Ch1: Dimensional Xros! Landing at the Land of Dragons!
Dashing through evergreen hills; a blue blur ran through the land without at care in the worlds. Sporting red sneakers with a white stripe on them, white socks & white gloves; the blue hedgehog with his emerald colored eyes, ran up to a small workshop atop a hill that towered above the rest. The small workshop was a shade of orange, with a small water wheel system on its side; on the other side, a large door with a symbol of two fox tails stood overlooking a long dirt runway that a plane could take off and land on. The hedgehog knocked on the door; it was opened by a small, gold-colored fox with teal-colored eyes, white fur on his chest, the tip of his two tails, and whisker's on his cheeks; with a pair of similar red sneakers with a white stripe on them, white socks and white gloves. Upon answering the fox's face turned a cheerful smile as he recognized a familiar face.
"Sonic!" yelled the fox happily as he embraced him with a hug.
"Hey Tails! Long time no see!" replied Sonic, putting his and on the fox's head.
"What are you doing here?" asked Tails, letting him go. Sonic gave him a thumb's up and answered, "I can visit a friend can't I?" He entered his friend's workshop and they both engaged in a conversation.
"It's been pretty peaceful around here. Looks like ole Eggman's back on the drawing board."
"Yeah, but knowing him, he must be up to something" Tails told him.
"Well, whatever it is, we'll put a stop to it. Right, Tails?"
"Right!" Tails cheered. Sonic stood up and asked his buddy, "What's say you and I go for a run for old times sake?" Tails jumped up and stood next to him.
"Ok!" he answered; they both went outside and in a flash Sonic was off running with his best friend right behind him, using both of his tails as a propeller to keep up.
They sped up and down hills like a jet and across grassy plains in a flash. However, their fun was cut short when the sky turned a dark-blue color.
"What the…."
"Sonic, what's going on?"
"I don't know pal…..but it's not good." Sonic told him. An earthquake shook the land, causing Tails to fall back, the sky flashed and for an instant, it looked as though it glitched out, revealing a more purple sky before returning to it's ominous shade.
"What the-?" Sonic bolted, leaving Tails behind.
"Sonic! Where are you going?" Tails stood up, only to fall as another tremor hit.
"What's going on?" thought Sonic as he kept running, "At first I thought It was Eggman that caused the earthquake, but there's no way he could have made the sky do that!" His run however, was cut short when a giant portal opened up under his feet.
"Woah!" he yelled; as hard as the hedgehog could try, he couldn't escape and fell inside it. The sky then returned to it's cool shade of blue and the tremor's stopped.. Tails had just arrived at the sight, but his friend was nowhere to be seen.
:Sonic? Where'd you go?" the fox asked, only to be answered by the silence, not even the wind was blowing. Tails then used his two tails and started to fly around the sight to try and find his friend, unaware that his best friend was gone.
"Wah!" Sonic yelled as he fell through the never ending portal. A bright light blinded him as he fell and his face met the ground in a crash.
"Ow….." he groaned as he shook off the crash, "that's gonna leave a mark….where am I?"
Lush green land and colossal mountains surrounded Sonic as he looked around, the sound of water crashing filled his eardrums as he saw the entrance to a forest to his left and an open plain to his right.
"Nice place" he commented, "but I can't stay, Tails must be worried." Sonic reached into the quills on his back and pulled out a crimson-red emerald. "Good thing I recovered the 7 Chaos Emeralds last time I laid a beat down on Egghead."
He raised the emerald in the air, "Chaos Control!" he yelled, but nothing happened.
"Huh?" he wondered, and tried it again, "Chaos Control!" but the same result occurred.
"What's going on?" he thought, "Why can't I warp back home? Are the emeralds power's nullified?" He looked over to the entrance to the forest.
"Hmm…..Chaos Control!" The emerald emanated a bright red light and in a flash, Sonic appears at the front of the entrance.
"I don't get it…If I can warp to the beginning of this forest, why can't I go back home?" His thought was cut short when he heard an explosion on the other side of the mountains.
"What the-?" He looked over to see another. "I'll figure it out later!" He dashed toward the mountains, and sped up them in a matter of seconds. As he trekked down he stopped and hid behind a boulder when he spotted two giant dragons. One of them, dark-red with grey spikes protruding out of his shoulder blades, two the side of his knees and fore arms and around his entire collar, with three black horns coming out of his back and one on the top of his snout, two red horns near the top of his head, yellow eyes with purple irises. What stood out though was the two cannons on his chest with the symbol of a flame on them and a scar on his two eyes.
The other, black with wings, four crimson-red eyes, two on each side of its face. And a skull tattoo on it's shoulder blades, was struggling to get up. Both of them taller than a building. It flew up in the air and attempted to attack the other yelling, "Crimson Claw!" The red dragon easily jumped out of the way and yelled, "Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" The two cannons on it's chest glowed and two blasts of fire shot out of them and hit the other dragon dead on and to Sonic's surprise, the black dragon started to deteriorate into into small bits of yellow light as it started to fade.
"Damn you….Dorbickmon!" it growled before vanishing completely
"Hmph….." Dorbickmon brushed off the comment and proceeded to walk away.
"Hey!" Sonic yelled as he came out of his hiding place and approached the dragon, who looked as if he grew bigger the more Sonic got close to him, ending up shorter than the dragons knee when he got as close as possible..
"What was that about?" Sonic questioned the giant dragon. The dragon gave him a cold look.
"Hmph, I don't need to explain myself to a weakling like you." Dorbickmon belittled him, "That idiot Devidramon mad his own grave when he decided to get his so-called revenge. Weak dragon's like him aren't needed, they have no place here, they can't survive, they have no backbone, no right to live, they are only in the way." Dorbickmon started to walk away and was stopped by Sonic, who stood in his way.
"Out of the way, worthless rat" Dorbickmon growled at him.
"I'm a hedgehog!" Sonic told him, "Sonic The Hedgehog to be exact!"
"Hmph, move before I crush you under my foot!" Dorbickmon threatened.
"Wanna bet?" Sonic grinned.
"Hm?"
"You heard me," Sonic's cockiness took the stage, "You and me, right now. We'll fight it out."
"Hmph" Dorbickmon scoffed, "alright, if you're so intent on going to your grave early, I'll be happy to show you the way." Dorbickmon then turned to walk in the other direction, stopped and turned to face the hedgehog once he was a few feet away.
"Little does this runt know, I can freely control this terrain at will. He'll be six feet under in less than a minute" Dorbickmon thought.
"I might be getting in over my head, but this guy…he reminds me a lot of someone I know…but enough of that for now, time to see how tough this guy really is!"
"Hmph!' barked Dorbickmon, putting a sneer on his face, "You really are out for a death wish aren't you?" The hedgehog only smiled with excitement and replied, "Don't count me out because I'm a puny little hedgehog to ya."
"You've got nerve, I'll give you that!" retorted Dorbickmon, his eyes flashed and boulders come out of the ground, surrounding the hedgehog. "But this battle was over before it even started!" the dragon roared. Turning his hands into fists, the boulders crashed together above the hedgehog, breaking into pieces and crushing everything under their massive weight.
"Weakling" Dorbickmon muttered, "He was all talk..." Standing behind him on a nearby ledge though, Sonic jumped towards the dragon yelling, "Was I?" and smashed his fist into the dragon's snout before he could react. Dorbickmon forcefully took a step back, holding his snout with one hand. Sonic landed a few feet away from him.
"You little! How is it you're not crushed to bits?"
"Heh" Sonic chuckled "I told you not to underestimate me."
Dorbickmon brushed off the injury. "Well, I can assure you that won't happen again" With a roar, "Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!" Dorbickmon fired two blasts of fire from the cannons on his chest. Sonic then dashed towards a colossal stone nearby as the blasts followed after him. As he approached the stone, Sonic jumped, curled up into a ball and spin-dashed through the rock, coming out on the other side as the blast's imploded into the stone, reducing it to pebbles.
"So that's it" muttered Dorbickmon to himself, "His speeds what saved him back then; which means if I can rip that out of him, he will be at my mercy. I'll show that runt the foolish error he made in trying to challenge me. The weak have no place here and I'll drill that into his skull!" "That was close" Sonic told himself. Out of the smoke, Dorbickmon came out and slammed his fist onto the ground. Sonic managed to jump before the impact, landing on the dragon's hand. He then bolted up Dorbickmon's arm jumped and spin-dashed into his chest. Dorbickmon irked in pain, but managed to hold off the force; he grabbed Sonic before the hedgehog could land and proceeded to crush him in the palm of his hand.
"Beg for your life if you want to live" Dorbickmon threatened him.
"Heh, I've gotten out of tighter squeezes!"
"Is that so? Then How about I crush you even harder!" Dorbickmon bellowed, tightening his grip on Sonic even further. "How's that?" he questioned Sonic. "Urk!….What the…?" Dorbickmon felt like he was crushing a bed of razor-sharp spikes which caused him to yell in the pain; he opened his palm to see Sonic was alive and well; he then leapt away form the dragon.
"Damn….You!" Dorbickmon growled and spewed out fire from his mouth.
"What?" Sonic looked behind and moved out of the flames trajectory; but it razed him from the side. Sonic landed and immediately started hopping around yelling, "HOT! HOT!" Dorbickmon took advantage of this and summoned a blade of flames out of his mouth. Yelling "Tyrant Collbrande!", he slammed the sword into the ground; the flames expanding as the attack reached the hedgehog.
"Whoa!" Sonic jumped out of the way and hid in a trench.
"What is this guy trying to do? Is he really trying to kill me?"
"Come out, you little runt!" Dorbickmon shouted.
"Whoever this guy is…." Sonic pondered in his mind "He's taking this battle seriously. Does it really mean that much to him?" The hedgehog flashed back, remembering what Dorbickmon had told him, "The weak can't survive; they're just useless pawns that have no power.."
"I wonder if-" Sonic's thought was cut short when a stalactite rose up from the ground next to him. "Damn!"
"Found you!" Dorbickmon bellowed; with a flash of his eyes, he trapped the hedgehog by summoning pillars of stone around Sonic's body.
"I can't move!" Sonic thought as he struggled to break free. A few inches away, a red jewel reflected of a glimmer of light. "A Chaos Emerald!"
"It's over now!" Dorbickmon thundered, "Dragon Breath Tonic Fire!"
"Got…..to reach it!" Sonic muttered, struggling as hard as he could to reach the emerald. The blast of flame closed into their target, before they imploded, a yell came out from the trench, "Chaos Control!" and the blast's met each other in a wall of flames.
"As I thought" Dorbickmon told himself; he turned and started walking in the opposite direction when he heard a familiar voice, "Where do you think your going?" Turning around, Sonic stood on a hill, grinning. The dragon couldn't believe his eyes.
"I-impossible! You shouldn't even be breathing right now!"
"Now it's time to get serious!" Sonic yelled and curled up into a spin-dash. Orbs of light started infusing themselves into him as the he spun around. Emanating the light absorbed, Sonic vanished in a beam of light.
"What?" Dorbickmon yelled; he was then struck with a barrage of attacks at light speed. The last blow struck him in the gut with so much sheer force, it caused him to cough up a puff of smoke as he was plowed through pillars of stone. Using his speed, Sonic broke out of his spin-dash and delivered one final kick to the dragon, in which Dorbickmon crashed into a stone his size.
"That's Game!" Sonic told him, "Hey, we should do this again sometime!" he gave him a thumbs up, but his smile faded when he small orbs of yellow light coming out of the rubble.
"What?" The hedgehog ran over only to watch as Dorbickmon is deteriorating into data.
"Gh…to think…It could be…..killed…..by a runt like you!" Dorbickmon himself. That word struck a hole in the hedgehogs heart; he immediately ran up as close as he could get to the dragon and extended his arm, holding the red emerald in his hand. "Grab the emerald" Sonic told him.
"Grr…why….should I listen….to you? The dragon snarled, "This…could all…be a trick your….trying to pull!…. You….gh…..little-"
"It wasn't my intention to kill you!" Sonic interrupted him. Dorbickmon paused after hearing this.
"…..if this is some kind of trick-"
"It's not!" Sonic reassured him. Dorbickmon reluctantly grabbed the emerald; it gave off a blinding light that healed the dragon's wounds. Dorbickmon stood up as Sonic turned around to recover the other emeralds. Dorbickmon turned to walk in the other direction. Sonic stored the emeralds inside the quills on his back and turned to see Dorbickmon walking away.
"Hmm….well, I don't know any of these parts…. And Chaos Control can't get me back home….he's my best chance at knowing where I am." Sonic made his decision and in the blink of an eye, caught up with the dragon.
"Don't follow me…" Dorbickmon growled at him, not even bothering to glance at him. Sonic in turn, only laughed as his reply, which angered him.
"What's so funny?" Dorbickmon growled.
"Nothing…" Sonic replied, "You just remind me of a certain black hedgehog I know. You act just like him." he smiled.
This confused Dorbickmon, but he ignored it and kept walking, with Sonic right behind him.
"So your name's Dorbickmon?" Sonic asked him. Dorbickmon didn't answer.
"Not much of a talker are you?" he added.
"Grr…..stop following me…" Dorbickmon growled, "You're annoying…".
Sonic chuckled, "I've been told that by the same person so many times…"
Dorbickmon became frustrated, "Why are you even following me in the first place?" he roared.
"Well" Sonic began, "I want to apologize for nearly killing you." Dorbickmon turned and looked at Sonic. "And I also want to thank you for the fun battle!" Sonic added. This only angered Dorbickmon further.
"Having fun in a battle? That's ridiculous!" Dorbickmon pondered in his mind, "This runt must be mocking me! He's lucky I don't crush his puny skull right now!"
"That…and you're the only one who knows where I am.; so I thought I'd just follow you until I figure out a way back into my own world."
"This shrimp isn't a Digimon?" Dorbickmon thought, "And he was able to defeat me?" Dorbickmon clenched his fist in anger. Looking up at him, Sonic asked, "You okay?" Dorbickmon stood there for a minute and furiously answered "I'm FINE!" and stormed off. Sonic only sighed, "Nice to meet you too….." and followed.
