Sonic Hearts
Chapter 1: The Egg and The Witch
Sonic the Hedgehog sat on a small hill watching the sunset. Tails and Knuckles sat with him. "Remind me why I'm here." Knuckles said. "Well, at the precise moment that Angel Island blocks out the sun, causing the monthly Angel Eclipse, Eggman will launch his newest plot. Or at least, that's what his diary says!" Tails said, holding up a small pink book with an Eggman symbol on it. "What a moron. He keeps a diary…A pink one at that…And leaves it in the most predictable place ever…" Sonic said. "Under his mattress." Knuckles laughed. Then he stopped. "Are you guys sure this isn't a trap? I mean, this guys a genius. How'd he be dumb enough to leave his diary where anyone could find it?" Tails and Sonic exchanged a glance, and said, "Uh oh." Suddenly, the Angel Eclipse began. Sonic looked up, and his mouth opened in a gasp. A cage was falling out of the sky. Before the trio could react, they were trapped. But something was odd. "Hey, this isn't an Eggman Created Cage!" Sonic said. "Correct, you blue swine." A cold, female voice said. Suddenly a witch appeared before them. Her skin was a greenish tone, and she was dressed all in black, with a hood sporting horns. A crow perched on her shoulder. Suddenly Dr. Eggman floated down out of the sky in his Eggmobile. "Wonderful, wonderful! You managed to catch them!" Eggman laughed. "Did you have any doubt?" The witch asked, coldly. Eggman gulped. "N-no, of course not. Sonic, I see you've met my new friend, Maleficent." The witch, Maleficent, gave them a small, cold, smile.
Sonic growled in anger and curled into a Spin Dash. He rammed the bars…Only to be thrown back! "You will not escape." Maleficent said. "That cage is reinforced with Dark Magic. Nothing can break that." Sonic ground his teeth angrily. Maleficent raised a hand and small, black, imp-like creatures emerged from the shadows. "Heartless. Take them away." The small beings called Heartless grabbed the cage and lifted it up. Maleficent raised another hand and a swirling vortex opened in front of the cage. The Heartless and the cage went through. Maleficent followed. Eggman, in his Eggmobile, followed as well. Sonic watched, thinking up an escape plan, but suddenly a figure that looked like a mouse appeared before Maleficent and smacked her with what appeared to be a key. The Heartless dropped the cage so quickly that Sonic and his friends banged their heads on the bars and passed out.
Sonic slowly opened his eyes and sat up. He rubbed a spot on his head with a big lump. "Ouch…That hurt." He said. He looked around and gasped. He wasn't in a cage…He was sitting in an alley! A sign sat in front of him that read 'Welcome to Traverse Town! Please, enjoy your stay!' Sonic stood and walked out of the alley. The town had a small number of people walking around, but all were human. Sonic raised his non-existent eyebrows. Suddenly they all fled in terror. Sonic turned to see what they were fleeing. A gang of the creatures Maleficent had called Heartless. "This may not be my world…" Sonic said. "But I'm not just gonna let these people get hurt!" He hit a Heartless with a spin dash. The creature flew backwards, but it stood up, completely unharmed! Sonic gaped, then punched. His punch went right through the creatures body. He tried kicking. Same result. They all piled on top of them and were scratching at his chest. Sonic had a feeling he was going to die, but suddenly, a voice inside his head said, "Do not worry. There is no need to fear. For you hold the greatest power there is…" A glowing object suddenly appeared in Sonics hand, "The Keyblade." The Heartless hissed and leapt off of him. Sonic stood up and stared at the key in his hand. "Key…Blade?" He looked at it again, then at the Heartless. "Well, whatever it is, they fear it. And that's good enough for me!" He raised the key over his head and charged at the Heartless.
Sorry for the short chap, this is basically just a Prologue…
