Chapter 1: The Speedster, the Captive, and the Ever Growing Giant

The Tales of The Arabian Knights.

They tell of stories of lost kingdoms, undiscovered and wild lands, and great heroes like Sinbad, Ali Baba, and King Solomon. It is also home to the great Djinn and Genies, who guard the lands. But now something is astir, and they are to call on someone from outside the book to help.

That someone was sleeping soundly in his room, with a book on his head. He was a blue hedgehog, with red shoes, a peach muzzle and arms, with sleepy emerald green eyes. His name is Sonic the Hedgehog, the hero of Mobius.

Sonic was taking a nap after his success in his last adventure, snoozing away and chilling, but today that day was going to change.

"Umm…." A female voice stuttered softly, as if it was trying to speak to him, but Sonic continued to snooze away.

"Hmph!" The voice huffed, not appreciating she was being ignored. "Hey! Wake up!" The voice reached his ears, awakening the blue hedgehog. Sonic picked the book off his head and stretched with a long yawn.

"Boy, is it that late already? What time is it?" Sonic asked as he accidentally reached and grabbed a large ring. "Huh?" He was curious as to how it got there, but then something was coming out of it.

"You are the blue hedgehog." the voice came again as a woman in arabian dance clothing sprung out from the ring, hovering in the air.

"AH! What the!?" Sonic jumped and skid back in surprise by her sudden appearance.

"Please, do not be alarmed. I am Sharah, Genie of the Ring." she said before trying to familiarize sonic with herself by magically grabbing the book that rested on his head before. "You know, like Aladdin and the Magic Lamp?"

"Don't think I've read that." Sonic gave his reply as he stood up.

"Seriously? It's be best story of all the Arabian Nights. Well, maybe the 2nd best…" Sharah shook her head, "But that's besides the Point," She held the book up to him, "Please, look at this." She showed each page, only seeing nothing on the pages.

"Its blank." Sonic said as shara turned it to a full page.

"Our world….the world of the Arabian Nights….is vanishing." Sharah explained, as they watched words from one page vanish in smoke.

"Vanishing? But how?" Sonic questioned.

"This is the work of an incredibly evil spirit, the Erazor Djinn." Sharah said.

"Erazor… Djinn?" Sonic asked.

"Yes. He used his evil magic to become even more powerful. He cannot bear to remain in the book for any longer." The Genie explained.

"What do you mean by that?" The blue hedgehog asked.

"What I mean is, since he has set the inscriptions free, he is absorbing the power of the book itself." She answered.

"The power of the book?" Sonic said to himself.

"And what is worse, before this book came to you, it had come into the hands of a human." Sharah said.

"What? Like from my world?" Sonic asked.

"Yes. Erazor, as he gained power, put a curse on this book. For if a mortal touched the book, they would be trapped inside its pages." Shara explained.

Sonic grew silent for a second. This Erazor Djinn guy sounds like a huge threat. "That definitely sounds like trouble. But what do you want me to do about it?"

"I want you to stop him… you must stop the Erazor Djinn. Only you, the blue Hedgehog, can do it." Sharah said.

"So, this guy needs someone to put him in his place, does he?" Shahra's face lit up with hope in her eyes, as Sonic gave his traditional trade-mark grin. "I suppose I can help out with that. It might even be fun. But… this is all something out of a storybook, right? How do i get in?"

"Thats easy. You are my master, having called forth the Genie of the Ring." Sharah said. "As such, i am able to grant your wishes. Simple wishes at any rate. Taking you to the world of the Arabian Nights is within my power."

"What!? Inside that book?" Sonic gasped, as she vanished in smoke and a ring landed on the table.

"Now please, place the ring on your finger." Sharah instructed.

Sonic grinned. "Sharah, if you want to marry me, you have to take me on a date."

"What!?" Even though she was in the ring, she was blushing like crazy.

"Pfhahaha! I'm sorry, Sharah. It was too perfect to pass." Sonic laughed. "So, like this?"

As he slipped the ring on his right finger, he felt a bit of a shock. "OUCH! Hey, take it easy!"

"My apologies, o master. But now the contract has been sealed." Sharah said.

"Contract?" Sonic asked.

"Yes. As master of the ring, I am now bound to protect you. Now, rub the ring to call me." Sharah instructed.

"Like...like this?" Sonic rubbed it, as Sharah was summon again, but now bowing.

"Oh, Master of the Ring, what is Thy wish?" She asked.

Before sonic could reply, he sneezed. "Ah-Choo! AH-CHOO! How about a handkerchief for starters? Make that a few."

Nodding to his request, Shahra waved her hand, and a pile of handkerchiefs piled on sonic.

Sonic happily grabbed one and blew into it, getting the last of the runny substance out.

"Thanks, you're a lifesaver." He thanked. "You see, I caught this cold yesterday, and…"

"Please, be serious!" Shahra snapped lightly.

"Okay, okay! Thank's for the hankies, though." He thanked again, tossing the used one into the fire.

"Oh, please. Somebody tell me this isn't really happening." Shahra begged again.

"Alright! Let's go! Take me to this world of the Arabian Nights!" Sonic smirked, eager to get started on their new adventure.

"As you wish, Master." Shahra bowed to his command.

"Quit it, will you? My name's Sonic, Sonic the Hedgehog!" Sonic greeted smirking.

"Very well, then, Sonic…The Legendary Hedgehog." Shahra smiled. Here we go! Into the world of the Arabian Nights!"

"Ok!" Sonic cheered.

Shahra held her hand up and conjured up a Magic carpet.

"Now, this is first Class!" Sonic said as he jumped on.

"Here we go!" Sonic called as they vanished into the book.

Arabian Knights.

Stage Location- Sand Oasis, Royal Palace

Inside the palace, a boy in his teens wearing clothing to look like a Persian wandering warrior with a sword and still wearing his sneakers dropped into the Sand Oasis start position.

(Cue-Let The Speed Mend It)

3...2...1...GO!

The boy ran through the ocean of sand, as the wind blew in his face. Moving past a dead end, he came across Djinn warriors.

"Man, these guys are everywhere. I'm just looking for a way out of this book! You don't need to appear all the time!" he said.

"Foolish mortal!" said as male voice as a male djinn in a cloak and arabic pants appeared. "There is no way out. You were cursed when you touched the book, remember? I, the Great Erazor Djinn shall carve this world clean! And the rest shall Join them! Night, by Night! And then, with the Seven World Rings…!"

"You talk too much!" The boy snapped, lunging at him and slamming the back of his blade into his face, tumbling him back.

"Ah, how pitiful. Your modern mortals of the outside world have ears so sullied, that you cannot comprehend words of what is to come." Erazor said. "But when the Arabian Knights vanish, so shall you, as you are trapped here. There is no escape for you."

"There may not be, but I'm guessing if you're trying to get out, beating you might get me out. Don't get me wrong, this place is amazing and all. But i've been trapped in here for maybe say… a few months? I'll beat you and get outta here, and who knows? Maybe i'll rub it in your face if i find one of these Seven World Rings you keep blabbing about every time we meet."

Erazor grew silent, but then Laughed. "HAHAHAHAHA! You seriously believe you can simply find one of the seven World Rings!? Foolish Human! They were very well hidden in the Arabian Nights! But with my army out, I shall find them before you!" Erazor boasted before sensing something. "Ah… so she brought someone. If you'll excuse me, I have to greet some new guests. Have fun roaming the desert."

He disappeared.

(end song-stage end)

"Hey, would it kill you to say my name for once?!" he asked but he was gone. "Oh, yeah. High and mighty does not wish to know the name that is Adam. Well, better get to the palace. Hopefully i can rest up there."

He scaled the palace walls and went inside the rooms, darting about, but seeing no guards.

"Weird… shouldn't there be guards trying to stop me from sneaking in?" He asked himself, before the floor below him crumbled and he fell. "Ahhh!" He fell in a room and looked up.

"Ow, that was quite a fall…" Shadow said seeing himself in a dark room. "Man, this palace goes down deeper than i thought. Probably fell a few floors…"

He then saw massive piles of food.

"Whoah, mama! Jackpot! Maybe this is food storage, but how much is on those plates for someone to eat? Oh who cares, i've been living off only nuts and those mango fruits. I'm starving!"

He leaped from his post and onto something soft and unbalanced.

"Buh? Whats with this floor, it's all squishy and soft." he said moving on his legs a bit to test the ground. His foot sunk into the flesh below. "Huh...weird." Adam walked forward before he hits himself into two large round mounds of flesh. "What are these?" He asked himself pushing it and it bounced back.

"Mmm…' he hear someone say.

"Huh? Did i hear someo.. WHOA!" Adam said slliping and accidentally grabbing part of the mound a little too tight. The touch made another sound be heard, before the ground shook again.

"Ouch! Ah! I...is someone there?" A reserved, shy voice said as the lights came on.

"Gah!" Adam said shielding himself from the sudden light. "Hey, whoa whoa whoa… yaargh!"

Adam was tossed out and onto what appeared to be a bed.

"Wh-whats wrong with you?" the voice said.

"I uh… whaaaaaaa?!" Adam said looking at was was right in front of him.

"Wh-what were you doing, stepping on my body, and even touching my Bosom!?" The voice asked, as it revealed a girl, blushing like crazy.

"Uh… I…" Adam said. He didn't know what else to say to this girl… for she was HUGE.

Her hair was emerald green, long to her waist, some of it was tied, wearing a belly dancer outfit that was purple, and arabian green leggings, with shy and soft purple eyes. As with all belly dancers, it was open at the stomach and covered her sides and waist. Around her leg area, she was barefoot but had those belly dancing rings, three on each and gold in color.

"I.. im just… Im so sorry big Girl. I didn't know you were sleeping.' Adam apologized.

She blushed at the name she was given. "M-my name is Jenna, not big girl, pervert!"

"I didn't mean it like that! You're whole body i mean.. Your HUGE!" Adam said.

"Huh… o-oh, that…" she said a bit shy. "About that you see… I-im a.. Well…"

"Really big belly dancer? Did i hit the mark?" Adam joked a bit.

"N-no. Well, I am dressed that way. I'm a…. Well i'm a giantess, i guess." Jenna said.

"A really shy one…" Adam said.

"Yes….so, why are you here?" Jenna asked the warrior.

"Well, it was just another day in my world that i was going through my library when the book on the Arabian nights appeared. I touched it, and the I got sucked into here. There was this Erazor guy here, he's been taking the pages from the book out, trying to get free, and he wants the seven world rings. I just want out, and i've been looking for one. I figured if Erazor was the key, maybe i just have to beat him up to get out." Adam said. "And uh… what about you? I don't remember seeing a gigantic Belly Dancer in any of the stories in here..."

"Oh, i've living in the arabian nights for all my life." Jenna said. "I don't know how i was born, all I know is that i was made and to be here. Because i'm big like this… none of the story worlds will accept me into the pages and.. And… they think i might break the story if I do come out."

"What? That's full of boloney if you ask me. I think everyone deserves a change in a story, no matter their size." Adam stated.

"Thanks… but i actually want to go where you were." Jenna said.

"How?" Adam asked.

"I figured…. If i keep getting bigger and bigger, I might be able to break out of this book….but it requires a massive amount of energy. So far, there's not a source of energy that I can use to grow." Jenna explained.

"Some people here say the world rings are filled with energy, but i dunno.." Adam said. "I've got an idea!"

"What is it?" Jenna asked.

"The last few months I was here, I did encounter these orbs of some sort. They seem to draw energy. If you absorb them, you might have the energy to grow." Adam explained.

"Y-you really want to help… me?" Jenna asked.

"Of course. You wanna get outta this book, and so do I. We can help each other out." Adam smiled, before large hands grabbed him and brought him into a hug.

"Oh thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is the sweetest thing anyone has done for me!" Jenna squealed, smothering him in her Bosom.

"Ack! Easy! Dont crush me!" Adam gasped for breath.

"Oh, sorry!" She quickly put him down, blushing.

"Now how do we get out of here…?" Adam said grabbing some rations. " That door is too small for you so… how big are you right now?"

"Well….I'm...um….20 feet tall." She replied.

"Really? I bet you could push that wall down so we can get outta here." Adam said.

"You… think I'm that strong?" Jenna asked.

"Only one way to find out…" Adam said guestering to the wall.

"Oh… ok…"

Jenna got off her bed and went to the wall. She pushed against it, as it started cracking.

"Yes! Keep going, Jenna! You're almost through!" Adam cheered.

With one final push the wall came down.

"I did it!" Jenna said.

(Cue- Let the Speed Mend It)

"Alright! Now follow me closely and let's get outta here!" Adam sid.

3...2...1... GO!

The two ran out of the area and down the sandy path. Along the way, they came across some of the orbs Adam was talking about.

"These are called World Orbs. They kinda give me some energy." Adam said as they got some. "Felling any bigger yet?"

"Not really much." She replied, feeling no effects.

"Maybe we need some bigger ones. I bet where there's big bosses and World Rings, there's the ones you need." Adam said.

"Yes… lets go." Jenna said as they saw Razors men dash to the palace.

"Something must be up in the main building. Must be someone going to see the king of this place." Adam said.

"That palace over there belongs to King Shahryar. D-do you think he's in trouble?" Jenna asked.

"Dunno, never really went there, but i suppose." Adam said as they went to that direction.

Adam leaped from building to building as he made his way through the land. Jenna followed no problem. Because she was 20 ft tall, her strides were able to let her follow Adam easily.

"Huh?" She noticed a fast blue bur heading for the palace as well.

"I think I just saw…" Adam said as if he saw the hedgehog. "Nah he couldntve… Let's just scope the palace out."

(end song)

Adam found a good view point into the palace from a window.

"Easy enough for you to look through at your size?" Adam asked as Jenna looked through another.

"Yes.. I hope we don't get spotted because of me…" Jenna said. "Look in there." Adam looked at spotted Sharah and Sonic in the palace as well.

"What's he doing here…?" Adam said.

"Where is he? Are we too late?" Sonic asked. Then a jar began to move and out came an arabic royal man that looked almost similar too…

"Whats Dr. Eggman doing here?!" Sonic asked in shock, before replaced by anger. "Aha! I knew it! This is another one of your schemes!" he started approaching him.

"What is the meaning of this? I am Shahryar, King of this land!" The eggman look alike spoke.

"Eggman! What are you up to this time!?" Sonic growled, nearly close to him.

"It's not him…" Adam said.

"Hm?" Jenna asked.

"They look and sound the same, but that guy isn't Eggman. If he would be, he'd have robots all over sonic by now." Adam explained.

"Sonic wait!" Sharah got in between the two, "You're making a huge mistake! This is him. This is King Shahryar!"

"Really?!" Sonic asked in surprise.

"Such insolence…. Guards! Seize this blue spiky thing at once!" Sharyar said.

Silence….

"Where are your men, your Highness?" Sharah asked.

"Oh, thats right. Let me explain. When the evil spirits appeared out of nowhere, everyone turned and ran. And I was stuck having to hide in that jar." Sharyar said.

"That explains why the keep i found you in was not heavily guarded…" Adam said.

"This Erazor... he warded off the guards?" Jenna asked.

"Yeah, i think so… INCOMING!" Adam said nearly dodging a swooping Pterodactyl as it grabbed Shahrayar in its mouth, Erazor riding on top of it.

"NOOOOOO! HELP MEEEEEEEEEEE!" The king shouted in the air.

"Well well, guess it's time for a little action." Sonic said running after it.

"Where are they going?" Jenna asked.

"If I know it right, that pteranodon was going north. Which would be… to Dino Jungle." Adam replied.

"I did hear about that area a tad bit…" Jenna replied.

"Well, I'd think i'd know if there be a jungle full of Dinosaurs in this place…" Adam said before they came to a large sinking pile of sand. "Uh…"

"Is… is that normal?" Jenna asked.

"I've visited this place for a while...I never seen a sinkhole before.' Adam replied, before it started spouting sand.

"Adam! Get back! Something's coming out!" The girl stated. Adam jumped back before a large purple scorpion, three eyes, one on the front and one on each of its elbows where the stingers were appeared.

"A giant Scorpion!" Jenna shouted.

(Cue-Poison Spear)

"Aha, he seems pretty tough. Bet he's guarding the orb and a world ring. All right, let's do this!" Adam ran forward, unsheathing his blades while the scorpion started running away.

"I-I think the eye on its back is its weak spot! But it's only a guess…" Jenna said taking big running steps that kicked up sand.

"Won't know until we find out!" Adam replied, before jumping and slashing one of the eyes. The scorpion screeched in pain, before the stinger part fired small purple balls of magic at him. Adam evaded them, while one scratched the surface of his cheek.

"Urg, I'm not done with you!" The warrior called out and slashed the other eye. With another screech, the eye from the back popped out, with a razor jaw around it, charging at him.

"That's it! The eye is its weak point!" Adam smirked, evading the jaws and bashing the eye. It led out a piercing screech of pain, as the eye started retreating back to the body.

"Jenna! Hold the scorpion down! Don't let the eye return to the body!" The boy called.

"Done!" Jenna said trying her best.

"You're done, pal!" Adam shouted his battle cry slicing the eye in half as the Scorpion dissolved and was destroyed. Two Items the popped out of the purple smoke. A large glowing orb, and a large yellow ring.

"That's it! That has to be one of the Seven World Rings!" Adam said grabbing it with his chain hook.

"You.. you aren't going to keep it?" Jenna asked.

"Erazor wants these things. I'll leave Sonic to keep em. Besides, we have our own goal." Adam said hurling it away. "Get you so big, that you break the barriers of this book down."

Nodding, Jenna grabbed the orb and absorbed it. She glowed more brightly than before, as her body started growing, reaching at 40 feet this time.

"How's it feel?" Adam asked.

"Stronger." Jenna replied with a smile. "But i wonder… if this will end when we get out?"

"No it won't." Adam said. "I make a friend, I don't abandon them. You're gonna stay with me. This is only the first adventure."

Jenna smiled, before picking him up and hugging him gently. "Thank you, Adam."

"Ah, don't mention it." Adam said.

Setting him down, the two moved on to their next destination. Running through the sand ocean, they saw a page wall up ahead.

"I guess these are here to divert the worlds apart from one another." Adam said.

"I guess so...Oh, Adam, over there!" Jenna pointed a little further, seeing a portal to the next world.

"Well i'll take it." Adam said. "And Hopefully, Sonic and that Genie lady got the first world ring by now…" the two hurled through the page and were teleported to the next world that awaits them.

Meanwhile with Sonic and Shahra…

They were running along the desert path, more like Sarah floating by sonics side with Sonic doing most of the work, until they stopped to see the world ring in a crater, which Adam had tossed away earlier.

"Sharah, is that…?" Sonic questioned.

"This must be one of the Seven World Rings the Erazor Djinn spoke of." Sarah replied. She tried to grab it, but to no avail. "I can't pick it up…"

Sonic, out of curiosity, reached out to grab it. As soon as he did, he felt a massive shock of power.

"OW!" Sonic yelped loudly, holding his throbbing arm, until the shocking power stopped.

"When Darkness descendes on the Arabian nights-The legendary blue hedgehog from another world, shall come." Sharah spoke.

"Me, legendary? You gotta be kidding! You're gonna make me blush!" Sonic said, denying the fact that his already big ego was getting a massive trip.

"WHen the seven rings that control the world are gathered, the portal between the worlds shall open. But the life of the collector of the rings, shall be offered up in sacrifice as the key for that control. That is what was written in the newest chapter of the arabian nights." Sharah said.

"Say WHAT?! Im supposed to be offered as a sacrifice?" Sonic asked in shock.

"That i cannot say fure sure, but i do believe that these World Rings hold the key to some kind of mystery. And i think we need to collect them in order to get to the bottom of this mystery." Sharah said.

"Well, considering I still have this arrow in me to worry about, i guess i'm in a pinch either way, right?" Sonic replied. Having been struck with an Arrow of Flame by Erazor when entering the book, he now has to gather the seven rings. Or his life is 'forfeit'.

"Im sorry, its my fault this is happening to…" Sharah started, thinking it was her own fault.

Sonic laughed a bit. "Hey, don't worry about it. Besides, don't you know how fast i am? Time may fly, but I'm even faster!"

As they ran off, two stories are being told here.

As Sonic and Shahra go to gather the World Rings, the true line of the story lies with Adam and Jenna. To enlarge Jenna to a size massive enough to break the barriers down in the book.

Because there can always be another side to every story.
