((HEYO! This is part of a little experiment I'm doing. I want to write a Sonic story, so I'm just going to post introductions for both of my ideas and see which one is more popular. You can vote in the poll on my page for which one I should continue with first.))

Introduction

~Apotos~

Ah yes, Apotos. A peaceful, seaside village where you can go to be calm and... hold on... that's a blue and purple streak...

Sonic and Blaze sped by, dashing through Apotos' streets and practically knocking citizens off their feet. What could they be up to?

~Windmill Isle~

Sonic dashed up a building, glancing back every few seconds. Reaching the top, he boosted around in circles and caught a zip line down. He boosted through to avoid getting caught, completely forgetting that Blaze can boost, too.

He spin dashed around a corner (Blaze can drift, too) then he Homing Attacked a spring (Blaze can Homing Attack, too) and just royally failed to shake Blaze off his tail.

"Dang it!"

He collected some rings and continued Boosting, his only advantage was if he could collect all the rings before Blaze; and it seemed to be working, since Blaze stopped boosting.

"Yes!"

Showing off, he boosted in circles up a large building and stopped at the top, doing the "loser" thing with his fingers on his forehead.

"You're too slow!"

Blaze watched Sonic dash back down and away, then sighed. "His he truly anti-me?" she asked herself, exasperated, the raced in the direction he had gone in.

The sun was going down by now, and Blaze wanted to stop this nonsense, but Sonic was intent on finishing this race.

Sonic was laughing so hard, Blaze is anti-him and can't even keep up with him.

"Way past easy!" he cried.

Suddenly, the ground started shaking powerfully.

"Uh-oh..."

He stopped short when the ground started breaking apart.

"Where have I seen this before?"

Soon, a dark aura shot up out of the ground, and Sonic became engulfed in it. He felt a familiar sensation...

"No way! This is..."

No time for that! Blaze, having barely any time to react, fell off the world.

"Blaze!"

Sonic, realizing that he was... unleashing (excuse the pun) stretched his arm down and grabbed her.

"Dark Gaia, it's always Dark Gaia!"

Pulling Blaze, who was unconscious now, back up, and feeling slightly annoyed, began to walk back over to the town. Until...

"Hey Sonic! Guess what?! Dark Gaia and I are back!"

"Chip?!" Sonic spun around, and, sure enough, the little light god was right there.

"Hi Sonic!" Chip said, waving.

Sonic's jaw dropped. "What? WhatwhatwhatWHAT?!"

"It turns out," Chip said. "When Eggman released Dark Gaia and I a few years ago, it wasn't that long before we were supposed to be released!"

Sonic was confused.

"Hey Sonic? Who are you carrying?"
