticed there was a lack of animals. However he was under the impression that they were all startled by his great speed and hid themselves. But he could have never imagined that they were all enslaved by Eggman.
The Doctor savored the shock on the hedgehog's face. "All of these new badniks go about in accordance to my orders. In other words, Sonic, everyone on the island is your enemy! Gya— Ha ha ha ha ha ha!" The doctor began to hack and cough, he really wasn't in the best of shape but he managed to slam his hand on the controls again. "Once I have those Chaos Emeralds, the world really will be mine!" "You can't stop me from claiming them hedgehog. Even if I have to dig up the entire island to find them!" His gloating complete, the doctor turned his Eggmobile around."Well I'll leave you all to get acquainted. Farewell hedgehog" And Eggman flew off with a dramatic swoop and Sonic with a sinking feeling in his stomach..
Still the hedgehog wasn't one to stick around moping even at this turn of events. He jumped up to chase after the doctor, spin jumping into several of those robot minions, badniks. The impact of his quills and kinetic energy ripped those metallic bodies apart into scrap. Turning back, his black eyes that glinted harshly in the sunlight softened at the sight of his animal friends freed from their metallic prison. Eggman really wasn't lying, the doctor had locked up several of his animal friends such as small Flicky bluebirds and the Pocky rabbits into those metallic shells. It was likely for the sake of providing a power source for the badniks. Sonic just pulled further on his gloves and clenched his hand into a fist. He had more at stake than just stopping the doctor now, the freedom of his animal friends was on the line. But at least there was something he could do about the fact his animal friends were imprisoned and that meant destroying every Badnik he could see. With that worry off his mind, Sonic focused back on the trail of the doctor and entered the Green Hill zone. His trusty speed carried him forward past the tall palms and the bright sunflowers. A parade of ladybug patterned Moto-bugs and wasp shaped Buzz Bombers swooped and revved towards the hedgehog, intent on taking out this obstacle in the Doctor's way. Those robots were destroyed with his spin jump move in a flash leaving nothing behind but grateful animals and the smell of burnt rubber and seared steel.
The blue blur continued to race forward, scattered rings around the route just being gathered up like nothing. After all, when Sonic beat Dr. Eggman again, he'll want to splurge on some Chili-dogs. Anyway Sonic in his mad dash encountered the signs of Eggman's presence on the island. From the ever present badniks to the large number of metal spikes placed everywhere, Sonic thought the doctor had too much time on his hands. As he approached a sign post claiming the area for Doctor Eggman, he gave it a smack. Spinning wildly, it eventually stopped with a picture of Sonic instead, much better for the environment in the hedgehog's opinion. "Heh, if this is the best Eggman can come up with, this'll be a breeze" Sonic said looking back at the distance he had covered.
It was then that he spotted a huge ring, and seeing that it was no different from other rings except for the size he leapt towards it. And then Sonic entered a whole new world completely different from the green grass, crystal blue bay and checkerboard hills. There was no floor, in truth no solid axis as the world. Sonic was stuck rolled into a ball for there was no solid base for him to stand and get his bearings. The hedgehog's blue head was spinning and his sinuses felt full. Fishes shifted to birds, then to clouds and back again with no sense of distance between the walls and bumpers Sonic was bouncing off of. Eventually he went crashing into a wall of crystals, slowly grinding them out of existence. When they finally gave way Sonic found himself grabbing on to something and regretted it as world span even faster, this time centered on him. There was a sudden flash of light that nearly blinded the hedgehog through his closed eyes.
He toppled onto the green, green grass of Green Hill Zone, the gentle stalks rustling against his knees. Leaning against a lamppost that suddenly lit itself blue at his touch, Sonic's stomach heaved as he recalled just had happened to him. The disorienting, nauseating skewed zone that he found himself in with no sense of what was up, down or any sort of direction at all. The sour smelling remains of chili-dogs lay in a puddle against the lamppost while the hedgehog continued to cough roughly. Sure Sonic could handle curling into a ball and hurling himself towards an enemy, spinning all the while. But that place was something else, it didn't help that at the speeds Sonic ran had harsh winds that were murder on his throat. Sonic took his hand to his spinning and unsteady head and felt something hard inside of it. The hedgehog opened his hand and inside was a Chaos Emerald, green in color and catching the light with its brilliantly cut facets. "No way." Sonic said hacking once more, Doctor Eggman was ripping up the island and enslaving his animal friends for these emeralds. And it turns out he actually has one in his hand right now, which was really wack.
Sonic put it away somewhere safe, he needed to keep these things out of Eggman's hands. Though his stomach turned queasy at the realization that to get those emeralds, he'll have to go back to that weird zone again. But he was resolute turning his gaze towards the horizon. He headed off to the next Zone, arms outstretched behind him. Ahead, bridges saved Sonic from his other nemesis, water. Though he was still hardly safe what with fish-like Choppers jumping up to take a bite out of him. Thankfully a series of spin jumps took them out quickly. He found that there was something off about a group of sunflowers and took a leap of faith over the spikes behind them. It was a stroke of luck as he crashed into another container. Everything seemed to take on a strange blue tint this time. All around him, Sonic could see that he was now in some sort of transparent blue sphere. He shrugged and continued forward, spinning through an obviously fake wall and into another container. The hedgehog felt his body was further energized and the blue blur became even harder to see as his speed increased further.
Dodging an entire floor of gleaming sharp spikes, Sonic continued forward smashing some more badniks, gaining height and freedom for more of his animal friends. He got quite the view of the bay and its fresh water scent from atop of a loop de loop. He did have to give pause when he encountered the strange sight of moving cliffs, though the sharp points of spikes between these heights showed exactly who was responsible for this maniac geography. "Oh Eggman. You've got too much time on your hands." Sonic jumped onto the next cliff when it moved to a reachable height. Some Buzz Bombers tried to take advantage of Sonic's lack of mobility. A face full of quills soon put a stop to that, from there it was just a leisurely run and roll through a tunnel towards reclaiming the area from Eggman. Then the hedgehog spotted yet another large gold ring, rotating in mid-air. Sighing, he dived back into that bizarre area, the Special Zone. The surroundings were yet again filled with birds, green of feather and fish that were blue in scale. There was no sense of distance and Sonic's belly ached again from the spinning and the sights around him. Bubbles and clouds floated, moving regardless of the stillness of the world. Except for the rotating walls of this weird maze Sonic found himself in again. Throwing himself against the shattering crystals as they changed color from the impacts, Sonic was treated to another blinding flash of white and the sensation of the world revolving around him.
When he opened his eyes to the noon day sun, the fresh scent of flowers and the gentle roar of the waves in the bay, the world was still spinning. "Okay I'm just going to stop for a sec. " He brought up his wrist to his mouth and spotted yet another emerald in his hand, silver this time. "Two down... more to go." Sonic said swaying side to side for a few seconds. With another deep breath he straightened up and kept on running forward. Spotting an odd shadow cast by the palm trees, Sonic jumped up and felt a new sense of energy and was surrounded by a sparkling aura. It cleared up any lingering nausea that he had and allowed him to laugh at the moat of spikes blocking the way as he literally ran over them. Sonic's quills ground through another fake wall he spotted coming a mile away and that led him to duck into a tunnel.
When he reached fresh air again, the breeze was spoiled by the sudden appearance of lizard-like badniks and a crab. They all were turned into a crowd of grateful rabbits and Flicky birds. A spring took Sonic high into the air, the wind rushing by him. When his feet reached solid earth again, he had to shake his head at the latest obstacle blocking his way. A spiral spiked log slowly spinning above a large rushing waterfall. Sonic sighed as he had to painfully, agonizingly and above all else slowly make his way across the log. Sadly the slow pace didn't suit the hedgehog and just had to speed up, giving leave for some spikes to dig into his feet. Sonic gritted his teeth and panted, hopping from foot to foot. The spray from a nearby waterfall was calming enough to have him running again instead of awkwardly hopping. Yet he still couldn't suppress a shiver when he leapt over yet another pit of spikes, their sharp ends gleaming in the bright light from the cloudless sky. That soaring jump had him impact something in the trees, and Sonic felt himself energized and a familiar blue sparkling aura surrounded him yet again. Carried forward with this new energy he eventually with a screech and a trail of dust braked himself with a turn of his shoes. Sonic's view turned to see hovering in the air in his egg mobile yet again was Dr. Eggman. "Yohohoho, Sonic. You think you've done well to make it this far but no more. Your meddling ends here." Arms outstretched over the Eggmobile, Eggman declared. "Behold my latest creation. The... the..." Sonic crossed his arms, raised his eyebrow and just quietly tapped his foot, wanting to get the beat down going. Eggman spluttered, finally giving up the attempt to dramatically reveal his latest creation. "Alright, I was hoping you wouldn't even get this far." He slammed his hand down on the console and came to a hasty decision. "Fine! Behold Sonic, the Eggmobile H!" Said mobile had a bottom hatch that opened and a large checkered sphere dropped down on a chain which against all expectations due to its weight, had links that clinked against each other. Then against all the rules of physics, it swung upwards behind Eggman and hurled itself towards Sonic.
The hedgehog jumped up onto a ledge above him and leapt off of it just as the wrecking ball crashed into the wall next to it. Debris and rather large rocks were sent flying out from the impact, bouncing harmlessly against the ground. Sonic on the other hand, curled into a ball headed straight for a crash course into the Egg Mobile H. Of course the impact made Sonic bounce off the vehicle way too close for comfort near the returning wrecking ball. Still some very delicate yet bulky machinery was jostled inside of the Egg Mobile H. Then Sonic took off running to a ledge behind Eggman, not that the doctor would let the hedgehog do as he would without a fight. The doctor pulled on the controls, thrusters moving his vehicle along with the motion of wrecking ball. Sonic kept on leaping, somersaulting over the pursuing checkered sphere. His body and quills smashing and piercing the metal round frame of Eggman's machine. Sparks and arcs of electricity danced across broken circuits and disabled motors, pistons and engines. Even more worrying for the doctor were that the important parts regulating control of the machine's functions began to fall out of the holes made by Sonic with every attack the hedgehog made. This only made Eggman set the speed of his Egg Mobile H into overdrive, trying to squish Sonic underneath the inertia defying weight of the wrecking ball. The doctor got in one lucky shot but had his mustache droop at the sight of Sonic shrugging it off with the energy of that aura of his. One last impact with Sonic jostled one part too many and open fuel line set off a chain mini explosions all around the machine. The weapon attachment was now deadweight so Eggman had the chain dropped and the wrecking ball crashed on the ground, making a sizable crater. "Curse you hedgehog, this isn't the end!" Eggman shouted as he flew off, face full of soot and Egg Mobile smoking.
Sonic chased after him but slowed down at the sight that loomed up before him. Contrasting harshly against the natural setting of the zone was something more important he had to deal with and gave Eggman a chance to escape. It was a large metallic capsule with a logo of Eggman's face on its side. The soft sound of manic scratching came from inside the container. The hedgehog's eyes widened and the blue blur jumped up, spotting a yellow switch on the top of the capsule he slammed himself on it. Bouncing off the device, behind the hedgehog a chain of explosions shattered the walls of the container. Fleeing in droves from the machine prison were more brown and white Pocky bunnies and small Flicky bluebirds. Sonic smiled at the sight of his animal friends having their freedom returned to them. But Eggman was still out there over the horizon and the hedgehog continued his pursuit of the mad scientist yet again.
